Chapter 1699: This is a bad debt

The scribes were either silent, or they were all words that sounded righteous, but actually had no content, or they complimented and flattered Lord Zhizhou, saying that Lord Zhizhou was wise and martial, there must be a way, and they all listened to Lord Zhizhou... …

Checking the state treasury booklet again, there are no seeds. It only shows that this spring will spend money to buy from the three major families, and the three major families have promised to provide seeds to the government at the market price.

But this is only an official record, and none of the three major families has a brief contract description as evidence on file.

In other words, the three major families can go back and deny it at any time.

This matter alone shows how powerful the three major families are in Anze Prefecture, and it also shows how indifferent the previous Zhizhou was to this side's affairs.

Looking at the account book again, not only was there no money in the account, but it was clearly recorded one by one, and it owed a lot of money to the three major families and the other two families.

Shao Yunyun browsed roughly and found that each item of money was written clearly and in an upright manner, such as repairing bridges and paving roads, digging canals, providing relief to victims, and rebuilding after floods...

But this one thing can't help but check, and there is no way to check it clearly.

To put it bluntly, this is a bad deal.

It is the mess left by the former Zhizhou, even the former predecessor, the former predecessor and the former world!

After years of accumulation, the total arrears has reached more than 700,000 taels of silver.

If this is in the Jiangnan local tyrant state, it is nothing, but for Anzezhou, it is a huge sum of money that is almost unfinished.

Several big families have taken this into consideration. In this Anze Prefecture, they still don't want to do anything!

More than 700,000 taels, even if his wife can make money so much, she has only made more than one million taels now!

Looking at this ledger, Shao Yunyun's face darkened.

If he hadn't had the rich financial resources of his wife, he would be able to make a temporary turnaround just in case.

In the face of the three major families, he couldn't get tough at all.

If he owes money to others and wants to impress them, that's too much to say. He, the wise man of the state, don't try to convince him, and don't think he has any more authority and reputation.

Seeing this, the scribes exchanged glances secretly, not moving like a mountain.

This kind of situation, they have been accustomed to seeing the faces of the governors of the first session.

Anyway, the final result is the same, they will bow their heads to the three major families.

Spring ploughing cannot be delayed Seeds will soon have to be prepared and shipped to various towns. Villagers of each village will then bring their own land deeds and purchase them according to the number of acres in the land deed.

The seeds purchased from the government are guaranteed to be good seeds with a high germination rate. Second, the price will be very cheap. People’s livelihood is the first priority. Daqin has always done a good job in this regard. No local officials dare to The greed of ink on the rice and wheat seeds ploughed in spring and autumn will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and banishing them from official careers for three generations.

Too cheap.

Therefore, almost all Zhuang households buy seeds from the government.

In this way, the number of seeds needed is really a lot!

And at this time in Anzezhou's warehouse, there was not a single seed...

Faced with this situation, Rao was secretly prepared, and Shao Yunyun was very angry.

Naturally, this negotiation did not yield any results, and no one was willing to speak their minds.
