The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 109: Seconded Salt and Iron Division

Renzong praised the scented flower tea, and ordered people to go to Yunyan to study in detail, and come back to study it. With the power of the court, he naturally quickly studied the technology thoroughly. At this time, Renzong also specially ordered the salt and iron division to bring scented tea to the market.

In the 21st case of Sansi, the tea case was in charge of the salt and iron division.

Scenting tea was loved by the officials and the female family members of the harem, and it quickly spread from the top to the bottom. The ups and downs of tea-making in the Song Dynasty started. Not only that, because the Song Dynasty was the center of the world economy at this time, so This wind quickly spread to other countries.

This was exactly the idea of ​​Renzong. Because Song Da Song had mastered the secret of making scented scented tea, and because other countries didn’t know about it, he blew the cost of scented tea indiscriminately and sold the originally not cheap tea at high prices and traded it abroad. CUHK makes a fortune.

Under such internal and external drive up, even if the price of scented tea is extremely high, it is still in short supply.

After seeing such a scene, Renzong asked the people in the tea case to keep innovating.

The people involved in the tea case are not bad, but the scope of tea matters is wide-ranging. The officials of the tea case work 360 days a year and go to various production and marketing areas to monitor and manage local tea affairs.

Under such circumstances, Renzong's increase in income to them is equivalent to an increase in burden, making them cry or laugh, let alone innovate.

Everyone in the tea case wants to apply. This should basically set up a special department. How can technology and administration be integrated.

However, it is so simple to set up a new department. Whoever developed this stuff in the past, it was the Houyuan workshop who played around casually.

Now for a while, they had no choice but to find Yun Yan back for help.

How could Yun Yan go back? Not to mention that he still has something to do. He just turned down the secondment request from Dali Temple just before. If he agrees to the Yantie Division now, what do you make Wen Yanbo think?

So Yun Yanhui once again declined the tea case.

But the tea case was not Dali Temple. They were rascal, and they were more purposeful, so they immediately ran to the official house and rolled around.

The demolition is an important matter ordered by the officials, but the tea issue is also an important matter ordered by the officials. Speaking of which, we are still more important, so why not lend us?

Moreover, the demolition and relocation can be done by others. Who will replace Yunyan for the flower tea?

When Renzong heard it, it made sense!

The front line between the demolition and the tourism festival is very long. Yun Yan still has so many people under his hand. He can spare a period of time to help with the tea case.

——This means that before Yun Yan returned, Wen Yanbo could not go to Rezong for verification. However, he did not expect that the people in the tea case were so cheeky and went directly to Rezong.

As a result, Yun Yan could only bite the bullet and clean up his baggage, and ran to the Salt and Iron Division.

From this day on, he will be seconded to the tea case of Yan Tiesi.

However, what Yun Yan didn't expect was--

On the first day Yun Yan returned to work, Chaan sent a small official to pick him up at Kaifeng Mansion.

Yun Yan followed all the way to the tea case and was stunned when he saw Zhao Yunchu riding a horse from the other end.

After being in the palace that day, he hadn't expected Zhao Yunchu for many days.

Zhao Yunchu claimed to cry for a few days at the time, and Yun Yan felt awkward in his own heart. It was impossible to run to find him. Besides, he was too busy. After all, it was at least more than a month.

At first sight, Yun Yanhui realized that the awkward feeling still lingered in her heart...

But the street was open and open, and there was no shelter. Yun Yan couldn't hide behind him. He could only stand awkwardly and watch Zhao Yunchu ride over.

Zhao Yunchu wore an ink-colored cloak, and the spring breeze was blowing, but there was no expression on his face. His eyes flickered when he saw Yun Yanhui standing at the gate of the Yan Tie Division.

He rode up to the front.

A horse is a good horse, especially with a very tall posture, so Zhao Yunchu, who is sitting on horseback, looks a bit condescending. He lowered his head and looked down. His eyes were as deep as ink, and he didn't say a word, but looked at Yun Yan with indifferent low eyes. Back.

Against the light, Yun Yan glanced back at him, and felt that his silence was a little palpitating.

Yun Yan almost didn't dare to speak anymore. This is a rare situation, especially when facing Zhao Yunchu, he is usually the one who has the initiative. But today's Zhao Yunchu looks a bit negative and oppressive...

"...Xiaochu?"

Yun Yan yelled hesitantly, Zhao Yunchu had a sweet smile on his face, lying on the horse's back, the height immediately dropped, and the oppression disappeared, "Brother Yan, why are you here? "

The smile is still so sweet.

Yun Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that it was probably an illusion just now. It may be because Zhao Yunchu was wearing black clothes today and he was in a higher place-it's all because of this kid who eats so well and grows so tall!

Thinking of this, Yun Yan felt relieved when he returned.

"Oh... I was seconded to the tea case of the Salt and Iron Division." Yun Yan explained back, "What about you, why are you here?"

It stands to reason that Dali Temple has no contact with the tea case, right?

Zhao Yunchu was silent for a while, "Because, Dali Temple... is right by here."

This is embarrassing...

Yun Yan was a little embarrassed when he returned. He had never been to Dali Temple. Because Zhao Yunchu was too diligent, he basically ran to Kaifeng Mansion. Therefore, he knew where Dali Temple was in his mind, but he walked to the Salt and Iron Division. But there was no response for a while.

"Haha... I'm so busy, I forgot." Yun Yan answered with a dry smile.

Fortunately, Zhao Yunchu didn't care too much. He smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Yan has been very busy recently. I heard Wensiqing say that there have been many things in the settlement outside the imperial city."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Embarrassed again, Zhao Yunchu's words are too much to make up for the knife. He didn't take time out of the "so busy" thing and ran to the Salt Iron Division to help!

Fortunately, the little official in the unknown tea case next to him said very intimately: "Isn’t it, it’s not easy for us to borrow Brother Yun. Our judges all begged to go to the official house, and we almost didn’t roll around in the hall." That's why I borrowed him!"

Zhao Yunchu thoughtfully said: "Really?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

When he saw Zhao Yunchu's expression, he felt that his heart was getting furry. Did this little official excuse him or inspire Zhao Yunchu?

Yun Yan was a little tangled back, Zhao Yunchu said that he could cry for a few days, is it okay? Or will it take longer?

Zhao Yunchu: "Then your judge has done a good deed. Being so close, you can eat together in the future."

Zhao Yunchu's expression is very cheerful and natural.

Yun Yan looked back and felt relieved again, um, this should be no problem, I can tell with my eyesight!

"Okay... Actually, I'm planning to bring a cook from Kaifeng Mansion." Yun Yan said back.

The eyes of the small official of the tea case suddenly widened. In fact, he had long heard how good the chefs of Kaifeng Mansion were, but at the same time, he also had the pride of being a tea case person in his heart.

The three divisions can be said to be the richest department and the department in charge of money, and the tea case is an important department among them. So their treatment is also extraordinary, after all, they are also very tired.

Under such circumstances, if you are particularly yearning for the cafeteria in Kaifeng Mansion...Will it be a bit embarrassing?

"This...actually...in fact, our chefs are also very good." The little official said after politely honoring his department, "But I heard that Kaifeng Mansion's canteen dishes have different flavors!"

Yun Yan laughed back and said, "Don't worry, I will take you to eat together."

The little official suddenly showed a happy expression, but he couldn't say...

Yun Yan remembered something at this moment and took out a box of tea from his bag. This box of tea was packaged with blue paper. The paper was filled with tea leaves. The paper made a few years ago is now used. It complements each other.

He handed it to Zhao Yunchu and said, "I have so much on me now, scented tea, jasmine, give it to the princess to taste it, and I'll get some for you next time."

Zhao Yunchu saw it but was a little surprised, "So many?"

Is it too much? Not much.

For Yun Yanhui, there is really not much. The court queried the tea, but it won’t be quelled by him. This is a special case for him by Renzong, just like the wines before.

However, this matter still needs to be kept secret. Only the high-level officials know about the tea case, and everyone else only knows that he has researched on scented tea, but they don't know the fundamentals. So Yun Yan turned back in front of others and said tactfully: "I don't want to see where I was borrowed now."

Zhao Yunchu was very familiar with him. After seeing his expression, he was silent and understood in his heart, his eyes darkened, only to say that he hadn't seen Yun Yan for too long, and smiled: "That's right, my mother I have been loving this tea recently, thank you Brother Yan."

"Thank you, what is the relationship between us?" Yun Yan replied with a casual smile, and felt a little wrong after that.

Zhao Yunchu also smiled, and said nothing.

Yun Yan felt a little bit of a silly smile when he was back in a daze, but now he is facing the light, and when he takes a closer look, there is no more, still that silly white smile, afraid that the more he speaks, the more wrong he thinks of himself. Go to report, then say goodbye: "I still need to find Shangguan to report, see you later."

"Okay, let's eat together at noon then?" Zhao Yunchu invited.

"Um... well, everyone eat together. I have not eaten a chef from other places." Although Yun Yanhui no longer doubted it, he also understood it as a collective activity intentionally or unintentionally. He said and waved Waving his hand, he walked into the salt iron division.

Zhao Yunchu straightened up, and the horse under him raised his hoof impatiently. He lightly pinched the horse's belly, urged the horse to move forward, and whispered, "Okay, see you later."
