"Oh? Lord Hou, but you have orders, Zheng must cooperate fully!"

Yunshan Courtyard.

Hearing that Li Zexuan wanted to do tea business, and he needed the help of

others, Zheng Yinhong's expression changed and he quickly bowed his hands.

"I'm willing to help Master Hou!"

Cao Wendong and others also bowed their hands.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Okay! With your help, I will be more confident in

doing this tea business! First of all, we must solve the problem of the source

of tea. The dry weather in the north is not suitable for the growth of tea

trees, so this tea It must be picked from the south!"

Speaking of this, Li Zexuan looked at Zheng Yinhong and said: "The Lord sent

this tea to the palace yesterday. After tasting the tea, he liked it very

much. He decided to list the fairy tea as a tribute tea, so the tea needed in

the palace in the future , The owner Zheng needs to be responsible for

collecting in the Jiangnan area!"

"Tribute tea?"

Several people were shocked, and there was a huge wave in their hearts, but

Zheng Yinhong's complexion changed and said: "Hou Ye, Shenxian tea is listed

as tribute tea, which certainly shows that its quality is unparalleled in the

world, but once it is listed as tribute tea , This shouldn’t be sold freely

among the people!"

After hearing this, Cao Wendong nodded his head in agreement and said, "Master

Hou, what the owner Zheng said is right! Once the fairy tea is listed as

tribute tea, how can people enjoy it at will?"

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say that. Today's

sage loves the people like his son, and likes to have fun with the people the

most. Besides, we can make a batch of top-notch tea for the imperial palace.

Later, it will be sold in the private sector. Then, thanks to the reputation

of tribute tea, Shenxian tea will not be able to sell as much!"

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no strict restrictions on court tribute. As

long as the tribute was handed over to the court on time in various places, it

did not mean that once something was listed as a tribute, it must not be. For

example, cucumbers were sold in the private sector. They were tributes before

and during the Tang Dynasty, but couldn't the civilians eat them? Obviously

not, as long as you have money, you can definitely buy it!

As for the court tribute tea, there is no precedent for this before. Zheng

Yinhong and others are completely out of a foolproof attitude to have this

worry!

"Master Hou is a clever trick. It's just this fairy tea, can it be divided

into three or six or nine grades?"

Feng Zhihua stroked his beard, wondering.

The tea they drank before was all ground and mixed with spices and cooked. How

can there be any concept of tea grading?

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "This tea can of course be divided into

three, six or nine grades. Generally speaking, the shorter and more tender the

buds and leaves, and the smaller the angle between the buds and leaves, the

better the quality of such tea! The top fresh tea leaves must have one bud and

one leaf. The angle between the buds and leaves is small, the buds are longer

than the leaves, the buds and leaves are uniform and strong, and the length of

the buds and leaves should not exceed one inch.

In addition, the method of frying should be exquisite. In my opinion, the tea

leaves after frying should be flat and smooth, nice and sharp, tender and

fresh, even and heavy, and the bud peaks should be revealed. In this way, the

top fresh tea leaves should be topped with top quality. The method of frying,

naturally becomes the top fairy tea!

Using this top-quality fairy tea as a tribute, and selling the other slightly

inferior teas, not only preserves the face of the saint, but also allows

everyone in the world to taste the delicacy of the fairy tea. It can be

described as killing two birds with one stone! "

Hearing this, everyone nodded, thinking that this plan was a good idea!

Zheng Yinhong even more convincingly said: "Hou Ye's research and

accomplishments in tea ceremony can be called a generation of masters. Zheng

used to believe that he had studied tea ceremony quite a bit, but today he

heard what Hou Ye said. It's a frog at the bottom of the well!"

"Eh~! Don't say that. Zhuang Master Zheng, in fact, I learned these things

from his master, and they are not his own skills!"

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu, Ben Hou wants to establish

a tea plantation in Jiangnan, but Ben Hou has been in Chang'an for many years,

and there is no time to manage the tea plantation, so..."

"As long as Master Hou can trust Zheng, Zheng is willing to manage the tea

garden for Master Hou!"

As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, Zheng Yinhong immediately answered.

Cao Wendong and others are silent at this moment. Although they have business

dealings with the south, they are not southerners after all. Unlike Zheng

Yinhong, who has a huge foundation and extensive network in the south, they go

to the south to help Li Zexuan. Tea garden, they are more than willing but not

enough!

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and said: "The kindness of Zhuang Zhuangzhu, Benhou

has received it! It's not that I can’t believe it, but because Zhuang Zhuang

is so troubled, Benhou will feel sorry for him! So Benhou wants to open a

fairy tea garden with Zhuang Zhuang, specifically Picking and frying Shenxian

tea, and Benhou is willing to share the frying method of Shenxian tea. Let's

build the largest, most famous and top tea garden together!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

Everyone did not expect that Li Zexuan was willing to share the fry method of

Shenxian tea. You must know that with the reputation of tribute tea and the

high-quality taste and taste of Shenxian tea itself, as long as Li Zexuan

solves the source of tea, Rely on tea to earn endless wealth! After all, in

the entire Datang, no tea merchant can come up with tea that can compete with

Shenxian tea, so naturally there is no way to compete with Li Zexuan!

Zheng Yinhong is not a person who has never seen the world before, but at this

moment he still can't help showing a touch of movement. He hurriedly bowed and

said, "How can Zheng, and Master Hou be open together? Build a tea plantation?

If Master Hou has the needs, Zheng is willing to help Master Hou with all his

strength, and Master Hou’s tea-frying method, Zheng will definitely not covet

it!"

As a person who has seen the big scene, Zheng Yinhong still kept his heart in

the face of huge interests. He is not stupid. Don't look at him in the

Jiangnan sea of business. But Li Zexuan is a prince of the country and wants

to pinch him to death. It's as easy as squeezing an ant. After all, the

division of the social hierarchy of people, farmers, industry and commerce is

not a joke. Therefore, his thoughts changed sharply, he considered it

seriously, and rejected this attractive proposal!

Seeing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart, then he

looked at Zheng Yinhong with a smile but a smile, and said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu,

you are a businessman. We are now talking about business. It is fair to do

business. You free help. It's not like doing business when Benhou opened a tea

garden!

You should know that Benhou is not short of money, and he doesn’t like to

overpower others. So if you are willing to help in this tea garden, Benhou

will divide you 40% of the stock, and the future income of the tea garden will

divide you 40%. If you don't want to help, it doesn't matter, Benhou just find

someone else! "

Faced with such generous conditions offered by Li Zexuan, everyone present was

heartbroken. Cao Wendong and others all cast envy at Zheng Yinhong.

Zheng Yinhong's eyebrows remained silent. From his frowning brows and stern

face, it could be seen that he was struggling violently in his heart. After a

long silence, Zheng Yinhong finally spoke and bowed to Li Zexuan:

"Master Hou is upright and righteous, and has a kind heart, and Zheng admires

it! Since Master Hou treats me sincerely, the old man Zheng Yinhong swears

here today that he will do his best to manage the tea garden for Master Hou

from generation to generation. If there is betrayal, I hope the men of the

Zheng family will be slaves for generations and the women will be prostitutes

for generations!"

He understood that to obtain Li Zexuan's secret method of tea frying, he had

to be loyal to Li Zexuan, and to make Li Zexuan completely believe in him, so

he made this oath!

Everyone was shocked, and Li Zexuan couldn't help his expressions move

slightly. You must know that the ancients attached great importance to the

heavens, the ghosts and the gods, and the oaths. No one dared to swear

casually, and no one would directly take his offspring to Zheng Yinhong.

Future generations swear!

Li Zexuan hurriedly helped Zheng Yinhong up and said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu does

not need to be like this. The Zheng family has been doing business in the

south of the Yangtze River for generations and believes most. Who does not

know the trust of Zheng Zhuangzhu? Who does not?"

To be honest, there are two main reasons why he can share the secret recipe of

fried tea so easily: First, his method of fried tea is not difficult to learn.

Once Shenxian tea is launched, the world’s tea merchants can definitely work

together Within a year, he figured out his method of fried tea. Instead of

keeping the secret of fried tea, it is better to monopolize all the high-

quality tea gardens in Jiangnan when the tea market is still blank. In this

way, Zheng Yinhong is absolutely inseparable. "Snake"

Second, Li Zexuan actually didn’t plan to do tea business at the beginning. At

most, he wanted to fry a small amount of tea for himself and give to people

around him. He is now dedicated to advancing Datang’s basic technology and

does not want to spend time making money. These tea business money! He is not

short of money! However, Li Er listed Shenxian tea as a tribute tea, and let

him be responsible for the tea supply of the palace in the future. Since he

decided to be a "licking dog" yesterday, he had to "lick" it to the end. And

he has no time, so he can only "delegate power" to Zheng Yinhong and the

others!

Anyway, he relied on his current position, Zheng Yinhong did not dare to

betray him, he believed that Zheng Yinhong was a smart man!

Now, Zheng Yinhong made this heavy oath to make him more certain that his

judgment was correct!

Cao Wendong, who was on the side, also nodded at this moment, and echoed: "The

Zheng family is the most trustworthy in the business field, and everyone knows

this!"

Zheng Yinhong glanced at Cao Wendong with gratitude, and then handed over to

Li Zexuan: "Master Hou is so sincere, but Zheng can't help but praise him.

Zheng can only take 30% of the shares of the gods tea garden. If Master Hou is

unwilling, then Zheng You can only forgive the hardship! But Zheng has an

unrelenting request, I hope Master Hou can agree!"

"Oh? Villa Master Zheng, please say!"

Li Zexuan's expression moved slightly, and he said curiously.

Zheng Yinhong said solemnly: "Zheng knows that Lord Hou has established a

Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and he has been fascinated. I wonder if Lord Hou

can also let Zheng join this Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?"

After 10% of the shares of Shenxian Tea Garden, exchange for a member of

Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, in the long run, he is still a bit at a loss.

After all, the future potential of Shenxian Tea Garden is infinite! However,

the reason why he made this suggestion is mainly because the dry shares of 40%

of the gods tea garden are too hot, and 10% is divided out to ask for a member

of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which can not only protect the life

clearly, but also broaden the way for the Zheng family!

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Ben Hou has no opinion,

but I have an idea here. Ben Hou takes out 10% of the shares of the gods’ tea

garden. You can discuss it with Mr. Cao, Mr. Lin and Mr. Feng. In total, I

took out 10% of the original stocks of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and

distributed them to the owner of Zheng Zheng. As a reward, you would split the

stocks of the gods tea garden equally according to the corresponding

proportion. How about?"

The first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce were determined

by auction. The proportion of dry shares held by each person was determined

according to the proportion of the money they paid, and the amount of goods

they would receive from the workshop later , Is directly linked to the dry

shares of the Chamber of Commerce held by them.

To put it simply, Li Zexuan is now using 10% of the dry shares of the gods tea

garden that Zheng Yinhong gave up to exchange 10% of the dry shares of the

Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce with Cao Wendong and others. Anyway, this wave of

exchanges, he will definitely not lose, he still controls the six. Into the

tea garden dry shares!

Cao Wendong and others looked at each other, nodded to each other, and said

one after another: "I wish to follow the arrangements of Lord Hou!"

They are not stupid either. The goods Zheng Yinhong distributed from the

Qiquge Workshop are to be transported to the south of the Yangtze River for

sale, which does not conflict with their business at all! On the contrary,

they can get involved in the tea business after they own the dry shares of tea

gardens, and they could not get the dry shares of tea gardens, because their

connections can't help Li Zexuan build a tea garden, but now Li Zexuan Give

them a chance, how could they better seize it?

Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This way, everyone will be

happy! Later, I will mark some of the best tea gardens on the map. At that

time, Mr. Zheng will help open tea gardens in these places, as for the

construction of tea gardens. The cost of this will be borne by us!"

Zheng Yinhong said: "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan smiled, then picked up the tea cup, and said, "Come on, everyone

uses tea instead of wine to celebrate our Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has

added a new member today!"

……………………………

After discussing the construction of the tea garden, Zheng Yinhong took the

map that Li Zexuan gave him that afternoon and set off for Jiangnan and

Chang'an City. He asked Zheng Qianjun to stay and look after the team.

The map given to him by Li Zexuan ~www.mtlnovel.com~ marked the best tea

plantation sites. These locations are almost all places where Longjing tea is

rich in previous life, such as Shifeng Mountain, Longjing Mountain, Qipan

Mountain, Shangtianzhu, Wengjiashan , Yangmeiling, Manjuelong, Baihe Peak and

dozens of peaks. Li Zexuan wanted to rely on the memory of his previous life

to quickly monopolize the producing areas of these high-quality teas. Even if

someone later finds out a high-quality tea-frying method, the quality of the

tea will be far inferior to the fairy tea!

Of course, in addition to the task of building tea gardens, Zheng Yinhong

returned to Jiangnan this time. The top priority is to go to the existing tea

mountains and send people to pick a batch of fresh tea as soon as possible to

make tribute tea. As for the fairy tea gardens, it is estimated that they will

have to wait until they want to produce tea. Next year, after all, we have to

transplant tea trees!
