Lu Bu didn't know at all that in the years since he left, such a change had taken place in Dahan? Not to mention anything else, just the style of drinking tea, driven by him, has developed from scratch, from small to large, becoming the most fashionable drink at present, and has also become a very important commodity on the Silk Road, which has been enthusiastically sought after by the Western Daqin (Roman) aristocracy.

"Hehe, if you want to say anything else, I'm really not qualified, but this drink, don't hide it from the virtuous son-in-law, I really know a lot, not to mention anything else, just where I live, there are countless drinks, and we also try to squeeze many fruits into juice to drink, will it be as good as your tea? What's more, we also have this thing there, but it's all used for medicinal herbs, as a drink? It's a shame you can think of it. ”

After listening to what Liu He said, Lu Bu, who didn't know the situation at all, smiled on his face and said with a little disdain.

"Oh? Is it? Liu He was not moved at all when he heard this, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, you can taste it first." ”

After a while, the tea was brought up, Lu Bu took it casually, opened the tea lid, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly smelled a fragrance, suddenly perked up, smelled deeply, and sighed softly: "It's so fragrant, is this really tea?" But even if it smells good, the most important thing is what it looks like in your mouth. ”

Lu Bu said as he took a sip involuntarily, and suddenly felt a fragrance directly into his spleen, and his whole spirit became a little invigorated, and he said with an incredible face: "I really didn't expect that there is such a good drink in this world, but I want to ask, is this really tea?" How exactly do you do that? The tea we have there is all for medicine, with a medicinal taste. Could it be that the tea we have there is not good and can only be used for medicine? ”

Liu He heard this, he smiled: "This has nothing to do with tea, the main thing is that the production process is different, it needs to go through tea picking, finishing, rolling, drying, humidifying the pile, drying, screening and classification, steaming and drying and other processes, and this process is very particular, just picking tea is staggering, it needs to be picked before the valley rain, and the picker needs to be about sixteen years old, pick with the lips, and then warm with the chest, after the tea tastes strange, this kind of tea even I am not willing to drink, generally for entertaining VIPs, Now do you know what kind of price this tea sold for among the Hu merchants in the Western Regions? One pound of such tea can be sold for 5 taels of gold. ”

At that time, a tael of gold could be exchanged for ten yuan, and a pound of tea could be sold for 50 yuan, that is, 50,000 yuan, and under normal circumstances, a stone of rice was only sold for 10 yuan, that is to say, a pound of such tea could be sold for 5,000 stone rice, and at that time, even if it was a member of the three public level, a month's worth of Yu Lu was only 3,000 stones, that is to say, a big member of the three public level, a month of Yu Lu could only buy a little more than half a catty of such tea, which shows how ridiculously expensive this tea is?

Lu Bu was speechless after hearing this, and sighed softly: "This is too expensive, I, Lu Bu, can drink 5 taels of gold and a pound of tea, which can be regarded as a life in vain." ”

Liu He said half-jokingly: "Even if you are your father-in-law, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink tea like mine here in the future, such a valuable luxury is mainly used to dig out the pockets of merchants in the Western Regions, but it is not for us to enjoy ourselves. ”

"Hehe, it's enough to have this time, I don't plan to enjoy it like this." Lu Bu paused, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I came to Chang'an today because I have a big matter to discuss with you. ”

"Oh?" Liu He's expression moved, but he didn't show any further, just looked at Lu Bu calmly, and then asked, "I don't know what advice my father-in-law has?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, where do I dare to advise your future Son of Heaven? Alas, in fact, it's not a discussion, but, rather, I want to send a big gift to the Han, I don't know if you, the son of heaven, have such an appetite to accept it? ”

"Hehe, my son-in-law has a big appetite, father-in-law, please speak." Liu He's heart moved, but he just smiled very calmly, and then said.

"I don't know, the king, have you ever heard of Yizhou? Although it is only an island, it is not much smaller than the 800-mile Qinchuan River, and it is rich in products and fertile land, which is really a rare treasure. ”

"Yizhou?" Liu He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart after hearing this, he heard the meaning of Lu Bu's words before, it should be that he was stranded on an island, in his opinion, the place that is closer to the land and can garrison troops may be the largest there, but this is just his inference, I don't know what the real situation is, now that Lu Bu said this, he immediately affirmed that the other party occupied that treasure island.

Of course, Yizhou is not as big as the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, but it is indeed a relatively large island, Liu He has long coveted this treasure land, but in view of various factors, he has not yet carried out a navigation plan, and now Lu Bu wants to dedicate this place to him, he naturally can't ask for it.

"Do you want to dedicate Yizhou to me?" Liu He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said to Lu Bu.

I saw Lu Bu nodding and said: "Exactly, I wandered on the sea for many months, and finally found this island, lived here for ten years, and finally made this place get the initial development, and domesticated an army of 50,000 people, of course, before I insisted on going my own way, attacking the Japanese country, but was defeated by Sima Yi, lost more than 10,000 people, and now there are still 37,800 people, there are thousands of residents on the island, about 200,000 people, I manage them, teach them to farm, Now that the vast majority of the people there are under my control, I have come to hand over these 30,000 soldiers and 200,000 people to the king, and to congratulate you on your enthronement and the Son of Heaven. ”

"You, you mean, completely hand over Yizhou's army and household registration to me?" Liu He also became excited after hearing this, because in his opinion, with Lu Bu's character, it is already good to be able to submit to the Han in form, and if he wants him to be completely obedient, he needs to use various means to win over him little by little to improve his loyalty, and wait until his loyalty reaches 200 before it is possible to completely surrender, but he didn't expect the other party to directly announce complete submission now, which is somewhat unexpected and at the same time gratifying.
