The Emperor didn't expect Zhao Yao to come asking for a tea tax, "You brat, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Father, over these years, you know how much money the court has earned because of the new tea." Zhao Yao said with his arms crossed, "The new tea was my idea, and it was my suggestion to make the new tea into tribute tea, that's why it's become so popular, right?"
The Emperor said, "Right."
Zhao Yao continued to ask, "Without me, there would be no new tea, right?"
The Emperor lightly nodded and said, "Right."
Zhao Yao: "Without the new tea, the court wouldn't have made so much money from it, correct?"
The Emperor: "Correct."
"So, the money the court has made from the new tea over these years is all thanks to me, do you agree?"
"I have no objection."
"Then shouldn't the court reward me?" Zhao Yao said with his hands on his hips, "These years, I haven't asked you for a penny. Now the tea tax has increased, shouldn't I get a share of the money?"
