Chapter 268 The Long-mouthed 4th Master
Sometimes, no matter how close you are to someone, who can always guess what you want?
It might be possible for people with mutually tolerant personalities or parents like them, but it is basically impossible for two brothers with bad tempers to guess that the other needs to bow their heads, etc. at this moment!
The Fourth Master has finally learned to open his mouth. If Wen Yao were here, she would definitely say, at least the Fourth Master has finally grown a mouth. This is progress!
"If you want to follow me, then follow me this time," the Fourth Master looked at Yinzhen, "Ninth brother, let Fourteenth brother follow me."
"Okay, that's just for me to worry less," Yinzhen said he didn't care. He didn't want to share the cement with others. This piece was different from cowpox. The cowpox would have the greatest reputation in the future. The department newly created by the prince for the people would gain the greatest reputation at present. It had already spread among the people, and the prestige of the second prince had reached a new level!
Even now the voices of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty have become much smaller. Yinzhen feels that perhaps what his own Yaoyao said is right. The Han people have never chosen to rebel because those in power are not Han people, but only because they are treated too poorly and too unfairly.
Yinzhen no longer thought about this matter. It was not something he should think about now. Once the rule that close relatives could not marry was fully implemented, intermarriage between Manchus and Han people would gradually become a necessity!
In fact, the tasks in the hands of several brothers are all fame and prestige. Some of them are immediate and some require a long time to study. However, the cement that Yinzhen and his tenth brother got is the benefits and power that can be seen in a short time!
The cement thing will last a long time, maybe even decades or even hundreds of years. We can even develop better things, and then they will all belong to you!
He is currently in contact with major families, court officials and merchants in this area. It is indeed a great challenge. In just a few years, his network of contacts will be even wider than in his previous life!
Moreover, he and his tenth brother have connections all over the Qing Dynasty. As for getting silver from cement?
Why get it from cement?
He will not take a penny of the profits brought by cement and will give all of it to the national treasury, and the profits he will get will be based on all the stores opened in the places where cement is promoted. By then, his reputation and that of his daughter Yaoyao will drive all the stores!
Yinzhen glanced at Fourteenth Brother. As for wanting Fourteenth Brother to follow him just now, even if Fourteenth Brother wanted to follow him in the end, he would send Fourteenth Brother to Fourth Brother in the future. Only he and Tenth Brother were involved in the cement matter, and no one else could get involved!
This was something he had discussed with the Emperor when he took over the cement business. No matter what shady methods he used, it was already discussed, and he had full authority over the matter!
After all, this person can still be related to exchanges with other countries. Those are all his connections. If he does this well, he and his tenth brother's families will never have to worry about food and drink for generations to come. Even if they are rich and powerful, they will never become idle royal family members!
Although he will not fight for the position of crown prince, he will not give up the iron-hat kingship or power!
He knew very well that if he had no rights, even if he lived his life again, his life would be very difficult!
Freedom is something you can only desire after you have the power behind you!
Wen Yao was not interested in the conversation among the princes here. They kept talking about court affairs over and over again. In Wen Yao's opinion, it was no different from the work of a worker in her previous life!
She can already lie down, why should she exhaust herself!
impossible!
She has to learn how to lead a team, otherwise she will just exhaust herself. Why bother?
Wen Yao decisively refused to work hard. All kinds of running around and attending court sessions emerged in her mind. Although she was impressive, were the others just there to eat and do nothing?
Is it necessary to work yourself to death?
Why did she cling to all the big guys? Just to lie down, eat and wait for death. Now she has got it in just a few months!
The things in her records will be sent out slowly, but not yet. After all, all the brothers are busy now, and they have to be given time!
As for her own family, it was not that Wen Yao did not want to help, but since she had decided to cling to Kangxi, she could no longer give things to Dong'e's family. This was a big taboo!
Don't think that you can help your mother's family with the help of Kangxi by promoting them in time, but you can't hand over what you know about future generations to the Dong'e family!
Is Kangxi not that stingy?
Those in a higher position are sometimes very unreasonable. When they completely trust you, everything is good to them. But when they doubt you, all the good things will be tainted.
Wen Yao would not do anything that would destroy her own foundation. She decided from the beginning to follow the path of Kangxi, so she would not change her route halfway!
What's more, the key to the promotion of the family still lies with Kangxi. Gaining Kangxi's trust and promoting someone is just a matter of Kangxi's words!
That’s why Wen Yao would never do anything like sacrificing the big for the small!
At this moment, Wen Yao saw that all the dishes and pots in the kitchen were ready, so she asked Nanny Cui He to notify all the princes.
When the meal started, Wen Yao specially sent someone to the harem to call the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince. They naturally came as well. Wang would not let them miss such an opportunity to spend time with their brothers!
Wen Yao did not stop there, she also called all the princesses over, asking them to go to the study room and consult with their brothers, so naturally they all came!
And Wen Yao's status among the concubines in the harem rose a little, even among Concubine Uya. At this moment, at Concubine Uya's place in Yonghe Palace, Uya was looking at the sky falling, slightly dazed.
"Yizhi, why do you think Concubine Yi is always so lucky? First she had the emperor's reckless favor, then the empress dowager raised the fifth prince, she had the support of the empress dowager's lineage in the harem, and now even her daughter-in-law is so promising," Concubine Wu Ya was a little confused. She spent all her energy to strive for it, and finally she got the position of concubine!
In her confusion, she was once again filled with reluctance. Concubine Wu Ya would not give up fighting. She had already lost two sons. If she did not fight again, there would not be a single word about her in the future generations!
All sons belong to you, no one can take them away from you!
Even if she couldn't get it back, she wanted the entire Qing Dynasty to remember her, Uya, one of the four concubines!
Yizhi stood beside his master and said, "Master, Concubine Yi has a daughter-in-law, the Fifth Lady."
"She? That has nothing to do with Concubine Yi. The Fifth Concubine was given to the Fifth Beile by the Emperor. Ha... It was purely because of the Khorchin lineage," Concubine Wu Ya chuckled. "Concubine Yi was involved in the selection of the Ninth Concubine. Concubine Yi had no involvement in the Fifth Concubine, and she will not participate either!"
Concubine Yi is a smart person. She won't care about it. She doesn't dare to and she won't!
"What's more," Concubine Wu Ya looked at Yi Zhi beside her, "Do you think that the Fifth Lady is holding Concubine Yi back? Ha... then you are wrong. With the Fifth Lady around, the Emperor will always feel guilty towards Concubine Yi and the Fifth Prince. Concubine Yi will handle it well. As long as the Fifth Prince handles this balance well, it will only take time for him to become a prince!"
