It was bright and it was time for the three of them to leave.

Because he was going to go with him, he appeared first and didn't forget to bring a warm breakfast.

Later, there were also Yulinguan and others, they faintly noticed that when their host returned again, it would be a first-level grandmaster realm, so at this time, their faces were silently happy.

A large number of officials also came soon after, and after asking Li Zhi's opinion, their dozen or so carriages did not come in handy.

There are nearly 600 miles to Ezhou, Li Zhi's four people on the road to speed up the horse, it will not take two hours, if you take a carriage, it will take at least four or five hours, maybe along the way will encounter the county government to greet each other, in that way, to Ezhou will not be dark.

Moreover, all the way to go, whether it is Sun Simiao or Zishi Daochang, they all know some shortcut trails, even if they walk and stroll, they are much faster than the team.

There were many visitors, all kinds of entertainment, and it was nearly noon when a few people went on the road.

may have received reports from all parties, before leaving, whether it was the forces of Tianzhu Mountain, or the officials who came to give gifts to Li Zhi and others, all kinds of tea accounted for the majority.

On the road, Jiyuan helped settle a settlement, in addition to the 1,300 catties of the Duyuan Temple, there were nearly 1,000 catties of tea, and there were dozens of varieties.

As no less than the Qinling Mountains stretching Tianzhu Mountain, naturally there are not only several kinds of tea that Li Zhi knows, but also six kinds of camellia in the Yulin Temple, although it is still inferior to the emerald green of Bolai, but it is better than the outside of the mountain, and it is worth a strange shortage when it is sold in the market.

Moreover, Yulinguan not only reluctantly sent out dozens of catties of sparrow tongue mountain tea inventory, but also hundreds of catties of other teas, just what he got here is enough for Li for a year, of course, the premise is that it is only sold within Chang'an City.

"Leaving from Ezhou, Mr. Li still plans to go to Limatan and his party? Tea is different from others, the color of the second year's aged tea is already dim, and the soup color turns brown after washing, and the fragrance is very poor, don't fall into the reputation of Zhengqing Wenqitang! ”

Zishi Daochang said that he was also out of kindness, and the quality of high-grade tea was the most taboo, but this person knew that the goods in Zhengqing Wenqitang were all extremely valuable.

Of course, he also has some selfish intentions, and he can come back a few days earlier without the need for Mao Ma Tan and his party, although no one tells him, he also knows that Jiyuan is through some kind of treasure to raise the realm up.

Li Zhi vaguely promised himself that to help the realm improve, it must also be through this method, and the reason why he wanted to follow him was that the nature of the investigation was more.

Before Li Zhi could answer, Sun Simiao had already spoken: "Mao Ma Tan is bound to go on a trip, and the matter of tea is a trivial matter, but since I learned that Chu Banxian was so misbehaving, the local ethnic leaders colluded with him and collected excessively, anyway, it was also a way, and it couldn't be delayed for a day or two." ”

What he said was half-true and half-false, Li Zhi had communicated with him in private, and it was very likely that Chu Banxian had some kind of ancient recipe in his hands, otherwise the medicinal effect of the tea made by that person would not be too significant.

You must know that the price of Chu Banxian is not low, most of the local natives are poor, if there is no effect, who will go out and bankrupt, and also ask for some?

Sun Simiao I practiced medicine, and the fame of the king of medicine came from his persistence in this way for a long time, and the importance of such prescriptions was more important than practice.

Moreover, Li Zhi even thought that Chu Banxian was very likely to master alchemy, even if it was only the lowest level of a first-grade alchemist, it was very rare in the world.

In fact, if you go to the Maomatan south of the Wujiang River, it is not a way, but a big circle, but Zishi Daochang does not know the specific purpose of a few people, only knows that they will settle in Guangdong.

Li Zhi added with a smile: "This time I went to various places, but there was a holy will first, and the emperor instructed me to go as hard as possible even if the information I got was not very detailed." And the Moutai town there is a must-go, and their reputation for Moutai cannot be ignored. ”

"There is a sentence that should not be asked, but it is always frustrated in the bottom of my heart, and I don't know ......"

As soon as Zishidao's long words came out, Li Zhi knew what he meant, "Are you concerned about the Holy Body?" ”

Seeing that he received an affirmative reply, he looked whole and continued: "It is because his old man's condition is not very good that I will leave my family and business for this trip only three days after my wedding!" The purpose of coming here is not only the Holy Destiny, but also personal preferences, but the desire to give the Holy Upper a psychological comfort accounts for the majority, after all, he has been suffering from illness for decades, and he has never been able to do what he wants to do, which can be regarded as helping him with a long-cherished wish. ”

When he said this, although Daoist Zishi had guessed, he was still deeply shocked, not because Li Zhi was reused, but out of respect and forbearance for Gaozong, after all, the emperor had a very high prestige in feudal society, and even a person like him was not exempt from vulgarity.

And in this way, his insistence on Li Zhi can be understood, ordinary people know that Gao Zong's life is not long, and he will fulfill some unfulfilled wishes for him, and he will do his best if he is Zishi Dao Chang himself.

Let's talk about it all the way, and in the afternoon, I entered the Ezhou boundary.

Ezhou has always been a military and commercial town in the south of the Tang Dynasty, a super-large city, three towns across the river, the city's rivers and rivers, lakes and ports intertwined, the water area accounts for a quarter of the city's total area, constituting the water ecological environment of the riverside and lake, and is also an important commercial town along the Yangtze River.

Therefore, before entering Ezhou City, you can already see the large and small ships shuttling into the river from afar, dense and busy.

When he came to the city gate, he didn't have time to get off his horse, and a general ran forward: "The person who came is from Chang'an City?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "It is Li Zhengwen of Li Zhi of Chang'an City." ”

The man hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed, and Li Zhi hurriedly jumped off the horse to support him, and asked the reason.

Only then did he learn that he was from Ezhou Mansion and had been waiting outside the city gate for two days, so he smiled and said: "Lord Yin Li Teng Li of Ezhou Mansion should come around dark, and I will wait for the horse to come quickly, which can be regarded as a front battle." ”

His name is Jiang Decheng, who is the adjutant of the state government, and when he saw Li Zhi's words, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is an important minister in the court, where will it be a battle, I will lead the adults to the government." ”

This is one of the most densely populated places with many people, so Jiang Decheng did not open his mouth to call Li Zhi's specific identity.

On the way, he introduced the other three people, Li Zhi asked about the situation, and learned that he was waiting in the mansion at the moment, including the people who stayed behind to keep the guard, and they all gathered in the Ezhou mansion.

Originally, Li Zhi also planned to rush over later, along the way, they were still hungry, I heard that the hot dry noodles and soup dumplings here are a must, I thought about filling it, entering Ezhou Mansion will be a formal dinner, where is there a chance to have a good meal.

Saying what he thought in his heart, Jiang Decheng said with a smile: "These Li Shaoyin have thought of it, at this moment, there are hot dry noodle stalls outside the house, including the soup dumplings you mentioned, as well as roasted wheat and beef. Bean shreds, noodles, come from afar, these are necessary. ”

Sun Simiao laughed, "Li Shaoyin is Li Ting and Li Lerong, right?" I heard him introduce him during the banquet a few days ago, but I didn't expect this person to be very careful. ”

"Brother Le Rong is good, a rare person with a careful heart among the soldiers. But I've been in a hurry to come and go, and I haven't talked about the customization of ships? ”

Jiang Decheng hurriedly replied to Li Zhi, "Guo Yuanjun, the big owner of the Hongjiong Ship Repair Factory, has already arrived, and the Lord has specially explained it." However, the other two also came, although on weekdays due to the government-run shipyard, the shelves are very large, but because of Mr. Li's incident, the two of them are almost about to fight with Hongjiong Shipyard! ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "Why is this? Moreover, Hongjiong Shipyard also has a military back. Jing is a kind of transcendent existence, so do the two families have the guts? ”

Jiang Decheng further explained: "Hongjiong's military identity has been greatly diluted, and he still undertakes the government's procurement and shipping manufacturing, but his share is getting smaller and smaller. Mr. Li's identity, the other two are very clear, this is thinking of getting close to Mr. Li. ”

Li Zhi is concerned about this matter, but there is a reason for it, he is customizing a transport ship for Zhengqing Wenqitang, and he spends his own silver, and if the manufacturer has competition, the price will be reduced by a part.

In the Tang Dynasty, a large transport ship was extremely expensive, and half of it could be saved, and the customization of several ships was also a large amount.

Not long after, Ezhou Mansion was close at hand, because Jiang Decheng assigned someone to deliver the letter in advance, and at this moment there were already waiting for officials outside the mansion, and there were nearly 100 people.
