Upon arriving in Mongolia, they did not stay in the local yurts, but went directly to the residence that Yinzhen had ordered to be built.
When the Fifth Prince entered the courtyard, he asked Yinzhen with great surprise, "How did you find such a courtyard, Fourth Brother?"
In such a place, it's extremely rare to find houses built with the characteristics of the capital city.
“I didn’t hire it. I was planning to stay here for a long time, so I had someone start construction before I left.”
The Fifth Prince looked surprised upon hearing this. He did want to build one as well, but when he thought about the money in his pocket, he felt it was unnecessary.
After all, he wasn't short of money, but he still needed to build up his own wealth! Otherwise, when he had many children and they grew up, he wouldn't be able to afford betrothal gifts and dowries.
Don't let the Fifth Prince's young age fool you; he's only a teenager, but he's incredibly thoughtful!
Seeing that the courtyard was quite large, the Fifth Prince immediately felt at ease and settled in.
After resting for a day, the Fifth Prince went to Yinzhen's study.
"Fourth Brother, I've done everything you asked me to do last time. What should I do next?"
Yinzhen said, "Fifth Brother did a very good job."
Someone has already told him that the workshop he built is running almost flawlessly.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother. It's all I should do."
“You did a good job. I’m telling the truth. There’s one more thing I need to do. If you can do it well, your fourth brother will help you make a fortune.”
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince exclaimed with delight, "Really?"
As everyone knows, his fourth brother is famous for making money. He started with a sofa business and now he makes a fortune every day. If it weren't for the sofa business, he would probably still be struggling to make ends meet!
"Would I lie to you?"
"Of course I trust Fourth Brother. He would never lie to me. By the way, Fourth Brother, what do you want me to do?"
"Still construction."
The Fifth Prince was puzzled: Construction?
Can construction work really make money? You must be joking.
Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Yinzhen handed him a geomantic map.
"Take a look at this first."
"What is this?" he asked, taking the geomantic map as he did so.
"We'll find out once we see."
The Fifth Prince nodded, then unfolded the geomantic map and saw a building that resembled but was different from the royal villa.
"Fourth Brother asked me to build this?"
Yinzhen nodded: "That's right."
"Fourth Brother, I do not quite understand what the construction of this has to do with what we are doing now."
What does the development of Mongolia have to do with this building?
"This is the royal villa, built with the Emperor's approval. Whenever the Emperor comes to Mongolia again, he will stay here."
The Fifth Prince still couldn't understand.
Yinzhen continued, "With this royal villa, it can be considered a direct connection between Mongolia and our mainland."
"Moreover, this villa is just the first step. Next, a large trading market will be built based on the location of this villa. If managed properly, the rent alone will be quite considerable."
Collecting rent?
"So we'll just collect rent?"
"Not only that, they can also sell land."
The Fifth Prince was puzzled: "What land are you selling?"
The key question is, where did the land come from?
How do you sell land?
"The land surrounding the villa."
The Fifth Prince was completely bewildered.
Yinzhen had to explain, "You should know that houses in the capital are more expensive the closer they are to the palace!"
The Fifth Prince isn't stupid; he's just a newcomer to the palace and hasn't even been living in the palace for long. He lacks life experience.
If Yinzhen still doesn't understand after explaining so much to him, then he would be truly foolish!
"Thank you for the reminder, Fourth Brother. I understand."
Yinzhen looked at him with satisfaction. Although he was not very flexible, he was down-to-earth and conscientious in his work.
Suitable for work in the Ministry of Works.
"Now that you understand, get on with it."
The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go right away. Fourth Brother, wait for my good news."
After saying that, he left.
Seeing his rather unconventional appearance, Yinzhen couldn't help but shake his head, then continued looking at what he was holding.
Mongolia's development and construction are proceeding in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
As Mongolia prospered, Tong Cheng'er received a letter from the Third Prince's Consort in the capital, informing her that she had given birth. It was only then that she realized how quickly time had passed.
That evening, she said to Yinzhen, "Third Sister-in-law has given birth, and it's a son. It's the first time anyone has given birth like this. Before I came here, Third Sister-in-law had managed the household very well. It seems that good days are ahead!"
Yinzhen felt uneasy as soon as she mentioned the Third Prince's wife; she was like a persistent ghost.
"Cheng'er, her good days have nothing to do with us."
Tong Cheng'er glared at him: "How can it be that it's not related?"
Yinzhen: He misspoke.
After saying that, Tong Cheng'er ignored him and began excitedly preparing a gift for her nephew.
She had just sent out the gift when she received a letter from the capital. The letter was from her family and said that her third sister-in-law was pregnant.
After receiving the letter, Tong Cheng'er began preparing a new round of gifts, sending various tonics back to the Tong residence in the capital.
With two happy events in a row, Tong Cheng'er's mood improved as well.
"There are so many happy events this year."
Yinzhen felt nothing at all; it wasn't a happy occasion for him.
However, he dared not say it aloud.
So all I could say was a perfunctory, "Yes, there are so many happy events."
In the capital, after the Third Prince's wife gave birth to a son, Consort Rong's smile never stopped.
