The ghost messenger counted the money for Zhao Zhongyu, took a hefty fee and tax according to the rate, and handed over the contents of a storeroom to him.
Inside were not only money, silk bundles, various objects, and livestock, but also various sacrificial texts.
The ghost butler ran around for him, helped him buy a house, and hired a group of ghosts to move everything into the new house, naturally, all paid for by Zhao Zhongyu.
He has money now!
Zhao Zhongyu felt very novel, "If so, isn't all the currency in the underworld coming from the human world? Do ghosts also depend on humans?"
The ghost butler replied, "This is the case now; I've heard from ghost messengers that in the past, there were few lingering ghosts in the underworld—they were either reincarnating or suffering punishment in Hell, so few ghosts spent money, only ghost messengers needed money from human offerings and sacrifices."
