The ministers in the court remembered that during the arson case in the Royal Courtyard, the wealthy businessman Wang Yuanbao came to the court to testify, and it was only then that Niu Xiantong, the arsonist who murdered the tenth princess, confessed his crime.
The court officials are helpless about the disaster relief in Guanzhong!
What disaster relief measures can a businessman have?
The courtiers thought that the third prince was too wild!
However, His Majesty personally sent the King Yuanbao to the palace, but the ministers did not have any good measures to relieve the disaster and did not dare to say anything for a while.
Xuanzong asked Eunuch Yang to pass the news, and soon Wang Yuanbao entered the Jinluan Hall with his chubby body, carrying a large rattan basket in his hand. When he walked to the center of the hall, he was out of breath and looked exhausted.
While the courtiers were speculating on what kind of heavy object he was carrying, Wang Yuanbao placed the rattan basket on the ground, knelt down and paid tribute to Xuanzong.
"Caomin Wang Yuanbao, I have met His Majesty!"
"No gift!"
Xuanzong's eyes were fixed on the rattan basket in the palace and he asked: "My prince said you have a good plan for disaster relief?"
"Yes, the grassroots people do have good disaster relief measures!"
Wang Yuanbao stood up and put his hand on the basket: "The good disaster relief measures presented by the common people to Your Majesty have been brought to the court and placed in the basket."
What?
Are good disaster relief measures left in the basket?
The disaster relief strategies proposed by the courtiers were all written down in the memorials and submitted.
What kind of disaster relief plan would make this wealthy businessman named Wang Yuanbao carry him to the palace out of breath?
The curiosity of the courtiers in the palace reached its peak, and all eyes were focused on the basket in front of Wang Yuanbao.
Some people even think that this wealthy businessman is trying to please others by grandstanding.
However, Wang Yuanbao remained calm and calm. Even though the courtiers in the palace were looking at and speculating, he remained calm and composed, and had no intention of opening the basket.
Until Xuanzong said: "In that case, let me see your disaster relief plan."
"The common people obey the decree!"
Wang Yuanbao then opened the basket and took out a fish tank.
The coconut-shaped fish tank is crystal clear, half filled with water, and a lotus leaf resting on the water. The lotus leaves are as green as jade, and the hazy flowers like mist are white and holy. There are two small goldfish playing under the lotus leaves.
The fish tank with swimming fish and a lotus leaf looks indescribably lively and interesting, and it also has a faint sense of Zen, which is in sharp contrast to Wang Yuanbao's chubby figure.
The courtiers looked at Wang Yuanbao carefully holding the fish tank with both hands, and after a brief silence, they finally lost their voices in admiration.
"What is it that is so crystal clear?"
"This object is more transparent than mutton-fat white jade. The colored glaze brought to the capital by Persian merchants is not as good as its fineness."
"It looks like it's made of colored glaze, but how come there is such crystal clear colored glaze in the world?"
"..."
Wang Yuanbao saw that he had achieved the effect he wanted. When the courtiers were talking about it, he said, "My lords, how much do you think this glazed fish tank is worth?"
"Priceless treasure!"
"If you get it to the Treasure Pavilion and sell it, it will definitely be worth thousands of gold."
There was a courtier who was fond of collecting colored glaze and was speechless when admiring the colored glaze fish tank.
Everyone was amazed that there was such crystal clear glass in the world, and their eyes were opened for a moment. They even forgot that Wang Yuanbao brought the rattan basket into the palace in the first place to offer disaster relief measures.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Wang Yuanbao handed the glazed fish tank to the young eunuch sent by Eunuch Yang, then put his hand into the rattan basket and took out a glazed vase.
Like the previous fish tank, this glass vase is also crystal clear.
There are also several newly cut rose branches inserted in the vase. The newly bloomed flowers are stained with dew. The leaves and branches of the flower branches are clearly visible. People who are close to him can even see clearly the thorns on the flower branches through the glass.
Such a glass vase, if used to arrange flowers, has a unique flavor. The vase is as priceless as the fish tank.
The courtiers thought Wang Yuanbao's basket was full of mysteries and were curious about what else he brought.
Someone urged anxiously: "What else is in the rattan basket?"
"And a tea set!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Yuanbao put his hands into the basket and took out a sandalwood tray. On the tray was a set of crystal clear glass cups.
Six small glass cups surround a glass teapot in the middle.
Because the teapot was crystal clear, when he held the tray in his hand, he could clearly see the buds and leaves unfolding inside the teapot. They were green and pure, like lotus flowers standing upright in the water.
The little eunuch came over to help him carry the tray. Wang Yuanbao took the teapot and poured tea into the glass cup. As the tea soup slowly flowed into the cup, the whole palace was filled with the aroma of tea.
The tea soup falling into the glass cup is green, clear and bright.
Wang Yuanbao said: "The tea brewed by the grassroots comes from Yuquan Temple in Jingzhou."
"Yuquan Temple is close to a mountain and a stream, and tea grass grows beside the water. The leaves of this tea are shaped like human hands and the color is like jasper. The monks of the temple often pick it and make it into tea to entertain dignitaries."
Wang Yuanbao smiled and said: "I am lucky to have such a small group. Is there any adult who is willing to drink tea?"
Cactus tea is worth thousands of gold. I have only heard of this tea but have never tasted it.
After discussing political affairs in the court hall for half a day, he was already thirsty. Before his tea lover could speak, Xuanzong, who was sitting on the royal chair, said, "Let me try the cactus tea brewed in a glass cup."
"The common people obey the decree!"
Wang Yuanbao quickly put the tea in a glass cup and asked the young eunuch to serve it.
Eunuch Yang wanted to taste the poison for Xuanzong first. Xuanzong waved his hands, took a glass cup and sipped the warm tea soup. After drinking a cup of tea, he felt comfortable all over his body.
"The first sip is light, and the aftertaste is sweet. Then the tea tastes mellow, and the aroma lingers between the teeth and cheeks for a long time. It is wonderful to drink it with a glass cup!"
Xuanzong put down the tea cup and Long Yan said happily: "Such a good tea, let me pour a cup for Yao Aiqing too!"
The crystal clear glass is amazing!
What a fascinating treasure.
Wang Yuanbao successively took out a glass fish tank, a vase, and a set of glass tea sets. Even Yao Chong, who was as honest as he was, felt enlightened for a moment.
Until Wang Yuanbao poured the tea soup and held it respectfully with both hands.
Yao Chong remembered that his Majesty summoned Wang Yuanbao to the palace at the beginning to offer good disaster relief measures.
Why did it become a treasure display and tea tasting?
Yao Chong refused to accept the tea from Wang Yuanbao and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although this tea is good, it is difficult for me to swallow it!"
"If I tell Aiqing that the glassware I saw in the court today was made by Xiao Shi and Wang Yuanwai in order to develop malaria medicine, will Aiqing be able to taste this bowl of tea?"
What?
Was the glassware made by the ten princesses?
Yao Chong vaguely felt that the presentation of the glassware might be related to disaster relief. Thinking of the benevolence and righteousness of the ten princesses, he thought that Wang Yuanbao's display of the glassware in the court must have a profound meaning.
Seeing Wang Yuanbao bending down with a respectful expression and insisting on inviting him to taste tea, Yao Chong finally took the tea brewed in the glass cup into his hands.
Drink a cup of tea and feel refreshed!
Yao Chong said anxiously: "I have already drank the tea soup. Your Majesty, can you tell me what the relationship between good disaster relief measures and glazed ware is?"
