The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The Jinling River is very lively tonight, with many large and small boats.Among these ships, one was very luxuriously decorated, and there were many guards with knives or swords on board.

There are no other ships near this ship.No one in the entire Jinling City dared to approach this ship.

This ship is unlike any nearby.The nearby boats were very lively, with drums, laughter, and singing... but this boat was very quiet, which seemed a bit out of place.

Suddenly a small boat approached the ship.

Zhao Yao got off the small boat and immediately boarded the big ship with great swagger.

The guards on the big ship stopped Zhao Yao and the others and said they wanted to check whether they were carrying weapons.Tong Xi was furious and was about to argue with them, but Zhao Yao raised his hand to stop him.

Seeing that Zhao Yao and the others were not carrying weapons, the guards allowed them to pass.One of the guards led them onto the deck.

When Li Jue saw Zhao Yao coming, he did not stand up to salute.

Tongxi was very angry when he saw Li Jue treating Zhao Yao so rudely. He was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Zhao Yao's look.

Li Jue glanced at Zhao Yao, pointed to the opposite side casually, and said to him: "Tenth Prince, please take a seat."

Zhao Yao walked over and sat down opposite Li Jue.There was a low table in front of him, and there were some food on the table, including snacks, cooked food, appetizers, and a few bottles of wine.

Li Jue pointed to the bottles of wine in front of Zhao Yao and introduced him: "This is the famous Drunken Dream Fairy in Jinling City. Your Highness can have a taste."

Zhao Yao opened the wine, lowered his head and smelled it, and the mellow aroma of the wine came to his nostrils.He sincerely praised: "Just by smelling the aroma of the wine, I know it is good wine. But if I don't drink, I can only live up to Brother Qiao's good intentions."

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

Zhao Yao smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's not true, I just don't like drinking."

Li Jue looked Zhao Yao up and down, and said with a joking tone: "Your Highness is still young, so it's normal not to like drinking."

Zhao Yao was not angry at all when he was told that he was still young, because Li Jue was right. He was not yet an adult, so he was still young.

Li Jue added: "If Your Highness is worried, I can take a sip of your wine first."

"Brother Qiao, I'm not afraid even if you poison the wine." Zhao Yao is really not afraid of poisoning the wine. He really just doesn't like drinking. "Even if you spike this wine with Hedinghong, I won't die if I drink it. This is why I was able to escape under your nose." He said the last sentence on purpose, just to make Li angry. Jue.

After Li Jue heard this, although there was no reaction on his face, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Is His Highness immune to all poisons?"

"Absolutely." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I don't like drinking, can you bring me a cup of tea?"

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

Zhao Yao lowered his head, took a few sips, and then asked: "Is this this year's Yuqian Longjing?"

Li Jue didn't expect that Zhao Yao could drink Yuqian Longjing, which surprised him a bit.In his opinion, His Highness the Tenth Prince did not look like someone who knew much about tea.

"His Royal Highness has a good tongue."

Tongxi, who was standing next to Zhao Yao, sneered.He looked at Li Jue with ridicule in his eyes and said sarcastically: "No one in this world knows Yuqian Longjing better than my Highness. My Highness asked people to make this Longjing tea. My Highness said that Yuqian Longjing tea is the most delicious." , so that’s why there is Yuqian Longjing.”

Speaking of Yuqian Longjing, we have to mention Zhao Yao’s contribution to Dazhou tea.

Zhao Yao took the lead in making tea. In the past, people all over the world drank tea or tea soup.Zhao Yao couldn't drink some tea, so he made out the tea that Zhao Yao drank in the world in his dream.

Over the years, thanks to his praise, many good teas have emerged in various places.This Longjing before the rain was specially made by Zhao Yao, and it became famous overnight.

Li Jue had never heard of such a thing, and there was a slight look of surprise on his face.He then said with joy, "Not only Longjing tea, but also your Jiangnan Biluochun, Qimen black tea, Lu'an Guapian, Huangshan Maofeng and other teas were made by my Highness. Of course, there are other places. The same goes for Tieguanyin and Pu’er tea.”

Tongxi continued with pride on his face: "Making tea is a new way of drinking that my Highness came up with. Do you think my Highness can drink Longjing before the rain?" This Li Jue is really annoying.He thought he knew tea, but little did he know that the tea he was drinking now was made by his highness.When His Highness talked about new tea in his house, it was really a trick.

Li Jue's face showed a rare and obvious look of shock.He knew that the method of drinking tea came from the palace, but he didn't expect that it was His Highness the Tenth Prince who invented it.

"The fine and famous teas you are drinking now are all made by my Highness at the request of His Highness." When it comes to drinking tea, no one can compare to His Highness. "You said that my Highness doesn't understand tea..."

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

Tongxi shut his mouth obediently and said nothing more.

"Your Highness, I'm disrespectful." Li Jue 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 chat with you for a while." He still has some say in tea.The famous teas Tongxi just mentioned were all ordered by him, and these places would send these fine teas to the imperial court every year.

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

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

Also, most dignitaries drink tea, but ordinary people drink very little.Common people don't like to drink tea very much. They drink tea as medicine and don't drink tea unless absolutely necessary.

In fact, many dignitaries don't like to drink tea, but if they don't drink tea, they seem to have no status, so they can only drink it.After Zhao Yao came up with a new way of drinking tea and new tea, both the famous families and the common people fell in love with drinking tea.They didn't expect that tea would taste so good in a new way.

After figuring out a new way to drink tea, Zhao Yao wanted to get the famous tea from Zhao Yao's world in his dream.This has made many places famous for their tea.People in many places have begun to grow tea on a large scale, which has greatly increased their income.

Of course, the emergence of new tea also made the court a lot of money.Zhao Yao's new tea is very popular in foreign countries. Every year, the tea sold to foreign countries brings great wealth to the court.

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

A long time ago, tea was a medicinal herb that could cure some diseases.However, the previous way of drinking tea destroyed the effect of tea.The new way of drinking tea retains most of the effects of tea.

Not to mention the other functions of tea, many people like it for its refreshing effect.The literati Yacos originally liked drinking tea, but after the new way of drinking tea appeared, they loved drinking tea even more.

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

In the past, tea bowls or cups were used to drink tea, but no tea bowls were used.After Zhao Yao figured out a new way to drink tea, he also took out the tea bowl.

The emergence of tea-covered bowls brought a lot of money to porcelain makers in Zhou Dynasty.Nowadays, various kinds of tea bowls appear in Dazhou, and each set is very exquisite and beautiful.The tea-covered bowls were sold to foreign countries together with the tea.

He Xiang once told the emperor that without mentioning the Qu Yuan plow, saddles and printing technology that Zhao Yao had made before, just mentioning the new tea and tea bowls, His Highness the Tenth Prince brought unexpected money to the Zhou Dynasty.

Over the years, the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become rich rapidly, and His Royal Highnesses account for half of the credit.

It is a pity that the ministers in the court did not pay attention to the things Zhao Yao did, and still thought that he was a useless prince.

Speaking of tea, there are a few 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 very popular among literati and common people.

The main purpose of the tea fighting competition is to test the quality of tea from various places, as well as the methods of growing tea and the yield.Not only that, they also asked tea farmers to research and grow new tea leaves, and also asked tea farmers to make new tea leaves.

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

Li Jue likes to drink tea most on weekdays.Before the advent of new tea, he was not much of a tea drinker.

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

No one knows Xincha better than Zhao Yao.Speaking of new tea, Zhao Yao spoke clearly and clearly, which gave Li Jue a lot of knowledge.

Just by listening to Zhao Yao talk about the new tea, you can realize that he is not the stupid prince in legend.

Although the Li family is a salt gang, they are also in the tea business.Although the profits from the tea business are not as large as those from salt, they are still considerable.No matter who you are, you won’t mind having too little money.

"There is no new tea coming out of the capital this year. Is it because His Highness didn't come up with a new tea?" Every year, new tea comes out of the capital. To be precise, it comes out of the palace.No new tea has been released from the palace this year, and tea merchants and farmers from all over the country are anxiously waiting.

"I don't have time to think about it this year." Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "With so many things happening this year, I don't have time to think about new tea." He planned to go to Yangzhou and was thinking about new tea.It's just that he hasn't gone to Yangzhou yet, so he doesn't think about it for the time being.

"Your Highness is 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 time to think about new tea?" Zhao Yao held up his chin and looked at Li Jue with interest, "Brother Qiao, you didn't invite me here just to buy me a drink. , not just to chat with me about tea."

In the excitement of chatting over tea, Li Jue almost forgot about the real thing.

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

Hearing this, Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows in pretending to be surprised: "Brother Qiao, are you not counting me as a murderer?"

Li Jue smiled and said, "That's right, I don't plan to kill you anymore."

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

Li Jue nodded gently and said to Zhao Yao in a charitable tone, "That's right."

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

"nature."

"Hahahahaha..." Zhao Yao suddenly burst out laughing, then fell down on the table and couldn't straighten up.

Li Jue looked coldly at Zhao Yao, who was laughing non-stop: "Why are you laughing?"

Zhao Yao laughed so hard that tears came out.He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Li Jue funnyly: "Brother Qiao, who gave you the confidence to think you can kill me?"

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

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

"Can you kill me?" After hearing this, Li Jue felt that this was so funny that he laughed unconsciously. "Your Highness, who gave you the confidence to think you could kill me?"

"Myself." Zhao Yao winked at Li Jue, "Brother Qiao, if you don't believe it, you can try it and see whether you control my life or I control yours in the end." (End of Chapter)
