Since the position of the crown prince has been confirmed, Li Yuanba did not intend to hide his strength anymore, but officially began to implement his new policy in the court.

"Report to my father!" Li Yuanba changed his previous lazy appearance and came forward seriously and said, "As the prince, I should solve the problems of the country and share the worries of my father. The cement strategy has only fulfilled his duties, so how can I use rewards?"

Humility! Be humble! Although you want it very much, you must refuse it in terms of face. This is the Chinese philosophy of being a human being.

"If you have merits, you must reward you; if you have mistakes, you must punish you. I have always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Sanlang, you have made such great achievements, how can you not reward you? So don't refuse." Li Yuan was very satisfied with his son's attitude. It is rare to be able to win without being arrogant and not being discouraged at a young age.

"This..." Li Yuanba deliberately hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If you really want to reward your father, I will be brave enough to ask for something from my father."

"Oh, what do you want?" Li Yuan was smiling now. His view of Li Yuanba has changed a lot. This son, whom he likes very much, surprised him everywhere. He even helped a lot in military and political affairs, which made Comrade Li very pleased.

Winning, losing, success or failure, Li Yuanba secretly gritted his teeth, and then said, "Father, my son-in-law wants to take charge of all the affairs of cement!"

"Uh~" Li Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yuanba to make such a request?

The civil and military officials around him also looked at Li Yuanba with confusion, not understanding what he was thinking?

Although Li Yuanba was the inventor of cement, since he had already presented cement to the court, the Ministry of Works should come forward to the future and start organizing craftsmen to establish workshops to build cement produced for road construction. Of course, if the output is surplus, it will also sell some for civilian purposes. Apart from being complicated, these things are nothing special. Why did Li Yuanba take on such a boring thing?

"Father, the reason why my son wants to take charge of cement affairs is not for his own self-interest, but for better promotion of cement. When taking charge of cement affairs, he also wants the court to earn more income and reduce the cost of road construction." Li Yuanba saw Li Yuan pondering and continued hurriedly.

"Oh? Can the cost of road construction be reduced?" Li Yuanqi said. It was not that he was reluctant to let it go, but the production and operation of cement were very complicated. People without relevant experience could not understand the clues. Although Li Yuanba was very smart, he was too young after all, so it was difficult for Li Yuan to believe that he could handle cement affairs well.

"Father, if you hand over all the cement affairs to the Erchen, let's not talk about anything else, you can guarantee that you can pay at least 100,000 guan to the treasury every year. And the Erchen dares to guarantee to the Emperor that if it is less than 100,000 guan, then even if you pay out your own pocket, you will make up for the money." Li Yuanba said anxiously. The operation of this cement is related to the implementation of his future plan, so he will take over the matter even if he loses money.

"Okay! It's rare that you have such a determination. Cement was invented by you, so it's okay to leave it to you for operation. However, cement is related to road construction, so you have to guarantee me that you must not delay road construction." Li Yuan didn't care much about paying money or something. As long as you can avoid delaying road construction, it would be the same to anyone. Of course, he had a little selfishness and wanted to see what else could surprise him, the son of Li Yuanba?

Seeing Li Yuan's agreement, Li Yuanba was overjoyed and bowed deeply and said loudly: "Thank you, my son will never let my father down!" The big thing was settled, and Li Yuanba seemed to see that he was united with a group of powerful people around him, letting the wind and rain of the Tang Dynasty, I remained unmoved. By then, I became the emperor. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, who were originally resentful, had no choice but to do anything to his strong brother.

Although Pei Ji and other important officials felt that it seemed inappropriate to hand over such an important matter to Li Yuanba, seeing that Li Yuanba had agreed, Li Yuanba's performance these days was often unexpected, so after weighing the pros and cons, no objection was made.

After the meeting, Li Yuanba was left alone by Li Yuan. As a father, he asked in detail how he planned to operate cement.

Li Yuanba did not hide his ideas and explained his ideas to Li Yuan. Some of them also needed the support of Comrade Li. Li Yuan was shocked by Li Yuanba's ideas, then puzzled, and finally praised him and said on the spot that he would give the greatest support to let Li Yuanba do his best.

It was already noon for Li Yuanba to return to the prince's mansion. Li Yuanba had something to do. After eating something, he locked himself in the study alone and refused to come out. Liu Ni'er thought that something had happened to Li Yuanba, so she was anxious to wander around outside the study, but she didn't dare to go in.

It was not until dark at night that Li Yuanba came out of the study with a tired look on his face, with a strange excitement in his eyes. He spent an afternoon supplementing the details of the previous plan to ensure that the subsequent implementation can proceed smoothly.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Liu Nier hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Hahaha~, what can I do?" Although he was very tired, Li Yuanba was in a good mood. He laughed and raised the plan he wrote in his hand and then said: "Ni'er, after dinner, help me copy this thing. If there is something I can't understand, come and ask me directly." Although he has learned a lot of traditional Chinese characters during this period and can barely use it, he is still far from writing alone. When he encounters traditional Chinese characters that he can't write, he will use simplified Chinese characters instead. The fonts are even more messy. Taking them out will definitely make people laugh, so Ni'er usually needs to copy them.

"Ni'er obeys the order!" Seeing that Li Yuanba was so excited, Ni'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Li Yuanba's orders, she immediately agreed, and a bright smile appeared on her little face, which had been tense for the afternoon.

Li Yuanba was so excited by Nier's soft voice that he felt so happy today that he couldn't help but reach out and touch her little face and laughed: "Nier is so good, your prince is going to do big things! Hahahaha~" After saying that, he left with a laugh.

Ni'er was thin-skinned and her face turned red by Li Yuanba's intimate behavior. She didn't pay attention to what Li Yuanba said. She looked at Li Yuanba's departure back, and her face was full of confusion. After a long time, she said to herself: "What's your highness going crazy today? He is already the prince, so why are you doing big things?"
