Xia Chiwan knew that for people like Gou Liu, it was useless to rely on threats alone, or a stick and a date approach would be more effective.
"A hundred taels of silver?"
When Gou Liu heard about one hundred taels of silver, his eyes flashed green. One hundred taels of silver, no one in this village has ever seen so much silver in his life.
Even if you raise a beautiful daughter and sell her for ten taels of silver, she is considered extremely beautiful.
Of course, one hundred taels of silver was such a big temptation for Gou Liu.
"After you have these one hundred taels, you can be a small landowner when you come back here. There is nothing wrong with it. Then you can find a beautiful wife, and your life will be much better than now."
Seeing that Gou Liu put away the cruelty in his eyes and showed greed, Xia Chiwan knew that Gou Liu must have been tempted.
Ying'er said that in a village like this, an acre of good land is only worth three taels, let alone other fields.
The same thing needs to be doubled or tripled at least when taken outside.
Therefore, with these one hundred taels of silver, Gou Liu could buy ten acres of fertile land for thirty taels.
There are still seventy taels left. Gou Liu spends it how he wants to spend it. Whether he continues to buy land or builds a big house is completely up to Gou Liu.
Gou Liu is a smart person, so he naturally knows how important these one hundred taels are in the village.
"Is this true?"
Gou Liu asked somewhat uneasily, because just by looking at Xia Chiwan's appearance, he didn't think that Xia Chiwan was a woman who could earn a hundred taels of silver in one go.
"This ring is made of gold, and the surface of the ring is made of fine jade. This ring alone is worth no less than ten taels of silver. I will give it to you first and treat it as a deposit. When you send it to me
After arriving at the place, I will naturally offer the other ninety taels with both hands."
Xia Chiwan took out a gold ring and handed it to Gou Liu.
Gou Liu's eyes flashed, he put the gold ring in his mouth and took a bite. He immediately realized that the gold ring was real.
As long as this ring is genuine and worth ten taels of silver, then Gou Liu will not suffer any loss if he sends Xia Chiwan and her son to the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Not to mention, in addition to this gold ring, there are still ninety taels available.
"Okay, deal!"
Gou Liu is a smart man, but now that his life is in Xia Chiwan's hands, Xia Chiwan is still willing to pay such a high price to let Gou Liu protect him.
Gou Liu was not an unreasonable person. With these one hundred taels, he could buy as many beautiful wives as he wanted, and he could even buy a little girl to take care of her.
Thinking of this, Gou Liu naturally agreed immediately and was willing to send Xia Chiwan and her son back to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"I am a woman, and my steps are too slow, not to mention that I have a child in my arms. If you go rent a carriage, of course I will still pay for it."
Xia Chiwan took out another silver coin and handed it to Gou Liu. It was about two taels in weight.
The two gold ingots were buried under the big tree by Xia Chiwan, but Xia Chiwan took the two ten-tael silver ingots.
This twenty-two silver dime was forcibly made by Xia Chiwan from a silver ingot.
Moreover, Xia Chiwan still had a lot of broken silver and copper coins prepared by Ying'er, so Xia Chiwan didn't worry about not being able to spend the money he had.
Xia Chiwan gave the two taels of silver coins very easily.
