Zhu Family Master's heart stirred: "Then this business, indeed, could be considered."
Lu Family Head frowned: "With raw silk prices plummeting, wouldn't that cause the sericulture farmers to suffer losses? Could this trigger a peasant revolt?"
It was originally profitable to switch from rice to mulberry cultivation; if the Court pushes this matter resulting in a drastic fall in silk prices, then the sericulture farmers would inevitably be harmed.
Zhu Family Master sneered: "Exactly, that's why Zhang Tai'a must be made to hit his head and bleed to make him realize that nothing in this world is easy to handle."
Duke Wei stated: "If the Court meddles without understanding the local situation, there's nothing we can do. If something does happen, it just shows our usefulness, to avoid constant suspicion."
