Chapter 60 Princess Haoyue
In the study room, Wang Huang, Chu Lao and six other people looked at each other in uncertainty. Could these green buds and small tree leaves be used to make tea?
After the head of the Feng family waved his hand to let the guards go to rest, he personally brewed eight cups of Mingqian Maojian for everyone. When they saw the green soup and the fragrant tea, they had already decided in their hearts how to taste Wuwei. Just based on the color and fragrance, they were already happy. After taking a sip from the tea bowl, the long aftertaste made them unable to put down the tea bowl in their hands.
"Delicious, delicious, this is real tea!" Patriarch Situ shouted happily, "Feng boy, quickly brew the other three for me to taste."
After everyone tasted all four kinds of tea, Elder Feng took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Emperor Wang: "This is a letter from Xiao Feng'er that came with the four baskets of tea. Take a quick look at what it says."
After Wang Huang finished reading it, he read it again before passing it to Elder Feng beside him. Everyone read it word by word and then read it a second time. Then everyone fell into deep thought.
"Everyone has read the letter. Tell us what you think." Wang Huang looked around and then looked at Mr. Chu. "Mr. Chu, why don't you tell us what you think first?"
"Then I will first summarize the contents of the letter. Everyone can look at the incomplete parts and add to them." After seeing everyone nod, he continued:
"One is that two kinds of tea trees were found on the hill behind Liujia Village, and they were used to make Maojian and Cuimei. These are the ones that have been discovered so far. Does that mean there are other varieties that have not been discovered yet? And can the yield of these two existing tea trees be increased by cultivating them?"
"Secondly, different teas can be brewed in different tea sets. So does that mean we can assign someone to research and make these tea sets?"
"The third and most important point is that Feng'er and her daughter don't want to care about these things, and they must not let some blind people disturb them. If they make her unhappy, in the future..."
Upon hearing this, the eyelids of Old Feng and the head of the Feng family twitched involuntarily. Thinking of the letter they saw when they were about to leave and which they had not yet replied to, they thought to themselves that the boy from the second house must not become the first "blind thing". The two looked at each other and read worry in each other's eyes.
The eight people discussed for a long time in this small study before finally settling on this matter.
The morning court on the first day of May in the twentieth year of Haoyue was a day destined to be recorded in the history of Haoyue. On this day, the adults in the hall did not report their affairs first as usual. Instead, the eunuchs brought a bowl of tea to each adult first, and Emperor Shun, who was sitting on the high dragon throne, signaled everyone to take a sip.
"What do you think of this tea, gentlemen?" Emperor Shun asked everyone calmly.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, and then began to vie with each other in praising:
“Good tea, absolutely good tea.”
"The tea color is even, good tea."
......
Emperor Shun looked at the pillars of the country below without saying a word, and waved his hand to have the second bowl of tea brought. "How about trying this, my lords?"
The people who were just praising each other looked up at the person above with curiosity when they saw the clear soup in their hands and the fragrant aroma. Emperor Shun raised his hand to invite everyone to drink. Everyone raised their hands carefully and took a sip. The sweet taste made people unable to stop.
"My Lords, this tea..." Emperor Shun asked the third question of the day.
This time I don’t have to think hard about how to praise it, because it’s really good.
"This is really good tea, with a clear color, a fragrant tea aroma, and a refreshing taste."
"Yes, yes, yes. Compared to this, what we drank decades ago was not even tea."
"Your Majesty, is this tea? Where is it produced? What is the output? Who is managing it?" Mr. Li from the Ministry of Revenue asked four questions in a row with excitement. The treasury was not well-off due to the continuous wars in the past few years. As summer was approaching, ditches in various places needed to be dredged and reinforced, which required money. If there was this new tea, why would there be no worries about money coming into the account?
Emperor Shun glanced at the ministers who were eager to flatter him, and then glanced at Lord Li with shining eyes, feeling a little comforted. He turned around and saw Prince An with a thoughtful look on his face, and his brows couldn't help but frowned. No prince had been born in the palace in the past few years, and this second brother had become more and more restless.
"Don't worry, my dear minister Li," Emperor Shun comforted him and then said, "Over the years, you have been curious about where my queen has gone, right? Today I can tell you clearly that my queen is not in this palace, let alone in the capital."
Upon hearing this, Prince An suddenly raised his head with an expression of "as expected". Emperor Shun secretly sneered in his heart: "Originally, this is my family affair and should not be brought to this palace. However, there are always people who want to investigate. Today, I will take this opportunity to make it clear. Please remember that this is my family affair. If you keep talking too much in the future, I will never forgive you." After looking at the people standing under the prince, he continued: "Ten years ago, the queen was pregnant. After Mr. Chu made a series of divinations, the hexagrams all showed that they were not suitable to stay in the capital."
Everyone's eyes were in unison turned to the old master Chu, who was sitting in the second chair to the lower left of Emperor Shun with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes, glanced around, and nodded.
"The princess has survived the ordeal some time ago. The tea you are drinking today was discovered by Princess Meixiang in the back hills of the small mountain village where she lives. Four types of tea have been successfully brewed, and what you are drinking today is just one of them. More varieties will be brewed in the future, and in order to brew the best taste of each tea, special brewing techniques and utensils are needed. Lord Luo from the Ministry of Industry, how are your potato planting going?"
Lord Luo, who was suddenly named, came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, it is growing very well and should be ready for harvest next month. Could it be that Princess Meixiang also discovered this?"
"Lord Luo is right. According to the princess, potatoes should be planted twice a year under normal circumstances. The growth cycle is generally 60-100 days, and the normal yield per mu is about 300-500 jin. They can be used to make cakes, steam, boil, and cook."
Emperor Shun ignored everyone's dumbfounded looks and continued to bombard the ministers: "Recently, everyone should have heard that Sun's cloth shop has developed a new dyeing technology and dyed a new cloth, right?"
"Is this also something the princess proposed?" Lord Li asked impatiently. He seemed to see a sky full of banknotes flying towards him.
Emperor Shun said with pride: "Yes, the princess has cooperated with the eldest son of the Sun family to build a dyeing workshop and started to cultivate dyeing plants."
