"Since the opening of the tea horse exchange, we have cooperated with the imperial court to discuss the tea system and sell the eight percent Mengshan tea to the imperial court. But they are so deceitful that they want us to sell all Mengshan tea to officials and prohibit private transactions."
Hu Quan paused when he glanced at Jiang Yin, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
He continued: "All of you here are big tea producers. There are also many tea merchants who have cooperated with each other for a long time. If this order is fully implemented, the consequences will be obvious."
Jiang Yin dropped her eyes and listened quietly.
The five peaks of Mengshan Mountain in Yazhou belong to four families, with Jiangjia accounting for two peaks, Shangqing Peak and Lingjiao Peak.
Shangqing Peak, on the left are Lingjiao Peak and Lingquan Peak, on the right are Ganlu Peak and Yunv Peak.
The one who just spoke was Hu Quan, the leader of the Hu family who occupied the Lingquan Peak.
In the past life, there was a problem in the tea mountain of Jiang's two peaks. My parents rushed from Chengdu to Yazhou overnight to deal with it.
Later, on the way back to attend her hairdressing ceremony, she was assassinated and killed.
The murderer fled, and a heavy rain washed away all traces.
In her previous life, she was immersed in sadness and panic. Even her parents' affairs were handled by her second uncle Zhang Yuanzhi, who was busy before and after.
It is for this reason that she, who is not familiar with the world, actually trusts Zhang Yuanzhi completely.
Not only did she listen to Zhang Yuanzhi's provocation, but on the first seven days of her parents' life, she drove away Mrs. Feng, the steward aunt of the tea house in Fucheng. He also let Second Uncle attend the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Jiang's Tea House the next day, that is, today.
Now that she is back from her rebirth, it is impossible for her to let Second Uncle come by himself.
Jiang Yin follows her mother's surname. To be exact, her father is an encumbrance. The tea farm is Jiang's ancestral industry.
But her Jiang family is very few, and she has only one daughter for three generations. And her mother is just an heir.
On weekdays, she and her parents live in the capital. In addition to managing the affairs of the government, they also run their own tea shops, mainly selling Mongolian camellia and scented tea.
On the other side of Mengshan, it is managed by the collateral clansmen of the Jiang family. During the tea picking season, her parents took her to live in Yazhou until the end of tea frying.
In the past, Jiang Yin learned most about tea frying, tea making and tea cooking. A few days ago and after hairdressing, her parents would start to teach her to manage the tea business.
Unexpectedly, people's wishes were not met, parents died miserably, the family declined and even the whole family was killed.
Recalling this, Jiang Yin felt a sharp pain and quickly recovered his mind to cover up the previous abnormality.
Fortunately, Chen Meng, the head of the Chen Family at the Jade Maiden Peak, said, and everyone's attention was focused on him, but they didn't notice her momentary abnormality.
Chen Meng did not express his own opinion, but only agreed: "Yes, we must unite to resist the new order."
Jiang Yin is impressed with this person. The Chen family was sentenced to exile and escaped death. The other two ethnic groups, like the Jiang family, ended up with a lot of people being killed.
Shen Gan, the leader of the Shen Family at the Ganlu Peak, sipped his tea and said slowly, "Two days ago, a tea merchant from Guanzhong was willing to pay twice the price to order the remaining 20% of my Mengshan tea. Not only that, he can also eat the remaining 20% of your tea. If the decree is implemented, it will cost you twice as much."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yuan, the second uncle, said in surprise. "Brother Shen is so secretive that I don't know about it."
Shen Gan laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, forgive me. I haven't just got the news. I have to prove it."
"How about the result? Is it reliable?" Hu Quanlian hurriedly asked. "Brother Shen can't hide such good things. The four Mengshan families are one, sharing weal and woe."
Ah~Jiang Yin sneers at me, like a bird of a feather!
Shen Gan replied, "Of course, of course, as long as we resist the New Deal together, the tea merchant..."
He didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was self-evident.
Zhang Yuanzhi hurriedly offered his hand and said, "Brother Shen is a righteous man. You should introduce me to Jiang's Tea House."
Chen Meng followed closely: "There is also my Chen's Tea House."
Profitable, of course, all want to be involved.
As soon as you speak to me, I will settle this matter. I have no intention of asking Jiang Yin.
So far, Jiang Yin knows what was discussed at the conference she didn't attend in her previous life.
If you guessed correctly, it was also because of this meeting, which caused the tragedy of the last Jiangshi.
Now that she has done it again, she will never do it again.
Jiang Yin sipped her tea and put down her cup.
She glanced at the tea cover that was still in her hand, then let it fall freely and returned with a bang.
There was a moment of silence in the hall. The good man Hu Quan quickly laughed and said, "World niece, do you have anything to say?"
They looked different. Zhang Yuanzhi hurriedly came out to make amends: "Don't blame me, my niece just lost her parents. It's just that she's distracted."
Jiang Yin glanced up at him, then hooked her lips and casually said, "Our Jiang family has inherited the tea planting spirit of the tea ancestor from generation to generation, guarded the imperial tea garden, and vowed to make Mengshan tea famous all over the world."
"However, this does not mean that Jiang will violate the imperial decree." She swept over several people with different faces. "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The Song Dynasty promoted the exchange of tea and horses, and soldiers will need good horses to defend their country. In this case, it is an honor for Jiang to do a little bit of work, and why oppose it?"
The previous war between the Imperial Court and the Western Xia Dynasty resulted in the "Horse Road Obstruction Event" in Shaanxi, and the northern Ma Yuan Road was cut off.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty had to change the location of the tea horse exchange from Qin, Feng, Xi, Tao and other states in the northwest to the southwest, opening up a new source of horses.
Therefore, Yazhou has become one of the important markets of the "Tea Horse Exchange" and one of the starting points of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
After the exchange of tea and horses, the court set up a tea horse company in Yazhou, and the county official served as the supervisor of seven kinds of tea to manage the tea horse trade.
Tea horse sauce is a good place to collect money. In the first year of its establishment, Yazhou Tea Horse sauce paid 400000 yuan of tea tax.
For this reason, the court ordered other departments not to interfere in tea and horse sauce affairs, and local officials must assist tea and horse sauce work.
Xu Shi tasted the benefits, and the tea supervisor was changed into a full-time worker. "Tea farms" were set up in Mingshan and Baizhang to "discuss" the tea in the whole county. Mengshan tea became a military commodity.
Recently, the tea horse company ordered the people in Sichuan and Shaanxi to sell all their tea to the officials. Private transactions were strictly prohibited.
All Mengshan tea was purchased by the government, which caused the opposition of all kinds of tea farmers and tea merchants, and this is why we have today's meeting.
……
Jiang Yin's decisive decision caused the meeting to end unhappily and Zhang Yuanzhi to lose face.
Zhang Yuanzhi, who had endured all the way back to Jiangfu, finally burst out his anger.
He pointed at Jiang Yin and angrily scolded, "What do you mean? Who asked me to go yesterday? If it wasn't for your father's sake, you thought I would take care of your Jiangshi mess?"
Jiang Yin stared at Zhang Yuanzhi, who was full of anger. He didn't know why he was blind in the previous life, and didn't see his true face.
She said sarcastically, "dare you ask Uncle Er, which sentence was wrong? Uncle Er's surname is Zhang, and the tea farm's surname is Jiang. When did Jiang's tea farm change its surname and let Uncle Er make the decision?"
