Hearing Li Yu say this, Zhang Yue looked down at the small and delicate teapot and tea cup, which are celadon produced by the Yue kiln, with a pale green glaze. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Nowadays, whether it is the court or the people, the porcelain used is "blue in the south and white in the north", that is, the white porcelain produced by the criminal kiln in the north is mainly used, and the Yuezhou celadon is mostly used in the south, because the porcelain produced by these two kilns is the most well-known nowadays.

The so-called "cup" is a bottom dish with an anti-scald under the teacup, that is, the plate, the cup, and the lid are composed of three parts; If it is a "wine cup", there is a small disc bottom seat at the bottom of the glass; If it is a "bottle", it is mostly square and binary, or single-eared, half square and half round, like a spoon; And "Jue" to this era, it is relatively rare, and even the court is rarely used. Therefore, the ancient utensils are really varied.

The teapot is a three-legged mono-amphora pot with a small spout on the other side, and the surface of the glaze is shiny enough to illuminate the human face. It is estimated that this set of tea sets is also worth a lot of money, Zhang Yue thinks that he is not short of money at home, but the utensils used are only superior, and there is no such luxury, so he can't help but pick it up and take a look, then he picked up the teacup cover, and carried the teapot slightly tilted, and a crystal light green water line flowed into the teacup.

Looking at the teacup again, in the sizzling sound of a thin layer of white foam on the surface, it looks like a cloud and mist surging and quickly dissipating. The leaves at the bottom of the pale green cup float, resembling a golden lotus, precipitating one by one, and the spare pale green tea exudes a strange fragrance.

"It's really good tea, it's the best!" Even if Zhang Yue doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, he can also see that the quality is extraordinary, and he can't help but praise, holding the bottom plate with his left hand, pressing half of the cup with his right hand, sipping lightly, suddenly feeling full of fragrance, slightly closing his eyes and feeling the warm and soft tea sliding through his throat, until it flows into the abdomen, then he opened his eyes, put down the tea cup and smiled: "The tea is good!" The princess's tea art is also exquisite! ”

"Zhang Xianggong has won the award, in fact, the insider's tea art is mediocre, and he is better at music and song and dance. I also heard that Zhang Xiang is the son-in-law of the sixth brother of the King of Wei in the Daimyo Mansion, and Mrs. Zun must also be very talented. When Li Yu heard Zhang Yue's heartfelt praise, he was immediately very happy. Men, praise him himself may not care, feel that his woman's talent is appreciated, and he feels more face-saving.

"Huh...... My wife can only run the house, which is a little fluent, and she has no special hobbies! Zhang Yue suddenly smiled bitterly, thinking about it, Fu Jinqiong really has no specialty, and she can't do needlework well, but she is better than being smart! Although he always stays at home and doesn't go out much, he knows everything about the officialdom in the capital.

"Zhang Xiang is too modest! Why don't you drink this cup full? If you like this tea, bring two boxes back later to taste it! Li Yu smiled, turned his head to look at Zhong Mo, and while the two raised their lamps to invite drinks, they secretly exchanged glances.

Zhang Yue smiled and nodded, he was a martial artist, his eyes and senses were not ordinary keen, and he didn't say much when he saw the demeanor of the two of them. Raise the teacup and drink it all, slightly close your eyes as if feeling the afterglow of the tea, in fact, of course, to give the other party a chance to make eye contact, waiting for them to speak. There is a saying: If you are not profitable, you can't afford to be early, otherwise you really came here just to see Li Yu, and he doesn't have so much charm.

"Presumably the early dynasty Zhang Xiang was also in Jinxiang Palace, right? I wonder if my small country in the south of the Yangtze River can fulfill this tribute request? "Maybe it's been discussed," Zhong Mo asked.

"Huh...... Since Mr. Zhong has been in Tokyo for many days, he should have heard of yesterday's city gate fire, right? Zhang is soft-spoken in the DPRK, and he may not be able to help anything! Zhang Yue guessed that these two people must have found themselves because of yesterday's incident, which shows that they are stupid.

"Why should Zhang Xiang be too humble, but I also heard that several ministers in the book bowed their heads, so Zhang Xiang should be as good as a mountain!" Zhong Mo had a smile on his face, he had just figured it out this morning, and this Zhang Xiang was a close relative of the Wei Wangfu and close to the palace, so he was definitely the best candidate to promote this matter.

"Then it depends on whether the two of you can give exciting conditions! However, luxury and rare things, Zhang may not be eye-catching. Zhang Yue smiled, not wanting to say too much on this issue, and directly let them show their chips.

even pointed out that ordinary treasures and beauties should not be brought up. Because the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty came to Tokyo to pay tribute and often sent beautiful women, Zhang Yue is not short of this now. Beauty is also a human being, and she always has to be accompanied and taken care of when she pushes, and people's energy is limited.

It's so rude and tricky, I can't stop the words before I can open my mouth. Zhong Mo's face froze, and he suddenly became angry, they really had the idea of sending beautiful women, but now they said they didn't want to, so they had to look at Li Yu for help to see if they could send something else.

That's not how to talk about business, Zhang Yue suddenly became a little impatient, and said: "Speaking of which, your so-called tribute is actually an exchange of materials, so it's very simple, what are you going to exchange for gold and brass?" If there is silk silk, Zhang can't help it, but if there is a large amount of food, it will be easy to do! ”

"Grain? I lost the land north of the river, and now there is a shortage of food! Li Yu was a little moved, but he hesitated to make a decision.

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily, right? What do you trade with the Khitans of Liao? Grain for war horse hides, for northern iron, do you think you don't know? Zhang Yue sneered, after recovering Youzhou, through the account books of the Left-behind Mansion, the transaction volume between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Liao State over the years was very huge, but in the future, it could only go to Liaodong, and it would also be investigated by the sailors of Beiping Mansion, and this maritime trade route was basically interrupted.

Li Yu's face changed, and he suddenly didn't understand what Zhang Yue meant, this Great Zhou court also knew, and the Southern Tang Dynasty had also made a promise not to trade with Liao in the future, so now paying tribute to Tokyo is to solve the problem of lack of money in the country.

"Good sect Zhang Xiang understands, that is already a thing of the past, if Zhang Xiang can persuade the third secretary to make Zhang Xuangui loose, we have another thanks!" Zhong Mo hurriedly took over the topic and said.

"That's easy to say, I don't know if you've heard of Huihe Trading Company? Zhang can write a letter to help you make a deal, but the price of silk may not be ideal. Zhang Yue pondered for a moment and decided to take over this business, this batch can be eaten, and only food will be needed in the future.

Although the northwest has been stockpiling grain, it is far from enough, and the luxury of silk needs to change hands before it can be exchanged for grain. And the cotton cloth in the northwest is good and cheap, dumped to the land of Bashu, has formed a huge impact on the Shu brocade, the northwest has to reverse the acceptance of Shu brocade, sold to the Hehuang people in exchange for cattle and sheep, if the Jiangnan silk can not be eaten.

"Food needs to be considered, we have also heard of Huihe Commercial Bank, but I don't know what it has to do with Zhang Xiang, we need a lot of gold and copper, I wonder if they can eat it?" Zhong Mo asked cautiously, it would be rude to ask about someone's background in person.
