Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 161 Don’t Worry, Master Wei, This Person Is Not You

Li You soon had a candidate in his mind, and this person was his uncle Yin Hongzhi.

Now Li You's impression of Yin Hongzhi is very good.

After Yin Hongzhi's leg was broken by Yuhuatian, he calmed down, and his relationship with everyone in Nishang also made great progress.

Now that everyone in Nishang has agreed to help Li You manage the boat, Li You is also going to give his uncle a chance to get the moon first.

After Concubine Yin found out about Li You asking Yu Huatian to break Yin Hongzhi's leg, Concubine Yin gave him a hard lesson.

At that time, if Yin Hongzhi hadn't dissuaded his sister, Li You's life would have been even more difficult.

So this time, it was Li You who reciprocated.

After thinking about the candidate, Li You said, "Your Majesty, regarding the Salt Supervisor, I already have a candidate in my mind."

Li Shimin did not expect that Li You would have a candidate all of a sudden.

Soon he remembered that Li Junxian had said that Li You had appointed a palace chief Shi, who was said to be quite talented.

Now the status of this Salt Supervisor is the same as that of the Fifth Supervisor, and the supervisor is a senior member of the third rank, which is much higher than that of Wangfu Chief Shi.

"But the long history of your palace? I have also heard of his talent and learning, and I think it is enough for this important task."

However, Li You shook his head, then turned his head to look at Wei Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, this salt supervisor is going to borrow one of the fifth-rank officials at Yushitai!"

Wei Zheng was also surprised when he saw Li You looking at him.

The advising doctor Wei Zheng is currently serving happens to be an official of the Yushitai on the fifth rank.

Hearing what Li You said, Wei Zheng struggled incomparably.

On the one hand, he felt that making salt for the people of the Tang Dynasty was a very important job, and it was Li You's trust in him to let him be the salt supervisor.

But on the other hand, he didn't want to concentrate his energy in such a small space as the salt workshop.

He has bigger ambitions, and he wants to use his talents elsewhere.

Wei Zheng's hesitation was also noticed by Li Shimin.

He also hated Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's current position is low only because he has just returned to the court.

Li Shimin invited Wei Zheng out from the mountains because he thought Wei Zheng was a prime minister.

With such a talent, Li Shimin didn't want him to be buried in this salt workshop.

If the salt prison was directly controlled by the imperial court, Li Shimin might not feel anything, but it is different if it is under the Shence Mansion.

Once you enter the Shence Mansion, you will be out of the sequence of Beijing officials.

Unless Shence Mansion is disbanded, Wei Zheng will belong to Li You.

Of course Li Shimin didn't want to, he immediately said half-jokingly: "Your, don't think about Wei Aiqing. Wei Aiqing still has a lot of value in me."

"When we were discussing just now, we also said that now that Dai Zhou has gone to the Shence Mansion, Shangshu Province is short of manpower, and we are going to ask Wei Aiqing to fill the position of Shangshu Zuocheng. Isn't it Xuanling?"

Fang Xuanling was taken aback, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, now that Dai Zhou is missing, Shang Shusheng's big room is very busy, we are looking forward to Master Wei's arrival!"

Shangshu Zuo Chengzheng is the fourth rank, although he is still inferior to Jianzheng, but he is equivalent to the prime minister's right-hand man.

In many cases, they need to help the prime minister to review the six memorials.

Compared with the supervisor who works hard every day in the workshop, Wei Zheng is naturally more willing to go to Shangshu Province.

This time Wei Zheng didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately knelt down to thank him.

Fang Du and the two on the side also expressed their gratitude immediately.

[Hey, why are you acting in front of me? I don't want Wei Zheng to help me. 】

【Although the farmer's rebellion is showing signs of easing, he is just a thorn in the side, even if you give it to me, I don't even want it. 】

[Li Er, the fear of being dominated by Tian Sheweng, you will gradually remember it! 】

Li You chuckled, and before Li Shimin could react, he also congratulated Wei Zheng, and then said: "Father, what I want is Master Chengyin in Yushi Zhong, who is my uncle."

Hearing Yin Hongzhi's name, Li Shimin suddenly realized.

It is only natural for this uncle to help his nephew. After some epiphany, Li Shimin readily agreed.

When the matter came to a conclusion, Li Shimin naturally brought Fang and Du back to the palace to draft an edict, while Wei Zheng returned to his home happily.

Before leaving, Li You also generously gave everyone a big bag of this batch of refined salt, which made Wei Zheng feel even more happy.

Although this bag of refined salt is not expensive, this thing has a price and no market!
The finest salt on the market is not as good as one-third of these refined salts, and even Li Shimin's special tribute salt is not as good as it.

Looking at Wei Zheng again, what he ate at home was fine salt that was slightly better than coarse salt.

Even these fine salts are actually in the honor of his wife, Mrs. Pei.

Wei Zheng's wife was from the Pei family in Hedong, and it was precisely because of this relationship that Pei Ju dared to volunteer to find Wei Zheng before.

When he got home, Wei Zheng shouted loudly: "Lady, let's see what my husband brought you back!"

Wei Zheng's self-satisfied and eager to show off, if Li Shimin saw it, he would probably be shocked.

Knowing that Wei Zheng went out with Pei Ju, Mrs. Pei guessed, "But did my uncle give you anything good?"

Wei Zheng grinned and said, "It's indeed a good thing, but it wasn't from your uncle, it was from the King of Chu."

Mrs. Pei also knew about Pei Ju and Li You's affairs, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried at the moment: "Husband, didn't you say that we will no longer be involved in the prince's disputes after hiding?"

Wei Zheng glanced at his wife appreciatively. Under such circumstances, he didn't care about Zhenbao at all, but worried about his own safety.

How can a husband ask for such a beautiful woman.

"It doesn't matter this time, His Majesty was there when King Chu sent me off, and His Majesty even promoted me to Shangshu Zuocheng!"

"Starting tomorrow, my husband will be on duty in Shang Shusheng's big house!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei was also overjoyed, and quickly said: "That's really a happy event. Fortunately, it's still early, so I'll cook two more dishes tonight for my husband to celebrate!"

Hearing that Mrs. Pei was going to cook, Wei Zheng quickly took out the salt and said, "Madam, use this to cook! This is the good thing I said."

Pei took a look, and was overjoyed again.

"Salt so fine and white is really precious. This thing can't be kept in the kitchen. I'll use a small amount to cook. Other husbands should keep it safe."

Mrs. Pei took the salt and left, and soon a scent came over.

"This is the scent of refined salt! It's so fragrant!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is truly blessed by heaven, otherwise it would be impossible to extract such delicious table salt!"

As soon as he thought that the Salt Supervisor could continuously provide Datang with such refined salt in the future, Wei Zheng felt refreshed for a while, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Brother, why are you so happy!"

Suddenly, a rough voice sounded, and then Wei Zheng heard several heavy footsteps.
