I wonder about the price?

"Whatever I give to my people, you will receive the same amount."

In my Anping County, because Jianzhou Prefecture is not located by the sea, this salt costs one hundred coins per pound.

In addition, there is a local official in my county, so grain prices have not skyrocketed. Currently, coarse grains and noodles sell for eight coins per pound in the county.

Because I need to transport the goods from the county town to here by horse-drawn cart over several days, I charge an extra two coins per pound, which is ten coins.

"Now, two catties of salt and ten catties each of coarse grains and flour, you only need to give me four hundred coins."

Song Chongjin knew the pricing of official salt in various prefectures and counties.

He was deeply moved when Chi Yu gave them two catties of salt without charging them extra.

The price of rice and flour surprised them even more.

You should know that in their Mingyang County, after last year's torrential rains and strange winds, the price of grain had already risen to 20 wen per jin for coarse grains and flour, and 50 wen per jin for refined rice and flour.

After a blizzard, and coinciding with the Lunar New Year, the price of coarse grains and noodles rose to fifty coins per pound, while other items cost over a hundred coins.

Even so, there was still nowhere to buy that grain, even if you had the money.

After the earthquake, grain prices skyrocketed. When they escaped, even bran had risen to over a hundred coins per pound.

Even so, there's still nowhere to buy it. Many people, before they got sick, relied on digging for wild vegetables and picking tree leaves to survive.

However, now, Chi Yu is telling them that he will give them ten coins per pound of coarse grains and noodles, which makes them feel like they are getting something for free.

Of course, my resolve to stay here was strengthened.

They all knew that the reason why grain prices were still so low at this critical juncture was mostly due to the intervention of the government.

The people in this village also seem to genuinely want to help them.

Since it was inconvenient for them to go down the mountain, they naturally wanted to befriend others as much as possible.

Thinking about all this, Song Chongjin put four hundred coins on the ground and immediately handed over the money that everyone had pooled together to Chi Dongyi.

“Old man, this money is what we all gave you for burning down your mountain.”

As he spoke, knowing Chi Dongyi and the others' taboos, he also placed the pile of copper coins and silver scraps on the ground.

Chi Yu didn't intend to stay where she was. She bent down to pick up the broken silver from the ground and, while putting it in her sleeve pocket, put it directly into her spatial storage.

Then, turning to Chino, whose face was dark, he said, "Chino, go back and get two catties of salt and ten catties each of coarse grains and flour."

"good!"

As Chino spoke, he hurriedly ran down the mountain.

At this moment, Chi Qiao also realized that the second branch of the Zhong family was still in the village.

Immediately, she walked towards Huang Dani, saying to Chi Yu:

"Little Fish, your sister Wang is here. I'll go back with your second sister-in-law first to greet her."

Come back whenever you're done with your work here.

Chi Yu was anxious about Zhuangzhuang in the space. Upon hearing this, she immediately looked at Chi Dongyi.

"Uncle Chieftain, I've been out for so long, and Zhuangzhuang still doesn't know what's going on. I'm going back now."

"A-Ye will be bringing the grain and salt over later. Could you please settle the accounts with Brother Song in person for me?"

After saying this, as she prepared to leave, she was still a little afraid of making a mistake, so she spoke to Song Chongjin again:

"Brother Song, my brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship with the government."

If you can manage these people well, and you're sure no one is sick, perhaps we can openly settle here under the name of a village!

It can be said that, apart from Song Chongjin, there were some other people with active minds, but upon hearing Chi Yu's words, they all stopped thinking about it.

If, as this young woman said, they could settle down openly and honestly, that would be something they would be very happy about.

As for inappropriate thoughts, they're not stupid; how could they not distinguish what's important and what's not?
