When the item was brought back to the village, Liu He, who was knowledgeable, laughed and said, "This thing is at least a hundred years old. Take it to the county and don't sell it for less than 60 taels."
As soon as he said this, the entire village erupted in joy.
If it was really worth this much, each family would be able to get at least 900 copper coins from selling it. It had to be known that villagers in the countryside grew their own crops. They would wear their clothes until they became old and tattered, and even then they would mend the holes and continue wearing them. Then, the older ones would hand down the old clothes to the younger ones to be worn for another three years. Therefore, other than when they paid taxes, everyone wanted to exchange things for money. Most of the time, their families did not have any cash.
900 copper coins was an enormous sum of money to them.
