"Yes, it's indeed a little different.”Zhao Ji praised after taking a sip.
Wu Song had just boarded the Jinshi Tower and drank with the group of Jinshi for a while, and he was suddenly filled with ambition. Now that he was a little drunk, he actually treated this stranger as a good friend and asked,
"Brother, do you know about the salt and iron official camp?"
As the emperor, Zhao Ji naturally knew about the salt and iron official camp. He smiled and replied," Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu and exhausted the country's wealth. Under the suggestion of Sang Hongyang and the others, salt and iron were taken over by the state. Later on, the dynasties saw that this measure was very profitable, so they made the salt and iron official camp a national policy.”
Wu Song smiled after hearing this, and then he shook his cup.""Yes, that's right. However, if Wu Song was an official in the court that day, he would definitely suggest that the current Emperor take the tea leaves into the official camp.”
"Tea leaves?"
"Yes, yes, this tea leaf is no less than salt and iron! If it is an official camp, it will definitely make a lot of money.”As Wu Song spoke, he raised his sleeves as if he was pointing out the way.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he didn't think much of it. As the emperor, although he was incompetent, he knew everything that he should know. After all, his brain's memory was still very strong! He was very familiar with the emperor's matters. But was this tea so useful?
Emperor Huizong asked in surprise," This salt needs to be dried by the sea, and this iron needs to be mined and refined. It's not something that ordinary people can do. However, this tea can be grown by every family. If it's taken into the government camp, I'm afraid it can't compare to salt and iron, right?”
When Wu Song heard this, this person was indeed smart. In fact, that was the case.
Salt and iron were taken from nature, and the government became an official camp, which benefited a lot. Tea, on the other hand, needed to be planted. If the government were to run it, it would only earn a purchase and reselling fee!
However, Wu Song laughed and said," Brother, you don't know this. Although the official tea business only earns some reselling fees within the borders of our Great Song, the nomads in the north and northwest of our Great Song live by the grass. They couldn't grow tea leaves. If they sold the tea leaves to the nomadic tribes, they would make a fortune.”
" Nomads?" Huizong was stunned.
As the emperor, he was well aware of the habits of the nomads. After all, the Liao Kingdom was always giving Song a headache!
The number one that he had hand-picked could actually come up with such a boundless idea, which made him depressed for a moment!
"Brother! They didn't even eat vegetables, so how could they drink tea?？”
Wu Song knew that this was not something that the ancient people who did not like to eat vegetables and fruits could know! He laughed and said,"
"That's true. However, you know that they only eat meat and milk products. They don't eat a single dish. Such a diet will inevitably lead to intestinal problems and constipation.
Although fruits and vegetables, as well as the food fiber, could help solve this problem, the fruits and vegetables were too short to be preserved. They would rot before they were transported there! But tea leaves were different. They could be preserved for a long time.”
Hearing Wu Song's words, Zhao Ji still asked in disbelief,""Are these tea leaves really as you said?”
"Of course!" Wu Song nodded. The nomads have their own country to provide salt and iron, but the tea leaves can only be provided by the Great Song, just like silk. Therefore, it would be strange if they didn't earn a sum of money!
That silk could only be worn by the upper class! The low-class people were all like this: sheepskin jackets and other coarse linen items were enough, but these low-class people also needed to drink tea to solve their food accumulation and constipation!
Therefore, as long as they knew the benefits of the tea leaves, this item would become the reading material of these nomads!”
"Good!" When Zhao Ji heard this, he slapped the table and stood up happily.
"If it's really as Brother Wu said, then the people of Great Song really have to thank Brother Wu!”
Seeing this fellow stand up and scream, Wu Song also stood up and said humbly,""How dare I, how dare I! Wu Song received the Emperor's favor and was personally appointed as the number one. If it wasn't for the Emperor's discerning eyes, I, Wu Song, would probably not even have the chance to stand here and speak to this brother!”
"Hahahaha, Brother Wu is too humble.”Zhao Ji stroked his beard and grinned from ear to ear.
Ever since he became the emperor, no one had ever flattered him and made him so happy! Most importantly, this person did not know that he was the current emperor!
The astute Wu Song spoke well of the Emperor in the capital…Although this was the behavior of a crafty official, Wu Song did not mind at all!
"Also, it's just that this one…Oh, it's just that this brother drinks this tea every day, but I don't seem to feel that it has such a magical effect!”Huizong, who had been happy for a while, suddenly asked.
"Hahahaha, brother, you come from a wealthy family. You eat fruits and vegetables all day long, and your body's metabolism is very good. How can you feel this effect?”
"Yes, that's true."
This time, Wu Song's wonderful theory made Emperor Zhao Ji clap his hands in his heart.
He thought about those high officials of the imperial court, all of whom were paid by the imperial court, but had no idea what to do. This Wu Song actually gave him such a good idea the first time he met him. And now, he still didn't know that he was the emperor!
Just as the two of them were chatting, they suddenly heard Xiao Tong shout,"Extra, extra, Young Master Cai Yu has produced another masterpiece…"
The two of them looked up and saw Cai Yu standing on the stage with his head held high, being pursued by a bunch of good-for-nothings.
"Brother Wu Xian, you are the current Emperor's appointed Hui Yuan, why don't you go up and compose a song?”Song Huizong said with a smile.
"Alright, alright." Wu Song nodded and immediately stood up.
He walked onto the stage and looked at the scholars, beauties, and servants below. He casually said,
The scenery of the Great Song, thousands of miles of fireworks, thousands of miles of peach blossoms.
Looking inside and outside the capital, red lights and green towers.
The mountains and rivers were beautiful and boundless.
The mountains and rivers were so enchanting, attracting countless heroes to bow down!
It is a pity that Emperor Wu of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han lost some literary grace. Tang Zong, Song Zu, slightly inferior to coquettish.
A heavenly beauty of a generation, a cult master and a Dao Lord, only knew how to shoot wild geese with a bow!
They have all gone, and many of the most outstanding people have come back to look at the present.
"Good, good poem…"
The group of scholars and lackeys below the stage shouted.
Although Cai Yu wanted to point out some flaws, he didn't dare to point randomly! If he was not careful, Wu Song would use this masterpiece to sue him during the court examinations. He would not be able to clear his name! After all, this was a masterpiece to promote the current emperor!
Wu Song knew that no matter where he was, he would never go wrong in praising the Emperor. Of course, it was fine as long as he didn't say it in front of the Liangshan heroes.
Song Huizong stroked his beard in ecstasy. Putting him on the same level, this Wu Song was indeed worthy of being the Huiyuan he had appointed!
Zhao Ji enjoyed listening to this masterpiece. In addition to the wisdom of the tea leaves, Zhao Ji felt: This Wu Song was really smart and knowledgeable!
"Ever since the 'Cult Master' ascended the throne, the Great Song has been prosperous and the people have been at peace. The current Emperor can be compared to the above few!”Eunuch Wang Wu flattered Zhao Ji.
"That's right, that's right. The current Emperor is the only person in the Nine Heavens. His civil and martial arts are not inferior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.”The other eunuchs followed suit.
"Who are you? Today, all the people who came to the Jinshi Building are Jinshi. Who are you with?”
Cai Yu looked at these unfamiliar faces and hurriedly asked.
