"Village chief, this might not be feasible, right?"
"Yeah! This is too risky, maybe we should wait another month or two!"
"Planting twice in a year is something we've never heard of, who knows if it will impact next year's harvest?"
"Yes, we actually have no reason to take risks for those outsiders!"
...
As expected, the villagers were quite opposed to harvesting the rice fields early.
Even with the experience from the past three years, they all knew the seeds provided by Li Boyang were truly high-quality.
Harvesting a little earlier could indeed allow for a second planting before winter arrives.
But on one hand, there is a desire for stability, and on the other, their understanding of the soil's fertility...
The villagers were unsure if planting twice in one year would severely affect the soil's fertility, or even disrupt next year's planting plans.
