After returning to Beijing, when he presented himself to the emperor, he talked about the people's feelings in various parts of the Yangtze River and the potential direction of business taxation, as long as some business strategies were modified as appropriate, the tax in the south would be greatly increased.

An increase in taxes enriches the treasury, and the emperor was of course of great interest.

Lin Lin always said something, but the most beneficial thing was the salt policy reform and the tea ceremony.

After the emperor personally tasted the "Three Kui Rain Buds" brought back by Lord Shi, he also felt that the flavor was really different, and he sighed that Lu Yu's research on the tea ceremony was really extraordinary.

In fact, in the first two or three years, the imperial court knew that the rice and grain produced in the south could not supply the whole country, and had vigorously promoted the "prohibition of alcohol", because a large amount of rice grain was needed to make wine. If there is not enough to eat, and so much rice is wasted to make wine, why not starve to death more people?

People can't drink alcohol, so they naturally have to drink something else, and this tea is naturally the first choice.

Everyone drinks alcohol, and everyone drinks tea instead, and the sales of the tea ceremony will naturally increase significantly, and there is no need to rely on the Western Regions. When the tea merchant is rich, he naturally has the ability to pay more taxes, and this small strategy can make the country rich, so why not?

The emperor tasted the new tea, looked at the future, the north was peaceful, the country was rich and the people were safe, and he was very emotional, and he only hoped that this day would come sooner.

When the excitement came, the emperor ordered someone to prepare the four treasures of the study, and with a stroke of the pen, he wrote down a few big words: "The first tea in the world".

Lord Shi immediately knelt down and thanked him. As the Minister of Economy of the DPRK and China, he did his best to pay taxes for the economy of the whole country, and also to consider the affordability of the people, among which the difficulties were unknown to the world, and at this time he was approved by the emperor, which means that what he has done for so long has not been in vain.

Even though he almost died in Huangquan several times, he always left a breath to come back to face the emperor, and his hard work over the past few days has also been affirmed, how can he not make him cry!

…………………………………………

For more than a month, Li Huizhi has been guarding Qijin.

When they rescued her that day, her whole body had been beaten to the point of being inhuman, and her flesh and blood were blurred, and it was really tears for those who saw her. If it weren't for Sun Runan's superb medical skills, she might not have been able to save her life.

The seven-pound parents stayed next to her all day long, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, they couldn't stand it a second time, and I hope God would have mercy on him and not take this child away.

It took a whole month for seven catties to open their eyes.

She saw her old parents, and she also saw the haggard eldest lady, her eyes were sour, and she cried. She never imagined that she would come back to life.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you're going to be fine soon." Li Huizhi also choked up a little. This kid is finally alive. This little girl would rather be beaten to a bloody pulp, and would rather laugh at Zhang Qiaorong for being used without knowing it, rather than betraying herself!

She doesn't even defend herself!

"Miss, I'm ......" Qijin only said these words, and then couldn't cry. She can't sort out her thoughts, if it weren't for her, her eldest brother wouldn't have died, but this person has saved so many people, especially good to herself and her family, she is not a fool, how can she not see it?

was deceived by Zhang Qiaorong at the beginning, but it was just caused by a moment of grief and anger, how could she really not see who was the worst person?

And after all, she made a mistake, and she didn't know how to face the eldest lady.

"Seven catties, don't think about it, it's all over, and now everything is fine." Li Huizhi comforted her.

"Yes, seven pounds, now your father has also got a boat and started running." The mother wept with joy and told her on the side.

"Running boats?" Seven catties asked in surprise. Children who grow up in the boatman's family naturally know what it means to be able to run a boat, and they don't have to worry about eating at home in the future. The father ran the boat, and the old lady took care of the tea shop, so she didn't have to worry about being hungry anymore.

She knew that all this was brought by the eldest lady.

"Miss, I'm ...... I told them that you need to use a clay pot to make tea...... But I didn't know they were going to poison me, I was wrong, you punish me! After thinking about it again and again, Qijin finally said what he had kept in his heart for so long. Her body suddenly became much lighter, and no matter how she was punished, she could stand it.

"You don't have to think about anything, take care of your body, now that the tea house has been awarded tribute tea by the emperor, there is a lot of work waiting for you to do!" Li Huizhi said with a smile. If you talk about punishment, Qijin was almost killed this time, isn't this punishment heavy enough? How could she endure it any longer!

"Tribute tea?!" Seven catties' eyes lit up again. Last time, the eldest lady did say that the Li family's tea may be named tribute tea. I didn't expect it to be so fast!

That is to say, when he was lying here, the Li family was celebrating this great event!

Living in the Li family for so long, the eldest lady has never looked at her as a person once, and has never had a bad relationship with her once, these are not pretending, she is like that to everyone, Qijin's heart has already melted into it, and at this moment she sighs that she has not seen such a lively scene, which is really a pity.

After raising for a few more days, she was finally able to get out of bed, Li Huizhi asked people to take her to Li's house, and from now on, she would have to stay for seven catties.

Looking up at the gilded characters of "the world's first tea" on the gatehouse, which was the emperor's own inscription, seven catties shed tears, unexpectedly, the eldest lady really did it.

With this royal question, there is no problem for the business of the Li Family Tea House to flow to the whole country, and a small Huzhou can't trap her at all!

Li Huizhi personally walked out of the door, came to pick up seven catties, stood under the gatehouse, and looked at the golden characters with her, and was also full of emotion for a while.

There are no bullies in Huzhou, the commercial banks are thriving, Lord Shi is determined to reform the business and politics, and the situation in the south is very good, which of course also gives the Li family unlimited opportunities.

In any era, as long as the imperial court supports the people, it is easier to become bigger and stronger.

As for the road ahead, it is natural to take one step at a time, but in the future, we have to be more accurate. Things in the world have never been so simple, such as the matter of the former Huzhou Taishou hanging, in fact, it is definitely not so simple.

Taishou and Rui Wang Ye were in cahoots, something happened, and Ken who was the Taishou took all the charges alone? Even if he was punished by the Nine Clans after his death, he refused to implicate Prince Rui at all? No one can be so generous. Of course, it is useless to say anything without evidence.

Of course, Li Kuo will find evidence, for the sake of his family's world, but also for his own future world, this is what he must do.

In addition, in the days when Qijin was dealing with Zhang Qiaorong, he heard a familiar name: "Yuan Chao". This name Li Huizhi is very familiar with -- at the end of the Anshi Rebellion, this person once took advantage of the chaos in the south to rebel, and the momentum was very huge, almost sweeping the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the world changed color for it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiaorong's father was able to hook up with this person, and he was able to borrow elite soldiers last time.

This news told Li Kuo that he also had to have a headache, not only to solve it quietly, but also to cover up his identity as the emperor's grandson, everything was not so simple. But no matter how simple it is, that's what he's going to do.

What Lijia Tea House wants to do is to take advantage of the momentum of "tribute tea" and expand its business in one fell swoop. The freedom of tea merchants is only a matter of these years, and in about five or six years, when the imperial court sees that the tea business is profitable, it will change the business to the state, just like the salt industry. The state not only wants taxes from the tea industry, but also all profits.

Everything will be owned by the state, and there will be nothing to do with these businessmen at that time.

This is something that is clearly recorded in the history books, and there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, even if it is now named "tribute tea", even if the emperor is full of praise for "Sankui Yuya", the Li family's business has to look at the long-term, in addition to the tea industry, it has to take care of other businesses, and after a few years, the tea industry is state-run, so as not to fail.

There's a lot more to think about than just business. People are alive and gasping, they have to worry about it, they have to think far - the relationship with the imperial grandson cannot always be so smooth sailing, how can the royal people be willing to accept a woman who is in business as a daughter-in-law? There will be no shortage of obstacles to encounter in the future.

However, think about it, at least that's not something to think about at the moment, let's talk about it that day!

At this moment, what we need to consider is: how to make the good news of this "tribute tea" known to the world!

It's still worth laughing about, being in Datang, for such a period of time, all experiences are extraordinary, and in the future, there will be even more extraordinary things waiting for her.

After experiencing the baptism of blood and tears, she has nothing to fear, let it all come!

The autumn wind is up, and everything will enter a new season......
