The refined young man in a white robe went to the Martial Hall's treasury first to exchange his contributions for gold coins.
Because he had improved many martial arts techniques, Tang Luo still had a lot of contributions left over after exchanging for techniques. He first exchanged them for five hundred gold coins to test the waters.
As the universal currency in Longzhou, gold coins played an important role and their purchasing power was quite strong.
For an ordinary family, having fifty gold coins a month means leading a pretty good life, with meat in every meal.
A job that earns more than a hundred gold coins a month would be considered a high-paying profession in ordinary households. Five hundred gold coins are equivalent to more than half a year's income for an average family, after all, one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, and a bag of rice weighing forty pounds costs only fifty to sixty copper coins.
