The clerk's eyes widened; he thought at most there would be copper coins inside, and never expected it to be silver.
He glanced at the boxes still being unloaded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Yun Jiao, "Dare I ask, National Lady, are those remaining boxes all silver too?"
Yun Jiao shook her head, "Not entirely."
The clerk let out a sigh of relief. As expected, there should be some silk, cotton, and the like. If it were all silver, how much would that be?
"Some boxes contain gold," Yun Jiao thoughtfully added.
The clerk's legs went weak.
The surrounding villagers fell silent.
But only for a moment, before they erupted in excitement, "My heavens, with so many boxes, how much gold and silver must there be inside?"
"Isn't this donating the entire family fortune?"
"Doctor Gu is truly generous!"
Yun Jiao smiled at everyone, "This silver is the salary of our Ducal Lord and Lord Chief Minister over the past ten years."
