The two were taken to a private room facing the street.

When you open the window, you can see the lively streets, the lanterns hanging high, and the flow of people.

From a distance, you can still see the ring where Cao Yan competed with others last time.

The line of sight is very open.

The compartment is elegant.

A small square table.

A few futons are placed in the corners.

There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

It's very simple, with a sense of tranquility and remoteness.

As a whole, just look at the traditional wooden houses of later generations of Japan, which learned from the culture of this time.

Su Sanjie is a woman of twenty-five or sixteen, and this age belongs to older women in this era.

She is also thoughtful, and from her clothes and dress, people can feel the mature charm she exudes all over her body.

Wearing a set of relatively slim and narrow-sleeved light green dresses, women from large families at this time generally like to wear some wide clothes, and women like this who need to work often like to wear some tight-fitting narrow-sleeved clothes, which supports her figure well, and has a plump beauty.

At a glance, the whole person gives a sense of ability.

She carried a small wooden basket and a small silver bucket.

The bucket was made of silver, and it was used as a vessel for holding water.

As soon as she came in, she smiled slightly at the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting, not very enthusiastic or cold, just a kind of neutral opening line commonly used in this era, which would not give people a feeling of abruptness and coldness.

Then he slowly put the things in his hand aside.

It makes people feel a sense of relief when they come home.

After that, he took out a small wooden box from a small wooden cabinet that he had brought with him.

The movements are gentle and fluid.

There is also a very strong sense of ritual.

After everything was done, she smiled lightly: "What kind of tea does the guest want to order?" ”

Luo Ming glanced at Cao Yan and saw that he was staring at the small wooden boxes, and did not speak: "Let's do it all over again." ”

The smile on the corner of Su Sanjie's mouth rose when she heard it, her own eyes were really good, and she introduced the two rich people to her at once.

It's a pity that now that I'm a little older, and my eighth sister has grown up, and I'm getting more and more smart, and now many guests like to ask her for tea.

Let the business of his other sisters be a bit bleak.

Thinking of a few years ago, whoever came to Su's house to order tea didn't always ask themselves to order it for them to drink.

Well, that's a bit far ahead.

"Since all the guests want to taste it once, then let's start with this Longjing tea."

"You just have to look at it." Luo Ming said casually, he just took Cao Yan out to see, and it didn't matter what kind of tea it was.

I saw that Su Sanjie chose a small tea box from the small wooden cabinet.

Open it.

It contains some turquoise tea leaves.

"These are small shops, top-quality teas purchased from Hangzhou with great effort, and the guest officials should try them well." Su Sanjie said as she scooped out a spoonful with a small spoon.

Luo Ming and Cao Yan looked at each other and smiled, but did not break her cowhide.

West Lake Longjing is divided into 18 grades according to the priority of appearance and endoplasm.

This top-notch tea is the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain, this is considered imperial tea, how can such a small shop have it?

And Luo Ming still gave half of it to Cao Yan because Xiang Yixin got it from his aunt, that is, His Majesty today, so he drank it with Cao Yan, or he didn't even taste it.

And the special tea, which is generally booked by some powerful people before it is picked, after all, everyone in this era is just these simple hobbies.

And a lot of first-class tea is wrapped by local officials and squires.

The second-level and third-grade teas were ordered by some large wealthy merchants.

After that, unless the front was obtained from the former, it was probably only a few levels of tea in the back.

And Luo Ming could see at a glance that her tea would definitely not exceed two or three grades, that is, it was purchased from a large wealthy businessman. This Third Sister Su obviously treats the two of them as dirt buns.

……

Su Sanjie poured the tea she had just taken out into the tea mill and began to crush it.

This tea began to need to be ground with tea and crushed into small shapes.

It is then ground into a powder state with a tea mill.

Brew at the end.

I saw that Third Sister Su was grinding tea.

Luo Ming withdrew his gaze from Third Sister Su: "Master, let's continue the previous topic?" ”

"Well, you go on."

"By the way, how much does Master know about the departments of the imperial court?" Luo Ming felt that it was a little unclear to say that the five elders of the Xiang family alone, so he asked.

And as soon as Su Sanjie heard this, she secretly said in her heart, sure enough, she didn't see the wrong person, these two people should be the rich people who came out of the countryside, it is estimated that it was because of this imperial examination that they came to the capital to participate in the examination, and the handsome guest didn't even know the most basic, and he had such a good skin.

"It's okay anyway, you just don't know anything about it, just talk about it."

"Tell me all?" Luo Ming's face was a little dark, which was a bit too much, but he glanced at Cao Yan and still chose to compromise: "Okay! ”

"Then let's start with the three provinces and six ministries system of the previous dynasty, do you understand this?"

Cao Yan nodded, he still knew this.

"Master, you know this, so it's much easier to say!" Luo Ming said with a happy face.

Then he said to Cao Yan in a bala manner, and sometimes, Third Sister Su also interjected a few words on the side.

In this way, Cao Yan finally understood the general layout of this court.

First of all, Dachu did not have three provinces, but became three divisions, which were divided into the financial division, the military division, and the political division.

But the six parts exist.

But the responsibilities have changed a little, first of all, the household department, it became a department in the Great Chu Dynasty that only collects taxes, but does not have the right to use money, how to spend money, has become the responsibility of the financial department.

Then came the military department, which became only responsible for training, recruitment, logistics, etc.

And the power to transfer troops and arrange generals is at the head of the military division.

The Ministry of Officials is only responsible for examinations, supervision, recommendations and other affairs.

The Chief Secretary is responsible for the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials.

Others, such as the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment, have not changed much.

That is, the three departments that were originally bullish were divided into six departments.

And the official title of the boss of these 9 departments has also been changed from Shangshu to cardinal.

These nine people also form a special body, called the Council Chamber, which coordinates the direct cooperation of the ministries.

However, there is also one of the most powerful departments in Dachu, which is the clan's council office, which has supervision and directs the rights of all departments, including the removal of the empress.

The most powerful among them are the old men of the five Xiang families.

Among them is the current empress's father, the current patriarch, Xiang Changqing.

And the other four are the elders of the four heirs to the throne.

For example, Xiang Yixin's grandfather, Xiang Zhiyuan.

The grandfather of Xiang Hanyu, the lord of the Daimyo Prefecture, Xiang Yongfeng.

And for the sake of fairness, after each empress, then in the second term, the descendants of the original empress are not allowed to be re-elected, and can only be selected from the other four.

After saying so much, Luo Ming's mouth was also dry, and it just so happened that Su Sanjie's tea was also ready, Luo Ming's was a small flower, and Cao Yan's was a leaf.

The two took a sip.

I feel that the taste is average, and I came to quench my thirst and chat.

Actually, it's a bit like an internet celebrity.

It's just a novelty.
