Du
Ruhui said,"Yes!" In the eighth year of Wude, there was once a businessman in Suzhou who colluded with the government to plot against Kong Yan's restaurant business in Suzhou.”
"What was the result?" Li Shi Min was curious.
"It's a success," said Du Ruhui.”
Fang Xuanling added,"Within a year after that, there were no more Kong Yan's businesses in Suzhou. No grain, no wine, no sugar, and all businesses related to Kong Yan were cut off in Suzhou.
About half a year later, the businessman who successfully plotted against Kong Yan's business was expelled from Suzhou, and the officials who colluded with him were impeached and imprisoned…"
"Four years ago, he was already able to affect the economy of a city?”
Du Ruhui shook his head and his expression became solemn."This has nothing to do with him. He has never competed with others for profits. Other than Wild Goose Falling Pavilion, all his businesses are groundbreaking.”
Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes and said,"You mentioned him today because you think he has the ability to relieve the disaster?”
Du Ruhui thought for a moment and said,"This minister thinks that his business is too big and can't continue to let it go. This minister suggests that he enter the capital.”
"This Young Master Kong Yan has another nickname, the Great Philanthropist Kong. It's said that whenever there's a disaster somewhere, he will secretly donate some food." Li Jing said with a smile.
Now that the national treasury was empty, if His Majesty summoned him, he would not dare to be stingy.”
"How much can he donate?" Li Shi Min asked with a frown.
In the past two years, there had been constant disasters, and the national treasury was really out of money.
"At least five million taels of silver.”Li Jing smiled kindly.
"Hiss ~"
Li Shi Min gasped.
"Did he offend you?" Li Shi Min said with certainty.
"Hahaha, I heard that Duke Wei's daughter is still unmarried and wants to recruit this Young Master Kong Yan as her husband.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
Li Jing's face darkened.
Li Shi Min's heart skipped a beat,"It seems that you all think that he can take out five million taels?”
"According to my investigation, five million is no problem."”
"Oh? Since that was the case, what name should he use to recruit them?”Li Shi Min asked calmly.
The ministers were silent.
What reason was needed to recruit a merchant into the capital?
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Li Jing and said,""Since State Duke Ying has the intention to take Kong Yan in as his son-in-law, why don't Your Majesty fulfill his wish and bestow the marriage to him?”
Li Jing's expression changed slightly. If Li Shiming didn't know who Kong Yan was, he would naturally want Kong Yan to be his son-in-law.
But now, Li Shiming was obviously afraid of Kong Yan. If they were to marry, it would be asking for trouble.
"Lord Zhangsun might not know, but my daughter is already engaged.”Li Jing narrowed his eyes and said,"In addition, Kong Yan might already be married.”
Li Shiming looked at Kong Yingda and asked,""Is Kong Yan married?"
Kong Yingda looked conflicted. He wanted to say that he didn't know, but seeing Li Shimin's expressionless face, he didn't dare to lie.
"Not married." Kong Yingda said.
"What does he look like?" Li Shimin asked.”
Kong Yingda secretly sighed and said,""When I saw you at the beginning of the year, you had delicate features and were very handsome!”
"I see." Li Shi Min nodded and said,"The disaster relief is decided! As for Kong Yan, since he was a descendant of Confucius, he was recruited into the capital and first entered the Imperial College.”
"..."
After the court session, the officials surrounded Kong Yingda.
"Old Kong, you're not being kind. Didn't you say that you've severed ties with that kid? Why are we still meeting at the beginning of the year?" Cheng Yaojin's expression was unfriendly.
Most of the others were the same.
"That's right. He didn't even give you his birth characters when he asked you for them. Now that His Majesty has noticed, he'll be in trouble in the future.”
"I think His Majesty wants to take him in as his son-in-law.”
"..."
The ministers followed Kong Yingda and chattered.
Kong Yan's business was too tempting, especially when he didn't compete with the people for profits.
"Each person has ten jars of the limited edition flower wine.”
In the end, Kong Yingda had no choice but to use his killer weapon.
"Old Kong, you're really not kind.”Li Jing said faintly.
Kong Yingda's scalp went numb as she said,""This old man has really expelled him from the Kong family!”
"Haha…" Everyone laughed coldly.
"..."
Li Shiming was in a huff as he walked to the Qingning Palace where Empress Zhangsun was.
"What's wrong?" Empress Zhangsun asked curiously as she helped Li Shimin change into ordinary clothes.
"Today, I heard of a person I have never heard of before.”Li Shi Min gritted his teeth.
"Who is it?" Empress Zhangsun was even more curious.
"Kong Yan."
"It's him." Empress Zhangsun's eyes lit up.
"Hmm? Do you know Guanyin?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun.
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said,"I've heard of him. Why…is the disaster relief lacking money? Does His Majesty want to make an example out of him?"”
Li Shi Min looked surprised and asked,""Why would you think that?"
"The Guanzhong region is suffering from a severe drought. If Your Majesty mentions the richest man in the world now, other than asking him for silver, ChenQie can't think of a second reason.”Empress Zhangsun chuckled.
Li Shi Min nodded and snorted,"I only found out today that the Tang Empire has produced the richest man in the world!"”
"Is His Majesty worried that he is too powerful?"”Empress Zhangsun asked.
"Shouldn't I be worried?”Li Shiming said in a low voice,"The national treasury can't relieve the drought in Guanzhong, but he can!”
"According to this concubine's knowledge, Kong Yan is also known as a good person.”
Empress Zhangsun served Li Shimin a cup of tea.
"That depends on whether he dares to see me!”Li Shi Min took the teacup and said,"If he is magnanimous, he will not be afraid of me. However, if he has ulterior motives, he will definitely not dare to come and see me.”

Suzhou City, Peach Blossom Cove.
This was a special courtyard. It faced the lake and was surrounded by peach trees.
It was early spring, and the peach blossoms were blooming. The lotus leaves in the lake grew extremely vigorously, complementing the pink peach blossoms.
In the lake, there was an ordinary fishing boat that was not rowing. It was floating in the lake. The surrounding lakesides were vaguely watching this small boat.
On the boat, a young man in plain clothes lay lazily, looking at the drifting clouds in the sky.
The young man was extremely beautiful. His hair was untied, and there was a luster in his black hair. His eyebrows were like a painting, and his eyes were incomparably clear. He looked like a weak and beautiful young man, but he was more seductive than a little flower.
"Five million taels right off the bat.”
The young man yawned, changed to a more comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
At the same time, several people gathered in the Peach Blossom Cove.
"Tomorrow we will go to Chang 'an. Young Master has always been low-key, so an ordinary carriage will do.”
"Yes, 3,000 secret guards will enter Chang 'an as commoners to ensure that Young Master will not encounter any trouble.”
"In addition, transfer five million taels of silver from the eastern treasury to Guanzhong to ensure that the Imperial Court will not use this as a bait to attack Young Master.”
