Qin Yao got up extra early and went straight to the escort agency as soon as it opened. She placed an order to have a letter and money sent back to Liu Family Village.
It was too early, and the Money Shop wasn't open yet, so Qin Yao couldn't exchange silver notes. She shifted fifty taels of her own silver to the escort agency to give to Liu the carpenter to expand the factory, purchase tools, and recruit workers.
The fifty taels might not be enough, so Liu the carpenter would have to cover the rest for now, and they would settle the accounts when they meet.
The escort agency charged a high fee for small orders like this one, leading Qin Yao to part with two taels of silver for the service.
Fortunately, the agency was efficient, promising to deliver the silver and letter to Liu the carpenter within two days.
