Then Yinzhen explained the idea of ​​modern bank loans that his concubine had mentioned, combined with the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Then, the more Kangxi listened, the more serious his expression became, and the more attentive he became.

Upon hearing the final words, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and exclaim in amazement, "Brilliant!"

Yinzhen stared wide-eyed at his father's hand: "Father!!"

Doesn't your hand hurt from clapping?

Kangxi then realized that he had lost his composure, but it was not entirely his fault for doing so.

He originally thought his son would tell him something about urging him to repay the loan and canceling the bank's loan policy.

After all, given Yinzhen's personality, Kangxi believed he was absolutely capable of saying it.

Unexpectedly, he planned to take a different approach and offered some unique insights, which left the listener speechless.

He realized the seriousness of the loan issue and knew that demanding repayment was inevitable, but he didn't expect that the person in charge had a unique approach to it.

Furthermore, he hasn't completely abolished the policy of lending money.

...

One thing after another, Kangxi felt that he had considered things very thoroughly and meticulously, and that they could all be implemented directly.

Emperor Kangxi said with satisfaction, "Now that you're married, you've grown up and become more mature in your thinking."

He's lost his former recklessness.

Emperor Kangxi was very pleased!

So Kangxi summoned the Crown Prince and told him about Yinzhen's idea. After listening, the Crown Prince looked at Yinzhen with surprise.

This idea actually came from his fourth brother; he really hadn't expected it.

Finally, Kangxi said, "The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the nation's finances, which is of great importance. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Yinzhen, go back today and write a memorial. Then you two will handle this matter together, Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince understood that this matter was meant to enhance his prestige! Although he was pleased with his father's attention, he couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen, fearing that he might overthink things.

After all, if you work with him, no matter what, he will get the lion's share of the credit.

Yinzhen didn't think much of it. It wasn't that he didn't notice the injustice, but that he had gotten used to it. In his dream, Yongzheng suffered far more injustice than he had.

Having witnessed Yongzheng's life in his dream, he understood the emperor's way of thinking. His father probably thought that doing this was for his own good.

After all, his father is now very certain that the Crown Prince will be the next emperor. If he shares the credit with the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will surely remember him and will also remember his kindness when he ascends the throne.

The idea is correct, but the crown prince is not necessarily the emperor.

After sending his two sons away, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh, "Yinzhen is indeed a capable man, and the Crown Prince is also a good one."

If Emperor Kangxi knew modern terminology, he would probably shout, "With a son like this, the future of the Qing Dynasty is promising!"

Yinzhen and the Crown Prince left the Qianqing Palace together. The Crown Prince thought that his fourth brother could have such thoughts at such a young age, and he wanted to get closer to him.

"It's time for lunch. Why don't you have lunch at your second brother's place, Fourth Brother?"

Yinzhen shook his head and refused, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Brother Crown Prince, but I have already promised my wife that I will go back today to have lunch with her."

The truth is, he didn't agree to go back for dinner, but the Crown Prince didn't know that.

He was very busy when he first joined the Ministry of Revenue and rarely went home for lunch. Now that he's finally not so busy, he naturally has to have lunch with his wife.

As for dining with the Crown Prince, I have no interest.

Watching Yinzhen's departing figure, the Crown Prince couldn't help but mutter, "I don't think my fourth sister-in-law is a stunning beauty, so how did she manage to be so infatuated with him?"

That's a bit unusual.

He Zhu'er, who was serving nearby, heard this and couldn't help but think to himself, "Even Consort Li Jia isn't the most beautiful one in the harem, yet you still prefer to stay with her!"

It is clear that a woman's allure to a man is not limited to her appearance; perhaps the Fourth Prince's wife possesses qualities that are not known to outsiders!

Tong Cheng'er was about to order lunch when she heard someone come in and say, "Madam, the master has returned."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yinzhen entered.

Tong Cheng'er asked in surprise, "Why are you back today?"

Don't people usually not come home for lunch?

Yinzhen said, "There aren't that many things for me to do at the Ministry of Revenue these days. I just came out of the Qianqing Palace. Father Emperor asked me to write a memorial about the reform of the Ministry of Revenue's lending system. I don't need to go to the Ministry of Revenue this afternoon; I can do it from my residence."

So he came back for a meal.

Tong Cheng'er asked in surprise, "Father, did you get through to the Ministry of Revenue regarding the loan request? Tell me what they said!"

She wasn't interested in politics; she simply wanted to know more about Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled and said everything he needed to say.

Finally, he added, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to persuade Gu Badai with those statistical charts you provided, and without Gu Badai, Father Emperor wouldn't have attached such importance to it."

Tong Cheng'er smiled and nodded: "In that case, it seems you really should thank me. So how are you going to reward me?"

Yinzhen was surprised that she was so shameless and agreed so readily, so he smiled and asked, "What reward do you want?"

Tong Cheng'er thought for a moment, having not gone out for a long time: "Come out with me when you have a day off."

Yinzhen naturally nodded in agreement.

The two had a rare lunch together at noon, and in the afternoon they snuggled up in the study, one petting the cat and reading a storybook, the other burying himself in writing memorials.

Yinzhen already had a draft in mind for the memorial, so writing it was relatively easy. Therefore, when he finished writing, there was still plenty of time.

Seeing that he had stopped writing, Tong Cheng'er said, "You're done writing."

Yinzhen nodded: "It's finished."

Tong Cheng'er had never written a memorial to the throne, and she wisely refrained from asking too many questions about things she didn't understand.
