Although delighted inwardly, Shen Congwen did not show it. On the contrary, he appeared to be very troubled.
"Lord Xu, this matter is of great importance, I need to discuss it thoroughly with the Pei and Du families."
"Could you give me two days, and we will come to a decision to give you an answer?"
Xu Wendong: "Alright, you three families should discuss it thoroughly!"
"Then I shall take my leave!" Shen Congwen bowed and exited the courtyard.
Xu Wendong then looked at a Yamen Runner: "Invite Chief Registrar Chu to come here."
Soon.
Chu Ye reluctantly arrived at the courtyard, looking somewhat haggard, as if she hadn't slept well the previous night.
Xu Wendong said: "Draft a contract; I plan to lease the sea area of the Outer Sea to the Shen, Du, and Pei families."
"The annual fee is one hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones, with a ten-year lease term."
