Chapter 1086 Guano Country
When Gui Ge'er used his hoe to dig up the ground, he found a large piece of bird droppings. When he used his hoe to dig up the ground again, he also found a large piece of bird droppings.
Sun Shan observed carefully. After two diggings with the hoe, he still couldn't see the bottom. Perhaps this so-called big pit was very deep.
After years of accumulation, the depth of the pit has become larger and the width has become wider. I don’t know how many years have passed before the pit in front of us appeared.
Gui Ge'er continued to dig a big hole, and Sun Dingnan, Sun Heitan and his gang also followed suit.
They also didn't know why Sun Shan dug the guano pit, but Wenquxing's ideas were always different from those of ordinary people.
If I were like them, I would not be able to pass the imperial examination and I would not be the smartest man in Sunjia Village in the past hundred years.
Wang Jiaxing covered his nose and asked in confusion, "Master, why are you digging up bird droppings? Are you going to do what the village chief did and dig it up to dam the fields?"
Human feces can fertilize fields, and bird droppings should be able to do the same.
However, the village chief had already dug up the bird droppings here, but the seedlings were burned to death, proving that the bird droppings could not be used as fertilizer.
Wang Jiaxing was really curious about what Sun Shan wanted the bird droppings for.
Especially the fiery eyes just now that emitted a blazing flame that burned them beyond description.
These bird droppings must have a great effect.
After these days of getting along, Lord Sun looks short, thin and weak, and seems unreliable, but in fact he is very reliable in doing things.
Especially for the knowledge related to the imperial examination, after a little reminder, I suddenly understood what I didn’t understand before.
Wang Jiaxing's eyes moved around and he stared at Sun Shan quietly, trying to see something.
I must tell my uncle about this when I get back, and pool our wisdom to guess together what Lord Sun is going to do.
Sun Shan didn't even look at Wang Jiaxing. He waved his hand and said, "Don't talk. Dig hard. You have to dig to the bottom."
Sun Shan wanted to know how deep the bird droppings pit was.
Of course, the deeper the better, so that Yuanlu County can prosper for a longer period of time.
Guano is a non-renewable resource. Once it is dug up, it is gone. So we must dig it sparingly, dig it reasonably, and use it in a planned way.
Besides, if they dig a hole here, the birds probably won't come here to continue shitting.
Humans have already invaded their territory, so why would they come?
There used to be a small island country called "Nauru" in the South Pacific. Because it was surrounded by vast ocean and lacked land, Nauru, as one of the few lands in the ocean, became the main habitat for seabirds.
When seabirds rest on the island, they leave behind a lot of guano.
After thousands of years of accumulation, Nauru has become a "guano" country.
These bird droppings contain a large amount of phosphate layers, which can be used as raw materials for agricultural fertilizers, industrial raw materials, food preservatives, medicines, feed, etc.
Because of its "guano", Nauru has become one of the richest countries in the world, and people live a very wealthy life.
The people of Nauru live a wonderful life enjoying the sea breeze, sea view, luxury cars, steak and champagne.
The good times did not last long. With disorderly development and depletion of resources, when the "guano" was mined out, the country of Nauru and its people went from being rich overnight to being poor overnight, and returned to their old hard life.
Sun Shan looked at the bird droppings in the big pit in front of him and realized that he had to plan how to use them.
Use the bird droppings for primitive accumulation, let the people of Yuanlu live a good life first, and then use the money obtained to develop other businesses.
There is not only one way to make money, you have to try many different ways.
Yuanlu was a poor place today, but now that this treasure trove has been discovered, it will be carefully developed and managed. Part of the money earned will be given back to the people, and part will be retained for "capital investment."
Only by developing different businesses can Yuanlu continue to develop and live a good life. We must never follow the "short-sighted" path of Nauru.
Gui Ge'er was still digging bird droppings. After a long time, he still hadn't reached the bottom.
Gui Ge'er wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Brother Shan, this guano pit is not only big but also very deep. We have been digging for so long but still can't find the bottom."
Sun Dingnan spat. The smell was so stinky that he accidentally inhaled it into his brain and couldn't help spitting.
He looked at Sun Shan and said, "Master, I think this pit is quite deep."
What was dug out was not only bird droppings, but also some sand, gravel, decaying materials and the like.
It is unknown how long this guano pit has existed.
When the hired gunmen saw the adults digging bird droppings, they were overwhelmed by the stench. If they hadn't wanted to earn 20 copper coins, they would have run away long ago.
San Yazi covered his nose, spitted continuously, and asked curiously: "Master Sun, why do you want to dig a guano pit? Is there a treasure in it?"
Sun Shan smiled and said, "You will know later."
No one present needed to be explained, so Sun Shan had to come up with a detailed plan before he could develop the bird droppings.
When it comes to matters of interest, all kinds of monsters often emerge, and it becomes a headache to deal with them.
You have to think of a complete opportunity to embark on the path of "getting rich".
Sun Shan asked again: "Da Yazi, have you ever heard of when this bird droppings pit was built?"
Dayazi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My grandfather said that the bird droppings pit existed when his grandfather was alive."
As for whether my grandfather’s grandfather existed before him, no one knows.
Sun Shan thought about it and decided that when he returned to Da Niao Village, he would gather all the old men and women in their seventies and eighties to ask them about the history of the bird droppings pit. Then when he returned to the county government office, he would look for the county annals to see if there was any record of the bird droppings pit.
This kind of big pit can be considered a unique thing in the local area.
It’s just that the village chief Big Bird lives in the deep mountains and forests, and few outsiders have ever come here, so not many people probably know about this big pit.
Wang Jiaxing sat far away under a tree, observing Sun Shan quietly. He saw that Sun Shan sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled secretly, and occasionally showed a determined look.
Emma, what on earth is Lord Sun thinking? What is the use of these bird droppings?
Wang Jiaxing was itching to lift up Lord Sun's skull and see what was hidden inside.
Gui Ge'er and his group continued digging, and they didn't know how long they had been digging, but they still didn't reach the bottom.
Sun Heitan asked curiously, "Is this a bottomless pit? No matter how hard we dig, we can never get to the bottom. Oh, how much bird shit is there here?"
As we were talking, we saw a group of birds flying by not far away, then they landed on a big tree, and soon they left a row of bird droppings.
Everyone was stunned. This method of pulling can indeed pull a lot.
No wonder there is so much bird poop here.
When Xiao Yazi saw a bird coming, he said to his friends, "Let's catch the bird."
But before he could finish his words, the impatient Yazi took out his slingshot and started shooting birds.
Unfortunately, Yazi’s aim was not very accurate, and all the birds flew away before he could hit a single one.
The slingshot guys were so angry that they scolded the one holding the slingshot, saying that he was too impatient and shot without even looking.
He also said that if this continued, he would not be brought in next time.
