I am engaged in construction in Datang

"Your Majesty, this tea can be regarded as a tribute." Xiao Yu took a sip and closed his eyes to enjoy it.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Tribute has always been a waste of money and labor, and lychees, a fruit with a short shelf life, are one of them. There is a famous poem about lychees in later generations: A horse gallops through the dusty world, and the concubines smile... What does it have to do with concubines? It is clear that tributes were selected according to the emperor's taste.

What Xiao Yu hated most was when someone contradicted him, so he would immediately confront them: "Duke Zheng, this kind of tea is the best in the world..."

"Do you know how this tea is produced? Will it occupy arable land? How much tea can a tea tree produce? If this tea takes up a lot of arable land and the yield is very low, how much less food will the local people have? Will they be able to eat enough? You..."

Wei Zheng was anxious and started talking fluently.

Fang Xuanling was drinking tea on the side, squinting his eyes and watching the two people arguing comfortably.

"Okay!" Li Shimin held his forehead.

When two people who are narrow-minded and have conflicting ideas get together, they are bound to quarrel.

"This tea is not difficult to make. The ingredients are ordinary tea leaves." Li Shimin said, "After some time, Liuweizhai will sell tea. It will be divided into five grades. Liuweizhai will sell the third grade, and the fourth and fifth grades will be sold by ordinary vendors."

"Oh, these of mine have no grade, they are royal tribute treasures."

Li Shimin began to show off, you guys can't drink it, this is prepared for me by my sister-in-law, and only my sister-in-law and Manager Feng are drinking this on the farm.

Fang Xuanling stopped watching. He opened his eyes and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this tea tastes very good. I am also fond of it. Can you reward me with two taels of tea so that I can take it home for your wife to taste?"

"..." Li Shimin's smile gradually froze. His sister only gave him two kilograms of this imperial tribute tea!

There were only two pounds of stock left in the village, and we gave them all to him.

Then he nodded, smiling, his hands trembling slightly: "Of course, I can, as long as you like it."

"Oh, it's not difficult to make." Wei Zheng's eyes lit up. It was his duty to prevent tea from becoming a tribute for the country and the people. Now that he knew tea was not rare, it would be easy.

After becoming a tribute, he will also be rewarded with this kind of tea!

You don’t have to go to Liuweizhai to buy it.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu breathed out through his nostrils, then gulped down a cup of tea, and poured another cup under Li Shimin's murderous gaze.

Li Shimin didn't want to discuss tea with them anymore, so he brought the teapot to his side and began to talk about the popularization of biogas digesters.

"Wang De, draw the picture and explain it."

Wang De put down the teapot in his hand, walked to the blackboard with his head held high and chest puffed out. “We prepared lessons all night yesterday and we’ll use them today.”

"Everyone, please look here. This is the feed inlet of the biogas digester..."

Half an hour later.

Li Shimin was faced with three confused and suspicious faces.

"Is this... really that magical?" Fang Xuanling felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted: "What is that bacteria? What is anaerobic?"

"Ah, Duke Liang, I've explained it to you several times, why can't I make it clear to you?"

Fang Xuanling: "..."

The biogas digester was thus settled.

When several people were leaving, Fang Xuanling stopped Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, may I go to the Nuzhuang to take a look?" He couldn't figure out the relationship between His Majesty and Nuzhuang, so it would be better to give a heads up in advance.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and he understood what Fang Xuanling meant.

In fact, he didn't plan to let too many people go to Nuzhuang. After all, there was something magical about the manor. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it, it would be disadvantageous to him.

You all go to make friends with the girls, what's the matter, do you want something?

However, he was mainly on guard against the royal family and his several sons. Without his permission, no one was allowed to come to the village.

Li Shimin agreed: "Don't reveal my identity. I am sworn brother to Master Li. Also, don't bring too many people."

Then give him a meaningful look.

Fang Xuanling thought about it and suddenly realized.

The next day.

"I'm still in mourning!" Changsun Wuji held his forehead with his hand. He was writing poems and drinking wine at home, and was enjoying himself when Fang Xuanling came to his house with a mysterious look on his face.

"Don't shout. I brought you here secretly this time."

Changsun Wuji was powerful and talented, and Fang Xuanling had always loved playing with him.

"Where to go?" Changsun Wuji also became interested. Is Lao Fang finally going to score again?

"Nuzhuang!"

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up. Could it be true...

"What are you thinking about!" Fang Xuanling glanced at it with disdain, and then told the story of the magic of Nuzhuang and the relationship between His Majesty and Nuzhuang.

"We don't need to hide, but we must help His Majesty hide his identity!"

"I know, I know." Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling jealously. The old man was showing off how he was the only one who had received the emperor's grace.

At the same time, at Duke Zheng’s Mansion.

"Ahhh~Ahhh...Duke Song, what are you forcing me to do?" Wei Zheng yelled, looking reluctant.

On the other side, Xiao Yu pulled Wei Zheng's robe and pushed him into the carriage.

Wei Zheng followed the force and slipped in.

Xiao Yu frowned, this hypocrite… He obviously wanted to go and take a look, but he pretended to be forced by me!

Just don't go. If His Majesty blames me later, I will first complain and say that it was Wei Zheng who wanted to go.

At the foot of Mount Li, Nvzhuang.

"Duke Zhao, Duke Liang, it is an honor for my humble manor to have you here." Feng San smiled happily.

The owner of the manor said yesterday that a big shot might come today. Sure enough, this is a very big shot!

The owner of the manor is very good at predicting things.

Today, the women's village prepared a big banquet, including braised lion's head, spicy rabbit meat, cumin lamb chops... as well as pearl milk tea, juice, and small cakes.

At this moment, there is still a morning every five days. There was a morning yesterday, but there will be no morning today or tomorrow.

"Turn on the heating for both courtyards, right next to Li Erniu's house." Li Yin pulled Xiaochun aside and said.

The two of them can't leave tonight.

Just as they sat down and before the food was served, Li Xiaoyang ran over panting.

"Master, Master!"

"Two Ah Langs are coming from outside the village!"

Li Yin paused and looked at Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji. Are you still divided into batches?

Fang Xuanling: "..."

"Let's go and take a look." Fang Xuanling forcibly pulled Zhangsun Wuji up. He wanted to see who the shameless one was! Or which two shameless ones!

Apart from him, there were only those two yesterday!

What a courage!

Li Yin arrived at the entrance of the village first and bowed to the two of them.

"My daughter Li Yin, the female owner of the manor, is here to greet you. May I know who you two are...?"

"I am..." Xiao Yu raised his head and was about to say his identity when he saw two familiar people approaching from afar.

The words paused.

Li Yin saw Fang Xuanling and the other man and bowed, "Duke Zhao, Duke Liang."

The two returned the gift.

Then he glanced at Wei Zheng and the other man at the entrance of the village.

His Majesty said that not too many people can come.

Wei Zheng responded quickly, with a gentle smile: "My surname is Zheng, my name is Zheng Wei, and I am a servant in the Secretariat."

"My surname is Yu, my given name is Xiao, and I'm a colleague of Zheng and Wei." Xiao Yu was unhappy because he was a step late!

Li Yin: “…”

Just treat me as stupid.

Feng Sanxi over there was really stupid, he was still happy that two more servants had arrived!

But it's not his fault. How could ordinary people think of that? It's hard to say whether you have heard of the name Wei Zheng.
