It's April now, and in a few days it will be Gu Yu, and Zhao Yao will make new tea before Gu Yu every year.

Tea merchants, tea farmers, and literati are all waiting for this year's new tea. The so-called new tea is not this year's new tea, but a new tea that has never appeared before.

The new tea made by Zhao Yao every year is loved by literati and students, dignitaries, tea merchants and tea farmers.

A few years ago, Zhao Yao did not make new tea before the rain because he had an accident in Jinling, which made the tea merchants and tea farmers, as well as the literati and students, anxious.

The new tea made by Zhao Yao every year is very important to tea merchants, tea farmers, literati and scholars, and dignitaries, and it can be said that it is the most important thing of the year for them.

In addition to these people waiting for Zhao Yao to produce new tea, several ministers in the court are also waiting anxiously, and the most anxious of them is Dasi Nong.

Every year, the new tea that Zhao Yao makes can bring a lot of money to the imperial court, and this money will be available every year, and there will be more and more. You must know that the new teas such as Longjing, Biluochun, and black tea made by Zhao Yao before are still bringing huge income to the imperial court until now.

In the imperial study, He Xiang, Liu Taishi and Da Si Nong reported to the emperor and talked about the new tea.

"Your Majesty, where is His Royal Highness the Ten?" Da Si Nong has been looking for Zhao Yao for the past few days, but he has not seen the figure of the Tenth Highness. "This Qingming Festival is over, and it will be Gu Yu soon, why hasn't His Royal Highness made new tea yet?"

He Xiang stroked his beard and said, "The minister is also waiting for His Royal Highness Ten's new tea this year." ”

"I wonder what new tea His Highness will make this year?" Mrs. Liu is also full of expectations for Zhao Yao's new tea.

"Xiao Shi went to Changsha Mansion and said that he was looking for new tea."

When Da Si Nong heard this, his eyes suddenly sparkled, and he said with an excited expression: "Great, really good." "Hahahaha, there's going to be a lot of money coming in soon.

He Xiang asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of tea is the new tea that His Royal Highness is looking for?" ”

Taishi Liu asked with a puzzled face: "What kind of tea can be made in Changsha Mansion?" ”

"He didn't say it, he just said that he was going to Changsha Mansion to find new tea." The emperor does not know how to taste tea, and he does not like to taste tea. For him, it doesn't matter if it's tribute tea or ordinary tea. However, the new tea made by Zhao Yao is better than the previous tea. The emperor really hated the tea of the past, and it was better to drink the tea of the past than to drink the soup directly.

Although the emperor does not know how to taste tea, he still likes to drink tea, because drinking tea can refresh his mind and is a must-have for reviewing and reading folds.

Da Si Nong said with excitement on his face: "The new tea made by His Royal Highness Ten is definitely good tea, and it will definitely make money, and the minister is really looking forward to it." "The day he looks forward to the most every year is the day when His Highness Ten makes new tea.

The emperor saw through Da Si Nong's mind at a glance, and quipped him: "You are looking forward to the money brought by the new tea made by Xiao Shi." ”

Seeing through by the emperor, Da Sinong smiled awkwardly: "Every year, the new tea made by His Royal Highness Ten will bring huge income to the imperial court, and the ministers wait every year. "His Royal Highness Ten is his God of Wealth." When this year's new tea comes out, it will be sold to foreign countries, and then it will make a lot of money. ”

Seeing that Da Si Nong looked like he had fallen into the eyes of money, the emperor pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Now that the treasury is not short of money, why do you still look like a fan of money?" ”

"Your Majesty, how can anyone in this world think that there is too much money, the minister is not too much, and the minister hopes that the more money, the better." Although the money in the treasury is not Da Si Nong's, as long as Da Si Nong sees that the money in the treasury is full, he will be steadfast and happy.

I think that when the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, the treasury was empty, and there was not a single copper coin, which made Dasi Nong sad at that time. In those years, Dasi Nong couldn't sleep well every night, thinking about how to fill the treasury with money every day, and his hair fell out one by one. He's a little bald now, but the treasury has no money to worry about.

Just a few years ago, because of the emergence of new tea, the money in the treasury became more and more, and Dasi Nong slept well. However, the imperial court is also using more and more money, so he is extremely looking forward to the new tea made by His Royal Highness Ten every year.

"Your Majesty, it costs a lot of money to build the canal, and the money earned from the new tea every year can make up for the money spent on repairing the canal." Da Si Nong had a bitter face and began to sell miserably, "Your Majesty, in addition to repairing the canal, other things have also cost a lot of money, don't think that the treasury has a lot of money." "Two years ago, the emperor ordered the construction of a canal, from Quanting County in the south to Youzhou in the north.

Building a canal is a very expensive business. If it weren't for the fact that a lot of money had been made from tea in recent years, the treasury would not have had any extra money to build canals.

"I don't know how much money is in the treasury." The emperor pointed at Dasi Nong and scolded, "You are still a Pixiu, you only enter but do not leave." ”

"Your Majesty, you have finally had a little money in the past few years, you can't spend it indiscriminately." Dasi Nong doesn't want the treasury to have less money again, it's easy to spend money, it's hard to make money, fortunately, there are ten highnesses here, otherwise the treasury doesn't know when it will be filled. "I don't know how many years this canal will be built, and I don't know how much it will cost, but fortunately, there are ten highnesses to help make money, and ten highnesses are really the god of wealth in the Great Zhou."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the tea tax should be increased." Taishi Liu suddenly proposed.

"Tea tax?" The emperor asked with a puzzled face, "What are you doing with the tea tax?" ”

He Xiang supported Liu Taishi's proposal, "Your Majesty, in order to encourage the people to grow tea, the imperial court set the tea tax not high. Now that there are more and more tea plantations, tea is becoming more and more profitable, and tea merchants are getting rich one by one, it is time to raise the tea tax. ”

Dasi Nong immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's time to raise the tea tax." "The tea tax was increased, and a large amount of money came into the treasury.

The emperor didn't think of this matter, but now that he heard what Taishi Liu said, he also felt that it was time to increase the tea tax.

"How much do you think you want to add?"

"The tea tax is higher than the agricultural tax."

Regarding the increase in the tea tax, the emperor asked Dasi Nong and Liu Taishi to draw up a charter, and then discuss it in the early court.

The emperor asked them to come up with it within a few days, and they had to deal with the increase in tea tax before Zhao Yao made new tea.

The Dasi Nong moved quickly, and within two days they drew up a charter for the increase in the tea tax. After that, it was brought up in the morning.

The ministers of the family were naturally reluctant to increase the tea tax, after all, they had made a lot of money from tea in recent years. If the tea tax is raised, it will make them a lot less money.

Other ministers have supported an increase in the tea tax because tea has really become more and more profitable over the years.

After listening to the ministers' discussion for a while, the emperor issued an order to increase the tea tax.

Soon, the decree to raise the tea tax was promulgated, which caused the tea merchants to complain.

Tea merchants know in their hearts that the tea tax cannot remain unchanged forever, nor can it always be so low, but it is still difficult for them to accept the sudden increase in the tea tax. However, they don't accept it, and they have to accept it.

Zhao Yao, who was far away in Changsha Mansion, was not surprised when he learned of the increase in tea tax, after all, tea tax was one of the most important revenues of the imperial court, and it was impossible to remain unchanged.

After making new tea in Changsha Mansion, Zhao Yao returned to the capital. The new tea he made this year is called Junshan Maojian, which is as much loved and sought after by tea customers as always.

The new tea that Zhao Yao makes every year will not disappoint the tea customers, so the tea customers call him the "God of Tea".

Since Zhao Yao made Junshan Maojian, Da Sinong has been smiling every day. Except for He Xiang and a few of their henchmen, among the ministers of the DPRK and China, only Da Sinong likes it the most and is most waiting to see Zhao Yao.

For Da Si Nong, Zhao Yao is the God of Wealth of the Great Zhou. If he could, Da Si Nong really wanted to enshrine Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness the Tenth, when will you make new tea?"

"Dasi Nong, haven't I already made new tea?"

"Your Highness the Tenth, aren't you going to make another new tea before the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Da Si Nong thought that in a few months, His Highness Ten would be crowned king and go to the fief, and he had to ask His Highness Ten to make a new tea before His Highness went to the fief, so that the court could make another amount of money.

"I'm not going to do it, I've already made new tea this year, and I won't make new tea again." Zhao Yao will only make one new tea every year, and will not make more. If you make more new tea, it will become unpalatable.

Da Si Nong persuaded hard: "Your Highness, you are about to go to the fiefdom, don't you really plan to make a new tea before leaving the capital?" ”

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I don't plan to." When I go to the fiefdom, I will make new tea in two or three years in the future. ”

"What, two or three years to make new tea?" Dasi Nong was frightened by Zhao Yao's words, "Your Highness, you can't do this." ”

Zhao Yao was too lazy to deal with Da Si Nong, so he directly got rid of him and went to the imperial study.

Da Si Nong's face was earthy, and he hurriedly went to find He Xiang and them.

Zhao Yao has something important to do with the emperor, and he wants to discuss the tea tax with the emperor. In the past few years, he has earned a lot of points for the imperial court by making new tea, and he confiscated a single point. Now that the tea tax has increased, it's time for him to collect the money.

The emperor didn't expect Zhao Yao to come and ask him for tea tax, "Stinky boy, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Father, you know how much money the court has made over the years because of the new tea." Zhao Yao clasped his hands on his chest and said, "I made the new tea, and it was I who proposed to you to make the new tea a tribute tea, which made the new tea very popular, right?" ”

The Emperor said, "That's right. ”

Zhao Yao continued to ask, "Without me, there would be no new tea, right?" ”

The Emperor nodded his head and said, "That's right. ”

Zhao Yao: "Without new tea, the imperial court wouldn't have made so much money from new tea, right?" ”

Emperor: "Yes. ”

"In other words, the money that the imperial court has made from new tea over the years is all my credit, do you have no opinion?"

"Nope."

"Then shouldn't the court reward me?" Zhao Yao crossed his waist and said, "In the past few years, I haven't asked you for a penny. Now that the tea tax has risen, should I be given some money? ”

The emperor glared at Zhao Yao angrily, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, you should serve the imperial court, why are you embarrassed to ask me for money?" ”

Zhao Yao didn't bother to talk nonsense with the emperor, "If you don't share my money, from next year, I won't make new tea." "When he went to Lingnan, he would make new tea in Lingnan, and then he would not pay tribute to the new tea, and when the time came, he would sell it himself and make money by himself.

The emperor stood up, pointed at Zhao Yao angrily, and said in disbelief: "Stinky boy, you threaten me? ”

"Yes, it's a threat to you, if you don't share my money, I won't make new tea, so that the court can no longer make money from new tea." Zhao Yao is not afraid of the emperor, "You'd better think clearly." ”

"Stinky boy, you ......" The emperor walked up to Zhao Yao angrily, and raised his hand to knock his youngest son's head, but Zhao Yao dodged him.

"I'll tell you, it's not negotiable."

The emperor chased after Zhao Yao: "Stinky boy, you are really becoming more and more bold now, and you dare to threaten your Lao Tzu." ”

"I deserve it." Zhao Yao ran while avoiding the emperor's beating, "It's you who don't want to give me money." ”

"Are you short of money, what do you want so much money for?" As far as the emperor knew, Zhao Yao was not only not short of money, but also very rich.

"I'm going to Lingnan soon, and I have to spend money on a lot of things to do, but I don't have that much money."

"Stinky boy, don't think that I don't know that you have made a lot of money in business over the years, you are not short of money, and you should be called poor in front of me."

"I've made a lot of money, but it's not enough." Zhao Yao was not surprised that the emperor knew that he was doing business to make money, "You should know what kind of bird Lingnan is." I have to go to Lingnan to do so much, and I need to spend a lot of money, and the money I am making now is not enough. ”

"You don't lie to me." The emperor ran for a while, tired and panting.

"That's also the money I made by my own ability, and it has nothing to do with you." Zhao Yao snorted coldly, "I'm not discussing with you, if you don't give me money, I won't make new tea." ”

"You ......," the Emperor staggered in anger and fell into his chair. He clutched his chest, and pointed at Zhao Yao with a painful and angry expression, "Stinky boy, you ......"

Sun Kui was frightened by the emperor's appearance, and hurriedly walked over, reaching out to pat the emperor's chest to calm down.

"Your Highness the Tenth, hurry up and call the Imperial Doctor."

"The acting is good." Zhao Yao is not the emperor.

"You ......" The emperor looked like he was about to die of anger, and Sun Kui was so frightened that he screamed at Sun Doudou.

"If you pretend again, I'll call my mother."

When the emperor heard this, his heart no longer hurt, his face no longer painful, and he instantly returned to normal.

Sun Kui and Sun Doudou: "......"

Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at the emperor, and said in a weird manner: "Okay, really fast, it's really a medical miracle, it opened my eyes." ”

Sun Kui: His Royal Highness is still wise, and he can see through the emperor acting at a glance.

Sun Doudou quietly retreated, and he didn't see anything.

"Stinky boy, I am your father."

Zhao Yao looked like he didn't eat oil and salt: "Even if you are the Jade Emperor, it is useless, if you give me the money from the tea tax, I will not make new tea." ”

The emperor had no choice but to agree to his youngest son.

"Okay, okay, divide your money, how much do you want?"

Zhao Yao stretched out three fingers: "Three layers." ”

The emperor was so angry that he scolded: "Stinky boy, why don't you go and rob it." ”

"I didn't score five or five with you, it's already very good. You're so scared of more than three layers. Zhao Yao thought to himself that his father was indeed a black-hearted emperor, "If you don't agree, I will really share five points with you." ”

The emperor was extremely angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you three layers." ”

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, saw the emperor's gritted teeth, and sighed in his heart: The emperor's acting skills are really getting better and better!

His Royal Highness Unceremoniously asked the emperor for money, and the emperor was obviously very happy in his heart, but he pretended to be angry, which was really ...... In the words of His Highness the Ten, the drama spirit!

Keep asking for tickets!
