Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 990: Silla’s envoy visits
After Li Shen sat down, he asked the two of them:
"I wonder why the two envoys are here? I am just an idle prince.
You should also know this these days. I have no power in the court and I don't care about anything.
Therefore, if you two have any important matters, you should let the Highness of Honglu Temple report it to His Majesty, or His Highness the Crown Prince. "
Li Shen didn't have a good impression of Silla, and their arrogance was engraved in their genes.
That's why Li Shen didn't care whether they were looking for something to do with him or not, and refused first.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, the foreign minister learned that the prince is happy to have a son, so he brought the child here to congratulate him. There is nothing important."
Jin Chunqiu also said to Li Shen with a smile on his face.
"Well, that's good. In fact, even if you ask me to do something, I can't do it. I have no right to say anything about the court's affairs."
Li Shen nodded and read Tomato novels for free.
"Haha, the prince is too modest. Everyone in Chang'an City doesn't know that the prince's family is extremely wealthy and is as rich as the country.
Needless to say, power, who among the princes and nobles in Chang'an is not afraid of you, my lord? "
Jin Chunqiu laughed. He had been in Chang'an for some time. Although King Ji did not appear, the legend of King Ji was everywhere.
Li Shen looked at Jin Chunqiu's smile and felt that these two people were not here to congratulate him, so Li Shen just agreed and did not continue to let him praise him.
I am the ancestor of flattery, how could I not know why others flatter me?
Just then, the servants came to serve tea. Li Shen smiled and gave way to the two of them:
"Come, you two have tea."
He said, picking up the cup and taking a sip.
The two of them were also from noble backgrounds. Although Silla had been fighting for years, their nobles were not in decline.
The tea ceremony culture of the Tang Dynasty had long been spread to Silla, especially Li Shen's fried tea, which was also sold to Silla by merchants.
The tea in the Boutique Pavilion is known as a high-end product that only the literati, princes and nobles can taste. It is even more sought after by the Silla nobles who are passionate about Tang culture.
It's just that the price was too high in Silla, but it just showed the nobility of the nobility.
"Good tea." Jin Chunqiu took a sip and couldn't help but admired that this tea was indeed different from what he drank in Silla.
You can still smell the fragrance of this tea even if you don't drink it.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji is indeed well-deserved for his reputation. Everyone says that all the tea used by Prince Ji is of the highest quality, as you can see from this tea today.
This tea is truly the king of teas. I wonder if this tea is sold by Boutique Pavilion? How much is the selling price? "Jin Chunqiu did not forget to praise him again and finally asked.
"Haha, we don't have this tea boutique in the pavilion. This is tribute tea, which is only available in the palace and Prince Ji's palace.
There may be some in the homes of other princes, as a reward from His Majesty.
As for the price, it’s too high so I won’t mention it. "
Li Shen pretended a little, and he was used to showing off himself in front of these people who had never seen the world. It was a lot of fun.
"Oh? Is it very expensive? The price of the tea from the Boutique Pavilion has more than doubled when it arrived in Silla.
Every tael of high-grade tea is worth gold.
Is this tea also very expensive in the Tang Dynasty? "Jin Chunqiu was a little puzzled. He had been to the Boutique Pavilion after coming to Datang.
Seeing the price of Jingjingge tea, he knew that the businessmen of Tang Dynasty were too shady.
Li Shen felt funny in his heart. The tea sold to Silla was only second-class tea. The first-class tea had long been bought by the royal relatives, princes, nobles, and wealthy businessmen of the Tang Dynasty.
If you don’t drink enough for yourself, why can you sell it to Silla?
They are already much better than the north. What Li Shen's caravan sells to the grassland are tea cakes, the kind made for tea.
"Haha, you are right. This kind of tea was made in Nanzhao, thousands of miles away, and then quickly transported to Chang'an."
Then Li Shen started bragging mode again and explained the tea making process.
What kind of woman who has not left the palace is hidden in her bellyband and needs to be refined for seventy-seven forty-nine days and go through ninety-nine and eighty-one processes.
Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon can finally be refined.
The father and son Jin Chunqiu and King Jin Wen listened as if they were listening to a fairy tale. They looked at each other and looked at the serious-faced King Ji, and murmured in their hearts.
What King Ji said didn't sound like he was refining tea, but rather like he was refining the elixir of life.
"It turns out that this tea is so rare, no wonder it has such miraculous effects."
In the end, Jin Chunqiu agreed regardless of whether Li Shen's words were true or false.
King Ji said that drinking this tea can prolong life and strengthen the body, women can drink it to beautify their skin, and men can drink this tea to strengthen their roots and restore their strength.
Li Shen said he was thirsty, took a sip of tea and finally concluded:
"So, this tea is hard to find, and I spent millions to build a workshop in Nanzhao."
"This kind of fairy tea is worth ten thousand yuan." King Jin Wen also said in a flattering tone.
The stones behind him all rolled their eyes, and the prince himself didn't believe what he said.
Seeing that King Ji was not following the routine, Jin Chunqiu had no choice but to get straight to the topic. He was here for something.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, the foreign minister has some problems. I would like to ask to see His Highness Prince Ji. I wonder if I can help solve the problem for Jin."
"Oh? If you have any problems, you might as well just ask."
Here it comes, Li Shen thought to himself, I don’t believe you can hold it in.
"It's like this. The foreign minister is also a scholar in Silla, and he yearns for the Tang Dynasty. It's not just me.
Many scholars in Silla yearned for the Tang Dynasty and hoped to learn the knowledge and culture of the Tang Dynasty.
However, because Silla's papermaking technology was backward, only a small number of people had the opportunity to come into contact with the books of the Tang Dynasty.
Foreign ministers came here and saw how cheap Tang Dynasty paper was, and heard that it was made in the workshop of His Highness Prince Ji.
So I would like to ask His Highness Prince Ji how to increase the production of paper? "
Li Shen looked at Jin Chunqiu. He was not a good person. It turned out that he was worried about his papermaking technology.
Over the years, his papermaking mill has continuously improved its technology, and it has become many times more advanced and perfect than the original.
Nowadays, paper is no longer a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty.
But papermaking in other countries is still in its most primitive stages.
This Jin Chunqiu was really shrewd. He did not ask directly, but used roundabout tactics to win sympathy.
"Increase production, let me think about it." Lao Shi pretended to think about it.
"Huh? Isn't this just a matter of increasing the number of people? Ten people won't work, just a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand.
Won’t the production volume increase by then? "
"Well...Your Highness Prince Ji, even so, the cost is still very high, and hiring craftsmen also requires wages.
Moreover, our paper is not as good as Datang's paper, and it is very unclear when writing.
I dare to ask His Highness King Ji how to solve this problem. I wonder if King Ji can tell you? "
(Today I suddenly discovered that there are many pirated copies of this book. I changed the name and updated it exactly the same.
Some don't even have names.
It really affects my mood.
There are too many, and there is no other way. If you pirate, please add the author's name. Thanks. )
