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

After Ming Jun's birthday, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the Dianzhou government office was completely quiet.

Xiao Qingshan only needs to go to the Yamen every day to order Mao, and then goes back to the backyard to accompany Mr. Dong.

Mingjia finally had some short time to do her own business.

Yan Niang has helped Ming Jia with a lot of things recently, and Cheng Si and Cheng Wen have been running around outside.

Mingjia couldn't get away, so she took advantage of everything she could.

The cook in the backyard of the government office who could speak Chinese and Lemo was seconded by Mingjia and sent to Yanniang to be a translator.

Ming Jia was worried that Yan Niang was unfamiliar with the place and the language, so she would have difficulty communicating or even be deceived, so she sent Cheng Si to Yan Niang to protect her. At the same time, Cheng Si's identity could also provide Yan Niang with a lot of convenience.

Not only are the greenhouses being built at the Medicinal Plant Zhuangzi, the flower pots and wooden frames for breeding are also being processed and made, and several local women from Dianzhou have been hired as helpers.

For the first batch of medicinal materials to be planted, Mingjia decided to plant Panax notoginseng.

Panax notoginseng is the main ingredient used in hemostatic drugs, and it also has a strong hemostatic effect.

According to the time given by Mr. Ye, the seeds need to be soaked in advance before the Chinese New Year, and seedlings can be cultivated in more than ten days.

In February of the next year, the flower pots will be transplanted into the greenhouse, and a year later they will need to be transplanted again into the mountains or fields.

The growth rate of Panax notoginseng is relatively slow, and it takes more than three years from sowing to harvesting, so it can be harvested after two years of planting.

But before the New Year, Mingjia was destined to have no time to focus on these things, so she left it all to Yan Niang.

While Mingjia was doing two things every day, paying attention to Dong's belly in the backyard and remotely controlling the construction of Zhuangzi in the north of the city, Da Liu arrived in Dianzhou with Chen Shao'ang's autographed letter.

When Ming Jia saw Da Liu, her brain short-circuited for a moment, and then she remembered that she had forgotten such an important thing.

Da Liu was originally a Jianghu person who was willing to take revenge, and he used to protect Ming Jia wholeheartedly, but because that was the order of Mr. Xie Boyuan and Xie Erye.

When he saw Ming Jia again this time, Da Liu lifted up his robe and knelt down to kowtow without saying a word.

"Da Liu thanks Master Mingjia for his arrangement, which allows me to kill my enemies with my own hands."

Cheng Si and Cheng Wen were not around Ming Jia today, and Shuang'er standing next to him couldn't help Da Liu up.

"Uncle Liu, get up quickly! Don't give such a big gift!"

Da Liu finished his salute and then stood up slowly, handed the letter in his arms to Ming Jia and said.

"Master Mingjia, this is a letter from Mr. Chen to you!"

Then, he took out a second envelope and handed it to Ming Jia and said, "This is a letter from shopkeeper Huang!"

Mingjia put the letter aside first. She was now more concerned about what was going on in Xuzhou.

Da Liu sat on a chair nearby and talked about the situation in Xuzhou.

"Both the Cao family and the Song family have been confiscated. They were involved in replacing death row inmates and imprisoning fishermen for privately mining gold and pearls."

"They also smuggle some commodities that are in short supply domestically and sell them to neighboring countries in exchange for other supplies."

Da Liu didn't know the forces behind the Cao family and Song Jia, but he followed Chen Shao'ang and watched. Chen Shao'ang's expression and state guessed that he was from the top nobles.

Ming Jia looked at Da Liu's tired look, thinking that he was on his way to Dianzhou.

Ming Jia first asked Shuang'er to take Da Liu to the yard of Cheng Si and others, and then make arrangements after taking a good rest.

After Da Liu left, Ming Jia opened Chen Shao'ang's letter first.

Chen Shao'ang's letter was indeed relatively brief, telling her only that the Xuzhou case had been concluded and that the hilltop and land had been sold to Huang Zhengqing in accordance with Mingjia's plan.

Although Chen Shao'ang did not mention issues such as the port and subsequent construction in his letter, Chen Shao'ang did not prevent Mingjia from purchasing wasteland and hills. This already illustrates a big problem.

Mingjia knew that the establishment of a port in Xuzhou must have been decided and would be announced soon.

Now that the port matter has been determined, the sale of patent medicines through the port can be put on the agenda.

In Huang Zhengqing's letter, he wrote down the location and area of ​​the wasteland and hills, as well as the current project progress and estimated completion time.

Rather than saying this is a letter, it is better to say this is Huang Zhengqing’s work report!

"Leaving Xuzhou's affairs to Huang Zhengqing is indeed the right thing to do."

Next year, the Panax notoginseng grown by Dianzhou itself will not be ready for use yet, but Mingjia is considering purchasing a batch of Panax notoginseng first to smoothen the process of processing and making medicine.

By the beginning of next spring at the latest, the news about the construction of a new port in Xuzhou will spread in the capital. I hope that Li Hansheng will not be suspicious of Ming Jia when he hears the news.

If Li Hansheng had doubts, then Mingjia would blame everything on Chen Shao'ang. Who made Uncle Shao'ang smart enough anyway?

Chen Shao'ang was the first Jinshi in the second class and was born in the Hanlin Academy.

Moreover, when the Xuzhou case is made known to the world, it will be no secret that Chen Shaoang is a person valued by the emperor. It seems that it will not be out of the ordinary for such a person to guess the Sacred Heart.

Mingjia thought she could write a letter to Uncle Shao'ang and congratulate him in advance on his promotion and salary increase.

As for the Cao family and Song family in Xuzhou, Ming Jia didn't think much about it anymore. Judging from the time, they probably started engaging in this illegal activity before the founding of the dynasty.

At that time, there were people behind the scenes who were supporting and protecting them. If we really want to pursue the case, there are only a few people with names and surnames in the capital now, and we can probably guess a thing or two by using the elimination method.

Pay attention to the news in Beijing, and see which company is investigated and dealt with by the end of the year at the latest.

Mingjia finished writing the letter to Chen Shaoang and then wrote another letter to Huang Zhengqing.

Mingjia told Huang Zhengqing that she was planning to start a medicine business in Dianzhou, and asked Huang Zhengqing to pay attention to medical clinics and drug stores in Dianzhou in his spare time.

After the collapse of the Cao family and the Song family, there will inevitably be many shops for sale in Xuzhou city. Huang Zhengqing can use some of the cost of building warehouses to buy a suitable shop in advance.

Mingjia mentally estimated that it had been more than a month since she returned from Cang'er County and wrote a letter to her master Xie Boyuan, so she expected to receive a reply from her master soon.

I wonder if the master will support her plan for the post of Dianzhou magistrate, which will affect whether she can recruit Yang Tingxuan to do the medicinal materials business together.

Ming Jia was thinking about when Master Xie Boyuan's reply would arrive in Dianzhou, and Shuang'er suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Master! Master Mingjia! Oh no, Miss Yan is injured!"

Mingjia stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"

Shuang'er didn't know the specific situation, but Chuanwu came on horseback to report the news.

Cheng Si asked Chuanwu to come back and report that Yan Niangzi encountered local gangsters on her way back to the city from Zhuangzi and suffered some injuries.

Mingjia turned to Shuang'er and said, "Get the car ready! I'm going to see Aunt Yan!"

"Hurry up and tell Granny Yan and Granny Shui that the news of the blockade should not be known to my mother."
