This man was once an emperor, and Jia Yue was even more afraid that this remnant of feudalism would cause trouble.

Yin Zheng also smiled: "I know this is a great era. I guess I was reincarnated without drinking the Meng Po soup. Let bygones be bygones. The general trend is set, and the situation will not change according to personal will. My parents are very good to me, and my family is harmonious and happy. I am very content."

Jia Yue smiled, feeling much relieved.

Indeed, anyone who emerges victorious from the struggle for succession among the nine princes must possess considerable political acumen. However, given the prevailing trend, there's nothing he can change.

Those who act perversely and against the tide are destined to perish.

"You should know most of what's going on with me. What are you doing right now?"

"I just got back from being sent to the countryside, and I'm waiting for the organization to arrange my work transfer."

Jia Yue was taken aback. She knew how difficult it was for educated youth to return to the city at that time. The organization arranged for her to be transferred to a government department. She quickly figured out the key to the matter.

"Looks like you did quite a bit of work while you were cutting in line?"

"We set up several factories, which solved the employment problem for several thousand people."

Of course, he was able to accomplish all this because he was capable enough, and also because he had connections in the area where he was sent to work. He had smoothed things over, and the higher-ups also needed political achievements, so it was a perfect match and mutually beneficial.

Jia Yue nodded: "Congratulations, you have a bright future ahead of you."

She knew that this man was quite adept at improving people's livelihoods, but of course, his greatest strength lay in reform.

After his death, Hongzhao made even more drastic changes.

"The future is full of uncertainties." Yin Zheng wasn't sure if everything would go smoothly, but based on his progress, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The two tacitly avoided mentioning marriage again. Before meeting Yin Zheng, Jia Yue wanted to wait until things calmed down, earn some money, and start enjoying life. She would leave the matter of marriage to fate.

She understood that Yin Zheng wasn't someone who would easily back down. As he said, the future was full of uncertainties.

The two chatted like old friends. Jia Yue told him about what Hongzhao had done after his death. He said that although everything was not perfect, the historical Qianlong looked at him with great satisfaction.

Yin Zheng told her about what he did when he was a sent-down youth.
