If the beautiful prospect merely stirred some interest in the Lizheng.
What truly moved him was what Song Chongjin said: If the tea plants could indeed be successfully transplanted, when the tea from Qilidun matured, Wang Yongzhu would naturally find a way to sell it.
If the quality of the tea was good and it became famous, Qilidun would also gain renown.
The Lizheng would then have considerable credit, and he might even be remembered in the county annals.
In the future, when people talked about it, his family would be considered prestigious. Most importantly, this kind of fame would be a great help if his son wanted to pursue the imperial examination route.
This point alone made the Lizheng seriously consider it.
His family was no longer lacking in food and clothing, and he was the Lizheng, respected in Qilidun. Though his words weren't absolute, few would oppose him.
For a typical country man to achieve this level, he would be content.
