355 The Flower of the Devil and the Longjing of the Ming Dynasty
The Li Yuanxing part of the TV series was suspended because Li Yuanxing couldn't enter the studio because there were too many reporters.
I spent a day discussing the strategic issues of the three peninsula countries with Mr. Cabinet. Mr. Cabinet also believed that uniting with Silla to attack Goguryeo was the best strategy, but there was also Baekje. Baekje would definitely benefit from it. Datang and Baekje
, Silla and Baekje, Goguryeo and Baekje. This is the focus of the strategy.
The cabinet master couldn't come up with a good idea for a while, so he only suggested that Li Yuanxing form an alliance with Silla first!
Four days, four days after modern times, Li Yuanxing returned to Datang.
This time, in addition to the necessities that the Tang Dynasty could not produce, what Li Yuanxing brought back were all seeds, vegetables, and even some flower seeds, as well as more than a dozen kinds of medicinal seeds that were spread from overseas. And
, the taboo among taboos, the seeds of the devil’s flower.
The seeds of the Devil's Flower are the original seeds of opium. Li Yuanxing didn't want to have this, but the cabinet master asked Li Yuanxing to bring it.
Returning to Datang's study, Li Yuanxing stood there in a daze.
"What's wrong? Did something happen over there?" Wu Zhao asked with concern.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "The cabinet master asked me to bring a seed that I didn't want to bring at all. This thing is the devil's flower!"
Wu Zhao asked Li Yuanxing to take it out, took a look at it and smiled: "It's terrible to be uneducated!"
"What's the meaning?"
"This thing has existed for a long time. More than 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians called this thing the flower of happiness. Later, it was used as medicine in ancient Egypt. The great poet Homer called it the flower of forgetfulness!"
Li Yuanxing only responded with a sneer to Wu Zhao's explanation.
Wu Zhao added: "The Compendium of Materia Medica also has an introduction. You can ask Sun Laodao to talk about it. This thing can cure many diseases, and it can also cure kidney deficiency!" Wu Zhao pronounced the word kidney deficiency very seriously, deliberately
He glared at Li Yuanxing.
Sigh..., Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "I understand that the person who is killed is a person, not a knife. The knife is just a tool, but the problem is that this thing is more terrifying than imagined, especially when I think about it.
The humiliating Hundred Years' War makes my heart tremble!"
When Wu Zhao heard this, he took out a small iron box from Li Yuanxing's study, put the seeds in, and locked it.
"Everyone has taboos in their hearts, so seal them first. However, I still suggest you to find out what kind of people need self-anesthesia. Also, where is the dark interest chain of this thing? I believe the cabinet master sent this thing,
It’s just to give you one more choice, of course, you don’t have to use this method!”
Li Yuanxing nodded: "I understand, this thing can destroy any enemy country!"
"Something more terrifying than the plague, right?" Wu Zhao patted the iron box twice: "This box can be named Pandora's Box. Using our Chinese name, it can be called the Devil's Box!"
Li Yuanxing's expression finally relaxed. He took out a small trailer from the corner of the study and moved a few boxes into the warehouse. Wu Zhao helped Li Yuanxing push them from behind. Even though her little strength could only be a disadvantage, this was also
Xinyi. Li Yuanxing will not call his personal guards to move these things.
It's not because of trust issues.
But Li Yuanxing didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Li Yuanxing spent that night in the bedroom in the study courtyard. When he came to the bedroom, he saw someone being raped.
Bed warming is a kind of ritual unique to nobles.
Because lip farming requires a large amount of fertilizer, all the biogas digesters in Qinwangzhuang have completed a major cleaning. The latest dozens of biogas digesters have been filled with new materials, and all the biogas will be used in the large kitchen of Qinwangzhuang.
The weather is no longer so cold, so the heating has naturally been turned off.
"Why did you spend the night here?" Li Yuanxing gently held Qiuxiang in his arms and asked softly.
Qiuxiang whispered: "Every time His Highness returns to heaven, Qiuxiang is here."
When Li Yuanxing heard this, he hugged Qiuxiang tighter, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Sometimes this kind of care can directly penetrate deep into his heart.
The plowing has ended, and Li Yuanxing is going to patrol the farm in person the next morning to see how the new fields are being opened this year, and also to learn about the progress of several artificial canals. In late February, the weather in Datang has turned warmer, and the weather is freezing in autumn.
This saying has been around since ancient times, but Li Yuanxing was still required to keep it tight.
Just after leaving the village gate, Lu Maofeng came to report: "Your Highness, a total of thirty-eight tea merchants from Zhejiang and Hangzhou want to see you!"
"Thirty-eight people?" Li Yuanxing was about to mount his horse and was surprised when he heard this.
Lu Maofeng recently learned a new move, which is to shrug: "Your Highness, yes, there are thirty-eight people. They submitted their requests according to the rules, and they met according to Zhuangzi's arrangement. Only the two chief historians, as well as several stewards,
Not in the village, the younger one boldly made the decision, thinking that His Highness might be interested in meeting them!"
"You are such a bold decision-maker. Can you give me a reason?" Li Yuanxing handed the riding whip to the guard beside him and asked with a smile.
"They said they had invented fairy tea!" Lu Maofeng laughed.
Li Yuanxing strode forward and slapped Lu Maofeng hard on the shoulder: "Okay, it's really good."
There are still thirty-eight people in the Zhejiang-Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce, including representatives from thirty different tea gardens. Some are the best shopkeepers, and some are outstanding tea craftsmen. There are three heads and stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, and three are the elders of the Chamber of Commerce.
.
Thirty-eight people sat quietly in the conference living room, arranged in the order they sat in the chamber of commerce.
Li Yuanxing called Wu Zhao and went to the conference living room together. He didn't change his clothes, but just put on a general's gown.
"Calculate the time, it's February 29th now, Qingming Festival should be March 6th!" Li Yuanxing asked Wu Zhao in a low voice.
Wu Zhao also replied softly: "Qingming is April 5th in modern times. According to the lunar calendar, it will arrive in a few days. I haven't paid attention to the solar terms recently, but there are reports from the farm that they are preparing to plant vegetables on a large scale. Several people in Guanzhong
There are also new teas picked in the tea gardens, and Liangzhou also reported that the rain this year was good and the tea was good!"
"Longjing!"
"I hope there will be a surprise!" Wu Zhao also said,
Before the greetings and courtesies were over, Li Yuanxing became a little impatient: "Everyone, get up, respect me, keep it in your heart, don't talk nonsense when you have time, and let me see what you have done."
."
With his waist half bent, many people who saw Li Yuanxing for the first time didn't know whether they should complete the etiquette or stand up.
Li Yuanxing did not look at these people. He picked up a wooden box on the table, opened it, smelled it, and then touched it with his hands. The maid in the living room of the conference was already preparing the stove and water. Li Yuanxing picked up the second wooden box.
By the time he arrived, Yuan Chun had already placed the tea sets on the main table.
"I prefer Longjing after the Qingming Festival!" Wu Zhao whispered, and then picked up a wooden box.
"Good tea!" Li Yuanxing is not professional, he is not a professional tea taster. But he comes from modern times, and what he has seen and heard has increased his experience and knowledge.
After Wu Zhao looked at several boxes of tea, he gently pushed one of the boxes forward half an inch.
Seeing Wu Zhao's action, Li Yuanxing put the box back to its original position. Wu Zhao didn't understand, and Li Yuanxing just shook his head gently.
Sitting on the main seat, Wu Zhao brewed six cups of tea in a glass and observed the color of each tea.
However, Li Yuanxing did not move or speak.
The tea merchants were nervous. They just wanted to get a comment, even if it was scolding them, but His Highness King Qin's lack of any reaction left them confused.
"Are you guys waiting for my review?" Li Yuanxing asked softly.
"Your Highness taught me the way of immortal tea to the common people. I am studying it with all my heart, but I am afraid that the way of immortal tea will be insulted. Please comment on it!" The leader of the Zhejiang-Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce made an unusual gesture.
"Your Highness, please comment!" The thirty-eight people, without exception, all stood up.
Li Yuanxing smiled and pressed his hands: "Everyone sit down and ask if the tea is good. I think you all have been dealing with Chinese tea for more than ten years, or even decades. What is good tea? Tea is in the human heart. I am the king alone.
It is unfair to comment on famous tea."
After that, Li Yuanxing signaled for paper and pen, and wrote a seal in front of all the tea merchants.
It's still a bad calligraphy! At least in Wu Zhao's eyes, in Zhu Suiliang's eyes, it can barely be regarded as being able to write. Even though Li Yuanxing's calligraphy has been praised by Lao Wang, in the Tang Dynasty, it is still just a bad calligraphy.
getting Started.
After finishing writing, Li Yuanxing checked it over and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is a form. I ask my father to invite celebrities from all over the world to hold a tea party at Qinwangzhuang Tianchi Villa on the day after the Cold Food Festival. Whose tea is better, and whose tea is the real fairy tea.
Naturally, it will be reviewed by tea lovers all over the world!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Yuan Chun: "Record!"
Yuan Lip immediately sat in front of the small desk next to him and picked up the pen.
"Invite all tea merchants, pottery merchants, and porcelain merchants in the Tang Dynasty to have a competition at Tianchi Mountain Villa to select the world's famous teas and select the best tea utensils. We also invite newspapers in Chang'an City to report the grand event of the tea party, so that the people of Chang'an can also take the second place in the tea party.
Heaven has conditions to enter Tianchi."
Li Yuanxing didn't say what this condition was?
Because he is not sure whether it is based on cultural level, money, or something else, let Cui Dunli be responsible for this.
After Yuan Chuan finished writing, he held his hands in front of Li Yuanxing.
After seeing it, Li Yuanxing said: "The layout of the venue is planned by the Qin Palace, and each exhibitor's chamber is responsible for the layout. This year's number one tea, I will ask the emperor to personally mention it to show the honor!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Everyone, please step back and get ready."
According to common sense, the Zhejiang-Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce should have bowed and left at this time, but after eye contact with several elders, the leader stood up and said: "Your Highness, our Zhejiang-Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate a thousand guan for the tea party.
Various expenses!”
Wu Zhao nodded with satisfaction, these guys are very smart.
But Li Yuanxing shook his head: "You will pay for the decoration of each Tianchi's booth. There is no need for Qin Wangzhuang to accept your money."
When Li Yuanxing said this, he saw Wu Zhao glaring at him and thought that this girl had become accustomed to collecting money. However, for the sake of Wu Zhao's face, Li Yuanxing changed his words and said: "But I will accept it as you wish!" (
