In addition to banquets, there were also senchas in social occasions among bureaucrats in the Tang Dynasty.

While cooking tea, drinking tea, chatting about government affairs. It can be said that it is okay to advance or retreat, which invisibly brings the relationship closer.

Jiancha is very elegant and popular. There are monks in Chang'an who love tea as if they are alive and have to drink dozens of bowls a day before they can stop.

At this moment, Li Linfu was personally cooking tea for Zheng Shuqing in the study room of Li Linfu's house in Pingkangfang, and the etiquette was comprehensive.

He was taking out the tea cake with bamboo clips and roasting it on charcoal fire. The charcoal was mixed with some kind of spice and made into the shape of a peony. At a glance, he knew it was not an ordinary product.

The tea cakes were hot evenly on the rack, and the inside and outside were roasted thoroughly.

Fresh tea roasted freshly, and then sencha make friends, a wonderful enjoyment.

The main procedures of the tea-sauce method are: roasting tea, grinding tea, sauce tea, and drinking tea. As for other pre-preparations, such as preparing utensils, choosing water, making fire, and waiting for soup, there will naturally be a servant to prepare for Li Linfu.

This left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty started with the step of moxibustion tea.

"I have already talked with Wei Jian. He is willing to take over the position of Jingzhao Yin. I will also operate from it and recommend him as Jingzhao Yin. As for the position of Minister of Revenue, I wonder what you think?"

Li Linfu took off the baked tea and grinded it into fine grains with a "tea grinder" made of bamboo, which looked very uniform.

In order to show their "nobleness", feudal nobles in the Tang Dynasty often had unusual persistence and love for certain "elegant etiquette", thus showing that they were different.

The most typical representative is that Li Longji loves music and dance and is proficient in this art.

Obviously, Li Linfu's skill in tea cultivation is very good. After all, he has been young, he has been in a low position, and has served and pleased others.

Li Linfu stopped and looked at Zheng Shuqing, who was sitting on the stool and said nothing.

"Everything is decided by Li Xiang."

Zheng Shuqing bowed down and couldn't bow deeply.

Li Linfu quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "What I promised must be counted. However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not a minor matter, and the Prince of the Imperial College should not recommend you to the throne for personal gain.

so what……"

"Li Xiang might as well speak out loud, and my subordinates listen carefully."

Zheng Shuqing pinched his cuffs nervously, looked at the other person and said, his heart was already in his throat.

"The Ministry of Revenue has a minister and several ministers, and each person is in charge of each other and does not overlap. You have never experienced it in the Ministry of Revenue, so even if you serve as the Minister of Revenue, you cannot do ordinary affairs. Do you understand this?"

Li Linfu poured the mountain spring water into a purple clay pot (tea kettle), and then put it on the blast furnace and boiled it.

This step seems simple on the surface, but in fact there are a lot of things in it.

The water is three boiling. When the "fish-eye" bubbles appear in boiling water and "slightly sound", it is the first boiling; then add appropriate amounts of salt flowers to season. When the water bubbles beside the kettle are rushing up like a spring, it is the second boiling.

Take out a scoop with a spoon and put it aside. Use a "bamboo clip" to stir it in the center of the tea kettle, and use "Ze" (a measuring instrument, made of bamboo, copper and other materials into a spoon or pan) to pour it into the purple clay kettle.

Wait for a while, the tea soup is like a splattering foam, which is the third boiling. At this time, pour the second boil that was previously taken into boiling water to stop the boiling, so that the water stops boiling.

Li Linfu did these actions in one go, looking at Zheng Shuqing with a little smugness, waiting for the other party's answer.

During the waiting time, he was cultivating soup flowers.

The thin soup is called "mo", and the thick soup is called "bu"; the thin and light soup is called "hua", which is the most wonderful one.

Only after cultivating the "soup flowers" can you drink tea, that is, using a scoop to scoop the tea into a bowl.

Some people describe the first boiled water as "a water film like black mica on the foam". This first scoop of water is also called "timeless";

The first, second, and third bowls that were scooped out later had a worse taste;

Fourth, in addition to the fifth bowl, "nothing can be drunk if you have to be thirsty." The powerful people are already very despised and will not drink it even if they die of thirst.

When drinking tea, you should keep the foam and cakes even to keep the tea flavor of each bowl the same. Boil one liter of water, and there is also the saying "Do to divide it into five bowls and drink it continuously by heat."

If you don’t have the first “可” tea minced tea, just cook three bowls to make the tea soup delicious and fragrant; secondly, cook five bowls, at most, you can’t exceed five bowls.

"Please use it!"

Li Linfu pushed the white porcelain tea cup placed on the silver saucer to Zheng Shuqing as a whole. This was the first bowl of tea.

It seems to be more than a bowl of tea, and it seems to be just a bowl of tea. The details depend on Zheng Shuqing's political IQ.

"My subordinates... let Li Xiang arrange it."

Zheng Shuqing gritted his teeth and said, picking up the teacup, enduring the slightly hot tea, and drinking it all in one go!

It should be a good tea, but it was too hot to taste it!

"This Minister of Revenue does nothing else, specializes in managing wealth for the central government and providing wars in Hexi. Do you have the confidence to take over?"

Li Linfu put away the smile on his face and asked softly.

"I'm willing!"

Zheng Shuqing suppressed his inner excitement and said almost as if he was roaring.

Taking this step is basically the fast lane. If the Minister of Revenue works well, he is the Minister of Revenue. If the Minister of Revenue goes up, he will be the Minister of Revenue. If he goes up, he will be the Minister of Revenue directly!

As long as he can reach this position, he is only two steps away from Li Linfu!

Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue is a place where it is easy to achieve results and trouble, depending on how personal abilities are.

This is not something that Mr. Nan Guo can be a slut like this!

"In the past few days, you have drafted a financial management memorial. If you write it well, I will hand it over to the saint and recommend you as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In this case, there should be no big problem.

Otherwise, the saint would definitely mind that you had refused to serve as Jingzhao Yin before."

Li Linfu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and it turned out to be fragrant.

"This method is safe..."

Zheng Shuqing said with a worried look on his face.

The financial management of the court actually includes two aspects.

The first aspect is to make good use of the taxes collected so that these taxes can be used scientifically without any loss during transportation.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what Zheng Shuqing wants to do, and he feels that he can also do it.

Another aspect, summarized in two words, is: making money.

In short, without causing mutiny or civilian change, it is right to let go of your hands and feet to make money.

Of course, the money you make must be compliant and legal. You can achieve your goal by formulating simple rules and there will be no trouble.

It sounds simple, but this kind of thing is like people from different eras doing the same Q&A question together, and there are multiple answers.

An easy-to-do question has been done by our predecessors!

Those that are not easy to do and are easily offended are either no one willing to do it, or are dismissed from office because officials who formulate and implement the regulations are counterattacked by conservative forces, resulting in the death of the people and the political severance.

He can't make money like this!

"What are the difficulties you have? If you have difficulties with the position of Minister of Revenue, I can recommend other candidates and then arrange a lower official position with you. Anyway, these are all up to you, and the original appearance doesn't matter.

For example, Wang Hui and the others are very interested in this position and will not make things difficult for me."

Li Linfu said slowly and poured another cup of tea for Zheng Shuqing, and this was the second cup.

Zheng Shuqing had a premonition that Li Linfu would probably see him off after drinking these three cups of tea.

"I'll go back and prepare."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Li Linfu, turned around and left.

"This position is very special. It is very risky to barely get on the throne. It delays the saint's major affairs. You can't cut your head for no matter how many of your heads are. After you figure it out, I will reply to me tomorrow."

Li Linfu's cold and quiet instructions came from behind Zheng Shuqing.

...

"Anyway, this thing is like this, and then this is like this, and finally I come back."

In the Tang Dynasty, Fang Chongyong was patient in the Fang family house in Yongjiafang and informed Zhang Xun and others about all the things that happened around the past three days.

He spoke and gestured, and even Li Longji instructed the people of the Ministry of Rites to destroy Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan's future in the imperial examination.

"It's better if you don't win this year. Zhang Xianggong's path is no longer available. Yan Tingzhi City has been dismissed from office. The court situation is in turmoil. It may not be a good thing to win the first place at this time."

Kui Li couldn't help but sigh.

Of course he was unwilling to accept it. He thought that this imperial examination would be sure to win, but he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns. The noble man who promised to recommend him was about to fall, but he was beaten down by the emperor himself. The difficulty of the imperial examination was something he had never thought of before.

However, Li Kui was not worried at all, because after this "political investment", he must have been "registered" with Li Longji, and he may have the chance to be "promoted beyond the level".

Who knows what will happen in the future?

"We are all fine, but I didn't expect Fang Jieshuai to have such a big face."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh and sigh. At that time, he thought Fang Chongyong would have been dead for a lifetime after being imprisoned. Unexpectedly, he was released after being imprisoned for three days. But thinking about it, a half-year-old child still did something that suited the people's will.

If Li Longji had "vigorously punished", wouldn't he just prove to the world that he really had no mind and was unable to vent his child's anger?

Li Longji has been the emperor for decades and grew up with the palace struggle since childhood. He will definitely not make such low-level mistakes.

"Young man returns safely today, so I am happy to congratulate you. I will bring the wine and food."

Fang Dafu grabbed Fang Laique who was stunned and greeted Fang Chongyong with a smile.
