When I arrived at the front yard, the herbs had already been weighed.
"Shopkeeper, it has been weighed."
The medicine boy handed the notebook to Manager Han.
Shopkeeper Han took it and looked at it, then he used the abacus to move the beads "clacking", and quickly calculated the total price.
"Miss, the total is fifty taels and two hundred wen. Take a look and see if it's correct!"
Manager Han handed the notebook to Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun took it and looked at it. She remembered every item clearly. She did some mental calculations and found the numbers were all correct. "The numbers are all correct. Please give me four pieces of ten taels each and ten pieces of one tael each in change."
She just calculated that the Huo family had dug out a total of thirty-five taels and one hundred wen.
Manager Han took out four ingots of ten taels of silver from the drawer, as well as ten pieces of silver worth one tael each, and counted out two hundred copper coins and gave them to Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun took it, took a ten-liang ingot and five pieces of silver per liang for herself, and gave the rest to Huo Jinqian.
The village head was excited when he saw Huo Jinqian took more than thirty taels. His own family had also dug up quite a bit, so it should be about thirty taels as well.
"Manager Han, please come with me."
She and the Huo family sold their herbs, but there were still some villagers left, so she invited Manager Han to the inn to buy herbs.
"Okay, lead the way, girl."
Manager Han took the medicine boy and the scale, got on the carriage and followed Gao Zhijun to Tongfu Inn.
Ever since Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian and the head of the village left, the villagers of Huojia Village have become restless and anxious, wondering whether they can sell the herbs.
The villagers waiting in the lobby stretched their necks and looked around on the road, and finally saw three carriages coming, driven by their village headman.
"Fellow villagers, Miss Gao and the village head are back!"
The villagers with sharp eyes saw it and immediately started shouting.
When the villagers heard this, they all ran to the gate to look out. When they saw the carriage, they all said excitedly, "It's really the head of the village! They are back, and there are two more carriages following them. We can sell our herbs now."
The carriage stopped, Huo Jinqian got off and helped Gao Zhijun out.
Manager Han got out of another carriage and walked into the lobby.
Gao Zhijun pointed at Shopkeeper Han and said to the villagers, "This is the shopkeeper of Renshoutang. He wants all your herbs. The prices are fair, so everyone can rest assured.
I have sold mine too. Ask the village head to help you sell the herbs. He knows the prices.
I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first."
"Miss Gao, go and have a rest. You are here."
When the villagers heard Gao Zhijun say she was tired, they asked her to go back and rest.
She helped everyone find sellers to sell the herbs, and they were all very grateful.
Gao Zhijun went upstairs, followed by Huo Jinqian. He was going to give the silver to his grandparents and then go downstairs to help the villagers sell herbs.
Gao Zhijun returned to her room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Huo Jinqian went upstairs and called his uncle, aunt, parents, third uncle, and third aunt to his grandparents' room. He took out 1,100 taels of silver notes, 30 taels of silver, and 200 copper coins.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the banknotes and silver on the stage. There was so much silver, they had never seen so much silver in their lives.
Huo Jin immediately decided to divide the 1,000 taels of silver into three parts, with each family taking 300 taels, and the remaining 100 taels going to Huo Jin and Zhang Chan. The remaining 100 taels and 35 taels would be used as food for everyone until they settled down and could eat separately.
Before the change of the 1,000 taels of silver was made, it was given to Hawking for safekeeping.
After the distribution, Huo Jinqian went downstairs to help the villagers sell herbs.
The village head took the shopkeeper Han to the big shop to sell herbal medicine.
After Huo Jinqian joined, he was responsible for recording weight and price.
The villagers dug many herbs that Gao Zhijun had not found, and Manager Han also gave them a reasonable price.
An hour later, the villagers finally sold all the herbs. Manager Han paid them the money and took the herbs back to Renshoutang.
The villagers looked at the silver in their hands with smiles on their faces. The herbs they dug were more than what they could earn from digging for food in the fields.
Some villagers, with large families and large quantities of herbs, sold them for 42 taels and 20 wen. Tiedan's family, with the smallest population, sold them for 18 taels and 50 wen. The village headman sold them for 31 taels and 600 wen, much to the delight of his wife.
With this money, everyone's hope was finally realized. They were all very grateful to Gao Zhijun.
Huo Jinqian went upstairs, opened the door to Gao Zhili's room, walked to the bed, looked at the sleeping Gao Zhijun, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
Gao Zhijun woke up when Huo Jinqian entered the room. She heard footsteps and recognized it was Huo Jinqian. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt a big hand touching her face. She was shocked and didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear of being embarrassed by everyone seeing her.
The villagers of Huojia Village in the inn were all smiling, but the villagers in the greenhouse outside were miserable.
Not only is the greenhouse crowded, it also leaks.
The officers and soldiers were distributing porridge, and the refugees could only queue up in the rain. When they returned to the greenhouse, the porridge had already been soaked with rainwater, making it taste even less tasty.
Tong and the others regretted even more that they did not follow them into the provincial capital and suffered here.
When they went to the officers and soldiers to ask them to let them in, they were driven back to the greenhouse with swords and knives.
Zhuang and her family were not having a good time either. The greenhouse was leaking everywhere and they had no place to live.
When Zhuang was carrying the porridge in the rain, she caught a cold.
Sun Fusheng and his friends were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.
