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

Through the chat with Chen Shao'ang just now, Ming Jia discovered that the current tense situation in Xuzhou City was largely due to Chen Shao'ang's instigation. Chen Shao'ang is the pebble thrown into this calm lake.

Naturally, Chen Shao'ang's goal was not just to gain a foothold in Xuzhou City. What Chen Shao'ang wants to do is to completely control the city of Xuzhou before Emperor Liang decrees that Xuzhou will be the location of the new port.

Chen Shaoang knew the importance of Tianjin Port and the richness of Tianjin Port even more. He wanted to replicate the success of Jinggang in Xuzhou, but the various aristocratic families in Xuzhou had been checking and balancing for too long, and there would be no way to play unless the balance was broken.

So, Chen Shaoang made a little plan...

Mingjia also understood why she could not buy wasteland and mountains easily now!

Mingjia now not only believes in karma in the world, but also believes in the butterfly effect.

Of course, if I hadn't let Fourth Uncle Cheng leave in Jincheng, I wouldn't have saved Chen Shao'ang in time. At least his father and Chen Shao'ang would not have known each other, so there was a high probability that Chen Shao'ang would not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the case of the former dynasty's military garrison.

Of course, with Chen Shao'ang's ability, it is not impossible to eventually climb to a high position, but it will take time to stand out in the official career. If a county magistrate from a border state wants to go to Beijing, he will not get the chance even within ten years.

In short, Chen Shaoang had the opportunity to retake the imperial examination because of the military garrison case. Moreover, Mingjia is very sure that in the original plot, Emperor Liang finally selected Xuzhou as the new port because of its natural harbor.

And now, judging from the obvious situation, it is obvious that Chen Shaoang has a lot of credit.

Ming Jia now feels as if the arrow he shot six years ago will hit him between the eyebrows six years later.

Mingjia didn't regret saving Chen Shao'ang, but when things got to this point, Mingjia could only lament that she might not have that rich life.

As for the talk of defrauding Master's money, it was a complete joke. Master Xie Boyuan sent the money to Mingjia and never asked about it again. Mingjia went to ask Master if this was considered an investment or entrusted financial management.

Xie Boyuan regarded it as a gift to Mingjia and did not consider taking it back at all. However, Mingjia couldn't really just accept it. How did Mingjia reply to Xie Boyuan at that time.

"If this is considered as the pocket money given by the master to the apprentice, then that's fine! Then I can't keep it to myself! My brother and I should each take half of it!"

Mingjia recalled that he seemed to have said at the beginning that his brother would share half of the money. well!

Ming Jia's thoughts had gone from what he would have done if he had not rescued Chen Shao'ang to how to deal with the large sum of money in his hand. After all, this money still needs to be invested in order to continue making money!

It wasn't until Mrs. Yan came to ask Mingjia to go to dinner that Mingjia stopped thinking about it.

The dinner was cooked by Mrs. Yan. Chen Shaoang and Ming Jia sat at the same table. Mrs. Yan ate with Shi Shi, Cheng Wen and the old slaves of the Chen family.

Mingjia looked at the number of people he had, and asked Chen Shao'ang a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Shao'ang, is your family well-off? We won't be ruined, right?"

Chen Shao'ang had already taken a bite of the food with his chopsticks, "Hmm~ It's delicious! Much more delicious than Uncle Xian's!" Chen Shao'ang was concentrating on tasting the food when he suddenly heard Ming Jia's question.

Chen Shao'ang put down his bowl and chopsticks and smiled and said: "With your small appetite, you can't eat me down! Don't worry! The place I stay is not some Qingshui Yamen!"

Ming Jia raised his eyebrows, he actually dared to directly talk about his yamen like this, he really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

While drinking tea after the meal, Chen Shao'ang looked at Ming Jia and said, "From tomorrow on, you will be with me as an errand boy! Remember to call me second uncle from now on!"

"Second uncle?"

"Hey! That's right!"

Ming Jia suddenly smiled and asked maliciously: "Second uncle, then I am your little nephew! Then do you think I can carry your flag and walk sideways in Xuzhou City?"

Chen Shao'ang found Ming Jia's idea funny, but he didn't want to pour cold water on Ming Jia. "Theoretically it's possible! But I'll watch you!"

"Then can I be more domineering? Or act like a playboy or something?" Mingjia continued to ask.

Chen Shao'ang sighed, "Can't you just be a well-behaved and obedient young master from an aristocratic family?"

Mingjia suddenly jumped off the chair and stood up to walk away. "Isn't it clear to my second uncle whether I am good or not?" Ming Jia had already walked to the door and suddenly came back.

"Second uncle, do you know Cao Ye, the editor of the Hanlin Academy?"

Chen Shao'ang's thoughts were still focused on whether Ming Jia was well-behaved, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by Ming Jia's problem.

Ming Jia planned to go back to her room and write a letter to her brother, but suddenly she remembered that the examiner from the capital for the Qingzhou Academy Examination was Cao Ye, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

There are generally three examiners for each state's academic examination every year. One is the magistrate of the state, one is the edict of a neighboring state, and the last one is the editor sent by the Hanlin Academy to each state.

Of course, the chief examiner is the magistrate, and generally has the highest authority over the questions, but the other two examiners will usually ask one or two questions to give them a sense of participation.

Sun Juan was familiar with the governors of Qingzhou and the teachings of neighboring states selected this time, so he could help his brother review and answer questions in a targeted manner. But he didn’t understand Cao Ye at all.

Originally, I planned to ask Uncle Li to help inquire in the capital, but Li Hansheng was a military general after all, and some information was difficult to inquire about. Especially during such a sensitive period, Li Hansheng couldn't ask Cao Ye what books he usually likes to read!

Then, just now Mingjia suddenly thought of Chen Shaoang! He spent a year in the Hanlin Academy! And doesn’t Chen Shaoang like to observe people very much?

Chen Shao'ang still has some impressions of this Cao Ye, "He was a Jinshi who was three years older than me, and was originally going to be sent to an official position. But he participated in the restoration of an ancient book, so..."

Chen Shao'ang originally planned to continue talking, but Ming Jia quickly stopped him. "Second uncle, he is one of my brother's examiners for this year's college exam! You are my second uncle, so naturally you are also my brother's second uncle!"

"My nephew is taking the college entrance examination, and my second uncle is a serious Jinshi, and he is also the first in the second class! Why don't you help my nephew with a few more questions!"

Ming Jia and Chen Shao'ang weren't that familiar at first, so these requests must have been made in the past... after they became more familiar with each other in two days.

However, now that Mingjia knows that she has nothing to pretend to be in front of Chen Shaoang, she lets herself go completely. The main focus is truth, goodness and beauty!

Chen Shao'ang understood what Ming Jia meant. This was business and it was not difficult for him, so he nodded and agreed. "I'll go back to the study later, think about it carefully, and give you the topic tomorrow!"

Mingjia's reason told her that she should say, "Thank you, uncle! There's no need to be in such a hurry!"

But Mingjia just opened his mouth. "Then remember to ask more questions! It's best to have different test points and question types!"
