This is the place where Yinzhi attacked before. Looking at the place, which is completely different from before, Mingxiu sighed. Although this island is not very big, it is not very small either. It can still be lived in.
Many of the imperial army were mining gold and silver mines here, but there were still too few people. Later, Yinreng tried to get people from the Qing Dynasty to come and live here. Originally, many people were unwilling to come because they always felt that it was not safe to live in the Qing Dynasty, and the older generation believed in returning to their roots. So few people came.
Later, it was Yinreng who said that houses and land would be allocated here, and that people could go back whenever they wanted, which is why some people came over.
Once everyone arrived, the manpower shortage problem lessened, and everyone started building their homes there. Now, it's completely different, looking just like the Qing Dynasty.
Mingxiu and Kangxi took a short stroll around and observed the area. They found that everyone was living quite well. This was a new land, and things weren't very well-developed, so the first group of people who came here actually earned a lot of money. Apart from some inconvenience in circulation, life here was much better than in the Qing Dynasty, so everyone was quite happy.
After the two of them wandered around for a while and confirmed that life here was not bad, they continued their journey after Lao Qi and Lao Ba had finished packing.
The reason why the princes are needed to go out now is mostly because after years of development, the Qing Dynasty is selling more and more things. Although no one dares to take action, there are still some things to be wary of. If the princes are on the ship, they will have more say in social interactions and decision-making, and many things will be easier to handle.
Furthermore, the weapons installed on it are more powerful, so the princes are now in charge of overseeing matters related to sailing.
Generally, it's the seventh, eighth, and ninth princes. The seventh prince is very comprehensive in his thinking, the eighth prince is very talented in making money, and knows what makes money and what doesn't. The ninth prince likes to follow the other two. So, all three of them are in charge of going to sea. After all, gold and silver mines are not small matters, so many times it is necessary to have a prince in charge to prevent any trouble from happening.
The eldest son was in charge of military affairs, while Yinreng was the emperor. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth sons mainly rotated among the six ministries, helping Yinreng with his affairs.
Everyone had a clear division of labor, and everyone had something to do.
It was because of Mingxiu that Yinreng had far fewer brothers. Otherwise, Mingxiu felt that even if he had more brothers, Yinreng could have arranged things properly for them, making them work like beasts of burden.
After resolving matters here, the four continued their voyage at sea. There were many places to visit, but they had plenty of time, so they weren't in a hurry.
After experiencing several sea storms, we finally arrived at our next destination: France.
Mingxiu walked off the boat, feeling weak and sluggish. Just a few days ago, they had experienced a huge storm, but fortunately their boat was sturdy enough that nothing happened.
However, Mingxiu was still quite frightened, after all, it was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and she had even witnessed a fleet of ships being smashed to pieces by a storm because their hulls were not sturdy enough.
Fortunately, they had the resources to save a few people, preventing the entire fleet from being wiped out.
"We really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to return. We are the benefactors of the Qing Dynasty. Thank you!" The Frenchmen thanked them one after another after disembarking.
"No need to be so polite, everyone should hurry back. Your families must be very worried about you this time you're away." The seventh brother smiled gently, and everyone who saw him would call him a gentleman.
Unfortunately, this seemingly refined gentleman had a black heart.
Mingxiu and Kangxi stood by without showing themselves, watching the conversation and seeing how the seventh prince had moved people to tears with just a few words. They felt inexplicably admiring.
Whether in this life or in history, he was very good at manipulating and controlling people's hearts. The only difference was that in this life, he had a strong bottom line and principles.
"Father, Mother, you must be tired after such a long time on the boat. Let's go back and rest for a while," said the seventh son as he walked over.
Kangxi nodded, and a carriage had already come to pick her up. Mingxiu could just go with it.
Because Lao Qi and Lao Ba come here often, they have bought houses here, unlike Mingxiu and the others who left after a while when they came last time, so they didn't buy any property.
Mingxiu and Kangxi walked over and came to a very large and luxurious house. Mingxiu stared in shock at the castle in front of her, speechless.
"This is the house you three bought here," Mingxiu asked, her lips twitching slightly.
"To be precise, this is the eighth brother's house, and the ninth brother's and mine are next to it." The seventh brother said, pointing to the two castles next to each other.
Emperor Kangxi's eyelids twitched; these three were quite formidable.
"Well done, you two are really good. With that kind of earning power, you can even afford a castle. It doesn't look cheap. If you have the chance, bring your mother over to see it too." Mingxiu looked at the two of them with admiration.
As expected of a prince, he has excellent foresight. Although buying now is expensive, it's still a good deal. Houses always appreciate in value, and in the future, it will be a significant legacy for his children abroad.
"Of course, we had thought about bringing Mother over before, but she felt that she was living very well in the Qing Dynasty and didn't want to come out for a while. In addition, she was about to get married, so we put it on hold. Maybe she can come out for a while after the wedding," the seventh brother said with a smile.
As they walked through the castle estate, talking, Mingxiu nodded. Nowadays, it's a very troublesome thing for people to go out. Many people have never been to a very far place in their lives. One reason is the long distance, and another is that it's not safe outside now, so people without any strength simply don't dare to go out.
Women, in particular, rarely go out. Now that they have the opportunity to go out, they should naturally go out and see more of the world. This way, they can make the most of their lives.
"Mother, this is your and Father's room. Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, we can change it. We don't have many other things here, but we have the most rooms," said the seventh son.
Mingxiu nodded, then raised an eyebrow as she walked in. The room was clearly meticulously prepared, with all sorts of decorations in a medieval style. There was a walk-in closet, a washroom, and most importantly, a balcony. Standing on the balcony, one could see the scenery of the manor. Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction.
