"I heard that the Mihara Liu family, in the recent past, there has been a big move, I don't know what Mr. thinks about this?" In King Wu's mansion, Li Ke sat respectfully opposite Cen Wenwen, across a national chess board, and asked Cen Wenwen on the opposite side softly. {First Reading}

"What Your Highness said some time ago, Liufu Guang collected newly picked tea?" Cen Wenwen picked up the tea bowl in front of him, lifted the lid of the bowl, blew lightly on some green tea in the bowl, took a sip, and raised his head to look at Li Ke, the king of Wu.

"It's not just tea, but also the Liu's Tea Workshop that they opened in Sanyuan," Li Ke raised his chess piece and said in his mouth: "In just half a month, Liufu used up nearly ninety percent of the family's wealth, collected almost all the new tea in several nearby counties and counties, and opened a tea shop. ”

"Even if this king doesn't understand business, but the value of this tea is still somewhat understood," Li Ke pointed to the tea in the bowl in front of him, and said: "It is the tribute tea in this palace, and the price is only 300 Wen, and the ordinary tea cakes are even more unbearable. The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion is really bold enough, taking advantage of the absence of the master of the family, he dares to spend such a big deal to do this loss-making business. "Your Highness's words are good," Cen Wenwen put down the tea bowl. stroked his chin and beard, and said, "However, judging from Weichen." That Liu Wuchen dared to act like this, he must have been fully prepared, otherwise, even Liu Ertiao would not allow him to act so recklessly. Squandering the property of the house. ”

"Not only that, but a few days ago, the reason why Liu Erjo suddenly proposed to leave Liufu is probably not unrelated to it." Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Ke and said, "It's just that it wasn't too obvious at the time, and you can see who can produce it." Not much. ”

"Oh? That's what Mr. means in a word. Li Ke grabbed another chess piece, raised his eyes to Cen Wenwen, and said, "The reason why Liu Ertiao was so decisive in the first place to cut off contact with Liufu was to get rid of Liufu's actions?" ”

"Officials don't talk about business," Cen Wenwen raised his hand, picked up Li Ke's third son, and said lightly: "Liu Ertiao is now the county governor of Sanyuan, and he has no relationship with Liu Mansion in advance." It can avoid suspicion, cut off the tongue, and can clear itself, and make a career for profit, this point. Yanagi did it decisively. And it's very responsible. ”

"None of the brothers of the Liu family are ordinary people. None of them can be underestimated. If possible, His Royal Highness might as well take some time to get in touch with the second eldest of the Liu family and that Zhang Chuwen. While Li Ke was thinking about the chess move, Cen Wenwen picked up the tea bowl again and said: "But if you want to take him for your own use, I'm afraid that the result will be the same as when I first collected Liu Yiyi, so don't speak, just befriend him." ”

"This king has to save it, since the last time the two of them were in the middle of the scientific expedition, when they were invited by many parties and did not arrive, Ke knew the thoughts of the two of them," Li Ke nodded slightly, and said to Cen Wenwen: "Although Ke does not agree with the two of them, but in the near future, Ke has to admire the courage, courage, and mind of the two of them, and they are only loyal to the emperor, and the two of them are very good at being officials." ”

"This is also the reason why the emperor looks at them differently," Cen Wenwen stared at the chessboard with his eyes, and whispered to Li Ke: "Don't take refuge in any force, don't rely on any party, although it will be a little difficult to walk in the official career, and it is indispensable to stumble, but if you are only loyal to your own subordinates, will the emperor let them suffer?" ”

Cen Wenwen saw these things in the officialdom thoroughly, and when he saw that Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen had made this idea, Cen Wenwen couldn't help but admire in his heart, like them, civilian officials who have no power and no attachment, want to stand firm quickly and go further, such a choice is undoubtedly the most beneficial way for them. {First Reading}

It was also from that time that Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, who had been in the limelight, also officially attracted the attention of Cen Wenwen.

According to Cen Wenwen's understanding of Li Shimin, young officials like Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, who are talented, innocent, and loyal to the royal family, if they don't step up training, the emperor will hardly be called Mingjun.

The court needs new blood, such as Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wei Zheng's generation, although they have great talents, experience, and means, but their age is already on the high side after all, and now it is enough to support many affairs in the court in an orderly manner, but in the future, five years, ten years, twenty years, birth, old age, sickness and death, can not be violated, the affairs of the court must always need someone to take over, and the emperor also needs to train and reserve some talents for the prince.

"Take back the people who are monitoring Liu Erjo's side," Cen Wenwen continued, "I can't find anything, and Liu Erjo is now the official of the court, unlike in the past, many things can't be done too much." Liu Erjo is not a fool, those people exist, he can't say that he knew about it as early as the first day. ”

"Yes, as Mr. intended!" Li Ke bent over to answer, Li Ke never doubted Cen Wenwen's teacher's judgment.

"As for the Liu's teahouse in Liufu," after a pause, Cen Wenwen glanced up at Li Ke and said, "Has Your Highness ever seen that among the many businesses made by Liufu, which one is a loss-making transaction?" In this Liu's tea shop, there must be some mysteries that are not known to outsiders, but there is no need to worry, after a while, you will be able to understand. ”

"Okay, let's stop here today, Weichen still has official business, so it's inconvenient to accompany him more, His Royal Highness King Wu forgive me!" After losing another son, the victory or defeat was already revealed, Cen Wenwen stood up straight, and bowed slightly to Li Ke.

"Send Mr. out of here!" didn't care too much about winning or losing on the chess table, Li Ke then stood up and respectfully sent Cen Wenwen out of the door.

That night, whether it was Liufu or near the mansion where Liu Ertiao was located, the number of suspicious wanderers had decreased sharply, and among the people who wanted to withdraw their manpower, there was not only one Wu Wang Li Ke.

At the same time, at the same time, almost at the same time, in Sanyuan, as well as Chang'an and several neighboring counties and counties, almost all the mansions of the famous scholars and big families had people in the name of Liu's Tea Workshop to send a bag of about one or two new loose tea for free, and the name of the tea was called Sanyuan.

"This is sent by the Mihara Liufu?" In the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, Wang looked at the handful of dry green leaves on the table, and asked the housekeeper Wang Tai: "Was it sent by Uncle Sun?" ”

"Back to the master, this tea was sent by the dust-free housekeeper, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Sun, according to the person who sent the tea, this is the newly made Sanyuan tea in their Liu's Tea Workshop, and I want to ask the master to taste and judge." Wang Tai bowed down and replied: "Not only in our house, but in this Chang'an City, all the families who know some money and status in their families say that they have given it away." It's just that they are also a little stingy, and they only give away so much in total, sir, you see, if it wasn't for the little one to cook a pot for you to try? "Well, let's try it," Wang said, picking up a piece of tea and putting it to his nose to smell it, and an enticing fragrance came from the leaves, and the tea looked good.

"Yes, sir, sir, wait a minute!" Wang Tai stepped forward lightly, wrapped the tea leaves on the table again, and after saluting their master, he turned around and went out.

One or two teas, although not much, but if it is brewed, it is enough to drink dozens of times, but when sending out these teas, Liu Wuchen deliberately did not explain the correct way to drink this kind of tea.

"Huh?" After a while, Wang Tai came from outside the door with Yahuanfu, who was serving tea, and Wang, who was looking at the books in the study, was attracted by the fragrance diffused from the tea.

"Sir, please use tea!" Yahuan took down the teapot and tea bowl on the tray one by one, gently poured a bowl for Wang, and handed it to their master.

"Hmm," Wang stretched out his hand to take the tea bowl and put it directly to his mouth, just smelling the fragrance of tea just now, this old man was a little impatient.

"This tea," squinting his old eyes slightly, Wang slowly sent the tea in his mouth into his stomach, and after a long time, he began to speak: "The entrance is slightly bitter, and the stomach is sweet, and its taste is several times more mellow than the tribute tea in the palace, it is a good tea!" This old Liu family will really surprise people! ”

"Wang Tai, do you know how much these three original teas are worth?" Wang raised his head and looked at the housekeeper Wang Tai, and gave a soft command, "If the price is right, I will go to the Liu's tea shop tomorrow to buy more and come back!" ”

In this night, all the rich men who drank Sanyuan tea invariably made such an instruction to the people. The names of Liu's Tea Workshop and Sanyuan Tea have also spread in this way
