In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

With the sound of festive firecrackers, the end of the Year of Gui Chou was officially announced, and the year of Jiayin naturally followed.

The seventh year of Hongzhi is a somewhat special year, and there are many major events in this year, such as the completion of the Kangji River embankment, such as the formulation of the law of the people. But for Xie Shen, none of this is important.

The most important thing for him is to prepare for the exams. After all, the scientific examination is the qualification test of the township examination, and only those who pass the scientific examination are eligible to participate in the township examination in the coming year.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law really returned to Yuyao three days before the New Year, and it is naturally a very happy thing for the family to be able to get together on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Xie family did not have any relatives in Yuyao, so Xie Shen also avoided the trouble of posting New Year's greetings one by one.

Xie Shen only enjoyed a few banquets with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, and this year has passed.

The most important thing of the year is naturally the scientific examination, but according to the custom, the Grand Master will come to Yuyao in June and July, and the Grand Master himself will personally preside over the scientific examination.

There were almost four or five months of Wen Shu, and Xie Shen was still not too worried.

In addition, he didn't want to stretch the battle line too long, so he planned to deal with it by reviewing on weekdays and assaulting before the exam.

After fifteen years, Xie Shen brought Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi to discuss the matter of planting cotton on the tidal flats.

After many inquiries, the so-called robbers were just a few thieves who committed crimes under the guise of momentum.

However, there are occasional Japanese raids in Ningbo and Songjiang Prefecture, but they are all small shares, which does not hinder the overall situation in the southeast.

Since the Japanese did not come, Xie Shen planned to start planting cotton in the tidal flats.

At the beginning, it was naturally a pilot project, and the Xie family and the Wang family each sent some tenant farmers to start experimental planting on the beach flats.

Naturally, the government said hello. The Simen Xie clan and the Shangtang Wang clan are all local families, and the Wu County Order is not easy to offend, so naturally go with them.

In fact, in the eyes of Wu Xianling, he should not be optimistic about this practice of planting cotton in tidal flats, but he just doesn't say it for the sake of face.

Cotton is planted in a long cycle and is not harvested until September and October. Moreover, Xie Shen had never planted cotton in the tidal flats himself, so he was somewhat apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, if the government doesn't dig deeper, it will be much easier.

Once something has anything to do with the government, it will be troublesome, and Xie Shen can think that if their experiment is successful, the first one to come together and share the soup will definitely be Wu County Order.

Wu County Ling is the official of Yuyao's parents, and he is worried about his political achievements. If the method of planting cotton on the tidal flats can be presented to the imperial front, it will naturally win the great joy of the Sacred Heart, and it is not impossible to be promoted back to Beijing.

Of course, with Xie Shen's character, he would not watch Wu Xianling take this credit away from him.

In the future, the imperial court will promote cotton cultivation on a large scale along the beach in the southeast, and the credit must also be credited to Xie Shen.

At least Xie Shen doesn't have to worry about these annoying things before the cotton harvest, but it is still necessary to take precautions. Xie Shen, the person of Wu County's order, has already seen it. Such a person does not have to be an enemy, but he must not have a deep friendship with him.

Pressing the gossip and not mentioning it for the time being, but said that on this day, Xie Shen was summoned by Confucianism and hurriedly went to the county school.

Seeing his teacher for the first time after the New Year, Xie Shen naturally brought some Yuyao immortal tea as a congratulatory gift.

It's not that Xie Shen is lazy, Confucius told him to close the door of the mansion and not see anyone during the New Year, and Xie Shen can't convince the door of the Kong family even if he wants to visit his old man.

This time, Confucius took the initiative to summon him, and Xie Shen could take the opportunity to pay homage to his old man.

What New Year's goods to send are also particular, Confucian is also a second-class jinshi, the basic level of appreciation is placed there, if the things sent are too cheesy, it will not only hurt the feelings of teachers and students, but also reduce Xie Shen's impression in the heart of Confucius.

The literati's favorite is naturally gold and stone calligraphy and painting, but Xie Shen is from a poor and poor family, where can he afford to collect these valuable things. Even if the family situation is better now, it is impossible to collect some immediately and send them to Confucius.

Besides, these things are too precious, and Xie Shen is also afraid of Confucianism's taboos.

Then there is only tea delivery.

Although tea is not precious, it has an elegant meaning, and it is naturally suitable to be used as a New Year's gift to teachers and elders.

Since you want to send tea, it is naturally Yuyao Xian Tea promoted by Xie Shen and even the Xie family. After Xie Shen's hard work during his visit to Yaji in Hangzhou, Yuyao Xianming's fame soared, although it was still suppressed by Qiantang Longjing, but it has firmly occupied the second place in Zhejiang tea.

Sure enough, relying on literati to make a name for themselves is the best way.

There is not such a big gap in the taste and quality of tea itself, and it is precisely because of the praise and disapproval of scholars and literati that it will be very different.

The quality of Yuyao Xianming is not bad, and after Xie Shen's publicity, there is already a faint intention to catch up with Qiantang Longjing.

Xie Shen gave this tea to Confucius, and naturally he also had the meaning of using Confucius's oracle to make Yuyao Xianming famous.

After some discussion with his brother, Xie Shen decided to use a bamboo box to pack Yuyao Xianming.

First, green bamboo is planted all over Yuyao, which is easier to collect and make than wooden tea boxes and bamboo boxes. Second, the temperament of Yuyao Xianming is also more suitable for the flushing and elegance of bamboo.

There are not many literati and celebrities who do not love bamboo, whether they want to be famous, or whether they are true temperament, in short, bamboo always gives people a positive impression.

Of course, after this fine packaging, the price of Yuyao Xianming has also risen, but it has always maintained a level lower than that of Qiantang Longjing.

This was Xie Shen's deliberate request, and the eldest brother Xie Fang didn't ask much.

The business world has the rules of the business world, and one step must not be crossed. This is the same as the imperial court.

It's like a new champion, who talks all day long in the Hanlin Academy about how the first assistant Shangshu is inferior to himself, so can he still mix?

Don't care what you think in your heart, at least keep your mouth shut.

Now Yuyao Xianming has just replaced Ningbo Zhushan tea to become Zhejiang tea Yakui, if a price higher than Qiantang Longjing is set at this time, isn't it tantamount to a blatant provocation to Longjing tea merchants?

Ning Yining is not an idle person, he will never allow Xie Shen's behavior, and will definitely unite with other Longjing tea merchants to suppress Xie Shen.

Xie Shen is now fledgling, if he offends Ning Yuan, a big man in the tea industry at this time, don't think about mixing in the tea industry in the future.

The road should be walked slowly, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the big deal can be shouted not to bully the poor young man. After all, for Xie Shen, who has just turned fourteen, they are all coming to Japan.

Xie Shen came to the county school with a tea box, and walked around Minglun Hall and came to the hall for Confucius to rest and work.

The other three were in the same hall, and as a teacher, Hung Tak Dao naturally enjoyed a small privilege and was allowed to occupy one room to himself.
