The Wa State is located at the junction of the Pacific Plate and the Asian Plate, and it can be clearly found from the map of later generations that the area at the edge of the plate is an earthquake-prone area, and it is also the most resource-rich area, and even many international metropolises in later generations are built on the edge of the plate.

There has never been a shortage of gold, silver and copper mines in the Wa Kingdom, and coral, pearls and jade have also been produced, but what is lacking is the skills, culture and system of the Tang Dynasty.

Several people sat together, this time there was no need to introduce each other, but when they entered the house, they glanced at Yuerong more, and they couldn't figure out how a woman from a green building appeared next to Zhen Qian every day, and smiled meaningfully at the unclear relationship between the two, and no one had the meaning of breaking this layer.

Seeing that Zhen Qian's hospitality was not tea soup, Fujiwara Shuxiong was about to open his mouth to introduce to the two Tang ambassadors, when he heard Yuerong on the side take the initiative to speak: "The two Tang ambassadors don't know, this is black tea, it is a unique way of drinking tea in Zuixianlou, and after arriving in Guyu, Zuixianlou will also launch a drink called Qingcha, which has a different taste when you drink it in the hot summer!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong then remembered that the Drunken Immortal Building was Zhen Qian's industry, so he said: "The tea I drank at Zhen Lang's house last time was very refreshing, Zhen Lang might as well make a pot of tea, and also give the two Tang ambassadors a taste?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't have any opinions, so he beckoned someone to make a pot of tea, "This tea is divided into old tea and new tea, and the new tea is divided into three types: spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea, each of which has a different taste. ”

"I didn't expect Zhen Lang to have research on tea, when I was studying in the capital, I saw a few people directly put tea leaves into the tea cup to drink, there is a different flavor, today I also want to taste Zhen Lang's sencha craftsmanship?" Fujiwara Kiyokawa narrowed his eyes and said.

"That person's name is Lu Yu, the word is gradual, and he is from Jingling, Fuzhou?" Zhen Qian was slightly stunned.

"Exactly! Zhen Lang knows this person? Fujiwara Kiyokawa couldn't help but feel strange.

Of course, Zhen Qian can't say that he knows Lu Yu from later generations, as long as it comes to tea, few people don't know Lu Yu's name, and his thousand-year-old "Book of Tea", but unfortunately Lu Yu's tea and Zhen Qian still have many differences, especially in the post-processing, after the improvement of countless people in later generations to gradually improve and develop, Lu Yu just played a role in connecting the previous and the next, and was praised as "tea fairy" by later generations, respected as "tea saint", and worshiped as "tea god".

"Hear something about this person?" Zhen Qian said haha: "Since I started studying the tea ceremony, someone has mentioned Lu Yu to me, but I didn't have the opportunity to see him, which is really a regret in my life!" ”

Everyone doesn't think so, it's not easy to see a celebrity these days, most of them only hear their names and don't see them.

Soon a pot of tea was served, everyone tasted it, and it felt really different, Ji Bei Zhenbei opened his mouth to ask Zhen Qian's tea making process, and Zhen Qian lightly pushed it to his craftsmen, but he didn't want to take everything on himself, anyway, he didn't worry about the Japanese people sending someone to investigate.

Ji Bei Zhenbei didn't come to taste tea today, so naturally he wouldn't dwell on this matter, and he was about to speak, when he saw someone rushing in, holding a famous thorn in his hand, whispering a few words in Zhen Qian's ear, and quietly retreated.

Several people in the room focused their eyes on the famous thorn in Zhen Qian's hand, obviously Zhen Qian had only been in Yangzhou for two days, and someone invited Zhen Qian, which couldn't help but make people a little curious.

"I don't know what's going on?" Zhen Qian shook the famous thorn in his hand, sighed and laughed at himself: "Someone actually knows that I came to Yangzhou and invites me to a banquet tomorrow, I am quite welcome in Yangzhou?" ”

"Zhen Lang's song "Ai Lian Said" has become famous in the Tang Dynasty, since it is a celebrity, it is not surprising that someone has invited it?" Fujiwara immediately flattered.

"I just came to Yangzhou, the maritime merchant Zhang family invited me to the banquet, I am not familiar with the Zhang family, can you introduce the lady of Yuerong", Zhen Qian looked at Yuerong with a smile, and his first reaction was that Wang Bo was making trouble inside, but it was unlikely that he thought about it, and thought that Zhen Shi was still in Yangzhou, and he had already asked him not to show up, I don't know if Zhen Shi was manipulating behind the scenes.

Before Yuerong could speak, Fujiwara Qinghe had already gasped and said in surprise: "Yangzhou Zhang family? This is the first of the top ten maritime merchants in Yangzhou, with millions of family assets, I heard that there are hundreds of sea ships in the hand, not only with the Japanese and Silla countries, but also with the southern countries of bulk trade, it is said that the second largest restaurant in Yangzhou is the industry of the Zhang family, it should be heard that Zhen Lang will be invited to the banquet in Yangzhou! ”

Zhen Qian understood the Tang court's policy towards maritime merchants: let them come and go, make their own transactions, and not increase the rate tax.

If the most developed period of maritime trade is the Song Dynasty, then the origin of maritime trade is the Han Dynasty, after the development of the Han Dynasty, to the Tang Dynasty maritime Silk Road has begun to see the scale, north to the Bohai Sea, south over the later generations of the Strait of Malacca, arrived at the Arabian Peninsula, but at this time the scale of maritime trade is far from reaching the level of the Song Dynasty thousand sails race, but it can not be underestimated.

Is it because he is the owner behind the scenes of Drunken Immortal Tower, but why did the Zhang family know that he came to Yangzhou, or the Zhang family had already noticed him, or was there another reason?

Yuerong pursed his lips and smiled: "What the deputy envoy sent to Tang is right, the Zhang family is indeed the first maritime merchant in Yangzhou, but the Zhang family is low-key, even if they usually have little contact with the government, I heard that there is an inexplicable relationship between the Zhang family and the Silla Kingdom, and it can only be regarded as half a Tang person?" ”

The so-called half of the Tang Dynasty in Yuerong's mouth refers to the foreign people who live in the Tang Dynasty, which is like the Chinese who lived abroad in later generations. These outsiders married women from Datang, or spent money to donate an official and a half-position in Datang, and used Datang as a base to do business with outsiders, this kind of person is not a minority in Datang.

I didn't expect Yuerong to easily pierce this layer of window paper, and then look at Yuerong's disdainful expression, obviously very uninterested in the maritime merchant Zhang family, think about the superiority of the Tang people, even the Qinglou woman may look down on those Hu people!

Zhen Qian secretly laughed in his heart, if the Zhang family knew that they were despised by a woman in a green building, they didn't know what their expression would be!

Fujiwara Shuxiong quietly gave Zhen Qian a look, Zhen Qian immediately understood, if he wanted to smuggle into the Japanese country, he had to open up the maritime business, and the relationship between the Zhang family had to go, thinking of this, he decided to go to the Zhang family tomorrow, and he was very curious about what the Zhang family was looking for him?
