A shocked Asia sees in him a strange, epic China. Never suing for peace with the barbarians, nor buying them to withdraw their troops with heavy money, Tang Taizong turned his way and defeated them, making them afraid of China. - René. Grousse: "Empire of the Prairies"

Xu Yang supported his chin with one hand, and dragged and clicked boringly on the computer with the mouse with the other hand, he was about to search for some information about Datang, but he still didn't find some that was very useful to him.

The only thing that has been more useful recently is that he knows that in the winter of the second year, that is, the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turks will suffer a rare heavy snowstorm.

As one of the two superpowers that can compete with the Tang Dynasty, Turkic has always been a sharp sword in Li Shimin's heart

Datang, Chang'an City, Imperial Palace Forbidden Land, East Palace.

A young man dressed in an imperial robe, covered with carved jade, with a phoenix coming to the dynasty and the air of an emperor, sat in front of the copywriter.

As the greatest emperor in history, Li Shimin, who was only 28 years old, was full of vitality and passion, and he was unwilling to let the Tang Dynasty be silent in the threat of the Turks and Tibet.

In his hand, quietly playing with a crystal clear glass, take a closer look, it is actually a galloping horse glass carving, in front of him, paved with a huge map, only to see him, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, that pair of dark eyes, staring at the map 'Turkic' The two big characters, next to the two big characters, there is a very exquisite small note, there is only one line of words: Zhenguan three years of winter Turkic snowstorm, capture the thief first capture the king.

Li Shimin's gaze moved to the note and fell into deep thought.

"Holy Lord, Princess Changle asks to see you~" A eunuch said softly cautiously, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thoughts.

"It's Lizhi, let her in." The emperor's originally solemn brow stretched slightly.

"No~"

After a while, a little girl in a colorful skirt walked in respectfully through the door behind the screen.

I saw her pink jade beads, innocent and cute, very pleasing. "Daughter to meet her father~" The little girl made a standard court etiquette, which made Li Shimin laugh.

Li Shimin looked at the girl with a loving face, and said, "Lizhi is not rude, come over and let my father hug me." ”

When the girl heard this, she grinned, ran to Li Shimin's side and hugged Li Shimin.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Lizhi, your mother is in good health when she comes in." ”

The girl said with a naughty face: "Father, guess~" Li Shimin couldn't help but be amused again.

An old eunuch behind the screen was also full of joy, since the Turkic leader Jieli attacked the capital Chang'an twice, forcing Emperor Taizong to ride alone to make an alliance and pay tribute, this powerful emperor could not bear to be bullied like this, and his laughter could no longer be heard in his East Palace, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, his burden was too heavy.

But fortunately, he has a bright and lovely daughter, which brings him rare joy

Xu Yang is embarrassed now.

Several assassins, the old lady of the Liu family, and Zhang Taishou all looked at him with shocked expressions.

This is a family banquet, a private gathering of the high-end ruling class in Youzhou City invited by Zhang Taishou, and Xu Yang, a non-Chinese who has recently returned from overseas, was also fortunate to be invited to this family banquet.

Although it is said that the status of Shinong industry and commerce and businessmen is very low, Xu Yang's identity as a businessman is absolutely not qualified to sit at the same table with these officialdom.

However, the old lady of the Liu family's assassination has already tacitly accepted that Xu Yang is his quasi-son-in-law, which has raised Xu Yang's status a lot at once, not to mention, Xu Yang is really good at making money.

Although an official is an official, life still has to be lived, firewood, rice, oil and salt, as long as people live, they can't run away, there are many places to spend money, but there are not many places to make money, and these officials dare not swagger and blatantly greed for money.

Because Li Er, the ruthless man of the first emperor through the ages, has too powerful methods to punish corrupt officials.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

The rule of Zhenguan depicted in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty is: the government is harmonious, and the people are simple. Officials are honest and honest, and corruption has basically been eliminated, and there is not a single corrupt criminal in the country. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is an abundance of food, which is piled up like a mountain. The society is stable, there is no petty theft, the road is not forgotten, and the door is not closed at night. A few people who committed a capital crime were sent home to deal with the aftermath before they were sentenced, and they took the initiative to come back to accept punishment after they were done. When you go out to travel, you don't need to bring money or food, the park is all free, and there are people who receive and manage meals wherever you go.

Although it is undeniably exaggerated, Li Er did achieve the closest era to communism in Chinese history.

For example, the whole country has basically eliminated embezzlement, and in one year, only 29 people have been sentenced to death, and there is a cadre named Wei Zheng, and one person has put forward more than 200 "dissenting opinions" and more than 10,000 words, and the imperial court alone has set up more than 30 full-time cadres who have specially raised opposing opinions, and Li Er alone has issued edicts five times to conduct scientific examinations and select talented cadres throughout the country.

The Zhenguan Dynasty is the only dynasty in Chinese history that has not been corrupt, which is perhaps Li Er's most commendable political achievement. In China under the rule of Li Er, the emperor took the lead in setting an example, and the officials were dedicated to the public service, and the officials were in their own duties, and the phenomenon of abuse of power and corruption and dereliction of duty fell to the lowest point in history. What is particularly valuable is that Li Er did not use cruel punishments to warn corruption, but mainly set an example and formulated a set of scientific political systems to prevent corruption. In the face of a shrewd and self-disciplined ruler, officials have little incentive to embezzle, and it is not easy for corrupt officials to find a place to hide.

Therefore, the officials are not big fish and meat all day long, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain.

Therefore, all the officials in Youzhou are also tightening their belts to live, seeing that the Liu family is now making a lot of money by selling glass, all of them are very red-eyed, looking at people's big fish and meat, and being an official or a green vegetable and radish, so I really want to have some relationship with this so-called 'Xu God of Wealth', earn a little extra money, and subsidize some household is also good.

Xu Yang also knows why these officials are enthusiastic about him, and he has long planned to cooperate with the government, state-owned enterprises! Iron rice bowl.

But as soon as this banquet began, Xu Yang made a big joke.

The tea presented by the maid, everyone tasted it slowly, Xu Yang was a little thirsty, so he took a big sip first, but it didn't matter if he drank it, Xu Yang immediately lowered his head and squirted out all the tea.

'Nima! What kind of JB thing is this? Xu Yang had the expression of a dead father, he couldn't stop sticking out his tongue and sighing, trying to disperse the strange taste in his mouth, but the strange taste was still not gone for a long time, which can be described as 'lips and teeth'.

Zhang Taishou was the first to react, and he said softly: "Is Xu Chengguan not used to drinking this tea?" ”

Xu Yang followed the spittle and asked with a sad face: "This is also tea?" ”

Zhang Taishou smiled slightly: "If it is fake, this is pickled with the best materials." ”

Xu Yang's heart is full of 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, when will the word pickled be used for tea?

"Ahem, I said, pickled tea leaves?" Xu Yang asked curiously.

Zhang Taishou said with a smile: "Not only tea, in order to make delicious tea, but also pickled onions, ginger, garlic, dates and the like, this tea is also soaked in wolfberry, He Shou Wu, ginseng, it is definitely a nourishing tonic." ”

Zhang Taishou's words said that Xu Yang was a chill, every time he said an ingredient, Xu Yang's body would shake Nima, this is really not for people to drink.

"By the way," Zhang Taishou suddenly remembered something, "For the sake of deliciousness, salt and oil are usually added to dilute it." ”

Xu Yang died at the age of 21

Early the next morning, Xu Yang sent someone to Zhang Taishou's house to deliver new tea.

Not only did they send tea, but they also sent a tea blender who was personally instructed by Xu Yang.

When the tea master poured the boiling water in the purple clay pot into the glass, the tea leaves churned up and down danced like a young girl's song and dance, and the refreshing fragrance almost melted Zhang Taishou.

Zhang Xuelan, who was watching from the sidelines, was also obsessed, such an elegant tea drinking culture made her fall in love with this activity instantly, the fragrant tea in the cup, the white mist was shrouded, and the philosophy contained in the tea ceremony fascinated her deeply.

After three cups of water, the tea was finally brewed.

When the tea blender picked up the glass and said softly to Zhang Taishou, please use it slowly, Zhang Taishou felt that he had been intoxicated by the strong fragrance of this tea, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

When he took a bite into his throat, Zhang Taishou instantly understood why Xu Yang vomited in his mouth that day.

Compared with this tea, what I drink on weekdays is simply horse urine.

This tea is clear in the mouth, although it is brewed in boiling water, but it still feels refreshing, as soon as the tea is imported, there is the bitterness of tea, but slowly tasted, you can taste a trace of sweetness and fragrance, which can be described as the best.

Zhang Taishou picked up the glass and kept tasting it, the more he tasted it, the more excited he became, and hummed loudly: "Bring a pen and paper~"

The maid brought a pen and paper, and saw Zhang Taishou wave a big pen, and a song "Tea Tasting" came naturally:

"Light Tao Panasonic cooks Xiyue, with dew plum while boiling Lingyun.

The immortal tea given by Xu Gong is faintly fragrant. ”

The next day, the Datang Tea Alliance Company, which was formed by the upper circles of Youzhou, was established.

The company adopts a number of shares, Xu Yang in the identity of technology shares, 51% of the company's shares, as the company's CEO and general manager, the rest of the shareholders with capital shares, including Zhang Taishou, Liu Tingshi, Zhang Tingshi and several surrounding states of the state civil servants in the national capacity, 10% of their income is handed over to the state treasury every year.

Since then, Xu Yang has also created and joined the state-owned enterprise, holding an "iron rice bowl".

Since then, Xu Yang, the man of the year who stirred Youzhou, has a new title: Boss Xu, a state-owned entrepreneur.
