Chapter 61: Thieves Shouting to Catch Thieves

Isn't that ten jin of gold?

The price of modern gold is 70 times that of silver. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the price of gold was more than 10 times that of silver.

Although the weight differs from modern times, one jin of gold is roughly equivalent to 200,000 yuan in today's currency.

So, ten jin of gold is at least. . . 2 million!

Moreover, this is in ancient times, without inflation. With such purchasing power, not to mention buying a small shop, even acquiring a large restaurant, buying a mansion, and hiring several servants to serve, one could live a comfortable life without doing anything.

Isn't this the life she has always dreamed of?

After enduring so many hardships, I can finally taste the thrill of overnight wealth. Cheng Songer shed tears of gratitude.

Seeing her silence, Liu Huan thought she found it insufficient.

After all, as a merchant who specializes in scavenging during famine years, a mere ten jin of gold is definitely not appealing to her. But she can't sell all her gold, otherwise, once the famine is over, what will she use to establish her industry?

So, she gritted her teeth and said, "Although it's only ten jin, I don't need much grain. Give me 100 jin."

Cheng Songer pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll give you 100 jin, but I'll deliver it in batches. There are too many refugees in your village. If I bring in too much grain at once, it might be looted before it even reaches the village."

Liu Huan nodded, "I understand."

Too much grain attracts envy. It was because of this that she ended up in a situation where her family was destroyed.

If discovered, even if this merchant is not robbed while transporting the grain, she won't be able to protect herself.

"Alright, prepare everything. Tomorrow, I'll deliver the grain to you," Cheng Songer said, making an agreement with Liu Huan before leaving.

As she was leaving, she glanced at Liu Huan.

After Lin Yuxiu encountered difficulties at the Liu family, she believed that all of the Liu family's property had been looted and had no value, so she decisively abandoned it and returned to her mother's home.

However, she didn't know that the old ginger is still spicy, and Liu Huan still had hidden assets.

Since she was able to exchange ten jin of gold for food, it means that she definitely had more than ten jin on her. I wonder if Lin Yuxiu will regret knowing this.

But these are not the problems she should worry about. What she is most worried about now is how to safely deliver dozens of jin of food to Liu Huan without being noticed by the refugees in Liu's village.

First: 100 jin of food is not a small amount, it is very conspicuous, and can be easily seen through. Once it is discovered, it will be robbed. The most terrifying thing is if someone recognizes her and traces it back to her, they will find all the hidden food in her house.

Second: If she reduces the amount of food transported, it will be very dangerous to transport it bit by bit like ants moving house.

She is not a resident of Liu's village and frequently comes and goes, which makes it easy for people to notice her.

Just as she was thinking about how to secretly transport the food, she suddenly felt someone bump into her back. She stumbled and ran forward, followed by a second, third, fourth. . . they were all running towards the same direction.
