The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 28:

Ling Wei’s frying is naturally unfermented green tea. In addition to green tea, there are also yellow tea, white tea, green tea and dark tea, among which green tea is oolong tea. The craftsmanship of oolong tea is the most complicated and the brewing method is the most exquisite. Ling Wei decided to put it in the final consideration, and then use it to force it.

Drinking oolong tea is called drinking Kung Fu tea, which shows how cumbersome it is. A full set of kung fu is no simpler than the Japanese tea ceremony.

Of course, there are complex drinking methods, simple drinking methods and simple drinking methods. Most people still put the tea in the quilt and rinse with boiling water…

It seems that Li Ying has also developed an interest outside of martial arts, and when he has free time, he and Ling Wei are thinking about making other types of tea.

In this way, as long as the two have free time, they spend most of their time working together on tea matters.

The hard work paid off, and when they were busy until the summer, the two really figured out several types of tea.

Li Ying did not agree to Ling Wei’s intention to sell him the method of fried tea. In his opinion, although most of the tea gardens are in the names of powerful and powerful people, they are not unavailable to the extent that Ling Wei is favored by the emperor. He cannot take advantage of Ling Wei.

“Yingfei’s words are not right.” Ling Wei explained, “I can not make this tea alone? Didn’t Yingfei count all the time spent on it? Speaking of which, I took advantage of Yingfei’s advantage. Even with this method, I can only take half of the credit at most.”

Seeing that Li Yin still refused, Ling Wei continued: “I am the one who bothers the most trivial things. Even if I give me a garden, I can’t manage it well. Let me sit and wait for the money to be unsuccessful. Besides, this recipe is made. For tea, it is also necessary to choose good tea. If Yingfei is convenient, he can dedicate this method to his majesty, and it can also create some income for the treasury.”

Li Yin sighed: “Since Jintang has said this, I have nothing to say. But from now on, the income of my tea garden will be divided into half. Don’t refuse Jintang, otherwise I will be uneasy.”

Ling Wei fidgeted: “Half is too much, right? One achievement is pretty good.”

Li Yin shook his head: “I don’t lack the money. On the contrary, Jintang has been separated and will use money a lot in the future. Although many people don’t like money as a vulgar thing, it is always sad to have no money.”

Ling Wei smiled and said, “Of course I know that money is a good thing. I didn’t expect Yingfei to be a layman just like me.”

“You can use soldiers in war. No money or food is impossible.” Li Yin sighed.

Ling Wei nodded: “Military pay is indeed a big problem. But now that the country is in peace, the soldiers on the frontier will cross over as better.”

“I hope so.” Li Yin said, “If Jintang has other ways to make money, you can also tell me that I will still give half of it to Jintang.”

“…I’m so embarrassed.” Ling Wei touched his nose.

Li Ying said, “If Jintang didn’t exist, I couldn’t think of these ways. I just contributed some manpower and material resources. If Jintang did it by herself, it would be possible to do it well.”

Even though Li Ying said so, how could Ling Wei not be able to hear the meaning of help? Ling Wei was moved. Qin|The prince is really a good man. Although Qin|The prince may really have no shortage of this little money, to him, it is tantamount to giving charcoal in snow.

Although he was divided a lot of things after the separation, because his parents were still alive, it was naturally impossible to distribute most of his parents’ things to him. What he can get is some industries and some money in Beijing.

Ling Wei was very happy just when he saw what he had gotten. After I really separated my family and started interpersonal relationships, I realized that the money, when spent, was really like running water, and it was gone.

Large households have the habit of storing grain in their homes, so as not to encounter natural and man-made disasters when there is no harvest. In particular, it hasn’t been stable for many years, and all households have put grain storage as their top priority. When the land that Ling Wei had allocated had not yet been harvested, the grain he was eating was still allocated when the family was separated.

If both parents die, the private property of the family, he and Ling Yun should be one and half. But the parents are there, and the parents have the final say. Although generally speaking, parents will be fair on the surface.

But Ling Wu is no ordinary person.

Ordinary people will not divide the outstanding and favored sons of the emperor while they are still alive.

So what Ling Wei got was actually very unfair. Ling Wu left most of his property, and only divided half of the land and shops in Beijing to Ling Wei. The foundation of the Lu Kingdom is in the southeast, and there are not many good fields and shops in the middle of Beijing.

And Ling Wei didn’t get any valuable treasures like wealth and silver, and Ling Wu had to keep it for his own use. So Ling Wei only got more than one million taels of silver and more than half a million pennies. And most of it was after Princess Chang Le knew about the separation of the family, from the dowry

Take out the money at the bottom of the box for subsidies. According to Ling Wu’s division method, Ling Wei can only have three to four hundred thousand taels of silver at most.

There are many treasures in the dowry in Princess Chang Le’s hands, but she herself follows Ling Wu, a person with a problem with her head, walking on thin ice every day, and she cannot have nothing in her hand. After her death, the dowry will of course be divided equally between the two sons, but before death, neither Ling Yun nor Ling Wei could have the idea of hitting what was in the hands of their poor mother.

It was not easy for Princess Chang Le to give so much silver to Ling Wei.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the private sector, copper coins are basically used for transactions, and silver is only used when buying bulk goods (such as a large number of fields and houses) or paying taxes, and is not used as a currency in the private sector. At this time, there were not many silver mines in Yan Chao, so the exchange of silver and copper coins was more expensive than in the early Qing Dynasty. One or two silver can be exchanged for about half a coin, and about 1,500 yuan. Twenty taels of silver can make a small family comfortable for a year.

So Ling Wei thought he would be very moisturized before.

However, this is not the case…because his foundation is really too thin, and his exchanges of friendship are a lot of money every year. Neither the income from Zhuangzi nor the shop is enough for his expenses. Although it looks pretty good now, it is not always the case that Yin Chi Maoliang is not. A way. After he became an official in the imperial examination, he got to know more and more people and spent more and more money. Apart from other things, those items and even treasures that he gave during the New Year holidays, he didn’t own them, and they all had to be bought with money.

But increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is not an easy task. In this era of income, officials’ salaries are only a small part. Most of them are the operation of fields and shops (of course the shops are under the names of subordinates), and there are also “filial piety” given by other businessmen after they “linked”.

However, there are many nobles in the capital, and if a bamboo pole is smashed down, two or three officials can be hit, and the benefits that can be divided are almost divided. The wealthy businessmen in the family have long since found people to rely on, and the shops in good locations and good land have long been in the hands of others, and they cannot be bought with money.

As for buying land in other places, the people and things in Ling Wei’s capital are not straightened out, and there is really no manpower and energy to open up financial avenues outside.

Ling Wei wanted to save a little bit, but it would be disrespectful for someone like him who often enters the palace to wear shabby clothes. What’s more, some people don’t like it after the separation of their own families. If they don’t have enough confidence outside, then there may be people who don’t look long and bully the door.

It’s sad to think about it.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei didn’t know how large the tea plantation under Li Ying was. When he wanted to come, Li Yin was in the frontier all year round, and he was not like a person who was good at taking care of vulgar things. Especially tea gardens, which are time-consuming and laborious to maintain, I guess you don’t like it even more, right? However, no matter how much the income is, it is a huge income for him.

Ling Wei thought about it. If you have any novel ideas in the future, let’s open a store in partnership with Li Ying. He does not have a good shop, Li Ying has; he has no useful people, Li Ying has; his fists are not big enough, but Li Ying is the emperor’s favorite and trusted lord. In this way, he only cares about making money, making a lot of money, and he is not afraid of being jealous.

Thinking of this bright future, Ling Wei finally agreed to Li Yin’s “half each” method, and promised to tell Li Yin if he had any good ideas in the future.

Of course, in the subsequent development, Ling Wei didn’t know whether to say that he was greedy for petty gains and suffered big losses, or if he took advantage of the big gains.

Anyway, when he saw Li Ying handing half of the land deed to the tea garden to his hand, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Scared.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Hahaha, I heard that the youngest member divided half of the tea garden for you?” Li Li drank the tea leaves offered by Ling Wei and laughed loudly, “You can.”

Ling Wei smiled bitterly: “The minister gave the prince the prescription, and the prince said that he would give half of the proceeds from the court’s tea garden… the minister and the minister thought that the prince was in that garden.”

Who knows so much! ! Who knows there are all over the country! ! Who knows how half of the income can be turned into half of the land lease! ! The heart is so scared to stop! !

Ling Wei wiped his face and said in grief: “The minister wants to return the title deed to the prince, but the prince did not allow the guard of the palace to open the door to the minister! He actually shut the minister out! He even went to the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing. came back!”

Li Li laughed out of breath: “The palace guard doesn’t open the door for you, so you just knock every day? Did you know? The capital said that you offended the youngest one, and many people are planning to cut you off. Friendship. I thought you were pretty popular when you were separated. If it weren’t for you and the youngest

I don’t know that you are not so likable even after making such a fuss. ”

Ling Wei said innocently: “The minister is not gold, how can people be loved. Even if gold, some people say it is tacky. After the minister came back, he did not have too much contact with other people except for studying and entering the palace. Whether it is likable or annoying, there is no chance.”

“That’s true. Others hate you or like you, it really has nothing to do with you.” Li Li smiled, “You see it thoroughly.”

“Your Majesty, can you return the title deed to the prince to help the minister?” Ling Wei said with a bitter face, “The minister is holding this thing, sleeping and eating.”

Li Li smiled and waved his hand: “Give it to you the youngest, you just take it. Even if you don’t give it to you, he doesn’t take care of it at ordinary times. I send someone to take care of it. You said the youngest person, I give it to you. He is in the Zhuangzi shop in the field, he just looks like he wants it or not, and he doesn’t take care of it well, so I want to help him watch it.”

Speaking of this, Li Li started chattering. He was able to take care of his own things since Li Yan was a child, well, when he was still walking unsteadily, he would give him all the good things, and he would take care of them. It has been said that Li Ying has no other hobbies when he is out of the army to fight wars, and he has nothing to do with vulgar things. His past is simpler than ordinary officials in Beijing. He looks sad and rewards like this, but this is nothing. So he has to reward people to take care of it specially, and even the account books must be watched specially.

“He just can’t take care of himself at all!” His Majesty concluded heartily, “If I don’t send someone to watch, he can take care of all the properties!”

Ling Wei has a black line in his heart. He felt that Li Ying, who could say “the theory of the usefulness of money”, shouldn’t be like this. In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, Li Ying seems to be incomprehensible at all. Ling Wei didn’t know whether this was Li Ying’s trust in His Majesty the Emperor, or his distrust, anyway, there was no room for him to speak.

“I’ll give it to you, I can’t take care of him for the rest of my life.” Li Li frowned, “Since he gave you half of the land lease, you can help him read the account books.”

“… Isn’t this bad?” Ling Wei was embarrassed.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t this tea garden half of you?” Li Li glared with a beard.

Is that right? Is it really?

Ling Wei was so dazed by the emperor that he walked out of the palace gate and hadn’t been stunned.

He originally wanted to ask His Majesty the Emperor to return the half of the land lease to Li Yin for him, but how did this happen to him helping Li Yin look at the account books? Isn’t that right?

This is not right!

Ling Wei sat in the carriage and bumped his head into the carriage of the carriage. What the **** are these two brothers doing? I always feel very upset.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After sending Ling Wei away, Li Li’s face sank suddenly: “Youngest, Jintang is a good boy.”

Li Ying, who was supposed to be in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, walked out from behind the screen and calmly said, “I know.”

“You know? Yes, you know, if you don’t know, you won’t…” Li Li gritted his teeth, “Jintang was miserable in his childhood, and after nine deaths, he finally returned to Dayan. After returning, he didn’t enjoy the blessing for a few years. He was divided by Ling Wu’s old man. Even so, he has no regrets.”

“I know.” Li Ying continued calmly.

“Yes, yes, you know, you know all.” Li Li glared at Li Ying fiercely, and then seemed to lose all his strength, leaning against the back of the chair with his hands on the armrest, and slowly closing it. Eyes, “It’s nothing more, it’s all my fault, if it weren’t for my failure to protect you…”

Li Yin frowned and said, “This is not the fault of the emperor’s brother. It’s just that I don’t love women anymore. If I can get one-hearted people, it’s the best. If I can’t, it doesn’t matter. I still have the emperor’s brother.”

“Come on, you remember what you are saying now. If Jintang can accept you, I will naturally help you. But if Jintang is older and wants to marry a biological child, you must not stop it.” Li Li smiled bitterly, “Jintang is already After suffering so much, if you really value him, don’t cause him trouble.”

“That’s natural.” Li Yin agreed without hesitation.

“Jintang is indeed good. Regardless of gender, you have a good vision.” Li Li smiled bitterly. “Broadly knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and passionate about the ancient ways, even for the royal family, he has a rare innocence. It is rare. Regard me as an elder, not a king. To Qichen and the others

It is also very good. Even if I know that Qichen, as the prince, it is not right to rely too much on outsiders, but I can’t bear to alienate them. ”

“After Qichen and Jintang got acquainted, they became more and more like princes. The emperor should be happy.” Li Yin replied.

Li Li finally showed a relaxed smile: “That’s true. Although I have not studied the course of Qichen at the school, I don’t need more in terms of opinions and understanding of practice than his brothers. Let, even better fit the people’s livelihood. Qichen’s riding and shooting are getting better and better, um, more and more my appearance.”

Seeing Li Li’s triumphant stupid father, Li Yin also smiled: “Jintang is very good at teaching students, and very good at raising children.”

“So you have the heart to let him have no children of his own?” Li Lihu said with a face.

Li Ping raised his face: “If Jintang wants to marry, I will naturally not overstep it and just be a best friend for a lifetime. Moreover, with Jintang’s character, even if I marry in the future, I will not be greedy. Jintang, don’t worry too.”

Li Li frowned: “That’s true. I think Jintang must be frowning now, thinking about how to make your tea garden a little bit more, at least half of the revenue should exceed the original total revenue, otherwise he will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. Hehe , What a silly boy.”

Li Yin thought about Ling Wei’s irritable way of wandering around his door, and couldn’t help showing a shy smile.

There was another sigh in Li Li’s heart. This character hasn’t been written yet, how could the youngest boast that he was a daughter-in-law, he was embarrassed.

That sadness in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor. Li Yin’s business was originally a thorn in his heart. If Li Yin can find the right person, don’t be alone and die, he will naturally be happy. But on the other hand, he does treat Ling Wei as a close nephew. If Ling Wei cannot lead a normal life because of Li Bin in the future, he feels very sorry for Ling Wei and feels very heartbroken.

But after all, he is closer to Li Yin, so he can only close one eye to Li Yin’s behavior, alas.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“You are finally willing to come back from the barracks.” Ling Wei said gloomily.

Li Yin was embarrassed and said, “Recently, I have been busy with official business.”

Ling Wei looked at Li Ying who was telling lies, gritted his teeth and stared at him for a long time. In the end, given the identity of the opposing prince and the reason why his strength value was negative five scum in front of him, he gave up the attempt to cut him twice.

“Look at this!” Ling Wei patted the table.

Seeing that Ling Wei was still angry, Li Ying leaned forward in disbelief, “What?”

Ling Wei is spreading on the table. It took him a long time to write a report on how to make the tea garden bigger and stronger. It wrote some modern management and marketing strategies. The main idea is that the tea-fried tea method will definitely be Under the premise of spreading out, how to make the brand of our own tea garden, let everyone think of their own tea when they talk about tea, their own tea, they represent noble, elegant and high-standard.

Ling Wei did not study economics, nor did he do business. These things were pieced together based on his own memory. Anyway, what he reads is all written like this, so many people write, somehow it will be a little useful, right? He, a modern person who doesn’t know how to be a voice, can only fool the ancients through modern thinking and various sales strategies and messages accepted under the information explosion.

Well, looking at Li Yin’s thoughtful look, should his own writing still be feasible? □?

“Jintang really knows everything.” After a long while, Li Ying sighed, “I will call in the steward of the tea garden. I will trouble Jintang to talk about it.”

“I want to study! No time!” Ling Wei was angry when he thought of it. Does he look idle? Is it leisurely? Is it really idle? ! Okay, it’s a bit idler than this real power prince, but I’m also very busy! To study and prepare for the imperial examination, but also to enlighten the little princes! Very very busy!

“Jintang only needs to give orders at the beginning, and occasionally call them to ask questions. Even the books are calculated by them. Just look at the income.” Li Yin said, “If the income is not good, no matter what they find Whatever excuses are, just change the job. We don’t lack people.”

Uh, survival of the fittest. Okay, I’m short of people, but you’re not short of…Ling Wei’s belly slander.

“It’s just that your majesty’s person was in charge of the ledger…Is that okay?” Ling Wei suddenly remembered that Li Yan’s previous industries were all under his majesty’s escrow. Maybe this is Li Yan’s move to reassure his majesty? Isn’t it a bad idea for him to intervene like this?

Although Ling Wei’s words are vague, Li Ying has been exposed to this kind of remarks a lot, and the way of nature is Ling Wei’s unfinished words. He smiled and said: “In the past, I was in the frontier, and there was no trusted person to take care of these industries in the Central Plains. I had to ask the emperor brother to send someone to take care of it. After all, the only person I trust is the emperor. But the emperor has always been annoying. , Said that he is busy with major affairs in his country, and he has to take care of these trivial matters for me. Now that Jintang can share the burden for me, Brother Huang is very happy. I don’t want Brother Huang to point to me and say, it’s so big, Brothers also need to help look after the house.”

“That’s it.” Ling Wei knew it. This corresponds to his first conjecture. The relationship between Your Majesty and Li Ying is not distrust, but too faith.

Anymore.

However, is there something wrong with changing from a brother looking after the house to being an outsider looking after him? Ling Wei was suspicious. But looking at Li Ying’s take for granted, it seems that he is suspicious?

Are you really suspicious?
