413, the share of silver
Xia Ning took Huo Xiang and Camellia to sort out the things left behind by this group of villains.
Two large bags of coarse grains, half a bag of glutinous rice called fine grains, half a bag of old pumpkin, a basket of dried pickles, a can of coarse salt, a small can of soybean oil, and then a notched iron pot, a kettle, and some bowls, chopsticks, and vegetable bowls.
In addition, there were seven bags of various sizes, three and a half quilts, which were supposed to have been snatched from the refugees.
This was all the supplies for the eight thugs, and these things were all carried by two scholars and a few thugs in a backpack, because the snow was difficult to walk, and the group of them all relied on foot without any means of transportation.
Of course, these gangs of thugs must have robbed more than this, Song Shaoqin also found a lot of silver coins on their bodies, adding up to a total of two hundred and twenty-five taels of silver, plus two silver bracelets and a gold pendant, which is probably worth twenty or thirty taels of silver.
Although this money does not sound like a lot, you must know that these gangs are only robbing the residents of the town, how much savings can they have? Can they collect more than 200 pieces of silver, and I don't know how many innocent families they shot and killed?
Today's Xia Ning is not a novice who has just crossed that meeting, through this period of life, she has already understood the prices of this era.
One tael of silver is consistent money, and it is also equivalent to one thousand copper coins, while one hundred wen is equal to one tael of silver, and five hundred wen is equal to half a tael of silver.
The price in Dongchu can buy a steamed bun for one penny, you can eat a vegetarian bun for two pennies, and the coarse grain ranges from about ten or twenty yuan, so you can imagine how great the purchasing power of one or two silver is.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, more than 200 pieces of silver is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
"You take a look first, if there is any baggage of your own, if there is, take it yourself, and I will distribute the rest."
Xia Ning pointed to a small pile of baggage and motioned to everyone, she and Song Shaoqin couldn't look at this thing, the materials in their porcelain basin space were abundant, and secondly, these things were used by others, and they would not accept them due to personal hygiene problems.
Even if they don't want any of this money, they give it all to them.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is that there are three young children among them, a girl and two boys, the youngest boy is just over three years old, and the other boy and a girl are only seven or eight years old, and they don't have much impression and knowledge of their household registration at all.
According to the accounts of their companions, the seven-year-old girl named Liu Yaya, whose parents had died in the turmoil, and the other two children appeared to have separated families.
But in this vast sea of people, the ancient information is very closed, how to help them find their families? In the end, after discussion, I had to ask the people who returned to their hometowns to help inquire.
If you are lucky enough to meet the children's families, tell them the child's address, and the rest is left to fate.
"Thank you, miss."
Hearing this, everyone was grateful, but they didn't expect to get back their own baggage in the end, although it was not worth anything, but it was also their only belongings.
But not all of them carried the baggage, and most of them escaped in a panic, even if they had the baggage to pack, or they lost it when they encountered the villain.
So, in the end, only a few people stepped forward to get their baggage back.
Xia Ning continued, "I won't divide the food stuff, everyone has to eat on the way, and there are three burdens here, you can look through the rummags to see if there are any useful things, let's share them."
As for the silver, I will divide it according to the head, and there are seventeen of you, and two hundred and twenty-five taels and seven dollars will be divided evenly, and each of you will get more than thirteen taels and forty-one cents, and these money will be the capital of your future settlement and life, and I hope you can make good use of it. ”
Finally, she looked at the crowd and confirmed, "Do you have any objections to such a distribution?" ”
“.” Everyone was surprised, and suddenly there was a feeling of being hit by surprise.
Thirteen taels of silver!
These people are ordinary families in the town, and as women, they don't have so much silver in their hands since they were young.
How could they not be surprised and excited that each of them now had so much money, all of which belonged to them and could be at their disposal?
"Miss, you took action to deal with those villains, and even the lives of our people were saved by you, how can we accept these money? This should be yours. ”
One of the young women suddenly spoke, her attitude was very sincere and calm, if it weren't for the two benefactors, she would not even have died, where would she have the face to accept this money again?
"Yes, yes, we can't ask for it."
"It should belong to the two benefactors."
"Without you, we wouldn't have survived."
The young woman's words instantly awakened everyone's mixed thoughts, and everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed, and immediately discarded the distractions in their hearts.
They were really dazzled by the silver for a while.
It was because of the two benefactors that they were redeemed and their fate was changed.
If it weren't for the two of them, there would be only one way to die when they died.
Even if there is a lot of silver, it should belong to the two benefactors, right, where did they have the qualifications to accept it?
"This is what you deserve, it can be regarded as compensation for everyone's mental loss, you don't have to refuse, we don't lack this money, but you, and then settle down and buy a house is indispensable for money."
There are also two silver bracelets and gold pendants here, which are worth about twenty or thirty taels, and we won't ask for them, I plan to exchange these gold and silver jewelry for money and give them to Huo Xiang and a few girls, I arrange it this way, can you accept it? ”
Xia Ning paid attention to everyone's expressions, she believed that the meaning of her words was not expressed, and they should all understand, because among this group, there were five women who had lost their innocence, two young daughters-in-law, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls to be married, and one fourteen-year-old girl.
It's not that other people are lucky, but that the gang of villains want to keep the innocent girl and sell as much money as possible, so they don't touch the others for the time being, if they wander on the road for a long time, then it's impossible to say.
Therefore, it can be said that Huo Xiang and the others have prevented disasters for others, and they have endured several times more than others, so naturally, they should also compensate more.
Although there are a few children who are still young and do not have their families around, their share must not be missing, after all, it will take a long time for them to grow up, and it is indispensable to spend money during this period.
