Yinreng was very happy that Yinyou had such vision, which showed that his training direction was correct and that Yinyou did have some of the thinking of an engineering student.

The caravan found rubber, but there was no progress on Yinsi's side. However, when Yin'er's men were trying to gather information, they heard that there was a black water pond in Xinjiang.

It is very likely the crude oil mine that Yinreng is looking for.

Yinreng also thought so and planned to find someone to investigate this year.

This year, the royal family has added several more children. The most eye-catching one is Tangdouer from Wen Xian’s family. This nickname was given to her by Yinreng before he left Beijing.

At that time, Wen Xian brought his daughter into the palace to be seen by the Empress Dowager. When Yinreng heard about it, he also went to join in the fun. As a result, the little girl was just one month old and slept almost the whole time. Yinreng was curious for a while, and Wen Xian suggested that he, the uncle, give her a nickname. Yinreng blurted out without thinking -

"Jellybeans!"

This was the nickname of his eldest daughter with Guaerjia in his previous life. This name might not be useful in this life. Wen Xian’s husband in the previous life was not Shun Anyan, so it would be fine to give it to this little girl.

Wen Xian thought this nickname was novel, so he decided on it.

Since the relationship between Wen Xian and Shun Anyan has reached a freezing point, except for some important holidays, the two would never appear in the same occasion. Shun Anyan wanted to spend some time to win back Wen Xian's heart, but Wen Xian didn't respond at all.

Whenever he returned to the princess's mansion, Wen Xian would take his daughter everywhere.

Apart from the Empress Dowager's, the place where Wen Xian spent the most time was Yuqing Palace. At first, Wen Xian also often went to Yonghe Palace to see Concubine De, but Concubine De kept urging her to give birth to another son.

Over time, Wen Xian was no longer willing to go to Yonghe Palace.

After learning that Shun Anyan had been keeping a mistress behind her back, she was almost sickened by Shun Anyan. How could she still think about giving birth to a child for him? As for the issues of inheritance and retirement that Concubine De was worried about, those did not exist at all.

She is a princess, does she need someone to serve her?

Besides, speaking of inheritance, even if she has a son, the princess's mansion will be taken back after she dies. What's important is her private property. Wouldn't it be good to leave her private property to her daughter?

If she gave it to her son, she would be afraid that the bastard would take advantage of her!

During the past six months, Tangdouer has become familiar with the Yuqing Palace.

Sometimes, Guaerjia even doted on Tangdouer more than Wenxian. If Wenxian had given birth to a boy, it would have caused some rumors, but since Tangdou was a girl, he didn't have so many concerns.

After making that decision, whenever a family banquet was held in the palace, he could feel the prying and malice coming from all sides, and Guaerjia also regretted it.

But it was not until that time when Yinreng's arm was ruthlessly broken by Kangxi that she faced the reality.

She also has younger brothers and nephews at home, and she knows clearly that if parents truly love their children, they will not only kick them in pieces, but will also hold back when slapping them in anger.

The methods used by the noble families in the city to punish unfilial children were nothing more than the same few methods. She had never heard of any family using family rules to break a child's arm.

Besides, my husband is not like those playboys who play with cats and dogs all day long. Even if he made a mistake, he shouldn't be so harsh.

Didn’t the Emperor ever worry about his husband’s arm not growing properly and becoming disabled?

It can be seen that the facts are indeed as the husband said, the emperor does not value the husband as much as he appears to.

In short, after that incident, Guwaljia completely gave up the idea of ​​having children.

Tangdouer is already seven months old. Wen Xian has raised her to be plump and fair. In terms of appearance, Yinreng privately feels that she is not as good-looking as his daughter.

But the little girl is well-behaved, unlike the troublemaker in his family who would cry at the top of his lungs when he disagreed with something and would not shed a single tear.

Every time Yinreng saw the little girl, he couldn't help but think of his own children. Of course, he felt regretful, but more of it was relief.

No one knew better than him how cheap Kangxi's favoritism was, especially now that Kangxi could hear his inner voice and should have known that he was from the future. Yinreng would not dare to give birth to a child easily.

As long as Kangxi was still useful, Kangxi would not take his life. However, as Kangxi grew older, his suspicion would grow stronger. When he was nearing death, this mentality would reach its peak. At that time, no emotion could compare to his fear of death.

At the state banquet on the morning of New Year's Eve, Kangxi brought Yinzhen with him. From then on, all the protagonists in the battle for the throne among the nine princes stood in the court.

When Kangxi walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and went down to greet his ministers and envoys from various countries, a dozen princes followed him in a mighty manner. The scene was extremely impactful.

At such moments, Yinreng admired the old man's fertility.

Yinxiang is already seventeen years old this year. Since he started working with Yinzhen last year, he has become more confident.

In fact, ever since Concubine Min died of illness, Yinxiang has lived like Yinzhen's shadow all his life.

In other words, he is more than one year older than Yinzhen and entered the court a year earlier, otherwise he would still be following Yinzhen as a follower.

Kangxi's favoritism towards Yinzhen was obvious to all, so even though he had just started his court work this year, all the civil and military officials in the court began to target him.

Almost everyone tacitly agreed that Yinreng would not become the next emperor.

Yinreng knew all about this, but he didn't seem angry at all.

All of this was the result of his painstaking planning for more than ten years. How could he give up his choice because of the opinions of outsiders?

Seeing that Fourteenth was being eagerly watched by the court officials, everyone except Yinzhen and Yinluo had a strange look on their faces.

Yinzhen was the most unhappy one among them.

But Yinreng didn't care.

Although Fourteen's temperament was raised a little left-wing by Concubine De, he still has a good talent for leading troops. If he can be trained to conquer the surrounding small countries and develop Southeast Asia into a blood bag for China, then why would he have to worry about someone climbing on his head and shitting on him in the future?

The most important thing now is to develop industry and raise the status of workers first. Then it will be hard to say who will be the master of this land.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yinreng plunged into the Imperial Household Department's workshop. Now that the tire issue was resolved, it was time to start making the other parts of the bicycle.

After Yinreng handed the blueprint to the blacksmith of the Imperial Household Department, he also watched the progress of the manufacturing of each workpiece step by step. It took another six or seven days and the bicycle frame was built.

Yinreng personally assembled the world's first bicycle.

What made Yinreng feel uncomfortable was that even the seat was made of iron sheets. In this weather, his butt would be frozen if he rode on it...
