After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

After breakfast, Mingjia asked Granny Yan and Shi Shi to rest, and she took Chengwen and Uncle Li out together. She was now full of curiosity about this Xuzhou city.

Cheng Wen is the oldest of the four new guards, but he is only nineteen years old. As for Uncle Li, he is the most unruly person who travels around.

Mingjia took these two people to various food stalls and small restaurants on the streets of Xuzhou. As long as Mingjia had not seen it in Chuanzhou, Mingjia bought a piece to try.

All right! In fact, since Mingjia came to Daliang, she hasn't seen many strange things. When I was in Qingzhou, I was young, and when I was in Chuanzhou, it was a border state, so when I arrived in Xuzhou Mingjia, I did see a lot of novel things.

Cheng Wen had been training in the guard camp before and rarely went out to go shopping. Uncle Li, on the other hand, had extensive knowledge and had been telling Ming Jia a lot.

Mingjia still likes to visit bookstores. The books in the south are indeed more diverse than those in the north. Moreover, Mingjia discovered that the paper and ink strips sold in the bookstore were much better than those in Qingzhou.

Mingjia discovered that Xuzhou was close to the canal and the sea, so the bookstores in Xuzhou had many books on water conservancy and coastal defense, which Mingjia had never seen before.

Mingjia bought two copies of each, intending to keep one to read by herself and send the other to her brother. Mingjia also selected several kinds of ink sticks, including scented ink sticks, and Mingjia also planned to send them to his brother.

When Mingjia got tired of shopping, she took Chengwen and Uncle Li back to the inn. Mrs. Yan and Shi Shi were sitting in the yard chatting while waiting for Ming Jia and others to come back.

Shi Shi heard the footsteps first and got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Shi Shi smiled at Ming Jia. "As expected, the young master came back with a lot of food. Grandma Yan said that we don't need to cook for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Mingjia laughed and walked into the yard. "Sure enough, Granny Yan understands me! The three of us tried the food here this morning and thought it was good! The food that wasn't delicious was not bought for everyone!"

Cheng Wu heard the commotion and came out. Ming Jia looked around and found that several guards were missing, "Where are the others? Let's come out to eat delicious food together!"

Uncle Li explained, "I have sent them out to the counties and villages along the coast of Xuzhou. We need to know a lot about the situation."

Cheng Wen also nodded and added, "There are a lot of things to check, and Uncle Li's manpower is somewhat insufficient, so I asked Cheng Zhi and Cheng De to help." If Mrs. Yan and Shi Shi were not resting in the yard, Cheng Wu would have also gone to help. .

Mingjia glanced at Uncle Li, said nothing, and continued to greet everyone to eat quickly. The weather was too hot and the food could not be kept for a day. Everyone else started eating, and Mingjia went back to the house to write a letter to her brother.

Mingjia's letter was a bit long. Where was she now? Why did she promise to write a letter every three days, but now she broke her promise? Mingjia's letter this time was mainly about admitting her mistake and apologizing.

It’s time to finish writing the letter and sign it, check it again to see if it’s OK, and seal the envelope. Mingjia continued to take out the letter paper and wrote to Master Xie Boyuan, and her momentum immediately became stronger.

She wanted to ask Master why he didn't write her a reply and let her wait for a while! Moreover, Mingjia felt that his plan might have been leaked by his master.

In short, Mingjia's letter to Master was rude, rude, and confusing! As for whether he really wants to punish the master or wants to make the master happy in this way, it depends on how Xie Boyuan interprets it!

Mingjia guessed that the master didn't reply to his letter and asked Uncle Li to hand over all the information to the people in the Duke's Mansion, probably because he wanted to extricate his brother and himself from this matter.

Mingjia is not alone. She has her brother and her parents behind her, especially her mother who is still pregnant with the child. These things will affect the whole family if they are not careful. Naturally, they should avoid Mingjia as soon as possible.

Mingjia wrote the letter and divided the gift she bought today into two parts, one for her master and one for her brother. Leave it all to Uncle Li to send it off. Mingjia didn't specifically say what method to use. Uncle Li can decide for himself!

Cheng Zhi, Cheng De and others also came back one after another. Ming Jia asked Granny Yan to arrange for everyone to have dinner first.

Even after the sun sets in Xuzhou in July, the temperature in the first half of the night is enough to keep people awake at night. Mingjia and others sat in the yard and talked about what they had seen today.

Mrs. Yan gently fanned Mingjia with a fan to drive away the mosquitoes. Cheng Zhi already had some research on terrain and other issues, so Cheng Zhi went straight to the fishing village by the sea today.

Mingjia knew that in ancient times there were no maps in the hands of the common people, and the occasional simple maps were all made by individuals.

Mingjia took out a pen and paper, and based on his understanding of Xuzhou City today, he simply drew the locations of the four city gates of Xuzhou. Cheng Zhi is really talented in these areas. He understood Ming Jia's meaning just by looking at Ming Jia's paintings.

"I started from the east gate and headed southeast. When I burned the incense, I saw the Ten Mile Pavilion... and after an hour and a half, I could already see the seaside..."

Mingjia completed the simple map based on Cheng Zhi's description. Because all the distance units in Cheng Zhi's description were cleverly replaced by time, the map drawn by Mingjia also used time as the scale.

Cheng Zhi made a sample, and the others came forward one by one, following Cheng Zhi's thinking and telling what they had discovered or seen today. Soon a simple map of the east and south sides of Xuzhou City was drawn.

Mingjia wanted to buy wasteland or mountainous land because Mingjia remembered that it was mentioned in the original book that Xuzhou was chosen because it has a natural harbor surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Based on the preliminary investigation by Cheng Zhi and others, Mingjia has roughly determined that there are counties and villages with mountains and possible natural harbors. "Tomorrow, you won't be able to find it by yourself!"

Mingjia turned to look at Granny Yan, "Grandma Yan, tomorrow you will withdraw some money for everyone, find a local gangster for each person, and say that he will help the master's family buy mountains and open up wasteland for farming."

Having a local yaozi can save a lot of trouble, and Mingjia can confirm that the construction of a port in Xuzhou is still highly confidential information. Therefore, their purchase of land and mountains will not attract too much attention.

Mrs. Yan agreed, handed the fan to Fourteen, then got up and went back to prepare the money. Chengwu and Uncle Li thought for a while and said that they would also join the team that went out to investigate.

In this way, only Shi Shi and Cheng Wen were left to protect Ming Jia. Cheng Wen and Shi Shi looked at each other. In fact, Xuzhou City should be very safe at the moment.

Ming Jia felt that apart from being targeted by Xie Zhiqiu in the capital, of course she was by the way, mainly because of her brother. Other times, I am safe along the way.

Except for the Qingzhou incident, Xie Jin's incident was purely an accident and could not be explained according to common sense.

So, in the end, everyone’s division of labor was divided. Mrs. Yan stayed at the inn to take care of her luggage mainly to rest. Accompanied by Shi Shi and Cheng Wen, Ming Jia continued to eat and play in Xuzhou City.
