"It seems that the Buddhist and Taoist missionaries have opened up the situation, there is a village in Tubo where more than 1,000 people have all left the Shenming Religion and converted to Buddhism and Taoism respectively, this matter has a great impact in Tubo, the Shenming Sect tried its best to block the news, and the blood drops of the Zongheng Division spread the news everywhere, and later the news came out that the priest of the Shenming Sect in that village was divided by Songtsen Gampo Five Horses, and the Shenming Sect was hit head-on once."

Du Ruhui took a report, explained it a little, and then handed it to Suning, and then drank it with a cup of tea: "Well, I never thought that tea could be drunk like this, in the past, people were not used as medicine, or that Shuzhong sencha, the old man had a bad stomach, that cup of mutton fat was in the stomach, and it could give the old man half a life, and this tea is a drink that meets the taste of the old man!" The fragrance is overflowing, and the aftertaste is endless, Su Hou, the old man understands how your name as the god of food came about. ”

Suning smiled, rested for several months, while accompanying Li Ruihan to raise the fetus, while writing books, while pursuing enjoyment, so after everything was ready, the tea leaves that could be soaked and drunk were officially fried, and when the first cup of fragrant tea was brought to Suning, Suning really wanted to cry, how many years, and finally tasted the taste of the most authentic tea, now, finally don't have to worry about the embarrassment caused by his own "tea" when the guest comes.

As soon as the tea came out, Suning asked someone to send it to the palace to invite Li Erma's family to enjoy, and the tools and techniques for making tea were attached, and then the maid sent by Suning who specialized in making tea did not come back, and it was Zhao Chen who came back with a smile on his face, cheeky and shameless, Suning had just made a box of tea leaves and took it away. Then he dropped the sentence "His Majesty will give money" and left......

Isn't this just a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return? Counting on Li Er's shameless payment? Dreaming?

As for the maid, her appearance is also in the middle and upper, and she is simply confused in the harem where Li Er Majesty is as beautiful as a cloud, and it is obvious that the tea art taught by her first hand Suning was targeted by Li Er Majesty, in fact, the tea art was originally from the Tang Dynasty, and the tea ceremony and flower arrangement all came from the Tang Dynasty, but as others said. Datang in Japan. Therefore, many things of the Tang Dynasty have been preserved by Japan, the land of China. But it was devastated. I can no longer find the legacy of the Tang Dynasty......

But. This time, Japan has no chance.

Suning also took a sip of tea, and the warm tea flowed around in his mouth. After every taste bud has fully felt the moisture of the tea, it will be swallowed slowly along the esophagus, that feeling, indescribable comfort, since arriving in Datang, in addition to the sour wine and slightly better grape brewing, Suning really has no drinks to choose from, iced honey water is too luxurious, Suning is unwilling to drink it often, five-color drinks and four-season drinks are the same, too expensive.

Although the Suning family has become a high-ranking nobleman and a high-ranking family, the so-called family spirit and clan style are gradually forming, Suning does not want his family to add luxury to the family spirit, although Suning is very rich, it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the richest group of people in the Tang Dynasty, especially after the Shandong Shi clan was killed, the interests that originally belonged to the Shandong Shi clan were forcibly occupied by Li Erma, and the remaining part was distributed according to the merits, Suning made the greatest meritorious service, and the Su family got the greatest benefit.

Therefore, the Su family has a lot of wealth, although there is no background, but the family assets are quite rich, Niu Geng's first young man who followed Suning has also become the leader of the Su family's business team, and the long-term ups and downs of the business sea have gradually transformed him into a shrewd businessman, and he has become a very thorough transformation from being unsuitable for the military, and has become an important arm of Suning.

The wife is the pearl of a wealthy businessman in Shandong, as the daughter of the leading business family in that interest base, she naturally does not expect to be able to marry Suning, so Niu Geng, the head of the Su family's business, has become the first choice, Niu Geng is very good, you can continue to cultivate, how big the wealth of the Su family is in the future, how high his status is, this is certain.

The roasted tea of the Su family swept the circle of high-level people in Chang'an in a short period of time, and was awarded tribute tea by Li Er's edict a month later, because its quantity is scarce, and it is difficult to obtain, and there is no market, so it has become a wonderful product that every high-level person is chasing, and it is not that Suning is unwilling to let go of the supply of tea, mainly because Suning wants to take this opportunity to make more friends with some upper-class people, and it will be officially released in a few years.

And the Su family tea has been made into a golden signboard by Li Erma, increasing the supply in a short period of time will only cause Li Erma's face to not look good, the so-called scarcity is expensive, and so the rumors are enough, and the scope of the spread is wide enough, this is the time to officially start selling, and this time the tea business Suning does not plan to cooperate with anyone, this skill is only owned by the Su family itself, and it is a thousand-year-old foundation.

Sugar can be allowed out, restaurant business can be allowed out, but tea is not good, tea has become a cultural representative, the value of the industry behind it is immeasurable, the Su family as the first family to completely start and carry forward the reputation of tea, will gain great prestige.

Looking at Du Ruhan's eager eyes, Suning already understood something, although he did not agree to cooperate with them and share the profits in this regard, but there are already a lot of things in front of him, and tea mainly belongs to the preference of literati and scholars, they think that the popularity will not be very wide, and they will not think that tea will become a national drink, so they don't care very much, they just think that the taste is very good, I like it very much, and they can be regarded as elegant people who have drunk tea when they say it, and they can also go out to meet people by wearing a layer of skin, so they have asked Suning for tea.

This would later become an allusion, and the story of asking for tea would be widely circulated.

With a wave of his hand, a servant brought in a packed jar of tea, and Suning pointed to the tea jar and said, "Are you satisfied with the new tea that has just been fried?" ”

Du Ruhui immediately smiled and took the tea jar into his hand, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what is Su Hou talking about, the old man has worked tirelessly to deliver such an important message to Su Hou, so what's the harm in Su Hou sending some tea to the old man?" Again. In the future, we will be officials in the same dynasty, how can Su Hou not be able to take these small thank-you gifts? ”

Suning gave him a blank look: "Then I want to thank Du Xiang." ”

Du Ruhui waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Thank you for not needing, if there is any good tea and new tea in the future, please think more about the old man, hahaha, Su Hou will look at it first, if you have any ideas, you will send someone to tell the old man." The old man went first. Hahaha! ”

Suning was extremely depressed as he watched Du Ruhui leave laughing, and suddenly shouted as if he remembered something: "Du Xiang, Qinglian has made great contributions in this battle by following her brother's Long March to the Western Regions, and she is already a captain. And His Majesty has already decided to knight him. 陛xià asked me to sue sù Du Xiang. ”

Du Ruhui's laughter came to an abrupt end. After a pause, the whole person stopped, because his back was to Suning. Suning couldn't see Du Ruhui's expression, couldn't see Du Ruhui's facial movements clearly, and didn't know what Du Ruhui was feeling in his heart now, but soon, Du Ruhui's voice sounded like a free and easy voice: "The old man knows, Su Hou is bothered, and I also ask Su Hou to take the old man to thank His Majesty, the old man is leaving, and Suning doesn't have to send it far." ”

After speaking, Du Ruhui left Su Mansion quickly, Su Ning sighed deeply, between father and son did this part, it is really comparable to Li Erma Xià and His Excellency Li Yuan, but Li Erma Xià and His Excellency Li Yuan can occasionally play on the scene and jointly contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty, but Du He has really not been back once since he left Du Mansion three years ago, after the case of his father-in-law, Du He has completely changed a person, every time I hear Xue Rengui talk about Du He is worried, Suning can imagine Du He's somewhat unrestrained posture.

Why bother?

Shaking his head, Suning focused on this report, the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, Master Changjie and Ziyun Zhenren, personally opened the situation for the Tang Buddhism and Taoism Corps, and gave the Shenming Sect a hard blow, Songtsan Gampo even vented the corpse of the priest and the five horses, and the Shenming Sect temporarily died down without making a sound, but Suning knew that a cult that had been arrogant for a long time would not admit it like this, he must have a backhand, as for what the backhand is, Suning is not sure.

Suning felt that the Tang Dynasty knew too little about the Shenming Sect, and Songtsen Gampo might know something, but because those behind-the-scenes envoys were the magnates of Tubo, they all had their own territories, and if the Tang Dynasty dealt with them directly, it would inevitably be regarded as interfering in the internal affairs of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo did not agree, and Suning could not give such an order, so this matter should be considered more, and it would not be of much use to just bring down the Shenming Sect.

And Suning does not intend to completely overthrow the Shenming Religion, but to use the strength of the Shenming Religion and Buddhism and Taoism to form a three-legged situation, competing with each other for the territorial range, it is best to form a religious three-country melee, so that Tubo is deeply trapped in the religious mud and difficult to extricate itself, under the constraints of religious forces, even if Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan are against the sky, there is no way to mobilize the strength of Tubo to fight with the Tang Dynasty, just like Buddhists as soldiers, this is not very realistic.

Therefore, what Suning needs most at present is to understand the Shenming Religion and the forces behind it, and then it can formulate tactics to remotely control the melee in Tubo and create a situation of religious confrontation, instead of letting Buddhism and Taoism unite to bring down the Shenming Sect and completely save the Tubo people from the dire situation, which is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty, those who can confront Songtsen Gampo will be friends of the Tang Dynasty, Suning does not think that Songtsen Gampo is a friend of the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Dongzan will not be, so the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

Of course, this cult is not a good thing, and if they have a tendency to expand, they must be completely eliminated, and the most important point to achieve this goal is internal response! There must be a high-level internal counselor to pass on the news to himself, so that he can get the internal information of the Divine Sect, and then cooperate with his own strategy to make the Divine Sect impossible to recover step by step, which is the most important thing.

How to do this, is a science, how to arrange the internal response, how to penetrate the enemy, this is very important, Buddhism and Taoism forces have their own internal response, can ensure that it does not get out of control, the Shenming Sect also needs such an internal response, to ensure that the Shenming Religion will not get out of control before they do a good job of overall planning, especially not to let the Shenming Sect mess around, at the beginning can cause some bloodshed, for the development of Buddhism and Taoism to lay the foundation.

But with the increase in the power of Buddhism and Taoism, this is not possible, just like after Shu and Wu together weakened Wei, the balance of power was broken, and there will inevitably be some problems of destroying the enemy country for unification, so the first task at this time is not to eliminate Wei, the first task is to suppress Shu and Wu, so that they do not have the strength to completely eliminate Wei, thus creating a three-legged situation.

Three-legged standing, in order to ensure the maximization of the interests of the Tang Dynasty, although this is a little against the masters of Buddhism and Taoism, but this is also a last resort, Suning Ning does not want Buddhism and Taoism to really save Tibet, this is impossible, Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan must also die, this internal response, it is imperative.
