Chapter 23 Take the Nitrate Mine

The two returned to the restaurant with several large basins of ice.

At this time, Li Min temporarily regarded this place as his final destination.

The two waiters in the store helped bring two large basins of ice back to the restaurant.

Although they were curious as to why there was so much ice, judging from Li Min's ability, it would not be surprising no matter what happened!

When the other waiters saw the two of them appearing, they were very curious.

Because their shopkeeper seemed to obey Mr. Zili's words.

It wasn't like this before.

But as subordinates, they did not dare to question too much.

"Mr. Zili, you are tired after a long day. You go upstairs to rest first. I will bring iced honey water to you after a while."

Li Min nodded slightly.

Both ice and honey are extremely precious.

There is actually honey in Zhushan!

It had been a busy day and he was tired.

Haven't gone upstairs yet.

But I saw an old man standing at the door.

When Li Min saw it, wasn't that Kong Yingda?

What is this old man doing here?

Too much money? Want ten more songs?

"Master Confucius, please come in!"

Zhu Shan also saw it and called out.

As for the waiters inside, they showed contempt.

Why is this old man here again?

I was taught a lesson by Li Min yesterday. Are you still here today?

"Is Mr. Zili here?"

Kong Yingda asked.

Li Min is not far away.

"Yes, yes, right there! I'll prepare the pen and ink!"

Zhu Shan thought he was going to buy poems, but he actually wanted to prepare pen and ink.

That was Li Min's business, and he didn't dare say he wasn't there.

I'm afraid it will hinder other people's way of making money.

The arrival of Kong Yingda made people feel a little puzzled.

What is this guy going to do?

Why are you here again today?

Until Kong Yingda looked at himself, he felt that all this was not simple.

Because from Kong Yingda's eyes, he saw some awe, which was different from the awe in literature.

It's more like the feeling a subordinate has for his superior.

"Mr. Zili, you are here just in time. I have something to do with you."

"I won't sell poems anymore, please leave!"

Li Min felt something was wrong, so he said this.

Zhu Shan is shrewd.

That is to say: "Master Confucius! If Mr. Zili doesn't see you, you'd better go!"

Then, ask the waiters to come together and make a gesture of invitation. If he doesn't leave, they may ask him to leave here.

Kong Yingda, however, was unwilling to give up.

"Mr. Zili, the word Zili comes from his name?"

He has a loud voice.

But the people around him didn't know why.

What happened to Kong Yingda?

Why do you say this?

What does his name have to do with him?

Is there anyone else who asks for people’s names like this?

He must be too busy to panic.

Li Min knew that this guy might recognize him.

"Let's go, let's go quickly. They don't want to see you, so don't be so skinny."

Zhu Shan was about to drive him away.

But Li Min said: "Let him come over!"

"please!"

Zhu Shan immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Kong Yingda followed Li Min upstairs.

They went upstairs one after another.

Don't wait for Li Min to sit down.

Kong Yingda saluted.

"I pay my respects to the Sixth Prince!"

"Um?"

Li Min was surprised.

How did he know his identity?

How can you be recognized if you know that you can take it easy?

"Sixth Prince, you are well and well!"

"Hahaha, Bachelor Kong, you can actually recognize me."

"No, it's Your Majesty!"

Huh? Why does it involve Li Shimin?

Could it be that he knows his whereabouts? That's not possible.

That person is so cute.

How could this be done?

"Your Majesty knows my whereabouts?"

he asks.

Since he left the palace, he has never called Li Shimin father again.

"It was the Sixth Prince's calligraphy that caught His Majesty's attention."

It turns out that last year he tried to write an article in thin gold style, not wanting to be seen by Li Shimin.

Then he remembered it.

You must know that the fonts at that time were relatively orthodox.

Basically no one dares to write such a distinctive font.

He Li Min is definitely an exception.

This guy has a really good memory.

It was my own negligence.

But it's okay, let Li Er know that he is doing well.

It's also fun to make him regret it.

"So that's it. Tell me, why did you come here today?"

"I have something I want to ask the Sixth Prince."

"tell me the story!"

Suddenly, Kong Yingda fell to his knees directly on the ground.

"Kong Yingda, what are you doing?"

What is this operation?

Why just kneel to yourself?

"I ask the Sixth Prince to stop selling poems!"

"Ah...is that what your Majesty means? Is he trying to cut off my escape?"

"No, no, if you keep selling like this, it will take a long time for Chen to collect these poems, and it will also cost money!"

The more he said this, the more incredible it seemed to Li Min.

How can I sell my own poems, just like this?

"I don't understand, what does my selling poetry have to do with the court?"

"This is the prince's brilliant literary talent, which is shocking. His Majesty has issued an order that all the poems in your hands must be returned to the book and used as materials for the next year's imperial examination. Most of the poems you sold in the past two days have been purchased by us.

.

I thought that you could finish writing in one day, but I didn’t want to start again today. I spent a lot of money just to buy poems. Now the Ministry of Revenue has no money, and the national treasury can no longer support it! Please show your support,

Don’t sell it!”

It turns out that I don’t earn enough.

Those who buy poems and resell them are the ones who make money.

What a big loss.

At the same time, he is also proud.

Li Shimin said that he was not good, but in fact he still recognized his literary talents.

Who makes him so talented?

Then he said that the Ministry of Accounts has no money and the state treasury has no money!

The Tang Dynasty was really poor.

However, since Kong Yingda asked him so, he must let him do something for him.

Judging from his status.

If you can help yourself solve the mineral problem, that would be great.

He was still thinking about how to get someone to help him.

Someone just happened to come to ask for help.

Therefore, he said: "It's not impossible not to sell, but you have to do me a favor!"

"What's the deal?"

Li Min didn't hide anything.

He said directly: "Help me get the saltpeter mining rights in the east of the city!"

What?

Kong Yingda was puzzled.

Why do this?

At this time, Zhu Shan came up from below.

Holding a bowl of water in his hand.

"Mr. Zili, your ice honey water is here!"

Kong Yingda was very surprised. Li Min had only left the palace for more than a day, but he already had subordinates and was making a good profit.

It seems like he is taking to the water like a fish in water.

On hot days, you can also drink iced honey water.

That is simply a luxury.

At the same time, Zhu Shan also saw Kong Yingda kneeling on the ground.

There seemed to be no reaction at all.

Kong Yingda was ashamed. Should he get up or continue to kneel?

Until Li Min said: "Zhu Shan is one of his own."

Kong Yingda's feeling of shame will be lighter.

At this time, Li Min felt that Kong Yingda was somewhat unwilling.

He stared at his iced honey water again.

It's just something that comes to mind.
