Hongshi was overjoyed and repeatedly urged his father to arrange students for him.

Yinzhen agreed and, in the end, treated everyone equally, setting up the Academy of Sciences, the Military Academy, and the Medical Academy.

The medical school is run by Bao Yin and Xue Li's cousin! Many of the teachers are from families with a long history in medicine, and the school admits both male and female students. Children from the orphanage can receive free education.

Hongyun was in charge of the military academy, where he trained many retired veterans to become capable generals.

Needless to say, the Academy of Sciences not only conducted its own research, but also had Yinzhen find foreigners to learn from him.

Yinzhen instructed his son-in-law and the ninth prince to open up trade routes by water and land.

Yinzhen began a life of getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog.

Thirteenth Brother was so busy he was practically a tentacle monster, and Yinzhen wanted to consult his thirteenth brother about everything.

Sherry felt that if he continued like this, he would be finished sooner or later.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell him a story!

"Tell me, there was a rich lord who did everything himself, working himself to death. He painstakingly amassed a huge fortune but never enjoyed it. His stewards and servants, on the other hand, lived much more comfortably than him."

Then, Sherry opened a painting. It depicted a cow, and the cow was called "Master".

A steward and a servant sat on one side of the oxcart, enjoying a sumptuous meal...

Yinzhen's expression shifted between light and dark as he looked at the painting.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Sherry hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "How about you draw a sequel?"

Yinzhen sighed almost imperceptibly, took her hand, and leaned against her. After a while, they fell asleep!

Sherry gently placed him on the tatami mat, covered him with a blanket, and then continued writing her new storybook.

Yes, a sequel to the love-hate relationship between the "domineering prince".

No one expected that outcome. Sherry didn't know what the eldest and second eldest brothers were thinking.

But the readers are really happy!

Sherry has decided to write a story about the sweet daily lives of two domineering princes—a powerful collaboration! Sherry is getting more and more excited just thinking about it!

What a coincidence! They were both imprisoned. What a destined fate!

Sherry wrote a rough draft, unaware of the twisted expression on Yinzhen's face as he looked at her preview after waking up.

Yinzhen listened to this advice. He had so many capable people under his command; those people were just too idle to cause trouble all the time!

Then let them keep busy. Why should he be the only one working himself to the bone?!

The eldest brother stays in the mansion doing nothing but having babies every day, and the eighth brother has no hope at all, yet he still manages to annoy him from time to time!

Then, Yinzhen started to put on some fancy tricks!

The eldest brother followed Nian Gengyao in pacifying Tibet.

The third prince was assigned to rewrite ancient books and classics. For this purpose, Yinzhen even commissioned the Italian monk Giuseppe Castiglione to design a huge library to preserve all the ancient books!

The fifth prince was always low-key, so Yinzhen asked him to lead people to cultivate grain seeds and find new crops.

The seventh brother and the eighth brother were in charge of diplomatic affairs.

Yinzhen thought that if the Eighth Prince had the ability to fool the foreigners, that was his skill; if he didn't, he should just obediently serve as his workhorse!

The tenth prince was tasked with thoroughly investigating the lackeys of the Imperial Household Department and recovering the national treasury's debts.

The younger brother, Hongshi, took Hongyi's invention, and Hongyi led people to search for minerals!

The twelfth son was in charge of promoting smallpox vaccination and epidemic prevention and control.

Hongxi, the son of the former crown prince, was in charge of supervising the construction of the river channel and the dikes...

Because of the busy work of his brothers and nephews, Yinzhen also conducted imperial examinations to select some talented individuals.

He often wrote sycophantic letters to his trusted ministers, showering them with compliments.

He remained calm on the surface, and the ministers, unaware of his true intentions, assumed that he was being favored by the emperor in a unique way.

Each of them thought they were the new emperor's confidants.

People could always find a good reason for Yinzhen's occasional outbursts of madness.

The fault lies with them, not the emperor.

More importantly, it was because of his uprightness and strength that many people kept their tails between their legs and dared not act recklessly.

With Yinzhen making these arrangements, all departments were operating smoothly in less than six months.

Yinzhen started going to bed early and waking up early every day with Xue Li. Well, not really, Xue Li would also take a nap.

His spirits were getting better and better, and Sherry stopped participating.

Given his current condition, he could easily live another ten years, enough time for him to accomplish many meaningful things.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be perfect to hand over a beautiful land to her son?

Moreover, due to trade, news from the outside world kept coming in, and Hongyi personally selected some students to study abroad.

Now that there is no war in the country, Yinzhen wants to rest and recuperate first.

But his brothers and nephews were busy as spinning tops, and Hongyi advocated maintaining a global perspective!

Even though at that time, the Qing Dynasty was seen as the Celestial Empire by foreigners!

However, it is not advisable to be complacent and refuse to keep up with the status quo!

Sherry kept a close eye on Hongyi and gave him a serious warning: "Don't be so wary of people, be even more wary of outsiders!"

With the great integration of ethnic groups and intermarriage between Manchus and Han Chinese, there was never a shortage of Japanese pirates who coveted this fertile land.

Hongyi also frequently corresponded with foreigners, which made him understand Kangxi's original intentions even more!

At the very least, it's true that the Emperor looked down on foreigners and was wary of Han Chinese.

If things continue like this, he doesn't know if the descendants of the Aisin Gioro family will become frogs in a well, with a limited perspective.

After all, Emperor Kangxi adopted a policy of isolationism because internal stability was a prerequisite for external resistance!

The Emperor's gradual relaxation of restrictions is also an attempt at reform, so he doesn't need to follow the Kangxi Emperor's approach.

After all, times are changing!

Continuing to close the country off from the world means being self-absorbed and having a narrow view of the world!

Hongyi had his own ideas and had discussed them with Yinzhen.

Hongshi couldn't sit still any longer and clamored to go see the foreigners' inventions.

"Ours is certainly better, but what if we take the best from each side and it comes in handy?!"

Yinzhen let them do whatever they wanted.
