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

After sending Wang Ganhua back home, Sun Shan invited County Magistrate Wang and Household Affairs Office official Qiao Wenshu in.

Sun Shan pointed to the account book and said, "Use the Yellow Book to check how many acres of guano fertilizer each town has purchased. Let's see which places have purchased it and which places haven't."

If they bought too much, just let it go. If there is not enough, you have to go to the site in person to check why so few were purchased.

Is it because of insufficient publicity or because people refuse to believe it?

If it is the former, the village head in charge must be severely criticized. If it is the latter, promotion and publicity must be carried out to brainwash the villagers.

Qiao Wenshu took the account book and nodded quickly in response: "Yes, sir."

Sun Shan emphasized again: "Before dark, I must see the result."

Qiao Wenshu took a look at the thick account book.

Damn it! It might not even be done in two days, let alone before nightfall. Lord Sun treats his employees like cattle and horses. No, he treats them worse than cattle and horses.

Sun Shan didn't care what Qiao Wenshu thought. Everything had to be done on time before the spring plowing.

If we delay a little here or there, it will be too late. There is no room for Qiao Wenshu to be lazy.

Qiao Wenshu wanted to talk about the difficulties, but suddenly he met Lord Sun's triangular eyes.

He immediately agreed: "Yes, sir, I will go now."

After saying that, he ran out without looking back.

Emma, ​​you have to run. If you run a step late, you will lose a quarter of an hour.

County Magistrate Wang saw Qiao Wenshu rushing around like a drowned rat in the rain.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Sir, how much guano fertilizer did the people buy? Did many people buy it, or few people?"

The Wang family sold everything except the hidden land.

Such a risky and radical approach was entirely insisted upon by Mr. Wang.

Old Master Wang, County Magistrate Wang would like to buy some to try it out, as this is the way to minimize the risk.

Who knew that Mr. Wang insisted on buying it, so they gave up.

The family's land and shops were all under the care of Mr. Wang. County Magistrate Wang also admired his second brother's business acumen. This time he vowed to make the business bigger and stronger, so he let him do it. Anyway, the Wang family could afford the loss.

Sun Shan stared at County Magistrate Wang closely and did not answer his question.

County Magistrate Wang was so confused by the stare that he asked, "Sir, why are you looking at me?"

Emma, ​​being stared at like that by Lord Sun in broad daylight gave me goosebumps.

Emma, ​​Lord Sun’s eyes are so ugly that I wish I could dig them out.

Sun Shan asked coldly, "County Magistrate Wang, you have a large family and a great business, so why are you selling guano fertilizer on credit?"

County Magistrate Wang asked innocently, "Sir, what do you mean by credit? How come I don't know?"

When did they buy things on credit? They were always generous when buying things, so how could they buy things on credit?

Sun Shan thought County Magistrate Wang was asking a question he already knew, so he snorted coldly, "County Magistrate Wang, you're buying fertilizer for your fields on credit, just like the common people. Are you broke, or what?"

We must apprehend County Magistrate Wang and force him to pay the money, otherwise the wealthy families will follow his example and do the same.

When it comes to buying fertilizer on credit, County Magistrate Wang really doesn't know. He doesn't care about these things.

Hearing Sun Shan's words, he instinctively retorted, "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. Do we buy fertilizer on credit?"

Then he was stunned, as if he thought of something.

Emma, ​​it is really possible to buy on credit.

My second brother is a person who loves to take advantage of others and will not pay if he can avoid it.

This time, the workshop allows you to try the product before paying. My second brother will see that there is a bargain to be had and will definitely follow behind to take advantage. No, he might even be the first to take advantage.

Before Sun Shan could ask further questions, County Magistrate Wang spoke first, "Sir, I don't know anything about buying on credit. I need to go back and ask."

Sun Shan glared at County Magistrate Wang with an unpleasant look, then waved his hand and said, "Just pay for the fertilizer. There's no need to worry about anything else."

County Magistrate Wang smiled awkwardly: "Yes, sir, I promise to pay the money."

After saying this, he dodged and ran back to the county magistrate's office at high speed.

Tell the lackeys around him to go home quickly so that Mr. Wang can pay.

County Magistrate Wang had learned his lesson. He would do whatever Sun Shan asked without hesitation. He followed Sun Shan's instructions without further ado.

Just go along with Sun Shan in these small matters, but when big things happen, things will definitely not go smoothly.

The lackey immediately agreed: "Master, I will go back now."

As night fell, Sun Shan sat in the yard, looking at the account book compiled by Qiao Wenshu.

Look, people always have to push themselves to know their own strength.

Qiao Wenshu kept saying he had too little time to sort it out. But look, what are these? A crystal-clear account book, finished in just one day.

It seems that Qiao Wenshu is too lazy on weekdays and needs some pressure to motivate him to work.

Sun Shan frowned and read through all the account books.

The registered land is half the land that has been used to purchase fertilizer.

That is to say, only half of the people in Yuanlu County use fertilizer, or only half of a household's land uses fertilizer.

It seems that the people of Yuanlu County are conservative and dare not be too aggressive.

Sun Dingnan asked worriedly, "Master, so few people use fertilizer, and our workshop produces a lot of fertilizer. I'm afraid half of it will be unsold in the warehouse this season."

Alas, I worked overtime to produce fertilizer, but only half of it was used. I don’t know if I can make a profit.

Sun Shan wasn't worried at all because he had anticipated this situation, and even worse. Being able to use half the fertilizer was already considered acceptable.

He consoled her, "Although our fertilizer is pay-later, it's not free after all, and it's a novelty, so it's normal for people to wait and see. If even half the people are using it, that's already pretty good. Don't worry, take your time. As long as the summer harvest is effective, I believe people will flock to it." He then added, "The fertilizer won't get moldy if stored in a warehouse, and the same applies to late rice."

Sun Shan remembered that in the area where he lived in his previous life, there was a farmer's family that planted a certain crop and made money. The farmers in the surrounding area followed suit and then the entire area followed suit.

It is indeed profitable in the beginning, but in the end it often returns to silence.

Profit-seeking will drive everyone to do something. If they see their neighbors having a bumper harvest and feeling upset because they didn't use it, they will often follow suit and use it.

Sun Shan was not worried about this problem at all.

Sun Shan said to Sun Dingnan, "There are several villages here that don't use fertilizer at all. Find someone to take a look and try to persuade them. If they still don't use it, forget it."

It's fate, don't force it.

Sun Dingnan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go ask about it tomorrow. There's nothing going on at the fertilizer workshop right now, so we're just waiting to distribute the fertilizer to the various towns."

Then he asked, "Master, are you going to arrange for the Sun family guards to teach the villagers how to use fertilizer?"

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Yes, we'll have our guards go to every town and personally teach the villagers how to use fertilizer. Thankfully, they've been doing our own planting and tilling, so they know how to use fertilizer."

Sun Dali said with a smile: "Master, from now on, when you do anything, let our people go first. That way, we can guarantee that they will do it well."
