Chapter 1703 Rejection
Farming requires timely farming. The most feared thing is when the temperature is too high and the weather is too hot, the planted seedlings will lose water severely and the survival rate will be too low. But these problems are not a problem for Qiao Xuan at all.
Her special ability is more than enough to take care of tens of thousands of acres of plants.
The couple were busy with their own careers, which made others dazzled and confused.
In the eyes of the public, the prefect was busy reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land to become a local landlord, while at the same time handling government affairs vigorously and ruthlessly, and was unwilling to give others any advantage. No matter how you look at it, it was incongruous...
When Jia Heming visited the three major families, without exception, none of them agreed to provide rice seeds according to the conditions proposed by Shao Yunduan.
The more amiable ones, such as the Huo family, first tried to test the governor, but found that he was too stubborn and stubborn, so they said that they were too busy at home and didn't have any extra rice seeds, so they were afraid that they couldn't help him and they were really sorry...
Not so polite, for example, in the Fan family, old lady Fan directly ridiculed Jia Heming and scolded him out of the Fan family's door.
The Mei family also had a cold attitude and also refused.
Jia Heming made several trips back and forth to pass messages between Shao Yunduan and the three major families. After a lot of bargaining, the two sides still parted unhappily in the end.
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Fan already had a bad impression of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, and now her impression of them has become even worse.
She ordered her eldest son to contact the other two families, and the three families gathered at Fan's house to discuss countermeasures.
Old Lady Fan's face was full of disdain and ridicule. "It seems that our prefect is really crazy about money and has set his sights on us. Ha!"
The old man of the Huo family smiled and said nothing.
The eldest master of the Mei family sneered: "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This Lord Shao is a little different from the previous Lords!"
Old Madam Fan laughed, "Young people, you are so reckless because you have never experienced anything. We are all elders, and we should teach the young people so that they know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! We will not interfere in this matter, and we will not allow other families to interfere, let alone lend him money. Let's see what he can do! What do you think?"
The Fan family had 150,000 acres of fertile land registered with the government, but in reality it had 200,000 acres.
With so many fertile fields, the taxes that need to be paid every year are a considerable sum. Shao Yunduan's current meaning is that the Fan family will need to pay this money starting this year. How can Old Mrs. Fan not be angry?
The Fan family earns so much grain every year, and most of it is sold as commodities. With the help of the government, the grain is not only sold very smoothly, but also at a price that the Fan family is very satisfied with. Even if they give a little benefit to the government, it is still a great way for the Fan family to make a lot of money.
However, the new prefect wanted to collect taxes exactly as they were supposed to be collected, so it was naturally impossible for him to give the Fan family any convenience when they sold grain.
If this is true, the loss to the Fan family will be too great!
Although logically speaking, what the Fan family did before was clearly against the law and was an illegal act of collusion between officials and businessmen, now Shao Yunduan is just asking them to give up their privileges.
But they have enjoyed privileges for so many years that they have long taken them for granted.
Now that Shao Yunduan wants to deprive them of their privileges, it would be tantamount to infringing upon their rightful rights and interests. Of course they won't do it!
