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

The rich businessman's words were so nice that even though Sun Shan was not happy about it, he still gave him a red envelope.

The wealthy businessmen put the red envelopes into their pockets with a smile.

Rich businessman A said happily, "I must accept the red ribbon given by the master. Haha, if I can get some of the master's good luck, I will have good fortune for the whole year."

Rich businessman B echoed: "Yes, the wedding money given by the adults is unique. I am very happy to receive it."

Rich businessman C continued to flatter him: "Your Excellency's wedding money, let alone receiving it, even if you see it, your luck will be as good as your Excellency's."

Each one was more exaggerated than the last. Sun Shan was delighted at first, but after hearing them too many times, he got bored.

If it wasn't the New Year, which was not the time to roll your eyes, Sun Shan would have wanted to just glare at him.

The three wealthy businessmen chatted with Sun Shandong about this and that, and Nanny Wang had already refilled the tea twice, but they still hadn't talked enough.

My butt was nailed to the chair, I couldn't move at all and couldn't get up.

Sun Shan picked up the teacup helplessly and was about to take a sip to quench his thirst.

Rich Merchant A quickly said, "Sir, I heard that the guano workshop is still busy during the New Year and they don't have a holiday, is that right?"

There is no gain without pain. How could the three wealthy businessmen simply wish Sun Shan a happy new year? Finally, they got to the topic.

Sun Shan nodded. "That's right. The workshop was built late in the first place. If we keep busy, we won't be able to finish it before the spring plowing season. What's the matter? Do you have any objections?"

The three wealthy businessmen shook their heads repeatedly: "Sir, we have no objections. Your decision is truly wise. With you watching over us, we can rest assured."

Sun Shan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart and prepared to continue drinking tea and drive the customer away.

When the wealthy businessman B saw it, he immediately said, "Sir, I wonder how much this bird droppings costs? Haha, we also want to buy some to take home." He asked about the price on the surface, but in fact he was inquiring about the price and spying on the operation of the workshop.

Sun Shan understood this. After all, the three wealthy businessmen also had shares and were small shareholders.

Asking this question is a way of showing concern for the company's operations.

Sun Shan spoke frankly, "Not yet. After the New Year, I'll discuss with those of you who have invested in the stock and ask for your opinions. We can figure out how to set the price so that ordinary people can afford it and we can make a lot of money."

Merchant C said without hesitation, "Sir, the price of this guano is definitely higher. We only have it here, no one else has it. I think Yuanlu County is the only place in Daqian that has it, so we can sell it at a higher price. Our guano is so useful, I'm sure everyone will not mind the price and will rush to buy it."

It is best to sell it as high as possible, this way you will definitely make a lot of money and have a fat pocket.

Of course, no matter how much they earn, because of their status, they invest very little in the shares, so even if they make a lot of money, the profit they can share is small.

The three wealthy businessmen wanted to become agents and make a fortune.

If you can become an agent for guano, you will definitely make more profit than from shares.

Merchant A finally revealed the ultimate purpose of his visit: "Sir, if the guano is produced, can you let us sell it? Haha, you said we have to pay the government before we can sell it. I wonder how much it is?"

Rich businessman B added, "Sir, if we pay, does that mean only we are allowed to sell the guano? If everyone else sells it, it will be hard to sell."

Merchant C then asked, "Sir, how much do you have to pay to sell it? We want to sell guano."

Sun Shan waved his hand and spoke frankly, "We'll talk about this later. We don't need help selling guano for this year's spring plowing. We can consider this issue once our guano workshop is on track."

Yuanlu County does not need an agent for the time being, and the village chief and the head of the neighborhood committee can be directly responsible.

The agents let them sell their products outside Yuanlu.

Firstly, there is a temporary shortage of bird droppings.

Secondly, the guano experiment had only been circulated within Yuanlu County and had not yet spread widely to the surrounding areas. Locals certainly did not believe that applying guano fertilizer could increase yields. Only after the people of Yuanlu had tried it and confirmed it would it be widely disseminated through word of mouth.

The three wealthy businessmen's desire to become agents was temporarily shattered.

Rich Businessman A pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not daring to.

Finally, they had no choice but to beg: "Sir, if there is enough guano, please let us sell it. We really want to help you sell the guano."

The two younger brothers, Rich Merchants B and C, echoed in agreement: "Yes, sir, you must let us sell it. We agreed long ago to help you sell the guano."

Sun Shan didn't say yes or no, but said ambiguously, "Don't worry. If we need help selling the guano, we'll let you know. Just be patient and don't worry."

This time, the teahouse in Sunshan Town drove away the customers, and the three wealthy businessmen also tactfully said goodbye.

After walking out of the yamen, I went to a remote corner.

Merchant A looked around and found no one. He whispered, "Second brother, third brother, we must hurry and look for a beautiful and strong woman for Lord Sun. There's no one of our kind around, and we can't find anyone even by whispering in their ears. What do you think we should do? Lord Sun is so indifferent, I'm afraid he won't look down on us."

Three wealthy businessmen came to Chenzhou Prefecture to sell goods. They looked for pretty women, but it was really hard to find a strong and pretty woman.

When they made this request, the dentist thought they were there to cause trouble.

The three wealthy businessmen felt very miserable. Why was Mr. Sun's hobby so unique that it was difficult to cater to his taste?

Rich Merchant B sighed repeatedly and said, "Brother, I don't think there's anything like this in Chenzhou Prefecture. It's a small place, where would you find such stuff? Sigh, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Changsha Prefecture to find it."

I have indeed been to Changsha Prefecture, but because I have been there, the long mountains and long rivers make me worried just thinking about it.

Generally speaking, who would go so far if there is no important business?

But Chenzhou Prefecture is too small and we can’t find it no matter how hard we look.

Rich Merchant C said dejectedly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, how about sending a maid or a servant to the master? Sending a strong woman is really too difficult."

It is easy to find servants and maids, but it is hard to find a unique beauty.

Rich Merchant A couldn't help but pat Rich Merchant C on the head and said speechlessly, "Do you think Lord Sun is a fool? Doesn't he have maids and servants at home? Why would we need to send them? Besides, maids and servants are useless. They can't even get close to him, let alone hear anything."

The three wealthy businessmen were at a loss for what to do.

Sun Shan had no idea that someone wanted to send him a strong woman but couldn't find one.

At this moment, we are receiving the fat scholar.

It was just that the fat scholar was just passing by to wish Sun Shan a happy new year, but actually he was wishing Sun Dali a happy new year.

Fatty Scholar always remembered the life-saving favor, so he became good friends with Sun Dali.

Sun Shan gave Fatty a fake smile and gave him a red envelope, feeling bitter inside.

I'm giving Sun Dali a New Year's greeting, but he has to pay for the red envelope. What's wrong with this world? It's so unfair.

The fat scholar exchanged a few words with Sun Shan, then began to chat with Sun Dali about various matters. From time to time, they could hear bursts of laughter. To outsiders, it looked as if the fat scholar and Sun Dali had known each other for a long time, regardless of age.
