Chapter 409 Jealousy



Thirteen and Fourteen went out to sea and returned to Weihaiwei once a month. Unfortunately, the first two times they went out to sea, they didn't get anything other than catching some fish.

They did find an island, but on that small island there were only birds and monkeys, no people at all.

The scenery is pretty good though.

The two grew up in Kyoto and had no idea about the sea. After coming to Weihaiwei, they faced the endless deep sea every day, which of course was shocking at first.

But after watching it too much, I feel bored.

The scenery on the island is different. There is a shallow sea near the island with clear water and pleasant scenery.

After listening to the two people's description, Yinreng asked them to go to the uninhabited island again and clear out a place to build a base.

Anyway, those islands are still unowned, whoever discovers them first will own them.

These bases can become a base for fishermen or cruise fleets in the future.

Yinreng also had a sudden inspiration and designed the world's first snorkeling goggles using rubber and glass.

After taking it to the beach and demonstrating it to my two younger brothers, they became loyal fans of the snorkeling goggles.

After going out to sea to the deserted island, every day besides arranging his subordinates to clear trees and weeds, he would go into the sea with goggles to observe the conditions on the seabed.

Soon his whole body was tanned and his skin peeled off.

Only then did the two of them calm down.

After Yinreng made the swimming goggles, he thought of another very practical thing, which was a microscope.

The role of microscopes in medicine and biology is undoubtedly enormous, and they can accelerate human understanding of the world.

Yinreng only knew some of the principles of microscopes. After all, the biology classes he took in junior high and high school were not in vain.

But of the parts of the microscope, he only remembered the eyepiece and objective lens, as well as the rack that held the eyepiece and objective lens.

He completely forgot about the rest.

But just knowing these few parts is already a huge advantage for others who study microscopes.

The research on the steam engine was on the right track, and Yinreng was worried about having nothing to do, so the microscope became his new goal.

Yinreng found two family members of employees in the logistics department who were good at carpentry, and began to polish the first microscope of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, he belonged to the category of liberal arts students in the future, but after coming to this world, reality forced him to become a science and engineering man.

Sometimes he would think, how great it would be if he had studied science and engineering from the beginning in his first life.

Who knows, it might come in handy in this era.

However, this idea only lasted for a very short time before he put it out of his mind.

If he had studied science and engineering, it is hard to say whether he could have paid off his family's debts.

When he graduated from graduate school, even though the competitive pressure was not that strong, the speed at which he made money was definitely not as fast as in the financial industry.

Thinking that after working for two or three years, he was earning tens of thousands of yuan a month and managing funds and stocks worth tens of millions, Yinreng felt that humans were truly amazing creatures.

If those things can make money, why would he still work so hard for a fixed salary?

While the few of them were busy having fun, the capital city was also very lively.

The cause was that Hua Qi fell in love with a prostitute in Qianxiang Tower. Unfortunately, Chang Ning's youngest son Wenshu Bao also fell in love with the woman.

The two were jealous of each other and fought in Qianxianglou.

Hua Qi's status was not as high as Wenshu Bao's, but Wenshu Bao's mother was the daughter of Wu Yingxiong. Because of the Three Feudatories Rebellion in the early years, the court had no good impression of Wu Sangui's family.

Chang Ning initially felt some sympathy for Wu, but as time went by, that sympathy gradually faded, and he began to neglect Wu and her son.

The concubines were allowed to make things difficult for Wu, which led to Wu's death shortly after the birth of Wenshu Bao.

Hua Qi was two years older than Wenshu Bao, and he had many friends to help him, so Wenshu Bao had one leg broken by Hua Qi.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Although Chang Ning didn't think much of his youngest son, he was still his biological son. Hua Qi broke Wenshu Bao's leg so casually, which showed that he didn't take him seriously.

What's more, the reason for the fight between the two was for a woman of humble origin.

So Chang Ning clamored for an explanation from Malhun.

What could Malhun do? Of course he beat Hua Qi severely in front of Chang Ning.

Although there are no serious injuries, I still have to stay in bed for two or three months.

After defeating Hua Qi, Malhun still humbled himself and compensated Changning with 5,000 taels of silver.

The matter just passed like this on the surface.

But is it really over?

Actually, not.

Malhun and Changning had an alliance relationship, and both of them joined Yinsi's camp. Changning should not have been so disrespectful to them.

But this time, Chang Ning didn't know what was wrong with him. He kept using his status and position to pressure others and forced Malhun to punish Hua Qi.

It would be strange if Marhun was happy.

The relationship between the two began to crack, a small crack.

As the "master" of the two, Yinsi comforted them twice afterwards.

On the surface, the two of them returned to their previous state.

In fact, Yinsi was one of the people who knew the inside story.

The fight between Hua Qi and Wenshu Bao was itself a complete conspiracy.

The mastermind behind this was Yinzhen, who was far away in Tianjin Port.

It turned out that when Yinzhen was cleaning up the Beile Mansion a few years ago, he found several spies in the yard, some of whom were planted by Changning and Malhun.

In addition to these people, Yinzhen also discovered people planted by Concubine De, and a few whose backgrounds could not be found out. Yinzhen suspected that they were planted by Kangxi.

After all, he has been working in Tianjin Port most of the time for many years. Even if any of his brothers wanted to fight for the throne and try to influence him, they should not place spies in the Prince's Mansion.

Only by placing him at Tianjin Port can we more easily obtain information about him.

He couldn't do anything to Kangxi and Concubine De, so he could only vent his anger on them.

Chang Ning planted spies in his house, and Yinzhen had some suspicions, after all, he was one of the people who investigated the White Lotus case.

Chang Ning suffered such a great loss because of that incident, and even lost his regency. If he didn't retaliate, he would not be Chang Ning.

As for why Marhun placed spies in his mansion, he was not very clear.

But not knowing doesn't prevent him from taking revenge.

Hua Qi and Wenshu Bao are just the beginning. There will be no peace in their backyards from now on!

Before Yinzhen took action, he passed the message to Yinsi through Yin'er.

Malhun did not provide much help to Yinsi, and always regarded himself as his uncle, trying to take advantage of Yin'er and make money.

Yinsi was very annoyed with Marhun and was hoping that Yinzhen would cause him some trouble.

So the two hit it off immediately.
