Yin'er was truly a coward in front of his brother. His scalp started to tingle after his sixth brother had just stared at him for a while. His brain raced for a long time but he couldn't find a perfect excuse for himself. In the end, he simply gave up and decided to let it go. He was tired.
"Sixth brother, you know that I'm not very talkative. Can you please be magnanimous and forgive me this time?"
Yinzhen could be said to be the younger brother that Yinzo watched grow up with his own eyes. Yinzo knew exactly what kind of person he was. He had never intended to bother with Yinzhen, so even though Yinzhen was not begging for mercy very sincerely, Yinzo just raised his hand and hit him on the forehead twice with his fingers, and that was the end of the matter.
"Xiaojiu, although they say that it's hard to change one's nature, I'm already thirty years old. From now on, I have to be more cautious in what I say and do. Okay, don't stand in front of me now. Go find a place to sit down. Let me ask you, what brings you here today?"
Of course, Yin'er had something important to tell Yinzuo today. The reason he didn't mention it just now was that it happened suddenly and he didn't think of it for a while. Now that Yinzuo reminded him of it, he suddenly felt that the two blows he had just received were in vain. No, why didn't he think of this just now?
"Sixth Brother, if you hadn't mentioned it, I'd obviously forgotten about it. I came to you today to discuss something. Your guess was right. Although that kid Tetsuya has taken that position, the people of Japan are now suffering because of his power struggle. Yesterday, I received a letter from him. The meaning is very simple. He plans to borrow some money from me in his own name..."
Yinzuo was not stupid and he understood what Yin'er said. If the money was borrowed in a private name, it was obviously not used to restore people's livelihood. At this critical juncture, I'm afraid that Zheye would do something weird again.
In the past, Zheye was at best a businessman with a royal background in Japan, so it was no big deal if Yinzhen was close to him. But now the situation is different. Zheye is now the emperor of Japan, and it is not up to Yinzhen to decide whether to lend the money or not. Of course, Yinzuo has no say in this matter either. So after listening to Yinzhen's narration, he stood up and took Yinzhen out. As for where they were going, there was no need to ask, because the final decision on this matter would have to be made by his father.
When Yinzuo and Yinzhen arrived at the Qingxi Study, it was bustling with activity. The new and old crown princes, Yinreng and Yinzhen, had clearly been drafted by their father. They were sitting on either side of Kangxi's desk, each furiously scribbling over a pile of memorials. As for Kangxi, he wasn't idle either. Hadn't he seen the fruit and snacks before them? He must have worked hard to eat.
"Hey, which direction is the wind blowing today? How did our Prince Zhao have time to come and visit me, an empty-nest old man? You haven't been to Qingxi Book House for a few days. I thought you forgot which way the door of Qingxi Book House faces?"
Haha, look at what he said. I wonder how long it has been since he last visited his father. But what's the reality? At most, he hasn't been here for four or five days, but now is obviously not the time to have a serious argument with his father. Yinzuo held out his hand to Yinzhen, and the other party immediately handed over the letter that Zheye had written to him. After Yinzuo took it, he quickly walked a few steps to his father and handed the letter in front of Kangxi. After seeing Kangxi take it, he turned to the side, pulled a chair over, and squeezed in next to Kangxi. He raised his hand and took a piece of cake and began to eat.
Although Yinzuo's actions were all casual, Kangxi's expression suddenly became serious. He had watched Yinzuo grow up since he was a child, and he would never let down his hand on major issues. Since he handed the letter to him, it must be a big deal.
The letter that Zheye wrote to Yin'er was not long, and Kangxi finished reading it even if he read it carefully for a while. After reading the letter, Kangxi did not rush to call Yin'er over to ask questions, but asked Yinreng and Yinzhen to stop what they were doing and handed the letter to them for them to read. After Yinreng and Yinzhen had read the letter, the father and son moved to the round table in the flower hall outside the study and sat down.
"Yinzhen, do you think we should borrow this money?"
Yinzhen is the crown prince now, so there is nothing wrong with asking him first about this matter. Yinzhen thought about it for a moment, then nodded seriously.
"Reporting to Khan, I think we have to borrow this money. Let's not worry about what Zhe plans to do with it, but our goal is clear. We want to conquer Japan, and what we lack most now is time..."
Everyone present agreed with Yinzhen's answer. Yes, even if the money was not lent, Japan was now in turmoil due to the power struggle and the people were living in poverty. Zheye did not have the courage to turn against the Qing Dynasty at this time. However, this might quickly arouse Zheye's vigilance and precautions. Once this happened, their future actions in Japan might be more or less affected.
After Kangxi questioned Yinreng, Yinzhen, and Yin'er, he turned his attention to Yinzuo, who was walking around the room because he was tired of sitting.
"Yinzuo, stop wandering around and come sit next to me. Let me ask you, do you think we should lend them this money?"
Ask him? He will definitely say lend it to you. Not only lend it to you, but also lend it to you with compound interest. You have to know that those Japanese devils are a bunch of bastards. The more you slap them, the more they will treat you as their father.
"Father, look at the way you ask this. What's the matter? Do you have a grudge against money? How can we miss such a good opportunity to cheat the Japanese? Not only do we have to borrow this money, but we also have to collect the interest on it. Father, please don't look at me like that. Didn't you say before that these Japanese bastards are afraid of power and don't know how to be grateful? If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the harder we hit them now, the more obedient they will be?"
After Yinzuo finished saying this, he suddenly remembered a sentence he saw on the Internet in his previous life. The general meaning was that when dealing with people like the Japanese, you don’t have to try to understand their thinking, because you can’t. Just beat them up, and they will figure out the rest themselves.
Kangxi himself was a domineering person, and Yinzuo's remarks resonated deeply with him. After the father and son discussed it, Yinzuo wrote a reply letter to Zheye, which roughly meant that the money could be borrowed, but in addition to paying us high interest, you also have to give us the right to use two ports. Of course, we don't have to do anything else. Collaborative development and common prosperity, isn't this the goal we set from the beginning?
"Father, why don't you guess that after this letter is delivered, will Zhe agree to our conditions?"
