Chen Tingjing tightened his grip on the account book, but in the end, he couldn't resist Yinreng's temptation and obediently nodded.
Yinreng looked at Chen Tingjing with a smile: "If I help sell them, does Lord Chen have anything to thank me for?"
Looking at Yinreng's smiling face, Chen Tingjing really wanted to throw the account book in his face. Wasn't he doing all this for the Qing Dynasty and for his family's empire?
But in the end, he suppressed his anger with a sliver of reason and reluctantly said, "If Your Highness can really do it, then I can grant the request for funds."
Perfect!
Yinreng smiled, this time with a genuine feeling in his smile: "Then thank you very much, Lord Chen."
Then Yinreng shared his idea: they could fabricate an origin or story for these things and get wealthy and powerful people in the Qing Dynasty to participate. Of course, foreigners could also participate, as long as they had money.
Then let everyone compete, and the one with the highest bid will win. The lowest price can be the price set now.
Moreover, this method can be used not only in the Qing Dynasty, but also overseas.
Before Chen Tingjing could react to what Yinreng had said, the eyes of the person in charge standing next to him lit up instantly.
"Yes, this is a great idea," the person in charge quickly told Chen Tingjing about the benefits of doing so.
Chen Tingjing quickly realized this and readily agreed to the method.
Yinreng was also happy, which meant that he could get his money back.
After the three of them finished discussing the general matters, Yinreng stopped the idea of making up stories. After all, his father's Wenyuan Pavilion still had a group of ministers, so this would come in handy.
Yinreng was overjoyed and followed Chen Tingjing back to the Ministry of Revenue, where Chen Tingjing promptly gave the money to Yinreng.
Yinreng happily took the receipt for the money and went back, unaware of Chen Tingjing's smiling gaze behind him.
The next day, everyone was shocked to learn that Yinreng had obtained the silver from the Ministry of Revenue. Everyone was curious about how the Crown Prince had managed to get it, but they couldn't ask Yinreng directly. Since they were already in front of the Ministry of Revenue, they figured that maybe Chen Tingjing was in a good mood and they might be able to get the money back.
Even Emperor Kangxi was shocked that the money had actually been recovered.
Emperor Kangxi was also curious about how Yinreng had obtained the information. He had a convenient method: he simply summoned the people accompanying Yinreng and asked them.
Kangxi was stunned by what he heard, and Mingxiu, who was listening nearby, was also shocked. She hadn't expected that Yinreng could come up with the idea of an auction. Not bad at all.
That's amazing!
Mingxiu's admiring gaze was impossible to hide, but Kangxi gave him a disgruntled look.
Mingxiu touched her nose, which reminded Kangxi that she had given the system to Yinreng but not to him.
Although Mingxiu initially described the system as a nanny system, Kangxi quickly learned its usefulness.
Then she realized that she wasn't as important to Yinreng as Mingxiu was.
What could Mingxiu do? She couldn't say that Yinreng was really important to her back then, after all, she was a big fan of Yinreng.
Moreover, she initially only gave the Lingquan water to Yinreng, and it was only later that Kangxi received this honor.
But this matter must not be known to Emperor Kangxi, otherwise he will have another attack.
Mingxiu could only turn her head away and pretend she didn't see it.
Yinreng was really amazing.
Everyone was shocked that Yinreng had successfully obtained the money, even Yinzhi was shocked and rushed to Yuqing Palace to ask him how he had managed it.
Yinreng didn't say it directly, but told him that he would know when they went to see it together.
Mingxiu was also very interested and asked Kangxi to take her out to see the sights. Kangxi thought it would be nice to see them, so he agreed, but he didn't forget to collect interest.
So Mingxiu was tormented by Kangxi again and again. Looking at her trembling hands, she felt that if this continued, she might lose everything and her family.
I simply couldn't take it anymore.
The auction officially began when the weather gradually warmed up. The venue had been booked well in advance, and it was a restaurant in the capital with a very suitable location. This restaurant was owned by Mingxiu and Kangxi, but of course, it was registered under the name of Mingxiu's younger brother.
With Mingxiu providing the recipes and Kangxi providing the management, the restaurant has been incredibly successful since its opening.
It generated a lot of revenue for them. The restaurant mainly serves full meals, but there are two small shops right next to it. One sells cakes and drinks, and the other sells snacks such as spicy strips and potato chips, which are all for takeaway.
On the day of the auction, Mingxiu got up early without anyone having to call her. After getting ready, she took Luzhu and went out. When she arrived at the door, she saw a carriage waiting for her.
Mingxiu sat happily in the carriage. As soon as she entered, she felt the heat emanating from inside. Kangxi had changed into a black outfit with embroidery and gold thread, clearly indicating his wealth and nobility.
Mingxiu stuck out her tongue and obediently sat down. The two of them then headed towards the auction.
Mingxiu was dressed in an ordinary qipao with a veil today. She looked like she came from a slightly better-off family, but nothing special.
The hotel wasn't far from the palace, which was convenient for management, so we arrived quickly.
Mingxiu looked at the scenery outside. It was still too early; the sky wasn't fully bright yet, but there were already many people outside.
Mingxiu looked on curiously. Although the pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry, everyone had smiles on their faces, and their clothes were obviously much better than when she had just come out.
As expected, after the sea ban was lifted, everyone's living standards improved. In addition, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yinreng had been researching powerful agricultural tools, so now people need less manpower to farm.
With more people able to come and work, everyone's lives have improved considerably.
Mingxiu was very happy to see this. Although there weren't many people there, she still deserved some credit.
The people arrived at the hotel quickly. There were many items at this auction, so it would start early. Mingxiu and Kangxi were led in through the back door. They would not show themselves this time; they were just there to observe.
The product manager and the Ministry of Revenue were both responsible for handling these matters.
Yinreng also came to join in the fun, since it was his idea. However, he did not come out or sit with Kangxi and the others. Instead, he and Yinzhi had a private room to themselves.
The food at the restaurant was all passed down from Mingxiu, so it tasted very good. Mingxiu and Kangxi got up early in the morning and hadn't eaten breakfast, so they ordered breakfast directly when they arrived and started eating.
