Having news of Zhao Huai and Zhao Jiao was a good thing after all.
Zhao Shizhang said to the younger generation outside, "All of you, go back. Leave this matter to us."
Zhao Qizong added, "This sum of money needs to be shared among us. Since everyone is here, just hand it over to Zhao Hong according to the proportions we just agreed upon."
Zhao Chi did a simple calculation. For the two of them, the ransom was 1000 Gold Coins, and he needed to cover a 0.2 percent proportion. That came out to 2 Gold Coins.
At this moment, he heard some whispered complaints. Clearly, some were dissatisfied with having to pay.
Zhao Chi could understand. After all, even 2 Gold Coins was not a small amount, and others had to pay an even higher proportion. He had lived through hard times; in the past, he would have had to plan for a long time before daring to spend even 1 Silver Coin. Back then, he didn't even dare to dream of having 1 Gold Coin at his disposal.
