I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"Your Majesty, you...?"

"You just said that Johor will not be punished?"

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "I summoned you not because Johor has offended the Tang Dynasty, but because I want to give you a great opportunity."

When Ma Za heard this, he was stunned for a moment and knelt there blankly.

Before he could recover from the shock, Li Chengqian continued, "Ma Zha, do you have a tree in Johor that produces gum? The gum is white."

Maza nodded subconsciously and answered without hesitation: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the trefoil tree?"

Hearing this answer, Li Chengqian patted the table lightly, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

"Yes, that's it."

Li Chengqian secretly felt relieved. Although he was not sure about the specific name of the rubber tree in this era, he knew that the full name of the rubber tree in the past was Hevea brasiliensis.

Now when he heard Maza mention the trifoliate tree, he immediately knew that this was the rubber tree he was looking for.

"Yes, Maza, it's this trefoil tree!"

"I will have the Ministry of Revenue allocate funds to you. You will return to Johor tomorrow and transport the shamrocks back to Chang'an for me."

"You did a great job on this matter. I will grant you an official position in the Tang Dynasty!"

When Ma Zha heard Li Chengqian's words, he felt his head buzzing.

He was just worried that his life would be in danger because of Johor's anger towards the Tang Dynasty, but in the blink of an eye, he had a huge opportunity to obtain an official position in the Tang Dynasty.

This huge gap made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Being able to hold an official position in the Tang Dynasty means that he will completely change his destiny and become a member of the Tang Dynasty from then on.

By then, even the King of Johor would have to treat him with courtesy.

On the second day, at the first light of dawn, Ma Zha was still half asleep and confused when he was urged by the Tang Dynasty's Jinyiwei to embark on the journey back to Johor.

He was full of surprise. Originally, according to his expectations, it was in accordance with the usual style and procedures of the Tang Dynasty.

In any case, he should have three to five days to prepare carefully.

After all, there are many luggage items and various things that need to be brought back to Johor that need to be carefully considered and packed.

He never expected that yesterday His Majesty's golden words, announcing that tomorrow, the Tang Dynasty court would actually act decisively without any delay.

He was a little shocked. In all his years in the Tang Dynasty, he had never witnessed such amazing efficiency and action of the Tang Dynasty court.

The speed was so fast that he was caught off guard, and many of the luggage and important items that he had originally planned to prepare were not ready in time.

After finding out the exact whereabouts of the clover tree, Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.

He stood in the Taiji Hall, looking through the door at the court outside.

I am silently planning a grand blueprint for the future.

At this time, we only need to wait for the day when the power of the aristocratic families is completely eradicated, and then we can reorganize the world's situation and reorganize the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is to successfully develop and manufacture the steam engine, thereby opening the road to the industrial age for the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was vast, with a vast territory of fifteen provinces and three hundred and fifty-eight states.

Li Chengqian knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and could be called the "weightlifting champion" of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Xianyang Industry Ministry, Cui Dayong looked solemn and worried as he stared at the steam engine in front of him that they had painstakingly built.

Today, this steam engine can run smoothly by burning coal, and the only remaining key problem is sealing.

Once the sealing problem is properly solved, Cui Dayong firmly believes that this steam engine will bring unprecedented huge development opportunities to Datang.

But this difficulty, which seemed to be only one step away, had troubled them for two and a half years.
