Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 123 Why are you?

Both Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde knew that it was impossible to get the refined salt from the East Palace today, so they could only settle for the next best thing and quickly snatch the refined salt that the prince didn't want.

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, the fine salt that could be discarded casually in the eyes of the crown prince could cause the two dukes to fight to the death.

Then when the salt company refines the refined salt that Li Fu is satisfied with and distributes it to the market, it will definitely open a real Zhenguan prosperous age for itself!

With longing for a better future, Li Shimin, Xiao Yu and others left the East Palace.

As soon as Li Shimin and others left, Li Mingda and Changsun Pingting all surrounded Li Chengtong.

"The princess is so powerful, she became a third-rank member of the imperial court in no time!"

"Yes, yes, I am the first third-rank female official in the history of Tang Dynasty. She is not a palace official, but a real court official!"

"Have a good day tomorrow. Chengtong, you are capable of going to court. You will definitely be able to subdue all the civil and military ministers as soon as you appear!"

Li Chengtong was already panicking in his heart, but when he heard Li Mingda say that he would go to court tomorrow, he suddenly panicked even more.

"Oh, don't make fun of me, how can I be a court official, brother prince..."

"Help me quickly, help me tell His Majesty, let him take back his life, and don't let me be the Secretary of the Salt Manufacturing Division!"

Li Chengtong was really panicked. She was just a teenage girl who had never been in contact with officialdom, so when she thought that she was going to be in the officialdom, she panicked even more.

Li Fu looked at Li Chengtong, his eyes full of encouragement, "It's okay, a third-rank official doesn't want you to be a first-rank prime minister, it's actually very simple."

Simple?Li Chengtong felt a headache, and his face was speechless. The prince's brother really dared to say that being the salt maker Sizheng was enough to give him a headache. If she was allowed to be the prime minister, she would have to commit suicide.

"It's all right, I'll stay in the East Palace tonight, and I will teach you all the details of making salt, and then you can do it yourself a few times, and you will understand it in your heart!"

"As long as you know how to make salt yourself, then the position of the director of salt making must belong to you!" Li Fu comforted Li Chengtong with a firm tone, and Li Chengtong calmed down a little.

After having dinner with Li Mingda in the East Palace, only Li Chengtong stayed in the East Palace alone. Li Mingda and the eldest grandson Pingting left one after another, and then Li Chengtong began to learn how to make salt under Li Fu's instruction.

Li Fu directly started the duck-feeding mode. In addition to teaching Li Chengtong to make salt, he also gave Li Chengtong all the knowledge of modern chemistry and biology.

Li Chengtong suddenly felt that a new door opened in front of him, and he felt that his world seemed to be different.

As for whether Li Chengtong could figure it out, Li Fu didn't care at all. He only wanted Li Chengtong to memorize the knowledge and give him a good job in the salt-making department so that he could have free time to sleep.

On the second day, Li Fu went to bed directly because he stayed up all night.

Li Shimin originally sent eunuchs to invite Li Fu to court, but with Cao Shaoqin guarding the door, those eunuchs couldn't enter Li Fu's bedroom at all.

The eunuch knew that Cao Shaoqin was powerful, so he could only settle for the next best thing, and took Li Chengtong away who was in a daze, and by the way, he also served Li Chengtong to change into the official robe of the third-rank mansion.

"Ah, do you have to go to court so early? Why doesn't the prince brother have to go to court? What, he wants to sleep, and I want to sleep too!"

Li Chengtong sat in the car with a mournful face, yawning continuously, looking at the dark sky outside, feeling that being an official was too hard, and thinking about how she would live this kind of life every day in the future, she felt even more uncomfortable.

At this time, the palace and the political hall were full of voices, and Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's two loudspeakers had let everyone know that the new Salt Manufacturing Division was just a teenage girl!
"It's simply ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. How can a teenage girl be a third-rank official in the imperial court?"

"No, starting from the early morning, I will play to His Majesty, how can this kind of thing be allowed to happen!"

"It's so unbelievable that a woman is actually allowed to serve as an official. Throughout history, this is the first time in history!"

"Isn't it a joke that a girl can take care of the salt company as a teenage girl?"

"It was recommended by the prince again. Hmph, the prince is getting more and more outrageous. It's just nonsense!"

"Such absurd things must not be allowed to happen in the court, and we must work together to achieve it!"

The officials who participated in the court meeting were all officials of the fifth rank or above, so most of the officials in the court were only the fifth rank officials.

When they know that there is a teenage girl who has become a third-rank official and rides on their heads, how can they not be envious and jealous?

Li Daozong also went to court today, entered the hall and saw excited officials everywhere, he couldn't help asking Li Xiaogong beside him, "Prince Hejian, what's going on, why are everyone so lively today?"

"It's so lively here." Li Xiaogong chuckled, "Didn't you hear? Tiance Mansion just established a new government department recently, which is the salt production department. Hasn't the department of this salt production department been left vacant all the time?"

"Well, I know." Li Daozong nodded and said: "Isn't there still a papermaking department and a printing department? I heard that the Sizheng of these three prefectures and the Honglu Temple are all on the same level. Why? The three Sizhengs have already been selected ?”

"It's Sizheng of the Salt Manufacturing Department!" Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "Yesterday, His Majesty ordered a 16-year-old girl to sit in the position of Si Zheng of the Salt Manufacturing Department. No, all the courtiers know about it. Can you not be excited? ?”

"Ah?" Li Daozong looked surprised, "Your Majesty asked a 16-year-old girl to be the chief minister, isn't it troublesome?"

"When will women be able to be court officials? At the same age as my girl, Your Majesty is in a daze?"

"Who says it's not!" Li Xiaogong was worried at this time, "Look over there, the Yushitai is already preparing to perform jointly, and this morning, I'm afraid there will be a commotion!"

"Here we come, the new director of salt making is here!" Suddenly, Song Guogong Xiao Yu called out.

In an instant, the ministers from all over looked towards the entrance of the main hall one after another, and fell on the person who had just entered the hall.

At this time, Li Chengtong was wearing a third-rank officer's robe, walking slowly in the hall, feeling the gazes from all around, full of complex emotions, his heart beating hard.

At this time, Li Daozong was completely interested in watching the excitement, but he suddenly realized that the new Salt Manufacturing Division, Sizheng, who came over, looked more and more familiar, so an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.

When Li Chengtong walked up to Li Daozong, Li Daozong suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Chengtong, why is it you, why are you..."
