章 60: Benefits

When the item was brought back to the village, Liu He, who was knowledgeable, laughed and said, "This thing is at least a hundred years old. Take it to the county and don't sell it for less than 60 taels."

If it was really worth this much, each family would be able to get at least 900 copper coins from selling it. It had to be known that villagers in the countryside grew their own crops. They would wear their clothes until they became old and tattered, and even then they would mend the holes and continue wearing them.

Most of the time, their families did not have any cash.

900 copper coins was an enormous sum of money to them.
