In the Dahua Empire, within the Imperial City, at the Zhou Residence of the Minister of Personnel, a middle-aged man in splendid robes sat in the highest seat, squinting his eyes, waiting for the person on the guest seat to speak.

The middle-aged man sitting on the guest seat set down his teacup, pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth to say, "This matter with Tang Country, without Lord Minister's care, is ultimately difficult to manage."

This individual was a renowned merchant of the Dahua Empire, his wealth amounting to millions and considered a prominent figure. His restaurants spread across Dahua and were involved in gambling and other industries.

Minister Zhou Qiang was in his prime, deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor and held significant power, acting prudently.
