Yinzhen said helplessly, "Actually, the Qing Dynasty is not short of money now."

Yunrong: "Of course I know we don't lack money, but it's always better to have more money than less. Besides, all this money will eventually be invested in infrastructure. Think about it carefully and do the math. There will be many places where we'll need money in the future. The little money coming in from the national treasury won't be enough."

After careful consideration, Yinzhen realized that it was true; the national treasury was indeed short of funds.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

Yunrong knew that Yinzhen was joking with her, which could be considered a little playful moment between the couple.

So he smiled and replied, "Don't mention it."

With the support of his superiors, Wu Yiming's "ideal" was easily realized. With the cooperation of the Imperial Household Department, he quickly found many skilled craftsmen.

Wu Yiming was not surprised by this. She knew that the emperor had ambitions and that what she was doing was beneficial to the country, so he would not refuse her.

However, she was somewhat bewildered when she received a box of prescriptions from the Empress.

Yes, it's just a box.

A small wooden box for storing jewelry, the whole box was filled to the brim.

Although ancient characters take up space, a whole box of recipes is indeed enough.

It contained perfume recipes, how to extract essences from plant flowers and leaves, how to purify alcohol, fruit wine recipes, wine recipes, cigarette recipes, shampoo recipes, face cream recipes, and recipes for all kinds of cosmetics... It had everything, making it dazzling and overwhelming for Wu Yiming.

Wu Yiming was truly surprised that the Empress would give her such a generous gift. Knowing that there is no such thing as a free lunch, she quickly negotiated the distribution of benefits with the Imperial Household Department.

Of course, although she was given these prescriptions, she didn't actually receive much money in the end. Even if Yinzhen and Yunrong dared to give them, Wu Yiming wouldn't dare to ask for so much money.

Besides, without royal support, she was all alone, with no background, and even if she had ideas, she wouldn't have the ability to realize them.

So in the end she only took half of the profits.

Don't underestimate this half-percent profit. After all, the scale of these prescriptions is definitely huge. Half a hundred taels is five taels, but half a ten million taels of silver is five hundred thousand taels for me.

With the country as her backing, Wu Yiming is now full of ambition. She feels that she should not only do business throughout the Qing Dynasty, but also expand her business abroad.
