Chapter 59 The people are rich and the country is strong?

Li Anran originally thought that the matter of buying land and building academy would not be responding so quickly. But unexpectedly, after practicing the knife, taking a shower, and having another pretty good lunch, Fatty Wu, who hurriedly left in the morning, appeared in front of him again. This time, he was not the only one who came to Xiaoyao Villa, but even Gu Bangcai, the honor of a county, and Zheng Chenggong, who was mysterious, also came together.

"Come on, serve the tea." After inviting the person into the front hall, Li Anran ordered.

Not long after, a blue and white porcelain three-cai tea cup with a delicate texture and pure color, which was a kind of cover bowl tea cup that was only spread in later generations, was placed in front of everyone. It was called a tea cup. Although this kind of three-cai tea cup is divided into two parts, one is a tea cup that can be used as a lid or a container, and the other is a teapot. Put a little tea leaves in the teapot, and then put the boiled mountain spring water for a while to brew it.

When serving tea, the tea cup is pressed on the top of the pot body as a lid. When drinking, you only need to take out the tea cup and pour the brewed tea water from the pot body into it. In this way, the tea leaves will remain in the pot body, and the capacity of a pot is just enough for one cup. Drink it as you rinse it, and you don’t have to worry about the tea cooling. At the same time, even if you have not brewed the tea, you can cover it with a tea cup to keep it warm.

The tea used this time is not the kind produced by the Tang Dynasty time and space, but the two cans of Nanjing specialty Yuhua tea that Li Anran took from Lishui people in modern time and space. The tea that can be collected by Hu Jing and will not be taken out for entertainment is naturally not comparable to the ordinary goods sold outside.

Facing this strange tea set, Gu Bangcai and others who had seen the "treasures" before, also knew that this thing must have been brought down by the mysterious Chunyang Zhenren in front of him from the upper realm. Although he didn't know how to use it, he was not embarrassed, but he paid attention to the movements of someone sitting in the upper position.

Unlike Kung Fu tea, which emphasizes process and techniques, this brewing method is very simple. Under Li Anran's demonstration, everyone present learned how to drink it after a while. When the tea water poured into the tea cup from the exquisite pot, although the amount of tea was not large, the tea soup that looked like green was a bit deeper.

The first feeling when the tea is in the mouth is light, without any salt and sugar, nor with ginger and green onion. This makes Gu Bangcai and others who are used to drinking traditional tea soup still feel a little uncomfortable. However, after the tea falls into the stomach through the throat, they find that the originally light bitter taste actually brings a sweet taste. After a little adaptation, it makes people feel unfulfilled and reluctant to leave.

"The first-class Yuhua tea is round and green in shape, like a pine needle, with white hair, and tight and straight. After brewing, the tea is green, clear and fragrant. Drink a cup, it will refresh you, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, with a mellow taste and sweet aftertaste. What I bring this time is also the best food in the mortal world." Li Anran, who tasted a cup of tea, explained with a smile.

In fact, this kind of quick-climbing cup cannot reflect the essence of the tea ceremony. At least it is a good way to drink tea is like the tea ceremony that Hu Jing used in the office. Unfortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a reception or a banquet, they used a separate table system, each person had a table table and then knelt there. The method of using the tea ceremony in later generations could not reflect the artistic conception at all. Of course, more importantly, Li Anran was too lazy to be so troublesome.

"It is worthy of being a wonderful thing brought by a real person from the upper realm. It is indeed a good tea!" After savoring it carefully, Gu Bang, the county magistrate, couldn't help but knock the folding fan in his left hand on his left hand and sighed.

After scanning the folding fan in the other party's hand, Li Anran knew without guessing that this was one of the folding fans that Zheng Chenggong had picked up for Yiguo. Looking at the other party's actions similar to his previous ones, he couldn't help but smile secretly and thought: "It seems that Fengya is not in any dynasty, and will be sought after by literati and scholars. To some extent, this is also a trend."

"The county magistrate's words are reasonable. Not only is the tea good, but this tea set is also wonderful!" Playing with the blue and white porcelain tea set that was mature and perfected in the Yuan Dynasty, he was more like a literati than a shopkeeper Zheng Chenggong, who was like a shopkeeper, praised with a smile.

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

"Real person, why is this?" Wu Chengen, who was also conquered by this unique taste after a cup of tea, asked while signaling the servants who were serving him to fill him up.

"Ordinary people eat tea, one is to supplement salt, and the other is to remove cold air. Among ordinary people, there are people who are not short of salt, don't worry about food and clothing, and can regulate their bodies at any time?" Li Anran explained with a smile while playing with the tea cup in his hand.

"The true person's words mean that this method of tea tasting can only be spread to the rich and herd families?" Gu Bang, who heard some of the meanings of this sentence, couldn't help but ask.

"The county magistrate is a bad word. As long as the people in the world can live in a house, farm and farm, eat and wear full, and wear warmly, and have some extra money on their hands. What's the difficulty of spreading this method of tea tasting?" Shaking his head, Li Anran said with a pun.

"Living in a house, farming and farming, eating full and dressing warmly, and having some extra money on your hands? If the world can really do this, I will die without regrets!" Gu Bangcai, who followed him and looked at the look of the teacup in front of the desk, revealed a bit of determination.

"In this way, what the real person said before was to build academies was to allow the people to live in houses, farm and farm, eat and wear full food, and have some extra money on their hands?" Zheng Chenggong, sitting opposite the county magistrate, suddenly said.

"I want the people in the world to live in houses, farm and farm, eat and wear full food, and have some extra money on their hands. If they rely solely on the academy, they are not able to catch up with their strength." Li Anran, who shook his head, said with a smile.

"I wish to hear it clearly!" Gu Bangcai, a county magistrate, suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Anran, who was sitting in the upper head, and said.

"Haha... the county magistrate asked." Seeing that the topic was indeed guided by himself as expected, Li Anran sat there steadily and received this worship, and then said: "In this world, there are scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants."

"Among these four peoples, scholars are the best, agriculture is the foundation, and labor and business are the last. However, there is a saying in the mortal world in my upper realm, saying: No farming is not stable, no work is not rich, and no business is not alive. If these three people can be used properly, the people are rich and the country is strong just around the corner."

"The people are rich and the country is strong? A real person should not be rich and the people are strong?" After savoring the meaning of the words, Gu Bang asked in a little uncertainty.

"The country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are rich and the country is strong. It seems to be different, but in fact it is not different. The key is that the word "one person is a person." Li Anran, who was not surprised that the other party would ask this question, smiled.

"People?" Zheng Chenggong, who was beside him, asked with a frown.

"That's right, Mencius once said that the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least. As the saying goes: People's hearts are united, and Mount Tai moves. Only when people are united can the country be strong. Only when people are united can the people be rich can the country be strong. Otherwise, there are so many lessons from the past." At the end, Li Anran, who deliberately did not say anything, shook his head, picked up the teacup and tasted it in a very profound way.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became silent. Not to mention Gu Bangcai, the lord of a county, and Zheng Chenggong, who had a mysterious origin, thought carefully about the meaning of these words. Even Wu Chengen, who was sitting by the side regardless of his image, seemed to have thought of something.

Using tea as a cover-up, Li Anran, who looked at everyone's expressions, couldn't help but smile and thought: "It is said that the highest level of fooling people is to allow listeners to make up for content or even loopholes that the speaker does not know. He just doesn't know what effect my foolings can have on these three ancients."

I don’t know if this topic is too sensitive, and there are servants next to me who are inconvenient. That is, Li Anran slowly finished the cup of tea in front of him and returned to normal. Gu Bangcai and Zheng Chenggong seemed to have really thought of something and did not continue with this topic.

"Real person, as a Lantian County, I should do my best to use the academy. I just don't know where the academy is going to be built and how big the area it is going to occupy?" Gu Bangcai, who looked at the other party, asked.
