The system's reward sounded.
Li Yuan's eyes could not help but reveal a hint of surprise.
In his view, the Great Tang's technology was far too backward, and those iron ores did not need to be mined. They were all exposed to the ground.
Li Yuan calmed himself down, nodded, and took a sip of tea.
Then he looked at Li Shi Min and said,"Shi Min, I haven't had the time to tell you about the Pei family's responsibility for the Qing Liang Mountain, but Pei Ji's eldest son has done a great job."”
"After the matter of Mount Qing Liang is on the right track, with his contributions, he can be conferred a title. You can discuss it with the Bureau of Rites and prepare a decree.”
Li Shi Min was confused.
"I understand."”
Pei Ji sat there with tears streaming down his face. His son being conferred a title of nobility was his lifelong wish. He did not have to worry about his descendants.
He stood up and bowed to Li Yuan.""This old subject Pei Ji thanks Your Majesty for your grace!”
Pei Ji knelt down and did not get up for a long time.
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shi Min, who immediately went up to help Pei Ji up and said,"Elder Pei, the ground is cold. You should get up first.”
Pei Ji stood up in fear as he wiped his tears.
Li Yuan also stood up and said,"Lin Cheng, order someone to send Xuanzhen back. Have the imperial physician treat him for three days and prescribe some prescriptions. All the medicinal herbs should be collected in the palace."”
When Pei Ji heard Li Yuan's concern for him, he could not stop his tears.
However, he was still led out by Lin Cheng. Pei Ji looked back at Li Yuan with every step he took, feeling touched.
After Pei Ji left.
Li Shiming looked at Li Yuan with a puzzled expression and said,""Imperial Father, your son doesn't understand. Pei Ji doesn't have any plans or strategies, so why do you value him so much?”
Li Yuan looked at Li Shiming and smiled meaningfully,""As a ruler, you need to learn from each other's strengths and be aware of the strengths of your subjects. Pei Ji is indeed not suitable to be an official.”
"But he made a decision back then. Father had no foundation, so he helped me open the Jin Yang Palace.”
"Do you think that an ordinary person can do this?”
"It was a huge gamble. He lost and his entire family was wiped out, but he won. Then, I will grant him a hundred years of wealth. Moreover, Pei Ji is not useless.”
"If you can't be an official, then in business, even ten Liu Wenjing added together can't compare to one Pei Ji!”
Li Yuan said lightly.
He didn't know that his words had caused a tsunami in Li Shi Min's heart.
So it wasn't that officialdom wasn't black and white.
As the emperor.
In his eyes, a subject could not only be a subject.
Li Shiming thought about it carefully. Back then, when Li Yuan rebelled, it seemed that there was no one without money, and there was not much chance of winning.
Pei Ji still risked his life to open Jin Yang's palace.
Li Shimin asked himself, if he was not Li Yuan's son, but was in Pei Ji's shoes, he could not guarantee that he would have the courage to follow Li Yuan.
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Yuan,"Thank you, Imperial Father, for your teachings.”
Li Yuan smiled and said,"Shimin, it's hard to be a ruler. You still have to learn slowly."”
"However, don't be discouraged. You handled the morning court session quite well.”
Hearing Li Yuan's praise, Li Shi Min smiled happily and said,"Thank you Imperial Father for your praise, but your son would like to ask, what is the matter of the Qing Liang Mountain that you mentioned?”
"We need to reward the Pei family with a title of nobility."
Li Yuan slowly took two steps and looked at Eunuch Lin.
Eunuch Lin immediately poured a cup of tea for Li Shiming.
Li Shiming was stunned. When he came in, he saw Li Yuan drinking tea here. He was drinking this green leaf, which carried a faint fragrance.
Is this called tea?
The tea didn't need chopped green onions, ginger, and salt.
There were even many red dates, mint, Zhu Yu, and other things. He had never seen this leaf before.
However, Li Shimin was still confused.
He still took a sip of the tea. A faint bitter taste fell on the tip of his tongue, and then he couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls.
However, a cup of tea only cost so much.
Li Shiming carefully put down his teacup and looked at Li Yuan with a surprised expression."Imperial Father, what tea is this?”
"When the Guanyin maidservant made me drink the tea, I found it hard to swallow.”
"But when I drink this tea, I feel that it's very delicious. Imperial Father, can you pour me another cup?”
Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Shiming's words,""This isn't anything valuable. I call it tea leaves.”
"The entire mountain region of Mount Qing Liang is filled with this tea.”
"And tea leaves exist in almost all of the provinces of the Great Tang. Once they are mined, the income from the tea leaves will be no less than that of the salt industry.”
"If you like it, go find Pei Yunfeng later and ask him to pick some tender tips for you. Of course, this tea leaves still needs to be tanned, stir-fried, and more than ten other processes.”
"Take this booklet first, understand?”
Li Shimin took the car from Li Yuan.
He could not help but sigh.
He felt that the tea leaves were the best in the world. Once they were sold, they would quickly become popular in Chang 'an. Once they spread in Chang' an, they would spread to countless regions.
Where did the silver of the Great Tang come from?
Phew--
Li Shiming sighed as he looked at the book in his hand. He felt that it was worth thousands of taels. Li Shiming took the teacup again and took a sip.
Then, he said,"Imperial Father, don't worry. Your son will personally supervise the matter of Mount Qing Liang. There will definitely be no mistakes."”
Li Yuan casually waved his hand and said,""It's just a small amount of money. It doesn't matter. The most important thing for you is to learn how to be an emperor.”
"The memorial, Zhen has already instructed the Grand Scholar to send it to the royal study for you.”
"Go and review the memorials first. Zhen still has some things to do!”
Li Shi Min slowly left and went to the royal study to read the mountain of memorials.
Li Yuan looked at Eunuch Lin and said,""Is the carriage ready? Today, I plan to go out of the palace to fish and relax.”
"Managing a country is too tiring!”
