Chapter 3 Li Gang is in a good mood

 Of course, there is no need for Uncle Yi to do such small things as buying tea. Back at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Uncle Yi found Li Kuan and hesitated several times. Finally, Li Kuan couldn't bear it and asked: "Uncle Yi, what do you want to say?"

Tell me?"

Uncle Yi sighed and said quickly: "Your Highness, you asked me to sell all our land except Zhuangzi yesterday, do you still want to sell it?"

Uncle Yi's eyes were shining with hope. He hoped that Li Kuan was just a quick talker yesterday and not really wanted to sell.

Li Kuan suddenly realized what he said, and then said: "That's right, we can't sell them all."

Uncle Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his master was not completely crazy yet.

"Except for the 10,000 acres of fertile land in Zhuangzi and Henan Prefecture, sell out all the rest."

Uncle Yi almost spit out the foam and swallowed it, suffocating himself to death.

Didn't you sell everything? It turned out that you were leaving 10,000 acres.

Uncle Yi said that his master might be crazy. At this time, he really wanted to go to the palace to see his old master Li Yuan and ask him to send an imperial doctor to take a look.

"Your Highness, if our family sells, we will have to sell 80,000 acres of farmland at once. Half of our family's business will come from grain reselling."

The righteous uncle begged so hard that he even asked people to bring in the family's account books and explain them bit by bit. Li Kuan listened slowly, waited for him to speak, and said calmly: "Gather a lot of land in your hands and accumulate a lot of food.

What’s the use? It will disappear sooner or later anyway.”

Uncle Yi sighed and left helplessly to control the matter.

Li Kuan looked at Yi Shu's leaving figure and shook his head. At this time, he was sincerely grateful to the ninth-grade Zhongzheng who had been left behind during the Jin Dynasty to manage the family and let the servants take the master very seriously. Otherwise, he, a young man, would say

Whether it works or not is a matter of debate.

After Yi Shu left Li Kuan's place, he quickly returned to his room, wrote a letter, found a close servant, and handed him a token engraved with Yuan Cong's Imperial Guard.

"Give this letter to the Supreme Emperor. Your Highness the King of Chu will go crazy."

Li Kuan didn't know about Uncle Yi's little tricks. If he knew, he would just smile casually, all for his own good.

After seeing his uncle away, Li Kuan went to his study and tried to recall the tea-frying process he had seen online in his previous life, then wrote it down and gave everything he needed to his uncle.

A rumor has recently arisen in Chang'an City that Chu King Li Kuan has gone crazy.

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but when someone said that the King of Chu was selling off fertile land in large quantities, everyone believed it.

If you are not crazy, who will sell the land?

Many distinguished nobles from aristocratic families showed up with the attitude of giving it a try, and made deals with the Prince of Chu's Mansion to purchase land.

When they heard the news, they thought it was a joke at first, but when Li Kuanzhen asked his uncle to make a deal, everyone realized that the time has come to be quick and slow.

The Chu Prince's Mansion has a lot of land, with a total of 90,000 acres at its peak. This is the foundation of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

The 80,000 acres of land are sold very quickly. This family buys some, and that family buys some, and it is gone very quickly.

There are more and more rumors that King Chu is crazy.

During the period of selling the land, Li Xiaogong made a special trip to see Li Kuan. Li Yuan also sent the imperial doctor to see Li Kuan. After knowing that Li Kuan was fine, Li Yuan could only attribute it to Li Kuan's lack of IQ, stupid child, and being frightened by Li Shimin a few days ago.

Arrived, for this reason, Li Yuan scolded Li Shimin, "You are a piece of shit, you will bully the elderly and children.

For this reason, Li Yuan decided to send Li Gang, a famous scholar, to be Li Kuan's teacher.

As for the land he sold, Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. He just sold it. When a natural disaster hit some place in the future, he asked Li Yi to make preparations, and he could buy tens of thousands of acres cheaply.

Li Gang received Li Yuan's order and decided to visit as an ordinary person first.

When Li Gang arrived at Prince Chu's Mansion, a servant immediately came forward and saluted respectfully: "Old man, please come with me."

This made Li Gang very confused. Has his identity been exposed? But the servant did not speak along the way, and Li Gang just followed him.

I walked into the mansion doubtfully. The huge mansion was quiet. Occasionally I saw one or two servants leading a few ordinary people in through the side door or the small door. They also looked at him hastily and left quickly.

Li Gang followed the servants to a place, which was a separate courtyard. When he approached, he could hear shouts inside.

"This is tea. You can drink it with confidence. I, the Prince of Chu, will give you the wages after the tea tasting ceremony."

The childish voice made Li Gang confused. He knocked on the door and heard only a voice coming in. Li Gang walked in doubtfully and saw a young man wearing thin clothes standing on a high place. A group of people wearing servant clothes were holding pots.

Pour tea for each common person.

Every common person holds a large bowl in his hand, which contains hot water and a few pieces of tea leaves.

Seeing Li Gang's arrival, all the servants' eyes lit up. Uncle Yi quickly asked Li Gang to sit down, gave him a big bowl, threw in two pieces of tea leaves, and poured in boiling water: "Old man, you are a guest. Today we have tea at the Prince of Chu's Mansion."

If there are enough water pipes, you can drink it. Just tell us how you feel after drinking it."

"And don't worry, you are still here to try tea at your age. We will double your wages, which is twenty dollars an hour."

Li Gang lowered his head in confusion and looked at a few tea leaves in the bowl. Is this tea tasting?

Am I out of touch with the times, old man?

I remember that tea shouldn’t be made with oil, onions, ginger, garlic, etc. as ingredients and cooked slowly over low heat?

Why here, just a bowl of boiling water and two tea leaves are enough?

With doubts, Li Gang took a sip after the water temperature dropped a little.

After drinking the warm water, Li Gang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he couldn't help blurting out:

"The aroma is rich and rich, the taste is strong and thick, and the aftertaste is sweet and long-lasting."

This tea makes him appreciate the sweetness of the tea better than the tea he drank before.

Li Gang's expression of enjoyment made Li Kuan's eyes light up. He rushed to Li Gang and couldn't help but said: "This old man, I don't know your name."

Li Gang looked at the brightness in Li Kuan's eyes and hesitated whether to reveal his identity.

However, he asked doubtfully: "Why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu so excited?"

Li Kuan replied excitedly: "I want to promote this way of drinking tea, but there is a lack of people to set an example. And I see how the old people enjoy drinking tea. I hope you can be our spokesperson. If you agree, I will give you a month."

Ten coins."

The righteous uncle next to him couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, and wailed in his heart: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't teach His Highness the King of Chu well. After selling the land, His Highness spent money to hire a spokesperson.



Li Gang looked at Li Kuan's sincere eyes and couldn't help but fall into silence.

Ten guan a month is really a lot.

Moreover, what is this spokesperson?

However, out of fun, Li Gang still agreed with a smile.

Li Kuan quickly waved to his righteous uncle.

"Pay these tea drinkers their wages and let them all leave."

"Then you ask our caravan to buy the tea-producing areas I told you before, buy the tea production line, and hand over everything except the final roasted tea to others."<

/p>

"If it doesn't work, outsource these to others."

Li Kuan said that he had just sold 80,000 acres of land and had plenty of money.

Afterwards, Li Kuan had someone pay Li Gang twenty guan.

"Old man, go back and eat more good food. Come to Prince Chu's Mansion tomorrow morning and I'll have someone make you two good clothes for publicity."

Li Gang was stunned as he held the twenty strings in his hand.

Didn’t I come to see what kind of person King Chu was and decide whether to teach him?

Why did he become Li Kuan's subordinate inexplicably?

Moreover, this guy also paid me 20 pounds of wages and will make me new clothes tomorrow. This is the funniest thing I have heard recently.
