Yinzhen personally painted a big picture for the craftsmen and rewarded them with a sum of money.

Then they can be assigned to do things.

First, they got some real money, enough for the craftsmen to take home and ensure that their families would have enough food and drink for the next two years.

Only then can they work for the court without any worries.

Su Peisheng led the eunuchs and distributed the money bags prepared in advance to the craftsmen present one by one.

When they got the money, they looked even more excited than before. Some of them had red faces and thick necks, and they couldn't wait to go to work.

On the surface, Yunli was in charge of finding someone, but in fact, Xia Yi, who was sent by Yinzhen, was secretly supervising the task.

By the way, search those people's assets to see if they are clean.

This is why Yinzhen dared to use them without hesitation.

Yinxiang and Yunli both knew the plan for the factory that Yinzhen mentioned.

It was precisely because of the plan to build a formal factory that Yinxiang worked so hard to find corrupt officials and prepare to get some start-up capital.

There was a previous record of corrupt officials having their property confiscated and their families exterminated.

Those corrupt officials are afraid of death, so they have restrained their small actions a lot.

Like a rat in the gutter, trying hard to hide its exposed tail.

Little did they know that Yinzhen had ruled them in previous generations and had been dealing with officials all his life. He didn't even need to check who was the corrupt official; he could catch them all without any hesitation.

Yinxiang only needs to focus on the people on the list and set up a tight net. As long as there is evidence, he can strike accurately.

Speaking of which, cracking down on corrupt officials is really a good way to earn a huge amount of money!

Yinzhen liked it very much.

Of course, in addition to arresting corrupt officials, Yinzhen also improved the Qing Dynasty's main money-making industry.

For example, salt. The salt industry has always been controlled by the government. Both humans and animals need salt supplements.

It is the hard currency of both nature and the human world.

Even the poorest families have to grit their teeth to buy salt, so you can imagine how profitable this industry is.

Among the corrupt officials arrested by Yinxiang was one from the salt industry, and that wave of arrests really enriched the national treasury.

Yinzhen took the opportunity to fill the position with people he trusted and regained control of the salt industry. At least now no one dared to openly embezzle so much.

Yinzhen, Yinxiang, and Yunli began to talk about the shipbuilding factory and the start-up capital.

At the beginning, there are a lot of things to do, and they are in full charge, so there is a lot to talk about.

After the morning court session, Yinzhen and Yinxiang took a carriage to look for Yunli. Even so, the three of them still chatted for a whole day.

I was able to circle out the things that needed attention.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang both had lunch and dinner here.

The food here is similar to that in the imperial kitchen—

Mainly because Yunzhi worked too hard, Yinzhen wanted to comfort his younger brother, so he assigned two chefs from the imperial kitchen to take care of Yunzhi's spleen and stomach.

Thanks to Yinzhen's medical treatment, Yunli now enjoys eating and is in great health.

As it grew darker, Yinzhen and Yinxiang finally said goodbye.

Yunli personally sent the two of them to the door, reluctant to part with them.

Fourth brother and thirteenth brother were too busy and rarely came to visit him. Today, it was a rare occasion that they came to visit together, and Yunzhi felt very happy.

It’s like going back to the time when I was a child.

At that time, he did not break up with his brothers. Even though there were occasional frictions, on the surface, there was still family affection.

Yinzhen saw that Yunli, who was thirty years old, still had a childlike expression, as if a child was reluctant to see his friend go home.

It was rare for Yinzhen to soften his heart. The current Fourteenth Master had been taught by him and was quite pleasing to the eye. He was much better than the original owner remembered.

He reached out and patted Yunli on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Fourteen, study hard and contribute to the construction of the Qing Dynasty next year."

Yunzhi was patted by his fourth brother like this, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and was very excited: "Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The first thing Yinzhen did was to wash up.

The official from the Imperial Household Department came forward with a green sign, bowed respectfully and raised the sign: "Your Majesty, please turn over the sign~"

Turning the cards is a fixed process, which also makes it convenient for Yinzhen to remember whose turn it is.

For example, tonight, it is An Lingrong's turn.

Yinzhen summoned people to sleep with him very regularly, only a few times a month. The last time it was An Lingrong's turn was a month ago.

Yinzhen had always had a poor memory, so he would write down everything that mattered. The Jingshifang's records of sleeping arrangements came in handy for him.

Scanning through the green-headed cards, Yinzhen accurately saw An Changzai's green-headed card and then turned it over.

The young eunuch diligently recorded that the emperor had summoned An Changzai to sleep with him.

Su Peisheng has always been very diligent in his work. Even the unfavored concubines would be treated with a normal attitude, not to mention that there is no unfavored concubine in the harem nowadays.

After receiving the task, Su Peisheng hurriedly led his apprentice and a group of eunuchs to inform the other party that An Lingrong had been chosen so that they could make preparations.

When An Lingrong did not have the opportunity to sleep with the emperor, she liked to stay in the Suiyuxuan, embroidering or studying, or walk around in the Imperial Garden with Xia Dongchun and communicate with them.

Since the new Ministry of Internal Affairs took office, it has been fair to everyone.

The people in the imperial kitchen did not dare to act recklessly, and Concubine Hua was also warned by the emperor not to give any special treatment to the concubines without permission.

As an ordinary concubine under the protection of imperial power, An Lingrong now lives a leisurely and comfortable life.

It was completely different from what she had imagined before entering the palace, that she would have to work hard to climb up the ladder to live a good life...

When Fang Ruo was teaching An Lingrong before, for the emperor's sake, she would sometimes tell An Lingrong some stories from the previous dynasty.

An Lingrong knew some secrets, secrets that had frightened her in the past, but they had never happened.

An Lingrong's mentality is becoming more and more stable, and she is slowly saying goodbye to her timid and sensitive self.

When Su Peisheng came to inform her to sleep with him, An Lingrong was not frightened as she was at first, but was filled with joy. She gave Chundie a wink.

Chundie quickly took out her purse and gave it to Su Peisheng as a reward.

The amount of money is not much, which is a standard for reward.

Su Peisheng doesn't dare to be greedy now, for fear that the emperor will suddenly take a fancy to his small treasury one day, so he is happy even if the reward is small.

Su Peisheng thanked her with a smile, and after some hesitation, he politely declined An Lingrong's offer to invite him for tea, saying he had something else to do.

Interpersonal relationships are all about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

With the reward in his pocket, Su Peisheng left An Lingrong's palace, and his slightly bent back straightened instantly.

He looked up at the moonlight and felt that his life now seemed pretty good.

It was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't have to worry about accidentally getting involved in the fights among concubines and getting himself into trouble.

"Look at my complexion. Am I okay?" An Lingrong came to the bronze mirror and carefully checked her face in the light.

When serving the emperor in bed, one had to be carefully washed all over the body under the supervision of a group of palace maids, and then be rolled up in the quilt like a cicada pupa. One was not allowed to dress up or put on makeup at all.

At this time, if you want to leave a good impression in front of the emperor, you have to rely on your natural beauty.
