Xiao Yu, born in the Jiangnan Xiao family, is the seventh son of Emperor Xiao Cong of Liang Ming of the Southern Dynasty, the half-brother of Emperor Xiao Cong of Liang Jing, and the younger brother of the former Empress Xiao of Sui.

is an upright official, an honest person, although he was born in a family, but the mansion is indeed not luxurious.

"I've seen Xiao Xiang, and the younger generation has never come to visit, and I ask Xiao Xiang to forgive my sins!" Feng Daiwen said to Xiao Yu with a junior salute.

"Haha, you don't have to be polite to defend the country, you and I are good friends, why do you need these vulgar etiquette, and the old man thank you Feng family, the Feng family let Jiangnan learn to plant two crops of rice, and our Xiao family should thank you both in public and private." Xiao Yu helped Feng Daiwen up and said with a smile, in the past two years, there has been a lot of cooperation between Lingnan and Jiangnan Xiao family, which has made the Xiao family's position in Jiangnan much more stable.

"Xiao Xiang is an honest person, an honest official, and an example for younger generations to learn, and he should cooperate with the Xiao family in both public and private affairs, which is also the honor of my Feng family." Feng Daiwen said sincerely.

"Haha, the defense of the country has won the award, this time it was not easy for the old man to come forward, but the Jiangnan family and Shuzhong both begged in front of the old man, and the old man had to be cheeky to ask the virtuous nephew to come over to the house." Xiao Yu was so happy that she said freely, obviously what Feng Daiwen said was tickling.

"Elder Xiao, be polite, even if you have something to order, Dai Wen will definitely do what he can do." Feng Daiwen punned, meaning that I can't do it, don't say it.

"Haha, of course I won't embarrass my nephew, I just want to ask my nephew what the specific regulations are for this trade in the Western Regions." Xiao Yuren Lao Chengjing didn't understand, and said to Feng Daiwen with a smile.

"That's fine, then the little nephew will say it directly." Feng Daiwen hit the snake with the stick.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to invite.

"This trade, the little nephew suggested that a powerful merchant be selected to be the head, something to discuss, the goods are divided into grades, the bad ones should not be taken, the goods are sold uniformly, and I can't lose face in the Tang Dynasty abroad, as for the rest, I will be responsible for the grain, grass and military expenses of the Tang Army, and these discussions will be handed over to the Liang Guogong Office," Feng Daiwen explained carefully.

"Well, what the virtuous nephew said is very true, and the old man will explain it." Xiao Yu touched his beard and nodded.

"The little nephew wants to communicate with the merchants of the Western Regions in the afternoon, and Elder Xiao can let those who are interested come to take a look, and it is also convenient to communicate with the Western Regions." Feng Daiwen suggested.

"It's so good, it just so happens that the Huang family in Shuzhong and the Zhang family in Jiangnan are here, and the old man will inform them to go to the mansion of the virtuous nephew in the afternoon." Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.

"So the little nephew will say goodbye, and I will come to visit Xiao Lao again when I have time." Feng Daiwen got up to say goodbye.

"It's better to accompany the old man to drink tea in the house, and it's not too late to leave after lunch." Xiao Yu got up and stayed.

"No, the little nephew still has to enter the palace to report to the saint." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Then the good old man won't keep you!" When Xiao Yu heard that he was going to enter the palace, he didn't force him to stay, and said that he would send Feng Daiwen and Ma Zhou out of the palace.

Feng Daiwen asked Ma Zhoudao: "Does King Bin know that there are tea trees near Chang'an?" ”

"Tea tree? There are many near Chang'an, and there are also in the city, and it is said that there are many palaces. Ma Zhou looked at Feng Daiwen suspiciously.

"Haha, that's the case, I just planned to go to the palace, just to take a look, King Bin please go back to the house to entertain the guests, I may come back soon." Feng Daiwen said with a smile, and rushed to the palace after speaking.

Tea flourished in the Han Dynasty, especially loved by Taoists and literati, especially foreign people are even more loved, there are few vegetables in the Western Regions and grasslands, if you don't eat vegetables all year round, people will be sick, tea can decompose intestinal greasy very well, although the ancients did not understand the truth, but after drinking tea, the whole person will be a lot easier, so the grassland tea is very popular, especially the more west the Western Regions, the more expensive the tea, in Persia has been able to exchange the same weight of silver, to Daqin that is, Rome, silk and tea can be exchanged for the same weight of gold,

But Feng Daiwen is not accustomed to drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea in the early Tang Dynasty has formed a kind of elegant thing, the more learned, the more attention is paid to the water used, must be the best spring water and well water, charcoal must be the best charcoal that can be obtained, with fragrance and less smoke is the best, in the process of boiling tea with their own understanding to add salt, ginger, milk, oil and other materials, if a few learned people sit together to taste often can be because of the issue of adding spices for a long time. For this kind of tea with all kinds of strange tastes, Feng Daiwen really couldn't accept it.

Feng Daiwen was born in Sichuan before the crossing, produced a lot of famous tea, grew up drinking a big bowl of tea since he was a child, and would have a cup of tea first when eating out. Training, to Chang'an, has been busy building, training, and fighting wars, I really don't have the time to think about that.

Now I just have time, and I just heard Xiao Yu mention it again today, so I plan to get the fried tea out, although Feng Daiwen has not personally fried tea, but there is a relative who grows tea at home, and he will fry the tea himself every year.

Thinking that he would be able to drink tea immediately, he couldn't help but miss his friends and relatives in the past, and when he thought of the future guests at home, he shouted, "Come to serve tea, serve good tea," Feng Daiwen couldn't help laughing, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster.

When Feng Daiwen met Li Shimin under the leadership of the little eunuch, Li Shimin was taking a family to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, Li Yuan also walked out of his ecstasy hometown, Liangyi Palace, I don't know if Li Yuan felt that his dead son was a little too much, and he stayed in the palace after the Zen throne to make people, Li Shimin often accompanied Li Yuan out of filial piety, this family is not there what sun, the May sun is really warm and comfortable on the body. A group of Li Shimin's younger brothers and sisters, sons and daughters are playing in the company of eunuchs and palace maids, a good picture of the royal garden.

"Minister Feng Daiwen participated in the emperor, the emperor." Feng Daiwen walked closer and saluted Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

"Wei Guo is here, but he came to visit the old man when he entered the palace!" Li Yuan asked Feng Daiwen with a smile.

"Hehe, the minister hasn't visited the Emperor for a long time, please forgive me!" Feng Daiwen smiled embarrassedly.

"Hehe, well, it's true that Weiguo hasn't come to visit the old man for a long time, but Weiguo shouldn't call me the emperor in the future, and I will punish you for taking out something that satisfies the old man." Li Yuan also said with a smile.

"Well, Grandpa Huang...... Grandpa Huang has all over the world, and it is not easy to come up with something that satisfies you, but there is indeed a wonderful thing for Grandpa Huang to taste today" Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment, and shouted tentatively with a red face.

"Haha, haha! The wonderful? What is it, take it out quickly! Li Yuan and Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when they saw Feng Daiwen change his words, and not far away, Wan Guifei and the eldest grandson couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile when they heard a few people talking.

"The minister is discussing trade in the Western Regions in Xiao Xiang's mansion today, Xiao Xiang mentioned tea, it is said that there are many tea trees in the palace, and the minister came cheekily to ask for one or two." Feng Daiwen said.

"Tea? Wei Guo wants to drink tea, but the tea in the palace is not picked by the tea trees in the imperial garden, it is a tribute from all over the country, and Wei Guo wants to bring some back later. Li Shimin said suspiciously: After all, tea can be bought everywhere, and the good ones outside don't have to be bad in the palace, so there is no need to go to the palace to ask for it.

"No, the sage misunderstood, what the minister wants is to make the tea leaves of the tea tree himself, not the tea that has been made, the minister met an old Taoist in a temple when he was a child, and learned that the way to make a tea is particularly delicious." Feng Daiwen hurriedly explained.

"Oh, special tea, make it quickly, let the imperial grandfather taste it." Li Yuan suddenly became interested, after all, he is also a tea lover, and often summons old friends such as Fei Lin to taste tea.

"Well, Weiguo took people to pick, Guang'an! Don't come here to take Weiguo to pick tea, haha" Li Shimin couldn't help but say loudly when he saw Guang'an and the others next to him, while saying that he was still laughing, which made Feng Daiwen and Guang'an flush for a while, and they were quite speechless about this unscrupulous father.
