"Alright, when I get back, I will go around asking for you." Lou Zheng happily agreed.
Lou Zheng was a man of action. He started going around questioning households that very night while he was in high spirits from drinking.
When the villagers heard that the Lin Family wanted to try planting rice in experimental fields, they became perplexed. Nobody could make a decision on the spot. Everyone said they would give Lou Zheng their answer the next day.
Lou Zheng cheerfully agreed, without pressuring anyone to decide.
After all, the land was the villagers' lifeline, and besides, the Lin Family had said that they were just experimenting, with no guarantee of a good harvest. So, who could possibly agree outright. Even though every family had some idle Silver available, if their fields didn't produce any income, they would still feel uneasy.
