Among them, the tea and wine were all obtained from Lin Qingliang, because the current number of tea trees planted is too small, and has not yet formed a scale advantage, only 100 catties.

Moreover, there are not many craft wines, most of them are Lin Qingliang's previous inventory, and it is difficult to raise a large amount in a hurry, so they can only prepare these.

The envoy went to Yunnan this time to present the reward, and brought a total of 40 carts, and when he went back, it was terrible, Li Yi mobilized more than 20 carts, and he had just put down the tribute items.

It's just that the 200,000 yuan rewarded by the imperial court this time was almost all consumed.

Speaking of which, the emperor didn't lose anything at all, not only got his capital back, but also almost squeezed Yunnan dry with interest. Alas! What's the solution, who told us to beg for people!

Other things like formal recitals were handed over to Shao Tingjuan, and letters to Jian Wenhui, Liang Song and other friends, as well as to King Yue and Princess Qingyuan, were handed over to Li Pian to carry personally.

This time, since Li Pian has the opportunity to come to Yunnan, he can't let him go back empty-handed, even if it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, honoring his parents is what his children must do.

Li Yi asked Lin Yi to buy a few catties of fine tea, some precious medicinal materials such as gastrodia, cordyceps, and other precious medicinal materials, as well as Yunnan's unique local brocade and other things, all of which were handed over to Li Pian to take back.

In addition, as if in order to please his in-laws, he privately asked people to carve a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with the same height as the exquisite and expressive of Nanmu, and quietly asked Li Pian to take it back to show his filial piety.

In the ten-mile long pavilion by the Shengjing Bridge on the Nanpan River, Shao Tingjuan looked at the dozens of carts full of them, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

A little worried, he said to Li Yi: "Runzhi! Isn't that a bit too much? Yunnan is still poor and white, how can you have the money to get so many things. ”

"If someone with a heart is charged with the crime of looting people's fat and ointment, it will not be easy to do. Alas! How can I say hello! ”

Li Yi smiled faintly and said, "Hehe! Lord Shao, don't worry about me, as the saying goes, 'I can't help the wolf if I can't bear the child', don't I have something to ask for from the court? ”

"Besides, if the imperial court finally gives up the hot land of Yunnan, the people here will be like rootless Ping, and life may be even more difficult."

"In any case, being able to cling to the wings of the Han is also the ardent expectation of the people of Yunnan."

"I'll tell you the truth, although these things cost a lot of money, they were purchased by the Yunnan government, and I didn't add a little burden to the people!"

Shao Tingjuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know your personality, no matter how difficult it is, you will not beat the people's ideas." But after all, Yunnan is not rich, and it should cost a lot to raise these things. ”

"What's more, I am also familiar with the following situation, the so-called goose plucking, those deacons and others will not lose themselves, take the opportunity to prepare tribute, I don't know what tricks will come up, you have to have points in your own heart!"

Li Yi was about to say something, when Le Fan walked over from the side and said with a smile: "Li Dashuai, you are so polite!" ”

"I just learned that while preparing the tribute to the imperial court, you also prepared so many gifts for the Shao Palace envoy and me."

"Alas! Needless to say, Master Shao is highly respected, I am a small palace eunuch, how dare I be a prisoner! ”

"We are here to issue a reward on behalf of the imperial court, how can we take anything from Yunnan again? You see, how can we... Hehe! ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Deputy Envoy Le, it's too polite for you to say this." We have received the grace of the court, how can we not show anything? ”

"Yunnan is far away from the capital, it's not easy for the adults to come here, and we don't have many things to prepare, Li Yi is very ashamed in his heart, this is a small gift, don't be too little!"

"To be honest, there are not many things, just to talk about the hearts of the people of Yunnan, you have to accept it no matter what, otherwise I, Li Yi, will not treat you as a friend." Ha ha! Ha ha!

Le Fan laughed tacitly: "With a friend like Li Dashuai, I don't know that it was the high incense that has been burned for several lifetimes, and I don't know how many wooden fish have been knocked through to repair it." If Le is no longer interesting, he is really not enough friends. Ha ha! Ha ha! ”

Li Yi laughed with them, and at the same time brought a glass of fragrant wine to each of them, handed it to their hands, and then said emotionally: "The two envoys came from thousands of miles and traveled hard to present the reward, and they worked tirelessly to inspect all parts of Yunnan, and sent the care and grace of the imperial court to the people of Yunnan, Li Yi was grateful, but he didn't know how to express it. ”

"And just as the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I have some feelings about things, and I myself have some small feelings, so I don't think about it shallowly, so let Xia Guan compose a lyric for the two adults, even if it is a strong line!"

Shao Tingjuan smiled leisurely and said, "Oh! Wow! I didn't expect time to fly so fast, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but you can't go back to Beijing for a family reunion, and it's always a pity. Alas! Let's go out to be officials, this is also inevitable!. ”

"However, since I said goodbye to the capital, I haven't seen Runzhi compose poems for a long time, and today I am fortunate to listen to the sound of the Han champion, what a celebrity!"

Le Fan was also busy interjecting: "That's, that's, Xiaguan has long heard of the reputation of the four great talents in Lingnan, and has not been able to hear Yayan, today I can have the honor to appreciate the demeanor of the champion Lang, it is also a rare thing, just ask the world, how many people can have this kind of blessing!" Hehe! ”

Li Yi stopped talking, and after reviewing the words prepared yesterday in his heart, he calmly chanted:

"Hushan letter is the southeast and southeast, and it is thousands of miles away.

How many times can you get back? He made the exalted drunk and wandered.

At the beginning of the day in the Nanpan River, who sings the water tune.

When the morning mist is quiet and about to return, there is only a long autumn water. ”

Shao Tingjuan and Le Fan themselves are both talented, and Li Yi's remodeled Su Shi's 'Poppy Beauty' has just finished singing, which immediately attracted their amazement.

Even Qian Shitang, Lin Yi and other people who had seen Li Yi's literary talents next to him were instantly conquered by this poem.

Shao Tingjuan nodded again and again, and said: "Runzhi is worthy of being one of our four great talents in Lingnan, as far as I know, this genre seems to be the latest popular tune in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not only far-reaching artistic conception, but also gentle and gentle, slowly speaking, fascinating, it is really wonderful!" ”

Le Fan was also a little delirious, and said in a daze: "Alas! This song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world. Li Dashuai is really talented, and he is rich and rich. As soon as this kind of tune became popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Dashuai sang a swan song for the ages. Wouldn't you be ashamed of those Wu Yue talents! ”
