What Wang Lucao said was as if he had stabbed Jiang Liuyi twice in his heart. Jiang Liuyi flattened his mouth and stopped saying a word.

The teapot that Wang Lucai was small and exquisite. One pot of tea was at most enough to pour four cups of tea.

Wang Lucao looked sideways at Jiang Liuyu and said, "Come on?"

Jiang Liuyu was extremely happy. He picked up the teapot with both hands and took the opportunity to play with it. He kept saying, "The mud glaze of this teapot is indeed much more refined than mine."

He smirked again and said, "I remember my father once taught me that in Suwu, I usually use good tea to cook in the magnetic bottle and cook it with a boiling temperature. The temperature is measured, and the eyes of the boiling crab are as the joints. It is light golden and has a clear and fragrant smell. If it goes beyond this, the color will be red and not good."

He smiled and looked at Wang Lucao and asked, "Brother Wang, are you willing to bear the good tea in your bag?"

Wang Lucao smiled and looked at Yumo. Yumo brought several porcelain bottles and jars and said, "Young Master, you are all here."

When Jiang Liuyu saw these bottles and jars, his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Oh, I knew you had good things hidden for a long time. I didn't expect so many. Wang Lu fuck you so much. It would be great to take them out earlier."

Wang Lucao looked at Chen Kang and said, "These are mostly famous local products in Suzhou. I went to try tea in each tea shop, and the quality is excellent."

Chen Kang bowed and said, "I'm so happy today."

Wang Lucao picked up a white porcelain jar, opened the lid, and said, "This is Baiyun tea, produced in the Baiyun Top of Huangshan Mountain on Taihu Lake, surrounded by lakes on three sides, and the water vapor has been steaming for many years, and the tea is unique. The method of brewing pots in Suwu, after brewing, it is as color as jade milk, bright and clear as a sparrow tongue, and tastes like olives. It is extremely difficult to pick Baiyun tea. In a specific season, you must climb to the top of Baiyun Mountain, take its tender buds and leaves, and then finish the green, baked, pick and replenish the fire."

Chen Kang took the tea jar, put his palms on the mouth of the jar, sniffed it gently, nodded and said, "It's refreshing, it's really extraordinary."

Jiang Liuqi took the tea jar and asked, "Just make this Baiyun tea?"

Wang Lucao picked up another green jar and said, "This is Tianchi tea, and it is also a famous product in Suzhou."

Chen Kang took the tea pot again and sniffed it.

Jiang Liuyu lost his patience and said, "Whether this or that, which can we drink?"

Wang Lucao said: "These two kinds of tea are rare and good teas, but the one who wins my heart the most is not one of these two, but it is so scary."

Jiang Liuyu said, "Don't just think I don't understand. This scary fragrance can be regarded as the best Suzhou tea." He paused and then said, "But these teas are not cheap. How much silver have you spent?"

Wang Lucao said: "Total, it's about five taels of silver."

Jiang Liuxian looked at him in surprise and asked, "Five taels of silver? How is that possible! Which tea shop owner is crazy, and sells you such a high-quality tea at a low price?"

Wang Lucao said: "I only said I went to the tea shop to try tea, but I never said that I bought tea at the tea shop."

Chen Kang said suspiciously: "Is the tea tax very heavy?"

Jiang Liuyan smiled and said, "Just like the salt tax, the Ming Dynasty took one, but in fact, it reached the 20 to four or five. All these names were offered to compete for profit with the people. The same is true for tea tax. The Ming Dynasty tea tax was used to promote tea. The court ordered merchants to buy tea from the place of origin, and merchants had to pay the "money" to transport tea for tea. If there was no tea, they were regarded as private tea, and the officials would "report". The court stipulated that for every 100 kilograms of tea, 200 ounces of money would be charged. In some special areas, the method of collecting tea tax is different, such as Shaanxi and Sichuan, and one ten was taken to change horses in the same class."

Jiang Liuyu chuckled, looked at Wang Lucao, and said, "You are smart and have learned to buy private tea. I dare not drink this tea. If I go to the dock later, I will be arrested by the court, but it will be more than worth the effort."

Wang Lucao said: "Who said this is a private tea?"

Jiang Liuqi frowned and asked, "Oh, don't keep it aside. How did you buy tea?"

Wang Lucao said, "I took the time to go to the top of Baiyun Mountain and everywhere where tea produces, and gave rice to tea farmers. Recently, the prices of rice and grain in various places in Suzhou Prefecture have overflowed. Those tea farmers are worried that they can't afford rice and grain, so they thanked me very much after receiving the grain. In order to thank me, I gave me these tea leaves. I refused, so I reluctantly accepted it. What law did you think I broke?"

When Jiang Liuyu heard Wang Lucao’s words, he was stunned. Is there any such magical operation in the world?

Jiang Liuyu held the corner of his lips and said, "Give rice to the farmers?"

Wang Lucao nodded carelessly: "Yes."

Jiang Liuying asked with a smile: "The other party thanks you very much?"

Wang Lucao nodded slowly again: "That's right."

Jiang Liuyu asked with a smile on his face: "Did you accept the thank you for your helplessness?"

Wang Lucao smiled brightly: "How?"

Jiang Liuyu bowed and said, "I admire you."

Wang Lucao smiled and said, "The farmers are simple and enthusiastic, and they really can't help but recommend them. As for the tea tax, how can they be considered as a thank-you gift? I am a scholar and not a businessman, so why do I say tea tax, right?"

Jiang Liuyu smiled softly and said, "You are still cunning and have saved so much money. You will be docked later. You have to invite Shen San and I to have a good meal."

Wang Lucao pointed to the teapot and said, "Make a pot of tea first, and I will be the host when I go to the dock."

While Jiang Liuyu brewed tea, Shen Kang was still thinking about the tea tax and couldn't help but smile in his heart: Zhu Baba deserves to be a miserable person. His hatred for merchants has really reached a certain level, so he came up with so many ways to rectify merchants.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want his dynasty to become the Qin Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, and died in the second lifetime, so he designed a system for the Ming Dynasty that was suitable for him.

In order to stop tyranny from his own, the successor he liked was his relatively kind son Zhu Biao, rather than the King of Yan Zhu Di, who was closest to his personality.

He hoped that the Ming Dynasty would eventually rule the world with benevolence. In order to give the prince a good governance environment, he killed his meritorious officials, set up the Jinyiwei, and abolished the prime minister who threatened the imperial power and replaced it with a cabinet system.

In order for his descendants to weave straw mats like Liu Bei, he left titles for his descendants for several generations, set salary, and stipulated that food and salary were not allowed to go out to make a living.

In order to prevent being tyrannical by eunuchs like the Han Dynasty, he ordered eunuchs not to interfere in politics.

In order to allow the people to have food and not rebel, he explicitly ordered farmers to be the first to curb merchants and stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear fabrics above yarn.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he had laid a foundation for his descendants for thousands of years and had planned for his descendants. He was a lifelong injury and a lifelong plan.
