The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

It is absolutely necessary to keep an eye on major projects.

Now, Sun Shan, leading a group of security guards, set out on the road to Da Niao Village again.

Sun Shan had to see for himself how the road behind the mountain of Da Niao Village was built; hearsay would not do.

Sun Shan asked, "Brother Nan has been at Aojiawan all this time?"

Gui Ge'er nodded and said, "Yes, I often keep an eye on the materials over there. If I don't, I won't know what's missing."

Sun Shan agreed, saying, "That's right. That's the way to do it. If we don't keep an eye on it for even a moment, something will go wrong."

People like Sun Dingnan, who are on the front line, need to be kept an eye on.

In the process of doing things, even if people are repeatedly reminded, there are still many people who do not follow the requirements.

What's more, working on the front line allows you to come into contact with many people and learn more.

Sun Dali also said: "Anan, this kid, has been tanned by the sun and has lost a lot of weight, but he is still very energetic."

Sun Dingnan came back a long time ago to reconcile accounts with Sun Shan and Master Zhang.

Afraid of being cheated by Mr. Wang, he would rather work harder and make more trips.

But the fact is that Mr. Wang did not make a lot of money from it, and he was still very attentive to the construction of the guano workshop.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Master Wang is a capable man. You can learn a lot from him. The Wang family's business is built on him."

Old Master Wang became rich, and Master Wang grew stronger, but none of the subsequent Wang family members, Sun Shan, was conspicuous.

It seems that the Wang family is working towards changing its family background, at least they have spent a lot of money on education.

For example, Wang Jiaxing, a branch of the Wang family, benefited from Old Master Wang's investment in the school, and many of the Wang family's children benefited from it.

Gui Ge'er stuck his head out of the carriage, looked behind, and whispered, "Brother Shan, Master Wang has become a lot darker and thinner. Haha, it seems he's been suffering these days."

Mr. Wang was the general manager of the workshop, so since Sun Shan wanted to check it out, he naturally had to follow.

After finally returning from Aojiawan, we had to set off before we even had time to sit down.

The atmosphere around Mr. Wang was low and filled with resentment.

Sun Shan said happily, "It's good to be thinner. Master Wang's belly has dropped a bit, and he's healthier now."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

The carriage moved forward rapidly, and Sun Shan and his group finally arrived at Da Niao Village.

The village was deserted, with only some elderly men and women and young children left.

Sun Shan found an old man and asked, "Old man, where is the village chief?"

When the old man saw Sun Shan, he hurried to bow.

Sun Shan held him down and said with a smile, "Please stand up."

The old man said excitedly: "Sir, you are here? I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Okay, everything is fine. How are you, too?"

The old man continued excitedly: "Well, the old farmer is doing well, much better than before."

Then he told Sun Shan, "The village chief and his men are repairing the road at Aojiawan and won't be back until dark. Are you looking for the village chief? I'll take you there."

After saying this, he walked forward shakily, holding on to his crutches.

This frightened Sun Shan so much that his heart started pounding.

Oh, uncle, you think you are in good health, but that is just your opinion. Actually, you are not in good health at all.

If you can't even walk steadily, wouldn't it be a sin to let you lead the way?

Sun Shan asked Gui Ge'er to immediately hold down the hospitable old man and go to Aojiawan by himself.

Sun Shan was walking on the path when he asked Master Wang, "Master Wang, is this road difficult to repair?"

You don't need to look to know that the road has not been repaired at all.

The road you are walking on at this moment is also part of the project. It is the same as before.

Mr. Wang complained, "My Lord, building a road in the mountains is difficult to begin with. The mountain behind Da Niao Village is even more difficult. Apart from the villagers of Da Niao Village, few people walk on that mountain. It's going to be very difficult to build a road."

Sun Shan nodded and said in self-reflection, "Alas, my lack of experience led to a misjudgment. I didn't expect road construction to be so much more difficult than I imagined."

Mr. Wang quickly said soothingly, "Sir, don't say that. We've never built a road this big before, so it's normal to underestimate it. There's still time. Please hire more people to ensure that the road is repaired by next spring plowing."

Sun Shan and Mr. Wang walked for a long time and finally arrived at Aojiawan.

Then I saw houses built one after another between the valleys.

Sun Shan glanced at Master Wang approvingly. "Master Wang, thank you for your hard work. This workshop was built so quickly. I admire you."

This is the truth. I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be so efficient and build a good-sized factory out of nothing.

Although it was simple, Sun Shan was surprised that it was completed in such a short time.

Mr. Wang was secretly pleased with himself, but he pretended to be modest and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. This matter is not worth mentioning. I am very happy to be able to do this for you, Your Excellency."

After praising each other, the two looked around the workshop.

Mr. Wang explained, "The house over here is for the workers. The house over here is a large warehouse where the bird droppings are stored. The one with air leaking everywhere is the fermentation tank. We don't have enough now, so we need to dig a few more. This is the room where we store the materials."

He introduced Sun Shan as he walked.

Then he said, "Let's do it like this now, and then slowly expand it later. My lord, I believe our guano will sell well. Not only can the people of Yuanlu use it, but the people of the entire Chenzhou Prefecture can use it too."

As for the people of Daqian using it, this is a fantasy and unrealistic.

The target market of the guano workshop is probably Chenzhou Prefecture. If it is too far away, even if there is guano, the transportation cost will be extremely high, and it will not be possible to go further.

Sun Shan said happily, "Master Wang is right. We can expand the workshop while producing guano. We can take our time. There's no rush."

After inspecting the guano workshop, Sun Shan continued walking forward to see how the road construction was going.

There is a bend in the road from the bird droppings pit to Aojia, but the road has been built.

Mr. Wang explained: "The road from the workshop to the guano pit should be repaired first, so that the guano can be transported to the workshop first."

Guano can be quickly transported to the foot of the mountain via a flying cable, and then manually transported from the foot of the mountain to the workshop.

In this way, production can be carried out while roads are being built.

Sun Shan nodded and said, "County Magistrate Wang, this is a good arrangement. It makes the most sense."

This time, County Magistrate Wang did not come to Da Niao Village with Sun Shan. Perhaps he was too tired and wanted to be lazy.

After such a comparison, Master Wang is far superior to County Magistrate Wang. At least when it comes to enduring hardships, Master Wang can endure them.

When Sun Shan reached the bottom of the mountain, Liu the clerk immediately put down his things and hurried over to greet him. "Sir, when did you get here? I apologize for not welcoming you in person."

Sun Shan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be polite. Working is the most important thing."

Sun Shan looked at the top of the mountain and saw several hemp ropes pulled down and workers were building a flying rope.

The cableway and workshop projects were much faster than the road construction projects.

Liu the engineer is indeed quite capable and does a good job.
