Li Anran originally thought that his plan to buy land to build an academy would not be answered so quickly. But he didn't expect that after practicing the sword, taking a shower, and eating a pretty good lunch, in the morning

Fatty Wu, who had left in a hurry, appeared in front of him again. But this time, he was not the only one who came to Xiaoyao Villa. Actually, Gu Bangcai, the head of the county, and Zheng Chenggong, who had a mysterious identity, also came with him.

"Come here, serve some tea." After inviting the people into the front hall, Li Anran ordered.

After a short time, a blue and white porcelain Sancai Kuai Ke Cup with fine texture and pure color, which is a type of covered bowl teacup that was spread only in later generations, was placed in front of everyone. It was said to be a tea cup, although this Sancai Kuai Ke Cup was placed in front of everyone.

The guest cup is divided into two parts, one is the teacup that can be used as both a lid and a container, and the other is a teapot. Put a few tea leaves in the teapot, and then let the boiled mountain spring water sit for a while and pour it in.

When serving tea, the tea cup is used as a lid and buckled on top of the pot. When drinking, you only need to take out the tea cup, and then pour the brewed tea in the pot. In this way, the tea leaves will remain in the pot.

In addition, the capacity of a pot is just enough for one cup, so you can drink it as you go without worrying about the tea getting cold. At the same time, even if you make tea but don’t drink it, you can cover the teacup to keep it warm.

The tea used this time is not the kind of tea produced in the Tang Dynasty that was not roasted, but two jars of Nanjing specialty rain flower tea that Li Anran picked up from a Lishui family in the modern time and space. It can be collected by Hu Jing.

Tea that would not be served to non-distinguished guests is naturally not comparable to the ordinary products sold outside.

Facing this strange tea set, Gu Bangcai and the others, who had seen those "treasures" before, also knew that this thing must have been brought down from the upper world by the mysterious Chunyang Master in front of them. Although they didn't know how to use it, they didn't know how to use it.

No excuses, but invariably paying attention to the movements of someone sitting in the top position.

Different from Kung Fu tea, which pays attention to process and techniques, this brewing method of drinking tea is very simple. Under Li Anran’s demonstration, everyone present learned how to drink it in a short time. Waiting for the tea to flow from the exquisite pot

The contents of the body are poured into the tea cup. Although the portion of a cup of tea is not much, the tea soup that is like solid blue has some profound meaning.

The first impression of the tea when entering the mouth is that it is bland, without any salt or sugar taste, and there is no ginger or green onion. Gu Bangcai and others who are accustomed to drinking traditional tea soup still feel a little uncomfortable. But after the tea falls down the throat and into the stomach,

But I found that the originally light bitter taste actually took on a sweet taste inadvertently. After getting used to it a little, it made people feel like they were still lingering and reluctant to part with it.

"The special-grade Yuhua tea has a round green shape, like pine needles, with pekoe, and is tight and straight. After brewing, the tea color is green, clear, and has a quiet aroma. After drinking a cup, it will refresh your heart and leave the fragrance on your teeth and cheeks. It has a mellow taste and a sweet aftertaste.

What I brought this time can be regarded as the best in the world." Li Anran explained with a smile after finishing a cup of tea.

In fact, this kind of quick cup does not reflect the essence of the tea ceremony. A truly good way to drink tea must be at least like the tea ceremony that Hu Jing used in the office. Unfortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, tables were divided for receptions and banquets.

Each person had a table and then sat there on his knees. Using the tea ceremony method of later generations could not reflect the artistic conception at all. Of course, the more important thing was that Li Anran was too lazy to go to such trouble.

"As expected of a wonderful thing brought down from the upper world by a real person, the tea is really good!" After tasting it carefully, Gu Bangcai, the county official, couldn't help but beat the folding fan on his left hand and said with emotion.

Glancing at the folding fan in the opponent's hand, Li Anran knew without guessing that it was one of the batch of folding fans that Zheng Chenggong had brought to the pot before. Seeing the opponent's similar movements to his before, Li Anran couldn't help but secretly smile and thought: "Look.

When it comes to things like being elegant, discord will be sought after by literati in any dynasty. To a certain extent, this can be considered a trend."

"What the county magistrate said makes sense. Not only is the tea good, but this tea set is also wonderful!" Zheng Chenggong, who looked more like a scholar than a shopkeeper, praised with a smile while playing with the blue and white porcelain tea sets that were only matured and perfected in the Yuan Dynasty.

"This method of brewing is actually to taste the bitter taste first and then the sweetness. If it is to regulate the inner abdomen, the traditional method is better." Li Anran, who knows that the purpose of drinking tea in ancient times is very different from that of later generations, said with a smile.

.

"Master, why is this?" After drinking a cup of tea, Wu Chengen, who was also conquered by this unique taste, asked while gesturing to the servant waiting next to him to fill it up again.

"Ordinary people drink tea, firstly to replenish salt, and secondly to get rid of the cold. Among ordinary people, how many of us are not short of salt, have no worries about food and clothing, and can take care of our bodies at any time?" Playing with the hands.

Li Anran explained with a smile.

"By what the real person said, do you mean that this method of tea tasting can only be spread among wealthy and luxurious people?" Gu Bangcai couldn't help but ask after hearing some of the meaning in these words.

"What the county magistrate said is wrong. As long as the common people all over the world can live in houses, cultivate fields, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have some money on hand, I want to spread this method of tea tasting, and

What's the difficulty?" Li Anran shook his head and said with a pun.

"Live in a house, cultivate fields, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and still have some money on hand? If the world can really be like this, I will die without regrets!" Gu Bangcai, who kept repeating the words in his mouth, looked at the case in front of him.

Teacup's expression revealed a bit of determination.

"So, what the real person said before about building an academy was also to enable the people to live in houses, cultivate fields, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have some money on hand?" Sitting opposite the county magistrate.

Zheng Chenggong suddenly said.

"I want all the people in the world to live in houses, cultivate fields, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have some money on hand. But relying only on academies is not enough." Li Anran shook his head and smiled.

road.

"I would like to hear the details!" Gu Bangcai, a county official, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Anran, who was sitting at the top, and said.

"Haha... Your Majesty, please rise." Seeing that the topic was guided by him as expected, Li Anran sat there steadily and accepted the bow, and then said: "In this world, there are

Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants all come together."

"Among these four peoples, scholars are the highest, agriculture is the foundation, and industry and business are at the bottom. However, there is a saying in the mortal world in my upper realm, which says: There is no stability without farming, there is no wealth without work, and there is no life without business.

.If these three people can use them properly, a prosperous people and a strong country will be around the corner."

"The people are rich and the country is strong? Shouldn't it be true that the country is rich and the people are strong?" After carefully savoring the meaning of the words, Gu Bangcai asked with some confusion.

"The country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are rich and the country is strong. They seem to be different, but in fact there is no difference. The key lies in the character "human"." Li Anran, who was not surprised that the other party would ask such a question, said with a smile.

"Human?" Zheng Chenggong asked, frowning slightly.

"Yes, Mencius once said that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. As the saying goes: When the people are united, Mount Tai will move. Only when the people are united can the country be rich and the people strong. Only when the people are united can the country be strong.

Otherwise, there are many lessons to be learned from the past." At the end of the sentence, Li Anran, who deliberately did not say anything, shook his head, picked up the tea cup and tasted it pretending to be profound.

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the entire front hall suddenly became silent. Not to mention that Gu Bangcai, who was the lord of the county, and Zheng Chenggong, who had a very mysterious origin, thought carefully about the meaning of these words, and even ignored

Wu Chengen, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have thought of something.

Using tea as a cover, Li Anran, who had a clear view of everyone's expressions, couldn't help but thought with a smile: "It is said that the highest level of deceiving people is to allow the listener to figure out the content or even loopholes that the speaker does not know.

I just don’t know what kind of effect my deception will have on these three ancients."

I don’t know if this topic is too sensitive, and it’s inconvenient to have a servant next to me. That is, when Li Anran slowly finished tasting the cup of tea in front of him, Gu Bangcai and Zheng Chenggong, who returned to normal one after another, seemed to have really thought of something.

What, I didn’t continue this topic.

"Zhenren, regarding the land for the academy, I, as a respecter of Lantian County, should do my best. But I don't know where the master plans to build the academy and how much land he plans to occupy?" Gu Bangcai, who looked at the other person with a strange look in his eyes, asked.
