Mrs. Quanfu wants to leave

Lu Wulang did not touch the cup of tea from beginning to end.

"I didn't agree with Xiao Shiyuan's marriage from the very beginning. You are not in the same way, so you can't go together."

"I don't know enough about He Niang that it's really my fault, but if it is said that we are not the same way, then I don't agree, and I still want to go with He Niang."

Lu Wulang raised his eyelids, "Why make things difficult for each other."

Shen Nanxun remained firm, "I won't make things difficult, and I won't make things difficult for He Niang either."

After speaking, Shen Nanxun wanted to get up and leave, but was held back by Lu Silang.

"He Niang has really not been happy these years. If you are destined to stay together in the future, you really need to change."

After finishing speaking, he explained, "Although what Wu Lang said is not pleasant, it is also true. You two have different temperaments and habits. You are a man, so be more considerate and tolerant."

In terms of tolerance, Shen Nanxun is still tolerant, but he has grown up so much, he has never had a particularly close relationship with women, and neither has his elders, so when it comes to how to be considerate of He Niang, he has indeed done a very bad job.

Shen Nanxun solemnly responded, but did not speak again.

Over there, Lu Silang and Lu Wulang talked about tea.

In June, this year's new tea was already available, and the two brothers talked about the price of spring tea.

"Spring came late this year in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the new tea was half a month late, but the price is higher than in previous years." Lu Wulang said.

Lu Silang has no research on tea, but he is very sensitive to the price of tea. "This year, group tea is very popular, but sliced ​​tea is not."

Needless to say, there are many types of tea, not only green tea, but also oolong tea, white tea, black tea, dark tea, etc. There are a certain number of tea shapes in the market today.

There are generally three kinds of tea, group tea, sliced ​​tea and three teas. Among them, group tea is generally a relatively rare good tea, and the price is also higher. It is mainly used for tribute and drinking by high-end nobles. The most famous one is probably Longfeng group tea. up.

Pieces of tea are commonly used by rich households and those who have surplus production, and teahouses also use flakes of tea.

As for loose tea, it is used by ordinary people or roadside tea houses.

The price is also reduced at one time. Good group tea can be worth thousands of gold, while ordinary loose tea can cost a few dollars per catty.

"Hangzhou is also late this year, not in time for the Qingming Suburban Festival. This year, we use Jian'an new tea." Lu Silang said.

Lu Wulang sighed, "Jian'an is three thousand miles away, and the capital tastes new tea in March. It seems that Jiancha is about to rise."

"If it still snows in January in Jiangnan in the next two years, then Jiancha will soon replace it."

Tea is produced everywhere in Dayong, mainly on Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, Jinghu Road, Liangzhe Road and Hefujian Road, among which Jiangnan Road and Liangzhe Road are the most, and most of the tribute tea comes from these two places.

It’s just that in recent years, Jiangnan Road and Liangzhe Road have warmed up late in spring, so spring tea picking has been delayed by a ten-day period, and it has not been able to catch up with the official Qingming Festival. Because Fujian Road is closer to the south, it is also warmer. Earlier than Jiangnan, Jian'an tribute tea has been used for Qingming sacrifices for two consecutive years.

Although it was only two years ago, the world still regards Jiangnan and Liangzhe tea as the most respected, but the world has no memory. As long as the officials use Jian'an tea for Qingming sacrifices in another two or three years, Jian'an tea will soon be sought after by the world.

The tea market has its own set number, Jian'an tea is sought after, and Jiangnan tea will inevitably receive some cold reception.

Lu Wulang sat up straight, "Let's go to Fujian Road."

Lu Silang was sure that Lu Wulang didn't know about becoming an official, "Want to see Jiancha?"

Lu Wulang thought for a while, "Going to find an errand?"

Shen Nanxun has been listening to their words. Shen Nanxun knows very little about tea. He knows that the world loves tea, but he was born in a military camp, and tea is not a necessity for him.

The seven things to open the door are firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. As far as Shen Nanxun is concerned, he only pays attention to rice and salt. As for the others, they are all icing on the cake.

But it's not that he doesn't understand tea at all, at least he knows that there are three things in the official business, salt and iron tea. In fact, he has never understood why tea should be government-run.

Now, he has found some ways.

The matter of tea played a pivotal role in trade, especially with foreign countries. The Tubo and Uighur tribes were even willing to exchange horses for tea.

Another point is that in terms of taxation, the most important thing in Dayong is not the commercial tax or the salt tax, but the tea tax!

The high price of salt hurts the people, but the high price of tea does not seem to have much impact, because those who can afford good tea are rich people, and they will no longer pay 500 taels or 800 taels.

Shen Nanxun paid attention to two things in his life, Shen Jiajun and Lu Fenghe, but in these two things, he only paid attention to horses, food and money.

But if he really wants to ascend to a high position, I'm afraid these three things are far from enough, just like what Lu Sanye said, besides Yan and Shen Jiajun, he has nothing else.

Not what else he has, but what else he knows.

Shen Nanxun didn't understand and asked, "How about Jian'an tea instead of Jiangnan tea party?"

Lu Wulang is very thoughtful about this matter,

"Tea is expensive, and money and rich people go to Fujian Road. There is a Haimao entrance on Fujian Road. In this way, more money goes to the market. There is also a fixed amount of money on the market. The more you go to Fujian Road. If there are more roads, there will be fewer other roads left, and as time goes by, I am afraid that the most prosperous city is not Kyoto or Jiangning, but Fuzhou."

Shen Nanxun didn't understand, the money went to Fujian Road, what would happen if there was less money on Jiangnan Road.

"Dalang, you are a foodie and don't care about your own business. You can't just look at some things on the surface." Lu Silang said.

"With less money in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be less taxation. In fact, this has no effect on the people of Liming, but there are fewer people going to and from the south of the Yangtze River to do business, and the people can find less livelihood. Even the profits from the farmers' fields may not be sold. .”

The market is always intertwined, and the economy is in a downturn. With fewer merchants coming and going, the money in the hands of the common people will also decrease. In this way, the money spent by the common people will be gone, and the small traders will not be able to earn money. He also wouldn't go to a firm to do business. If things go on like this, it's not impossible that Jiangnan will be lonely.

Shen Nanxun doesn't do much business. The business under his name is also an ordinary shop, or he doesn't pay attention to profit in order to collect information.

Shen Nanxun reconsidered the Chengdu Mansion and Mengle Department that Sanye Lu told him, and there must always be a reason to link these places together, otherwise even if he had his own people, it would be a mess without a reason.

"I wonder if the two uncles know anything about the Chengdu Mansion and the Mengle Department."

Lu Wulang is good at poetry, "Chengdu Mansion, the road to Shu is as difficult as going up to the blue sky, with beautiful mountains and rivers, I am yearning for it."

"Chengdu Plain, a land of fish and rice, all talented people from all over the world went to Shu, and several emperors were lucky to get Shu."

In the blessed land of the emperor, Shen Nanxun grasped the key point.

"Please tell my brother clearly."

"There are quite a few literati and poets who wrote about the land of Shu. Some wrote about landscapes and countryside, some wrote about the peace and tranquility, and some wrote about the ministers of Shu in the Three Kingdoms. As for the emperors, let alone the faraway ones. In the previous dynasty, there were emperors who avoided disasters in Shu because of the turmoil in the capital. Is it? Who knows that the king's journey is difficult, but the six dragons and the west are lucky and the people are happy."
