Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng waved his hand: "Serve the food, but this banner can only be hung for three days at most, understand?"

Zhang Laoliu smiled obsequiously: "I understand the rules! Don't worry, sir!"

"Wait a minute! Clear everyone out of this floor! Arrange for them to go downstairs. I don't like being disturbed while eating."

Fang Zheng said slowly and leisurely.

After speaking, he gave Zhang Biao a look.

Zhang Biao immediately understood and ran to the stairway, shouting: "Tonight, all expenses are on Young Master Fang!!!"

The guests on the second floor went downstairs happily, and cheers like a tsunami came from downstairs.

Zhang Laoliu's face beamed with joy. Good things really happen when the county magistrate comes! This wave made a profit!

Then, he happily wanted to go downstairs, but when he looked up, he saw Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang still sitting in their seats.

He ingratiatingly said: "The two of you, please move. Our county magistrate is treating you to this meal today, it's free."

Emperor Jing sat in his seat without speaking.

Guo Tianyang said in a shrill voice: "We can afford to pay for our own meals! We don't need anyone else to treat us!"

"This..." Zhang Laoliu looked embarrassed.

Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "You two, if you are willing to go downstairs to eat, I can give you a jar of wine before you leave! What do you think?"

Emperor Jing still didn't say anything, quietly sipping his tea.

Guo Tianyang said with a gloomy face in a low voice: "Get out of here, don't spoil my lord's elegant mood!"

Zhang Laoliu had no choice and looked at Fang Zheng for help.

Fang Zheng was sizing up the two people in front of him with interest.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since you don't want to leave, friends, can you do me the honor of eating together?"

Emperor Jing turned his head, smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and walked over without any politeness.

Guo Tianyang quickly followed.

Zhang Laoliu also seized the opportunity to go downstairs quickly.

After taking a seat, Fang Zheng said: "You two look unfamiliar, are you new to this area?"

After Emperor Jing sat down, he kept looking at Fang Zheng, his eyes without any concealment.

"I have met County Magistrate Fang. I am Li Long, doing porcelain business in the capital. This is my accountant, Guo Da."

Fang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

So, he said indifferently: "What brings you two to Taoyuan County?"

"We were originally going to Hengjiang Prefecture to purchase goods, and we passed by this place along the way."

Hengjiang Prefecture? Fang Zheng became alert.

"Why would you detour through Taoyuan County to go to Hengjiang Prefecture? Shouldn't it be faster for you two to take the official road directly from the capital?"

However, Guo Tianyang had already prepared his explanation and interjected: "I heard that there was a landslide on the official road, and the road was blocked. We were afraid of accidents, so we detoured on purpose, and we accidentally came to Taoyuan County."

"Then when are you leaving?"

"We're not leaving! We see that there are so many novel things in Taoyuan County. If we bring them back to the capital, the profit will be huge. I wonder if County Magistrate Fang agrees?"

Fang Zheng smiled: "Excellent! Taoyuan County welcomes everything, especially merchants."

"To be honest, the latest ceramic toilet bowls fired in our Taoyuan County are absolutely amazing!"

"The shape is complex and huge. Such porcelain is top-notch wherever you take it!"

Hearing the word toilet bowl, Guo Tianyang's expression was as if he had eaten a fly.

"But, this thing is not suitable for export. If you two have customized needs, you can also cooperate with us!"

"You can talk about anything you like. Finally, you just need to sign a contract at the county government office."

"Do you have anything you like now?"

Emperor Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "To be ashamed, I was really surprised when I first arrived in your precious land."

"Everything here has opened my eyes."

"Just talking about this tea, even the emperor in the palace can't taste such a flavor."

"Huh? You don't have it in the capital?"

"No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his face full of indignation!

"Shut up! Mr. Li, don't speak recklessly! How dare you slander the Emperor!"

"All land within the four seas belongs to the Emperor! How can His Majesty not be able to drink this mere tea?"

"Thinking back to those years, His Majesty personally led the expedition, braving the wind and dew, so that the world could be peaceful."

"Now that the four seas are settled, His Majesty is still working hard for the people of the world in the court, without the slightest slackness."

"Without His Majesty, there would be no Taoyuan County! Without Taoyuan County, there would be no this tea!"

"But this mere tea is not available in the capital?! Thinking of this, my heart aches! I wish I could fly over and personally brew a pot of tea for His Majesty!"

"Since even His Majesty, who is far away in the capital, cannot drink this tea, how can I have the face to drink it again! It is better not to drink this tea!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

After speaking, he poured the tea directly on the ground and sat down with a righteous look.

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes behind him. It seemed that the rhetoric was similar when dealing with the Qian Kingdom merchants a few years ago.

Fang Zheng also quibbled that this was called preventing problems before they happened, and first establishing himself as a patriot, so that he could defend himself if he ever left Taoyuan County one day!

My Fang Zheng's patriotic heart can be seen by the sun and the moon!

Emperor Jing held the teacup, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

It was not good to hold this hand, and it was not good to put it down. It was stiff on the spot for a while.

Guo Tianyang was even more stunned, looking around.

Who is this talking to!? Why did he suddenly start acting!

Damn it! Fortunately, Fang Zheng is not a eunuch! He can actually flatter from afar!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Emperor Jing again and whispered: "Long live the Emperor!"

Fang Zheng's ears twitched, and he said seriously: "Mr. Guo! Loving the Emperor should not stay on your lips! You must keep it in your heart at all times like me!"

"How many people in the court praise His Majesty on their lips, but secretly do things that contradict His Majesty. How are these people different from animals!"

NMB! It seems like I'm being implied!

Eunuch Guo's face quickly turned black, and he glanced at Emperor Jing with a guilty conscience, and said aggrievedly: "County Magistrate Fang is right, that's what I think!"

Emperor Jing's face gradually turned rosy. He had heard a lot of flattery, and he was already immune to it. This unique way was the first time. In addition to embarrassment, there was also an unexpected sense of coolness.

Fang Zheng changed the subject: "Speaking of this tea, it was specially fried by the tea master in our Taoyuan County."

"The flavor is unique! If it is brought to the capital, those princes and nobles will definitely snap it up, so that our emperor can also drink it!"

"I wonder if you two are interested in this tea?"

Guo Tianyang's face twisted for a while. So you tm just want to sell tea! Going around in circles!

"Eh? Mr. Guo, what's wrong with your face?"

"It's nothing!"

Emperor Jing came back to his senses and couldn't help being a little speechless, but he had to continue talking along with him.

"This tea is very good, but what is the price?"

"Ten taels of silver for one liang of tea!"

"Ten taels!" Guo Tianyang shuddered. Emperor Jing may not be familiar with the price of this thing, but he is!

In the capital, ordinary tea can be bought for one jin with one liang of silver!

Even the best tea is around ten taels, of course, a very small number of rare teas are still very expensive and the yield is scarce.

But this tea is obviously ordinary tea that is everywhere in Taoyuan County.

"It's a bit...expensive," Guo Tianyang hesitated.

"Is ten taels of silver expensive? Not expensive! What's wrong with selling ten taels for tea that the emperor has never drunk!"

"........"
