Chapter 105: Mr. Jiang
To tell the truth, Lin Liu didn't take Cao Zhang's words too seriously.
Because he doesn't like him, there are many people who are respectful to him on the surface, not everyone obeys him as the head of the county, especially when he is so young, it is too normal for literati to be light, but others have not taken the initiative to provoke themselves, Lin Liu will naturally maintain the etiquette on the surface, this is not only the upbringing of the Lin family but also a mask, in fact, what he thinks in his heart is naturally only known by himself.
In the shopping mall, the first thing Lin Liu learned was not to trust people so easily, whether it was a colleague or a boss, it was possible to dig a pit for you to jump, let alone a competitive opponent.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with friendship, only about interests. Oh, and now I have to say that it is only about fame, after all, for the literati of this era, fame is just as important, because fame is profit in some cases. So in the face of Cao Zhang's flying sentence, Lin Liu was actually a little vigilant in his heart, as for who the object of vigilance was, it was difficult to say.
Some people feel good about themselves and think they are the savior, but in reality they are nothing.
Of course, it is not excluded that Cao Zhang is really reminding Lin Liu in kindness, but even so, in Lin Liu's opinion, this kindness still has its own careful thoughts in it. You must know that he and Cao Zhang have only known each other for less than half an hour, and he doesn't even know anything about Cao Zhang's family background, just looking at his conversation and clothes, the other party is at least from the Shu clan. There are very few people in such families, and the vast majority of them are full of calculations.
Cao Zhang's eyes flashed and said: "I also talked to Brother Lin at first sight, Brother Lin should have heard about what happened in the Wen family." After speaking, he shook his head: "It's a pity that the genius has fallen!" ”
Yes!
Lin Liu was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know what was going on with the "Duzhong Wen family", but after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Brother Yuqing, don't worry, I will pay attention." ”
Cao Zhang smiled at Lin Liu, didn't say anything, and began to discuss the poem he just said, as if what had just happened didn't exist. Lin Liu also suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered them attentively.
"Brother Liu, Yuqing, what are you talking about, hurry up, come with me, Mr. Jiang's question was suddenly released today, let's go and take a look, it may not be what we can answer." Zhen Yingjia squeezed over and said excitedly.
Although the Zhen family has risen with the stability of the emperor's status, the officials and those meritorious families still look down on the Zhen family, especially the Zhen family, although their ancestral home is in Jinling, the place where they can be officials and powerful is in Huzhou, so as long as they don't go to spend time drinking, Zhen Yingjia still loves to play with Lin Liu, and today is also the Lin Liu that Zhen Yingjia came to find, and this Cao Zhang was also introduced to Lin Liu by Zhen Yingjia.
It is true that the Zhen family will be unlucky in the future, but Lin Liu can get a lot of benefits from following Zhen Yingjia now, at least the people of the third-rate and nine-rate sects can know a lot, and even the talented people of the left path can also know a lot. These people usually look useless, but anyone and anything is useful, if people think it is garbage, it is not the essence of uselessness but the place where people misplaced, as long as they are not deeply acquainted, different streams and pollution, there is no problem in knowing a few.
"Brother Yuqing is a coincidence today, I just happened to meet this Mr. Jiang with a question, you must know that although this Mr. Jiang is highly educated, he can be called a great Confucian, but his temper is very strange, and there is no fixed number when the question will be asked." Hearing this, Lin Liu hurriedly stood up, and said to Cao Zhang while following Zhen Yingjia downstairs.
Seeing this, Cao Zhang also followed Lin Liu and Zhen Yingjia downstairs, there was no such activity in the capital, which made people curious, "I don't know who Mr. Jiang is?" ”
"No one knows who Mr. Jiang is, and no one has seen him, only that he is the owner of this Accord, quite knowledgeable, Jinling talents are proud to be able to break his mention, if you can solve the problem, this Mr. Jiang not only exempts the tea money, but also comes with a pour of high-quality Biluo Chunchun tea." Lin Liu explained.
The free tea money can only be said to be average, of course, this is for Lin Liu, the focus is on the high-quality Biluo Chunchun tea in the back.
You must know that since the discovery of Biluochun, it has always been a royal tribute, no matter what form it takes, in ancient times, as long as it was a slightly more powerful dynasty, iron, salt, tea and silk were all state-owned, what is state-owned, it is the official purchase and official sale.
In addition, many people don't know a greasy place, silk is okay, like tea, according to the season is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter four kinds of tea, and then according to the number of picking, one round of tea and two rounds of tea, and then what is the tea before the rain and the tea before the rain. Generally speaking, the top grade tea, local officials will not supply the emperor to the royal family, because the quantity is really pitiful, and it is generally a relatively large number of first-class tea.
Biluo spring is the best spring tea, which has stored a lot of nutrients after a whole winter of recuperation. The color of spring tea is more bright green, the leaves are thick, the aroma is more intense and pleasant, and the tea leaves are more white.
In other words, the prize given by Mr. Jiang is a real tribute.
Although generally speaking, local officials will not pay all the fine tea tribute, and there will usually be a retention, but it doesn't matter if there is no one who has no power, it will definitely not be able to buy it.
The reason why Lin Liu knows these "insiders" is because although the origin of Biluochun is not in Gusu, but in Suzhou County, the Lin family is also a big family in Suzhou County, and naturally has a certain friendship with local officials, especially officials like this who have been doing it for several years.
For Mr. Jiang, Lin Liu has secretly inquired, naturally he has not inquired about anything except the news on the surface, but Lin Liu feels that this person's family status should be above the Lin family, because he has roughly calculated that every year on average, Mr. Jiang will release two or three cans of this kind of tribute tea, this amount is definitely not small, I am afraid that it is the concubines in the palace, and those who are not particularly favored can't drink it, but Mr. Jiang can have so many here every year, and there is definitely a deep background behind it.
This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be obtained with a high position, and the Lin family also takes advantage of the terrain, so they can get a little bit, and it is enough for a few masters to drink every year. And it's not every day and Biluochun, it's several kinds of tea, in exchange for drinking that frequency.
