Chapter 278: Something Good Above

The atmosphere of the Xuanzheng Hall had a few breaths of coldness.

This Wei Zheng is really a head iron.

Li Shimin's face was pale, and he held his breath in his chest, wanting to go crazy.

Endure!

Endure!

"Ahem! Your Majesty, Duke Wei, this tea tasting is actually a matter related to the common people, and it is a bit too much to say that it is a waste of time. ”

Fang Xuanling saw that the scene seemed to be walking in the opposite direction as expected, and immediately stood up to ease the atmosphere.

"Fang Xiang, you are Your Majesty's left arm and right arm, how can you be so unstrategic? What is the difference between boiling wine, tasting tea and eating, drinking, and having fun? ”

Wei Zheng's qualifications are no worse than Fang Xuanling's, and the official positions of the two at this time are also of the same level, and they are both expensive as the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally they don't need to give Fang Xuanling face.

"Your Majesty asked me to wait to taste the tea, it must be that there is something special about this tea."

Fang Xuanling quickly filtered the recent news in his mind, Li Kuan bought a large number of tea gardens at a high price, and many nobles in Chang'an City have heard about this, and today His Majesty suddenly summoned everyone to taste tea, and nine times out of ten it is related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

And His Royal Highness the King of Chu always has a far-reaching purpose in doing things, and this tea is estimated to be the same.

"It's still Xuan Ling who can see clearly, everyone Aiqing, and see how this new tea is, and then express your opinion."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu planted a lot of tea trees on the barren mountain on the edge of Weishui, could it be that these tea leaves were honored by His Royal Highness the King of Chu to His Majesty?"

Wen Yanbo also said something on the side.

Just as you said a word, several palace maids came to the hall with trays.

"Huh?"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had been speechless, first discovered the tea served by the palace maid, which was different from what he imagined.

I saw that in the crystal clear glass, a green leaf was constantly floating in it, and the pale yellow tea exuded a fragrance.

"Everyone, Aiqing, see how this tea is different?"

After Li Shimin accompanied the princess of Chu to taste this Longjing fragrant tea yesterday, he immediately called Li Kuan to the front and asked him about it.

Originally, he was just curious about how this new tea was made, and why he had to explain that this tea was brewed with hot water.

As a result, I didn't expect him to tell himself about the significance of tea to Datang for a long time.

Salt and iron tea, Li Shimin heard for the first time that someone put tea in the same position as salt and iron.

If other people said this, nine times out of ten, he would have heard it in his left ear and his right ear, but this word came out of Li Kuan's mouth......

I listened carefully to Li Kuan's talk about the importance of tea for the Tang Dynasty for half an hour, so I had the move of convening the ministers to taste tea this morning.

Although he knew that Li Kuan was suspected of using himself to promote Longjing fragrant tea, Li Shimin was rare and did not resist at all.

Fang Xuanling first picked up a cup of tea, put it under the tip of his nose and asked, then took a sip gently, his eyes immediately lit up, he couldn't help but take another sip, gently closed his eyes, and swallowed the tea again.

"At first, it was shallow bitterness, and then a trace of sweetness overflowed from the throat, which made people's lips and teeth fragrant, and it was very comfortable."

A very subtle feeling swept away from the bottom of Fang Xuanling's heart, and the whole person only felt comfortable and happy, and his heart was pure and clear.

"This tea is really peculiar, after drinking, there is actually a feeling of impetuousness and ostentatiousness being taken away little by little, but the tranquility and comfort are flowing out one by one."

Wen Yanbo had just been promoted to Shangshu's right servant this year, and he felt a lot more pressure on his shoulders, but after tasting some new tea, he actually felt that the whole person had become more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, this tea seems to be light, neither ginger and shallots, nor salt or red dates, but it has a different feeling. Weichen also used cake tea to brew directly in water before, but it was far from the aftertaste of this tea. ”

Dai Guan's reaction was similar to that of Fang Xuanling and Wen Yanbo, and he felt very surprised.

No wonder His Majesty wants to specially convene all the ministers to taste tea, it is really extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, this tea ...... Could it be that there is a story that cannot be achieved? ”

"Since the introduction of the Quyuan plow, grain production has increased year by year, but grain prices have a downward trend. This is a good thing, but for the farmer, there is still a shortage of money. The king of Chu suggested to me that the cultivation of tea should be expanded, and this tea should be sold to the Western Turks, to Xue Yantuo, and to the whole day, so that the people could have one more way to earn a living. ”

Li Shimin did not take out all the content of his exchange with Li Kuan yesterday, but briefly explained his intention to vigorously promote tea planting.

"These tea plantations are often on hillsides or dry land, and basically do not occupy fertile land, and if farmers plant them extensively, they may really become a new livelihood like silk."

Fang Xuanling had a good vision, and soon realized that the promotion of tea planting seemed to have a lot to offer.

As for the tea that everyone drank just now, regardless of whether the ordinary people like it or not, the princes and nobles, officials and scholars of various states and counties will definitely be respected.

And these people are basically the vane of social customs and hobbies, plus Your Majesty and the ministers present all appreciate this new tea, which shows that the prospects of this new tea are absolutely extraordinary.

I just don't know how this unique new tea is made.

"I still have some new tea here, and everyone Aiqing has worked hard recently, and each person will enjoy two taels of new tea in a while."

Two two?

Although Wei Zheng didn't speak for a while, when he heard that Li Shimin was so stingy and only rewarded two taels of tea, he also complained in his heart.

Although I have realized that my own advice just now seems to be a bit ......

However, if there is, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged.

Wei Zheng naturally would not admit his mistake.

"Your Majesty, could this new tea come from the palace of the King of Chu?"

The eldest grandson Wuji asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

To be honest, the eldest grandson Wuji has not been comfortable at all in the past few years, since his own coal mine and limestone mine were sold to Li Kuan at a low price, he seems to be unable to suppress Li Kuan anymore.

At the beginning, his sister and the maidservant girl had a child on the same day, and he happened to be in the palace of King Qin, but Li Shimin happened to be outside with the troops.

Who gave birth to the firstborn?

This is no small feat.

Although one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, the status of the eldest son is very unique after all.

So when the eldest grandson Wuji learned that the two were going to have a child at the same time, he immediately suppressed these news.

Obviously, the maidservant's child Li Kuan was born a quarter of an hour earlier than his sister, but in the end, everyone learned that Li Chengqian was born an hour earlier and became the eldest son of the Qin Palace!

The only person who knows this accurately is the eldest grandson Wuji.

The other few people who were suspicious were also long gone.

This is the eldest grandson Wuji secretly promoted Li Kuan when he was very young, passed him on to the deceased Li Zhiyun, and was always in Chang'an City, fueling the propaganda of Li Kuan's various retrograde actions.

To put it mildly, the first of the four evils in Chang'an City, this title has half of the credit of the eldest grandson Wuji.
