Madam's Visitor, a Golden Noble

The door was pushed open, and the visitor was none other than Uncle Fu.

He had come to report yesterday's gains.

There were three main gains: horses, silver, and ironware. Thirty horses, thirty-seven taels of silver, and eighty-one pieces of ironware.

There were also quite a few miscellaneous items such as clothes and ornaments. Converted into money, they were worth several hundred copper coins as well.

The haul could be called immense. Ordinary farmers spent all three hundred and sixty-five days of the year facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky, toiling their whole lives, yet might never see so much wealth.

No wonder there were always people who became bandits.

With this, Black River Village's food and clothing problem could temporarily be resolved. The surplus iron tools and weapons could be distributed, one to each person, further increasing their combat strength.

Li Xian calculated for a moment, then said:

"Uncle Fu, take the silver we gained and buy rice and grain. Replace the fishing nets with iron nets and iron shields. As for these thirty horses, I'll handle them."

One Accord Manor had farms, mulberry groves, livestock, trade, and many other industries under its name.

Madam rarely showed herself, yet she was an expert at management and business.

Everything was kept in perfect order.

To the southwest of the manor lay a horse farm, which was also Madam's property. Li Xian had patrolled there before, chatting a few times with the hands and steward of the horse farm until they recognized him.

He knew a little about the horse market.

Ordinary horses were worth around two taels of silver. Those of pure bloodlines could fetch a little more, but absolutely no more than five taels.

If they were exotic breeds, however, that was another matter entirely.
