Examining the copper coins closely, the middle-aged woman asked, "Aunty, then what about the old copper coins issued by the imperial court?"
"You can exchange the old copper coins for the new ones at the Feng Army's barracks," the elderly woman explained. "You can also earn these new copper coins by working for the Feng Army or by joining as a soldier."
She lowered her voice and added, "The pay is very good. Soldiers receive two strings of copper coins every month, along with twenty jins of white rice, five jins of fresh vegetables, three jins of fresh meat, and ten jins of white flour."
"If you have sons, you should encourage them to take the test and join the Feng Army while they are still recruiting."
After hearing this, hope filled the middle-aged woman's heart. "Thank you for telling me, Aunty," she thanked the elderly woman sincerely.
The elderly woman waved her hand casually. "We are all living in Xiqiang City. Helping each other is only right."
