Chapter 1157 Jiang Taigong Fishing, Those Who Will Take the Bait Will

It was the first time that Sun Shan dealt with the masses so closely. He reflected on his behavior very badly and thought he must learn a lesson from it in the future.

In particular, you must maintain a cool and dignified image and not speak casually to the masses. Otherwise, the masses will take advantage of you and become disrespectful.

Sun Shan glanced at Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan and others.

Gui Ge'er was always keeping an eye on Sun Shan. Seeing Sun Shan looking at him, he asked in confusion, "Brother Shan, why are you looking at me?"

Could it be that he saw Shan Ge's embarrassed escape just now and wanted to kill him to silence him?

Thinking of this, Gui Ge shook his head repeatedly. He had seen all kinds of people like Shan Ge, so why would he kill someone to silence him?

Sun Shan asked calmly with a cold face, "Gui Ge'er, how are you learning Yuanlu dialect recently?"

He then looked at Sun Dingnan and the Sun family guards who stayed behind to farm the fields.

It is so difficult to find someone to help you. If they don’t speak Yuanlu dialect well, you have to force them to do physical training and run a hundred laps.

When everyone saw Sun Shan's look, they couldn't help but tremble as if they had come into contact with a cold poisonous snake.

He quickly looked away, afraid to meet Sun Shan's gaze.

When it comes to learning Yuanlu dialect, among so many people, only a few guards learned it. The best one turned out to be Sun Dalang, and people would laugh at him if they told others about it.

Not to mention comparing with Sun Shan and Master Zhang, I'm not even as good as Nanny Wang. It's really shameful.

Gui Ge'er blushed, lowered his head, and said ashamedly: "Brother Shan, I, I have been learning, but I just can't speak it."

Sun Dingnan also said: "Master, we have been studying too, but we just can't learn it no matter how hard we try. We don't know what to do."

Sun Dalang's ears turned red, and he whispered, "Master, I, I think we should get to know more locals, so that we can learn better."

Since Nanny Wang often went out, she knew quite a few vegetable vendors, and she became very familiar with them.

The same goes for Big Head Dog and Zhang's wife, Xia, who are much better than these guards who work behind closed doors.

Although I can't speak it very well, I can understand what the locals are saying by listening and guessing.

Sun Shan and Master Zhang, due to the needs of their work, chiseled a hole in the wall to steal light, used a bag of fireflies to reflect the snow, and studied day and night, but they were still inferior to Nanny Wang.

Dalang believes that only by going out and communicating with local people can one learn more.

Sun Shan agreed and said, "Da Lang is right. It is true that living with the locals will help you learn faster. In a few days, I will hire two locals to work with them in the experimental field. You two should get along well and talk more."

First of all, we can hire two free oral English teachers for them.

Secondly, it allows the locals to have a clearer understanding of how the experimental fields are cultivated, and to see clearly that they are not cheating and that they have indeed achieved a good harvest after using bird droppings.

It's like finding a promotional microphone.

Sun Shan and his party quickly returned to the yamen. Zhang Shiye hurried out and whispered, "Master, what is the reaction of the people? Are they all coming to buy our guano?"

All this effort is made just to let the people of Yuanlu know that using bird droppings can increase crop yields.

They can also increase their income by selling guano.

The ultimate goal is "political achievements".

How can you get promoted without achievements? How can you make more money without promotion?

Since the discovery of bird droppings and verification that they were useful, Master Zhang felt that his master's opportunity had come. He might even become a "capable official" and have the opportunity to go to the capital and catch the emperor's eye.

From then on, the Sun family changed their status and officially became a wealthy and powerful family.

As his lord's status changed, his master's status naturally rose as well, and he became rich together with his lord.

Sun Shan didn't know what to say. Although he had achieved his goal, he didn't perform well, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did you finish the plan I asked you to make?"

It is not enough to simply discover guano. You must know how to develop it, how to produce it, how to transport it, how to sell it, and how to make a profit.

Sun Shan wants to sell guano. It's easier said than done, but it requires careful planning.

Master Zhang used to be a pawnbroker and had been involved in many businesses. This time, selling bird droppings can be considered his old profession.

Master Zhang nodded, handed a plan to Sun Shan and said, "Master, the cost of making guano is actually quite high. Not only do we need to hire people to dig it, but we also need to hire people to make it, transport it, and find people to sell it. These are easier said than done."

He paused, frowned and said, "Master, the hills behind Da Niao Village are designated as government farmland, which also means that the bird droppings belong to the government. And the treasury of the government, alas, is not enough to do these things."

It is simply impossible for the government to take on everything because its strength does not allow it.

The warehouses in Yuanlu County were not filled with gold and silver, so there was no extra money to do this. So the start-up capital was a big problem.

Zhang Shiye continued, "Master, even if the government storehouse is sufficient, there is no way to take care of everything."

Then he whispered, "After today, I believe many people will be eyeing the bird droppings. If we really sell them, they will definitely want a piece of the pie. Master, we are alone. If they unite, it will be difficult to deal with us."

“They” of course refers to the local powerful and wealthy people.

The Wang family is particularly bad. If they really can't get any benefits, they will definitely resort to shady tactics behind the scenes.

It is difficult to accomplish something, but it is quite easy to ruin something.

Master Zhang added: "I believe the master has already thought of these issues."

If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn't have taken County Magistrate Wang out today.

Sun Shan clearly wanted to get County Magistrate Wang to "invest" so that everyone could cooperate well.

When Master Zhang saw Sun Shan nod, he said, "Not only the Wang family, but also other people with some power and money should be called over. Let them invest money to dig up the bird droppings. The more money they invest, the more they get. The less they invest, the less they get."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, the government is the boss, and this cannot be changed."

Then he added, "Master, you also have a share, because you discovered guano and knew that it can increase production. Even if you have a lot of money, it's useless if you don't use the good stuff. Master, this time it's all thanks to your broad knowledge that the guano can be sold for money. Master, you should take the lion's share."

Sun Shan's eyes lit up and he looked at Master Zhang with admiration.

Of course it has to be the big ones, which are called "technology stocks".

Without his technical input, no matter how good the project is, it will be a useless project.

Science and technology are primary productive forces.

Sun Shan’s technical investment should have accounted for the largest share, larger than that of the government office.

It's just that due to my status and social situation, I have no choice but to compromise.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Master Zhang is right!"

Zhang Shiye saw that he had touched Sun Shan's heart, and asked happily, "Master, when should we call them over to discuss this?"

They are the local tyrants who came to get a piece of the pie.

Sun Shan shook his head and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, don't worry. Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught. Let's wait patiently. Haha, this time we will cast a wide net and catch all the fish, big and small."

Sun Shan would not take the initiative to attack, but would wait for someone with ulterior motives to come to him.

After today, anyone with some ability will definitely see the "benefits" in it.

Haha, Sun Shan is waiting for them to come and visit.
