He was particularly intrigued by the land acquired by Qiao Xuan.

It piqued his interest enough to warrant a closer inspection.

On this occasion, his visit was solely dedicated to delivering a shipment of rice seeds.

However, he planned to return in the future to supply Qiao Xuan with seeds for herbs and potatoes.

Over the years, through cultivation and Qiao Xuan’s modifications, the potato yield had surpassed the original expectations.

Consequently, potatoes gained popularity in Yuzhang.

Transporting sufficient seeds for Qiao Xuan was no longer a challenge.

Yuezheng Xiao’s arrival stirred memories of the past for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, making them yearn for their home in Shaoding Village.

Previously, the distance from Beijing had made such thoughts futile.

However, the proximity of Anze Province, only 500 miles away from Yuzhang, now offered a glimmer of hope.

Although the journey was arduous, it was manageable in just two to three days more than a standard trip.

Despite the relative ease of returning home, Qiao Xuan’s pregnancy posed a hurdle.

Shao Yunduan adamantly opposed her venturing out.

He consoled her, promising that once the child was born and grew, Anze Province would likely stabilize, allowing them to return together.

Following the purchase of rice seeds, Shao Yunduan recognized the need for careful planning to safely distribute them to the 17 towns.

He harbored suspicions that the three prominent families wouldn’t remain idle, prompting him to take precautionary measures.

While the seeds discreetly entered the city without raising any alarms, their presence would be impossible to conceal once they reached the warehouse.

All the families were shocked!

Lord Shao had really! done it?

Without relying on the three great clans!

For a moment, many families sent servants to wander around the warehouse.

Unauthorized individuals were strictly prohibited from approaching the government warehouse, a well-guarded area surrounded by a high wall.

The empty 50-meter perimeter served as a buffer, dissuading anyone from approaching without cause.

Nevertheless, resourceful families found their own ways to navigate restrictions.

While forbidden from direct access, they could linger at the edge, engaging in conversations with the bailiffs on duty.

Convinced that the seeds originated from Lord Shao, they anticipated the arrival of subsequent batches in the coming days.

That evening, the three great clans convened at the Fan Clan for a discussion, and the atmosphere was tense.

Old Lady Fan wore the ugliest expression, her dissatisfaction apparent.

Old Master Huo, appearing gentle and smiling, concealed inner turmoil.

First Old Master Mei, always stern and cold, remained unreadable, but the prevailing mood was undeniably unpleasant.

Unable to contain her frustration, Old Lady Fan sneered, “Lord Shao is quite resourceful.

I never expected him to acquire such seeds.

But merely placing them in the warehouse is not enough.

He claims there will be second and third batches.

Do any of you believe him?”

“Heh, I don’t trust him.

Could this be a scam?” she added.

Old Master Huo sighed, “Well, it’s hard to say.

Lord Shao is not someone to be underestimated.”

Old Lady Fan dismissed him with a snort, “Old man Huo, this is about bolstering others’ morale while diminishing your own prestige.

The solution is simple: destroy this batch of seeds, and everything will be fine!”

Old Master Huo and Old Master Mei exchanged frowns, contemplating whether Old Lady Fan had lost her senses.
