Guanshishan Academy is big enough and has good greening!

When spring comes and flowers bloom, the academy has its own unique scenery.

The School of Arithmetic Calculation dominated this year's math department, and then Wang Sheng tore up the list in front of the Gongyuan Academy. Guanshishan Academy successfully entered the eyes of the nobles and people of Chang'an City.

But Li Kuan completely suppressed all doubts with one question. After Li Yan solved the question and Guanshishan Academy announced his solution method, the response among the scholars was even greater.

By now, many people have realized how extraordinary Guanshishan Academy is, at least its arithmetic academy is really great.

Naturally, everyone also became interested in other colleges.

At the beginning, Li Kuan hoped to recruit a group of students from among the scholars after the imperial examination, but it came naturally without any effort at all.

"Brother Liu, these people are chasing each other. When will they meet? After using equations to solve the problem, I didn't expect it to be so simple."

After Li Yan received Li Kuan's permission that day, he didn't even return home and moved directly into Guanshishan Academy.

As for the utensils, a servant at home brought them.

"The combination of Arabic numerals and equations, coupled with the pinyin invented by Wang Ye before, the effect is absolutely unprecedented."

Liu Yuan is now Li Kuan's supporter, and he highly respects everything Li Kuan creates.

"The prince's arithmetic skills are beyond everyone's imagination."

"Brother Li, there are some manuscripts written by princes in the library. If you read them, you will admire them even more. I still have only a partial understanding of many of Master's thoughts and ideas."

"I originally wanted to study in various colleges, but now it seems that just one college is enough to consume all my energy."

…

Yang Benman is in a good mood recently.

As a person from Jiangnan who has been growing tea for generations, after coming to Chang'an City, he also bought a lot of land outside the city to grow tea.

Standing on the hillside, looking at the tender yellow-green that had just sprouted on the top of the tea tree, they were like newly born babies, extremely delicate.

Accompanied by the breeze, the buds like a bird's beak look even more cheerful.

The entire hill is covered with tea trees, layer by layer, ridge after ridge, planted along the mountain. As far as the eye can see, everything is green.

"Alang, the remaining tea garden at home is the best located and the best growing. The remaining half has been sold."

Yang Dong, the old housekeeper of Yang Benman's family, followed him step by step, inspecting the situation of the tea garden while reporting the latest situation.

"Are they really sold at twice the market price?"

Yang Ben couldn't help but smile on his face. When he bought these tea gardens, he didn't spend much money. After all, the practice of making tea was not very popular at that time.

Unexpectedly, someone is buying it at a high price now.

"Alang, it's actually twice the market price. It's really strange this year. That Wang Fugui, as if he didn't want any money, swept away the tea gardens around Chang'an City. If Alang hadn't said that you would keep half of it in your hands, I would have

I want to sell them all and then buy a piece of land to replant, so that I can make more money."

"Hmph, then Wang Fugui is working for the King of Chu. Although the high price of the tea garden this time seems to be very beneficial to us, His Highness the King of Chu cannot do things based on common sense. This is why I insist on selling only half."

Yang Benman snorted coldly, feeling that no matter what, he would make a sure profit.

"The same goes for this. By selling half of it, we have made back all our previous expenses. The remaining half of the best tea garden is in our hands. No matter what the Chu Palace wants to do, we will not be passive."

Yang Dong is naturally very aware of the grievances between his master and the Chu Palace.

I originally thought that Yang Benman would act on his own initiative and not sell even a single piece of the tea garden. Unexpectedly, he finally agreed to sell half of it.

"In a few days, we will almost be able to pick the first batch of tea leaves this year, right?"

Although Yang Benman has been an official for many years and has not personally done farm work for a long time, he is still relatively familiar with the growth of tea trees.

After all, my hometown has the largest tea garden in Hangzhou.

"Yes, in the past two years in Chang'an City, the number of people who like to make tea seems to have increased. When the new tea comes out, it should be able to sell it at a good price."

It has been nearly twenty years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The common people and nobles are no longer what they were in the war and chaos, and their living standards have obviously risen to a higher level.

"Keep an eye on Prince Chu's Mansion and see what happens after they acquire the tea garden!"

…

A relatively mysterious workshop was recently built in the annex of the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, when you talk about acquiring tea gardens, you have basically acquired everything that can be acquired."

Wang Fugui followed Li Kuan to visit the newly built workshop. He felt that except for a few large iron pots, there were almost no special gadgets here. He didn't know what they were used for.

"Everything that can be acquired has been acquired? So, there are still some people who are not selling?"

Li Kuan frowned. This tea was of great importance. He didn't want anyone around Chang'an City to affect his layout, otherwise he wouldn't buy it at a high price.

"Yes, the Yushitai Yang Benman family is the largest tea garden owner in Chang'an City. In the past, half of the tea in Chang'an City came from their tea garden. But after several negotiations, they were only willing to sell half."

Wang Fugui saw that Li Kuan didn't seem very satisfied and quickly explained.

"Your Majesty, actually I think it's not necessarily a bad thing that they are unwilling to sell. Although the price of this tea has increased, we want to make money from the tea garden we bought at this price..."

Although Wang Fugui strictly followed Li Kuan's wishes, he still had his own opinions on acquiring tea gardens at high prices.

"Humph, that Yang Benman seems to have learned a lot. If it weren't for me who bought the tea garden, I guess he would have sold it all happily."

After hearing Wang Fugui say that the other party was Yang Benman, Li Kuan quickly figured out why he was only willing to sell half of it.

This is because I don’t want to miss the opportunity to make money, but I am also afraid of missing out on better opportunities to make money.

Under normal circumstances, if the Chu Palace purchased the tea garden at such a high price, everyone would definitely sell it quickly.

But based on Yang Benman's understanding of Li Kuan, he always felt that there must be something behind this matter that he had not considered. In order to be afraid of suffering a loss and missing an opportunity, he played a clever trick and sold half of it and kept the other half.

Wang Fugui felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Kuan said.

This statement sounds so awkward.

"Your Majesty, although there are not many tea gardens around Chang'an City, there are still quite a few. The prince's government bought so many tea gardens at once, and they bought them at a high price. Many merchants in Chang'an City are waiting to see our jokes."

"Don't worry, there are many people who want to see my joke, but who has ever succeeded?"
