Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I can tell you the truth. How can I have such ability? This is what I was rewarded by Your Majesty when I went to the capital to meet His Majesty.

His Majesty said that this tea was not sold outside, so the official was reluctant to drink it after he came back.

And every time I drink this tea, I am reminded of His Majesty's kindness to my ministers. "

After speaking, Dang Renhong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Li Shen felt contempt in his heart. Is this old lamp still acting at this time? I am not a prince and have no real power. You just need to act it out in front of me.

"Shitou, go to the carriage and get two cans of the tea that I drink." Li Shen ordered Shitou.

Shitou ran out and quickly brought back two cans of tea.

Li Shen took the tea bucket and put it on the table and said:

"Dang Governor, these two cans are for the king's own use. They are the latest type of tea in the palace this year. I named it Pu'er tea.

It is to pick large leaves from a thousand-year-old tree in the sacred mountain in the southwest of Nanzhao Kingdom as raw materials.

The local unmarried virgins from Nanzhao Kingdom should go up the mountain to pick them by themselves before sunrise, after burning incense and bathing. The picking time should be exactly at sunrise and when the sun and moon meet.

The leaves absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the dewdrops on them are the aura of heaven and earth.

Store it in a virgin's corset for preservation, and wash it with the collected dew when you return.

This tea was obtained after going through 49 and [-] production processes.

This tea is hard-won. I accidentally discovered it in a thousand-year-old book from Nanzhao Kingdom, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

The money alone is nearly one million yuan, and tens of thousands of local people are employed to barely get a little.

At present, even I, Aye, don’t have any. I only have five cans from my mother-in-law, the Imperial Concubine.

These two cans of tea should be considered as gifts from me to the Party Governor on behalf of Aye. "

Li Shen spoke eloquently, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was serious. Dang Renhong was stunned for a moment.

After hearing Li Shen say that tea is so precious, he couldn't help but say:

"This tea is so precious. Could it be that this tea tree is rare?"

Li Shen shook his head and sighed.

"Alas, the party governor doesn't know something. There is a certain care in picking this tea."

"I wonder if it is convenient for Your Highness to reveal the secret." Dang Renhong was very curious. Guangzhou is not very far from Nanzhao. If...

"To be honest, this is not a big deal. That's because..."

"Cough~~cough~~"

Just when Li Sheng said because, he heard Wang Xuance cough twice, interrupting Li Shen to continue.

Li Shen looked back at Wang Xuance. Wang Xuance remained unmoved, approached Li Shen and whispered:

"My lord, this is the princess's request."

Li Shen frowned after hearing this.

When Li Shen wanted to say something else, Dang Renhong said:

"My lord, I wonder who this is...?"

Dang Renhong always thought that Wang Xuance was just a staff member of the palace, but Wang Xuance mentioned Princess Ji,

Ordinary staff would not dare to let Prince Ji stand down like this, and would usually directly say that it is not convenient to talk about it, or that it cannot be said.

It would not be said that it was Princess Ji's request, but it seemed that Li Shen was afraid of guilt. This clearly showed that Wang Xuance's identity was not that of an aide.

That's why Dang Renhong asked Li Shen who Wang Xuance was.

"Oh, this is the long history of our Prince Ji's Mansion, Wang Xuance. He has been with me for almost ten years." Li Shen said nonchalantly.

"I have met the party commander." Wang Xuance saluted.

"It turns out to be Wang Changshi, and I was negligent."

After learning that Wang Xuance was the long history of Prince Ji's Mansion, Dang Renhong also said enthusiastically.

The chief historian of a prince's palace can influence the words and deeds of a prince. The chief historian is not only in charge of all the government orders of the prince's palace and can submit petitions, he can also write letters to the emperor, control the government officials, and regulate the duties.

If the prince makes a mistake, you can also criticize and correct the prince.

The princes and governors of the Tang Dynasty, Shi, were appointed by the emperor. They were the emperor's people and were also responsible for supervising whether the vassal princes violated laws and disciplines and whether they had any rebellious intentions.

Only Li Shen chose Prince Ji's Mansion himself, and Li Shimin agreed.

Therefore, although Chang Shi does not have the power to enforce the law, he does have the power to supervise and advise.

It is reasonable for Dang Renhong to change his attitude towards Wang Xuance, because he does not know whether Wang Xuance is Li Shimin's person.

Li Shen didn't pay attention to Wang Xuance's words, but said to Wang Xuance:

"Hey~~~~The Party Governor is not an outsider, but the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. Is there anything that cannot be said? I am not a child, so I still need to listen to women?"

After hearing this, Wang Xuance retreated behind Li Shen and said no more. Li Shen turned around and continued to speak to Dang Renhong.

"Dang Commander, I am telling you that this tea is hard to come by because it must be picked at a specific time."

"What specific time?" Dang Renhong also aroused curiosity.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of Purple Qi coming from the east?" Li Shen asked in a low voice.

"Purple Qi is coming from the east?"

"Exactly, picking tea leaves only starts in mid-June every year. The fog in the mountains does not disperse. On a specific day, the sun rises in the east and looks at the moon from a distance. When the mountains are filled with purple air, the tea leaves absorb the purple air.

The tea leaves picked at this time have the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, he opened the lid of the tea and let Dang Renhong smell it. Sure enough, the taste was different from what Li Shimin had given him.

The taste is not that fragrant, but it is very mellow.

"How about it, not bad, I don't have much." Li Shen said proudly.

"Come here, bring a pot of hot water." Dang Renhong ordered.

Soon the servants brought hot water and a tea bowl again. Li Shen personally took out a little Pu'er, put it in the tea bowl, filled it with water and handed it to Dang Renhong.

"This tea needs to be brewed for a while before drinking to make it thicker." Li Shen said.

After a while, Li Shen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and so did Dang Renhong.

After drinking, Dang Renhong's eyes lit up, he realized that the reward from Li Shimin was indeed different, and each had its own merits.

"That's right, this tribute tea is called Pu'er tea, and that tribute tea I call green tea, named Maojian.

The production process of this kind of Pu'er is more complicated, and drinking it has the effect of prolonging life, so our palace plans to increase the production of Pu'er in the future. "

Li Shen took another sip quite proudly.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, your hair tip is already worth one tael of tea leaves and one tael of gold, so isn't your Pu'er worth a lot more?"

Now Dang Renhong has truly understood how King Ji Li Shen made money. No wonder people in Chang'an say that King Ji is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.

If this tribute tea could be mass-produced, wouldn’t it mean making a fortune every day?

"Haha, of course, I am planning to build a tea-making workshop in Nanzhao to make Pu'er tea.

At that time, I will hire a large number of tea picking girls on the day of picking, so that I can pick a large amount of tea leaves when the purple energy comes from the east, and then hire a large number of craftsmen to make tea.

In this way, it will not be delayed for too long and cause loss of tea leaves.

As long as the output can increase, making money every day is not enough to describe the wealth gained. "
