Chapter 1709 was suppressed
If the Huo and Mei families refused, she would not call them again, but the IOUs in the hands of the other families added up to nearly two hundred thousand!
If Mrs. Shao hit her in the face, of course she would hit back.
I don't believe that they can afford it this time.
Two families refused in their hearts, but they did not dare to refuse in public.
Which of these families didn't understand the temper of the old lady of the Fan family? If they dared to refuse, they would definitely be hated by the old lady Fan, and it would be difficult for them in the future.
They simply went together, complained about their problems, and asked the government to pay back the money.
This time, Qiao Xuan was too lazy to ask someone to tell Shao Yunduan to discuss it, so she just asked them for the IOU directly.
Instead, it made the other party dumbfounded.
Qiao Xuan burst out laughing and joked, "Since you guys are here to collect the debt, why don't you even bring the IOU? I guess you forgot. I'll be waiting for you. Go back and get it now!"
These words made them feel extremely embarrassed.
They were unsure whether Qiao Xuan was really paying back the money or not, but at this point, they naturally could not back down.
I went home and got the IOU.
There were two hundred and thirty thousand taels in total. Qiao Xuan counted out the notes one by one, ten thousand taels each. Twenty-three notes in total, neatly arranged without any delay!
Several people were stunned!
Instead of feeling happy when holding the banknote, I felt guilty for no reason.
The debt collector has finally arrived, but I am in this mood. It's really rare to see!
When leaving the state government office, several people's steps were a little unsteady...
Old Mrs. Fan was so angry!
She felt like she was slapped in the face again!
"How is this possible! How is this possible! How can the Shao family come up with so much money!"
Together with their family's, they had 310,000 taels, ready-made silver notes, instead of having to sell their property.
Even for the Fan family, it is not an easy task to come up with 310,000 taels of silver at once.
Old Mrs. Fan couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she decided to go all out and forced her two sons to go to the Mei family and the Huo family separately and ask them to put pressure on Shao Yunduan as well.
The three families were of the same origin and had always been one. For so many years, they had always advanced and retreated together. Now that Lord Shao had come, he had the wild idea of opposing the three families. Now that he had embarrassed the Fan family and deliberately suppressed the Fan family, could the other two families just run away?
If they don't help the Fan family regain their face today, wouldn't that be exactly what Master Shao wants? Master Shao probably wants the three families to be at odds.
He just defeated them one by one!
Now that he is suppressing the Fan family, isn't it intentional and for the other two families to see?
What the Fan family said was not wrong.
No one knew what this new prefect was up to, and he had to confront three families as soon as he arrived.
He refused to give in on the seed issue, and the three companies were already in a passive position. If he was asked to give in on the debt issue, it would be hard to accept.
I'm afraid that Lord Shao expected that the Fan family would lobby the other two families. In other words, Lord Shao might have already prepared the silver they needed.
But it’s hard to say. After all, it’s hundreds of thousands of silver. Does he really have that much?
Since the three major families didn't give him seeds, he had to buy them himself.
Anze Prefecture has 17 towns under its jurisdiction, and each town has as many as eleven or twelve villages, and as few as six or seven.
Although there are not many paddy fields in Anze Prefecture, there are still quite a few, and the number of seeds needed is also extremely large.
Buying seeds costs a lot of money!
