Before the courtyard was completed, Yinzhen had no idea that the effect would be so stunning, so when Yinreng was looking for craftsmen all over the city and outside the city to make furniture, he watched coldly.

However, he only started preparing sets of furniture and furnishings after the decoration of the courtyard was completed, and he has only prepared a few sets so far.

It is not enough to be divided among the more than one hundred houses.

Yinreng heard the resentment in Yin'er's words and immediately laughed awkwardly.

"I've been so busy lately that I forgot to remind you... But I do have an idea. First, put those three model apartments up for sale, find someone from the real estate agency to take people through, then collect the deposit and sign the deeds, and then delay the actual handover date."

"The furniture business is very profitable. I think you two can let someone you trust open a factory. Trading furniture materials can also be a good way to make money."

Yinreng suggested.

Yinzhen was a little puzzled when he heard this.

“Why don’t we open our own factory?”

I heard the concept of factory from my second brother. It is said that several weaving factories in Jiangnan have been converted into factories, and the shipping speed and quality have improved in the past two years.

Even the local people have begun to train embroiderers on a large scale.

Unlike Yinzhen, Yin'er almost instantly understood the implicit meaning of Yinreng's words -

Because he had already done that.

Yin'er's heart instantly rose to his chest, and he carefully observed Yinreng's expression, fearing that his second brother was saying this to deceive him.

Yinreng seemed to have sensed something, glanced at Yinzhen with a half-smile, then pouted at Yinzhen.

"Here, explain it!"

Yinzhen: “…”

Okay, it seems that the second brother doesn't object to him doing this.

Yinzhen glanced warily at the guards at the door, then approached Yinzhen.

"Are you stupid? If we do it ourselves, we'll have to use the imperial court, and the emperor will have to spend most of the money we earn. Just think about my three million taels of silver!"

Yinzhen: “…”

Was there more than three million taels? How did he remember that the emperor only embezzled more than two million?

"How about it? Do you want to participate?"

Yinzhen acted as if he was saying, "If you don't agree, I'll find someone else."

Yinzhen was even more speechless.

"Second brother, didn't you say you wanted to take Henry's merchant ship so that Lao Jiu and I could form a merchant caravan to go out to sea?"

He felt his scalp tingling when he thought about having to take care of so many things in the future. But his second brother only knew how to develop new ways to make money, and then he would start them enthusiastically, and all the rest of the things fell on them.

They are so busy all day long, but my second brother is...

Okay, second brother is not in good condition either.

During this period, whenever the second brother had free time, he would be asked by Emperor Amala to review memorials, and his life was not much better than theirs.

At this moment, Yinzhen suddenly envied his eldest brother and seventh brother who were far away in Fujian.

They are both busy.

But we are only busy expanding the navy, not like them who are busy in such a fragmented way, firing a shot here today and a cannon there tomorrow.

In a state of panic!

Now Yinzhen has reason to suspect that his second brother cannot bear to see his brothers having more free time than him.

"What?! We're also going to build a caravan to go out to sea?"

When Yinzhen heard this, his voice suddenly became much louder.

Yinzhen couldn't count how many times he had been speechless today.

Whenever this brat Lao Jiu hears about making money, he gets as excited and tireless as a mouse that gets into a rice jar.

In the end, Yinzhen could only look at Yinreng expressionlessly.

He didn't say a word, but Yinreng felt that he was definitely cursing him in his heart.

However, Yinreng had no awareness of being scolded, and his face was full of the cunning and greed of a "capitalist".

"Don't you want to make more money?"

"No……"

Yinzhen was about to say "I don't want to". He now has a lot of income, which is enough to cover the expenses of the Prince's Mansion.

However, he was interrupted by Yinreng before he could say a word.

"Think it over carefully before you speak. If you dare to say you don't want to, you won't have any share in Lao Jiu's business in the future."

Yinzhen: “…I want to!”

"Hey, I just knew that there is no one in this world who doesn't like money."

Yinreng smiled.

Yinzhen: “…”

"You two have many wives and brothers from your mother's side. Why don't you investigate and recruit a few of them to start a factory?"

There are four brothers in the Ulanara family. Xingchan is now in the military camp, Fuchang is serving as a guard for the old man in the palace, Fucun and Wuge are still young and have no jobs, but one of them inherited the official position of a flag captain and the other inherited the title of a first-class duke.

The whole family was not valued by Emperor Kangxi. When Fei Yanggu died, Xingchan had already climbed to the position of deputy governor, and there has been no change until now.

The ninth wife, Dong E, had five brothers in her family. Except for the eldest brother Zhu Liang and the second brother Fu Yong, the others were not married yet and had no jobs.

The third wife is the ninth wife's cousin, and her family situation is much better.

The brothers of the Third Lady have all grown up and are supported by the family, and have been given good jobs.

Hearing him say this, Yinzhen and Yin'er both frowned, obviously unhappy.

Yinreng noticed the strangeness on their faces and asked in confusion,

"What's wrong?"

Yinzhen and Yin'er looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Second brother, since you haven't met Fuchang and the others, you might not know that I know them quite well. Their lack of ability is secondary. Their biggest problem is that they are too cowardly... and too rigid. In the officialdom, I can still protect them somewhat, but as merchants, they can't be ruthless."

Just like Fei Yanggu, he abides by the rules and makes his children follow them as well.

After his death, his children were still young, and in order to protect themselves, they followed the rules in everything they did and did not dare to step out of line.

But rules are dead and people are alive. Not everything in this world is bound by rules. How can you fit yourself into a mold and live like a fake person?

Fortunately, Fu Jin has changed a lot recently, otherwise it would be too tiring to get along with her. As time goes by, the thin feelings between them will sooner or later be worn out.

When Yinzhen saw that he had finished speaking, he immediately continued,

"The brothers of the Dong E family are all useless. They spend their days playing with cats and dogs and never do anything serious. Even if the emperor no longer restricts the Manchus from doing business, they probably won't look down on the ways of business."

"If you don't try, how do you know they won't like it?"

Yinreng curled his lips when he heard this.

"You two are just too bothersome. Stop making your words sound so high-sounding."

Yinzhen was not happy, "It's really not..."

He would like to take a liking to them, but Fu Ming and the others are well-known playboys. Why is it worth his time to pave the way for them?

"I think you two can try to trust them. If nothing else, the fact that Xingchan and the others have never caused any trouble since Fei Yanggu's death is enough to prove that they are useful."
