Sixty million bags of grain, even at one silver qian per bag, would amount to an enormous sum of sixty million gold. This was the most generous offer that Clerk Ye could put forward, but Cui Dayou still seemed dissatisfied.
"It seems Brother Ye shows no real sincerity," Cui Dayou stated coolly, "I believe, given the Ye Family's status in Da Lin, even if their granary is not sufficiently stocked, the major families of Da Lin would be willing to provide for them, and the price would not exceed twelve gold per bag. But the price you offer me, Brother Ye, is twenty gold per bag, and the margin I'm left with is only one silver qian. Let's not even discuss this business."
Saying so, Steward Cui was about to turn around and leave, which startled Clerk Ye so much that he hastily tried to stop him, saying, "Brother Cui, calm down, please calm down!"
