Li Yuanxing is kind and wants to accompany several princesses for a day.

But Zheng Xiuyan expressed the mood of the princesses in one word, Zheng Xiuyan said: "Your Highness, it is better to go to Chang'an City today." I haven't been to Lemin Garden for many days. ”

Li Yuanxing was speechless.

"Go, go, go!" Li Yuanxing was a little helpless, didn't he feel like Xiao Biesheng was newly married? I was almost three months away from home, with a little anger: "Let's go now and go to Chang'an City." ”

Zheng Xiuyan turned over and jumped up: "Your Highness has an order, and the car is simple." After half an hour, go to Chang'an for a few days! ”

Stay a few days!

Li Yuanxing really couldn't cry or laugh.

Lemin Garden, which is already known as the first prosperous place in Chang'an City. It has seriously affected the business of the East Market, but fortunately, most of the stores here are branches of the East Market stores, otherwise the stores in the East Market must have been greatly affected.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yuanxing's motorcade arrived at Chang'an City at about three o'clock.

The seven princesses of Qin didn't even enter the Tiance general, so they went directly to Lemin Garden, where there were already fast horses to make various arrangements first. Li Yuanxing belongs to the standard privileged class in Datang, and places like Treading Snow Tower, Lou Yuan will have reserved boxes for him.

Just as Li Yuanxing arrived at the Tiance General's Mansion, in less than half an hour, the Tiance General's Mansion received hundreds of posts requesting an audience with the King of Qin.

Even Gao Jian handed over a post.

King Qin was not happy, and no one dared to go to Qin Wangzhuang to disturb.

King Qin came to Chang'an, which proves that King Qin's mood has calmed down. Therefore, many things need to be made by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to take an idea, especially the chambers of commerce, in their hearts, Li Yuanxing, the King of Qin, is their backbone. What's more, not only businessmen, but also the three newly established agricultural guilds in Chang'an City all asked to see Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanchang and Li Yuanxing returned to Chang'an at the same time, and Li Yuanxing could do nothing because he was in a bad mood.

He can't!

"Fifth brother, the younger brother has picked it. Some things really need the fifth brother to take an idea, even the royal brother also thinks that the fifth brother should take an idea, so for business matters, depending on when the fifth brother is in a good mood, he still has to meet with him. "Li Yuanchang now holds the official position of the head of the Qin Palace. is reporting in Li Yuanxing's study.

Princely level of the main book.

Li Yuanxing asked lazily: "Didn't you go to accompany Princess Silla?" ”

"Originally, I was going to accompany me. It's just that the princess heard that several sisters-in-law were going to Lemin Garden when they arrived in Chang'an, so they also followed. The fifth brother didn't know that the younger brother couldn't get the noble box. ”

Li Yuanchang's words Li Yuanxing can understand, even if he goes to accompany Princess Silla. He couldn't buy tickets for many places in Lemin Garden. If you're standing in line. Wait as little as a few days later. Or even longer.

The aristocratic box is a rule set by Li Yuanxing.

Except for Li Yuanxing, who has a privileged box, the rest of the boxes are also limited in the number of times they can be used. For example, the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries naturally have the privilege to use it three times a year, but they also have to make an appointment one day in advance. The rest of the more or less also twice. Or maybe it's all at once.

There are special ones, such as Qin Qiong.

Since the opening of the park, he has had six times in a whole year. This was calculated based on his military exploits in the ninth year of Wude and the first year of Zhenguan, so he had three specially increased privileged boxes.

Like Gao Jian, he had four times. This time he increased because he had made meritorious contributions in handling foreign trade, so he had the Tang Emperor's reward decree. This can be added once. Like Lao Cheng is not in Chang'an, but there are five times in his house. Li Xiaojing guards the frontier, and his family will add it twice.

No matter how specific Li Yuanxing is, he doesn't know.

I just know that the Ministry of Rites has laid down a very complicated calculation method, as well as the rules for adding points.

Li Yuanchang is just a prince, an idle prince, he only has two times in total, and he has long since used it up.

Li Yuanchang saw that Li Yuanxing was thinking deeply, and opened the book in his hand: "Fifth brother, the Cotton and Linen Chamber of Commerce seems to be the most urgent. They have been assigned to the Commercial Division. Although the tea chamber of commerce did not show that he was very anxious, the younger brother knew that the leaders of the five major tea chambers of commerce in the Tang Dynasty and the tea merchants of the top ten famous teas had already come to Chang'an City. ”

"Let's see the tea merchant first, my brother happens to have something to discuss with them. When I saw the tea merchant, let Cui Changshi, Brother Wei, Gao Shangshu, and Fang Xiang. And you, listen together, things are not trivial, and you have a long insight! ”

"Yes, Fifth Brother!" Li Yuanchang performed the courtesy of a subordinate and retreated.

Li Yuanxing slowly leaned back on the soft chair, Qiu Xiang was preparing tea for Li Yuanxing, and Yuan Chun was helping Li Yuanxing massage his head.

But it was less than ten minutes, and everyone arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king is rude." Li Yuanxing hasn't changed his clothes yet, and he is still wearing the kind of cotton horse clip that will definitely make the imperial historians impeach, this dress is not at all what the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty should wear, let alone a formal occasion.

"It's rude that I'm waiting, I heard that His Royal Highness has arrived in Chang'an, in fact, I've been drinking tea in the gatehouse!" Fang Xuanling replied with a smile.

"Sit down and serve tea!"

Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to come, so they sent three people into Li Yuanxing's study as representatives. These three people are the head of the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce, the head of the Lingdong Association, and the owner of Longjing Tea Mountain.

"Your Highness, we and the Chamber of Commerce have encountered unsolvable problems!" The head of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce took a step forward, first bowed his hand and then said.

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly.

Qiu Xiang said on the side: "Please speak up, the choice of key points is simple and clear. Your Highness still has a lot of important things to do! ”

All the flattering words were thrown aside, and the first sentence of the head of the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce made Li Yuanxing smile: "Your Highness, we have no tea." After seeing Li Yuanxing nod slightly again, the head of the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce continued: "Your Highness, the existing tea plantations are far from enough, and the orders from the Foreign Commerce Division of Chang'an City alone are beyond the limit of what we can handle. ”

"Good!"

Hearing that there was no tea, Li Yuanxing was very happy, this is a very good news.

Very good? Everyone was confused, but they didn't understand why Li Yuanxing said this.

But I heard Li Yuanxing continue: "The part that you are embarrassed about now is. New Tang tea is more profitable, and the people of Datang like it more. Chang'an and Luoyang combined, even civilians can buy you a few catties of Tang tea every year. In your tea plantation, the newly planted tea trees can be harvested for at least three years, so it is not that you don't have tea in your hands at the moment, but you don't want to make brick tea. ”

"What His Highness said is that the tea market in Suzhou and Hangzhou is three times larger, Luoyang is seven times larger, and Chang'an is twenty times larger than before. This is not counting the supply volume required by the Department of Foreign Commerce, and I am not afraid of His Highness's blame. Your Highness, please check it out. I used the technique of Tang tea. The income of the worst tea farmers has also increased by three times, and the most prosperous such as Longjing Xian Tea Plantation, the income of each tea farmer is more than 40 times that of the original, although it is harder to take care of the tea trees than before. But the tea farmers are happy! ”

Longjing tea!

Prices are now high in Chang'an. Premium lotus heart level is simply not available on the market. The top tea on the market is the Peacock Tongue Grade 1 Tea. Each tael is more than 400 yuan, and the lowest is called Longjing green leaf tea, which is used in summer leaves. There are even old leaves, which are sold for almost twenty wen and one tael. With such a high price, it is still in short supply.

Listening to the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce's analysis of the current tea market in Chang'an, Li Yuanxing really smiled in his heart.

"Tea bricks still have to be made, after all, from the perspective of preservation, tea bricks are easier to preserve. The Eastern Turks are my allies of the Tang Dynasty, and their tea is to be guaranteed, even if it is less. Or sell them some Tang tea, in short, you can't cut off the goods of your allies! ”

"By the order of His Highness!" The tea chamber did not dare to refuse, and what Li Yuanxing said was an order.

Li Yuanxing's tone changed!

"The tea over there in the Western Turks, cut it off for them. From this day forward, this king does not care what reason you find. Tea should not go west, but should be bought again to merchants of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa. It's just this tea tree, how long will you have to wait? ”

Hearing that the tea for the Western Turks was broken, Wei Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he was also thinking about it.

"When I went back to His Royal Highness, I originally added a new tea. But the number is not much, plus after His Royal Highness promoted the immortal tea last year, a large number of immortal teas were planted, and next spring. The output of the tea industry will be about two and a half times more than in the spring of the first year of Zhenguan, and about four times more in the autumn. Really to this batch of new tea trees can be harvested in large quantities, I am afraid that it will be in the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan, and in the spring of the fourth year of Zhenguan, it can reach more than ten times the current one! ”

Listen to the first explanation of the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce. Gao Jian also said: "Tea trees will be planted more next year." ”

"There is already Jihua, and all the tea plantations are waiting for the state capital to divide the mountains. But the Jihua of the Brocade Chamber of Commerce is a mulberry tree that is ten times heavier, especially in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are already some ...... for the mountain land" Before the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce finished speaking, Wei Zheng said coldly: "Such a trivial matter, should His Highness mention it?" ”

"A certain faux pas, a big faux pas!" The Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce hurriedly saluted and retreated aside.

Wei Zheng's attitude is not wrong, the two of you will fight for the mountains. To put it mildly, this is something that the state government has to solve. To put it mildly, when it comes to a certain department of the Datang Ministry of Commerce, it will be the end.

It is really a waste of time to pretend to be such a trivial matter under the palace of King Qin.

"Wei Changshi broke the tea industry of the westbound caravan. Whether it's a reason or an excuse, there's a long history to worry about. It is your duty to make more money and pay more taxes. It's better for tea farmers, if the local grain price is too high, you can buy grain from Luoyang, but you must not hit the local grain price! ”

"Yes!"

Li Yuanchang stood up at this time: "If the tea chamber has nothing to report again, it can retreat." What His Royal Highness King Qin mentioned, you should do it with your heart, and don't spread it at will! ”

The people of the Tea Chamber of Commerce retreated according to their words, and their biggest problem was the pressure of the Datang Ministry of Commerce.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty, tea is a luxury, a drink, a taste, and a pleasure. But for the people on the grassland, tea is a necessity of life, how to live without tea, and I don't know how many people will get sick without tea. For those who eat meat all year round, only tea can neutralize the fat in the stomach.

Fang Xuanling suddenly said at this time: "It's better to break the ordinary silk!" ”

The ordinary silk was also broken, and Li Yuanxing's first reaction was that Fang Xuanling guessed his thoughts. (To be continued......)

PS: One step closer to the light of the great gods, ha.
