The next morning, the Broker brought the seller over. Chu Jin agreed on the price, went to the county government, finished the red contract, paid the Tax Silver, and in total spent ninety-three taels.
Chu Jin was quite satisfied. After completing the procedures, he instructed Zhang Cong, "You organize some temporary workers to connect the several courtyards. First, go and reserve bricks and tiles. If you need silver, get it from the residence's treasury."
"Young Master, rest assured, I will handle it immediately."
Zhang Cong was no longer young and was even more steadfast and reliable in his work. Upon receiving the instructions, he set out to handle these matters.
Chu Jin did not join Chu Sheng to meet with the students anymore. He was now busy arranging matters for the store.
Just back at the residence, he ran into the Second Housekeeper.
