"Furthermore, promote Shi Shi-piao to Governor-General of the Fujian Navy and expand the Fujian Navy to 50,000 within one year."
"Prince Zhi."
Kangxi looked at Yinzhi.
Yinzhi bowed,
"emperor."
"You and the Seventh Prince will lead the craftsmen of the Firearms Battalion and the shipbuilders of the Ministry of Works to the Fujian Navy base to assist Shi Shipiu in expanding the navy. Do you have any objection?"
"My son obeys."
Seeing this, Yinreng quickly said,
"Your Majesty, your son please..."
Kangxi didn't even look at him, and said directly to Suo Etu,
"Suo Etu, gather the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to arrange for food and supplies."
“Hey!”
"Emperor Father..."
"That's all for today, let's all go back!"
After Kangxi finished making the arrangements, he stood up and left the Southern Study.
Yinreng: “…”
He stared blankly at Kangxi as he walked out the door without looking back, his resentment rising to the sky.
Tong Guowei and others were also unhappy. Seeing Yinreng's expression, they bowed to him and then filed out.
Soetu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed helplessly.
After everyone had left, Yinzhi raised his hand and hit Yinreng.
"What did you want to say just now?"
Normally, Yinreng would not think there was anything wrong with the expression on Yinzhi's face, but now, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Yinzhi was being mean.
He glared at Yinzhi.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Then he walked out of the South Study.
Yinzhi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and cursed with a smile.
"A dog bites Lu Dongbin!"
After Kangxi's decree was conveyed, all parts of the capital began to move.
That afternoon, Yinreng did not give up and went to the Qianqing Palace again to ask Kangxi to allow him to leave Beijing with Yinzhi and others.
Kangxi's answer was just two simple words.
"no."
Yinreng had no choice but to return to Yuqing Palace angrily.
The old man is really not a human being!
After August 15th, Yinzhi and Yinyou officially left Beijing.
Yinreng saw them off to the outskirts of the city, and then took Yinzhen and Yin'er to a tavern called "Zui Chunfeng" in the outer city.
The other princes all had tasks to perform, so Yinreng couldn't force them.
This tavern was not owned by Yinzhen. On the surface, it was opened by the imperial merchant family Fan in this commercial district.
But Yinzhen, who knew the whole story, knew that the Tong family was behind the tavern.
Before I even entered the door, a strange smell hit my nose.
The sweet fragrance was mixed with the smell of alcohol. If you smelled it carefully, there seemed to be a pungent smell like... a toilet. Although it was not strong, it was inexplicably disgusting.
Yinreng's heart tightened, as he felt like he had smelled this smell somewhere before.
But after thinking about it carefully for a moment, I really couldn't remember the source of the smell, so I shook my head and put it out of my mind.
The waiter saw that the man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, obviously rich or noble, so he hurried forward to greet him.
"Dear guests, please come in..."
Yinzhen and Yinreng also smelled the strange smell and were about to ask Yinreng if he wanted to change restaurants, but they saw that he had already walked into the door.
Seeing this, they had no choice but to follow.
Yinreng walked in and took a look around, but found nothing unusual, so he said to the waiter,
"Go find a private room upstairs."
"Okay! Three of you in the private room..."
The muscular men at the back were obviously followers of the ones in front, so the waiter wisely didn't count them.
It was morning and there was no customer in the tavern. Yinreng followed the waiter upstairs, and his brows furrowed more deeply as he walked.
What is this smell?
When they arrived at the private room, the windows were wide open, and Yinreng's nose felt a little better.
"Give me a dish of your signature dishes. If they don't taste good, I'll smash your signs!"
Yinreng looked so arrogant and domineering that the waiter was so scared that he nodded repeatedly.
Yin'er and Yinzhen looked at him strangely, but didn't say much in the end.
Yinzhen stood by the window and glanced at the street below, saying,
"Do you smell a strange smell in here? It's a kind of sweet aroma."
“I smell it.”
Yinzhen nodded.
"I don't hate the smell, on the contrary I feel it's strangely familiar."
Yinreng narrowed his eyes.
"I feel it's familiar, but I can't remember where I've smelled it before."
There was something he didn't say, but besides being familiar with it, he also felt an inexplicable sense of disgust.
"Never mind, it's just this once."
"Second brother, you asked me and ninth brother to come here. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Yinreng shook his head.
"I'm just feeling unhappy and want to get you two over for a drink."
Yinzhen: "Is it because the Emperor doesn't agree with you going to Fujian?"
"That's right..."
Yinreng did not shy away from it.
"I dream of killing the Japanese pirates."
Yinzhen grasped the key point,
"Second brother seems to be extremely disgusted with the Japanese pirates?"
Yinreng wanted to tell them about the crimes committed by the Japanese in later generations, but he was afraid that they would treat him as a fool, so he took a detour and reminded them tactfully,
"Japan isn't a big country, but it has gold, silver, and copper mines. The quantities are enormous. If they were all mined, they could sustain the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years..."
In fact, it takes time to explore mineral veins and mine minerals, so "a hundred years" is indeed a bit of an exaggeration.
However, the total reserves of gold and silver veins on the island are limited, but if they are all mined, it will be enough for the Qing Dynasty to consume for a long time.
Yinreng's tone was full of temptation, and Yinzhen couldn't sit still after hearing it.
