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

The weather in Minzhou is a huge test for everyone in the Xiao family who have just arrived in Minzhou.

Mingjia even had the idea of ​​returning to Dianzhou to escape the summer heat, but in fact it was mainly to avoid the humidity because it was too humid.

Not only Mingjia couldn't bear it, Chi Hua was also scratching his head. Some of their books were purchased locally and some were shipped from Dianzhou, but now they were all damp.

"Master Mingjia, when the weather is good, we need to find more people to help move the books out and dry them!"

"Looking for such an elegant activity, count me in!"

Later, Mingjia only went to help with the move once, and almost couldn't get out of bed the next day. Shisan, Shishi, and even Hanyan were all exhausted!

"Chi Hua, why don't we put the Shiqu Building aside for now and turn it into a medicine store. I think I need some anti-heat medicine to stay alive!"

Everyone in the Xiao family has their own things to do and everyone is very busy, but no matter how busy they are, they always have dinner together.

Mingjia noticed that his parents had lost a lot of weight, and the little weight he had gained over the Chinese New Year was gone. Mingxi was the only one in the family who still had a chubby face.

"Dad~Mom~! Let's buy some ice! At least we can sleep well. The money won't go into the public account, I'll take care of it!"

"Why would you need your money? Ice from Fujian is in short supply. A lot of it was ordered last year. If you want to buy it this year, you'll have to think hard!"

For the first time, Mingjia felt the frustration of having money but not being able to spend it!

After enduring for another two days, Mingjia couldn't bear it anymore and went to find Hanyan.

"Han Yan, do you have any pigeons to deliver news to the capital?"

"Yes, but it can only be passed on to Commander Shen's residence!"

"Okay, lend me one!"

Mingjia doesn't know the ancient method of making ice, but Xie Zhiqiu, who graduated from science and engineering, should know it. This is not an ordinary carrier pigeon, it carries many of Mingjia's hopes.

Half a month later, Shen Qing looked at the carrier pigeon flying from Minzhou. After catching it and opening it, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Shen Qing, help me ask Xie Zhiqiu how to make ice, urgent! Xiao Mingjia!"

The technical college in the capital has been built. The biggest problem now is to hire teachers, after all, craftsmen are passed down from generation to generation in the family.

When he was worrying about how to break through, Shen Qing took the initiative to find Xie Zhiqiu.

Shen Qing promised to help Xie Zhiqiu find an ironwork master, and Xie Zhiqiu gave Shen Qing the method of making ice.

Shen Qing didn't quite understand what Xie Zhiqiu was talking about, such as the method of making ice by adding saltpeter to water to absorb heat, but he needed to clarify some doubts with Xie Zhiqiu.

"Can the method you mentioned be used in other places? For example, Minzhou is very hot, can it also be used to make ice by absorbing heat?"

"Minzhou? Are you asking for Xiao Mingjia?"

"how do you know?"

Xie Zhiqiu smiled bitterly. She had said before that it was strange how Shen Qing knew that she could make ice.

However, now thinking about Shen Qing’s behavior again...something seems to be wrong!

"If you had told Mingjia about this earlier, I would have just given you the solution!"

"Such a miraculous method of making ice must be the secret recipe that Madam Xie treasures. How can Shen forcefully demand it?"

Xie Zhiqiu could hardly suppress the smile on her lips. Who said it was for him? She had just said it was for Mingjia!

"It's okay! I'd love to give it to Mingjia!"

"It's not right for Mingjia to act like this. She is young and doesn't understand this!"

Xie Zhiqiu raised her eyebrows. She was a little confused now. From what Shen Qing said, it seemed like they were closely related!

Forget it. Anyway, she got a metalwork master for free. Xie Zhiqiu thought she could ask Mingjia about other matters later.

Mingjia doesn't just eat, sleep and beat her younger brother at home. She is also responsible for helping her father with the accounts and organizing the information about Minzhou.

Looking at the situation in Minzhou and thinking of what his father had told him about the Qinzheng Palace, Mingjia became even more upset.

[Father and son of the Heavenly Family, you are so cruel! ]

Mingjia's style of doing things is not that of a person who follows rules. If he encounters an unexpected situation or gets angry all of a sudden, Mingjia will do things even more unruly.

For example, now Mingjia feels that if he wants to drive the economic development of Minzhou, he cannot rely solely on Minzhou’s own efforts, and it is even more impossible to rely solely on the Xiao family.

We have to find a way to borrow the power of the father and son from the Tian family, otherwise we will be sorry for their care for the Xiao family!

While Mingjia was trying to find a solution, Xiao Qingshan was also trying to understand the situation in Minzhou. After two months, he lost a lot of weight and became several shades darker.

Fortunately, Mingjia received a letter from the capital, and after several failed tests, he finally succeeded in making ice.

By placing an ice basin in the bedroom at night, the Xiao family can at least sleep well, and their overall spirits are much better.

Mingjia barely adapted to the temperature in Minzhou and forced himself to adjust his daily routine. Now he can go out to Shiqulou early in the morning.

There is a separate large room in the Shiqu Building, which is reserved for Mingjia to use as a workshop. Mingjia had a large desk customized for him.

Mingjia sat in the workshop, flipping through the annals of Minzhou, which was simply a list of natural disasters in the south.

[My head hurts! I have to think of a way to get the father and son in the capital to participate! ]

The more Mingjia looked at the information, the more confused he became. It would be great if Liang Shengrui could just draw a circle on the map.

Then... Mingjia, who was extremely irritated, suddenly felt that this idea was worth thinking about!

……

Recently, Xiao Qingshan and Xiao Mingjia, father and daughter, often quarreled because they were competing for Dong's free time.

"Mom! Let's go shopping together! I want to see the shop selling dried seafood!"

"Take your little translator with you! Your mother is accompanying me to Liu Buzheng's house for a tea party today!"

"Dad, when Mom and you go to the tea party, men and women have to sit separately, and she can't translate for you!"

Neither Xiao Qingshan nor Mingjia gave in, and finally Mingjia made concessions. There was nothing he could do about it because he was his biological father!

In the end... Mingjia had no choice but to take Hanyan out!

After arriving in Minzhou, Thirteen and Fourteen were sent out on errands by Mingjia, leaving only Hanyan as a guard by Mingjia's side.

Mingjia now wants to do seafood business, and on a large scale. There are a lot of things that need to be investigated and prepared in the early stages, so all the people who can be sent out have been sent out.

Originally, Han Yan said that she could help find people, but Ming Jia received the gossip letter from Xie Zhi Qiu and thought it would be better not to use people from the Shen family easily.

In the Minzhou area, there were not many people in the Taifu Mansion and the Li Guogong Mansion. Finally, Mingjia thought of the person mentioned in Li Hansheng's letter - Chief of Staff Hu of Minzhou.

Mingjia’s request was simple, he just wanted manpower, and people who understood Minzhou dialect and Mandarin and were very familiar with Minzhou.

Along with Li Hansheng's business card, there was also a gift list. Mingjia was never stingy with gifts, and he might need help a lot after arriving in Minzhou.

Staff Officer Hu was not able to meet Mingjia, but he quickly sent the person Mingjia needed and asked someone to deliver a message.

"If we don't have enough manpower, we can send more!"
