After Zheng Lang turned around, he came to Shousheng Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain on the west side of West Lake.

The abbot of the temple warmly welcomed him.

Zheng Lang met and said, "Master, just chat about worries."[]

"I dare not, donor Zheng, please come in."

After entering the temple, Zheng Lang said, "I deliberately wanted to ask for the tea-cup of the temple."

"Donor Zheng is indeed a elegant man," the monk understood and said with a smile.

At this time, there was no such term as Longjing tea. Hangzhou tea was very cheap. The market price of ordinary tea was only 30 cents for kilograms, while in Jianzhou it was 500 cents for 600 cents, which was twenty times its value. However, some famous species, such as Xianglin Tea in Xianglin Cave in Tianzhu, Baiyun Tea in Baiyun Peak in Tianzhu and Baoyun Tea in Baoyun Mountain in Geling, are all listed as tributes.

But they are not the best. The best ones are dozens of old tea trees on the cliff on the side of the Shi Peak. They are private property of Shousheng Temple. Except for some distinguished guests and the monks in the temple, others cannot drink them at all.

The monk brought a small tea ball and started making tea. His movements were very elegant. He asked, "Donald Zheng, where did you hear it?"

"If there is, people will hear it sooner or later, and people will not hear it sooner or later." Zheng Lang called a Zen saying.

"Yes," the monk saw that he did not answer, and did not ask, and continued to make tea with a smile.

In fact, Zheng Lang also knew not only the tea from Shousheng Temple, but also the famous tea in several other places. The reason is simple, Longjing tea is also the famous tea tree in later generations, not the tea tree next to Longjing, but the best one is on Shi Peak, that is, the dozen old tea trees on the cliff. What taste is it that he dared to dream of drinking in his previous life.

The second is the tea trees beside Longjing, and the output is also very good. This is Longjing's two dragons, Yunqi, the four tigers' tigers' tigers' and the five plums' Meijiawu. Although it is produced in five places, the total output is not large. Whether the Longjing tea produced in other places can still be called Longjing is very suspicious, but the Longjing that most people buy is exactly this Longjing other than Lion Two Dragons Three Clouds Four Tigers and Five Plums. Although it is drunk, don't take it seriously, it is not called Longjing tea, but Hangzhou tea, or even Hangzhou tea.

—The fragrance overflows.

There are also differences. Song tea is divided into two types - select the good tea leaves and steam them and press them into pieces. The second is loose tea. The loose tea has been simply processed, such as slightly fermented, dried, and fried green.

And the technique of making green fire is gradually mature, but the Song people don’t like this.

If you don’t know how to stir-fry tea, it is impossible to make a lot of money in the Song Dynasty.

The Song people didn't like the strong aroma of fried green, and the slight fermentation produced during the processing of tea cakes makes the tea taste more intense and restrained, which is the love of the Song people. Zheng Lang, including Zheng Lang, gradually forgot the fragrance of fried green in later generations and fell in love with the taste of this tea cake.

The tea was boiled, and the monk poured a cup for Zheng Lang, his four students, and two followers, a very small cup, but the monk was very careful in his movements to avoid overflowing. It was too difficult to get it, and just picking these kilograms of tea on the hanging wall was a great danger.

"Thank you, Master." Zheng Lang held another one, took a sip and savored it carefully.

—A light fragrance and sweetness slowly poured out from the throat, like a small stream of sweet spring gently moistening. She sighed: "Good tea."

He sipped again and said, "I dare not drink it."

“Why?”

"I was afraid that after drinking this tea, I would be a human being. I really couldn't indulge myself too much... "..." Then I thought about it, after Cai Xiang went to Fujian, he presented Xiaolong tea cakes to Song Renzong, making ten cakes per catty, and the market price was two taels of gold. Don't say it's expensive, if you have this money, you don't have this market. Even if it is placed in the palace, the eunuchs in the palace were decorated with gold silk. It was only during the Great Suburbs' Festival, and the four people gave it a small amount of rich and rich palaces, and the cakes were distributed to four people.

Those who like strong tea, one-forty-one of the pound of tea is cooked.

It’s not a drink either. After these big guys got it, they put it at home. When the distinguished guests arrive, they take it out for the distinguished guests to appreciate it. It is not tea, it is a peerless artwork!

Later, there were better Miyun Dragon and Xiangyun Dragon, but I don’t know how much it costs.

But I don’t know whether the little dragon ball or this lion tea is used to put the craftsmanship of the ball, the taste is better.

After drinking three sips, Heshi left without any delay.

The little novice monk looked at their backs and said to the abbot: "This new magistrate is so rude."

The abbot smiled and said, "You don't understand, he came to drink tea for tea."

"For tea?"

"It's not for this tea, but for that tea." The great monk also heard about Zheng Lang's pavilion and knew that he had turned around and was about to go back, but when he went to the city, he came around and really loved this good cup of tea in the temple?

But Cha is a national specialty, how can he intervene?

Missing me, she smiled again and said, "Pack up the tea sets."

It has nothing to do with me. This new magistrate just wants to see the best tea in Hangzhou and then position it..."

………

On the way, Wang Anshi also began to ask: "Doctor Zheng, do you want to interfere in Tea Method?"

"I don't know, just look," Zheng Lang said, and said, "The monk is very enthusiastic, and I'm embarrassed to take out the white snake."

But Wang Anshi didn't take it seriously.

Zheng Lang, the doctrine of the mean, has explained many problems. For example, when there is unevenness in the rich and poor, some adjustments must be made to prevent the poor from being divided. If it is too uniform, it will prevent the creativity of some elites and they must silently observe that some people will become rich first, but it is often impossible to come later. Just like the five fingers of a person, the thumb is very thick, which is worth it. What should I do if I do ten times thicker than the little finger? For example, the middle finger is very long and ten times longer than the thumb, what will it become?

For example, the old man of Buddhism is very important to the influence of the people and will also bring faith to the people. But what if it develops after the middle of the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty? Everyone becomes a monk and the temples occupy land and lend money. This loses its original meaning.

So you have to turn it back.

So keep pace with the times.

In this context, if you give a hundred kilogram of lion tea, the teacher will not give up on some corrective publicity.

Arrived on the boat.

The weather is not good, and it is drizzling. This kind of weather is still rare in August in Hangzhou. Most of them are storms, and several heavy rains have passed since the month.

However, the scenery of West Lake is very good, with clear water and clear ink, and you can see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the water and the swimming of fish.

To the west are continuous mountains, to the east are rows of houses. From time to time, boats pass by, several sand gulls fly up, and the lake is covered with large patches of wild rice and grass. There are also lotus roots and water horns on the lake. The water is clear and green, and the breeze blows, making people feel refreshed.

But this is all an illusion.

Zheng Lang asked for it from the boatman - a bamboo pole measured the depth of the lake, and most places were only seven feet deep.

In some places, due to the accumulation of weeds, even the small boat they were on had to take a detour to prevent stranding.

However, the roots of large dog-sliced ​​grasses are twisted together, allowing the people to use them and produce many fields, which may be sufficiently water-rich and seem to grow even more vigorously than the rice in the polder fields.

But West Lake is not difficult.

What is difficult is the future arrangements and salt-tea-wine...

I didn't want to take out the Yaoqin from my luggage for the time being and chanted: "——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

—The song "Guangling San" burst out fiercely and tragic.

Then he said to Wang Anshi in a low voice!" Wang Erlang, I saw my father's greed from Dr. Zheng's body.

They all set an example, they were both fighting and dancing, they were tragic, and they were fishing for autumn. It was just that their father's methods were more motivated, while Zheng Lang's methods were more gentle.

I'm afraid this is what Zheng Lang said about his family background and father, so his methods are direct. Zheng Lang is rich, so his methods are more tactful and elegant. But the paths are different, and the ultimate goal is the same.

Wang Anshi kept silent.

Whether it can succeed depends on whether the teacher can transform this unprecedented illusion.

If it doesn't change, it will become a huge joke. Even if it changes, it may not be all good afterwards. But political achievements will prompt more people to pay attention to the teacher's thoughts, but Wang Anshi's questions did not disappear. Can the current shortcomings of the Song Dynasty be solved by using gentle measures?

Get off the boat and go home.

After hearing this, Fu Bi rushed over immediately.

Hangzhou City is almost a big deal. I don’t know what kind of big deal Zheng Lang is, and I have collected the wealth of so many wealthy families, but I only have half of the stocks. I asked, these people have no answer. I can’t tell you, tell you, and I will lose my qualifications right away.

Fu Bi was very worried.

Taipingzhou is a miracle, but that is achieved by human resources. Now the more you play, the bigger it is, it is beyond the scope of his understanding. Unless it is explained by ghosts and gods, is that possible?

If something happens, I will be a judgment and cannot escape it.

"Sit," Zheng Lang said.

Jiang Xing'er made tea for Fu Bi.

But it is not Shifeng tea, but Jianzhou tea cake, not the top one, but also worth thousands of cents to kilograms.

After drinking a sip of tea, Fu Bi said, "Master Zheng, tell me, what are the arrangements?"

"There are ten days left, and in ten days, I will uncover the mystery. Don't think so magical. For example, if I ask ghosts, if I send money and goods to come in Taipingzhou, it will be like this after it is revealed. But this is very troublesome. I'm about to consider some details."

"Ten days?"

"I have to wait for two groups of people to come. It will take about ten days to calculate the itinerary."

Fu Bi had no choice but to wait. He said again: "It happened that Magistrate Lu and Magistrate Han handed over a case to show you."

Han Jiang was the magistrate of Qiantang. This county was established very early. Qin had already been established. It was originally Qiantang. The Tang Dynasty was changed to Tang. The county was in the south of the city of Zhou, managing the southern wings of Hangzhou and the south of the city. Lu Gongbi was the magistrate of Renhe. Qian Yue was the magistrate of Wulinmen. The Song Dynasty changed the capital to the north of the city, managing the northern wings of Hangzhou. The form was like the Wannian-Chang'an counties of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

The new Jinshi became the magistrates, and some questions appeared one after another.

The better-doing is Lu Gongzhu, who is in charge of the process of governing inaction and waiting for Zheng Lang's change.

Sima Guang did the best, and it was impossible to develop and start picking immediately. He used his geographical advantages to encourage the people to grow oranges, plate millet and walnuts, which are local specialties. Especially plate millet, before the toothbrush comes out, the people use plate millet fragrant mouths. There are more people using toothbrushes, but their preference for plate millet remains unabated.

Some are in the mountains, such as Guangzhou, and the transportation costs are very high. There are also mountains in Yuqian, but with the convenience of the river, it is easy to transport it to Hangzhou City.

And unlike other specialty loquats, they are not easy to store. These are dry goods, easy to store and transport, and have small losses.

Then craftsmen were mobilized to interact and exchange their skills.

The others did not move, but if this item was done well, the people's harvest would increase in a few years.

Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi did not have so many advantages. Their main responsibility was to maintain public order in Hangzhou City.

The two were eager to make contributions, and after taking office, they both pointed the finger at one thing.

The management of salt in the Song Dynasty was a state operation, and the second was to buy a puff system, allowing small groups of merchants to exchange for salt rations in the form of paying grain and grass to the north.

In addition to these two forms, the legal system is also very strict. Emperor Taizu of Song issued an edict saying that those who privately cultivate three pounds of salt will die, those who are good at cargo and official salt will die in the prohibited law land, and those who trade silkworm salt and enter cities will have more than 20 pounds of sticks and 20 pounds of sticks, and will be assigned to the year.
