On the matter of the military system, Gao Pragmatic has not been able to intervene at present, and it is even difficult for him to persuade Gao Gong to promote, so at present, Gao Pragmatic can only silently pay attention to the current situation of the Xuanda Border Army and keep it in mind, and slowly think about the future reform timing, reform methods and even reform steps.

Since Zhenhebao is dozens of miles away from Datong after all, although Gao Pragmatic cut a lot of corners in today's inspection, it was still evening to rush back to Datong.

Today, only Huang Mengyu, Ma Fang and the prefect of Datong are in Datong City, and Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, and Fang Feng, the governor of Datong, accompanied Cheng Wen to inspect the border defense of Hukou, so Gao Shishi politely refused the banquet of Huang Mengyu, the eunuch of Datong Town, and the prefect of Datong on the grounds of fatigue, and then honestly rested in the Yamen of the Dusi and waited for the meeting with Han Naji tomorrow.

Since Hannaji could not arrive in Datong until about noon on the second day, Gao Shishi slept a rare night the next morning, and did not get up until the end of the day.

At three o'clock, Gao Pragmatic received news that Hannaji had entered the city and was temporarily received by Huang Mengyu and Ma Fang, but the luxurious mansion that was originally planned to house Hannaji had been prepared, and Huang Mengyu sent someone to ask Gao Pragmatic to go first.

Gao Pragmatic told Huang Mengyu and others yesterday that he was going to have dinner with Hannaji today - of course, eating is a trivial matter, mainly a meeting.

Huang Mengyu and the others had already guessed that it would be this arrangement, so they told Gao Pragmatic that even the banquet had been arranged, and of course the location could not be arbitrary, so they would dine in the courtyard of Han Naji. And Huang Mengyu is still as knowledgeable as he was two days ago, saying that except for Gao Pragmatic and the people he brought, no outsiders will disturb him.

Gao Pragmatic had to sigh once again that a smart eunuch was indeed the best choice for waiting for people.

Huang Mengyu and Ma Fang received Han Naji in advance mainly to understand the situation, this is their job, of course Gao Pragmatic will not interfere, but this time difference is just right for Gao Pragmatic to rush to the other courtyard first to see if it is suitable - this is actually a scene, is Gao Pragmatic still temporarily asking for someone to change places?

Since it took some time for Huang Mengyu and Ma Fang to ask questions, Gao Shishi even had time to enjoy it in advance in the courtyard and take a nap.

This sleep lasted until the end of the day, when Gao Pragmatic was woken up by his subordinates and said that Huang Zhenshou was coming.

It didn't take long for Gao Pragmatic to come out of the room, rub his worried eyes, and walk out of the study with Huang Mengyu and walk through the flower hall to the garden.

This courtyard is actually the property of the king, and this time it is very face-saving, and it is even charity for the court to use temporarily. This courtyard enters seven times, the first heavy is the gate house, the gatehouse is the sedan car hall, the hall, the women's hall in turn, and the women's hall is a garden that occupies about five acres of land behind the women's hall. Then there is the upper room of the three entrances, forming two triple courtyards, and then a tall and grand courtyard connected by arcades. Separated by a garden, the first half of the palace is a place for official receptions and banquets, and the second half is a place where family members live. There are two study rooms in the courtyard of the king, one is on the side of the living room, three into five wings, and it is a large study. The other, in the courtyard, connected to his bedroom, is the small study.

However, he said that Gao Pragmatic came out of the big study and came to the garden, but he felt that the sun was dazzling, fortunately, the flowers and trees were sparse and shady, and the season was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there was no heat wave.

Huang Mengyu led him to the right corner of the garden under the gable, outside which was the corridor downstairs in the East Wing, where there was a vine-covered grape trellis. There is a stone table and four stone benches on the brick floor, which is an occasional resting place when visiting the garden. Now leaning on the corner of the wall, a wooden barrel is suspended with a wooden frame, and there is a sand filter device at the bottom of the barrel, at this time there are water droplets seeping out, such as broken thread pearls, and these water droplets flow into a wide bamboo bamboo sheet that is about more than a zhang long and spread with a thick silver and white fine sand, and these crystal water droplets filtered by the sand are then dripping into a white blue and white porcelain pot with a clean and shiny white background.

The purpose of this device is still to be introduced: about March, Yin Zhengmao, who was still in office in Jiangxi but learned that he was going to be promoted to governor of Guangxi, entrusted the officials who had come to Beijing to carry tribute, and brought Gao Gong a jar of Miyun dragon tea. This Miyun Dragon Tea is produced in Jiaokeng, 35 miles west of Kang County, Jiangxi Province - a place of about twenty or thirty acres of land.

Since the Song Yuanfeng period listed this tea as a special drink in the inner court, for hundreds of years, this tea has been a royal tribute, and its reputation has not faded. This tea takes the new buds of the tea tree before and after the Qingming Festival every year as the material, and makes a fine small group of tea cakes, milky white as jade, like an air-dried chrysanthemum. Due to the small production area, the annual output is only 100 catties, and the best Yuyun Dragon is only about five catties - according to the rule, it is necessary to pay tribute to the inner government in full, and it is difficult for foreign ministers to taste it.

However, due to the suitable rain in Jiangxi this year, Qingming Miyun Dragon Tea made two catties more. Yin Zhengmao, who supervised the matter, quietly leaked two cans from it, one can was given to Zhang Juzheng, and the other was given to Gao Gong, who decided to promote him.

However, Gao Gong didn't pay much attention to these things, but Gao Pragmatic was more interested in drinking tea - in fact, it was rare to drink pure and pollution-free good tea in his previous life, and he had the opportunity to enjoy it in this life.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic asked Gao Gong to come over, and after getting the Miyun Dragon Tea, he immediately boiled water and brewed a pot, decanted the tea milk, and tasted the green tea soup.

Later, when I asked about the secretary of the imperial tea room who made tea for the emperor, I learned that the emperor tasted this tea, and the special spring water was transported from Yuquan Mountain, and the water had to be sent to make tea immediately after the beating, and there could be no delay in the middle. Tea water tea, one is tea, the other is water, there is good tea but no good water, the tea soup brewed must not be the right taste.

The water that the high university scholars usually drink is also the Yuquan Mountain spring water they bought, but it definitely does not have such "timeliness", so it is poor.

Knowing this mystery, Gao Pragmatic still sealed the Miyun Dragon Tea in a tin can, thinking that when he had the opportunity to go to Yuquan Mountain, he would taste the mountain spring water directly. But then he thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be so harsh, and he felt that any clear mountain spring should be able to make tea.

This time he came to Datong, remembering that Datong Yungang Grottoes had a dragon head spring water in the later generations, so he brought this tea over to try it.

He remembered that the ancients had a method of removing turbidity from spring water, and only needed to set up a bamboo pipe and filter it with sand, and the spring water would return to sweetness. Gao Pragmatism was originally a layman, but in this life, there was occasionally the need to be vassally elegant, so he talked to Huang Mengyu and planned to do the same when he met with Han Naji.

Now standing next to the bamboo pipe, Gao Shishi bowed down and looked at the spring water dripping into the blue and white porcelain basin, and the misty face that had just woken up was slightly stretched, so he turned his head to Huang Mengyu and said: "There is Lao Huang Zhenshou bothered, I see that the water in this porcelain basin is enough for a pot, you order someone to take it and boil it and then make a pot of Miyun Dragon." Remember, use pine charcoal to boil water. The pine charcoal is warm and slow, and the spring water is boiled thoroughly. ”

Huang Mengyu didn't guard the eunuch shelf at all, and left with a promise, Gao Pragmatic wandered alone in the garden, waiting for the arrival of Hannaji.
