During the two years that Yinreng ascended the throne, Kangxi did a lot of small things in private, but Yinreng didn't do much to interfere.
Because all his actions were under Yinreng's nose and posed no threat to him at all.
Moreover, because Kangxi frequently used people to pass messages outside the palace, the secret lines he had planted in the palace had been almost cleared out by Yinreng within these two years.
This made Kangxi's life increasingly miserable, and his temper became more and more irritable as he waited day after day.
Of course, he was not a person with a good temper. When he was the emperor in his early years, he would give money and benefits everywhere when he was in a good mood, and it was common for him to beat people personally when he was in a bad mood.
That stinky mouth just says whatever he wants and has no idea what it means to hurt others.
But at that time he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and everyone had to bear the consequences of what he did. Now he can only bring up filial piety everywhere to make Yinreng be cautious of him.
Yinreng could understand that he was frustrated and wanted to find a way to vent, but he could not understand how his mind could be so dirty.
The Queen Mother has been worthy of everyone in her life except herself. If she still has to bear such a bad reputation when half of her body is buried, Yinreng feels that he is not worthy of being a junior.
Yinreng was really angry that time.
In front of Kangxi, he personally executed the eunuch who was Kangxi's trusted confidant.
From then on, Kangxi never caused any trouble around him again.
On the fifth day of the second month of the second year of Xiangyi, Guaerjia was sent to the delivery room.
At that time, Yinreng was discussing the details of the bank with Yin'er. When he heard that Guwalgiya was about to give birth, Yinreng simply left Yin'er behind and hurried to Kunning Palace.
Yinzhen understood that the queen's childbirth was related to the foundation of the country, so he was not angry at all. Instead, he was looking forward to whether the queen's first child would be a boy or a girl.
After thinking about it, Yinzhen also stood up and followed.
He has indeed lived a good life in the past two years. His businesses are now spread across the capital and beyond, and even in the counties surrounding the capital, he has businesses.
Without Yinreng restricting him, he had already begun to make plans further away.
Yinreng suggested that he directly combine those industries into a group, a state-owned group.
When they were princes, Yinreng took the initiative to change the profit sharing ratio they had agreed on. Yinzhen alone took 20% of the net profit, and of the remaining 80%, 50% went into the national treasury and 30% was distributed as dividends to the princes.
Yinreng himself did not move a cent.
It's not that he is generous.
But he was not like Kangxi, who could not move at the sight of silver.
When Tianjin Port was not open and the commercial street was not operating, the profits brought by the Imperial Household Department's industries were enough for Kangxi to squander, but he was a person who put profit above all else.
He also likes to show favor to others.
After being taught a severe lesson by those parasites, Kangxi began to strictly monitor the Imperial Household Department.
When Yinreng ascended the throne, his methods of managing the Imperial Household Department were more stringent than Kangxi's, so the Imperial Household Department's annual profits are now very considerable.
What's more, there is also Kangxi's private treasury...
Although he couldn't claim it as his own now, he had already gone in to take a look.
There were more than one million taels of gold in it, which is equivalent to more than ten million taels of silver.
Together with other rare items and jewelry, the total value of Kangxi's private treasury exceeded 70 million taels of silver.
How much silver is in the national treasury today?
More than 30 million taels!
Kangxi’s private treasury was equivalent to two national treasuries.
However, the national treasury was filled with real gold and silver, and the rare items in Kangxi's private treasury accounted for the majority.
Even though Yinreng felt that he "regarded money as dirt", his heart began to beat fast after visiting Kangxi's private treasury.
He and Yinzhen started doing business, and over the past twenty years they earned nearly tens of millions of taels, but he could never keep the money.
When he ascended the throne, there were only more than 4 million taels of property in the private treasury of Prince Yi's mansion.
Compared with Kangxi, tsk... comparing people will make you die, comparing goods will make you throw them away.
In addition to being responsible for food, clothing and other expenses within the imperial palace, the Imperial Household Department also had a portion of its funds flow into the Imperial Clan Court to pay the salaries of members of the royal family.
Yinreng carefully calculated that even if all of Kangxi's sons were promoted to princes, the total annual salary of the royal family would not exceed 500,000 taels.
The 70 million taels in Kangxi's private treasury and the 80 million taels paid as tribute by the Japanese pirates were enough for the Qing Dynasty to support these people for more than 300 years.
Tsk…
It is said that the Japanese pirates nowadays are all "good guys". After the ten-year period is up and the Japanese pirates have paid tribute, Yinreng decided to let Yinzhi and others do something big.
Nowadays, we have steamships that can carry dozens of times more spoils.
Yinzhen followed Yinreng all the way to Kunning Palace, and saw that the delivery room was full of eunuchs and palace maids rushing around, and the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau had also been invited over early.
I started to feel nervous unconsciously.
Yinreng had experienced such things several times in his previous life, but when the situation came to him, Yinreng still couldn't help but sweat in his palms.
Guaerjia was already quite old, and giving birth to a child was like going through the gates of hell.
Yinzhen walked to Yinreng and stood beside him. Looking at his second brother who had a frown on his face, he reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law is blessed by fate and will definitely give birth to the little prince safely."
Yinreng forced a smile but couldn't say a word.
In his previous life, his youngest child with Guaerjia was born when he was thirty years old.
He is forty years old now.
The sky gradually darkened. Nearly three hours had passed since Guaerjia entered the delivery room. At this time, the empress dowager and the virtuous concubine also came to the outside of Kunning Palace.
