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

Every morning, Mingjia likes to stay in the study and read books and practice calligraphy by herself. Although she does not take the imperial examination, she does not want to be too different from her brother in knowledge.

Near noon, Mingjia heard a knock on the door and thought it was Shuang'er reminding her to go back to the backyard for lunch.

"Come in! I'll go back to the backyard after I finish this chapter!"

"Master, the transfer of ownership in Zhuangzi has been completed. Here is the title deed!"

Mingjia heard Chengwen's voice and suddenly looked up to see the land deed handed over by Chengwen with both hands.

"Is it done so quickly? How much money does Zhuangzi have?" Mingjia reached out and took the deed, opened it and read it.

"Back to the young master, there are 400 acres of good-quality farmland in Zhuangzi in the northeast, and the price is three taels of silver per mu. There are 500 acres of medium-quality farmland, and the price is one and a half coins per mu. There are more than 110 acres of inferior sandy land, and the price is one tael and one tael per mu. money"

As Chengwen talked about the price, Mingjia counted the money in his mind, while not forgetting to compare it with the land price in Chuanzhou.

"It's also a border city, and the land price in Dianzhou is much more expensive than that in Sichuan!"

Mingjia was secretly calculating in her mind. She remembered that before she came, she sent someone to inquire about the price of the best farmland in Sichuan Province for only two taels of silver per acre.

Chuanzhou is short of water, so fertile farmland with water sources around it will be sold for three taels of silver, but such high-quality fertile farmland is rarely sold.

"Huang Dayou and I went to Zhuangzi this morning to re-measure the land. The quantities are all right! There are still several houses in Zhuangzi, but the original owner of the village said they don't count the money."

"The deed tax and benefits of the transfer belong to the original village head. Because the master is in the government office, only the benefits are left. Therefore, zeros were added to the money, totaling two thousand taels of silver."

Ming Jia raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Wen, then asked with a smile: "What a coincidence?"

Last night, Mingjia went back to her room to rest, and then she remembered that Shuang'er had given Chengwen a box containing two thousand taels of silver notes.

Chengwen also thought it was a coincidence, nodded quickly and said: "Master, your estimated price is very accurate!"

"By the way, young master! I met Huang Dayou today and asked some questions. The master asked me to bring you a message. You can buy it from the hot spring village in the east of the city, but the price will not be low."

Mingjia can buy it as soon as he hears it! He grins, as long as he can sell it!

When Chengwen saw Mingjia's smile, he knew that the young master really liked the hot spring village.

"Master, I asked Huang Dayou to wait for Xin'er outside the government office. Do you want to take some time to visit the hot spring village?"

Mingjia lowered his head and thought about the time, "Tomorrow morning!"

After Chengwen left, Mingjia put down the book and went directly back to the backyard to have lunch.

"Mom, I plan to go to the east of the city to visit the hot spring village tomorrow. Do you want to go there with me?"

Mingjia invited Dong to visit Zhuangzi with him tomorrow. Hot Spring Zhuangzi was relatively close and it was his family's property after all.

Mrs. Dong subconsciously touched her belly. She wanted to go and have a look, but was a little worried about the bumpy carriage.

Seeing Dong's hesitation, Ming Jia thought for a while and asked Cheng Si to go to Mr. Ye's place. "Uncle Cheng, tell Mr. Ye that I will use his carriage."

"Mom, you will be bored if you stay at home all day. I will arrange a comfortable and bumpy car for you. If you get tired of riding in the carriage, I will get out of the car with you and take a walk!"

Mrs. Dong really wanted to go out for a walk. Seeing that Ming Jia had made all the arrangements, she nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Mingjia had already purchased Zhuangzi for cultivating and planting Panax notoginseng, and Xie Boyuan of Sichuan Province had just received Mingjia's letter.

Mingjun went to the county school, and Lao Lu handed two letters to Xie Boyuan.

"Second Master, a letter from Dianzhou!"

Xie Boyuan found that both letters were written by Ming Jia, one for himself and one for Ming Jun, but his letter was obviously much thinner.

Xie Boyuan opened his letter with a slight curl of his lips. There were only two pages. Xie Boyuan read it three times before slowly putting it down.

"This idea is more daring than mine!"

Xie Boyuan naturally had his own considerations and plans in choosing Dianzhou for Xiao Qingshan, and he did think about getting the Xiao family and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion involved, but...

"Lao Lu, go and call Shi Shi!"

Fourteenth has been back to Sichuanzhou for a while, and today happened to change shifts with Thirteenth and stayed at home to rest.

Fourteen came very quickly and went directly to Commander Xie's study. Xie Boyuan asked Shi Shi a lot of questions about the Dianzhou caravan and the southwest trade route.

However, the Fourteeners knew that there were many merchants in Dianzhou City who came and sold goods every day, but they did not know much about them.

Xie Boyuan waved for Fourteen to go down first. He wanted to think about something carefully.

Mingjia's method was also more risky than his original plan when planning the position of the governor of Dianzhou, but... this kind of deal was more equal.

Xie Boyuan thought for a long time and decided to wait until Mingjun came back from school in the county and chat with Mingjun before writing a reply to Mingjia.

As soon as Mingjun returned home, he heard that there was a letter from him. Mingjun immediately quickened his pace. He had not received a letter from Dianzhou for a long time.

"Master! Master! Where is my letter!"

Xie Boyuan felt helpless when he heard Ming Jun's voice. Over the years, he had really worked hard to sharpen Ming Jun's character and temper. Normally, he would immediately break the rules as long as it was related to his family.

Mingjun picked up the letter from the desk, glanced at the envelope to make sure it was a letter from his sister, and sat down at the round table in the study to open the letter and read it.

Mingjia's letters to her brother contain a lot of sharing and records of life.

Ming Jun saw that Ming Jia only brought a few people to join the tribe, and couldn't help but frown: "You are so courageous!"

Xie Boyuan had been waiting for Mingjun to read the letter, and when he heard Mingjun muttering in a low voice, he knew that Mingjia must have done something.

"Can you show me your letter?"

Xie Boyuan has now learned to speak directly when something happens, as Ming Jia said: "We are all our masters and apprentices!"

Ming Jun handed the letter he read to his master Xie Boyuan.

"Master, why do the people in Dianzhou feel that their lives are more difficult than those in Sichuanzhou?"

It took Xie Boyuan a while to finish reading Ming Jun's letter. Ming Jia wrote it like a travel note, with detailed descriptions of the scenery, folk customs, and landforms.

Comparing the letters he wrote to himself, Xie Boyuan really only asked himself difficult questions when he wanted to get angry.

"A lot of Dianzhou's current development is due to historical reasons. There used to be multiple political regimes in Dianzhou..."

Xie Boyuan put down the letter and told Ming Jun about the history and current situation of Dianzhou.

Mingjun listened carefully. He had privately checked a lot of information and books about Dianzhou. The introductions were incomplete and most of them described a barbaric place. This made Mingjun very worried about his parents and younger sister.

After Xie Boyuan told Mingjun about Dianzhou, he took Mingjun to have dinner first. Mingjun wanted to get his letter back.

"Leave the letter here for now. I'll read it twice more tonight!"

Xie Boyuan feels that Mingjia's process of joining the tribe is worth studying.
