Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Chuan looked at everyone, his tone resolute, “We can plant rice.”

After hearing this, there was a stunned silence from the crowd. After a moment of quiet, they started discussing amongst themselves again, “Rice can’t be grown! Have you forgotten how poor the harvest was last autumn? This is a waste of effort!”

Someone retorted, “Right, in my whole life, I’ve never heard of rice not filling the husk! If not a single grain grows in the ear, it must be because our village’s land simply can’t grow rice! Let’s not delay our efforts.”

Jiang Chuan explained, “The poor rice harvest is due to lack of water…”

Someone immediately countered, “So are you saying that by next spring, when you plant the rice, there won’t be a water shortage?”

Jiang Chuan was momentarily unable to answer this question. Indeed, he couldn’t guarantee the solution to the water shortage, but there was one thing he was sure of—the water from the girl’s interspace realm could definitely make the rice grow strong!

With Lao Zheng leading the way, others also felt encouraged and began to express their support, until gradually, the meeting room was filled with voices of agreement.

He walked over to her and expressed his gratitude. “Captain Tian, thank you for helping me persuade the villagers today.”

Jiang Chuan sincerely showed his admiration, “Captain Tian, thank you for always considering the villagers. I believe with you leading Pushan Village, the villagers will have better lives. I apologize for any misunderstandings before.”

Tian Zao responded generously, “I’ve also had many misunderstandings about you and didn’t recognize your capabilities. I take this opportunity to apologize and hope that from now on, we can work together wholeheartedly for the betterment of our villagers.”

“Yes!” Jiang Chuan nodded earnestly..
