Only Zhu Youxiao knew that before chemical fertilizers were invented, guano was the ultimate fertilizer gifted to mankind. Several countries became wealthy thanks to guano, making a fortune without even having to do anything.
Why has land become the source of wealth? This has caused mergers to never stop in history, and it has also been productive and continuous.
If output increases significantly, it also means a significant increase in wealth. And guano can play an extremely important role, so do you think it is worth money?
Everyone has different thinking and perspectives, so it is no wonder that some of the emperor's ideas and actions seem strange and incomprehensible.
Inside the inn, Tang Mo and Xia Zhongshi were also discussing, and they had a general direction for the future development of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Xia Zhongshi's eyes flashed, and he smiled to himself, saying, "If it were seven or eight years ago, I would have given it a try. But now—"
"I still have this thought." Tang Mo reached out and nodded at Xia Zhongshi, saying, "But I think it's safer to wait and see. The Chamber of Commerce has the right to submit a petition, so perhaps you can use this to get the attention of the emperor."
