Chapter 180 0175 [Li Langzi](2/2)
Before the meal was ready, Zhu Guoxiang served the guests with black tea.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty looked at the bright red and translucent tea soup and said in surprise: "This tea soup is really beautiful, but where does Tuancha come from?"
Zhu Guoxiang said: "This is black tea, made by my own hands, and I want to present it to the officials."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty clapped his hands and praised: "Sir, you can also make tea. It seems that you are the same as me."
The Tuancha technology of the Song Dynasty reached its peak during the Huizong Dynasty.
Big and small dragon teas have become a thing of the past. Nowadays, the top one is "Shuiya Tea", among which the best ones are "Wubishouya" and "Longyuan Spring".
The price is more expensive than gold!
Song Huizong took a sip of black tea and commented: "Although the taste is bland, it is better than natural tea. It is also a rare good tea."
No matter how good black tea is, it cannot be compared with "water bud tea".
Zhu Guoxiang asked someone to carry a few bags of tea, and Song Huizong accepted them without hesitation, but did not list the black tea as a tribute, because the emperor really didn't like it.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty asked with a smile: "I have accepted the gift, so I should return the gift. If you want more, just say it."
Zhu Guoxiang said: "As a minister, if you have good things, you should dedicate them to the king without asking for anything in return."
"You are such a loyal minister!" Song Huizong praised.
Zhu Ming took the opportunity to say: "I want to ask for a job."
Song Huizong said: "Let's talk."
Zhu Ming said: "I ask you to also take charge of the library of the Imperial College."
As soon as this statement came out, not only Song Huizong was a little surprised, but even Li Bangyan looked surprised.
Guozijian Library was the official printing agency of the Song Dynasty. The chief official was called "Guozijian Library". In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the official in charge of the imperial court. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was mostly the responsibility of the selector.
Song Huizong asked: "Why do you want to manage the library?"
Ju Ming asked rhetorically: "Do officials know about movable type printing?"
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty nodded and said: "It's hard to be refined even if you have heard about it a little bit."
Ju Ming said: "I have a way to make the books printed with movable type the same as those printed with woodblock printing, and the man-hours can be saved a hundred times."
"There is such a technique?" Song Huizong said with great interest, "Then let Qi supervise the library of the Imperial Academy. After printing the book, he will be the first to send it to me for a look. It is as useful as you said. After it is completed,
I'll let you go out and be the magistrate of the state."
