Chapter 1149 Preventing the Theft of Guano

Sun Dingnan smiled and continued, "Master, the villagers finally came to ask. Hahaha. I have been waiting and waiting, until my neck grew long, and finally they asked. Hey, Master, their eyes almost turned red when they saw our ears of grain. Hahaha, I am so happy."

From the beginning of transplanting, the rice in the experimental field was different from the surrounding rice, but the difference was not that big.

Gradually, the rice grew better than the surrounding rice, especially when the rice started to ear and grew into grains, it looked even more unique.

Not to mention the people were excited, even the experimenters who were busy in the experimental fields were very excited.

Sun Dingnan was afraid that this was just an illusion, that the millet looked strong on the outside but was actually hollow, just like a diaphanous bamboo.

Sun Dingnan and others couldn't help but pull out one and bite it open to take a look.

Oh my god, it's full of pulp, proving that there is material inside.

When the millet gradually begins to mature, take another bite and you will still find berries inside.

In other words, their millet is not hollow, but has real flesh.

Sun Dingnan told Sun Shan the good news, but Sun Shan reacted indifferently. He just said "I know" and nothing happened afterwards.

It was as if the outcome of all this had been anticipated and was well-planned.

Sun Dingnan was stunned. He used to think that Sun Shan was smart, but that was proven by his good grades. He also became an official smoothly, which made Sunjia Village very powerful in the surrounding area, and they, the clansmen, also benefited from it.

At this moment, with the success of the rice experimental field, Sun Shan was not only smart in Sun Dingnan's eyes, but also a god descending from the mountain.

This is food, precious food, and indispensable food. The higher the rice yield, the less they will suffer from hunger. For thousands of years, no one in Sunjia Village did not want to harvest more rice from the fields.

And their Wenquxing simply increased grain production.

And from the moment he discovered the bird droppings, Wenquxing knew that grain production would definitely increase, and everything was under his control.

Is this the legendary “strategizing from behind the scenes”?

Sun Dingnan recalled that the villagers said that Sun Shan was born in Yezhu Hill and was a child captured by Doctor Sun because he felt sorry for Sun Bomin and Su.

By doing this, they had caught a Wenquxing for Sunjia Village.

No, the villagers were actually wrong. Doctor Sun did not catch Wenquxing, but the Emperor Shennong. Otherwise, how could he be so good at farming?

During the farming process, Sun Shan personally took part in the work and provided guidance. Even if they thought something was unreasonable, he insisted that they continue to do it.

For example, when applying fertilizer, Sun Shan paid special attention to fertilizing the land before farming, and the amount of fertilizer he provided was so much that they were stunned.

Sun Dingnan was really confused and wanted to tell Sun Shan: He was good at studying, but he might not be good at farming.

But officials are officials, and their official majesty forces them to do as they are asked.

As a result, Sun Shan was not only good at studying, but also good at farming.

Sun Dingnan really wanted Doctor Sun to enter his dreams tonight so that he could ask him whether they had captured a god for Sunjia Village at Wild Boar Hill, otherwise how could he be so powerful.

Sun Shan heard Sun Dingnan introduce how the people pestered them with questions, mainly to find out why the rice grew so well.

At first, the people did not dare to ask directly, so they beat around the bush and tried to get questions about the millet.

Later, I became really anxious and asked directly.

Sun Shan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this scene.

Sun Shan smiled and asked, "How did you answer? Did you tell them everything?"

Sun Dingnan nodded and said, "Master, yes. We say that the millet grows so well because we used bird droppings."

Sun Shan instructed that if anyone asked, he should speak frankly and there was no need to hide anything.

Their guano is unique, and even if we know why, we don’t have the raw material. If we want to earn more rice, we have to buy guano from them.

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Is there anyone keeping an eye on Big Bird Village?"

There have been miners and coal robbers since ancient times. Maybe when they hear about guano, someone will go and steal it.

In fact, they just steal, there is so much bird droppings, and limited manpower can't steal much. But we are afraid that they will act on their own and use the bird droppings on farmland without processing, which will result in no harvest, and it will hurt others and themselves in the end.

Sun Shan was short of manpower, so he temporarily hired the chief of Da Niao Village at a low price to help keep an eye out for anyone stealing bird droppings.

If it can be stopped, then stop it. If it cannot be stopped, then it shows the harm of using bird droppings directly.

Finally, the situation became serious, so I came to Yuanlu to report to them.

The chief of Da Niao Village repeatedly asked why someone would come to steal bird droppings, and Sun Dingnan directly ordered him not to ask so many questions.

In short, whether the Big Bird Village will eat porridge or bran in the future depends on whether the village chief is responsible and whether he can protect the bird droppings.

At this moment, the head of Da Niao Village already knew that Sun Shan was the magistrate of Yuanlu, their father and mother official, and also the legendary newly appointed magistrate who was tall and mighty, with a strong back and strong arms, and could wipe out hundreds of bandits at a time.

Moreover, the village chief was very reluctant to acknowledge the fact that Sun Shan was the county magistrate, which completely overturned his understanding of the county magistrate.

But in the end, he bowed his head and said that he would definitely protect the bird droppings on the back mountain well, so that the magistrate could rest assured.

Sun Dingnan said: "Master, the village chief has promised us that he will take good care of it."

He paused and added, "Besides, the Big Bird Village is so remote that even a thief with the guts to steal bird droppings would have to consider whether they can be found. In the past, if you tried to steal bird droppings, you couldn't steal much at a time, so the gain wouldn't be worth the loss."

Firstly, there is no road leading into the back mountain and vehicles cannot pass through. If you want to steal bird droppings, you can only carry them out one sack at a time, which is very laborious.

Secondly, even if they carried out the guano thieves one sack at a time, it would immediately attract the attention of the Big Bird Village. With everyone in the village rushing over, it would be difficult for the guano thieves to escape.

Then he thought of a very troublesome problem, and asked: "Master, if we want to sell guano, transportation is also a big problem. It is really difficult to travel there. What should we do?"

Sun Shan spread his hands and said helplessly: "What can we do? We have to build a road. After the autumn harvest, we will conscript people to build the road in Da Niao Village. The bird droppings must be used for farming next year."

There is still a lot of time until the next farming season, but whether the yield can keep up is a question.

The main reason is that the traffic is so terrible, so this year's corvée labor took everyone to Da Niao Village to repair the road.

When Sun Dingnan heard this, he said happily, "Master is very thoughtful. He thinks a hundred steps ahead before taking one step. No, he thinks a thousand steps ahead."

Gui Ge'er also said as a matter of course: "Of course, my brother Shan has always been smart. If he wasn't smart, he wouldn't have passed the imperial examination."

It's a pity that Shan Ge was born in the countryside. If he was born in a wealthy family, he would have been sure to get the top spot in the imperial examination.

It’s all because Uncle Min and Aunt Su are incompetent and have dragged down Brother Shan.
