Liu Yuan guessed correctly, Apo. As soon as he said to Cui Jing, Cui Jing only hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed.

not only agreed, but also praised Liu Yuan for using his brain to do things, and pulled the strength for Qinghe Cui's family, this is Liu Yuan's first time, for Qinghe Cui's family, this is a positive signal.

Liu Yuan did something that surprised Cui Jing, and Li Er also did something that made Liu Yuan speechless: that is, the Songtsen Gampo family was placed under house arrest in a house in Wubenfang, which was at the request of Hu Xin, Liu Yuan entered the palace and obtained Li Er's consent, only then did he know the location where Songtsen Gampo was placed under house arrest, Wubenfang, that Guozijian had already occupied half of the place, this is a place where paper and ink are fragrant and the sound of books is loud, what is Li Er going to do, this is to prepare to use the words of the sage to wash the murderous spirit in Songtsen Gampo's heart and consume his ambition?

Wouldn't it be better to send him to the temple?

Liu Yuan originally wanted to accompany Hu Xin's mother and daughter, but when he entered the door, he retreated and asked Yue Chong to protect the two of them and wait outside the door.

After all, he was captured by himself, and he felt guilty, and then the brother and sister hadn't seen each other for many years, and they should also be given a space to speak freely, Hu Xin went in with his head down, and came out for more than an hour, although there were tears in the corners of his eyes, but there was a relieved expression on his face, as if he was untying the knot, and he was in a good mood, as for what they talked about, Hu Xin didn't say, and Liu Yuan didn't ask.

However, it was the first time that Xiao Liu Xue saw her mother's relatives, and she received a few good meeting gifts, whether it was from sincerity or falsehood, it was a good start.

In this way, the matter of Tibet. It has also been resolved, the resettlement that should be placed, and the visitation that should be visited. The damned ones are also dead-hearted, there is no concern, no need to go to the court, and no involvement in political struggles, Liu Yuan's life has become simple and fulfilling, taking care of business, training the mighty army, and preparing for the construction of two new roads at the same time.

Although it is a new road at the same time, the treatment is different: Luozhou to Qinghe is a veritable highway, straight in the curve. Regardless of the cost, try to do your best, because that's what you charge for. The Chang'an to Songzhou can only be regarded as a highway, and Liu Yuan adopts the most cost-effective plan, and does not insist on the standard of Changluo Expressway. Anyway, just lay cement on it. Most of them are poured cement on the original official road, which saves more than half of the cost.

After all, the cost of building bridges in every mountain and water is not low.

This is a road built by the imperial court, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works are ready-made, and the labor side is successfully solved by apportioning labor rumors and prisoners and prisoners in prison cells. In particular, he defeated Tibet and captured a large number of young people. happened to be pulled to build the road, with the experience of Changluo Expressway, the cooperation is more tacit, and the most confused Liu Yuan is still silver.

Cement, sand and gravel, all kinds of materials, building materials, eating, drinking, and Lasa all need silver, buying land, compensating for crops destroyed by road construction, all kinds of things are inseparable from the word "money", although this is done under the banner of the imperial court to benefit the people, but it can't be discredited to the emperor and himself, the people don't ask for a price that is good, what should be given, what should be paid, or pay, and the craftsmen of the court can use it for free, so it is good for them to receive the court's money, and they have to let them eat on weekdays.

If you want to run fast immediately, you have to let the horses eat more grass, those prisoners, prisoners and others, according to the standards of the imperial court, it is an absolute clear soup and little water, not a drop of oil, not to mention meat, building roads is a physical work, not to mention that they have to do coolies in winter, there is no oil in their stomachs, it is irresistible, preparing to preside over the construction of roads, this is a great merit, Liu Yuan does not want to preside over the construction of the road by himself is full of "corpses", it is necessary to improve their food, in this way, the silver is spent like flowing water.

Liu Yuan donated one million himself. The color individual and the Apo family donated a total of more than 40,000 taels, and with Liu Yuan's efforts, they were engaged in activities and auctions, but the effect was not as good as the first time, and the total only raised more than 400,000 taels, which was less than half of Liu Yuan's personal donation.

More than one million taels, it seems to be a huge amount of money, if a family of a few people, just brocade clothes and food, no loser talent, bad habits, two lifetimes can not be spent, but for a large project that often takes ten or eight years to complete, it is not spent at all, just the cement, materials and other things to be purchased have spent most of it, and before the large-scale construction has started, Liu Yuan has little money left.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Liu Yuan, who was thinking hard in the Chang'an newspaper, was so worried that he couldn't speak.

"Owner, didn't you say that Xu Xu Tuzhi?" Gong Sheng patiently persuaded: "Anyway, the emperor did not set a deadline, if there is silver, we will start work, if there is no silver, we will put it on hold first, when there is silver, when will it start, Gong remembered that the owner said, for officials, it is already great to sell yourself, but don't sell your life, the general donated a million taels, up and down the Tang Dynasty, which does not say that the emperor is benevolent and righteous, you have done well enough." ”

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "What you said, Liu understands it, but you have to come up with a little achievement to block Youyou's mouth first, otherwise they say that Liu Mou is empty and has a vegetarian meal, wouldn't it be too wrong?" No matter what, the highway from Chang'an to Fengzhou must be completed within three years. ”

Gong Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Then the owner has to think of a way." ”

"You kid usually has a lot of ghost ideas, help me think about it, what's the way?

Liu Yuan came to Chang'an Newspaper this time, in the final analysis, to raise funds.

Gong Sheng was in a dilemma all of a sudden, Liu Yuan was not only his owner, but also the noble person in his life, without Liu Yuan, the famous "Eight Bricks Doctor" might become "Doctor Starvation", and now Liu Yuan asked him to find a way, and he really didn't dare to push it.

Fundraising, charity sales, and charity performances have all been used, but I don't know if they have been done more frequently recently, and the effect is getting weaker and weaker, especially for a big project like monastery, without financial support, without a stable source of funds, all the way to "turn the edge" all the way to build, the difficulty is really not small.

Rao is resourceful Gong Sheng, and he doesn't have any good ideas for a while.

Embarrassed, for a while, both of them frowned and thought about how to raise money.

"The owner, Director Gong, let's eat some rice cakes." While the two were pondering, a maid came in with a box of rice cakes.

Gong Sheng frowned and said, "At this time, what rice cakes to eat, didn't you expect that we were busy?" ”

Like Liu Yuan, when Gong Sheng was thinking about something, he was most afraid of being interrupted by others, and when he saw the maid coming in and interrupting his train of thought, Gong Sheng's face was elongated.

The maid was startled and muttered, "I'm sorry, the curator is sorry, this is the princess sent someone to send more than ten catties, saying that it will be distributed to everyone to eat, so"

Liu Yuan ate a piece casually, frowned and said: "This rice cake is rough and sandy, and there is a mushy smell, this is not made in the palace, let alone such an ordinary pastry, no one in the palace makes it, why did the princess send so much?" ”

"Could it be mistaken, the pastries sent by the princess are usually very delicious, and this is too unpalatable." Gong Sheng tasted it and immediately put it down.

"Listen to the palace maid who sent it, this rice cake is not made by the palace kitchen, but when the princess left the palace, she saw a little girl in thin clothes selling rice cakes, her shoes were torn, cold and hungry, but she was still selling with tears, because the taste was not good, no one patronized, the princess saw that she was pitiful, and sent someone to inquire, it turned out that her parents were sick, in order to live, she was only nine years old and learned her mother to make rice cakes to sell, cold and hungry, but she was reluctant to eat a bite, the princess was merciful, bought all her rice cakes, and then sent some of them to the newspaper." The maid inquired very clearly.

Women, by nature, are interested in gossip.

As soon as he heard that it was given by the princess, Gong Sheng pursed his lips, he didn't dare to have any more opinions, looked at the rice cake, and couldn't help but pick up another piece and eat it, I don't know if it was a problem of mood, this time I ate it, the paste tasted, with some sweetness, when I thought that this was made by a nine-year-old girl, the sweetness was a little delicious.

Suddenly, Gong Sheng had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea was formed, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Dongjia, there is a way." ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" Liu Yuan said happily: "Don't sell it, say it quickly." ”

Gong Sheng said happily: "Like fundraising, the number is limited, and the effect is not good, after all, it is not a long-term plan, the owner and his subordinates have said the concept of packaging, Gong is half-aware before, but now I finally understand, just like this rice cake, if it is purely in terms of appearance and taste, it is a failed food, no one wants to pay for it, but once there is a nine-year-old girl and a sick father and mother, everyone will feel that this rice cake is not easy to come by, for a nine-year-old girl, this filial piety is even more rare, Even if it doesn't taste good and doesn't look good, there are still people who are willing to pay for it, and some people are willing to taste it, taste her filial piety, and it is obvious that this is packaged. ”

"If we also carry out some packaging of the goods, not only to achieve the corresponding goals, but also to improve the original economic benefits" Gong Sheng paused for a moment and continued: "If we increase the price of each copy of the Chang'an newspaper by a penny, and then tell those customers that this penny is used to repair the road, he also donated a love and accumulated a merit in addition to buying the newspaper, Gong guessed, no one will put this penny in his eyes, buy a newspaper in addition to being able to read it himself, but also do good deeds, there must be more people willing to buy." ”

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, this method can be extended to the books of Moyun Study, the jewelry of the Jinyu family, and even the Changluo Expressway on the restaurant, restaurant, reverse house and other places are also labeled in the name of charity, and use merit to make packaging, so that no one has an opinion on raising the price, that is, make less money, and the business volume will also soar. ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan patted Gong Sheng's shoulder and said happily: "Gong Sheng, yes, you have made a contribution." (To be continued......)
