Fang Zheng waved his hand: "Let's serve, but this banner can be hung for three days at most. Do you understand?"
Zhang Laoliu smiled apologetically: "I understand the rules! Don't worry, sir!"
"Wait a minute! Clear out all the people on this floor! Arrange them all downstairs. I don't like anyone to disturb me while I'm eating."
Fang Zhengyi said slowly and leisurely
After speaking, he gave Zhang Biao a look.
Zhang Biao immediately understood and ran to the stairs and shouted: "Master Fang will pay for all the expenses tonight!!!"
The guests on the second floor immediately came downstairs happily, and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami also came from downstairs.
Zhang Laoliu's face lit up with joy. The county magistrate came and something good happened! I made a profit this time!
Then he happily went downstairs, and when he looked up, he saw Emperor Jing and the two still sitting in their original positions.
He said flatteringly: "You two gentlemen, please move on. Our county magistrate has invited you to have this meal today for free."
Emperor Jing sat silently.
Guo Tianyang said in a high voice: "It's not like we can't afford food! We don't need to be invited by others!"
"This..." Zhang Laoliu looked confused.
Then he gritted his teeth and whispered: "You two, if you are willing to go down to eat, I can give you another jar of wine before leaving! Do you think this is okay?"
Emperor Jing still said nothing and sipped tea quietly.
Guo Tianyang shouted in a low voice with a sullen face: "Go away, don't disturb our master's pleasure!"
Zhang Laoliu was at a loss and looked at Fang Zhengyi with pleading eyes.
Fang Zhengyi looked at the two people in front of him playfully.
Then he slowly said, "Since you don't want to leave, can you two friends have a meal together?"
Emperor Jing turned his head, smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and walked over unceremoniously.
Guo Tianyang quickly followed.
Zhang Laoliu also saw the opportunity and hurried downstairs.
After sitting down, they both said: "You two look familiar, but you just came from out of town?"
After Emperor Jing sat down, he kept looking at Fang Zhengyi, his eyes unabashed.
"I have met Magistrate Fang. I am Li Long. I am in the porcelain business in the capital. This is my accountant, Guo Da."
Fang Zhengyi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him.
So he said without hesitation: "What are you doing in Taoyuan County?"
"The two of us were going to Hengjiang Mansion to purchase goods, and we passed by this place along the way."
Hengjiang Mansion? Fang Zheng became alert.
"Why do we need to take a detour from Taoyuan County to go to Hengjiang Prefecture? It should be much faster for you two to go directly to the official road from the capital, right?"
However, Guo Tianyang had already prepared his words and interjected: "I heard that there was a ground collapse on the official road and the road was blocked. We took a detour for fear of an accident, and we arrived at Taoyuan County by accident."
"Then when are you leaving?"
"We're not leaving! We see that there are so many novelties in Taoyuan County. If we bring them back to the capital, it will definitely be very profitable. I wonder if County Magistrate Fang agrees?"
Fang Zheng smiled: "Great! We in Taoyuan County welcome nothing but merchants."
"To tell you the truth, our latest ceramic toilet in Taoyuan County is one of a kind!"
"The shape of the vessel is complex and huge. This kind of porcelain is the best wherever you get it!"
When he heard about the toilet, Guo Tianyang's expression looked like he had eaten a fly.
"But, this thing is not suitable for export. You two can cooperate if you have customization needs!"
"You can negotiate anything you like. In the end, you just have to go to the county government office to sign a contract."
"Do you have something you like now?"
Emperor Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "I'm ashamed to say that it's a bit surprising when I first arrived at Guibao Land."
“Everything here is an eye-opener for me.”
"Just talking about this tea, the emperor in the palace can't taste it like this."
"Huh? Not in the capital?"
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhengyi suddenly slapped the table and stood up, his face full of indignation!
"Shut up! Mr. Li, please don't speak nonsense! How dare you slander the Emperor!"
"All the four seas are king's soil! Why can't he, the Emperor, drink this mere tea?"
"I think back to the time when my emperor personally went to war, eating and sleeping in the open air, so that the world could be at peace."
"Now that the world has settled, His Majesty is still working hard to govern for the sake of the people in the court, and he has not slackened even a little bit."
"Without Your Majesty, there would be no Taoyuan County! Without Taoyuan County, there would be no such tea!"
"But there is no tea in this mere capital?! My heart aches when I think of this! I wish I could fly over and make a pot of tea for His Majesty myself!"
"Even His Majesty, who is far away in the capital, can't drink this tea, so how can I have the nerve to drink it again! It's okay if I don't drink this tea!"
"My Holy Emperor!"
After speaking, he poured the tea directly on the ground and sat down with an awe-inspiring expression.
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes behind him, as if she had made similar remarks when dealing with merchants from Qian Country in the past few years.
Fang Zhengyi also quibbled that this was called taking precautions before they happened. He had to set up the patriots first, so that if he left Taoyuan County one day in the future, he would be able to take precautions against them!
Our Founder’s patriotic heart can be learned from the sun and the moon!
Emperor Jing was holding the teacup, his eyes twitching.
This hand is neither holding it up nor letting it go, and it does not freeze on the spot for a moment.
Guo Tianyang was even more stunned and looked around.
Who are you talking to! ? Why did it suddenly start acting!
Damn it! Fortunately, Fang Zhengyi is not an eunuch! He can actually flatter him from afar!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Emperor Jing again, and whispered: "My Emperor is Holy Ming!"
Fang Zheng's ears twitched and he said seriously: "Mr. Guo! Don't just keep your love for the Emperor in your mouth! You should always keep it in your heart like me!"
"How many people in the court are praising our emperor's sage, but secretly doing things that are contrary to His Majesty? Such people are no different from animals!"
NMB! It seems that I have been connoted!
Eunuch Guo's face quickly darkened, he glanced at Emperor Jing guiltily, and said aggrievedly: "What County Magistrate Fang said is true, that's what we think!"
Emperor Jing's face gradually turned rosy. He had heard a lot of flattery and had long been immune to it. This was the first time he had done it in such a unique way. In addition to being embarrassed, it was also unexpectedly refreshing.
Fangzheng suddenly changed his mind: "Speaking of this tea, it is specially roasted by our tea makers in Taoyuan County."
"The flavor is unique! If we get it to the capital, the princes and nobles will definitely buy it up, so that our emperor can drink it too!"
"I wonder if you two are interested in this tea?"
Guo Tianyang's face contorted for a while, "Don't you just want to sell tea!" Beating around the bush!
"Eh? What's wrong with your face, Mr. Guo?"
"fine!"
Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel speechless when he came back to his senses, but he still had to follow his words and continue.
"This tea is very good, but how much does it cost?"
"Ten taels of silver and one tael of tea!"
"Ten taels!" Guo Tianyang trembled. Emperor Jing may not be familiar with the price of this thing, but he is familiar with it!
One tael of silver can buy a pound of ordinary tea in the capital!
Even the best tea leaves only cost about ten taels. Of course, the few rare tea leaves are still very expensive and the production is scarce.
But this tea is obviously ordinary tea that can be found everywhere in Taoyuan County.
"It's a bit... expensive," Guo Tianyang said hesitantly.
"Is ten taels of silver expensive? It's not expensive! What's wrong with selling tea that the emperor has never drunk for ten taels!"
"...."
