When Jia Heming heard this, he agreed and went to negotiate with the other party in high spirits.
"In summary," he declared, "everything has to be done according to the rules! You can decide who stays in the inn and who stays in the inn. We will decide what kind of inn to stay in."
Hearing this, Constable Li's face darkened on the spot. He angrily accused Anze Province of being stingy.
Jia Heming simply replied, "No money."
The commotion attracted Grandmaster Miao's attention, who intervened with a smile. "Your Anze Province has had a great harvest in the past few years. You don't have any bandits, and you haven't paid taxes to the national treasury. Your business is developing quite well, so how can you not have money? Why don't you ask Lord Shao again, Deputy Prefect Jia?"
