After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 351 Child Labor Xiao Mingjia
Chen Shaoang had a lot of official documents to read, so he gave Mingjia a few books to kill her boredom. Mingjia flipped through the pages of the book with her fingers, but her mind had already wandered.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Ming Jia realized that some things he had done were too flamboyant and excessive, which might have caused some counterattacks from local aristocratic families.
Mingjia will definitely think of more good ways in these years. Xiao Qingshan may build Chuanzhou Qu County into a better place, but of course it will most likely leave him a lot of trouble.
But now it is more about Xie Boyuan's suggestions. Nowadays, the development of Qu County is also good. The most important thing is that if the foundation is laid well, the subsequent development will be better and better. However, these achievements are destined not to belong to Xiao Qingshan.
Mingjia is willing to restrain his temper and even thinks about many things in advance. For example, this time Xuzhou bought wasteland. In fact, Mingjia had already thought about what he would do if he bought the land but couldn't keep it.
After all, as long as the news that Xuzhou is going to build a port comes out, people who own large tracts of land in Xuzhou will be targeted. And it is very likely that he will not be able to keep these lands.
If it were Ming Jia in the past, he would definitely say: "Whoever wants to touch my money, I will kill him!"
But now Mingjia can only say: "Then I will sell the land to the most powerful party in exchange for some other benefits!"
Ming Jia's attitude towards Chen Shao'ang has always been awkward. When they first met, Ming Jia actually looked down on Chen Shao'ang because of Miss Zhou's incident.
Later, Mingjia knew that Chen Shao'ang was an undercover rebel, and finally obtained evidence and maps, and even almost died in the previous court's troop garrison case. Mingjia knew that this was a ruthless person.
Of course, subsequent events also verified Mingjia's conjecture.
Mingjia was a liberal arts student in his previous life, and he admired all the lonely ministers in history. Not everyone dared to take this path, so Mingjia began to have a much different view of Chen Shao'ang.
Until today, Mingjia discovered that Chen Shaoang liked her very much. If possible, Mingjia felt that it would be better to steadily win over people's hearts and power, and did not want Chen Shaoang to take too many risks.
Ming Jia saw Chen Shao'ang getting up to pour himself tea, "Second uncle, all of my men are masters. Once the situation in Xuzhou gets out of control, I will immediately take my people and leave Xuzhou quickly. Take care!"
Chen Shao'ang stood next to the desk with a teapot. When he heard Ming Jia's words, he didn't understand what they meant at all.
Before Chen Shao'ang could react, Ming Jia stared into Chen Shao'ang's eyes and continued, "But you will be safe with the coachman here."
Chen Shaoang was a little helpless, and he guessed that the little girl must have discovered something.
"He only saved my life at the critical moment, as long as he ensured that I would not die. In this case, all my long-term planning and layout in Xuzhou would be scrapped."
Chen Shao'ang understood what Ming Jia meant and didn't hide it from Ming Jia.
Ming Jia raised her eyebrows but couldn't help but want to make a mockery of Chen Shao'ang. "Second uncle, you didn't show enough strength! You didn't attract enough attention!"
Chen Shaoang was speechless...
Chen Shao'ang didn't know until now that this girl was more thoughtful than he imagined under Xie Boyuan's guidance.
And it seems that after he exposed the little girl's disguise, the little girl stopped pretending at all, and now she is really full of fire against him.
"I know it well! I won't get angry! I don't think you are in the mood to read a book! Help me read the account book!" Chen Shao'ang put down the teapot and turned back to get the account book.
Mingjia knew without asking that it must be his father and uncle Shao'ang who told him that he was opening a shop and taking care of the family's business. "Hmph! Child labor is being employed!"
Chen Shao'ang didn't expect Mingjia to really do anything for him, he simply didn't want Mingjia to sit there and think nonsense.
Chen Shaoang also thoughtfully brought an abacus to Mingjia, and Mingjia casually opened an account book. It was the account book for repairing the coastal defense dam in Xuzhou last year.
This was the first time for Mingjia to see such account books of a government office. In the past, there was an independent accountant in Quxian County Government, but Mingjia had never seen such account books.
It stands to reason that the government office in Xuzhou City should have several professional scribes responsible for these matters! So, Chen Shaoang doesn’t trust the scribes? Or do you want to check for errors in the ledger?
Mingjia started looking at the account book from the first page with the idea of finding errors in the account book.
Chen Shaoang was in Xiu Mu yesterday, so his workload today is a bit heavy. He saw Mingjia walking around his bookshelf out of the corner of his eye. He just thought the little girl was bored and let Mingjia go.
Mingjia found that he would not be able to tell anything by just looking at one account book. He had to take out last year's account books, preferably those from the last time the dam was repaired, and compare them.
Mingjia remembered where Chen Shaoang found the account book from the bookshelf just now, so Mingjia wanted to look for it to see if the other account books were put together.
After Chen Shao'ang had read almost the official documents he wanted to read, he felt that it was almost time to take Ming Jia to lunch.
Chen Shaoang looked up and saw that the desk next to him was already piled high with account books, and Ming Jia's figure was completely blocked by the account books.
Chen Shaoang turned his head and looked at the bookshelf on the other side, and found that several bookshelf spaces had been emptied by Mingjia.
"You've moved so much, can you finish reading it? Let's have lunch first!" Chen Shao'ang walked to Ming Jia's desk, his tone not showing any blame.
Mingjia was in such high spirits that she didn't even feel hungry! After listening to Chen Shao'ang's words, he raised his head and stared at Chen Shao'ang with bright eyes, "Hey! Eat first!"
Chen Shao'ang felt that something was wrong with Ming Jia's state, and he had an uneasy feeling in his heart, but there was no evidence at all.
The government office has its own kitchen and a cook, who delivers meals to the adults on time every day. But they are all big pot dishes, so the taste is a bit different.
Chen Shao'ang originally wanted to take Mingjia out to eat at a nearby restaurant, but Mingjia asked about the restaurant's distance and found it was too far, so he asked to just eat the food prepared by the kitchen at the government office.
This made Chen Shao'ang feel even more uneasy. Mingjia happily ate lunch at several large dining tables in front of the kitchen.
Chen Shao'ang watched from the side, becoming more and more frightened.
Chen Shao'ang felt that he should not have had a showdown with Ming Jia yesterday, especially when he thought that Ming Jia said that all of her men were masters and they could leave Xuzhou as soon as possible if something happened.
Ming Jia finished his lunch quickly. Looking at Chen Shao'ang who still had a lot of food left, he said with some disgust: "Second uncle, you eat so slowly~!"
Chen Shao'ang sped up his eating speed and finished the rest of the meal in a few mouthfuls. "I'm done eating. Let's go have a cup of tea and take a rest! Do you need a nap?"
Ming Jia was very energetic now, "I haven't drunk my morning tea yet! I'm not sleepy and don't need a nap! If my second uncle needs a nap, I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Ming Jia stood up and left the table. Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Chen Shao'ang, "Do we need to collect these bowls and chopsticks ourselves and put them together?"
Chen Shao'ang shook his head, got up and took Ming Jia back to his study in the government office.
