Yinxiang pulled Yinzhen into the house, while Yinlu held the account book and looked at Yinzhen with burning eyes, the expectation in his eyes almost overflowing.

He couldn't help wanting to speak, but he held back, wanting to wait for his fourth brother to ask him first.

Yinzhen did not let him down. Seeing him holding the account book, he raised his eyebrows and guessed, "Ninth brother, is this the result of your work during this period?"

Hearing this, Yin'er's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes! My mother and I took over a few stores, closed them for a while, and reopened them. We've already made some progress."

He did not want to take a big step. At his current age, he was not yet able to go out and take control of the overall situation. He could only lay a good foundation with small actions first. After some time, it would be his time to show his skills.

Holding the account book, Yinzhen placed it in front of him, and waited for praise.

Yinzhen looked at the thin account book carefully. When his eyes fell on the first page, he was a little stunned. "Ninth brother, are you cooperating with the Imperial Household Department?"

The Imperial Household Department was a large workshop under the Imperial Household Department, which housed numerous skilled craftsmen who specialized in making items for the palace, including all kinds of food, clothing, and daily necessities.

Hearing the words "Zaobanchu", Yinreng, Yinzhi and Yinxiang also came up and asked, "What what?"

Yinreng looked at the clearly marked lines on the account book and couldn't help looking at Yinzhen in shock: "You kid, do you know how to do it?"

"Hehe..." Yinzhen touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "I just thought that the Imperial Household Department makes so many things every year, and it's a waste to just pile them up in the warehouse."

He muttered to himself, refusing to admit that he was getting something for nothing.

He said he was cooperating with the Imperial Household Department, but in fact he just emptied the warehouse of the Imperial Household Department.

Apart from some items with palace seals and specially provided for the royal family, Yinzhen took all the rest.

He even asked craftsmen from the 42 workshops under the Imperial Household Department to make things for him, including food, clothing, daily necessities and toys. He made whatever he wanted.

"Does Khan Ama know that you are doing this?" Yinzhen asked curiously.

Yinzhen shook his head nonchalantly: "I don't know, but I think Khan Ama shouldn't care about this kind of thing."

If he had to manage even the warehouse of the Imperial Household Department, how exhausted would Khan be.

"You really are... Brother Jiu, you said that running this shop is quite simple."

The store was requested from Concubine Yi, and the goods were moved out of the palace and were all ready-made.

Yinxiang complained, but the next second his mouth was pinched by Yinzhen, "It's not easy at all. It's not easy to open a store and make money in such a prosperous place in the capital."

Among those who can open shops in the capital, 80% of them are owned by high-ranking officials and aristocratic families. Even the remaining 20%, which are simply merchant families, are dependent on certain powerful people, so it is not easy to snatch their business.

Yinzhen talked incessantly to his brothers about his business experience, and from time to time he gave them a look, indicating that they should listen carefully.

In his previous life, he could rely on his status and power to compete with the people for profits, and even got involved in some businesses such as casinos and brothels. He usually had to accept bribes, but he can't do that in this life.

In this life, he has to do business seriously and cleanly, so he might start off slowly.

"But don't worry, even though the start is slow, it won't affect my ability to make money at all."

Yinzhen was full of confidence. He patted his chest and said, "When the ship that my uncle and I sailed together comes back, I will be able to make a fortune!"

" ... ... Wait a minute, Uncle Wu?!"

Yinzhi was listening to Yinzhen's words with great interest, but when he suddenly heard the word "Fifth Uncle", he was stunned.

"No, why are you still working with Uncle Wu to go out to sea? When did you do so many things?"

Not to mention Yinzhi, even Yinreng, Yinzhen and Yinxiang were shocked.

The three of them carefully calculated how long it had been since Khan Ama proposed to set up the Ministry of Commerce, and it was only less than three months!

"No, Yinzhen, tell me honestly, what did you do?" Yinreng asked sincerely. Why did he feel that his brothers were busy running around, but they were not as busy as Yinzhen, a prince who stayed in the palace every day?

Seeing his three elder brothers and one younger brother staring at him, Yinzhen stroked his chin and thought, "The cooperation with Uncle Wu was decided last time when Uncle Wu entered the palace. He provided the boats and the men, and I provided the money. After we came back, we split it 40% and 60%, with him making 40% and me making 60%. "

Western products are still very profitable. After all, things are valuable because they are rare. That’s why Yinzhen wanted to find someone to cooperate in going overseas.

He originally wanted to bring his fourth brother and others along, but the capable brothers were busy with their work, so he didn't dare to disturb them.

He originally wanted to ask his mother for help again to let the Guo Luoluo family go out to sea, but he met his fifth uncle who came to the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. After a casual chat, he and his fifth uncle reached a consensus and decided to cooperate directly.

Up to now, Uncle Wu’s boat has been out to sea for almost a month.

"Uncle Wu is amazing," Yinzhen exclaimed, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, thirteenth brother, you don't know that Uncle Wu's boat has been modified. It can go to sea very quickly, and the journey can be shortened by half. I estimate that he will be back in a few months."

"Renovation?" Yinreng frowned. He thought carefully, patted Yinzhen beside him, and asked him, "Fourth brother, didn't Khan Ama say that he was studying how to upgrade and renovate our ship?"

When Khan Ama asked Cao Yin to lead his men out to sea, he heard Khan Ama say that the Qing Dynasty's ships were bulky and slow and needed to be modified, but until now he has not heard any news of successful modification.

Yinzhen was asked and recalled what Yinzhen said. He swallowed his saliva and speculated with some difficulty: "If Khan Ama really had people research and modify ships, then Fifth Uncle's ship..."

Oh my god, Uncle Wu can't be that bold?!

The two brothers looked at each other, turned their heads away, and ignored the matter.

No matter what, the two of them don’t know about these things anyway.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the people around him, Yinzhen quickly changed the subject, "Alright, alright, let's talk about other things another day. Let's eat first."

Fearing that his third and ninth brothers would keep asking questions, Yinzhen added: "I'm hungry, aren't you hungry?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Yinxiang raised his hand first: "I'm hungry!"

In response to his fourth brother's call, Yinxiang immediately pulled Yinzhen to sit down and occupied the seat on the left, while Yinreng took his time and occupied the seat on the right.

Yinzhi and Yinzhen, who were a little slower, could only step back and sit down. The account book was placed on the table. No one in the group thought about what had just happened and they were all immersed in eating.
