For everyone that thinks that the tea is given away, it isn't. England is paying you in ships, British Pounds, and possibly the capital to get started. The price of silver was going up. England was on the gold standard, so it needed to buy its silver from other countries. In theory, it would just be simpler for England to pay you in pounds, get all of your silver from opium sales, spend it all on tea, and keep your income and expenses for Pounds and silver separate to avoid exchange fees, which were much greater than then now.
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO!
Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO!
Baby, let's go!
I came to dance, dance, dance, dance
I hit the floor
'Cause that's my, plans, plans, plans, plans
I'm wearing all my favorite
Brands, brands, brands, brands
Give me space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands
Ye, ye
Cause it goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on
