259. The future is the beginning

August 19.

As usual, just after the end of the day, Zhao Mengqi opened his eyes.

Since his assassination, he has stopped his morning exercises, which has always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Sitting up, he naturally made some noise.

Then a soft inquiry came from Koma, "Your Highness, are you awake?"

In the past, Zhao Mengqi's diet and daily life were generally served by Qian Duo.

Now she is recuperating from her injuries, but Zhao Mengqi will not lack other maids, but Qian Duo seems to regard the post of serving Zhao Mengqi as a forbidden and unwilling to hand it over to others, so he sent his personal maid Qingyu to the top.

As the personal maid of the personal maid, Qing Yu was still very nervous at first, because not only to serve the king of Yan well, without the slightest mistake, but also to pay attention to proportion, not out of line, after all, the personal maid often has to be really close, without any barrier.

It's not that Qing Yu is unwilling, it's just that she is afraid that Qian Duo will mind.

Obviously, she was worried in vain.

If you talk about posture, Qingyu naturally belongs to the first class, but unfortunately Zhao Mengqi can keep the bottom line against Qian Duo, so he won't do anything to her.

The reason why Zhao Mengqi is not as good as a beast may be because he feels that this body is still too young, and if he indulges, he may lose his life......

"Well, light a lamp first." Zhao Mengqi touched the front wound through his clothes.

Qing Yu came in with a lampstand.

Zhao Mengqi untied Bai Luo's middle single, "Come closer..."

What?

Seeing that Zhao Mengqi was undressing and asked her to come closer, Qing Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and her heart was a little flustered......

Heck, I heard that men are very strong when they wake up in the morning, so I really want to do that.

Your Highness, do you want to do that with me?

Should I resist it?

This is a loss of duty, but it doesn't resist, and it doesn't seem to be a duty.

Alas, don't blame me, lady, Your Highness has to do whatever you want, and Qingyu can't help it.

The rich inner drama flashed by, and Qing Yu was shy and timid, "Please... Please have mercy on Your Highness......

What's that?

Zhao Mengqi raised his head in surprise, only to see that under the light of the lights, a delicate face was red and cloudy, and there was a trace of greenness wrapped in the beautiful food, and he looked like he was picking up.

Is there some misunderstanding about this little girl?

Is brother the kind of casual person?

Zhao Mengqi couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't want to embarrass the little girl too much, so he had to say casually, "I'm asking you to bring the lamp closer."

As he spoke, he removed Bai Luo's middle single, revealing his sturdy upper body, and began to untie the linen wrapped around his chest.

"Ah, it turns out that His Highness wants to change the medicine?"

Qing Yu was ashamed, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he was faintly a little lost.

"No dressing, just a look at the wound." Zhao Mengqi deliberately didn't look at her, and took care of untying all the sackcloth.

As far as the lights were lit, the shape of the wound looked a little hideous, but it had healed, and the new flesh was like a pimple, pink and tender.

Qing Yu said happily, "It's good so soon!? Your Highness is really as strong as an ox and gifted......

Zhao Mengqi didn't bother to care about the ambiguity in his words, "Wash and change clothes for me."

After examining the wound and feeling that there was no problem, Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but exercise, and played a long fist in the courtyard for more than an hour, feeling refreshed.

In his previous life, he was a cat, and he often lived days when day and night were reversed, and he didn't eat breakfast a few times, let alone do any morning exercises.

After arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, he became self-disciplined in his work and rest, and after a long time, everything became a habit.

After practicing, I took a cold shower, and when it was time for breakfast, I went to the yard of the little ladies.

In the courtyard, there is a huge square table, the maids are arranging all kinds of tableware to eat up, Wanwan is cooking tea on the small table on the side, Zhao Hui is helping her to learn tea art by the way.

Zhao Yan squatted on the edge of the flower bed, poking the ant nest with a small stick, Xiaobai didn't know where to go, only Xiaohei

Sticking out its long tongue to the side, when Zhao Yan raised the small stick crawling with ants, it immediately rolled its tongue, and dozens of living beings were buried in its belly.

Seeing Zhao Mengqi coming in, Zhao Yan immediately threw away the small stick and ran over.

"Fourth brother, why are you late today, I still want to call you."

Zhao Mengqi couldn't help pinching her somewhat baby fat face, "Didn't you say it, eat first when you're hungry, you don't have to wait for me."

"The fourth brother is not here, and the food is not fragrant." Zhao Yun hugged his brother's hand and playfully swinged.

Zhao Mengqi deliberately raised his hand to act as a qualified swing frame, "Haha, I don't believe it, the yellow-haired girls in the past are now eating into little fat dun, and if you go down, I won't be able to hold you."

When they came to the generous table, the brother and sister sat down, and Wanwan also sent the ordered tea and soup over.

"This is sent by Xie Xiang, Jianzhou's new tea this year, I look very good, you taste it."

Zhao Mengqi can taste something, just when he is thirsty, he drinks it dry, "It's good, but loose tea is more suitable for my taste."

Seeing that the tea soup he had carefully cooked was like Zhao Mengqi chewing a peony, he was not annoyed and chuckled.

"These days, I have been studying the method of making tea by roasting green tea you said, compared to steaming green, the tea produced is more fragrant, less astringent, and fresher, but maybe because of the season, I always feel a little worse, and I am afraid that I will be disgusted by people who have good tea."

At this time, the tea can be roughly divided into cake tea and loose tea, the production process of cake tea is complex, the price is high, only the rich and noble can afford to drink, and the loose tea greatly simplifies the process, which is used by ordinary people every day, but both are steamed green.

No matter what kind of tea is made, the first step after the tea is picked is to kill, at this time it is mainly steamed, and it is also used for baking and drying, and fried green has not yet appeared.

The famous tea Biluochun of later generations is produced on Dongting Island in Taihu Lake, before Zhao Mengqi stayed on Dongting Island for a while, saw the wild tea on the island, and remembered this time, and then let Wanwan try to make it.

Wanwan is also very powerful, with Zhao Mengqi's superficial description in a few words, with hundreds of little girls, it took nearly a month, and they were stunned to come up with a set of processes, and it was because of this that they postponed coming to Pingjiang for so many days.

The loose tea given to the people of Pingjiang before is the product they tested, and it may be no different from leaves in the eyes of the rich and noble, but ordinary people are not so particular, not to mention that they can drink it with boiling water, which is really trouble-free and money-saving.

"That's natural, the quality of tea is still the best before the Qingming Festival, July and August are too old, anyway, now you are also practicing, it doesn't matter if you don't sell it, it's a big deal to continue to give it to the people."

"Tuancha is too labor-intensive and time-consuming, and then loses the original tea aroma, and then adds other spices, pounds into fine pieces, and takes time and effort to cook, in fact, it has lost its true taste...... Uh, I'm not saying that the art of tea is not good, or it's not very suitable for the general public, I think that roasted tea takes the essence of the first sprout, and draws the spring to brew and drink, and it will definitely be able to open the sect of tea for the ages.

Zhao Mengqi said that he smacked his mouth, and actually dared to criticize Wanwan's proudest tea art, but fortunately, he woke up in time and was busy remedy.

Wanwan covered her mouth and smiled, and glared at Zhao Mengqi with disgust, "What's not inferior to Lu Yu, and if you spread it, you won't let people laugh at the concubine to death?"

Lu Yu is not an ordinary person, before him, tea is mainly used as a medicinal material, it is his contribution that makes tea the main drink of the Chinese people, in the tea ceremony, he is known as the tea fairy, respected as the tea saint, worshiped as the god of tea, the status of the trinity is unshakable.

Then Wanwan said, "The concubine is not a stubborn and old-fashioned person, and naturally understands the beauty of roasting tea, so that it is also the wish of the concubine to benefit the world."

"I plan to set up a tea company to organize the wild tea in Dongting, transplant and breed it, establish tea gardens and tea workshops, and industrialize them...... This tea company will be handed over to you to take care of, and it can also house those orphans in the Fenghua army."

Zhao Mengqi took advantage of this opportunity to tell Wanwan about his original plan.

"Do you want to set up a company for this?" Wanwan was puzzled and felt that there was no need for this.

Zhao Mengqi said with a smile, "My goal is not just the tea on Dongting Island, but all over the world, and in the future, it is also a good place to grow tea......

After hearing this, Wanwan also wanted to try, so she agreed, and then thought of something, "Fenghuajun is now relying on fishing, and life is much better, everyone is quite satisfied, but I don't know if you plan to let them all turn into civil citizenship?"

"Huh? Not really, it's also expedient for them all to fish, in fact, I plan to let Fenghuajun set up a logistics company with some people."

Wanwan's eyes flashed with puzzlement, "Logistics company?"

"Logistics, is the meaning of the flow of goods, the current grain is transported by the box army, not only makes these box army difficult, but also has too many shortcomings, so I plan to change to commercial operation, in the future, as long as the imperial court pays the freight, there is no need to worry about the transportation process, and the logistics company can also make a profit and feed its employees, but this logistics company is equivalent to mastering the blood of the imperial court, so it can't be given to others casually, so I plan to use the Fenghua army as the backbone of the formation."

"In the early days, it was mainly water transportation, including rivers, lakes and seas, and then gradually perfected, and the land transportation was also perfected, and a system of circulation was established to the world, not only to make an item reach any corner of the Great Song Dynasty through a logistics company, but even to every place overseas, so that it can also provide a huge boost to the logistics of the army."

"The fishing industry has also started now, so naturally we can't lose it, and we should set up a fishing company on the right track."

"In addition, the Fenghua Army has a long tradition of water warfare, and the morale of the military discipline is very good in all aspects, which cannot be wasted, so I also plan to use them as the backbone to rebuild a naval division."

"As for how to choose, it's all up to your own wishes, and it doesn't matter if you even want to farm, just take out a grange to settle in the future, by the way, except for the army, other companies are taken care of by you, so you will have to be busy in the future."

In order to settle the Fenghua army, Zhao Mengqi took a lot of effort to take out a fishing company, a tea company, a logistics company, and retained the army part.

There are practical considerations in this, but it must also be because of Wanwan.

Wanwan has always been indifferent, and at this time she was also so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"If the sailor retains the Fenghua military name, these companies can no longer use this name, so what should they be called? …… Ginger, in the future? It sounds a little awkward, hey, yes, let's call it the future company, the future is like the beginning, hehe......

In the midst of Zhao Mengqi's laughter, the future consortium whose influence on the world is second only to the Great Song Dynasty Royal Foundation was born.
