Seeing that Lü Qiang remained unmoved, Cao Song was slightly taken aback, and then he came up with his tried-and-true method.
In the past, whenever Cao Song came to the Imperial Household Department to beg for money, if Lü Qiang refused, Cao Song would tell him to ask the Emperor. Every time Lü Qiang went to ask, Liu Hong would just chuckle and nod in agreement.
With such a large national treasury at his disposal, he still tries to take advantage of the Imperial Household Department. This is clearly telling Liu Hong that he only likes to take small advantages, and Liu Hong naturally won't say anything about it.
Lü Qiang couldn't help but snort, "Hmph... Hmph~ Grand Minister of Agriculture, I'm telling you plainly today, your methods won't work. I won't ask His Majesty either. In short, I won't give you a single one of those things you want today!"
"Huh? Who gave him that courage?"
Cao Song was taken aback by Lü Qiang's surprisingly tough attitude today.

"The remaining five cans of tea were all bestowed upon Dr. Gongshu Lian by His Majesty, didn't you know?"

"Um, Master, didn't you say you'd use it next time? I figured this would be next time, so I brought it!"
"That's perfect! Have them go and haul the coal! And quickly take me to Doctor Gongshu's house; I want to pay him a visit in person!"
"He's just a PhD, do you really need to visit him in person?" Old Xu looked at Cao Song with a surprised expression.
Cao Song glared at him. "Stop talking nonsense! He's not just an ordinary PhD anymore; he has tea! Hurry up, or it'll be too late!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Cao Song's urgency, Old Xu didn't dare to delay and quickly drove Cao Song to Gongshu Lian's residence.
