Shen Mu deliberately embarrassed him, wanting to see if this person really had real talent and learning, so he said: "This meeting, all the people who came were literati and scholars, and students of the academy. Everyone meets friends with texts and shows their powers. If I want to drink, I have to know if Brother Sun has ink in his belly. ”

Sun Yike knew that Shen Mu was speechless, and he was confident, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Please ask Brother Shen to ask for the question......"

Shen Mu said: "It is already white tea, and it is limited to seven steps." If Shen Mu takes seven steps, Brother Sun can make a good sentence, and you can drink this wine with you!

Sun Yike pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Okay......!

Shen Mu learned the scene of Cao Zijian's seven-step poem, gently raised his foot and took a step, looked back, and saw Sun Yike pinching his beard and pondering, so he shouted loudly: "One ......" and said again: "Two ...... Three ......"

When more than a dozen people nearby heard that Sun Yike wanted to "turn poetry into a poem in seven steps", they had already put down the brush in their hands and came over to see the excitement.

I only heard Shen Mu say again: "Fourth...... Brother Sun, I've been gone for more than half of this...... Five......"

"Wait...... Pregnant... Pregnant...

A coat, a pot of water, a pot of water, green eagle buds in February among the clouds.

There is no good taste in the mountains, and the hospitality is chic with seven bowls of tea.

The paradise is drunk like wine, and the spring breeze cuts the peach blossoms.

Leng Ran sipped annoyed, wanting to resist the wind and make Zixia. ”

Sun Yike groaned, handed over the wine gourd another point, and continued: "Brother Shen, it's full of ......."

Shen Mu was taken aback, he had only walked five steps, and this person actually came to a seven-word quatrain, this quatrain sounded catchy, flat rhyme, especially the last sentence "I want to resist the wind and make Zixia" but it was also a taste of Li Taibai!

The students in the audience couldn't help but applaud in unison and shouted "good"!

Shen Mu took the wine gourd, handed it to Zong Ming behind him, and said, "Fill it for Brother Sun!" and then hugged his fists at Sun Yike and said, "Brother Sun, good article...... Under admiration admiration ......"

Sun Yike said: "You're polite, the wine is ......"

Zong Ming handed over a wine gourd filled with "peach blossom drunk", Sun Yike took the wine gourd and poured it with his head up, and kept saying: "It's enjoyable, haha...... Good wine wow......"

While talking, he didn't care about Shen Mu and the others, found a clean peach blossom tree, sat down against it, and continued to drink.

Shen Mu smiled slightly, and was even more impressed by this person. With his literary talent, he can't come out on top, and he should also enter the top three.

The next day, the students swayed their thoughts wantonly, and hundreds of people gathered in the peach blossom forest, which was very lively.

Between the peach forests, the spring breeze is proud, and such a beautiful scenery is a good season to compose poems and sentences.

Some people put pen to paper, some meditate with the tip of the pen, and some discuss how to write more smoothly.

The masters of the various academies were not idle, communicating with each other, drinking and talking, or playing chessboard games, or traveling together in the hundred miles of peach forest.

It's been a long time since the Xishan Road literary community has had such a happy gathering.

In the evening, Shen Mu made delicious dishes, and everyone sat on the ground and sang indulgently.

In the evening of the next day, the students presented their essays one by one. The masters of the academy were divided into five teams according to the state and county, and each drew lots.

After the ten graders were selected, they took hundreds of articles and went into the special hut to start grading with candles.

On the day of the release of the list, Shen Mu personally invited Zhu Biao, the director of the Zhicha Bureau, and many tea merchants in Xingzhai Town to unveil the list.

Zhu Biao thought that he would have to deal with the eight-nation merchant group soon, so he didn't want to come. However, Shen Mu said that this conference was based on the theme of white tea, and as the main event of the Tea Bureau, it was still necessary to come to such a grand event.

Once you come, you can show your majesty in front of the students, and if these students enter the career in the future, they will also have a name for moving around. Second, the articles of the selected students were submitted to the imperial court, and when the imperial court saw so many students in the world singing about white tea, it would naturally praise the Tea Bureau.

This kind of beneficial and harmless thing, Zhu Biao will not be unmoved. It will take more than ten days for the missions of the eight countries to arrive, and if the subordinates are familiar with the preparations, why not pick up the cheap here by themselves?

As for those tea merchants, Shen Mu invited them to increase their momentum, and through their mouths, the reputation of the white tea festival was spread farther and more violently.

Since Zhu Biao came, he couldn't help but climb the high platform and said for a while. The words are nothing more than hard work and the words of the students, with Zhu Biao's "opening the list". Ma Linzi and Zong Ming opened the announcement of the ranking list left and right.

All the students will come up to find out if there is their name on the red list!

Shen Mu didn't care about the red list, his goal was basically achieved now, and he was happy in his heart, but he just had a simple exchange with the businessmen and the students.

Zhou Fuzi took the stage and asked if anyone had any objections to the flower list, and after no one responded, he put the top three on the list on the high platform, and Zhu Biao issued a silver reward for the top three.

The people of Hengda Academy are not among the top three, and Master Zhou doesn't mind, and he is already satisfied to be able to communicate with so many academies in Xishan Dao in the past few days.

After a period of busy work, the crowd gradually dispersed. The people who received the money were more than happy, and those who were not on the list were also in good spirits, and some of them were still unsatisfied, so they continued to play along the peach forest in pairs......

Shen Mu and Guo Wenyuan sent Zhou Fuzi away, and the matter of copying Yaji was handed over to Guo Wenyuan.

Shen Mu promised that in two months, he would ask someone to print a booklet, and each academy would get a copy, and if an individual came to attend the meeting, leaving his address and name, Yaji would also send it to the house on a later day.

Zhu Biao waited for the students to disperse before he walked up to Shen Mu and coughed dryly: "This is Boss Shen's way to increase the price of white tea?"

Shen Mu said respectfully: "Shen Mu first thanked Lord Zhu for taking time out of his busy schedule to assist Shen in this matter. ”

Zhu Biao said: "Everyone works together for the Tea Bureau, and Boss Shen doesn't have to be polite." He thought about Shen Mu's promise, and was a little more polite when he spoke to Shen Mu.

Shen Mu said: "Today's literary conference will not be to build momentum for white tea. Although Xingzhai white tea is quite famous, it lacks the verses that the world has praised it. At this time, hundreds of students can always pick out one or two good sentences that can be remembered by future generations. In this way, it does not take much energy, and it will make the reader want to try the taste of this white tea. ”

Zhu Biao said: "Boss Shen is really a rare talent! It's just that from the official's point of view, Boss Shen has not spent less money this time." ”

Shen Mu smiled, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the era in which he lives. If most products want to be launched on the market, the first thing to do is to build momentum. Advertising, Weibo, celebrity endorsements, etc. In this world, if you want to advertise and spread the word, the literati's pen is the best way.

It is understandable to spend money to buy word-of-mouth and promote the market of products.

Shen Mu changed the topic and said, "Lord Zhu, when is the Eight Kingdoms Merchant Mission expected to arrive in Xingzhai?"

Zhu Biao said: "Counting the time, it should be almost there." ”

Shen Mu said: "In this way, Shen will arrange it first, and return to Xingzhai with Master Zhu!"

Zhu Biao said hello and went with his entourage to communicate with those merchants.

Shen Mu first asked Guo Wenyuan to take the article to compile it into a book as soon as possible, and asked Zong Ming to clean up and restore this place, so as not to cause inconvenience to fruit farmers. If there is any damage, it will be compensated according to the price!

Just as he was about to turn away, he heard someone calling him.

Shen Mu looked back and saw that it was Sun Xuexue, he wanted to send someone to find Sun Yike later, but this person sent it to the door by himself.

Shen Mu said: "Brother Sun, what are you calling me for?"

Sun Yike shook the wine gourd and burped...... said: "Brother Shen's peach blossom drunk, can you leave some for me?"

Shen Mu said: "Brother Sun likes to drink?"

Sun Yike said: "Who doesn't love such a beautiful wine?"

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Since Brother Sun likes to drink, there is a lot of wine in my house, Brother Sun might as well go down the mountain with me." This wine Shen must be enough......"

Sun Yike was slightly drunk, his eyes were hazy, and he said, "Is it another exchange of text for wine?"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "With Brother Sun's talent, Shen thinks it's not necessary......

Sun Yike said: "That's very good...... So good!"

Shen Mu didn't know what he meant by this, but this person was unwilling to sell his talents in exchange for wine. Shen Mu thought to himself: This Sun Yi is a somewhat learned person, he is often running around, if he assists Duan Dangjia again, then he will no longer have to worry about the fire in the backyard.

Shen Mu said: "Now that Shen is going to Xingzhai Town, is Brother Sun willing to go with me?"

Sun Yike said: "As long as you take care of the wine, you can go anywhere." ”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Let's go...... Wine, what I have here is!"

Because of the upcoming Eight Nations Chamber of Commerce and tea merchants from all over the country, the guest rooms in Xingzhai County were almost full, but fortunately, Shen Mu had already chartered an inn, so that he and the people of Yiqimen did not have to sleep on the streets.

Zhu Biao originally wanted to invite Shen Mu to stay at the post station, knowing that the Tea Bureau had a special place to entertain the missions of the Eight Nations, and it was relatively convenient for Shen Mu to live there. But was rejected by Shen Muwan.

First, he didn't want to have early contact with the eight-nation business group, and second, he wanted his identity to be a staff member of the Tea Bureau. Third, he can allocate resources more conveniently

Shen Mu took advantage of the time when the Eight Nations Business Group had not yet arrived, stepped up the printing of Yaji, found a few workshops that made jewelry, and made many gift boxes, and then ran into the Red Mansion in Xingzhai County for a day, as for what to do, no one knows.

was a little complained by Ma Linzi that Shen Mu didn't take him to the Red Mansion, and then he was stared at by Shen Mu's terrible eyes and didn't dare to open his mouth to speak!

The merchant envoys of the Eight Kingdoms, under the escort of the officials and soldiers of Murong Mansion, entered the city in a mighty and domineering manner.

In order to show its attention, the imperial court sent the Duke Qiu of the Internal Affairs Office to support him, and even passed the documents to the Zhennan Palace, so as to ensure that the merchants of the Eight Kingdoms were thorough.

The Tea Bureau had already emptied the avenues along the street. The people of Xingzhai County have long been accustomed to this annual ban on the city, closed the door early, stood on both sides of the road along the street, and joined in the excitement.

In their eyes, the Legation of the Eight Nations is like a monkey playing monkey on the street, which one is good-looking, which one is mighty, and which one is interesting...... All of them can be sung for ten days and a half months.

Anyway, it is not a busy agricultural season, and there are more than ten days to pick tea, and the visit of the eight countries has become a unique celebration day in Xingzhai County for a hundred years.

Young and old, children, women and children, stood on both sides of the street. It was the pain of those officers and soldiers who maintained order, armed with spears, lined up in battle, and drove the crowd back desperately!
