Chapter 517 Huo·Titan·ze·Ingenious plan·Lin
Ming Jia's birthday is coming soon, and the motorcade sending New Year's gifts from Beijing has also arrived!
This year is the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and all the guards of the Duke's Mansion have been seconded for duty. However, this year Xie Boyuan returned to the capital with his old methods.
Therefore, the people who come to the capital to give New Year gifts this year are people arranged by Lao Lu. Ming Jun and Ming Jia are also familiar with them, and they were the guards who escorted Ming Jia to Dianzhou.
"These uncles are all acquaintances. Let's arrange to be stationed directly at Da Liu's caravan!"
Ming Jia and Xiao Qingshan discussed the arrangements for this group of people. They were not comfortable staying in the government office. They would be more comfortable living with Da Liu!
"Okay! Did they return to the capital years ago?"
"After the new year, I will escort my eldest brother and me back to the capital!"
Xiao Qingshan heard that this group of people would stay until the end of the year, and he instantly felt relieved.
"Okay! You and your brother can watch the reception!"
Xiao Qingshan called Ming Jia over this time because he had other things to ask.
"Have you read the gift list sent this time?"
Xiao Qingshan chatted with Mingjia seemingly casually and asked about the new year gift that had just been delivered.
Mingjia: "..."
"Dad, do you think I am so stingy?"
This year, whether it is Xie Boyuan's New Year's gift or Li Hansheng's New Year's gift, it is obvious that they are all prepared for the eldest brother Mingjun, and all the things sent are in pairs.
Ming Jia wouldn't think it was unfair, and both Master and Uncle Li prepared birthday gifts for themselves individually.
Xiao Qingshan was suddenly aware of his daughter's thoughts and touched his nose in embarrassment. He also wanted to care about his daughter.
However, Mingjia usually met his parents with his brother, and rarely met Xiao Qingshan alone. Mingjia wanted to take this opportunity to talk about something else.
"Dad, do you know where Uncle Liu's caravan is stationed?"
"Yeah~! Got it! What's wrong?"
"There is a man named Huo who is recovering from his injuries there recently. After the new year, Uncle Yang will return to Beijing, and my eldest brother and I will also leave together!"
"If you encounter difficulties, especially when dealing with various tribes, you can ask Huo!"
Ming Jia's tone was very casual, as if she looked down on Huo Zelin.
Xiao Qingshan doesn't think it's embarrassing at all that his daughter doesn't trust him and leaves him a "good idea"!
Xiao Qingshan's focus is: Is this person smart?
"Does this guy have some skills?"
Xiao Qingshan suddenly expressed interest in his tone and leaned towards Ming Jia.
Mingjia: "..."
Mingjia assessed Huo Zelin's intelligence level in his mind, and it should be said that it was indeed pretty good. However, if he thought so in his heart, Mingjia would not say so!
"It's just... you can still watch it!"
As soon as Xiao Qingshan heard his daughter's evaluation, he knew that this man must have some ability and had offended his daughter.
After Ming Jia finished her evaluation of Huo Zelin, she remembered Huo Zelin's several calculations and couldn't help but remind Xiao Qingshan.
"Dad, be careful when you come into contact with that person named Huo, don't let him betray you!"
"I don't want to come back next fall and have to redeem you from him!"
Ming Jia considered leaving Huo Zelin to Xiao Qingshan as a first aid, but was also influenced by Chi Hua.
Chi Hua has been using his imagination every day recently. He can always imagine various unexpected situations and then think about how to solve them.
Because Ming Jia stipulated to Chi Hua that for every idea Chi Hua had, he had to come up with a solution first, and then bring it up to everyone to discuss whether it was reasonable.
In fact, Chi Hua is already able to manage Herbal Medicine Zhuangzi and Zhiqulou independently, and there are several stewards to share the work!
From the problems Chi Hua conceived and the solutions he came up with, we found that Chi Hua just wanted to make himself feel more at ease!
Mingjia understood that Chi Hua was unsure, and always wanted to leave himself a plan to deal with emergencies.
Therefore, Mingjia thought of Xiao Qingshan. Xiao Qingshan would be in charge of a state independently next year. Mingjia was also worried that his father would be in trouble.
After much thought, Mingjia decided to leave a "reassurance pill" for Xiao Qingshan. Although it may not be useful, it can also make Xiao Qingshan feel more at ease.
"Dad, let me tell you the truth, that guy named Huo is somewhat capable, but if you can do without him, then don't use him!"
"Yeah! I know that I won't use him easily!"
After receiving Xiao Qingshan's affirmative reply, Mingjia felt relieved and got up to go back and continue writing!
Things in Dianzhou have been arranged, but Mingjia hasn't finished explaining things in Xuzhou yet!
Among all the shopkeepers, Huang Zhengqing has the heaviest burden. The logistics transfer center near Xuzhou Port involves most of Huang Zhengqing's energy.
Fortunately, Chen Shao'ang was there in Xuzhou, otherwise Huang Zhengqing wouldn't be able to hold such a large piece of land.
After Ming Jun was busy with the two Zhuangzi affairs, he rarely left the government office. After asking Ming Jia about his arrangements, he concentrated on studying and preparing for the exam.
Yang Tingxuan only needs to finish processing the last official documents from this year's government office, seal them and hand them over to Xiao Qingshan, and then he will be completely relaxed and free of any errands.
As a result, Yang Tingxuan began to frequent Ming Jun's study, euphemistically urging Ming Jun to study.
However, Mingjun and Mingjia spend most of their time in the same study room. After all, Mingjun has too few books in his own study room.
Yang Tingxuan ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and sat at the round table in the middle of the study. He didn't need any servants to wait on him, so he just drank it by himself!
The more Yang Tingxuan looks at Mingjun and Mingjia, the more he likes them!
[These two children are really able to settle down and study! 】
In fact, the Xiao brothers and sisters are very accustomed to the current model, each occupying half of the study room, and they are busy in their own way without disturbing each other.
But this way of getting along makes Yang Tingxuan, who comes from a wealthy family and has been competing for resources since he was a child, really envious and incomprehensible!
Yang Tingxuan saw Mingjia settling accounts and checking the account books more than once. Every time he saw Yang Tingxuan, he felt incredible.
Moreover, Yang Tingxuan discovered that the way Ming Jia flipped through the account books with one hand and calculated the calculations in front of others was actually a state of reservation.
Because in this study room, Yang Tingxuan saw with his own eyes Mingjia flipping through the account books with one hand and writing and drawing on the paper with a pen in the other hand, calculating the accounts faster than her abacus.
Yang Tingxuan no longer feels that Mingjia is wasting his talent in business.
Because after Ming Jia learned that Yang Tingxuan had sent people to Qu County and confused Huang Jiawen with her, she took the initiative to talk to Yang Tingxuan.
"Uncle Yang, I have a talent for reading, but I also have a talent for business!"
"The resources of the Xiao family are limited. Blindly relying on external forces for development will only limit our development!"
"My brother is pursuing an official career, and I am doing business to make money. This is the fastest and most secure way for the Xiao family to start a business!"
"Besides, my personality is indeed not suitable for officialdom!"
Mingjia explained the Xiao family's predicament and solution in a straightforward manner, without any hint of inferiority due to the family's weakness.
However, Ming Jia firmly believes that the Xiao family is just weak now. If the Xiao family is given a few more years, the Xiao family will soon be on the rise.
Yang Tingxuan followed Ming Jia's words and imagined the future of the Xiao family.
Ming Jun must become an official, and he must have real power and be trusted by the emperor.
Mingjia's success in business can be guessed based on the taxes Mingjia paid in Dianzhou in the past few years.
By the way, there is another Mingxi in the Xiao family!
