Yan Dashan was also in a dilemma. If he chose this, some mothers and daughters would inevitably be separated. If he didn't choose this, he would have to replace the women with children with those without, which he felt was a bit unbearable. "You, you decide."
Chun Xiao looked at the steward again and said, "Steward, look at them. They are only about six or seven years old. There is no use for you to keep them. Why don't you give them to me?"
The manager laughed and cried, "That won't do. These are all collected silver. You can't use them. There are many places that specialize in buying small ones like these and take them back to train them. They are easy to sell. If you don't want the small ones, you can just pick the big ones."
When Chun Xiao heard the word "training", she immediately thought of something bad. She looked at the pitiful children who were looking at her eagerly and said, "How about this, Boss? There are 14 children here. How about I buy 10 more from you and you give them all to me? Is that okay?"
"I know you're kindhearted and can't bear to separate them. How about this? If you buy 10 more, I'll give you three assemblies. You can't let me lose money, right?"
Chun Xiao gritted her teeth and asked, "How much do you want for the remaining five?"
The manager smiled and said, "I'll give you 5 taels each. How about 25 taels?"
"20 taels, if you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it
The steward clapped his hands and said, "Okay, 20 taels is 20 taels. Let's do the math. 18 men, 92 women, and 14 children, that's a total of 862 taels."
"Don't count it as 862 taels, manager. How about making it 860 taels?"
"Miss, that won't work. You said before that you would come to bring people tomorrow. Their daily rations will cost two taels of silver. How can that be possible?"
"How about this? I won't reduce your silver. I'll give you another three taels of silver. How about you arrange more than ten ox carts to help me send them to Luokou Town tomorrow?"
The steward's face began to look sad again. "Miss, last time we sent people over, our people traveled for a whole day and a whole night, and they were all complaining when they came back. Now you're sending us over again, with many more people than last time."
"You can leave earlier this time. You don't have to send me to my farm. You can send me to the town gate and we'll pick me up ourselves. How about that? Manager, I'm doing business for over a hundred people, so don't be stingy."
The steward finally sighed, "Okay, then we'll set off at 11:00 AM. Remember to pick us up."
The next step was to sign the indenture, pay the money, and go through the paperwork. By the time this whole process was complete, it was already evening time for dinner.
