That morning, three merchant ships were docked at the naval port. The dockworkers finished unloading their cargo and felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts.
With so many valuable items hidden inside the naval port, Qingyan was constantly worried, fearing even the slightest mishap. The managers at all levels dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest.
"Fourth Brother, we've finally sent those things away!" Qingyan watched the merchant ship sail away into the distance, and finally felt a little relieved. These things were gone, and they could be exchanged for quite a lot of goods.
"Of course, from top to bottom, nobody got a good night's sleep." Yin relaxed. "Little darling, you did well this time. Those two managers are both capable!"
Qingyan smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, I personally selected these two."
Yin nodded and led Qingyan back, strolling along as they went.
"Those two are very clever, and they are fluent in various Western languages. So, when they went to do business, they specifically bribed some powerful people in the upper echelons. Therefore, our things are the best of the best!" Qingyan gave a brief introduction to the situation in the West. The people there are the same as those here; most of them have their own selfish motives.
Yin listened very carefully and considered whether he should also send someone over there to take a look. The development there might really be very fast, and it would be good to learn more if he could.
"Little darling, do you think it would be feasible to send a group of students abroad?" Yin remembered that Qingyan had mentioned this phrase before.
Um? !
"You mean you want to go to the West to learn something?" Qingyan followed Yin at the front, walking step by step towards his courtyard. They passed the training ground, where the soldiers were still doing simulated ship training.
"Of course!" Yin had considered it for a long time. With Qingyan around, he could gain a lot, but he hoped to find talented people with concise and simple skills. "We need more talent in the future. If we limit ourselves to this, I will feel somewhat uncomfortable."
Qingyan laughed: "You have really changed a lot. If it were before, you definitely wouldn't have done this. Now that you can accept this new information, I am also very happy."
In the courtyard, the twins were playing with Suzhu, their faces beaming with happy smiles. Yin felt a heavier burden on his shoulders. To give Yiken a more stable future, he had to work even harder.
"Mother, Mother!" Yiken'e saw Qingyan and ran over. She bent down and opened her arms to welcome her son.
"Yiken'e, have you been good these past few days?!" Qingyan got up before Yiken'e did, and when she returned, Yiken'e was asleep again, so the two children hadn't seen their father and mother for a long time.
"Father, why aren't you training at the base?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen even had the head nanny carry her to the base to find Yin, but she didn't find Yin on the training field.
"Did my daughter miss me?" Yin picked up Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen and walked directly into the palace.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen pursed her lips; that was for sure, otherwise she wouldn't have asked at all.
"Yes, I miss you, but Father is nowhere to be found!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen said, putting her arm around Yin's shoulder. "Father, I've asked the head nanny to look for you several times, but she hasn't seen you."
Yin felt very sorry for his daughter's complaints. If he hadn't been busy with the secret passage these past few days, he definitely wouldn't have left his daughter in the courtyard.
Yin doted on his daughter. Every time he came back, he would hold Hutulifengshengzhalafen while having dinner. Yin would agree to whatever his daughter liked.
"Si Si, you're always holding her, that's a bit too much. How old is the little girl already?" Qingyan said helplessly. "The little girl's governess has complained to me several times already, my daughter just won't listen."
Upon hearing Qingyan's words, Hutulifengshengzhalafen, avoiding her mother's gaze, quickly shrank her neck, hoping not to be stared at to death by her mother.
"Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen, is that so? Didn't we agree that you would obediently learn the rules and behave well in front of outsiders, but in private, we could still be like this?" Yin hoped that his daughter could understand that not everyone could unconditionally spoil her.
Sometimes, people who seem nice to you on the surface may stab you in the back.
Now, Yin doesn't want his daughter to know too much. In two years, Hutulifengshengzhalafen will also have to start socializing. If she remains so naive, it might cause her to suffer.
"Father, I know, I've memorized everything the nanny said, but they still keep making me do it!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen also complained. The twins have excellent memories; they can often remember something after hearing it only once.
Yin frowned slightly. How could his daughter be taught manners like ordinary people? As long as she learned the proper etiquette, there was no need to repeat it over and over again.
"Su Peisheng, bring Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen's governess here!" Yin's face darkened. His daughter's body was weak, and how many times did she have to kneel down to perform the correct movements?
Thinking about this made him feel heartbroken.
"Yiken, how long has your nanny been training your sister like this?" Yin asked his son directly, annoyed.
“It started before we went to the capital. They said we couldn’t let our father and mother down. We all remembered it, but the nanny wouldn’t let it go. She even made my sister do the greeting gesture many times.” Yiken’e took the opportunity to complain.
Upon hearing this, Yin was immediately enraged. The old woman was taking advantage of her background in the Imperial Household Department and acting like she had a death sentence.
When the nanny saw Su Peisheng, she was startled. She had heard that Yin protected his daughter. As long as she thought about her own status, she instantly felt justified. All the princesses in the palace were trained by the nannies in this way.
As Yin watched the nanny approaching from afar, she bowed, and Yin spoke while protecting his daughter, not giving the nanny a single glance.
"Are you the little maid's nanny?" Yin glanced at the nanny, who was slightly shifting her knees. "Heh, you want to teach the little maid manners? You don't even understand manners. You servants can understand what the masters are saying, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman's face darkened. She hadn't expected that this man would directly expose her thoughts.
"This servant wouldn't dare! The princesses in the palace are trained in the same way!" The nanny knew perfectly well that the Fourth Prince was looking for trouble.
"I won't talk about how you treat the little girl, I'm just asking you, are your rules right? I'm asking you a question, so move your body!" Yin sneered.
The old woman's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat. What did this man want to do?
"Su Peisheng, go ask the head steward of the Imperial Household Department, why isn't there even a well-behaved nanny? Fine, let the head nanny work a little harder and teach the young maids." Yin narrowed his eyes. "Drag her out and beat her to death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman tried to beg for mercy, but two other old women gagged her and dragged her out.
