In the future, Wei Yan wanted to earn military expenses by developing tea, so he had a unique place where he started his business.

Yiyang is close to the later Xinyang, and Xinyang Maojian is one of the top ten famous teas later.

Xinyang hair tips are bright and clean, free of impurities, elegant and fresh, fresh and refreshing, mellow and sweet. From the appearance, they are even, bright and shiny, with obvious white hairs, thin, round, light, straight, white hairs, emerald green color, and long-lasting after rinsing, rich and mellow taste, sweet and salivating, and bright and clear soup color. It is a green tea that Wei Yan loves very much.

However, although tea has long existed in this place (later archaeologists excavated tea in ancient tombs unearthed in Gushi County, Xinyang Prefecture, which was verified as the Warring States Period), the tea trees here at this time are completely different from the kind of tea trees that have been cultivated in later generations, and the tea culture has not flourished.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty four hundred years later that tea culture and tea production entered its prosperous period. The world's first tea book "Tea Classic" compiled by the tea saint Lu Yu divided the 42 prefectures and counties that produced tea in the country into eight major tea areas. Xinyang belongs to Huainan Tea Area. Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty said: "Huainan tea is the first in Xinyang, and there are many tea-growing teas in the southwest mountain farmers, with beautiful colors, flavors and fragrances, and the taste is not below Zhejiang and Fujian."

At that time, Xinyang Maojian became famous very late. It was in the early 20th century that Cai Zhuxian, a native of Jiyi in the Qing Dynasty, advocated the creation of mountains and growing tea, and eight major tea houses appeared. Because the "Eight major tea houses" focused on the introduction, digestion and absorption of production technology, Xinyang Maojian processing technology was improved, so the quality of Benshan Maojian tea appeared, named "Xinyang Maojian", and Xinyang Maojian ranked among the top ten famous teas.

It is not possible to improve tea trees, improve tea stir-frying technology, promote tea brewing ceremony, and make it become a trend overnight. After all, in history, it was only four hundred years later that tea brewing ceremony became a fashion. Wei Yan could not make it a fashion in four months. The ideal situation is four years, or even fourteen or forty years.

But no matter how long it takes, Wei Yan was not afraid of making tea a fashion all over the world and making tea an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver that the Chinese nation could use to improve it all his life.

At this time, Kongkong smiled and said, "Lord, don't forget me. I have cultivated tea tree seeds. Not to mention Xinyang Maojian, even the Dahongpao seeds of Wuyi Mountain mother plant, I can help you get them. It won't be used for so many years!"

Wei Yan was overjoyed and said, "Really, I really want to drink Dahongpao, a mother Zhu of Wuyi Mountain, now."

There are few Dahongpao in history, and the recognized Dahongpao is only the few trees on the rock wall of Jiulongke. In the best year, the tea yield is only a few hundred grams. Jiulongke Dahongpao tea was auctioned at the market, and 20 grams were sold at a sky-high price of 156,800 yuan, setting a record for the highest unit price of tea.

In 1972, when Nixon visited China, Taizu gave him four taels of tea from Dahongpao mother plant. Because Nixon didn't know that the yield of Dahongpao mother plant was very precious, he complained privately about Taizu's stinginess. Zhou Xiang later explained to Nixon: "The Chairman has given 'half of the country'" and informed him of the origin of Dahongpao. After hearing this, Nixon was in awe of this.

Although Wei Yan prefers to drink green tea Maojian, Wuyi Mountain mother Zhu Dahongpao was only qualified to drink it. Before traveling through time, he only drank the tea made in Dahongpao on the tea tree next to him. The taste may not be much different, but his psychological feeling is far worse.

Kong Kong smiled and said, "Lord, one place is the land and the other place is the land and the tea. The mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, Dahongpao, can survive on Wuyi Mountain and have that fragrance. When you come to Dabie Mountain, it’s not as good as the Maojian in Xinyang, so you should fight as soon as possible and push it. To destroy Sun Wu, Jiangdong and occupy Wuyi Mountain, you can only drink Wuyi Mountain’s mother tree of Dahongpao."

Wei Yan will put this matter aside for the time being. After returning to Yiyang, he will choose a suitable mountainous area and try to plant tea tree seeds provided by Kongkong (tea tree breeding mostly uses root-bearing seedling cultivation method), and then gradually develop tea planting and tea culture, and then make a lot of money from tea.

...

Wei Yan appointed Dian Wei as the commander of the Guards, commanding a thousand guards and guards around him.

After Dian Wei was reborn, the first person he saw was Wei Yan. He knew that it was Wei Yan who saved him, and Wei Yan taught him so many things. Dian Wei had a strong psychological dependence on Wei Yan from the bottom of his heart. Coupled with the loyalty and responsibility he cultivated in his acquired life, he often stood by Wei Yan all day during the day, rested near the big tent at night, and rarely returned to his residence, and was more loyal than before in Cao Cao.

Dian Wei had a fatal flaw before he was reborn. He liked wine and food, and indulged in food and drink. He ate several times more than others. He always served him wine and vegetables one after another, and it took several people to serve him. However, after reborn, although he was still greedy, he did not drink alcohol and seemed to have a natural disgust of alcohol. Maybe he might know that he had died once because he lost his weapons because he was drunk.

At this time, a day and a night had passed since the capture of Wancheng. Dian Wei suddenly felt hungry and shouted: "So hungry! So hungry!"

Wei Yan was about to cook for Wei Yan himself.

Kongkong suddenly said, "Lord, Dian Wei has now lost all the memory of this life and does not understand the meaning of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". If you cook for him, he will think it is a matter of course and will not be grateful."

Wei Yan said regretfully: "Then is this move really useless for Dian Wei?"

Kongkong smiled and said, "You asked him to eat a big pot meal with the soldiers for a month and eat dry food for a month. You gave him a small meal to ensure that he was grateful and his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude and his loyalty rose."

Wei Yan couldn't help laughing. Because he did not have the habit of squeezing vegetable oil, the cooking skills of this era did not mean to stir-fry. All dishes were basically cooked, or roasted. After he arrived, every time he cooked for the new generals, they burst into tears. Not only because the lord was not afraid of others and cooked for them personally, but also because the fried food was really delicious. On the other hand, if Wei Yan had not been hungry every time, it would be difficult for him to eat the same pot with the soldiers.

If Dian Wei had a big pot rice for a month and then had Wei Yan's small stove, his loyalty would indeed soar.

However, now 160's loyalty is ready, so there is no need to deliberately improve it for the time being.

...

At this time, the scout came to report: "General Xu Huang successfully robbed two hundred trucks of food and grass escorted by Cao's general Shi Huan, and killed Shi Huan in the battle! Cao's army had no food for half a day, and there were already complaints."

Wei Yan was overjoyed. It seemed that Xu Huang's special stunt [Food and Supplementary] had an effect on Cao's army.

After the great joy, Wei Yan was a little worried that he would help Zhang Xiu deal with Cao Cao this time. If Cao Cao really died in the attack of Zhang Xiu's Western Liang army and Cao Cao's subordinates went to join Yuan Shao, how could he confront Yuan Shao in the future?

He didn't want Cao Cao to die like this, and hoped that Cao Cao would fight Yuan Shao to the death alive. It would be better to delay the battle of Guandu for ten or eight years, and to drag down all the two major forces.
