If it had been before, on the second day after Lu Jiuyuan and them returned, she would have been able to come to visit. The friendship between the two parties, which is also a teacher and a friend, makes her not need to scruple too much.

But now that she is the eldest princess and a woman, she has more scruples, so she can only post and invite them to come over.

In fact, the next post invited Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them to the princess's mansion for a gathering, which is inappropriate in the eyes of those who abide by the rules. But Du Jinning does not intend to abide by the set of rules that women themselves imprison themselves.

If she is afraid that others will gossip about her, she will abide by that set of rules, and the end result will be a cocoon, and she will be bound by this rule.

So, she has to make her own rules and go her own way. The defense of big men and women, for the sake of Qi Muyuan, she can abide by it; But to what extent she wants to abide by it, it is up to her to decide.

The weak are the enforcers of the rules; The strong have always been the makers of the rules.

She's going to be a rulemaker.

Five days later, in the princess's mansion, Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, who took the time to come out, received Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them together.

Yes, there are only three Lu Jiuyuan. An Shi stayed in Ribenz and did not come back.

As a low-born person in Da Song, An Shi felt that he would never be able to wash away the imprint on his body.

Even if one day he relies on his powerful piano skills to get ahead, the moment he is recognized by others and his identity is revealed, all his efforts will collapse.

After all, in Runzhou before, even if he didn't serve people in person, he had to show up to play the piano, and he knew a lot of him, and he served a lot of guests.

In Nichibon, no one knows his origin and origin, but everyone is very sought after because of his superb piano skills, because of his deep understanding of the tea ceremony, and because of his outstanding appearance.

So when Lu Jiuyuan and the others returned to the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't come back with them.

He didn't say that he wasn't coming back, but that he wanted to live in Niben for a while. If you want to come back later, you can come back on a merchant or monk's ship.

Lu Jiuyuan really likes An Shi, a motivated child, and is very willing to ask for a new identity for him, so that he can go back to the Great Song Dynasty to live in peace.

Of course, how An Shi was brought to the Du family garden by Du Jinning, even Lu Jiuyuan didn't know. His remarks to Zhao Yu were the explanation that Du Jinning gave him at the beginning - because of the lack of a pianist in the tea ceremony, she heard that An Shi's piano skills were superb, so she ransomed himself for him and asked him to be a special pianist for the tea ceremony in the garden.

Du Jinning can understand the choice of comfort.

She sighed for the comfort of the matter, and then asked the question she was most concerned about: "How is the tea cultivation of Japanese benzene?" How big is the area? There are not many tea drinkers, and how popular is the tea ceremony in Japan? ”

"When we went, the habit of drinking tea was only prevalent among monks, so we only planted some in front and behind the temple, and the area was not large, only enough for the monks of the temple to drink. After we went, we held several tea parties in the aristocratic circle, and the fashion of tea drinking among the Japanese nobles began to take shape. In this way, the tea produced by Japanese benzene is not enough. Fortunately, when we went, we listened to your advice and carried a batch of tea over, which solved the urgent need. Lu Jiuyuan said.

"After all, we didn't ship much tea, and the tea was not released, so it was almost exhausted in half a year. Fortunately, there were frequent trade exchanges between Japanese benzene and the Great Song Dynasty, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty saw that Japanese benzene tea was expensive, so they transported some tea from the Great Song Dynasty, which was enough to supply the demand of the nobles. ”

"The price of tea is still very high?" Du Jinning asked.

Lu Jiuyuan nodded: "Although the Japanese benzene and our Great Song Dynasty are only separated by a sea, not far apart, but the sea risk is large, and the shipboard of the merchant is not as wide and firm as the ship we sit on, and the risk is large, and the cost of transportation is naturally high." Such a price is also deliberately maintained by the merchant, not wanting it to fall. ”

"I heard that ......," Shi Xiu, who had not been silent, interjected, "Ri Ben plans to grow more tea trees. When we came back, there were aristocrats buying tea in the mountains. ”

Du Jinning nodded, but did not speak.

"Does the princess want to ......" Lu Jiuyuan has been with Du Jinning for a long time after all, and knows that Du Jinning's pattern is very big, and many things start from the overall situation, he substituted Du Jinning's thinking, and then thought about what Du Jinning asked just now, he could naturally guess some of Du Jinning's thoughts.

Du Jinning nodded and laughed: "What happened to the tea mountain I asked the three gentlemen to buy?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan didn't ask clearly, and Du Jinning didn't answer, but everyone is a smart person, and they know the meaning when they hear the string song, and when they hear Du Jinning ask like this, everyone understands.

Peng Shicheng said with a smile: "Thanks to the princess's reminder, I sent an experienced tea planter to guide tea planting, and I also sent a secret technique of tea making." The family's tea mountain has also made a lot of money selling tea in the past two years. ”

"yes." Lu Jiuyuan was very emotional, "The old man didn't expect to get old, not only did he become famous in Confucianism, he enjoyed enough respect in the tea ceremony, and he could also be a five-grade official, and even his family became richer and richer in terms of money." All of this is thanks to the blessing of the princess. ”

As he spoke, he straightened his shirt, stood up, and respectfully bowed to Du Jinning: "Thank you, princess, for your support." ”

Shi Xiu and Peng Shicheng also saluted.

Du Jinning turned sideways to avoid it, waved his hand and said, "Don't say that." Everything about the three gentlemen is their own efforts, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Du Jinning is humble.

Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them are not ungrateful, who doesn't know that if there is no leadership from Du Jinning, even if they have made a little fame in Confucianism, they will definitely not have the current fame, "Shengshi Famous News" has made them famous. Not to mention the tea ceremony. Without the tea ceremony, it would be impossible for them to go to Japan, let alone be given the five-rank official by Zhao Yu.

Although the three of them are not short of money, they are not particularly wealthy people, and their families are just hundreds of acres of fields handed down by their ancestors. If there was no house sent by Du Jinning, it would not be easy for them to buy a house in the capital.

Now, because of following the right person, everything fell into place, fame and fortune were gained, and the three of them were grateful to Du Jinning from the bottom of their hearts.

After the three of them sat down, Du Jinning said: "If you have money, buy some more tea mountains." It is better to make money by buying tea mountains than by buying fields. ”

"Yes, thank you princess for the mention." Lu Jiuyuan said gratefully.

When they went to Japan, they brought tea leaves with them, and they sold them there at a high price, making a lot of money.

Even if Du Jinning doesn't mention this money, they plan to buy Chashan again. However, the three of them felt that they should discuss it with Du Jinning.

Du Jinning is not only a genius of reading, a genius of farming, but also a genius of business. Looking at how much money he has made in a few years of hard work, you can completely see Du Jinning's talent for business.

And they listened to Du Jinning's words, bought Chashan, and made a lot of money in a blink of an eye.

So they believe in Du Jinning's vision.

Seeing off Lu Jiuyuan and the others, Qi Muyuan had something to do, Du Jinning saw that he had already gone to the court, so he took a car to the palace and handed over a sign to see Zhao Ming.

Zhao Yu was discussing things with a few courtiers, and when he heard that Du Jinning asked to see him, he was overjoyed, and said to the eunuch who came to deliver the message: "Hurry up, please." ”

“…… Be. The eunuch who came to report wanted to ask where Du Jinning was visited. After all, Du Jinning is a woman, and under normal circumstances, even if Zhao Yu wants to see her, he should not be in this main hall.

Fortunately, he stopped his stupid act in time.

Since the emperor didn't make a special explanation, he was here to meet him, and he needed to ask him specifically.

The people who discussed the matter were Qi Bokun and Hong Huazhong, several confidants and old ministers.

Hearing that Zhao Yu was going to summon Du Jinning, several old ministers glanced at each other and wondered whether to leave first.

Last time he was slapped in the face by Du Jinning, Hong Huazhong's face was still a little painful, he didn't want to see Du Jinning, and without waiting for the results of the discussion with others, he took the lead in proposing his farewell: "Since the eldest princess of Ning Guo has something to do, I will go to the side hall to sit down first." ”

"No, you can also listen to what Ning Guo has to say." Zhao Yu vetoed it.

As soon as Zhao Yu heard Du Jinning's request to see him, he was happy in his heart, and he guessed what Du Jinning was doing when he came over today.

He also understands Du Jinning's temperament, if it weren't for the important government affairs, Du Jinning would not have taken the initiative to ask to see him.

As for the field, he also summoned an official who went to work under Du Jinning yesterday to inquire about the progress and situation, and everything was going well there, which showed that it was not a matter of high-yield rice.

On the other hand, Du Jinning has repeatedly mentioned the relationship and exchanges between the two countries. Now that Lu Jiuyuan and the others have just returned from Ribenzen, they must have told Du Jinning about the situation over there.

In other words, Du Jinning is likely to have a new view and plan on Japanese benzene.

He wants to let these old ministers see Du Jinning's ability.

Some old ministers are loyal and capable, but they are too arrogant, and they always feel that they can't function without the world. Zhao Yu wanted them to see that Du Jinning, a young man with a broad vision and flexible thinking, was completely different from them. She can open up new avenues for the Great Song Dynasty, which is no worse than them.

Soon, Du Jinning was brought in by the eunuch.

Du Jinning gave Zhao a salute, and several old ministers, including Qi Bokun, had to salute Du Jinning.

Of course, it's all casual and doesn't need to be a big salute.

Zhao Yu gave Du Jinning a seat and asked, "The imperial sister has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. What are the good ideas for this trip? ”

Du Jinning is such a transparent person, as soon as she saw that Zhao Yu did not send these old ministers away, or summoned her in another place, she knew that Zhao Yu had guessed her intention.

She didn't beat around the bush either, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, my sister wants to propose to you to seize the tea market in Japan in time." ”

"Oh?" This time, not only Zhao Yu, but also several old ministers were interested.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Yu asked.

Du Jinning repeated what Lu Jiuyuan said, and said: "The price of Japanese benzene tea is high, and it is profitable to grow tea, so they definitely want to grow tea on a large scale." Once their tea is on the market, the market for Japanese benzene will be saturated, and there will be nothing for us. Now that there are still few people who have the idea of planting tea, let's hurry up and transport a large number of tea leaves over to reduce the price of tea. Once the price is lowered, it is found that it is not as cost-effective to plant tea as it is better to buy our Dasong tea directly, then the tea market of Japanese benzene is ours. ”

None of the people present were not human sperm, and everyone understood as soon as Du Jinning said it.

Yes, the Japanese benzene tea market is still blank, and the Great Song Dynasty transported the tea to sell it, making money from the Japanese benzene people. Now the navigation technology of the Great Song Dynasty can support them to sail farther away, and there is no risk at all in transporting tea to Japan.

How can it be cool to make money from other countries? Besides, if they can slowly penetrate into other aspects through the sale of tea, are they still afraid that Japanese benzene will not deal with the Great Song Dynasty?

Since it can encroach on the Japanese benzene tea market in this way, can the Goryeo side also concoct it according to the law?

Everyone thinks a little too much, and their thoughts drift away unconsciously.

Zhao Yu was so happy that he changed his introverted and reserved personality, and laughed out loud: "The imperial sister is really a good idea." As he spoke, he also glanced at the old ministers proudly.

At this glance, everyone was speechless.

What are you proud of? Is this your own sister? Do people have a half-penny relationship with you?

But this Du Jinning really doesn't look like a woman. Not to mention women, even those ministers in the court and the central government are not as broad-minded and flexible as her. Sure enough, he is a god who can study high-yield rice in just one or two years.

Hong Huazhong knew last time that his granddaughter and Du Jinning were different from each other, and now this feeling is even deeper.

Du Jinning just gave Zhao Yu a wake-up call, as for how to do this matter and how to do it, she didn't care, under the pretext that it would not hinder Zhao Yu from discussing their affairs, she resigned after saying this, went to the Empress Dowager Zheng to ask for peace, and went home.

She originally transferred the tea garden to Qi Muyuan, and after she returned, Qi Muyuan transferred it back to her name. This is her own dowry, if Qi Muyuan takes a concubine or the two have a conflict in the future, Du Jinning still plans to reconcile, she naturally will not give these hens that lay golden eggs to Qi Muyuan.

However, while taking back the tea garden, she also returned the silver ticket given by Qi Muyuan to him.

"You take it. What's mine is yours. Isn't it natural for a wife to be in charge of the family's money? Qi Mu said from afar.

So Du Jinning honestly and unceremoniously accepted the money. Of course, she recorded this money in the small public account of the two, which is considered the joint property of the husband and wife.

When he got home, Du Jinning called Yao Shuqi in and asked, "Have you gone to see the recovered tea mountain?" Can there be changes in personnel or something? ”

Some time ago, she was busy getting married, and then she was busy raising seedlings, after Qi Muyuan returned the tea mountain to her, she didn't have time to take a look, so she ordered Yao Shuqi to let him take a look. She planned to take stock of the affairs of Chashan and then hand it over to Zhuang Yue to manage.

"After seeing it, the personnel have not changed, and the tea trees have been well cared for." Yao Shuqi said.

Du Jinning nodded: "In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, you asked the shopkeeper Zhuang to wait on the Zhuangzi, and we went to see the tea garden together." Thinking of the vast tea market, she decided to buy some more mountain land to grow tea.
