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

Mr. Wang stood in front with a very upset look on his face, introducing the price of guano fertilizer to everyone.

Like Sun Shan, he also plays the role of trying hard to persuade the masses to buy fertilizer.

Who told him that he was not only the builder of the guano workshop but also the investor? If it weren't for his diverse industries, he would have to live and die with the guano workshop.

After Sun Shan finished speaking, Master Wang continued, "Everyone, one mu of land costs 600 wen, which is indeed a bit high. But don't worry, our magistrate has already thought about it for you. If you can't afford it now, it's okay, you can buy it on credit."

After he finished speaking, there was another uproar from the audience.

Regardless of whether they knew each other before or not, the teams based on towns couldn't help but start discussing.

Mr. Wang continued, "Don't worry. We can sell fertilizer on credit, and we don't charge interest. For example, if you buy 600 wen on credit, you can pay it back on the specified date after the harvest. It's still 600 wen, and we won't make a penny from you."

It was the first time that Mr. Wang made a loss in business, and he was very upset.

Lord Sun is really murderous. He even wants him to come up to preside over such a painful conference.

If possible, Mr. Wang would have wanted to just roll up his sleeves and run away.

Whoever wants to do this hosting job can do it, but I won’t do it!

As soon as these words fell, they caused another uproar.

Member A of a certain team’s first reaction was: “There is no such thing as a free lunch. I don’t believe in it and I don’t want a penny.”

He looks very experienced and has suffered a lot outside.

Member B next to us nodded repeatedly. "The free ones are often the most expensive. On the surface, we can buy on credit without interest. But when the time comes, they might find all sorts of excuses to ask us for interest. I don't believe the workshop is that good."

In his heart, he wanted to say that he didn't believe that Mr. Wang was such a good person. If he was a good person, he wouldn't occupy all walks of life and force people like them to survive in the cracks.

Humph, this Mr. Wang is a great villain.

Member C, the village chief, said innocently, "But the county magistrate is here too. With his testimony, it can't be fake, right?"

Sun Shan has been running Yuanlu County for a year. His reputation is neither good nor bad, but overall it is a little better than that of the previous county magistrate.

At least they were much more efficient in doing things at the county government office. Although the clerks still asked for money, they did their work without delay.

Member C, the village chief, had been to the yamen to do business and was keenly aware of the slightest changes in the yamen.

Member Ding shook his head and said, "Let's put the credit issue aside for now. The main question is whether the guano fertilizer is effective and whether it can double the yield on the land as Master Sun said."

Lord Sun just said that using guano fertilizer can not only increase production, but also improve the land bit by bit. Even barren land can become less barren and can produce a few more buckets of rice.

The foundation of the world lies in agriculture. Only when there is more food can the people not suffer from hunger.

Not to mention making money, it is already a great blessing for the people to have food to eat during the lean period.

If guano fertilizer really worked, it would save countless lives.

Speaking of the effectiveness of fertilizer, member Wu, who witnessed the bumper harvest at the rice experimental field base, was absolutely certain: "This old man, fertilizer really works. I was in the county town at the time and saw Mr. Sun harvesting rice with my own eyes. I witnessed the whole process. Oh my god, those sacks of grain made my eyes light up."

Members of the "town" gathered together and discussed what Master Wang said.

How can one tell the truth from the lie in such a short time?

Mr. Wang didn't mind and continued to release the bombshell news. He held his head high and said arrogantly, "Everyone, the workshop not only allows credit, but also does not charge interest. And..."

He paused, and after noticing everyone looking at him expectantly, he continued, "And if the fertilizer is ineffective and fails to increase rice production in the fields, our workshop won't charge you a penny."

Everyone looked at Mr. Wang in confusion. What did it mean that he didn't charge a penny?

Makes people confused.

Mr. Wang continued to explain, "Didn't I just say that? We'll charge 600 wen per mu of land on credit. After the rice is harvested, you can simply pay back the 600 wen on the designated date. This is based on the premise that our fertilizer is effective and increases grain production. If our fertilizer is ineffective and grain production doesn't increase, we'll just give it away and you won't have to pay back the 600 wen."

Mr. Wang twitched the corner of his mouth. Only Lord Sun could come up with such a unique recipe.

Lord Sun is the only one in the world who likes to do business for free.

Mr. Wang said with a forced smile, "Everyone, to put it simply, the fertilizer will be free for everyone to use first. If it works well, you will be paid for it. If it doesn't, you don't need to pay."

Although Mr. Wang was one of the first people to firmly believe that guano fertilizer was effective, he still retained a trace of uncertainty.

I don’t know who gave Sun Shan the courage to be so confident that bird droppings fertilizer would definitely be effective.

Sun Shan was helpless. In order to encourage people to use guano fertilizer and make use of it, he had to learn the shopping method of certain platforms, trying it first and paying only when they were satisfied.

He also wanted to recover the cost of building the workshop as soon as possible, but the people of Yuanlu were not supportive.

Not only was I skeptical about his fertilizer, but I was also too poor to afford it.

We can only adopt the model of supplying goods first and then collecting payment.

As long as the people's fields can produce more grain, there is no need to worry about them escaping from their debts.

As soon as the words came out, the audience was stunned again.

Why does it feel like a pie in the sky? Is this how business works?

It is very common to receive the goods first and pay later, and I have experienced this on a daily basis.

But you can receive the goods first, and then not pay if you are not satisfied after use. This is the first time I have heard of this.

What’s the difference between this and eating a free meal?

The second-rate guys and gangsters on the street are just like this. After eating, they find some unfounded excuses and refuse to pay, which not only makes the store work for nothing but also makes the store feel upset.

Now the workshop allows them to eat and dine openly, isn't this too outrageous?

The village chief of Big Bird Village, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but say, "Sir, this is unacceptable. How can we use bird droppings as fertilizer and then not pay for it if we're not satisfied? This is absolutely unacceptable. The workshop has to make a profit too. How can we keep it going if we give it away for free?"

My Lord, guano fertilizer is such a good thing, how could it be useless? Don't give it away for free, or you'll lose everything."

As a fan and spy of Sun Shan, the village chief was extremely anxious and would never let Lord Sun suffer any loss.

He immediately plucked up the courage to speak out his ideas, trying to stop Sun Shan from taking unrealistic actions.

Moreover, the quality of the guano workshop is also related to the livelihoods of the villagers in Da Niao Village, and the workshop cannot be allowed to suffer losses.

Everyone looked at the village chief who was wearing coarse clothes, coarse cloth and coarse shoes.

I really want to ask who this old farmer is and why he is sitting in the first row, standing out from the crowd.

That is a seat that only the dignitaries of Yuanlu County can sit in.

What did the old farmer do to be able to sit there?

Many people who want to make progress really want to ask for advice and also want to be at the center of power.
