With that said, it's time for dinner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe private room here is spacious enough, and there are so many people in the room that there are five or six tables that can sit down.

Eating in the same room with merchants, Lord Shi didn't mind, and the county commanders with official ranks lower than him naturally didn't dare to say anything, but the respected Lord Rui and Lord Taishou were not.

Under the pretext that the Oiran Contest outside had become more and more exciting, they went out to watch the competition together and went to find another place to eat.

Liu Nianqing is not busy going out to watch the Oiran competition, she only cares about who is the final winner, since she is accompanied by Li Huizhi, it is not boring.

The food in the Green Smoke Pavilion was naturally impeccable, although there were officials present, and the food was a little restrained, but it was almost the same.

During the banquet, Lord Shi said self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for the generosity of a son, this Green Smoke Pavilion household would never be able to bear it!" There is such a venue in the realm of Huzhou, even the official seems to be unavoidable! Haha......"

It turned out to be a sponsored Green Smoke Pavilion!

Who is so generous?

After eating a meal, everyone was in a good mood.

After the meal, someone waits for tea to relieve the greasy.

Someone tasted the tea and said: "Speaking of good tea, I heard that there is a tea in the Li Family Tea House, called 'Sankui Yuya', which is inscribed by Lu Yugong of Jingling himself. Its taste is clear and delicious, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and it is rare for Lord Shi to come to Huzhou, I don't know if I have tasted it? ”

"Oh? Got this kind of tea? The old man is so lonely! Master Shi tasted the tea in the cup and said enviously.

Lu Yu's name has become more and more famous, not so much that Lord Shi envies good tea, but that he envies the profound tea ceremony of Lu Yu's generation of tea saints.

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

It couldn't be better!

Li Huizhi originally brought some tea with her, but she didn't expect so many important princes to be present, so she didn't dare to hold it up for a while, so she boldly brought it up herself. Now that someone has mentioned it, why don't you just get off the donkey?

She stood up and said generously: "Since everyone has Yaxing, the little woman just asked someone to bring some 'three sunflower rain buds', and if she doesn't give up, she should cook it for you to taste." ”

The crowd immediately shouted yes.

Before Xiaoyu could react, Qijin had already turned around and went back to get tea. On such an important occasion, she didn't have a new girl who reacted quickly, and Xiaoyu was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Li Huizhi looked at Xiao Yu and shook her head with a smile. It's childish!

"Sankui rain buds" to be cooked in a special clay pot, the tea can release the greatest fragrance, which also has the transformation between the civil and military fire, when to uncover, when to cook, all pay attention to.

This job has to be done well by Xiaoyu.

Let the Green Smoke Pavilion find a clay pot, and Xiao Yu easily lit the stove.

Not to mention that tasting good tea is a science, even watching boiled tea is actually a kind of enjoyment.

The bright girl, the gradual fragrance of tea, the skillful tea-making skills, the dance-like movements, and the sound of competition music from time to time outside are all the best enjoyment after dinner.

Sure enough, it's good tea!

Just smell its fragrance, and you are already drunk. A product in the throat, there is really an indescribable clear, inexhaustible fragrance, the whole person seems to be in the green ten thousand acres of tea land, breathing the essence of heaven and earth. No wonder Lu Yugong personally named this tea!

Lord Shi drank and praised again and again.

While tasting tea, the Tobe lord was thinking about the business of the tea shop as if he was suffering from an occupational illness. He naturally knew that the war in the north had dealt a big blow to the tea shops that had relied on trading in the Western Regions.

Such a good tea in front of you can only be tasted under such circumstances, and it cannot bring its due economic value. Isn't this a loss for the country?

But the war in the north is not something that can be said by a few households, so what else can be done except sigh?

Li Huizhi saw Lord Shi's worries, maybe Lord Shi wanted to say that when the rebellion in the north was put down, the road to the Western Regions would be smooth, and the situation might improve at that time, but she knew that it was impossible.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the tribes in the northwest became a pot of porridge, and within a few decades, there were constant wars, and the road to the Western Regions was a dead end.

It was inconvenient for her to say these later words, but she just said some of her own thoughts: "In fact, even if we can't go to the Western Regions, can't we think of other ways in our big country?" Isn't it a new trade route for the ready-made canal and tea from the south to go north along the canal to the whole country? ”

In modern parlance, this is called boosting domestic demand.

These words caused Lord Shi to ponder, this is really a good way! How many people are there in Datang? How much does tea drink? How much business will this tea shop bring in once it is circulated?

If you have a business, you will be taxed, and you will be able to make money for the treasury!

In the past, when the Western Regions were passed, they could only set up heavy customs to prevent tax collection, which was inconvenient. Now if the business of the tea shop circulates in the country, it is more convenient to collect taxes!

"Since you have such a good way of doing business, why don't you do it sooner? What's the difficulty? Master Shi asked curiously, and suddenly, a colic pain hit his abdomen, and it became more and more painful, so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat.

What's going on?

Li Huizhi saw that Lord Shi's face had changed, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Shi is uncomfortable?" ”

"It doesn't matter...... You first...... Reply...... My question! Master Shi endured the severe pain and said. The big question of national taxation was in front of him, and he attached great importance to it, and he ignored the affairs of his own body.

Li Huizhi had no choice but to nod and answer eagerly: "Because the canal is impassable in many places, either the floods are uneven, or many places are overstated, and merchant ships in various places cannot move smoothly, which will naturally affect trade......

Before he finished speaking, there was a "plop", and Master Shi couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground.

"Master Shi...... Master Shi ...... "Li Huizhi hurriedly called him. The others scrambled to help him up.

But before he could help Master Shi, someone fell down again.

Li Huizhi herself gradually felt unbearable stomach pain, accompanied by a burst of nausea, her head was also dizzy, and cold sweat was pouring out.

The unfocused line of sight can be seen that in the entire private room, all the people who have drunk tea can no longer support it, and dozens of people are staggering and shouting.

Suddenly, a large number of guards with weapons in their hands poured in from outside, and the only remaining consciousness estimated that it was about the voice of Lord Taishou: "The tea is poisonous!" Don't let anyone go! Take them all! ”

Li Huizhi's mind was dizzy, she couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the ground.

The moment she fell, her brain was stirred: Could it be that Datang's sightseeing mission has been honorably completed? Going back to modern times? But I don't have time to take anything valuable away......

Qijin and Xiaoyu are subordinates, and they are not qualified to eat at the table, but they are lucky to be spared. Seeing the scene in the entire hall, I was so frightened that I was already confused, and then I saw Li Huizhi also fall to the ground, and immediately wanted to help her up.

As soon as he squatted down, the guards who had already had cold faces rushed over with swords and swords, controlling all the merchants, so frightened that Xiaoyu only knew how to shed tears, trembling and not knowing what to do. (To be continued.) )
