Li Er saw all the reactions of the officials below.
Just when he was about to say something with a smug look on his face, Li Yuan next to him coughed twice.
Li Er turned around and saw Li Yuan looking in the direction of Zhang Ananda.
After a moment of hesitation, he remembered that he still had some important things to do.
So he quickly nodded towards Zhang Ananda.
Zhang Ananda understood what he meant, reached into his sleeve, and took out an imperial edict in his hand.
He took two steps forward with his head held high, and with a light cough, he held the imperial edict in front of him and spoke aloud, "The Emperor of the Great Tang orders: Today, Zhou Yu, a Chang'an native, has presented high-yield seeds and recipes for refined salt, soap, and wine to the court.
