On the 20th day of the first lunar month, government agencies in various places have "opened seals" to handle office work, and slaves from various clans and royal families who have served as officials in other places have also begun to organize the delivery of various raw materials, migrant workers and craftsmen to Shanghai.

When Zhu Yanzhi, Xu Shizhen, Haifeng, Hu Chengkun, Wu Tianming, Wan Jiantu and others were busy, Yinzhen took a break from his busy schedule on the 24th day of the first lunar month and married Zhang Mengjiao to Liuchun Garden with glorious charm. [The latest updates are all in search.]

This surprised the gentry in Shanghai. The Fourteenth Master actually married such a rebellious woman. It is self-evident that Zhang Yuanlong could swallow all the shares of cotton in one bite. Naturally, Yinzhen's reputation for lust spread wildly, and the major ship owners also began to consider whether they should look for a few beauties in exchange for the shares of cotton.

What followed was Zhang Yuanlong’s announcement of all cotton prices 10%. In this way, Yinzhen became the target of public criticism, and his reputation of lust and greed immediately overshadowed the integrity and loving the people. However, the weaver households did not respond much. Zhang Bu announced the purchase of cotton cloth in various prefectures, counties and towns. The purchase price of cotton cloth has not dropped, and there is no need to worry about no place to sell it. As for the price of cotton cloth among merchants, it is not something they should care about.

At the house in Liuchun Garden, Yinzhen smiled at Zhang Mengjiao, "In order to let you pass by the family with glory, the reputation of being honest and loving the people that I finally won immediately became lustful and greedy. Should you compensate me well?"

Zhang Mengjiao's nose wrinkled slightly, "The Fourteenth Master is really a cheap man and is still good at it. My father is just a scapegoat you have introduced. You should make good compensation for me."

After his thoughts were exposed, Yinzhen didn't care. He bullied him and smiled, "Okay, I'll compensate you well."

Zhang Mengjiao smiled and avoided, "I'd better consider first, will anyone make a fuss about this?"

"I love to do it or not." Yinzhen said indifferently, "My uncle's hands are clean and neat, so let them do it."

In the Forbidden City, the Palace of Peaceful Heart, Kangxi sighed after reading the secret letter from Jiangnan. This fourteenth old man, is it a means to buy people's hearts? Is it because of that woman? Humph, I see how you can cleanse this lustful and greedy reputation?

After learning about this news, the Crown Prince Yinreng only recorded one thing. These trivial matters cannot defeat Yinzhen. It is better to accumulate them if you don’t feel itchy and impeach them together in the future.

The eighth prince Yinsi just muttered a few words and didn't take this matter seriously. The matter was clean, and he naturally knew it.

The fourth prince Yinzhen was concerned about this matter. With Yinzhen's shrewdness, how could he make such a low-level mistake? He looked at him for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he came to Wu Sidao's place. After Wu Sidao looked at the news, he glanced at Yinzhen with approval, and thought for a while before he spoke, "The Fourth Master's suspicion makes sense, but the news is too simple. Sidao thinks it should have nothing to do with Zhang Yuanlong. Please ask someone to check the woman's background and then analyze it."

Shanghai was busy in February, and sea merchants from Taiwan and Guangdong began to transport frosted sugar to Shanghai. A large number of merchants, missionaries and foreigners also arrived in Shanghai with ships. A large number of raw materials and personnel were also imported to Shanghai by land every day.

A huge construction site has been formed in the Honggang area of ​​Shanghai. The shipyard and the Naval Academy have taken the lead in breaking ground. With the influx of a large number of people, foundries, iron smelting plants, firearms, clothing factories, gunpowder workshops, etc. have successively broken ground. Haifeng and other subordinates and Shanghai officials are immediately busy.

Yinzhen was busy writing letters and replying to people all day long. The three registrations, Shu Qi and Zhi Guest Master, were immediately so busy that they couldn't find the North.

"I have no objection to building a church in Shanghai, but it is difficult to ask the court to return the old Catholic church." Yinzhen said with a headache to several missionaries who came here. In the fourth year of Kangxi, the court implemented a ban on religion. Kangxi ordered that only missionaries were allowed to move around Guangzhou. The Catholic church in Shanghai was abandoned and had been rebuilt long ago. As soon as these missionaries arrived in Shanghai, they came to Yinzhen to fight.

"His Royal Highness, the Catholic Church is our private property, and private property is sacred and inviolable. Due to the reasons of the court, the loss of our private property will be caused. We hope that the court will provide compensation. This is completely a legitimate reason." Bai Lihua argued with reason.

This matter is indeed indebted, but Yinzhen was not good at expressing his opinion, and he did not dare to report it. He was making any joke. If he angered Kangxi, he would not allow the missionaries to stay in Shanghai. Who would he cry? I thought that he would also expect these missionaries to help recruit foreign craftsmen, sailors and other talents. He would not have to deal with them patiently. "Father Bai, I will submit your request to the court. As for what the court thinks and ideas, I don't know, and the time for the approval will be even more difficult to say. You know, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population. The court is busy with all kinds of things every day. It is afraid that it will be difficult to attract the attention of the court if you go back first and wait for the news? As soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately."

Bai Lihua is not stupid either. He knew that this was a matter of waiting until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. "Your Highness the Fourteenth Prince, we came to Shanghai this time not only had more than 30 priests, but also helped you invite more than 50 sailors and craftsmen. Of course, if your Highness needs it, we will continue to help your Highness lobby for invitations."

More than fifty sailors and craftsmen came? Yinzhen was happy when he heard this, but looked at Bai Lihua in a dilemma. "I would like to express my personal gratitude to you for your arrival. Shanghai will become more and more prosperous. All friends who come to Shanghai will find their own opportunities here. However, this prince is really helpless in returning the old church."

Seeing that Yinzhen was so nervous, Bai Lihua also realized that this matter was probably difficult to deal with. If he could not obtain the support of the 14th prince in Shanghai, it would be difficult for them to gain support. He had to settle for the second best, "Your Highness, see, can we compensate us for a piece of land and build another church with our own funds."

Yinzhen smiled cheerfully and said, "This is no problem. I personally donated you five acres of land and another two thousand taels of silver. However, my Jiang Customs and Naval Academy need to learn French and English, and the current customs still need translation urgently."

"On behalf of all the Jesuit missionaries in Shanghai, I would like to thank His Highness the Fourteenth Prince for his generosity. We are very happy to serve His Highness." Bai Lihua said respectfully and bowed respectfully, and at the same time he felt relieved. This is a good omen. With the fourteenth Prince taking the lead in donating, the situation will be easy to open up.

Yinzhen was very busy in Shanghai, but Kangxi took the crown prince Yinreng, the third son Yinzhi, the eighth son Yinsi, the tenth son Yinyi, the thirteenth son Yinxiang and other princes to visit Mount Wutai again.

When Yinzhen saw the Di Bao, he was very suspicious. Why did Kangxi always like to run to Mount Wutai? Could it be that Shunzhi became a monk in Mount Wutai? Unfortunately, he couldn't go to find out this time. He was so busy that he didn't touch the ground and had no time to think deeply. After throwing the Di Bao to Zhang Mengjiao, he hurried to meet guests.

After a busy month, all kinds of things finally began to figure out and started to get on track. Yinzhen breathed a little relieved. Kangxi had already returned to Beijing, and it was time for him to return to Beijing. March 18th is Kangxi's birthday, which is the birthday festival. The birthday gifts were prepared long ago. He didn't want to and dare not give it to him. If someone tampered with it, it would leave a very bad impression in Kangxi's heart. Kangxi was a very picky person.
