Whether the pencil deal will work out is hard to say, and he knows Xiao Jiu's stubborn nature.

Or should we let Yinzhen give it a try?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Kangxi wanted to go inside.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Consort Yi did not disturb him, but simply waited quietly for his reply.

After a long while, as if he had compromised on something, he said to Consort Yi, "Go back first and let Xiao Jiu come to see me."

Consort Yi was somewhat confused; did this mean she agreed or disagreed?

"Your Majesty, what about Xiao Jiu?"

Kangxi did not give a clear answer, only saying, "I will make my own plans regarding Yinzhen."

Consort Yi knew she wouldn't get any more information, so she went back.

Not long after she left, Yinzhen arrived.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and said in a deep voice, "I heard from your mother that you are interested in going into business?"

Yin Tang was somewhat intimidated by his father and said nervously, "Your subject does indeed have this intention."

Kangxi nodded: "Do you have any plans to do anything?"

Yin Tang was a little embarrassed to say it.

He actually planned to open a restaurant where performers would entertain, similar to a brothel where performers would entertain but not sell their bodies.

This inspiration came from the three of them.

Yin Tang rarely left the palace. The Third Prince had already gone out to establish his own residence, but he preferred the refined pursuits of women, and would often mention them in passing.

Yinzhen disliked his gossipy nature, so he came up with the idea of ​​opening a "restaurant" specifically to cater to literati and scholars, earning money from scholars like the Third Prince who enjoyed "refined pursuits".

Because he was too embarrassed to speak, Yinzhen shook his head directly: "Your subject hasn't decided what to do yet."

Kangxi seemed lost in thought for a while before finally asking, "Can you hold on?"

Although his ideas were somewhat absurd, he was serious about doing business.

"Your subject can persevere," Yin Tang said resolutely.

Kangxi nodded: "Very well, I have a task for you."

Yin Tang: ? ?

A job?

He wants to do business, not work as a government employee?

Kangxi continued, "Your fourth brother and sister-in-law have had a special pen made, called a pencil. Since you are interested in doing business, then do business for me and for the Qing Dynasty!"
