"Hehe, I'm worthy of being Lord Zhu, I'm just kidding." Wang Zhi said with a smile, his face feeling like spring breeze.

"Of course, I just said I had a pocket musket with me, which was also a joke." Zhu Ping'an laughed.

"Oh?" Wang sat upright.

"Actually, I brought two of them," Zhu Ping'an replied with a honest face, with a simple face as simple as a village head second dog.

Wang Zhi sat back again, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained.

"Just kidding, I didn't bring a single one. I invited Leader Wang to dinner to discuss major issues. What should I do with Lao Shi's pocket musket?"

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile, looking frank.

Haha, guess I believe it or not?

Wang Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Captain Wang, please use tea. This is the tribute tea given by the emperor. Ping An was unfilial, so I had to give it a can. I couldn't bear to drink it on weekdays. Today, I borrowed the light of Chief Wang to drink happily." Zhu Ping'an carried the teapot to pour tea for Wang Zhi.

"Thank you, Lord Zhu, this is the imperial tea, so I have to taste it well." Wang Zhi was a little excited when he heard that it was the imperial tea. He had never drunk the imperial tea before, and was a little flattered.

Imperial tea is the tea the emperor drank, but I didn't expect that I could drink the same tea as the emperor

Zhu Ping'an treats himself very kindly.

Wang Zhi's favor for Zhu Ping'an was once again +10086. The joke just now also made Wang Zhi appreciate Zhu Ping'an even more.

A smart person!

I like to deal with smart people. Smart people are reliable and can’t do stupid things. They can work together twice the result with half the effort.

I don't know if it's psychological.

Wang Zhi took a sip of tea and felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth. The mellow tea fragrance was about to break through his own spiritual cover. This tea is worthy of being an imperial tea. Compared with this tea, the tea he drank in the past few decades was simply pig grass!

Close your eyes and the aftertaste is endless. In a vague way, it seems like you are in the blue clouds, and the breeze blows gently on your temples.

Good tea, I have never drunk such a delicious tea in my life!

It is worthy of being the imperial tea!

Wang Zhi tasted a bite of tea, and it seemed like a century had passed in his heart, with endless aftertaste and endless praise.

At this time, Liu Dadao, who was sitting on the table outside the main table, approached Liu Dagen and asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't that pot of tea the tea you took from the warehouse? When did it become imperial tea? How much did you say you bought that tea?"

"I bought the tea leaves casually from an old man's tea stall at the market. It only cost ten taels of silver for a sack."

Liu Daqin also replied in an inauspicious whisper.

"Then why has it become an imperial tea? Could it be that the tea from the old man's house is just the imperial tea that the emperor drinks? It's a coincidence?"

Liu Dadao said in surprise.

"Take it down, the tea the old man sold was just ordinary tea. If his tea was supplied to the emperor's imperial tea, would he set up stalls on the street? Their family's money would have been in the sea long ago." Liu Daqian shook his head and said.

"Then why did it become an imperial tea?" Liu Dadao was puzzled.

"Young Master said it is imperial tea, it is imperial tea. Why do you care about so much?" Liu Daqian shrugged.

"You are right. The young master said it was imperial tea, and he was imperial tea." Liu Dadao immediately figured it out and nodded repeatedly.

Fortunately, they knew that things were serious and their words were inaudible whispers. People around them, especially Wang Zhi, could only see them whispering. As for what they were whispering, they would never hear them.

Seeing Wang Zhi take a sip of "Yucha" and savor it for a long time, both of them couldn't help but lower their heads and smile, and their shoulders shook.

"It's worthy of being the Imperial Tea. This mouthful is really memorable." Wang Zhi praised the Imperial Tea.

"Three glasses of wine in the world, and one pot of tea for thousands of years of dominance." Zhu Ping'an once again filled Wang Zhi with tea.

"Mr. Zhu is worthy of being the top scholar. This poem is amazing. Unlike me, I can't say it even if I take a sip."

Wang Zhi couldn't help but praise him.

"Teacher Wang has won the award, please use it slowly." Zhu Ping'an said modestly and politely, carrying the teapot and filling Wang Zhi with tea.

"Thank you, Lord Zhu." Wang Zhi clasped his fists and thanked him.

"This imperial tea is indeed delicious, but Lord Zhu invited me here, not just to treat me to tea, right?" Wang Zhi took a sip of the tea again, and after savoring for a moment, he put down the tea cup, "We should get back to the point and discuss the big thing together, right?"

"Of course." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

"Haifeng told me, Lord Zhu also wants to lift the sea ban? Is it true?" Wang Zhi asked directly, looking at Zhu Ping'an with a burning look.

"Of course." Zhu Ping'an nodded without hesitation, "The current situation is no longer appropriate for the sea ban. For the Ming Dynasty, the disadvantages are more than the advantages. Since the disadvantages are more than the advantages, of course it is better to lift the sea ban."

Wang faced the expressionless and calmly asked further, "I wonder if Mr. Zhu said that the sea ban is inappropriate and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Can you explore in depth what the disadvantages of the sea ban are? "

"The first thing to do is the Japanese disaster caused by you, Leader Wang." Zhu Ping'an pointed out without hesitation.

"Oh, Lord Zhu said, is the Japanese ban caused by the sea ban? But, does Lord Zhu not know that the reason why the Ming Dynasty banned the sea was because of the Japanese ban. Is the sea ban also intended to prevent and control the Japanese ban?"

Wang Zhi shook his head and retorted.

"The two are different. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng were good at shipbuilding and navigation. At that time, Wenzhou, Taizhou and Chuzhou were Fang Guozhen's territory, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Songjiang, Tongzhou and Taizhou were Zhang Shicheng's territory. After Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng were defeated by our Ming Taizu, Yu Ni still insisted on opposing the Ming Dynasty. They were lying on coastal islands, colluding with barbarians and pirates, especially Japanese pirates, and launched terrorist attacks on our coast from time to time. At that time, when we were established in the Ming Dynasty, our country was insufficient, our people's livelihood was declining, and materials were scarce, so we were unable to go out to sea to clear the sea. Zhang Yu Ni could only implement a sea ban to prevent the outflow of population and materials. However, during the Yongle period, Fang, Zhang Yu Ni had long been eliminated. Zheng He went to the West, and our Ming navy was so powerful that there was no danger of Japanese pirates."

"Today, the sea ban has led to smuggling rampant, smugglers colluded with Japanese pirates, and the sea ban has caused the coastal people to be unable to rely on the sea and Chihai. Some common people are desperate and colluded with Japanese people. Nowadays, Japan is divided into pieces, and heroes are rising up and conquering constant conquests. The losers lose their land, become ronin, and become Japanese pirates. The victors also need money, food and grass, and are also acts of Japanese pirates, and they plunder money and grain from our Ming Dynasty to replenish their blood. In this way, the Japanese pirates are rampant."

"So, the two are different and cannot be confused."

Zhu Ping'an said slowly.

"It's not unreasonable to say this. If the market is open, the Japanese will be converted to commerce; if the sea is banned, the merchant will be converted to japan. Wang is a typical example. In fact, if Wang has a way, he will not want to be a Japanese pirate for a day. All I want to do is trade."
