Chapter 1719 No More Hurry
The seeds were in the government warehouse, how to destroy them? Burn the warehouse?
There are yamen runners on duty patrolling outside. The wall is so high, is it really easy?
The yamen runners today are not the same as before. Now, they are all under the control of Lord Shao. Who dares to disobey his orders?
Besides, burning seeds is a great loss of virtue. What if there is retribution? Who would want to do that?
If we really take this step, then we will have a fight to the death with the government!
Most importantly, they felt that they were increasingly unable to figure out the details of this Lord Shao. Without knowing his background, who would dare to act rashly?
In the end, the three families could not reach a consensus. Mr. Huo and Mr. Mei did not agree with Mrs. Fan's idea. They both suggested to wait and see.
They are not enemies of Lord Shao. As long as Lord Shao does not want to cause chaos in the business community of Anze Prefecture, he will not give them any face.
Lord Shao was able to solve the seed issue by himself, which shows that Lord Shao is capable enough to have an equal dialogue with them.
So from now on, let’s all be more humble and accommodating and have a good conversation.
What's the big deal...
The Huo and Mei families had made up their minds and were calm and not anxious anymore.
It's not impossible for both sides to take a step back and have a bright future together.
This Lord Shao must be also seeking wealth and a way to make money, so just give it to him.
Just don't go too far, turn a blind eye and don't meddle in other people's business...
The Huo and Mei families were even discussing what gifts to prepare, and in a few days they would send the women in their families to visit the pregnant Mrs. Shao in the backyard of the provincial government office.
The Huo and Mei families disagreed, and Mrs. Fan had no choice but to wait and see.
With just their family, even if she really wanted to do something, it would not be that easy. If it was at the beginning, she might have looked down on Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan and thought she could do it herself.
But now, no matter how conceited and arrogant she was, she had to admit that the new prefect was not someone she could look down upon.
On the second and third day, all the seeds were in place.
The government warehouse has been extremely busy these past two days. All the seeds have been delivered, and each bag has been weighed, registered, and stored. The official documents have been drafted and issued. Once the provincial government has arranged the personnel, they will start delivering the seeds to the towns one by one, and then to the village heads in the towns, who will inform the village heads and notify the villages to implement the seed issue.
Every year when the seeds were delivered, a clerk was responsible for a town. If there was a problem in any town, that clerk would be held responsible.
People in other places might be easy to bully and dare not resist easily, but when it comes to spring plowing and food, no one will take it lightly.
If anyone dares to embezzle seeds and delay spring ploughing, the people will surely cause trouble.
Every year in this matter, even if someone is corrupt, they only dare to be corrupt in a small way, which does not affect the overall situation.
This year, Shao Yunduan specially summoned all the clerks to give them a good warning and issued a special document, which will be posted in each town. If any clerks or village heads dare to tamper with the spring seeds, the people can just go to the county government to file a complaint. Cases related to this will be strictly investigated as soon as possible to give everyone an explanation.
Once the truth is found out, no one will let it go!
The clerks nodded in agreement and said yes repeatedly.
