Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 11
Lord Changping thought it was water, so he drank the bronze jue in one gulp.

bitter!
Mr. Changping's face was embarrassing, he curled his mouth, and roared: "Your Majesty, isn't the water poisonous?"

After all, Chang Wenjun glanced at Xi.

Xi was frightened again, knelt on the ground tremblingly and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I didn't prepare the water!"

Seeing Chang Wenjun's nonsense, Qin Wangzheng slapped the table and said: "The lonely king made it specially for Mr.! Why can't I be poisoned?"

Lord Changping suddenly felt out of composure, cupped his hands and said, "I dare not!"

Mr. Changping slowly sat on the 'seat' made of silk, and said lightly: "This tea is very bitter, it is really hard to swallow."

"But after a careful aftertaste, there is a bit of sweetness, like water but not water, like wine but not wine, I don't know what this thing is?"

Qin Wangzheng was taken aback.

This thing is that Qin Wangzheng hasn't thought of a name yet, but since it means that after all hardships, happiness comes, it might as well be called "After all hardships, happiness comes".

Mr. Changping heard that all the hardships and rewards come, and the thing is as its name suggests, it is really a treasure.

So, Lord Changping became more and more curious, where did Qin Wangzheng get this treasure?

The corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth couldn't help a smile: "In yesterday's dream, I dreamed of a white-haired old man. He said that my bones were amazing and I was a genius, so he gave this thing to me!"

Lord Changping stood up and held up his hands, boasting that King Qin Zheng was the chosen one and the son of the plane.

The two chatted about wine, but the little child slave found it boring and fell asleep while listening.

In the dream, the little child slave was panicking, and saw huge hands picking him up and putting them on his shoulders.

Xiao Zhinu woke up in shock and found that the hand belonged to Qin Wangzheng!
It turned out that Qin Wangzheng said that tea can clear away heat and reduce fire, and resist wind and cold. Lord Changping was overjoyed and decided to go to Xiangguo Mansion with Qin Wangzheng.

As for Xiao Zhinu, Qin Wangzheng was unwilling to leave, so he put his hand on his shoulder and went to meet Lu Buwei together.

Lord Changping stared blankly at Qin Wangzheng's every move.

Your Majesty, I am afraid that you are not crazy. Why do you put the frog on your shoulder? You are not afraid of being laughed at.

Qin Wangzheng didn't care.

after all
As long as Qin Wangzheng doesn't laugh, no one else will dare to laugh.

As night falls, the Youlan sky is full of stars.

It stands to reason that after a day of farming, a farmer should return home to rest; a businessman should also rest his voice after a day of shouting.

The city of Xianyang was as quiet as if time had stood still.

Only the Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit.

As the prime minister, Lu Buwei is responsible for handling the national government affairs.

I even have to stay up until the next day every day
Lu Buwei knew that Qin Wangzheng was young and didn't want to put the burden on Qin Wangzheng, so he personally handled the memorials from various counties and counties.

Lu Buwei, who worked hard for an hour, felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He stood up, moved his neck, and made a crackling sound.

Seeing Qin Wangzheng and Lord Changping coming, Lu Buwei was flattered and made time to meet Qin Wangzheng.

After the three of them were seated, Lu Buwei ordered his servants to bring water.

But Qin Wangzheng declined and took out the remaining dry tea leaves from his pocket.

Seeing Qin Wangzheng giving a gift, Lu Buwei declined and said, "Come, come, what gift do you want?"

"I heard that the Prime Minister occasionally gets cold, so I sent you this thing."

Qin Wangzheng explained: "This product only needs to be brewed with water to get rid of wind and cold diseases."

Oh?
Lord Xiangguo became interested.

Seeing a bunch of grass leaves in Qin Wangzheng's hand, Lu Buwei instinctively thought it was a herbal medicine.

Just rinse it with water to clear away heat and reduce fire, and treat wind and cold?

So Lu Buwei ordered people to brew the tea.

When the servant brought the tea, it was far away, and Lu Buwei could smell the strong tea fragrance.

After drinking it, Lu Buwei felt a wave of warmth sweeping his whole body.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Buwei took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

The original fatigue was gone, and even Lu Buwei felt that he could continue working for half an hour.

However, the tea is a bit bitter.

"Herbal medicine is very bitter, but good medicine is bitter and beneficial to the disease, so I have to accept it with a smile!"

Lu Buwei had no choice but to put away the tea leaves.

Lu Buwei was about to ask Qin Wangzheng where he got the object.
Qin Wangzheng still used the story of the white-haired old man to deceive Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei followed up with a flattery and praised Qin Wangzheng to the sky.

Of course, while he was happy, Lu Buwei remembered a guest named Qin Ming from Yiling County, Ba County.

Although Qin Ming is from Ba, he is proficient in Ba County's dialect, but he also learned Qin's Xiaozhuan, and was kept in the palace by Lu Buwei as a guest minister.

Qin Ming traveled around the country and saw countless rare and rare treasures, so he should have heard something about this thing.

Therefore, Lu Buwei invited Qin Ming into the mansion.

Qin Ming was wearing tiger skin, with a ferocious complexion and a burly figure, which made him look a bit savage.

However, in his words, Qin Wangzheng could see that Qin Ming was not a rough man.

Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance!

It's just that Qin Ming has just entered Xianyang, so he doesn't know the rules of the Qin people very well, so he should ask Lu Buwei for advice if he has any questions.

"Cuckoo!"

The little childish slave became interested.

Therefore, Qin Ming is exactly the person he meets when he travels.

A few months ago, King Qin issued an edict to Guanzhong, prohibiting the killing of frogs.

The Ba people knew that Qin Wangzheng doted on the frog, so they didn't hurt it.

In addition, the little child is cute, so he let the child sit at home, and even personally brewed tea for the child, which is regarded as a treasure by the Ba people (the Ba people call tea "xiangming").

Qin Ming recognized the little childish slave at a glance: "So it's you!"

Qin Wangzheng smelled a hint of danger and yelled: "Presumptuous!"

Seeing this, Qin Ming's fingers twitched in fright.

After Lu Buwei explained the identity of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Ming said on the spot: "Your Majesty. Your minister lost his composure!"

Qin Wangzheng was about to punish Qin Ming, but was stopped by Xiao Zhinu.

Xiao Zhinu made gestures in front of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng looked dizzy.

But Qin Ming was unexpectedly delighted, and planned with Xiao Zhi Nu.

Qin Wangzheng felt surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Xiaozhinu and Qinming are friends?"

After Xiaozhinu nodded slightly, Qin Wangzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Buwei ordered his servant to hand the tea leaves to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming lowered his head and smelled it first.

Then touch the tea leaves with your fingers.

Finally, take out a slice and taste it in your mouth.

Qin Ming said: "This thing is not unusual, it is abundant in the Berkshire area, and it is called Xiangming."

Qin Wangzheng swallowed.

Xiang Ming Qin Wangzheng then remembered.

Fragrant tea is the precious wood of the south.

King Wu of Zhou once united with Lord Lin to defeat Zhou. After King Wu annexed the world, he divided the remote areas to Lord Lin and established the Ba Kingdom.

In order to thank King Wu of Zhou, Mr. Lin sent local tea!
At that time, Qin Wangzheng was still wondering what fragrant tea was, but he didn't expect it to be right in front of him!
Qin Wangzheng asked, "How about the tea production in Berkshire?"

Qin Ming thought thoughtfully and answered truthfully: "Two stones per mu!"

Two stones are about 120 Jin.

Qin Wangzheng's eyes lit up with gold, and he said: "This thing is really a rare treasure!"

"It can dredge the meridians, diuretic and detoxify, clear away heat and fire, and refresh the mind."

"If it is only in a corner of the border, it will be difficult to give full play to its value!"

"If it is promoted throughout the country, wouldn't my Daqin benefit a lot?"
