Li Ke felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Father, forget this idea. If this is really the case, I will be roasted on the fire."
Apart from anything else, Li Tai, who will stand with him when the time comes, will probably be the first to explode.
Li Shimin was amused by him and laughed.
However, he felt quite inappropriate to be reminded like this.
I hereby set a precedent for the third child. What will the other princes think?
"In that case, let's drop this matter."
At this time, Wang Meng came over with tea. Before he put it down, Li Shimin smelled a unique fragrance, which was refreshing.
Li Ke on the side had a panoramic view of the other party's expression.
Stable, stable!
Apart from anything else, if he comes to see Li Shimin in the future, he will probably not be allowed to make tea again.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the tea is ready."
Wang Meng put down the teapot and stepped aside consciously, with a trace of reluctance on his face.
Along the way, he smelled the fragrance of tea and felt comfortable in his heart, and he felt much more energetic when walking.
Just for this reason, this tea is no ordinary thing.
"Father, I will serve you some tea."
Li Ke stood up and poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin with his own hands. Bright red tea flowed from the spout, and the aroma of tea suddenly overflowed on the dining table.
Li Shimin looked at his skillful movements and felt a little touched in his heart.
This movement must have been practiced for a long time.
Among all his sons, only the third is the most similar to himself when he was young, although his martial arts and martial arts are not as good as his former self.
But the temperament is also 70-80% similar.
"Father, please drink tea."
Li Ke picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.
"well!"
Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, he said hello repeatedly and took the tea cup from Li Ke's hand.
When the tea enters the mouth, the fragrant floral fragrance fills the air. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, but it makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.
nice one!
As an emperor, Li Shimin naturally had a lot of good food to eat, and there were not many things in the world that could make his eyes shine.
But today's cup of tea really made him sincerely praise it.
"Ke'er, I'm afraid it took you a lot of effort to find this thing, right?"
After taking another sip, Li Shimin put down his tea cup and looked at Li Ke standing aside.
"If you can make your father happy, no matter how much trouble there is, your son will overcome it."
Li Ke rolled his eyes and flattered him smoothly. Now was the time to accumulate favorability points, so he couldn't waste it.
"You kid, you do have a lot of intentions."
"My father is happy to accept this box of tea. If there are more, my father is willing to buy it from you."
"what do you think?"
"There are not many Dahongpao teas left, but there are still a lot of other teas of lower quality."
"Does Father want all of these?"
Li Ke felt happy, and he could see that Li Shimin intended to make up for himself elsewhere.
In this way, the tea here is equivalent to a special royal offering.
"Of course I want them all. After all, my father is not the only one who enjoys them. The concubines and trusted ministers in the harem also need rewards, right?"
"So as much as you have, my father will take it."
Li Shimin nodded and said.
Even if there is still a stock of such a precious delicacy, Lao San's place must be short of resources.
But even if it is a defective product, using today's pot of tea as a standard, it is definitely not much different, and it is definitely enough to reward others.
"My son, thank you very much, Father!"
Li Ke immediately bowed.
"Haha, your boy is really becoming more and more beloved by my father."
"Ke'er, you can discuss the specific price with the housekeeper later,"
"My son, please save it."
This breakfast put Li Ke in a good mood.
Not only do you get rid of hidden baggage, you can even make a fortune.
There are indeed not many top-quality Dahongpao teas, but there are many other types of tea such as Longjing, Biluochun, and Oolong tea.
Although it is not like the items in the novice gift bag, which can easily weigh several tons, there are still hundreds of kilograms of each kind.
So, after breakfast, Li Ke happily ran to the chamberlain department, and then discussed the price with the chambermaid.
In the end, Dahongpao was priced at one hundred cents and one tael, while other teas of lower quality were priced at fifty cents and one tael.
If this happened in future generations, I'm afraid the price would be outrageous.
But this is a royal special offer, so the price is a bit more expensive to be in line with the royal style.
It's like exploding my father's little treasury.
Sitting on the carriage back home, Li Ke wanted to laugh when he thought of this, and he didn't know what his father's expression would be like when he found out.
Ahem, you can't take it back, right?
"But in this way, the tea industry feels like it can take action."
Li Ke naturally didn't know how to fry tea leaves.
But he can try!
Heat, temperature, method.
Everything can be done using the exhaustive method, which only takes manpower and time.
But the value this industry brings is extremely huge.
In this era, there were not many drinks to drink. As long as Li Shimin gave these tea leaves to the ministers as rewards.
Li Ke didn't even need to find anyone to publicize it. His tea had already been publicized invisibly.
Just imagine, when all the officials in the capital were drinking Biluochun, Longjing and other teas specially provided by the royal family.
When you entertain officials, not only the imperial Dahongpao, but also a pot of Longjing, right?
Moreover, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was also the economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty. As long as it became popular in Chang'an, there would be no worries about sales in various places.
"Restaurant, tea, and wine making."
“As long as we can do these three things, we basically don’t have to worry about money.”
Li Ke clapped his hands, took out a pen and paper, and started planning in the carriage.
…
Manna Hall.
Li Shimin sat on a chair, and the table in front of him was replaced by a high-top table.
The tables and chairs naturally match each other, so they are just right to use.
And this set of tables and chairs was the one given by Li Ke.
"This kid is really good at flattering."
Looking at the words engraved on the table, Li Shimin smiled.
Taizong Khan, Yongzhen Heshan.
Wise and virtuous, one emperor through the ages.
As the saying goes, as long as the flattery is good, the relationship will definitely be good.
Now this secret flattery made Li Shimin like him even more.
After putting this matter aside, Li Shimin picked up the confession again, his face gradually darkening.
These old guys.
After all, I still don’t give up!
After so many years, I still think about the past.
Do you really think I am made of clay?
"Chen Han, go and arrest the governor of Mingzhou. I want to ask him what those old guys are thinking!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Baiqi Si Chen Han immediately stood up and left.
Wang Meng stood aside and shrank slightly when he saw Li Shimin being so angry.
It seems that the last time His Majesty was so angry was because of that incident...
