Things in the palace are naturally extremely efficient.
It only took Guo Tianyang one afternoon to instruct his men to find a good location and decorate the shop, and he also obtained dozens of ready-made exquisite porcelain vases.
The location is naturally excellent, as it is where many wealthy people in the capital gather.
The archway was hung brightly on it, eliminating all other complicated procedures.
The next morning court session.
All the officials gathered in front of the Fengtian Hall, and Guo Tianyang deliberately took a detour and passed by the officials.
He was holding a tray with a pot of tea on it, the lid half open.
Seeing Eunuch Guo walking towards them in small steps from a distance, all the officials looked at each other in surprise.
Eunuch Guo always appears with His Majesty on weekdays, so why did he pass by the Fengtian Palace today?
Guo Tianyang gradually walked into the crowd, and his pace began to slow down...
Li Yansong asked curiously, "Eunuch Guo, why are you the only one here today? Where is His Majesty?"
Guo Tianyang's eyes lit up and he quickly went over with the tea.
"Mr. Li, I am here to prepare tea for His Majesty today. His Majesty will arrive later."
Tea? Do we need to prepare this specially? There was no such thing in the past when attending court?
Many people began to wonder, and at the same time they smelled a fresh and elegant fragrance.
His feet moved over unconsciously, and his eyes kept looking at Guo Tianyang's hand.
Li Yansong asked curiously, "Eh? What kind of tea is this, Eunuch Guo? The soup is clear and the fragrance is long-lasting. Why haven't you seen Your Majesty drink it before?"
Here it comes! I was just waiting for you to ask! Guo Tianyang was delighted.
Then he said loudly: "Your Majesty discovered this tea by chance in a tea house in the capital a few days ago."
"This tea tastes fresh and elegant. Drinking it can boost your spirits and make you more energetic. Your Majesty will love it once you try it."
"No! The old tea has now been replaced with this new tea."
After hearing what he said, a discussion began to spread among the crowd:
"Yes! This smell is a little unusual, fragrant! It's fragrant!"
"Hey! This tea tastes a bit like the Tusong tea from my Hengjiang Prefecture, but not quite. Hmm... It smells really good."
"Eunuch Guo, what is the name of this tea?"
Guo Tianyang laughed: "This tea is called Dapin Tianxian Tea! I heard that drinking it regularly can prolong life, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the essence, and it is known as a treasure for men!"
"Oh my! The Great Fairy Tea sounds extraordinary!"
"Ah? I didn't expect that Eunuch Guo also understands the treasures of men!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
...........
I don't know who said this, but the crowd suddenly burst into laughter.
Damn it!
Guo Tianyang's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and his eyes kept roaming among the officials. He really wanted to find the grandson who had just shouted at him and tear him into pieces!
I was insulted for doing something I had to do! It was all Fang Zhengyi's fault!
After searching for a long time without any results, Guo Tianyang had to give up in disappointment.
"Everyone, it's alright, I'm leaving now. It's windy outside and the tea will get cold soon. I can't afford to let His Majesty suffer the consequences!"
After saying that, Guo Tianyang turned around and was about to leave.
Li Yansong quickly stopped him and rubbed his hands nervously.
He was somewhat tempted. This treasure for men that could strengthen the kidneys and refresh the mind, Lao Li also wanted to try it.
After all, he is over 60 years old. In recent years, he feels that his health is getting worse. In addition to back and leg pain, he often feels sleepy when working in a public housing unit.
He could only drink some cold water to refresh himself. He couldn't get used to the tea with added ingredients. Not only was the taste too strong, but he always had a mouthful of residue.
This clear soup tea smells very fresh and can also refresh the mind and strengthen the kidneys.
If you have this kind of man's treasure, you must try it no matter what!
"Eunuch Guo, is this tea really as good as you say?"
"No way! It's not me who said it, it's His Majesty! If His Majesty said it, how could it be false?" Guo Tianyang looked at Li Yansong with a squint.
Li Yansong waved his hands quickly and said, "No! No! Your Majesty thinks it's good, so it must be good!"
"So... where can I buy it?"
Guo Tianyang smiled slightly, the big fish was hooked!
If the cabinet chief sets a good example, others will naturally follow suit, and there will be no worries about the sales of tea.
Li Yansong was a senior official of two dynasties and his family was also a big landlord. Although tea at five hundred taels per catty was expensive, he could definitely afford it.
"This tea was purchased by the palace. I don't remember where I bought it, but I can ask for you."
"Is there anything else? If not, then I will leave first."
Li Yansong bowed, and Guo Tianyang turned around with a smug expression on his face.
......
Inside the Fengtian Hall, all the ministers are seated.
Emperor Jing sat high on the dragon throne, holding a teacup in his hand, constantly stirring the floating tea leaves with the cup lid.
The people below looked at the emperor drinking tea eagerly.
The fragrance wafted downwards, and many people felt thirsty and licked their lips unconsciously.
After finishing a cup of tea, Emperor Jing slowly spoke.
"My dear ministers, I have not been in the capital these few days. If there is any important matter, please bring it up for discussion."
Zhang Shi, the Minister of Revenue, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report to make. It is the news I just received yesterday. The heavy rains in Jianjiang have washed away two dams."
"Half a month ago, the number of people affected by the disaster exceeded 3,000, and there was no food shortage. Now the governor and the governor have applied to the Ministry of Revenue for 30,000 taels of silver to recruit civilians to build dams for disaster relief."
"However, there have been so many disaster victims in the past two years that the Ministry of Revenue has already overspent. If it wants to balance other matters, the Ministry of Revenue can only spend a maximum of 20,000 taels now."
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
Emperor Jing closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
