Chapter 2883
Feng Annan did not rush to get to the point, but picked up the teacup and signaled to everyone. Upon seeing this, Qian Tiandun and Yan Chujie also picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, Gao Qiaonan did not move. It was not until Qian Tiandun nodded slightly to him that he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Of course, this does not mean serving tea to guests. Nalan Pearl, who invented this official rule, is now just an inconspicuous palace guard in the Manchu Palace. He is still very early in his career and has no capital to put on airs in front of others.
In the officialdom of Haihan, tea is an indispensable part of formal occasions, especially meetings at all levels, where tea is indispensable. Through the tea tasting session, participants could organize their thoughts, conceal their emotions, calm down their moods, and have various functions. It is precisely because of this trend that certain precious teas have become one of the status symbols of officials at all levels.
"Good tea!" Qian Tiandun put the teacup back on the table and asked softly: "This should be Maojian, right?"
Feng Annan nodded and said: "It's Maojian, but it's Maojian produced in Annan. In the early years, businessmen transplanted tea trees to the mountainous areas in northern Annan. After the tea trees slowly adapted to the environment, the quality gradually became stable, and the quality of the tea trees gradually became stable from the place of origin. The tea farmers were invited to teach them how to make tea. The taste is not much different from that of the place of origin. In terms of Maojian alone, I think it is of high quality.”
Qian Tiandun said: "The merchants who transplant tea trees should be profitable. I have tasted Guanzhuang Maojian produced in Hunan before, and it is said that the price is not cheap."
Feng Annan said: "The merchant spent some money to establish relationships in the past two years, so that this tea became the tribute tea in the Annan Palace, which can be regarded as gold-plated. Now in the market of Annan Kingdom, you can't buy it without some special channels. This thing is already marketable and priceless.”
Qian Tiandun heard Xiange and understood: "Such a profitable business, the boss behind it must be one of ours, right? Don't tell me this is your property!"
Feng Annan smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Yan Chujie, who had been silent, and said: "I'm just helping to promote it, he is the boss."
Seeing Qian Tiandun's different look, Yan Chujie responded with a wry smile: "My third child is from Hunan, and her family is in the tea business. Her family came to Hainan a few years ago to seek refuge. I don't want to support idle people, so I have to find someone." They were allowed to make a living, but if they were placed in Hainan Island, they would inevitably cause gossip, so they were later allowed to come to Annan to continue their business.”
Qian Tiandun smiled and expressed understanding. After he got married to Luo Wudan, he remained monogamous and did not take any more concubines. However, among a group of people traveling through time, it was normal for them to have several concubines. The "third child" that Yan Chujie refers to is his third aunt.
And once these women get married to high-ranking figures in Haihan, the families behind them will naturally get the opportunity to ascend to heaven. With Yan Chujie's status and influence, he didn't even need to show up at all. He only needed to say hello to get the best protection for his third aunt's family's business. And the person who can provide him with shelter in Annan is of course Feng Annan.
But why did Feng Annan bring up Yan Chujie's personal family matters on this occasion? Qian Tiandun would not think that Feng Annan had low emotional intelligence and was ignorant. Since he made this clear, he must have a purpose.
Then Feng Annan went on to say: "In the past more than two decades, our country has invested in and constructed many industries in Annan, and the scope is not limited to the port areas we control."
"Of course, in addition to businessmen from our country, some of the operators of these industries also belong to the powerful class of Annan. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Annan Kingdom who rely on these industries for their livelihood. Annan State provides us with a large amount of supplies every year. Coal, iron ore, aluminum ore, as well as rice, fruits and vegetables, cooking oil, and the tea you drink now, about one-fifth of the industrial products produced in our country are sold to Annan every year. A large number of Annan people will be naturalized in our country as immigrants and become Haihan nationals. "What I want to say is that as long as Annan maintains its current status, our country will continue to obtain the various industrial raw materials and agricultural products it needs from Annan." , and allowed Annan to rely on the industrial products produced by our country for a long time, and continue to exist as a vassal of our country in all aspects of politics, military, economy, and culture. All of this depends on two words-Taiping!"
When Qian Tiandun heard this, he already understood what Feng Annan wanted to express. However, he did not rush to interrupt, but patiently waited for the other party to finish speaking.
Feng Annan continued: "Since the end of Annan's civil war, although wars have broken out with the Kingdom of Champa in the south and the Kingdom of Siam in the west, the domestic situation has been relatively stable. I think many people do not want to see such a situation. Changes have occurred, Lao Qianyou should understand what I mean, right?”
Qian Tiandun nodded slightly and said: "The reason why I asked the special forces to be stationed at Cam Ranh Port is not to interfere in Annan's internal affairs or create other troubles that affect Annan's stability. Regarding this point, you can rest assured that my goal Not here.”
Yan Chujie said: "Old Feng is just a kind reminder, Lao Qian, don't think too much. At the luncheon just now, you also saw how many relationships are involved here. If the arrival of the special operations division causes the turmoil in Annan, then There may be many voices against you in the country.”
Qian Tiandun smiled and said: "It seems that you are really worried about me causing trouble in Cam Ranh Port!"
Yan Chujie said: "The environment here is different from that in the northern region. In the fish pond of the South China Sea, there are basically no opponents who can pose a real threat to us. If you bring troops to the South China Sea, many people will think that you are killing a chicken with a knife. If you do it, you will inevitably worry about your intentions.”
Qian Tiandun said: "What they are worried about is not my intentions, but their own interests."
Feng Annan said: "In order to avoid misunderstandings, I think you should find an opportunity to explain to the outside world the reason why the special warfare division moved to Cam Ranh Port."
Qian Tiandun looked at Yan Chujie and said, "Is it enough that the executive committee knows the inside story? It seems a bit redundant to explain it to the outside world."
Yan Chujie said: "But the plan you submitted to the Executive Committee is also very vague. It only said that Haihan armed forces from all over the South China Sea should be mobilized to expand the control area, but it did not say how to implement it. Isn't this possible? Is it worrying? ”
Qian Tiandun said: "If the details are announced too early and the news is leaked, it will be very inconvenient for future implementation. If the time is right, of course it must be announced. After all, this is not a matter for the special operations division alone. I also need the support of all parties. Full cooperation.”
