Chapter 95 Property Purchase and Encouraging Saints_2 Seeing Xu Jin so young only increased their respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Star Patrol Commander so young could very well become a flag master in the future, who dare not show respect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, the broker gathered several top brokers and selected six properties for Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Xu Jin set his heart on a house with two layers, consisting of three main, four auxiliary, and six side rooms, totaling thirteen rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides a front courtyard, there was also a back courtyard twenty meters long and twelve meters wide, where cultivation was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The property was also close to Jinshan Taoist Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much is this house?” Xu Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Xu, this property is currently priced at three thousand nine hundred taels,” the broker replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xu Dajiang’s eyes widened in shock at first, but he managed to compose himself and didn’t show any surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his son was now an official of the Star Patrol Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He absolutely couldn’t cause his son to lose face in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the belief of Xu Dajiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, what if I buy it?” Xu Jin asked the broker with a smiling glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Xu, you will naturally have your price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broker bowed, speaking in a low, chuckling voice, “Lord Xu, three thousand five hundred taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t make a single tael on this and won’t charge commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, I can arrange for cleaning today, and if you want to move in, you can do so tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed.” Xu Jin directly handed over three thousand five hundred taels, and additionally pulled out fifty taels of silver, “I won’t let you lose out on the commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, introduce me to two more shops, ideally prosperous ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to have his father move to the county city, and it was necessary to set up some assets for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, without a source of income, his father wouldn’t settle comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Xu Jin thought further ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path he now walked was perilous, often operating on thin margins, and any day could be his last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Establish some assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xu Jin did indeed perish someday, at least his concerns would be fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shops?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broker pondered for a moment, bowed, and said, “Lord Xu, I won’t lie to you, the shops in the county city are always in high demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good ones are almost never vacant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do have a few shops, but I fear they might not catch your eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I have a good lead that might suit you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Xu, didn’t the county government just seize the Zhao Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred shops were confiscated, and Zhao Family’s shops are top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your status, getting one or two shouldn’t be difficult,” the broker explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed an excellent lead, something Xu Jin hadn’t considered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next half day, Xu Jin, along with his father and sister, checked out the property in person and then went to the government office to handle the paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also bought three well-located shops at the government office, each small in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, they charged Xu Jin five thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The government office originally planned to sell these shops publicly but ended up selling them to Xu Jin at the normal market rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin wasn’t oblivious—he sent out over a hundred taels in tea money for half a dozen people, which probably saved him at least two thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin didn’t intend for Xu Dajiang to run the three shops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending most of his life farming and doing physical labor, conducting business in the county city wasn’t the best choice for his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to rent them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each could bring in at least seventy to eighty taels of rent a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only sufficient for a city life, but he could also save some money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xu Jin’s cash reserves dropped sharply from twenty-two thousand taels to just over thirteen thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jin felt extremely relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had resolved a potential future concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, his father and his sister Jiang’er would have a stable source of income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he did perish, the brothers from the Star Patrol Guard would still look out for them, preventing any bullying or harsh treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, he also bought several sets of clothes and shoes for Jiang’er and his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, no matter where, young people adapt the quickest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one afternoon, his sister Jiang’er had already adapted to the changes in the Xu Family’s situation, and under Xu Jin’s repeated indoctrination, her mindset had started to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But changing the frugal habits of a lifetime wasn’t easy for old father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang’er, here is one thousand taels of silver; take it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, see what the new house lacks, and buy whatever is needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t skimp on the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your brother now has enough,” Xu Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, brother, don’t worry, I know what to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dajiang, listening from the side, couldn’t hold back his words, “Jin’er, you’ve worked hard for this wealth, and we still need to be frugal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it could quickly disappear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, with those three shops, what’s there to fear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also get a monthly salary of fifty taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, by the way, some of my colleagues might come to warm the house in a few days; you should prepare well,” Xu Jin had another plan forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frugal habit wasn’t unbreakable, and its weakness was his son’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as soon as Xu Dajiang heard this from Xu Jin, he became nervous, “Warm the house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we must hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your brother’s colleagues are all officials; we can’t afford to embarrass him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin’er, when exactly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle sentence was Xu Dajiang instructing Jiang’er, but the last question was directed at Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh, probably in about seven or eight days,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin casually mentioned a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually made up; he had just bought the house that day, how could his colleagues possibly know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nighttime at Jinshan Taoist Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was practicing the Golden Spreading Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one and a half two-hour periods, the Starlight had covered his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two-hour period later, the Starlight had reached his crown’s vital point.\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","c1dcd312fcb49d9f6ff2e19bfcbe7477857bd2440210f3b7bd503e6c92c34d1a","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-123","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-121",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
