After Kangxi figured this out, when he looked at Yinreng again, the well-hidden defensiveness in his eyes quietly disappeared.

"How much does this glass window cost?"

Upon hearing this, Yinreng did not answer, but first looked at the people surrounding him, the meaning was self-evident.

Kangxi waved his hand to drive away the servants who were waiting beside him, and then Yinreng said,

"The materials used to make this transparent glass are common, but removing impurities from the material requires a lot of labor. Furthermore, glass is fragile, and transportation is also a significant problem."

After Yinreng revealed the recipe for transparent glass to Kangxi, Kangxi narrowed his eyes.

He finally understood why Yinreng asked him to send his attendants away.

Even including the labor cost, the cost of this glass is not very high.

In his eyes, labor is actually the least valuable.

"What do you want to do?"

This glass window is a novel object. Considering the nobles in Beijing are particular about the pomp and circumstance of everything they do, there will be no problem selling the glass window.

What he wanted to know now was how Yinreng wanted to distribute the benefits.

"My son thinks we can make this thing the private property of the royal family, but we have to disguise it as a wealthy merchant. Ninth brother can be the one who supports the wealthy merchant. If this wealthy merchant can also disguise himself as a foreigner, then the nobles in the capital will definitely be more eager to buy it..."

As Yinreng spoke, he looked at Yin'er, who looked eager to try.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

In fact, it is also possible to register the glass under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but if it is done that way, the business will be completely Kangxi's property. If Yinreng wants to transfer money from it, he will have to see Kangxi's mood.

He would only build up assets for the old man when he has nothing to do!

Kangxi: “…”

He thought Yinreng's methods of cheating foreigners were cruel enough, but he didn't expect that he was even more cruel in cheating his own people.

"You use such means to make money from nobles, aren't you afraid that they will find out and impeach you?"

Kangxi was somewhat unhappy. Most of the nobles were Manchus. He had no objection to Yinreng making money, but he couldn't do it too much. Looking back a few generations, which noble family had no relatives with the royal family?

Without it, you can't become a noble.

"So what if they found out? If my son denies it, can they arrest him and torture him? Father Emperor, money is only money when it's in circulation. Anything that's not in circulation is just a pile of waste, gathering dust in a warehouse!"

Yinreng didn't take it seriously.

"My son creates conditions for them to spend money. Once they spend it, they will find ways to make money elsewhere. This cycle is wealth."

In fact, even if he didn't take money out of the pockets of the nobles, the nobles would not give up squeezing the money of the lower-class people.

And the money he saves will eventually be spent on the people. This is what is called taking from the people and using it for the people.

Yinzhen pondered these words carefully, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

So high!

I didn’t expect that my second brother is also a business expert.

Why hadn't he noticed it before?

Kangxi pondered for a moment and asked again,

"Since you've decided to turn this business into royal property, how will the profits be divided?"

"Ninth brother will be in charge of production and sales, so he should get half of the profits. My son also deserves half of the profits since he came up with the recipe. Since the Ministry of Industry will need to spend money on research in the future, 30% will be allocated to the Ministry of Industry as funding. The rest is up to you to decide."

Half done?

Kangxi was a little surprised, but then he thought of Yinreng's lazy nature, and those treasures would probably gather dust in Yuqing Palace.

Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he caught a glimpse of Yin'er's distorted expression, and then he began to speak from his heart -

"I only took half of it, and you're still not satisfied. You're greedy!"

Kangxi: “…”

He looked carefully and found that Yinreng's hand reached behind Yin'er. Kangxi was speechless. It turned out that there was someone else who was greedy.

After this little episode, Kangxi never mentioned it again and quickly divided up the remaining 60%.

Twenty percent went into his private treasury, one percent went to the Ministry of Clan Affairs, the remaining twenty percent was used to repair the imperial palace, and one percent was distributed among the princes.

As for the princes who had not yet left the palace to set up their own residences, Kangxi decided to keep the money for them first, and then distribute the silver to them after they set up their own residences.

“No!”

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Yinzhen expressed strong opposition. What a joke! He hadn't even established his own government yet. If the emperor did this, wouldn't all his work be in vain and he wouldn't even get a penny of silver in the end?

This is working for nothing!

Even Zhou Paopi is not so cruel!

"Whether it succeeds or not, you have no say!"

Kangxi made the final decision.

"You are unreasonable, Father Emperor!"

Yinzhen was furious on the spot.

"If you do this, my son won't do it!"

Kangxi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!"

After saying this, he turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision...

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment.

What's the meaning? !

What does this mean, Father Huang?

He thought so and asked this question, and Yinreng was speechless.

"It means you're kicked out!"

What are you doing? It's no use just listening to the old man's arrangements. You have to bargain.

The old man has such a bad temper, how can a little brat like you threaten him?

He didn't drag you out and beat you up because he was in a good mood today.

Yinreng looked at Yin'er, who looked like he had been struck by lightning, and sighed deeply in his heart.

He doesn't trust anyone else in charge of this business except this kid.

There's no other reason. The glass recipe is not something with high technical content. Once someone gets a glimpse of it, the glass window business will be gone.

Yinzhen was very cruel. If anyone dared to lay his hands on his property, he would find a way to chop off that person's claws. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Yinzhen was the most suitable person to control this business.

Yinreng resigned himself to his fate and ran to Kangxi to plead for Yin'er.

After Kangxi nodded in approval, Yinzhen took his men out to find a suitable place to build a factory.

The glass factory of the Imperial Household Department was too small to support the volume of shipments.

In July, Yinzhen's first batch of goods arrived.

The first thing they did was to install glass on all the windows of Ningshou Palace, large and small, and then on to Qianqing Palace.

Although Kangxi wanted to experience the glass windows as soon as possible, he could not find any fault with Yinlang's decision to replace them in Ningshou Palace first, so he could only suppress his expectations and wait for another day.

After all the glass windows in the Palace of Heavenly Purity were installed, Kangxi summoned his trusted ministers to the Southern Study to discuss matters the next day. As soon as they entered the room, they found that the Southern Study was different from before.

The South Study is particularly bright today.

Everyone quickly focused their attention on the window.

When they first looked over, they thought the window paper had been peeled off.

But they soon discovered that it was not.

It was so crystal clear, could it be a window made of crystal?! Everyone was shocked.

When Kangxi saw that everyone's attention was focused on the glass window, he felt very proud.

I have something that others don't, and this little sense of superiority suddenly surges out.
