Now that he has returned, with a good family background, ability, and loyalty, Yinzhen will naturally not let him off the hook and "enslave" him.
Now that the Ministry of the Interior is under investigation, it needs a capable person to manage it, so Sukhtha was appointed as the head of the Ministry of the Interior.
Regardless of the title, managing the emperor's private treasury earns the emperor's trust and means being directly under his control.
Yinzhen did achieve his goal of reforming the Imperial Household Department. On the one hand, he did what he wanted to do, and on the other hand, he did suppress Yunrong's message.
Besides these, Yinzhen also found several people who had been pushing things along. Since they couldn't stand seeing Yunrong doing well, Yinzhen decided to prevent them from doing well. No official is truly clean. Yinzhen ordered an investigation, which uncovered a lot of things, and he punished them. Unfortunately, the mastermind behind the scenes was too cunning, and he still had no clue.
Consort Rong also received the news.
Zhichun: "Master, many of our men have been confiscated."
Consort Rong continued chanting Buddhist prayers, speaking calmly: "I understand. The old nanny has served me for so many years. Her family has been harassed. Please send someone to instruct those who survived to be taken care of. My abilities are limited, and I cannot help that much."
Zhichun felt that Consort Rong was a good mistress. This time, it was indeed because the nanny's family was too greedy, but the mistress was still able to help out out of old feelings. Zhichun felt that she had followed the wrong mistress.
Zhichun was also a confidante, but compared to the old nanny who had served Consort Rong before, she was nothing.
Zhichun: "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. Now that the Empress's family is all-powerful in the harem, it is already quite remarkable that Your Majesty can still take care of the nanny. Your Majesty should not overthink it."
Consort Rong sighed and said, "It's also my fault for being so useless; I couldn't even protect my own people!"
By the time the turmoil within the Imperial Household Department had completely subsided, half of the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign had passed. The road construction was progressing well, and as the capital city, the officials in charge of the road construction naturally dared not slack off.
In other places, because improved roads lead to greater wealth, many wealthy businessmen were very willing to speed up the road construction process and even set up a road construction fund specifically for road construction expenses.
This was somewhat unexpected for Yinzhen. After learning about it and seeing the submitted list, Yinzhen waved his hand and bestowed upon the top ten donors the titles of "wealthy and benevolent merchants."
Those businessmen never expected to reap such a reward, while those who didn't donate or almost made it into the top ten were filled with regret!
They all regretted not donating more or donating more back then.
