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

"You are also to count the land and property of the aristocratic landlords in Chang'an. Regardless of whether there are disputes or whether they are right or wrong, all property must be confiscated."

"If a guilty person is found, there is no need for a complicated trial; he should be dragged directly to the Meridian Gate and beheaded as a warning to the public, so as to uphold the law of the country."

"If there is no substantiated evidence, we will properly arrange resettlement housing for them in Chang'an City and ensure they have a place to stay."

"All confiscated property must be delivered to the Ministry of Revenue without missing a centimeter. The Ministry of Revenue will carefully count and verify it, register it, and then return it to the treasury."

Every word your Majesty says is as majestic as a military order and cannot be questioned.

"The last general takes command!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Xianhuai's eyes flashed with determination. He knew very well that this mission was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but this was the trust of His Majesty, and he would definitely do his best.

"Where is the Minister of Revenue?"

His Majesty's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the ministers.

"Minister of Revenue Li Wei pays respect to His Majesty!"

A middle-aged man in official uniform walked out steadily. He was about forty years old, with a calm face and a firm gaze. Every step he took was steady and majestic.

"Did you hear everything I just said?"

Li Chengqian looked at him, his eyes full of majesty and expectation.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Li Wei spoke in a firm tone and loud voice. He was well aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered. This was not only related to the court's financial revenue, but also to the stability and harmony of society, and he could not afford to be careless.

"Qin Ruzhao!"

Li Chengqian gave the order again, and his voice echoed in the hall.

"The general is here!"

Qin Ruzhao responded with a voice so loud that it shook the roof tiles.

"From now on, Chang'an City is under martial law. Only entry is permitted, no exit. You will lead the soldiers of the three battalions and Lord Longwu to patrol the city day and night. No suspicious individual must be spared. You must ensure the safety of Chang'an City, as if guarding an impenetrable fortress. No one is allowed to leave the city."

"The last general takes orders."

Qin Ruzhao clasped his fists and accepted the order. His expression was solemn. He knew that the safety of Chang'an City now depended on him. He would live up to the trust of His Majesty and protect this heart of the Tang Dynasty.

"Pei Xingjian!"

His Majesty looked at a minister with trust in his eyes.

"Chen is here!"

Pei Xingjian stepped out with an upright posture.

"You are now the Minister of Works. I have ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds for the construction of a blue brick factory and a cement factory in Chang'an. Recruit those without a source of income and those who are not worthy to work there. Pay them the same as the craftsmen in Xianyang City and do not treat them unfairly. By the end of this year, I want to see the completion of the Great Tang Cement Road. That cement road will run through Chang'an City like a giant dragon, becoming a major innovation of our Great Tang. Next year, I want to see the walls of Chang'an impenetrable, like a wall of iron and steel, protecting the people of our Great Tang!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Pei Xingjian's eyes were determined. Although he knew that the task was extremely difficult, he was full of confidence. This was a great opportunity to make achievements for the Tang Dynasty. He was determined to make Chang'an City look brand new.

"Instruct the Ministry of Agriculture to quickly draft a charter to distribute the latest varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn to the people of Chang'an at an appropriate time this year. All land and farmland in Chang'an, whether fertile or barren, must plant these three crops within three years."

Li Chengqian's eyes revealed his eager expectations for agricultural development, as if he had already seen the scene of a bountiful harvest in the fields in the future.

"It's your Majesty!"

The official from the Ministry of Agriculture accepted the order, as he was well aware of the importance of these three crops to the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Chengqian issued this series of orders, the old ministers could understand the previous arrangements. After all, they had been in officialdom for many years and were familiar with matters such as power changes, military deployments, and engineering construction.

But when they heard about unfamiliar things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, they all looked puzzled, with confusion in their eyes, and started whispering to each other.

As a highly respected official in the court, Fang Xuanling could no longer suppress his curiosity. He took a step forward and bowed.
