Tonight's Jinling River is very lively, and there are many boats of all sizes. One of these ships was lavishly decorated, with a number of guards with knives or swords.

There are no other ships in the vicinity of this ship. No one in the entire city of Jinling dared to approach the ship.

This ship is different from nearby ships. The nearby boats are very lively, with drums, laughter, and singing...... The ship, on the other hand, was so quiet that it seemed a little out of place.

Suddenly, a small boat approached the ship.

Zhao Yao got off the small boat and immediately swaggered onto the big boat.

The guards on the big ship stopped Zhao Yao and said that they wanted to check if they had any weapons. Tong Xi was angry, ready to reason with them, Zhao Yao raised his hand to stop him.

Seeing that Zhao Yao and the others did not bring weapons, the guards let them pass. One of the guards led them up to the deck.

When Li Daohe saw Zhao Yao coming, he didn't get up and salute.

Tong Xi was very angry when he saw Li Wei treating Zhao Yao so rudely, and he was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Zhao Yao with a look.

Li Wei glanced at Zhao Yao, casually pointed to the opposite side, and said to him, "Ten princes, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Yao walked over and sat down opposite Li Wei. In front of him was a low table with some food, snacks, delicatessen, appetizers, and bottles of wine.

Li Wei pointed to a few pots of wine in front of Zhao Yao and introduced him to him: "This is the famous drunken dream immortal in Jinling City, Your Highness Ten can taste it." ”

Zhao Yao opened the wine, lowered his head and smelled it, and the mellow aroma of wine came to his nose. He praised sincerely: "Just by smelling the wine, you know that it is good wine, but I don't drink, so I can only live up to Brother Qiao's kindness." ”

Li Wei raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at Zhao Yao with a smile: "Your Highness the Tenth, are you afraid that I will poison the wine?" ”

Zhao Yao smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not, I just don't like to drink." ”

Li Wei glanced at Zhao Yao up and down, and his tone was joking: "His Royal Highness the Tenth has not dried up, and it is normal not to like to drink." ”

was said that the milk smell was not dry, Zhao Yao was not angry at all, because what Li Wei said was very right, he was not yet an adult, didn't he just smell milk and not dried up.

Li Dao said again: "If Your Highness Ten is not at ease, I can take a sip of your wine first." ”

"Brother Qiao, even if you poison the wine, I'm not afraid." Zhao Yao is really not afraid of poisoning in wine, he really just doesn't like to drink. "Even if you put a crane top red in this wine, I won't die if I drink it, that's why I was able to escape under your nose in the first place." The last sentence was said deliberately, in order to be angry.

Li Dao listened, although there was no reaction on his face, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Is His Highness the Tenth invincible?"

"Pretty much." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "I don't like to drink, can you bring a cup of tea?" ”

Li Wei glanced at the guards standing aside, and the guards immediately understood. Soon, the guard brought a cup of tea.

Zhao Yao lowered his head, took two sips, and immediately asked, "This is this year's Longjing before the rain, right?" ”

Li Wei didn't expect Zhao Yao to be able to drink the dragon well before the rain, which was a bit surprising to him. In his opinion, His Highness Ten does not look like a person who understands tea.

"Ten Highnesses, good tongues."

Tongxi, who was standing beside Zhao Yao, let out a sneer. He looked at Li Dao with mocking eyes, and sneered: "There is no one in this world who knows the Longjing before the rain better than my Royal Highness, this Longjing tea is made by my Royal Highness, and my Royal Highness said that the Longjing tea before the rain is the best, so there is Longjing before the rain." ”

Speaking of Longjing before the rain, I have to mention Zhao Yao's contribution to the tea of the Great Zhou.

Zhao Yao took the lead in making tea and drinking, and in the past, people in the world drank tea or tea soup. Zhao Yao couldn't drink some tea, and then he got the tea that Zhao Yao drank in the world in his dream.

Over the years, under his admiration, a lot of good tea has emerged from all over the country. Before the rain, this Longjing was specially made by Zhao Yao, and then "became famous overnight".

Li Dao had never heard of such a thing, and his face showed a slight surprise. He then listened to Tongxi and said proudly: "Not only Longjing tea, but also your Jiangnan Biluochun, Qimen black tea, Lu'an melon slices, Huangshan Maofeng and other teas are all made by my Royal Highness. Of course, there are also other places where Tieguanyin and Pu'er tea are too. ”

Tongxi continued with pride on his face: "Making tea and drinking is a new drinking method made by His Royal Highness, do you think my Royal Highness can drink the Longjing before the rain?" "This Li Dao is really annoying. He thought he knew about tea, but he didn't know that the tea he was drinking now was made by His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness said that the new tea was really a hatchet.

Li Dao's face rarely showed an obvious look of shock. He knew that the way to drink tea came from the palace, but he didn't expect it to be made by His Royal Highness the Tenth.

"The good tea and famous tea you are drinking now are all made by my Royal Highness, and they are also ordered by my Royal Highness." In the matter of drinking tea, no one can compare to His Royal Highness. "You said that His Royal Highness doesn't understand the tea ......"

Zhao Yao interrupted Tongxi's show-off, "Tongxi, keep a low profile." ”

Tongxi obediently closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.

"Your Highness the Ten, it's disrespectful." Li Wei didn't expect that the way they drink tea now, as well as the good tea and famous tea they often drink, were made by Zhao Yao.

"Brother Qiao, if you want to discuss tea with me, I can talk to you for a word or two." When it comes to tea, he still has a bit of a say. The famous teas that Tongxi just said were all set by him, and these places have to enter the palace every year to bring these good teas to the imperial court.

Speaking of tea, I have to mention another thing. The tea farmers are grateful to Zhao Yao, and the tea merchants regard Zhao Yao as the "God of Wealth", and they look forward to Zhao Yao making new tea every year.

Before Zhao Yao came up with a new way of drinking tea and new tea, tea was not as popular as it is now. In the past, most people drank tea, and a small number of people drank tea as soup and put salt or other things in the tea.

Also, tea is basically drunk by officials, but ordinary people drink very little. The common people don't like to drink tea very much, they drink tea as medicine, and they don't drink tea until they have to.

In fact, many dignitaries and nobles don't like to drink tea, but if they don't drink tea, they seem to have no identity, so they can only drink it hard.

After Zhao Yao came up with a new way of drinking tea and new tea, both famous families and ordinary people fell in love with tea. They didn't expect tea to taste so good in a new way.

After coming up with a new way to drink tea, Zhao Yao wanted to get out the famous tea of Zhao Yao in the world in his dream. This has made many places famous for tea. In many places, ordinary people began to grow tea on a large scale, which greatly increased their income.

Of course, the emergence of new tea also made the imperial court a lot of money. Zhao Yao's new tea is very popular in foreign countries, and the tea sold to foreign countries every year can bring wealth to the imperial court.

The new tea has fed many people and turned many people into wealthy businessmen. In addition to bringing money to the people of the Great Zhou, tea also brought health to the people of the Great Zhou.

Once upon a time, tea was a medicinal herb that could cure some ailments. However, the previous way of drinking tea has destroyed the effect of tea. The new way of drinking tea, most of which retains the effect of tea.

Not to mention the other effects of tea, the effect of refreshing is liked by many people. The literati Yake originally liked to eat tea, and after the emergence of new ways of drinking tea, they loved tea even more.

The emergence of new tea not only allowed tea farmers to make money, but also made porcelain makers to make money.

In the past, tea bowls or tea cups were used to drink tea, but tea bowls were not used. After Zhao Yao came up with a new way to drink tea, he got the tea bowl out by the way.

The appearance of the tea bowl brought a lot of money to the people who made porcelain in the Great Zhou. Now, there are all kinds of tea bowls in Dazhou, and each set is very delicate and beautiful. Tea bowls were sold along with tea to foreign countries.

He Xiang once said to the emperor that without mentioning the things such as the quyuan plow, saddle and printing technology that Zhao Yao had made before, he would mention new tea and tea bowls, and His Royal Highness the Ten would bring unexpected money to the Great Zhou.

Over the years, the treasury of the Great Zhou has been able to become rich rapidly, and His Royal Highness Ten has accounted for half of the credit.

It's a pity that the ministers of the court and the central government didn't take these things to heart when Zhao Yao did, and they still felt that he was a useless prince.

When it comes to tea, there are a few more things to say.

In order to make tea more profitable, tea merchants hold tea fighting conferences every two years, which are very grand and lively, and are very popular with literati and ordinary people.

The tea fighting conference is mainly to test the quality of tea in various places, as well as the way and output of tea. Not only that, but they also let the tea farmers research and grow new teas, and let the tea farmers make new teas.

Because of tea, Zhao Yao has a very high status in the hearts of tea merchants and tea farmers. In addition to treating Zhao Yao as the God of Wealth, there are many people in many places who regard him as the "God of Tea".

Li Dao likes to drink tea on weekdays. Before the advent of new tea, he didn't like to drink tea very much.

He didn't expect that the new tea was made by Zhao Yao, so he chatted with Zhao Yao about the new tea.

No one knows the new tea better than Zhao Yao. Speaking of new tea, Zhao Yao said that the head is the Tao, which made Li Wei gain a lot of knowledge.

Just listening to Zhao Yao talk about new tea, you can find that he is not the legendary stupid prince.

Although the Li family is a salt gang, they are also in the tea business. Although the profit of the tea business is not as large as that of salt, it is not a lot. No matter who you are, you don't have to worry about the lack of money.

"There is no new tea in the capital this year, is it because His Highness has not come up with new tea?" Every year, new tea comes out of the capital, to be precise, from the palace. No new tea has come out of the palace this year, and tea merchants and tea farmers everywhere are anxiously waiting.

"I don't have anything to think about this year." Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "With so many things happening this year, how can I have the time to think of new tea." "He was going to Yangzhou and was thinking about a new tea. It's just that he hasn't gone to Yangzhou yet, so he hasn't thought about it for the time being.

"Isn't Your Highness free now, you can think about this year's new tea."

"Brother Qiao, I have to be busy dealing with you now, how can I have the time to think of new tea." Zhao Yao propped his chin and looked at Li Wei with interest, "Brother Qiao, you didn't invite me here to invite me to drink, nor to talk to me about tea." ”

chatting about tea, Li Dao almost forgot about business.

"Your Highness, I have now discovered your value."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he pretended to be surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Qiao, you don't kill me?" ”

Li Dao smiled: "That's right, I don't plan to kill you." ”

Zhao Yao pretended to be flattered: "Just because I can make new tea?" ”

Li Wei bowed his head lightly, and said to Zhao Yao in a tone full of charity: "That's right." ”

"Then I want to thank you for not killing?"

"Nature."

"Hahaha......" Zhao Yao suddenly laughed, and then fell on the table with a smile, unable to straighten his waist.

Li Wei looked coldly at Zhao Yao, who couldn't stop laughing: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhao Yao's tears came out. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Li Dao funny: "Brother Qiao, who gave you the confidence to think that you can kill me?" ”

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled playfully: "You think I can't kill you?" ”

"I can't kill it." Zhao Yao said very firmly, "On the contrary, I can kill you." ”

"Can you kill me?" After hearing this, Li Wei thought it was too funny, and unconsciously let out a mockery. "Your Highness the Tenth, who gave you the confidence to think that you could kill me?"

"Myself." Zhao Yao winked at Li Dao, "Brother Qiao, if you don't believe it, you can try it and see if you control my life in the end, or I will take your life." (End of chapter)
