Chapter 1199: County Magistrate Wang’s body is more honest than his brain, trying to absorb this luc
The bird droppings pit is located in the back mountain of Da Niao Village.
This so-called back mountain is actually composed of several continuous peaks.
The area behind the mountain also belongs to the Yuanlu area. The terrain there is relatively flat and there are several villages connected to it.
Da Niao Village is the village closest to the guano pit, no doubt about it.
The nearest village to Da Niao Village takes half a day's walk to reach.
No one knew how the ancestors of Da Niao Village ended up settling in such a remote place.
This ancestor was also a talented person, and he can be found in Shankara.
Da Niao Village is more than ten times more remote than Sunjia Village.
After all, Sunjia Village is surrounded by neighboring villages, so if the village is destroyed, they can run out to seek support.
For a village like Da Niao Village, it would take a whole day to go back and forth to seek help. The entire village has been destroyed beyond repair.
After walking for a long time, Sun Shan and his companions finally arrived at the original mountain peak.
When everyone looked down, a bird droppings pit as endless as the sea appeared before their eyes.
Even though he had seen it before, Sun Shan still felt extremely shocked and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Even Sun Shan was so excited, let alone the people who saw the bird droppings pit for the first time.
County Magistrate Wang didn't care about being rude. He tightly grasped Sun Shan's arm and screamed, "Sir, this, this is all bird droppings!"
Oh my god, there is so much bird droppings in the world? Did all the birds in the world come here to poop?
Oh my God, if County Magistrate Wang hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there would be so much bird droppings.
No wonder the second brother came back from the trip and was obsessed with doing the bird droppings business with Sun Shan.
Wu Zhubo was so surprised that he was speechless. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the bird droppings pit motionlessly.
If the Sun Shan in front of him wasn't real, he wouldn't have believed that there was such bird droppings in the world.
Wu Zhubo suddenly began to stutter and said, "Sir, is this... guano pit too big? Is it all guano underneath? Is it possible that it is just... guano on the surface, and there are rocks similar to guano underneath?"
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, Wu Zhubo still didn't dare to believe it. He would not be convinced unless the entire guano pit was dug out.
Wu Zhubo naturally participated in the guano business, so when he saw so much guano, he felt that his life seemed to have changed.
Liang, who usually has little presence, couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you digging guano from here to develop guano fertilizer? Sir, is the guano in your experimental field the same as the one in front of you?"
It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but that he doesn’t dare to believe it.
Looking at the vast ocean of bird droppings is the most bizarre sight I have ever seen in my life.
How come it wasn't discovered before? Why did Lord Sun discover it as soon as he arrived?
On the contrary, Deng Jiaoyu, who came along to join in the fun, was much calmer than the others.
He sighed and said: "There are many strange things in the world. I can see something strange today. I can say that my life is not in vain."
There are many bizarre things recorded in the book. When Teacher Deng saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but believe the other things recorded in the book.
The scholars following Teacher Deng were so surprised that they were speechless.
I had regretted coming along to watch the fun, but now that I had seen the most bizarre sight in my life, any regrets had long since disappeared.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, life is worth it if you can see such a strange sight.
The villagers of Da Niao Village couldn't help but roll their eyes when they saw a group of high-ranking officials from the city looking so stunned.
What's so strange about this? They have known about the bird droppings on the back mountain of Da Niao Village since they were young.
Humph, many of them have seen mountain ghosts. That kind of thing is scary.
Alas, city people are like this, they have long hair and are ignorant.
No wonder people say that city people can’t tell the difference between rice seedlings and weeds.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Everyone, you see, this bird droppings pit is huge, isn't it? This is a great treasure of our Yuanlu County. As long as we make good use of it, Yuanlu County may become the richest county in Chenzhou Prefecture."
Living off the mountain or living off the water is not as good as living off the resources.
Places with abundant resources are often relatively wealthy. If there are mountains of gold and silver but someone is still in extreme poverty, it must be due to the incompetence of those in power.
Sun Shan wanted to be a capable official and help the local people get out of poverty and become rich.
It won't be enough just by his efforts; the entire county government team must work together.
The official who came to inspect the bird droppings pit this time was the person with the most say in Yuanlu County.
Sun Shan hopes to work with them to build Yuanlu County well.
County Magistrate Wang and others looked at the vast bird droppings pit, and their eyes couldn't help but see flashes of silver and gold ingots.
The stinky bird droppings under your feet are a treasure. If you sell them well, they can be sold for a very long time.
Even if they only have a 1% stake in the silver, facing so much bird droppings, it would still be a huge fortune.
Those who can become officials are not fools. They naturally understand that Sun Shan is bringing them unparalleled wealth.
No wonder when they bought the shares, Sun Shan hinted to them not to say anything and to keep it a secret from their superiors for the time being.
Of course, that's not what they said. What they said was that guano fertilizer is not yet mature and must be promoted step by step. Only after it is confirmed that guano can really increase crop yields will they report to their superiors.
If we simply conduct an experiment and then take credit for it, what if the second experiment fails? Who will take the responsibility?
When everyone in the meeting room heard this, they immediately dared not report it privately.
What if, as Sun Shan said, using bird droppings in spring farming next year does not increase production or even reduces production?
The issue of food is a matter of great importance to the country. Who can take up the responsibility?
So everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about the bird droppings.
If you want to say something, let Sun Shan say it.
He was in charge of the whole thing, so he should be held responsible.
Now standing in the guano pit, the officials who have been immersed in officialdom for many years can't help but feel confused.
I think Sun Shan’s failure to report to his superiors is not just because he is afraid of taking responsibility, but more because of greed.
With such a huge fortune, who would want those above them to have a share of it?
Haha, only a fool would tell that.
Daqian stipulates that the discovery of important controlled resources such as iron mines, gold mines, silver mines, and salt mines must be reported to the court and private development is not allowed.
However, there is no regulation that requires the discovery of guano mines to be reported.
This is not a strategic resource.
There is no law that states that guano is a controlled resource.
Haha, it’s not wrong that they don’t report it.
Everyone looked at the guano pit with sparkling eyes, then turned to Sun Shan.
Haha, Lord Sun is really kind enough to take them with him to make money.
Very good, very good. When encountering problems in the future, I must cooperate with Lord Sun. He is the real provider of food and clothing.
County Magistrate Wang spied on Sun Shan again and immediately thought of how he had failed the imperial examinations, the provincial examinations, and the metropolitan examinations, all of which had him ranked last.
My father and my second brother both said that Sun Shan had extraordinary luck and was a strange person.
It seems true now.
The Wang family has lived in Yuanlu for countless generations since the genealogical records began, and no one is more indigenous than them.
As a result, such a large guano mine has never been discovered.
Sun Shan had only been there for a short time when he was discovered.
Emma, this luck is full of mystery.
County Magistrate Wang’s body was more honest than his brain. He involuntarily moved closer to Sun Shan, trying to absorb this luck.
