Chapter 346: I’ll Hire You!

Ye Xiao sighed and said, “Ning, even though you have to observe that… assassination ethics, you can always ask for help from your friends, right? Let’s assume that there are 20 thousand people and five thousand are crippled. Including residence, medicine, food, it should be no more than fifty thousand taels of silver per month. Am I right?”

Twenty thousand people, fifty thousand taels, that meant two and a half taels for one person. It didn’t sound expensive though. The price of commodities in the Land of Han-Yang wasn’t high. Normally, a family of four would need no more than ten taels per month. That was no more than three taels per person. Ye Xiao made it two and a half per person. It was more than enough for those people.

Ning Biluo was quiet for a while before he said, “Basically they were just like normal people, but many of them need special care. Some of them need medicines all year. The cost of the medicine is already huge. In fact, two hundred thousand would be just enough.”

“Two hundred thousand? Well it is not that much. Two hundred thousand per month; about three million a year and thirty million for ten years…” Ye Xiao coughed. He realized that it might not be a huge number for himself.

However, it was really quite a heavy burden for an assassin who killed for living. Ning Biluo also needed money for their cultivation…

It was truly too much of a burden for him!

To make it clearer, try to understand it this way. One tael of silver was equal to a thousand copperplates. One copperplate was more or less like one yuan, so one tael silver was equal to a thousand yuan. A hundred taels meant a hundred thousand yuan. Ten thousand taels meant ten million. Two hundred thousand taels per month meant two hundred million yuan every month!

That was the number to feed those people.

That was about three billion yuan per year.

Maybe he could make it for the first year, but what about ten years later?

Like Ning Biluo said, to carry on till death, how much was that? What a huge number would it be?

In fact, it was an unbearable burden, no matter it was on whom. For Ye Xiao, it might not be a big problem for him to spend dozens of million for now, maybe even billion would be nothing serious, but that was because he had just earned a lot from the auction.

Several months earlier when he was just reborn, he had worried about just dozens of taels. Times have truly changed!

“Ning, I can solve your problem. I have quite a lot of money right now…” Ye Xiao seriously said.

He really wanted to help him. Ning Biluo was a good man. Even if he couldn’t return the favor, Ye Xiao would be happy to do it. It was a good thing to do after all.

Ning Biluo was quiet again as he said, “Lord Ye, you saved my life twice. I cannot return the favor already. If you help me again, I truly cannot owe it anymore.

“A favor is always most difficult to return. I owe them a huge one already. Do you want me to owe more to you?”

Ning Biluo said with a smile, “I don’t think I can accept any help from others now. I would rather earn some money by myself.”
