Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 870 Gifts
There is no need for Du Jinning to worry too much about buying tea gardens, as long as he tells Zhuang Yue, he will ask his shopkeeper to look around the mountains.If the mountains near the capital are too expensive, Du Jinning suggested that they go to Huizhou or Fujian to buy them.

Xiuning, Huangshan, Tunxi, Qimen and other places in Huizhou were all famous tea producing areas in the Ming Dynasty. Xiuning was famous for Songluo tea, which is the originator of fried green tea.

Now that the fried green tea has been taken out by Du Jinning in advance, Songluo tea may never have a chance to become famous again.But there are beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is a good place to grow tea. Good mountains and rivers produce good tea.Du Jinning bought the mountain land there when it was not well-known. It didn't cost much, but it could get very good quality tea.

Fujian Tongguan, Anxi and other places are also places where good tea is produced, and Du Jinning will naturally not let it go.

This is Du Jinning's unique advantage.

At a time when other time-traveling women are still trying to counterfeit all kinds of dim sum and snacks, and fighting against all kinds of top products, our Master Du won the imperial examination, opened the way with science and technology, and blazed a broader road.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this is the number one truth in the world.

The seedlings planted in the fields thrive under the spring breeze.With Du Jinning's personal guidance and participation, when the fertilizer research team made a staged progress, they sprinkled the newly developed fertilizer, and the rice ears began to form, and the rice ears hung heavily on the rice grains.

Wu Zheng wished he could go to Zhuangzi 180 times a day, but even Zhao He couldn't resist going out of the palace in person to visit Zhuangzi twice.

The ears of rice do not live up to expectations, the grains are plump and fruitful, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the yield per mu of this field is definitely not low.An old farmer like Songzhuangtou can even predict that this time the rice yield will be more than seven stones per mu.

"Princess is really a person with great ability." Wu Zheng stood on the ridge of the field, feeling infinitely emotional to Zhao Yu.

Zhao He nodded: "The most rare thing is that the princess is open-minded. She puts the country first in everything and never hides any secrets."

"The emperor is holy." Wu Zheng not only agreed with Zhao Yu's point of view very much, he wished to add a dozen words of praise to that sentence.

Because he cared about the high-yield rice, he and Zhao Wei would ask the four officials sent to study with Du Jinning from time to time in the past six months about the situation of the [-] mu of rice.

Then, the four officials who had been with Du Jinning for only one or two months spoke so much technical terms that they both looked confused and couldn't understand what they were talking about.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, the four officials said that they already understood why Wu Zheng and the others used the same seeds and the yield was so low.

Two months later, the four officials said that they could grow high-yield rice with the seeds.

that's enough.

It shows that Du Jinning has no secrets and has passed on all the knowledge she knows to the four officials.

Zhao He and Wu Zheng were not at all disgusted that the four officials had become Du Jinning's new fans.Because they are all fanboys themselves.For Du Jinning, who has the people in his heart and cares about the world, Zhao He has no doubts.

"Brother Huang, why are you here?" Du Jinning came out of the house upon hearing the news.

"I'll come and take a look." Zhao Wen said gently, "Your Royal Sister has worked hard."

Du Jinning shook his head: "It's not hard, I like dealing with the fields." It's much better than fighting with those courtiers.

"How long can we harvest?" Zhao Huo asked, pointing to the rice field.

"There is still half a month." Du Jinning said, "The seedlings of the late rice have grown, and we will have to grab them next month."

Zhao He also knew what double grabbing was.

He suddenly remembered that the tenant farmers who moved here from Runzhou planted [-] mu of land, but now they have to plant [-] mu of land, and they are afraid that they will be too busy.

He quickly asked: "Is there enough manpower? If not, I will order some people to come over."

Du Jinning smiled and said, "Enough."

She doesn't want the tenant farmers arranged by Zhao Huo and others.After the tenant farmers in Runzhou moved here, she spread the word in the local area and recruited more than [-] families.

In order to prevent problems, she developed some dark lines among the tenant farmers in Runzhou and the tenant farmers in the capital.If there is any disturbance below, she is very clear.

Fortunately, neither Zhao He, Wu Zheng nor the four officials made any small moves, otherwise she would have let them know that this year's high-yield rice has encountered difficulties, and the yield per mu is only four shi.

Zhao He was very good to her and didn't randomly put people around her, so Du Jinning planned to reciprocate and send Zhao He a gift.

"Brother Huang, your birthday will be in half a month. In addition to the high-yield rice, sister Huang plans to give you another generous gift." Du Jinning smiled.

"Oh?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Jinning, looking forward to it, "What gift?"

Wu Zheng also pricked up his ears to listen.

A gift that can be compared with high-yield rice makes people boil when they think about it.Du Jinning won't have developed something powerful again, right?
"Why don't we sit in the room and talk?" Du Jinning said.

Zhao Hue immediately agreed and followed Du Jinning into the house.Wu Zheng also brazenly followed in.

Zhao He glanced at him, then at Du Jinning, seeing that Du Jinning had no objection, he didn't drive Wu Zheng away either.

The three entered the hall and sat down, Du Jinning told Qingmu: "Go and get those brocade boxes from my study."

Aoki went out immediately, and came back after a while, holding two brocade boxes in his hands, and the two servant girls who followed him also held two brocade boxes in their hands.

Under Du Jinning's signal, they opened the brocade box, put it on the table, and retreated.

"Brother, please take a look." Du Jinning made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao He and Wu Zheng, as well as Eunuch Wu and Wu Zheng's long-term follower, felt as if grass had grown in their hearts, and they were beyond curious.It's just that because of his status, Zhao Yu put on airs and didn't rush forward to look.Others are naturally not good at expressing it.

Seeing the invitation at this time, Zhao Wei got up and walked over.

"Huh?" Seeing the contents of the brocade box, he was startled, and stretched out his hand to take out the contents from the brocade box.

The order of respect and inferiority, the emperor didn't finish watching it, so Wu Zheng couldn't go up to watch it.But the itching was unbearable, he had already stretched his neck to know what was in the brocade box.

At this time, seeing Zhao He take out a bright and colorful thing from the brocade box, he finally couldn't help it, got up and walked up.

"This is...porcelain?" Seeing clearly what was in Zhao Yu's hand, he couldn't help but gasped.

Porcelain was very popular as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties.However, steamed Qingtuan tea was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tuancha was finely ground into powder and turned into a green matcha-like shape. At that time, people liked to add green tea sets.The turquoise Zhejiang Yuezhou Kiln Porcelain is the tea set most admired by Lu Yu in "The Classic of Tea".

In the Song Dynasty, Yanpaotuan tea became popular. The color of the tea was still white, and people favored black porcelain tea sets that highlighted the white color. The Tuhao tea set from Jianzhou, Fujian Province stood out.

In Du Jinning's previous life, loose tea became popular in the Ming Dynasty.The pure tea soup of loose tea can bring out the posture of the leaves of the tea leaves, and the white porcelain tea set can better bring out the subtle beauty of the tea, so white porcelain began to be sought after.

Jingdezhen has been famous for producing white porcelain since the Tang Dynasty. The development of loose tea has raised the white porcelain produced in Jingdezhen to a very prominent position.At that time, all the porcelain kilns could not do well in Jingdezhen, and they closed down one after another.

Jingdezhen dominated the porcelain industry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but because of its immature porcelain technology, it was unable to make large pieces. Yixing, Jiangsu, survived miraculously because it was able to make large rough pottery vats, and later developed the pot-making industry.

So "Jingci" and "Yitao" have become synonymous with tea sets.
