Before Kangxi could finish speaking, the child already understood his meaning. "Don't worry, there won't be any unfair treatment. Whenever a prince gets married, I will give them 200,000 taels of silver. You, my father, are so generous, so I, your mother, can't be too stingy."
"Oh, and the princesses too. Give them another 100,000 taels as a dowry, so they'll have some money and can live a better life."
Kangxi: …………
Emperor Kangxi felt a mixture of envy and jealousy, for even when he allocated funds to his own son, it was from the national treasury.
He couldn't possibly take 200,000 taels of silver from his own private treasury to give to each of his sons, let alone allocate another 100,000 taels to each of his princesses.
"It's good to be rich."
This only strengthened Kangxi's resolve to open the seas, and preparations were already underway. If the profits were high, he would definitely increase the scale of opening the seas in the future. It was truly enviable that someone like him was right in front of him, reaping the benefits of opening the seas and spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at a time.

Originally, she thought she could use the eldest prince's happy occasion to cheer him up, but when the time came, it just came. In December, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang still couldn't make it through the year.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has passed away, and the entire palace must go to mourn her.
Emperor Kangxi fainted several times from crying. After Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang died, the grandfather and grandson had no more estrangement.
What remained in Kangxi's heart was all the support and guidance he received from his grandmother.
To him, his current grandmother was not bad in the slightest.
Of course, everyone was smart enough to know that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was important to Kangxi, and Kangxi's performance in mourning her was even more earnest and dedicated.
However, there is a question: where exactly is Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang buried? Although the official statement was that Emperor Kangxi missed his grandmother and wanted to spend more time with her.
However, Wanwan knew that Huang Taiji's tomb had long been marked with a stone to break the dragon (this is just a made-up story, I just heard that there was such a story).
She was originally supposed to be buried with Huang Taiji, but that can't happen now. However, since she is the Empress Dowager, she cannot be buried casually, so her coffin remains in Cining Palace.
Although Wanwan doesn't remember much history, she seems to know that the Empress Dowager was actually buried during the Qianlong era.
During the mourning period, Zhangjia was already pregnant, and the mourning was quite strenuous, causing her to bleed. Therefore, Wanwan only allowed her to come and mourn for two hours each day before returning home.
Although Emperor Kangxi was unhappy that such an unlucky thing as bleeding happened at his grandmother's mourning hall, there was nothing he could do. After all, she was his child, and he could only let her cry for a while.
This incident was a huge blow to Kangxi, and he was listless and weak for several days.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi said he would observe three years of mourning for his grandmother, but the emperor had a saying that the sun could replace the moon.
Wanwan thought about it for a moment, but still didn't stop it. Luckily, it wasn't a real three years, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand it. Eating vegetarian food all day long, and the child can't eat vegetarian food all day long either.
Besides, it's generally said that the mourning period is 27 months, but at most it's only three months, which is quite normal.
During these three months, Emperor Kangxi did not enter the inner palace. Even when he did, he would only visit the children and never stay overnight.
Of course, the place he visited most often was Jingren Palace, since it housed the twins, whom Emperor Kangxi always thought about!
Thank you all for your love and support.
