Early in the morning of the 12th day of the 12th lunar month, the edict of Yinzhen as the general administration of Customs was passed to Shanghai, and it also mentioned that Yinzhen was asked to return to Beijing to report his work.

Since he was going back to Beijing, Yinzhen naturally wanted to rush back to the capital for the New Year. He immediately arranged what he had. After calling Shanghai Feng, he rushed to the Naval Academy, the Firearm Factory, the Foundry Factory, the Shipyard, the Iron Smelting Plant, and the Clothing Plant were expected to be completed until March next year. The two new ships of 2,000 materials in Zhang Yuanlong Shipyard have been launched. Now all the docks have begun to increase their power to build new ships in full swing. He doesn't have to worry about these, the only thing is that he is worried about the children of the royal family. [.]

When he arrived at the Naval Academy, Yinzhen immediately summoned the squad leader and announced four disciplines: First, three days off during the Spring Festival, if anyone dares to cause trouble in Shanghai, they will be fired immediately. Second, the training will be carried out according to the normal plan, and the queue training will be strengthened. The Naval Academy’s school building ceremony is about to be held, and a military parade will be held at that time. Third, the four new ships that have been launched will be used for training first, and the students will be taken on the boat to adapt to the offshore. Fourth, the small matters will be under the responsibility of Wu Ge and Yande, and the major matters will be reported to Wanyan Haifeng.

After condemning everyone, he left Wu Ge and Yande, instructing them to respect Western sailor instructors and translation instructors, to restrain the students and not to disturb the local area. Of course, he was also inexorable to encourage them.

In mid-October, Yinzhen was ordered to rectify and regulate the management of overseas trade ships, but he had no experience in this area and had to explore everywhere, find some elderly officials, and gather them together to formulate management rules and regulations. He was not anxious about this matter, and was preparing to wait until the regulations restricting the outflow of rice were issued before introducing them.

Seeing that Yinzhen had not taken action for a long time, the wealthy and wealthy families of the aristocratic families couldn't help but take the opportunity and they all deliberately waited and watched. However, as soon as the news of Yinzhen as the customs supervisor spread, these people immediately became anxious.

The customs chief supervisor, all the customs in the Qing Dynasty will be under his jurisdiction in the future. The Fourteenth Master is not a stable master. This year he set up a cotton export specialty. God knows that he will make another monster next year, but there is one thing that everyone knows that if you have a good relationship with him, there is only benefits but no harm.

Isn’t Zhang Yuanlong the first to surrender, and it has started to shake again in a year, and it is even more prosperous than before. As long as he wants a share of cotton cloth, who doesn’t treat him like a Bodhisattva? Without saying this, Zhang Yuanlong bribed Liangjiang Governor Gali to resell a large amount of rice, and was reported to him that he would have been banished and exiled before, but now he has not injured a single hair. The new ships of 1,500 and 2,000 are still put in the water one after another. It’s all because the Fourteenth Master is covering him behind him.

The eyes of the maritime merchants were very bright, and the abacus was also clamoring. As soon as the news spread, no matter how far or near, any related to the maritime trade would flow into Shanghai and Liuchunyuan. The large marine traders of Shanghai and surrounding counties, the owners of the ship, the Tang family, Sha family, Zhang family, Yin family, Gu family, Xu family, Wang family, etc. all rushed towards Liuchunyuan as quickly as possible.

Yinzhen, however, closed the door to thank the guests. He discussed with Zhang Mengjiao's visit to the capital in the back house. It has been almost a year since Zhang Mengjiao entered the mansion, and it is time to pay homage to the dock. Although Zhang Mengjiao was reluctant, he also knew that it would be a matter of time before he went to the capital. He could not give those sisters who had not met the same as being favored and arrogant, so that it would be difficult to deal with in the future. Since Zhang Mengjiao was going to accompany him, Yinzhen did not dare to delay and set off for the capital early the next morning.

On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the annual end of the "Four Great Hengs" was completed. Since the imperial court issued the "Regulations and Act to Regulate the Regulations and Regulate the Counting Numbers" in September last year, the Counting Numbers in the country have monopolized the national Counting Numbers industry as quickly as possible. Banking and billing numbers in various places have gone bankrupt and changed careers. The "Four Great Hengs" dominated the national market without any effort.

Although he invested a lot in the early stage, in nearly a year and a half, the net profit of the "Four Great Hengs" still reached an astonishing 5.6 million, far exceeding Yinzhen's previous expectations. Seeing the statistical results, Zheng Shichang was also shocked and didn't know what to do for a while. Although he had never had any experience in managing such a large-scale ticket account, based on his years of experience, he felt that some of the funds should be intercepted for emergencies. Although Kangxi was the biggest boss, he still believed in Yinzhen the most and decided to report it after Yinzhen came to Beijing to discuss.

At the same time, for the first time, he felt that the shares in his hands were hot. With the development momentum of the "Four Great Hengs", his annual profit will only get higher and higher in the future. His Zheng family owns 10% of the shares, and the dividends alone are more than 500,000 yuan each year. It is really eye-catching. He is really scared until now.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Kangxi issued an order to carry out a series of appointments and removals of senior officials:

Xiao Yongzao, Minister of Personnel, was the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace.

He was transferred to the Minister of War, Wang Yu, and was promoted to the Minister of Rites. Xu Yuanzheng, the Censor of the Left Chief Censor, and was appointed to the Minister of Works.

He promoted the vanguard to command E Shan as the commander of the Han army in the Border White Banner.

The commander of the Guards, Bo Tang, was the commander of the left-wing vanguard.

He was promoted to the Governor of the Grain Transport and was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He Shou, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was appointed as the Governor of the Grain Transport.

He was promoted to the Governor of Huguang, Guo Shilong, and was appointed Minister of Justice.

He was promoted to Governor Zhao Shenqiao of Pianyuan and was appointed as the left censor of the Censorate.

Most of this series of personnel appointments, removals and transfers were related to the Crown Prince Yinreng, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and the Eighth Prince Yinsi. The three of them were all shocked and secretly speculated about Kangxi's meaning.

On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, Yinzhen and his party arrived in Tongzhou. This place was only forty miles away from Beijing. Seeing that it was too late, Yinzhen was about to ask to go to Luhe Shuimayi, but saw someone shouting on the shore, "Is it a merchant from Shanghai?"

Yinzhen couldn't help but wonder, who wanted to block here to see him? Just as he was about to ask, the man said, "I wonder if there is any news about Zheng Qingyuan?"

Yinzhen understood as soon as he heard this, he was Zheng Shichang's man. He didn't know what urgent he had, and actually came here to see him. He immediately ordered: "Dai Lisheng, go and greet him." Dai Lisheng is Dai Zi's grandson, and he was newly appointed as a personal guard. No one knew him.

Not long after, Zheng Shichang hurried over. After seeing the ceremony, he said, "Fourth Master, time is urgent, so the subordinates have to make this worst." As he said that, he told the situation of the "Four Great Everlasting".

After hearing this, Yinzhen looked at him with appreciation, pondered slightly and said, "Your idea is correct. You should leave a part for backup. Printing and papermaking research and development requires a lot of money. Moreover, such a large bank account cannot be without the reserved cash. This year, we will take out four million to pay dividends. In the future, we will leave 20% as reserve funds every year to prepare the accounts and do not make any public statements."

"The Fourteenth Master really has a long-term vision." Zheng Shichang couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, "In addition, there is another thing about the shares in the hands of the Xiaguan..."

Before he finished speaking, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Why, I think it's hot for money?"

"Thinking about it is like dreaming, there will be a day when you are worried about the amount of money you have." Zheng Shichang smiled self-deprecatingly: "However, Xiaguan's shares are indeed a little more. I don't know how many people are jealous. After a long time, it is not a good thing."

Yinzhen put himself in his shoes and thought for him. It was true. Although Kangxi had an order, he did not allow anyone to attack the Zheng family's shares. However, Ming did not dare to do so. However, the Zheng family was his own banner and could not fall. After meditating for a while, he said, "I have a big stall now. You can choose someone who is good at managing finances to help me. If you go back and choose someone who is smart and capable, I will ask the emperor to add him to the guard. Don't consider the matter of shares now."

When Zheng Shichang heard this, he was immediately grateful. He was able to hand over the 14th Master and the Emperor at any time, but there was nothing to worry about. "The 14th Master is very kind, and the Zheng family will never repay you."
