Just the fine cloth made from medicinal materials alone was more than ten taels of silver.
Even though the doctor from the Hall of Healing could use his own silver to make up for it, it was only five taels of silver per month. However, it couldn't cover such a big hole, so he could only say helplessly, "The two of you will need at least forty taels of silver to go up and down."
The lightly wounded hunter took a deep breath, coughing as he almost burst open the wound.
Gu Mingyan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Where do you all live?"
"I live in the small street. I still have my wife and children." The slightly injured hunter lowered his head in distress and looked at his wounds with a pained expression.
Fortunately, their hunters only returned a few days ago, and those of the Hall of Reparations could not find their families, so they had not informed them of their whereabouts.
Another hunter was also lying on the bed, full of profanities. He was in a bad mood and looked like he was about to curse.
And the so-called small street was where only the poor family lived.
"You hunt for a living, how much do you earn per month?" Gu Danyan put down his cup and asked curiously.
"Dong Ri can make seven or eight taels of silver. Spring Day is at most five taels of silver."
He really couldn't afford it.
Furthermore, the wild beasts they beat up in the mountains were mostly for the restaurants to cook special dishes. If they fried them into an expensive dish, they would probably be able to sell a single dish for a few taels of silver, or even a dozen taels.
Gu Liuyan suddenly realized that there was a class problem in Sky Flame City. She had been there many times, but she had not noticed it.
Her eyes darkened as she said, "I'll pay for your money."
"Are you for real?"
"Just how much money do you have!?"
The two hunters cried out in alarm, and the one that was heavily injured was immediately pushed back by the doctor.
"Of course you didn't spend this money for nothing. After you've recovered from your injuries, go to the small street and ask around. See what they rely on to survive and how much they earn every month. When that's done, I'll give you two more silver." As Gu Liuyan spoke, he took out some silver from his money pocket and handed it over to the shop assistant beside him.
The shop assistant smiled and accepted the silver.
This Crown Princess Jing was always generous with her money.
The two hunters looked at each other and asked, "Why does the girl care?"
"Of course I'm doing it for you, those rich people only know how to exploit you, no wonder your little street can stay in the Heaven's Eye for so long." Gu Danyan rolled his eyes in an impolite manner.
She hadn't noticed it before.
Now that he thought about it, although the status of the people on this small street was not high, the value that could be created was not small. Regardless of whether it was the medicine farmers on the mountain or the hunters, they were both the first ones to harvest this fertile soil.
At the same time, these rich kids were living a good life with the money of the poor.
The people on the street believed that was how Sky Flame survived. After all, the poor were all gathered in one place, so no one could see what their superiors had done. Even if they saw Sky Flame being protected by the officials, no one would help.
"What do you mean?" The hunter was still puzzled.
Gu Danyan didn't have any plans to explain, he just continued: "No need to understand, I just need to know that I have money."
"You high and mighty people only know how to solve problems with silver. Pah!" The other heavily injured hunter got up from the bed, "What, are you thinking of another way to get more money from us? Don't think that I don't know, you all treat us like nothing."
The heavily injured man spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to get up.
A few doctors hurriedly pressed him back down. The slightly injured hunter did not know why he was so angry.
However, only Gu Daiyan said seriously: "You know why they are exploiting you, and why they can only be small hunters."
He was so talented, but in the end, he was treated like a thorn in his side by the high officials. When my wife and my sister-in-law came to the Sky Flame, I had no one to rely on, but he still lived on. Don't you know that those restaurants that collected our things will sell them off by dozens of times!
At this point, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was afraid that he couldn't continue to get angry.
Gu Danyan walked forward to stabilize his mind, pressed on his shoulder to help him rearrange the wound, then continued: "The golden age is always here, there will always be filth."
"You said your mother …"
"Shut up, this is your highness, the wangfei." The nearby doctor couldn't bear to listen any longer and hastily covered his mouth, afraid that he would offend this good-natured Crown Princess Jing again.
The two hunters suddenly opened their eyes wide.
"If you want to help yourself reverse the situation, then do as I say." Gu Danyan pressed against his chest helplessly. She listened to his heartbeat and said helplessly: "You guys asked around long ago, what can I do for you guys?"
The hunter's face stiffened: "What! Previously, the genius doctor invited by the Jing King toyed with the daughter of the old woman next door, causing her to lose her life.
Gu Liuyan was slightly stunned. She truly did not know about this matter, but she had heard of this matter from Duan Chengyu.
Gu Mingyan lowered her face and said in a deep voice, "Then don't count on me. I'll send a letter to you. After you investigate this matter, you'll secretly inform the Third Prince. If you reveal it, I won't be able to keep you alive."
After she finished speaking, she used the handkerchief to cover his mouth, and under the frightened gaze of another hunter, she carefully wrote a letter about the matters of the small street.
The hunter's eyes were bloodshot and he still wanted to struggle, but Gu Pingyan continued: "If you don't want to take a step forward with hatred in your eyes, then you people on the street are destined to be inferior. You'd better think about it."
Hearing this, the hunter stopped struggling and stared at Gu Daiyan, his mouth twitching.
Gu Liuyan pulled out the handkerchief.
"Motherf * cker, don't lie to me. Otherwise, even if I die, I'll burn your Jing King Manor to death." The hunter looked fierce.
Gu Liuyan nodded seriously and patted his shoulder: "Sure, I have no objections."
It wasn't easy to solve the problem of these two hunters. Gu Mingyan had wanted to find Wan Fang and ask her about it, but after thinking about her current location in the Third Prince's Estate, she decided against it.
When he returned to the medicine house, Duan Chengyu was sitting on a stone bench with a dark expression as he chattered something to the beautiful girl. Qi Lin was consoling him at the side and talking about something in a disorderly manner.
Gu Danyan felt helpless. They probably treated the medicine house as a public place and would come visit whenever they had something to do.
She walked in and Duan Chengyu looked over. He stood up and said, "Can I stay here for a while?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Daiyan did not understand.
"I don't want to see Litchi Bay." Duan Chengyu's face was gloomy. "I didn't expect that she and my mufei would have really done so many things. I only returned from Imperial Uncle's place and decided not to interact with them."
