We read all the lead to present a different history.
As we all know, the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was very diligent in his administration, and he never missed the government, which also laid a solid foundation for the "prosperous era of Kangqian". During the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, he thought about the lives of the common people everywhere, and through continuous reforms, the people had food to eat.
Once there was a flood in Henan, and the imperial court wanted to investigate the disaster situation in Henan, and Yongzheng used this opportunity to make a private visit to Weifu. After passing through Shanxi after investigating the disaster in Henan, Yongzheng knew that the Jin merchants in Shanxi were very famous and wanted to go and see. Yongzheng and his party went to a shop selling tea, and the treasurer knew that these people were from Beijing, so he made tea and greeted them very warmly. After drinking tea, the Yongzheng Emperor said, "The tea here is the tip of Huangshan Maojian!" The treasurer said yes. At that time, Huangshan Maojian was very popular, and Yongzheng asked, "How do you sell your tea leaves?" I want to buy something for my family to take home," said the shopkeeper, "You are from Beijing, right, I will give you a little cheaper, five hundred yuan a pound." Yongzheng was very surprised when he heard this price, and his face suddenly darkened, and then he asked the minister Zhang Tingyu to buy two pounds of tea, and the group left in a hurry.
So why did the emperor have to buy these teas? Because when he was in the palace, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs told the emperor that Huangshan Maojian needed thirty-two to buy. Yongzheng felt that there must be cattiness in this, so he sent someone down to investigate, and it turned out that there was really cattiness here! It turned out that the general manager and the tea merchant colluded with each other to arbitrarily raise the price of tea and earn the difference. After the Yongzheng Emperor knew the truth, he beheaded these two people, and since then he has better stabilized the market for folk tea, so Yongzheng is really a good emperor for the country and the people!
