Chapter 540 Sympathy for the Li Family's Child_1

After Old Zhou left, Zhulan examined the account books closely. The Li family was indeed trustworthy, with every single amount of silver clearly recorded in the thick volumes. Since Magistrate Dong was a relative by marriage of the Zhou family and Zhou Shuren was the Prefect of Jinzhou, their estates had never been troubled.

This year, back in Dongbei, the old heavens had not troubled the farmers, and while the harvest of Zhulan's two estates could not be considered a bumper crop, it was still pretty good. After deducting taxes and the Li family's share, as well as transportation costs, the sale of the grain yielded eight hundred taels of silver.

Because plenty of grain was left behind to be transported, otherwise the income would have been greater.

With that sum of silver coin entered into the accounts, although it was not the largest, it did give Zhulan a lot of peace of mind. At least the silver for the New Year's gifts was assured.
