Emperor Kangxi bestowed upon him the name Hongshu, which is the same as Sheng and Sheng, meaning bright and prosperous!

That year, Huzhou, Shahe, and Changshan experienced drought.

Yin Tang continued to donate grain and supplies, and the students at the academy developed a product similar to cement.

Yin Tang instructed the disaster victims to work on the relief efforts, using cement to repair dikes and roads.

Because the experiment showed promising results, it was presented to Emperor Kangxi!

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and wanted to take the students in without hesitation. However, after much deliberation, the students asked Emperor Kangxi to build them an identical laboratory.

Emperor Kangxi was so angry he laughed.

Finally, he rewarded the students with residences and sinecure positions. Research remained at the academy, but Kangxi allocated a plot of land for them to build houses and conduct research.

The few eccentrics didn't mind at all; they were content just to have a place to study them! They were all very happy.

Kangxi suddenly understood why Yinzhen had suggested giving him a sinecure. They were all truly bad at socializing.

After giving instructions to Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhen brought them into the palace and then left them to their own devices.

Emperor Kangxi was quite pleased, but he was still debating what to reward the Ninth Prince with.

What about the money? They know how to make it.

As for the title of peerage, it was only conferred last year, so it would be inappropriate to promote it again.

Emperor Kangxi thought for a moment, and realized that the Ninth Prince had just had a son.

Then let's reward his precious grandson!

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Kangxi bestowed upon the infant, who was not even a month old, the title of Beizi and the honorary title of "An".

That precious object, resembling cement, was personally named "Anshan" by Emperor Kangxi.

Protect our land and safeguard our mountains and rivers!

Seeing Lao Jiu's sour expression, the brothers all pulled him aside to drink.

Old Nine was also delighted and generously booked the entire restaurant to host a banquet for his brothers.

Emperor Kangxi was pleased to see his sons getting along so well, and the princes were happy to make their father happy as well.

They all set off together happily.

Yinzhen also arranged for someone to inform Xue Li.

The fourteenth son's little eyes darted around.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the brothers drank several rounds of wine.

The fourteenth brother leaned over and asked the ninth brother, "Ninth brother, tell me the truth, are you afraid of your wife? She seems very kind to me!"

The princes were drinking together when they heard this and looked at the ninth prince.

Yinzhen looked at the fourteenth prince with a "what do you know, you little brat?" expression.

"You don't understand! Have you heard the saying? 'He who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth!'" Yin Tang had been given quite a bit of wine and was a little unsteady on his feet, but that didn't stop him from waving his hand and imparting his experience.

"Huh?" The fourteenth prince looked puzzled. Why couldn't he understand?

"Fourteenth Prince, just remember this: after you marry your wife, treat her the way your Ninth Brother treated your Ninth Sister-in-law, and then you will definitely get better and better!"

As Yinzhen spoke, he patted the fourteenth prince's back repeatedly.

But the fourteenth prince was very strong, so it didn't affect him at all.

"Why is that?!" The fourteenth prince still looked puzzled.

The third brother couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The others, including the Crown Prince, Yinzhi, and Yinqi, all had somewhat complicated expressions.

Yinzhen and Yinsi fell into deep thought.

"Spoiling the Fujin (principal wife) will bring you prosperity! Go ask Fourth Brother; he studies Buddhism and Taoism every day, he'll definitely know!"

Yinzhen spoke with such seriousness that his eyes were unfocused, and he had already started singing a song with his arm around the tenth prince.

The tenth prince nodded silently. He didn't care whether he became rich or not, since he was about to become a father!

Yinzhen was a little unsure how to respond after Yintang mentioned it.

But his brothers all looked at him at the same time.

Yinzhen paused, nodded, and said, "Taoist principles emphasize living in harmony with nature. In the family, the relationship between husband and wife is like the balance of Yin and Yang, the cornerstone of family harmony. When energy is positive, fortune flows smoothly!"

Everyone looked at the fourth brother in surprise, unsure whether they were surprised that he could actually explain it or that there was really such a reason behind it.

As a result, when everyone saw that the Eighth Brother and the Tenth Brother nodded in unison, they felt that they should listen carefully and learn what the other brothers knew!

Whether something is useful or not is unimportant; if others have it, they want it too. If others can do it, they want to know it too.

Then he stared intently at the fourth brother, this time much more seriously.

Yinzhen was caught in a dilemma: whether to put the cup down or not.

He paused, then spoke in a deep voice: "In Buddhism, the emphasis is on values ​​such as compassion, equality, and selflessness, as well as on giving and harmonious coexistence! As the old saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things!"

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and drank his tea, while the other princes fell into deep thought.

Yinqi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, while the Crown Prince nodded casually.

Yinzhi, on the other hand, looked smug, thinking he had done well!

Yinzhi was quite satisfied with himself; he was unlike his other brothers.

Yinzhen was already drunk, but he was still singing opera in a garbled manner.

The tenth brother carried him on his back, and the brothers helped each other back to their respective homes.

The news inevitably reached Emperor Kangxi's ears.

Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with a puzzled expression, while Liang Jiugong was somewhat bewildered.

Kangxi stared at them for a long time, still not quite understanding. Why were those people not exchanging sarcastic remarks today, but instead discussing "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things"?

"By the way, who started it?" Kangxi asked.

“It was Fourteenth Master who asked Ninth Master, and Ninth Master said it!” Liang Jiugong stepped forward and said.

"Heh!" Kangxi smiled, and he actually thought that what the Ninth Prince said made a lot of sense.

At least, in the past, he never gave him any money when he made his fortune.

Moreover, the way they handled ginseng was not elegant.

Thinking about it now, Kangxi realized that he had been wise to have given him a good wife who could keep him in check.
