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

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

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!

The other waiters were very curious when they saw the two of them appearing.

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 you iced honey water 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 Kong, 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.

For fear of hindering other people's way of making money.

Kong Yingda's arrival made people feel a little puzzled.

What is this guy going to do?

Why are you here again today?

Until Kong Yingda looked at him, 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! Mr. Zili doesn't see you, you'd better go!"

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

Kong Yingda 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 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. I don't want to see you, so don't be so skinny."

Zhu Shan was about to drive him away.

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.

"Old minister pays homage to the Sixth Prince!"

"Um?"

Li Min was surprised.

How did he know his identity?

How could you possibly be recognized if you knew you could take it easy?

"Sixth Prince, you are welcome and safe!"

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

"No, it's Your Majesty!"

Um? Why is Li Shimin involved?

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.

"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.

"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 that?

"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 imperial examination in the coming year. Basically, the poems you sold in the past two days have been acquired by us. .

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

Who made him so talented?

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

This Tang Dynasty is really poor.

However, since Kong Yingda begged 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 surprised. Li Min had only left the palace for more than a day, but he already had subordinates and seemed to be making good money.

It seems that 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."

Only then did Kong Yingda feel less ashamed.

At this time, Li Min felt that Kong Yingda was a little reluctant.

He stared at his iced honey water again.

It's just a plan.
