A group of people came out of the silk shop in a mess.

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, then Liu Yan was extremely embarrassed, he glanced at his Shangguan Dai Guan: "Dai Gong, do you want to ......?"

Dai Xuan's face was gloomy, and at this time...... He already sensed that something was wrong.

He was distraught, but he scolded: "What are you going to do? Are you going to bring an errand to raid this shop? Well, now is the time when you are needed, I have 30,000 pieces of silk here, and you have confiscated all the silk here, and brought 16,000 pieces of silk for the old man. ”

Liu Yan shuddered when he heard this.

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling again.

How could Fang Xuanling not understand something? He glanced at Liu Yan coldly, as if he still didn't accept the reality, and then twisted his eyebrows and said, "Try again, go to other shops to have a look." ”

So the group hurried to other shops and walked around, but this time, they were much more cautious, and inquired about the price, all of which were thirty-nine Wen, everything was good, but there was no stock.

Although every silk shop has a piece of silk on the shelf.

Fang Xuanling didn't understand it at this time, it was really a pig.

Dai Xuan's heart had sunk to the bottom, and he saluted Fang Xuanling with a bitter face: "Fang Gong, the lower officials have neglected to supervise." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Dai Xuan deadly, and after half a sound, he said coldly: "Xuanyin misunderstood me." ”

Xuanyin is the word for wearing.

When Dai Xuan heard this, his heart was cold to his bones, and he turned his eyes to look at the damn Liu Yan again, and he just wanted to kill him immediately.

"Try to find out where you can buy silk." Fang Xuanling immediately decided.

After all, he is not a corrupt Confucian, and at this time, it has occurred to him that it is impossible not to trade silk, and since silk cannot be bought in the East Market, there must be a place where silk can be bought.

So everyone showed their magic powers, and finally inquired.

Fang Xuanling personally ran to Chongyi Temple, shuttling through the damp thatched hut, he had realized it at this time...... Your Majesty is afraid that he was not in the East City last night, but came here.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more ashamed he felt.

I sent someone to the silk shop and asked for the price, seventy-three wen.

Hearing the seventy-three texts, Fang Xuanling gasped, and the rest of the people were silent, looking shocked.

The 30,000 pieces in his hand, not to mention 16,000 pieces of silk, are not available for 10,000 pieces of silk.

"Prices have risen so much?" Fang Xuanling questioned Dai Xuan sharply.

Dai Zhou was about to cry, he felt that he was resolute and resolute, and he had taken many measures to stabilize prices, where did he think of it...... It will come to this point.

The number of seventy-three wen was unimaginable, he looked at Fang Xuanling, and for a while, he was speechless, so he muttered: "This ...... This...... The lower officials don't know. ”

"People's livelihood has been harmed so far." Fang Xuanling was so angry that his body trembled: "How can you be worthy of Your Majesty's love." ”

Dai Xuan had mixed tastes, and he was so ashamed that he only wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

"Seventy-three words." Fang Xuanling wanted to cry without tears, and repeatedly chanted in his mouth: "Seventy-three texts, seventy-three texts, Xuanyin, do you know what seventy-three texts mean?" Silk has never risen to such appalling levels since the time of eternal times. The old man finally understood why His Majesty asked me to wait to buy silk, and the old man understood......"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who followed them, was already impatient, anyway, he was a secretary of the ministry, and this matter had nothing to do with him, so he said: "Then this silk, do you want to buy it or not?" ”

Fang Xuanling is very angry today, and he is very tolerant of this uncle on weekdays, but today for some reason, he said to him: "I bought it, isn't it the eldest grandson Xianggong who came to pay for the difference?" ”

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

After all, this is not a difference of tens or hundreds of guan, this is more than 10,000 guan, who can afford it, everyone is here to be officials, not to do good deeds.

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, let's come to this Chongyi Temple to see it in person, don't you feel ashamed when you stand here?" The old man is ashamed now, I have been living in the temple for a long time, how have I ever experienced how difficult the people's livelihood is, let's go, don't say it, it's not early, go to Erpigou immediately. ”

After that, Fang Xuanling had a gloomy face and hurried away with people.

When I returned to Erpigou, it was getting late.

At this time, it was midnight, and there were no nebulae in the sky, only the occasional lights of a hundred houses were faintly dim.

When they arrived at the mansion where His Majesty was staying, everyone stood outside.

A eunuch is here, and it seems that he has been waiting for Fang Xuanling and the others.

Fang Xuanling said to him, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty has slept."

Fang Xuanling bowed his head, he understood, so he obediently stood outside with his hands tied.

When others saw Fang Xuanling like this, they had no choice but to follow suit.

They were all old, tired from the day, and at night, they were too tired to move, but they did not dare to disturb Your Majesty, and they knew that they could not leave just now, so they had to stand here obediently and wait.

This is the night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still hazy and gray, and the frost fell, making Fang Xuanling and the others look ridiculous, originally a long black beard, which was whitened by the frost.

After standing all night, everyone felt that their muscles and bones were numb, and some people felt that their bodies were shaky and dizzy, but they could only continue to wait honestly.

Finally...... Li Shimin's line lit up a lamp, as if the world that had been quiet for a night was suddenly revived.

Everyone watched the gate go out, and finally a eunuch came out of it and said, "Your Majesty, please come in and speak." ”

When everyone heard this, their tired faces suddenly cheered up, and Fang Xuanling and the others did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly entered Li Shimin's line.

Over here...... Li Shimin had a good night's sleep last night, and he found that although Chen Zhengtai was simple here, it was quite comfortable.

When washing, someone brought him a 'toothbrush', this toothbrush is wooden, the head is inlaid with a lot of hair, is pig sideburns, in addition, someone sent a small box, the box opened, is a medicinal powder, this medicinal powder is made of honeysuckle and bitter ginseng and Poria cocos, stained with some, mixed with water, Li Shimin clumsily brushed his teeth, after a drumming, he actually felt that his mouth was very refreshing.

It's a little unaccustomed, but it's ...... It's interesting.

The real toothbrush did not begin to appear until the early years of the Song Dynasty, and at this time, even the emperor had to use willow branches, but willow branches were used after all, and it was inconvenient.

After Li Shimin brushed his teeth, someone began to serve tea.

This tea is also strange, it is not boiled, and there are no green onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peels, dogwoods, mint and the like, just a little tea, I don't know if it is dried or made by other methods, the tea leaves are put inside, and then scalded with boiling water, and then sent to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at this strange tea, and couldn't help but be a little cautious, urging the people around him to ask if Chen Zhengtai had risen.

The eunuch said that Chen Juncheng was taking the prince to do morning exercises.

Li Shimin smiled: "Zhengtai is young, and his work and rest are still excellent, and it is not a bad thing for young people to get up in the morning to practice." ”

The eunuch seemed to be speechless and stopped.

Li Shimin glared at him: "What do you want to say?" ”

The eunuch said: "The slave heard from the farmers here that the Chenjun Fair Day only got up after three poles on the sun, but today is rare, get up early, and exercise in the morning." ”

Li Shimin suddenly felt that his face was hot and painful, and after thinking about it, he felt that this eunuch was troublesome, so he pulled his face and said, "Go and call Chen Zhengtai." ”

Li Shimin is so slow and unslow.

It was a pity that although Fang Xuanling and the others were there, they had to continue to stand and wait under the eaves outside the bedroom.

Not long after, Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian came in, presumably because they had done morning exercises, so they were in good spirits, and there was still hot sweat on their heads, and the two of them saluted.

Li Shimin didn't point out Chen Zhengtai's morning exercises, but said: "Zhengtai, you come, this tea...... Can you drink it? ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "This is the tea made by the students in Erpigou, this tea is indeed different, and it is made in a special way, so it ...... So...... Just use hot water to take it, this tea can be drunk, and students drink this kind of tea here on weekdays. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai lowered his voice: "The students still plan to put this tea on the market, but they have to let people find good tea mountains first, and if they have good tea, buy it in advance, and then make a batch and then go on the market." ”

Li Shimin was happy.

Erpigou's business, there is a copy in the palace, it turns out that this thing can also make money?

Li Shimin didn't mind tasting things that could make money, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

The taste of the people in the Tang Dynasty is very heavy, especially tea, there are two ways to drink tea, one is boiling, the other is frying, and it is not just put tea, but what ingredients are put, to some extent, this tea is more like drinking soup, what oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all depend on the taste of each person.

Li Shimin frowned lightly and said, "How do you eat like drinking white water." ”

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a fragrance of tea between his mouths, and the tea he had just drunk was still bland, but it seemed to have a different taste.

Although the taste of people ...... It's hard to change for a while.

But good tea, after all, can still conquer people's hearts.

Li Shimin looked at the tea cup in front of him and said, "You wait, I'll try again." ”

So I took another sip of tea, this time ...... began to feel that the taste came out, he tasted it carefully, suddenly his eyes opened, and said: "It's interesting, it's interesting, this tea needs to be tasted, the more you taste it, the more you feel that it tastes, it seems that the way I drink tea is wrong." ”

Chen Zhengtai seemed to have expected this, and said happily: "In a few days, the students plan to sell it in the name of tribute tea, of course...... This was also the idea of the prince's junior brother. ”

Li Chengqian: "......"

Chen Zhengtai said again: "Now that the teacher likes it, then this tribute tea can be regarded as a solid seat, and in a few days, the students will send some such tea into the palace to honor the teacher." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, good, it's hard for you to have filial piety." Oh, are they back? ”
