"Wall frost?" Yinzhen frowned slightly, "How do you remember that wall frost is used to make firecrackers?"

"Yes, you can make firecrackers and ice." Wu Lingzhu nodded, "You cannot eat ice made from saltpeter directly. There is a poisonous substance in it. It can only be used to relieve the heat or to freeze things."

Yinzhen watched Wu Lingzhu talk eloquently. The little Fujin he married was like a book, you never know what the next page will be.

Wu Lingzhu's five senses were sharp and she felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him. "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Fu Jin knows so much." The master held Wu Lingzhu's little hand, and Yinzhen sighed in his heart, "I have never understood these things."

"What's the matter? I understand that I don't understand either! I'm just bored and like to read books. Occasionally I see one or two methods. But I'm different. I've been very busy since I started my business trip. I don't have time to read it.

These things! Everyone is good at different things. Otherwise, why would there be hierarchies in this world? It’s just because everyone’s location is different!”

The ancient system was more conservative, while the modern system is relatively loose and has relatively liberal control over the people.

In fact, no matter in that era, there are hierarchies, and the rich and poor in modern times are very distinct hierarchies; the rich do things more conveniently and quickly than the poor, and their connections are not comparable to those of the poor.

The same was true in ancient times. Knowledge, the ancient feudal hierarchy was more distinct than the modern class concept.

Yinzhen was not comforted at all, but secretly made up his mind to read more miscellaneous books; miscellaneous books are not necessarily bad, it just depends on whether they can get rid of the bad and get the essence.

"There is no need to comfort me." Yinzhen thought openly, "Since saltpeter is so useful, I should let people buy saltpeter and stockpile it."

"There's not much saltpeter, so it's a good idea to stock up on some." Wu Lingzhu led the man into the house. The servants outside were still standing in front of the ice basin, curiously going back and forth to study. After returning to the house, Wu Lingzhu said:

"Saltpeter is a kind of ore. It's better to let people search for this kind of ore in various places. Rather than buying it from outside, it is more suitable to have something in our hands that is real."

It is not worthwhile to buy saltpeter from outside every year. It is better to buy a saltpeter mine, mine it yourself and still trade it.

Yinzhen nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "Fu Jin and I have thought of something."

"It's good if you have ideas. Our mansion is not short of money, but you will use a lot of manpower and material resources in the future, and money is indispensable." This is what she is planning now. Liulichang has passed a clear path, and they all know it.

It is better not to show the above-mentioned income from other businesses.

The other princes and elder brothers have properties one by one, but they do not have very profitable livelihoods. Among the current princes and elder brothers, no one is wealthy except for Prince Yinzhen. Yinzhen is rich, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years.

With more than a million taels, plus the dowry property left behind by Queen Tong after her death, he is a truly wealthy brother.

From the usual expenses for food, clothing and living in the palace, everyone probably thought that they had not saved much money; but they did not know that most of it was in her hands. Yinzhen had no other expenses on weekdays, only food and clothing.

It's just better. Not to mention Yinzhen, let's just say that her own dowry has added more than 600,000 taels of silver, not to mention the properties she has purchased one after another.

The combined property of the two of them is probably richer than that of the current prince.

Yinzhen smiled and nodded, "I will come up with all these ideas. Don't think too much or harm yourself."

"Okay, I've said so, I don't want to think about it so much." Wu Lingzhu shook her head and put aside the complicated thoughts. She should believe in her brother; no matter whether it is unofficial history or official history, as long as her brother can be forbearing, be forbearing, and be patient.

, you will definitely be able to sit in that supreme position.

"You are my blessing. Everything is done by me. You can just enjoy all the honors I have given you." Don't work too hard or make him worry every time he thinks about it.

Wu Lingzhu agreed without thinking, "Well, do you want to tell Huang Ama about the method of making ice from saltpeter?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. We will wait until we find the saltpeter mine." Yinzhen pondered for a moment and then said: "If we find it, I will put it in your name."

"Are you afraid that the emperor will be suspicious?" Now that the prince is the orthodox emperor, Emperor Kangxi fully supports the prince. The other princes and elder brothers can be excellent and capable, but they cannot threaten the prince's status.

It has to be said that the prince is the only biological son of Emperor Kangxi, the others were all picked up, and the difference in favorability is too big. It is no wonder that the eldest brother's mentality was unbalanced later. Emperor Kangxi did not like the eldest brother in the later period, and the prince was in front of him.

Showing off one's strength, the younger brothers behind him have all grown up and are capable of competing for status and power.

The prince was later defeated. She had no sympathy for him at all. He started from such a high level and ended up being kicked out. It can only be said that he lacked ability and had a bad character. He enjoyed the best treatment and wealth among all the princes.

, without matching ability and character, he deserves to be kicked out.

Don't say that the prince was forced. If the prince was good, he would not be alienated from all his brothers. He maintained his own identity and believed that he was superior to all the princes and elder brothers. He was condescending and looked down on other brothers. In the later period, the prince had many problems.

It's not enough, it's surprising that the brothers are convinced; if the prince gets along well with his brothers from the beginning, can keep up with him later, and has tolerance, who would dare to touch his beard?

Emperor Kangxi wanted to temper the prince, but unfortunately, he couldn't help him, so there was nothing he could do.

Look at Emperor Yongzheng, who endured for decades and evaded the prince at every turn. He had a very good temperament, not to mention his ability, and he was dedicated to serving the people. It was a pity that he died young.

"Well." Yinzhen's face was calm and indifferent, "Huang Ama doesn't want us sons to threaten the second brother of the prince, whether it is power, money, or even level of excellence. I have attached to the second brother of the prince these years, but I feel

The second brother of the prince has become alienated from me."

When Wu Lingzhu heard Yinzhen say these words for the first time, she understood that it was not that he didn't care about Emperor Kangxi's opinion of him, but that he couldn't care about it; Emperor Kangxi had drawn a boundary between the Chu River and Han Dynasty early in the morning, and they, the princes and elder brothers, were

You can jump around as much as you want within this line, but it won’t work if you get out of line.

"Master, don't think too much, just stay neutral; you don't have to rely on anyone, stay neutral, just like the fifth brother, no matter what everyone is fighting for." Wu Lingzhu thinks this is also good, "You are not old now.

Da, take advantage of the fact that the prince has a problem with you, and position yourself accordingly."

At least in the later period, he didn't have to be hindered by the prince. He only had to show brotherly respect at the right time so that Emperor Kangxi would not doubt him.

Yinzhen was also thinking about this issue, "Your idea is very good, but will the second brother of the prince let me go?"

"It's okay if you don't let it go. You should show your attitude and let Huang Ama know that it's not your fault; it was the prince's intention. Even if the prince regrets it later, Huang Ama will not let you support the prince again.
