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

In the winter of the fourth year of Guangde, a new business suddenly appeared in the capital, called Minzhou Seafood Flagship Store.

The two connected small buildings are both two-story shops with a full range of seafood and a very ingenious business model.

The small building on the east side is only responsible for selling goods. The first floor sells mostly common seafood, while the second floor sells high-end rare seafood.

The small building on the west side is a seafood restaurant. Unlike ordinary restaurants, the first floor does not have a singing stage, but instead has a stove where seafood cooking performances are often held.

Many diners like to buy ingredients from the shop in the east and take them directly to the restaurant in the west to have the kitchen prepare them into dishes immediately.

As for the second floor, there are naturally some high-end private rooms. Since they are high-end private rooms, there are privileges of ordering dishes and customization. Rare and high-end seafood can be booked according to the picture album.

For a time, meeting with friends to go to Minzhou Seafood to eat seafood became a trendy way for young men in Beijing to get together.

The Minzhou Seafood Flagship Store took the opportunity to launch a membership points system, whereby all customers, regardless of their status, enjoy priority ordering rights based solely on their points.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, several seafood gift boxes of different grades have been launched, and the slogan "Giving New Year gifts means giving Fujian seafood" has been launched.

All of a sudden, the purchasing officials in various prefectures in the capital were very busy. They all rushed to the Minzhou seafood store to order seafood gift boxes. In order to show off their status and wealth, many prefectures only purchased the highest-end gift boxes.

Xie Zhiqiu brought Han An past the Minzhou Seafood Store. Seeing the carriages from various mansions parked at the door, she couldn't help but complain to Han An:

"Xiao Mingjia didn't even invest in this seafood store. I guess Xiao Mingjia regrets it a lot!"

Does Xiao Mingjia regret it?

I feel so regretful that my intestines are blue!

What Xiao Mingjia regretted was not that she did not participate in the seafood business, but that she spared Huo Zelin's life, because the subsequent membership system and seafood gift boxes were all Huo Zelin's ideas.

"I have to thank Master Mingjia for reminding me. I also followed the membership system of Shiqulou and the business model of the patent medicine business!"

Xiao Qingshan actually couldn't figure it out. Huo Zelin would get beaten every time he angered Mingjia, so why did Huo Zelin still enjoy irritating Mingjia?

As Huo Zelin's direct superior, Xiao Qingshan tried to save Huo Zelin several times, but finally found that Huo Zelin didn't seem to need his rescue.

The owners of the six major seafood businesses in Minzhou have been living a very comfortable life recently. It can be said that they can just sit at home and count their money.

These six owners have completely forgotten how they had to scratch their heads and have a headache over stocking the goods before the Beijing Seafood Store opened, especially since many of the goods were purchased with their own money.

Mingjia once boasted that he would recoup his investment in the first year and make a profit in the second year. Now, he has recoup his investment and started to make a profit in just a few months.

To this end, the owners of the six businesses approached Mingjia privately and expressed their willingness to continue cooperation if there were suitable industries.

Mingjia said that she only wanted to sell herbal tea!

In the summer of the fifth year of Guangde, Emperor Liang Jingchen received a secret memorial from Sun Jun, the co-governor of Huizhou, through Duke Li Hansheng, pointing out that there were major problems with the salt tax in Huizhou and several surrounding prefectures.

A month later, Mingjun and six other editors of the Hanlin Academy were sent out of the capital ahead of schedule. The seven editors were transferred to local government offices and served as grassroots officials.

It seems that it did not attract much attention, but some people still found some clues. After all, the identities and backgrounds of the seven editors are all impressive.

Emperor Liang has been placing more emphasis on children from poor families in recent years, so this move was really unexpected. The old fox who has been in the court for many years is still very perceptive.

The emperor had investigated Sun Jun before employing him, so he was naturally very clear about the relationship between Sun Jun and the Xiao family and Li Hansheng. Moreover, the guards around Ming Jun were quite capable.

Mingjun's task was to assist Sun Jun in thoroughly investigating the salt tax in Huizhou and find strong evidence of corruption.

Less than two months after Mingjun left Beijing, Mingjia received a pigeon message from his brother asking for help, urgently needing a group of accountants to help check the accounts.

Mingjia urgently dispatched personnel and at the same time worried about his brother's safety, so he decided to lead people north to Huizhou himself.

Huang Zhengqing is not young anymore and is not suitable for long-distance travel, but Chi Hua can!

When Chi Hua passed through Suzhou with the accounting team he had trained in Dianzhou, he called his two nephews for help.

After arriving in Huizhou, Chi Hua led people to assist Sun Jun in checking the accounts, while Mingjia and his brother separately checked the officials and their families in Huizhou.

We had originally thought that the case could be investigated before the end of the year, but the scope of the case was so wide and the time span was so long that the investigation proved more difficult than we had expected, and all rhythms were disrupted.

During the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Guangde, Mingjia and his brother Mingjun spent it at Sun Jun's home in Huizhou. Sun Jun and his wife warmly entertained the Xiao brothers and sisters.

Sun Juan's wife was from Huizhou. She was a gentle and kind lady. She treated the Xiao brothers and sisters as the sons of her husband's old friends and took great care of them.

While staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Mingjun drank a few more glasses with Sun Jun, and under the influence of alcohol, he recalled the days when he was preparing for the exam in Qingzhou.

"Back then, I always thought I was quite talented, but God was unfair! My path to study and the imperial examinations was not smooth, until I saw Mingjun's talent and hard work..."

Mingjun has actually always admired Uncle Sun Jun. After all, Sun Jun really relied on himself all the way. He had no famous teachers and no good resources. He was a real second place winner.

Mingjun suddenly found it very novel that he didn't expect that he had shocked Uncle Sun Jun when he was studying.

Mingjia was eating his food seriously, but he didn't forget to pout, indicating that he couldn't stand the modesty among these academic masters.

In the spring of the sixth year of Guangde, the salt tax corruption case in Huizhou, Yuzhou and Ganzhou was investigated, and the huge amount of money involved made Emperor Liang furious.

Most of the officials in the three connected states were implicated, even a number of officials who had already been promoted were implicated. For a time, all the officials in the court felt insecure.

Both Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Personnel and Shangshu Su of the Ministry of Revenue were responsible for lax supervision. Although many officials pleaded for them, they were both demoted from the capital after several arguments.

Too many officials were dismissed in this salt tax case. In order to prevent any of them from slipping through the net, all relevant officials need to be transferred.

The candidate for the new Minister of Personnel has been undecided for a long time. This position, which has been closely watched by countless people, has suddenly become a hot potato.

Taking advantage of this turmoil, Sun Jun was also "demoted" to Qiongzhou. Mingjia expressed great sympathy for Sun Jun.

There are actually border guards in Daliang who are even more miserable than Xiao Qingshan. The Emperor of Liang really makes the best use of his loyal ministers!

Ming Jun also could not stay in Huizhou. Xie Boyuan was in the capital and could guess Emperor Liang's thoughts a little better.

"I think Xiao Qingshan is managing Minzhou very well. Xiao Mingjun is Xiao Qingshan's son, so he should be able to pass on some experience!"

"Humph! The Master will choose a place for him to go!"

"Hey, after all, I am someone's master too!"

Xie Boyuan's tone was light-hearted and teasing, but he was actually reminding the emperor: "You are also a senior brother!"

In the summer of the sixth year of Guangde, Mingjun was transferred to Xuzhou Salt and Iron Bureau as a sixth-rank director, and he went to Xuzhou with his wife Yang Jinglan.
