Chapter 336: Greenhouse (4)_1
"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.
Especially since every villager was aware that the Lin family was going to need a lot more places to grow beans in the future. No matter how many beans were planted, the Lin family could absorb all of them, and the yield was high in the Northern Land. With these things to consider, the villagers were even more unsure.
During training the next day, villagers kept questioning Lin Changshu and the others about the situation.
Even though Zige and Wu Dayou were newlyweds, they both weren’t idle. They didn’t skip training on their second morning after the wedding. As members of the Lin Family, they too were questioned by the villagers.
Wu Dayou didn’t understand the situation very well, so when pressed for answers, he just redirected them to Lin Ziyin.
"I just want to experiment too, but it’s not like I’m not confident at all. I would say there’s about 70% chance of success. However, whether or not plants are grown is up to you, as it’s not my responsibility." Lin Ziyin explained, "No matter the outcome, you can’t blame me."
"Ziyin, our family’s in. All five acres of our paddy fields can be planted." Bai Chunsheng was the first to step forward.
