many, the Lord of the Prefect was not only engaged in farming but also seamlessly handling governmental affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uncompromising stance and refusal to let anyone take advantage of him appeared, to some, a deviation from the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Heming approached the three prominent families, seeking their agreement to supply rice seeds based on Shao
