Reuniting with the descendants of the Zheng family - this is something that Zhang Mai has been looking forward to for a long time, because he very much hopes to develop a group of "his own people" in this area as much as possible, and the first choice of the development object is, of course, the descendants of the "Cargo Colony Mansion".

Tang Jun can be open-minded and accept all nationalities, but when starting a business, the backbone must be a person with sincerity and common values.

"After all, the Zheng family and the Cargo Colony Mansion are a branch of the Tang Army, and they are related in blood, have a common discourse, and it is easier to agree on values." He thought that once a mutual understanding was reached with the descendants of the Cargo Colony, there should be a great chance that the two sides would be blended and reunited. This is much faster than merging a group of foreign tribes from scratch, and the foundation will be stronger.

Thinking of the various abilities displayed by the Merchant Colony Mansion back then, it can undoubtedly be called the intellectual elite of the Tang Army, if their descendants still retain the ability of their ancestors, and the Tang Army can win them over, the help to the Tang Army is unlimited.

This kind of help is not directly embodied in combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but in logistical support, strategic staff, intelligence exploration, and even internal management after finding a base area in the future.

But now that he met Zheng Wei, Zhang Mai realized that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

When Zhang Mai first saw Zheng Wei, he was attracted by this young man, and his ability has not yet been seen, but from his words, response, temperament, etc., Zhang Mai feels that this should be a person with clear thinking and independent thinking ability.

As for Zheng Wei, Zhang Mai also seems to be an ordinary martial artist.

"After all, he is a messenger from Chang'an, and he must have extraordinary ability to come here."

Both of them felt that each other was not simple, but unfortunately the two failed to communicate with each other, Zhang Mai felt that there was a gap between him and each other, and Zheng Wei seemed to be on guard against Zhang Mai.

The two sides talked for more than a dozen words in the secret room, and each of them was hidden and tested each other.

"After all, after so many years, we came suddenly again, and it is only right for him to guard against us." Zhang Mai thought to himself.

In fact, why didn't Zhang Mai guard against the other party? Before it was determined that Zheng Wei could sincerely cooperate with Tang Jun, he did not dare to rashly tell Tang Jun about his reality and strategy.

For some reason, Zhang Mai's first feeling for Zheng Wei was good, although Zheng Wei did not open his mind to Tang Jun as soon as they met, Zhang Mai told himself: This reaction of the other party is normal, we must tolerate it, and we must be open-minded. If Zheng Wei had to be relieved of Tang Jun as soon as he came up, Zhang Mai would have to suspect him of any conspiracy!

"The Tang people in the Tibetan Tablet Valley also resisted us at first, but now they have become one of the most important forces in our Anxi Tang Army. As long as you have enough patience and sincerity, you should be able to persuade the Zheng family. Zhang Mai thought in his heart, and his face was a little less dissatisfied and a little more pleasant.

What about Zheng Wei? He was also wondering: What are these guys from New Broken Leaf City doing when they suddenly appear here?

If he asked Zhang Mai directly at this time, he would have been able to get the answer on the spot, but he didn't dare to ask this question because he felt that the other party would not be able to say it to him.

It's a pity that the more silent he pondered, the farther away the correct answer was from him.

The gap between generations cannot be resolved in a moment.

A few people returned to the study, and the old family Zheng Hao offered refreshments - tea is not good tea, but this is Julan City, there is still tea to drink, Guo Shiyong, Yang Dingbang and others were surprised, Yang Yi simply didn't know what tea tasted like, took a sip, frowned and said: "This is tea?" Unpleasant! Bitter. ”

Zheng Wei's younger brother laughed when he heard it: "The tea is a little bitter in the first place, but after it is bitter, it is a little sweet." When he said this, his chin was slightly raised, and he looked like a city man looking at a country man.

Although Zhang Mai did not have a deep study of tea, but he had a Chaoshan man in the same dormitory when he was in college, and he had to put out that set of kung fu tea every day, Zhang Mai also drank it for a few years, and listened to him blow the tea for a few years, and then he also had a little knowledge of tea ceremony, and then smacked it, and found that it was a relatively inferior tea, and it was sprinkled with tea powder, and it was cooked for a long time to make the tea taste, the tea itself was not good, and the cooking method was not suitable for the tea nature, so the taste was even worse.

In this era, the tea of the Western Regions has to be imported from the Central Plains, and it has been transferred from the south of China to this place, and its price is comparable with silk and gold. So although the tongue feels bad, there is still another kind of psychological enjoyment.

Zhang Mai was "once difficult to make the sea water", tried to think that the tea was inferior, and put it down, and said to Yang Yi with a smile: "After all, this is the Western Regions, and it is good to be able to have tea." When I return to the Central Plains in the future, I will invite you to drink Longjing, Pu'er, Junshan Yinzhen, Biluochun, Tieguanyin......" counted seven or eight kinds of famous tea in one breath, and Zheng Han was stunned, and even Zheng Weiping's conceit of "the first in learning within two thousand miles" did not understand much, but when he heard the sentence "wait to return to the Central Plains in the future", his heart sank.

Yang Yi asked, "Brother Mai, are all the tea names you just said?" ”

"yes."

Yang Yi looked at the bowl of black liquid in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "What Longjing, Pu'er, if it's all so bitter, I think it's better to drink." ”

Zhang Mai said with a smile: "This tea and wine, just like the civil and military courses, can coexist. Our Tang boys, holding Tang knives in their hands, reciting Tang poems, killing the enemy while drunk during wartime, and talking about scriptures with tea in peacetime, are not misplaced. ”

Zheng Wei listened and nodded slightly, but Yang Yi smiled and said, "Don't say it so nicely," he raised Zheng Han's ear and said, "Boy, you tell the truth, don't you really like to drink this bitter thing?" He has a "self-familiar" temperament, although Zheng Han is the first time he has met, because he is similar in age to Yang Zhuo, he treats Zheng Han as a younger brother in his words and demeanor.

Zheng Han followed Brother Nai, also with a bit of Sven temperament, at this time his ears were raised, thinking about why this person was so rude, but seeing Yang Yi smiling, he didn't know why he couldn't get angry, he wanted to deny it, but finally laughed: "Actually, I don't like it, it's not delicious at all, I usually praise it well, not because it's expensive!" It's not tea, it's money. ”

Yang Yi laughed, patted his head, and said, "Brother Mai, did you hear that?" I just said this tea is not good! Not only is it ugly, but it is also unpleasant to drink. If you are a child, is there still a fake? ”

Zhang Mai glanced at Yang Yi with disdain and said, "That's because you haven't drunk good tea, really good tea, is it all this bitter taste?" Hey, for example, the West Lake Longjing is not only beautiful, but also delicious. ”

"West Lake Longjing? Is it the West Lake of the first beauty Xi Shi throughout the ages? Zheng Han remembered the story that his brother had told him before.

"Well, it's the West Lake. That Longjing tea is produced on the four peaks near the West Lake, that tea, tsk, just served up, only to see the tea soup green, the tea leaves at the base of the soup are delicate and delicate, serve closer, then feel the aroma is far away and clear, people are already half drunk, and then serve it up and taste it gently, the taste, sweet, fresh, pure, positive - that beauty, just like, just like ......"

Zheng Han swallowed his saliva and shouted, "It's like Xi Shi!" ”

Zhang Mai laughed: "Yes, it's like Xi Shi!" You haven't drunk it, but you describe it better than me. ”

Yang Yi was even more stunned: "There is such a good tea......"

Even Zheng Wei was stunned. Behind the bookshelf in the study, a slender figure gradually moved closer, and seemed to be attracted by Zhang Mai's tea talk.

Zhang Mai swept the corners of his eyes, although he saw it, he didn't see it, and said: "Our Tang Dynasty's good tea, more than that, this West Lake Longjing, like a beauty, a heroic beauty, was originally called a reflection since ancient times, but our Tang Army is at the beginning of its business, but we can't indulge in it." There is a saying: Gentle Township is a hero's mound! Therefore, although there are many famous teas in our Tang Dynasty, if I am asked to choose at this moment, I would rather choose Wuyi Dahongpao. ”

Yang Yi and Zheng Han both asked: "What kind of tea is the Wuyi Da Hong Pao?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "That Wuyi big red robe has a strong fragrance, durable for a long time, tea and live, durable for a long time, and more generally rare - such as West Lake Longjing although precious, but after all, it grows in the wind and rain, although the output is very small, but every year the season arrives, and the tea picker can also pick it on time. But the big red robe was born between the clear water and Dan Mountain, on the cliffs, and its tea is even more at the end of the clouds, if you want to pick this tea, you must first conquer the natural danger. A good man tastes this tea, imagining the scene of the tea picker conquering the dangerous mountains and rivers, and his spirit is self-generated! This is not only tasting tea, but also tasting the unparalleled courage of our Tang boys! ”

Yang Yi's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and when Zheng Wei heard this, his heart also moved slightly, and said: "For the sake of this time, but to take the risk of breaking your bones, I'm afraid it may not be worth it." ”

Zhang Mai said: "If you don't take risks, where can you get the taste?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "Even if you want to taste the taste, you have to do what you can." Even though the big red robe is the best, it is a foreign object after all, but if you lose your life because of this, it will be very irresponsible and reckless to yourself and your family. ”

"Otherwise, no," Zhang Mai said: "It's not good to be reckless, but if you yearn for it but don't dare to act, it's not a reckless man, but a coward." ”

Zheng Wei smiled faintly and said: "Life is in the world, nothing is greater than life and death, and love is greater than family." This tea is just a trail, and it is not worth it to destroy your family for it. ”

Zhang Mai said: "Although tea is a small way, it contains wisdom, and even the art of war. A warrior may not die if he is in the place of death; Those who cower and cower survive in secret, but it may not end well. Although our ancestors left behind the principles of doing things and doing things, although they do not advocate blindly rushing, they do not advocate blindly cringing, but pay attention to both wisdom and bravery, and pay equal attention to benevolence and strictness. As far as the tea ceremony is concerned, when it is like the silver needle of Junshan, although it is small and weak at first glance, it is naturally the best of the best because it contains the five virtues of military wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness. ”

In the study, including Zheng Wei, everyone was curious when they heard it, and Yang Yi was the best soldier, and he couldn't help asking: "Junshan Silver Needle contains the five virtues of the soldiers?" What kind of tea is that? ”

Zhang Mai said: "That Junshan silver needle is produced in Qingluo Island, Dongting Lake, the color of the tea is bright, the aroma is refreshing, the taste is mellow, there is no need to mention more, but there is more of the same, this tea is made of all the buds, the tea body is all over Baihao, the size of the upper grade is uniform, the shape is like a silver needle, and it is like a reduced spear!" If it is placed in a cup and poured in with boiling water, the tea leaves will be erected vertically and suspended in the soup, just like the army resting in a dormant position hears the war drums, suddenly stands upright, moves upstream and downstream, and finally slowly sinks and stands at the bottom of the cup, like a spear phalanx mighty forest! Therefore, tea is the favorite of soldiers, because the army is like water, this Junshan silver needle is washed by water, it is like an elite soldier by the impact of the army, first with the trend, and finally into the mainstay! In ancient times, a famous general saw it and said that this tea: it can follow the water potential, which can be described as wisdom; Swimming is not chaotic, it can be described as faith; Such as a spear, such as a halberd, mighty but not killing, can be described as benevolence; Move and then sink it, such as the elite soldier's view is not shocked, it can be described as brave; Standing at the bottom of the cup, the formation is cautious, although there are gaps in it, there is no opportunity to take advantage of it carefully, it can be described as strict - for the five virtues, this tea is fully prepared! ”

This description made Zheng Han's mouth close when he heard it, and Yang Yi was even more speechless, eager to grow wings at this moment and fly to Dongting Lake to taste this Junshan silver needle. Zheng Wei was even more fascinated, and muttered: "This kind of good tea, let alone tasted it, even if you have never heard of it!" After a while, I couldn't help but sigh: "How beautiful is God's favor for the Chinese people!" Such as treasures, all of them are given to the eastern soil. Like the Western Regions, like the desert north, all the tribes grew up in the bitter cold and arid desert land, and they were destined to suffer as soon as they were born. ”

Zhang Mai sneered: "What kind of bastard are you talking about!" Could it be that the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of our Tang Dynasty and the cultural relics and treasures of China fell from the sky at the beginning? ”

Since Zhang Mai tasted tea, he spoke politely, but his tone suddenly became stern, Zheng Wei was stunned by his scolding, and said, "I have to ask for advice." ”

Zhang Mai said coldly: "Our thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were fought out by our ancestors with a knife and a gun, and every inch of mountains and rivers is stained with the blood of the martyrs!" As for the countless cultural relics and treasures, they are not talents, but thousands of intelligent and intelligent people, accumulated from generation to generation. Our Huaxia can not only expand, but also build, where the children of the Han family go, they will bring a good life, Jiangnan, Bashu, Longyou - these places, where was not the wilderness? After being incorporated into the Chinese territory, it gradually became a place of ointment after hundreds of years of development! On the other hand, the Hu people have the courage to destroy and are lazy to build. Wherever their iron hooves tread, the cities there will be in ruins, and the fields will be overgrown with barren grass, but even then they don't know how to introspect, but when they see the Central Plains full of flowers, they think that the heavens are unfair, and they will come to rob it. But I don't know how much blood and sweat are soaked behind the Han people to enjoy this world of flowers! What you just said is a portrayal of Hu's human nature! I see you've read a book, and you said it yourself, isn't that a bastard? ”

Zheng Wei listened and was silent.
