The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 24 The Bottom Line
Zhu Shan saw this battle, and Kong Yingda had recognized Li Min long ago.

So, it didn't feel particularly shocking.

"Zhu Shan, give Kong Yingda the iced honey water."

Zhu Shan was puzzled.

Why do this?
A lot of money!

But still as he wished.

"Yes!"

Kong Yingda was flattered and looked at the honey water in the bowl with ice cubes floating.

"Is this really possible?? This is precious."

What's more comfortable than drinking a bowl of iced honey water in the big summer?

"Of course, you can drink as much as you want."

Zhu Shan is shrewd,

Said:

"I'll go get another bowl."

Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, go get another bowl?
It seems that the financial resources in this small shop are not bad.

You know, now the ice can't be bought with money.

A while ago, the ice in the entire Chang'an was almost exhausted.

There is not much left.

It's even more impossible to get some.

Even the stock in the palace is not much.

"This ice, it seems that few people in Chang'an sell it. A small piece will be fried for [-] cents or more. This bowl is all money! Every sip is money! And this honey is also a rare thing. Ah, two things combined, I won't drink it a few times in my life!"

As he spoke, drinking the iced honey water, his expression became very enjoyable.

Sweet and cheerful.

Makes people forget the heat of summer.

As for Zhu Shan, he quickly got another bowl.

He carefully placed it next to Li Min.

Li Min picked it up gently, took a sip, and it was really fun.

As for Kong Yingda, he had already finished drinking a bowl.

"Kong Yingda, get up, don't drink on your knees. It's not good-looking!"

"Yes... oh no, the sixth prince hasn't agreed to my request, so I can't get up."

This old guy is really stubborn.

"You didn't promise me, didn't you?"

"This……"

If I want Kong Yingda to help me, it seems that it is not enough just not to sell poetry.

So, he continued: "If you are willing to help me, I can give you ten catties of ice to cool off the heat. How?"

As soon as the words came out.

Kong Yingda showed a shocked expression.

ten pounds...

That's a lot.

Even Li Shimin can't give that much at one time.

"However, the mining right of this nitrate mine belongs to the state-owned industry. I'm afraid... your identity... Your Majesty, he's afraid..."

In the end, I was afraid that I couldn't help, and I took the ice again. What should I do?

Li Shimin knew what he did and would definitely not agree.

It is still possible to help.

But he was willing to help, and everything was much easier.

So Li Min said again:
"Of course, the state-owned industry naturally has to exert its value. You go and tell your majesty that this mining right is what Zhu Shan wants."

"Oh? Well, maybe."

Zhu Shan was certain in his heart, but immediately returned to normal.

After all, Li Min is not a prince now.

Li Shimin hated him again, and it was impossible to follow him.

It's different if it's folks.

"Of course, mining rights are determined in the form of rent. How about I rent it for 3000 taels of silver a year?"

If the former conditions are not tempting enough, then the latter is definitely quite attractive.

Instead of keeping a useless nitrate mine, it is better to maximize its benefits.

Li Shimin is not stupid, he must be able to weigh the pros and cons.

He will 100% say yes!
"In that case, it seems to be possible. But it depends on His Majesty's intention, and his pricing is the main thing."

"Kong Yingda, I will give you a reserve price here. If it exceeds 5000 taels, then there is no need to rent the nitrate mine. I hope you can negotiate."

"By the way, there is also a way to pay. I can pay for one year first."

Kong Yingda wondered, he has so much money?

As everyone knows, he really has.As long as a period of time passes, isn't that 5000 taels easy to come by?
After thinking for a while, Li Min said, "Tomorrow, at this time, I want to hear good news from you."

"Before then, did you still sell poetry?"

Kong Yingda felt that this matter should be negotiated.

"Don't worry, I won't sell it."

He doesn't want to sell anymore, there is a better industry, he won't do it?

What poetry is still sold there.

How much money can you make selling poetry a day?

Making ice, a few breaths can make a day's money, right?
"Okay, that's for sure!"

"By the way, don't forget to issue the official document! I only recognize that! Verbal is not allowed!"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Kong Yingda is in a good mood

"Okay, go back!"

"The old minister retire!"

He was about to get up, but he couldn't get up because he had been kneeling for too long.

In the end, it was Zhu Shan who helped him to get up.

"Zhu Shan, you are ready to bring back the ice to Kong Yingda."

"Yes!"

The two went downstairs.

Li Min, on the other hand, leaned comfortably on the edge of the windowsill and watched the people coming and going.

From tomorrow, his rapid wealth will begin.

First set a small goal and earn him 9 taels of silver.

At this time, the emperor, the crown prince, concubine and others were still living frugally in the palace, and their lives were very unsatisfactory.

Thinking of this, he smiled knowingly.

After a while.

Zhu Shan is back.

He said cautiously: "Sixth prince, we really need to spend 5000 taels of silver to rent a nitrate mine."

"What do you know, with fifty thousand and fifty thousand, or even more, don't you earn this kind of money?"

fifty thousand?

Zhu Shan thought he had heard it wrong.

How could there be fifty thousand?
Twenty Wen for a bowl of ice, 5 taels of silver, that's 5000 million Wen.

How many bowls are there?

Lots and lots...he doesn't count!
This is Zhu Shan's narrow vision.

If you only rely on ice, it will definitely not make money.

What if it's something else?
That doesn't mean you have to make a lot of money.

"Is this really possible?"

"You do not believe?"

"Believe, believe...how can you not believe the words of the sixth prince!?"

"Follow me, nothing is impossible. Work hard, your achievements don't stop there."

"Yes! Then I'll go down first."

Zhu Shan was very happy, so he went down, and the little two below were puzzled.

There seems to be something wrong with their shopkeeper.

To be obedient to a young man.

They can't figure it out, they don't know the way, it's better not to think about it.

Speaking of Kong Yingda, he quickly returned home.

Ling Jiading took out ten kilograms of ice and said, "Come on, prepare sugar water, add ice, and let each of the children in the family have a bowl. Everyone has a share."

Having said that, the entire Kong family was immediately shocked.

I haven't seen ice for a long time.

Mrs. Kong asked, "Husband, has Your Majesty finally bestowed ice?"

Kong Yingda smiled.

About to reply.

However, someone shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

what!At this time, Li Shimin came to find himself.

The ice was still by his side, and before he could clean it up, Li Shimin had already walked in.

He was startled.

Li Shimin came at the wrong time!

"Old minister greets His Majesty!"

The Confucius Mansion was shocked, and the emperor actually came to visit!
