"What's the solution?" Li Er hurriedly asked.

"That's the money that Wechen came forward to raise the money that was missing, so that things would be simple and easy."

Li Er stared at Liu Yuan and said, "Oh, you give out the silver?" That's right, my imperial inkstone and Guanyin's jade bracelet were auctioned by you for more than 40,000 taels of silver, and you are also very active in donations, you are rich in wealth, and it is not surprising that you have this financial resources, but Liu Yuan, you suddenly took the initiative to give out the silver, I am afraid that this matter will not be so simple, if you have any intentions, just say it. ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Li Er didn't believe it, Liu Yuan was suddenly so kind.

Liu Yuan was depressed all of a sudden, this is a dumb loss, the ink inkstone that you don't want is 25,000 taels, it's okay not to mention it, it hurts when I mention Liu Yuan, I really want to say that you don't mind, I'll return it to you, but I can't say this, so I have to reluctantly smile and say: "Wechen is afraid that the things of the emperor and the queen will fall into the hands of villains, and the pearl will be secretly invested, so I will take pictures of them, and worship them for a good life, as for the rich net worth, the emperor really wronged Weichen, Weichen's little family background, the emperor is not clear, there are only a few small shops, no land, no village, no garden, Servants and guards are scarce, and the little money in the family is saved here, saying that he is rich, he is really killing Weichen. ”

Li Er thought for a while, nodded lightly, patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Liu Aiqing is loyal, not bad, not bad." ”

"Thank you for your praise."

"Alright, tell me what you want." After praising it, Li Er immediately asked straightforwardly.

Liu Yuan immediately said the plan he had thought about early in the morning: "Your Majesty, Weichen's record is like this, the missing silver will be made up by Weichen, this silver is about 200,000 taels of silver, and it is only a lot more." After the completion of this golden house, the first thirty years will be operated by Weichen, and after thirty years, whether it is a profit or a loss, it must be returned to the imperial court, and then the golden house will be completely owned by the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with Liu, of course, in addition to the normal dilapidation, such as gold, silver and other things. Keeping the status quo and returning it to the imperial court, that is to say, Weichen used 200,000 taels of silver to buy the right to operate the Golden House for 30 years. ”

Two hundred thousand taels? Thirty years?

Liu Yuan's explanation was easy to understand, and Li Er understood it as soon as he heard it. Hearing this, he fell silent all of a sudden, for him. It's a novel option. This made him have to take a look at Liu Yuangao, and changed someone else, either submissively or avoided, only Liu Yuan was talking about business with himself from the perspective of a businessman, bold and presumptuous, frank and cute, and sometimes generous. Sometimes it is necessary to compare, Li Eryue has countless people, and it is the first time to see such a person.

It's kind of interesting.

"No, thirty years is too long. Twenty years, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, that is, profits, twenty years is more than that. Li Di hesitated, and as soon as he spoke, he cut the number of years proposed by Liu Yuan by ten years.

Han one, it's too boring to say this, Liu Yuan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it's not a book of profits, if you can't afford it or have an accident, not only will you have no money to make, but even the capital may be wasted, and besides, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it's not a good job to put money on it, and you can't do such a thing with a bad reputation, the emperor can't do such a thing, 200,000 taels, it's only been 30 years, and there are more than 6,000 taels a year, and more than 6,000 taels is actually a lot." ”

Li Er was unmoved, and just said lightly: "You don't have to give out these 200,000 taels, even if you don't do this project, I can also collect hundreds of thousands of taels to fill the treasury." ”

"Okay, twenty years is twenty years, so much silver has been released, and I don't care about this silver."

This Li Er is becoming more and more shrewd, Liu Yuan agreed while scolding, fortunately, he also guessed that Li Er would "bargain" early on, these twenty years are the ideal price in Liu Yuan's mind, deliberately raise it a little, Li Er was really fooled.

If he had said it would have been 20 years, maybe he would have cut it to 15 or even 10 years.

"Well, yes, Liu Aiqing is loyal and patriotic, and he really deserves to be a loyal and virtuous minister of my Tang Dynasty." Li Er said with a smile.

200,000 taels and 20 years, equivalent to 10,000 taels a year, this is just a small golden house, it is a very good house, it is a big restaurant with a thriving business, and there is a profit of 35,000 taels a year, which is already very good, and now Liu Yuan has taken the initiative to send such a large profit, how can Li Er be unhappy?

In Liu Yuan's words, building a golden house, unlike other things, don't worry that it can't be sold and rot, and you don't have to worry about bad quality and being suppressed by peers and selling poorly, it's just a bunch of gold and silver for people to look at and touch themselves, and there is no loss, if Liu Yuan doesn't do well, then the things he took out of the real money and silver to create belong to him, and there is no risk, if he manages it well, he will also make wedding clothes for himself, and it will still belong to him after 20 years, and there is no loss on the left and right. Liu Yuan naturally had a good heart.

Liu Yuan is in a good mood, at least he has to earn back the money in front of him, pull Li Er, you can also get the protection and support of the government, not afraid of people being jealous, this is Liu Yuan's experience from later generations, the most famous example is the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, which is also a model of private capital and national cooperation, every day is full of traffic, long queues, it can be said that you can make a lot of money, Liu Yuan is looking for such a way, anyway, after twenty years, the freshness is not so strong, There may or may not be a contender.

Li Er asked casually, "Liu Yuan, how is the Changluo Expressway going now?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, with the help of explosives, manpower is also very sufficient, several sections of the road started at the same time, and now it has come to an end, the main road can be put into use at most in March next year, and the engineering around the road, such as planting fruit trees, building guardrails, repairing the house, etc., will continue to be carried out when the road is opened, so that a lot of money can be saved, and the process of returning the funds can also be accelerated, after all, several partners have sold a lot of properties for this matter."

"Next March?" Li Er frowned and said, "Half a month ago, I asked your father-in-law, Lord Jin Jing, about this matter, and he said that it can be arranged in three months at most, so why delay it until March next year?" ”

Liu Yuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, people are not as ruthless as grass and trees, tired for a year, when the New Year, you have to let them go back to reunite with their relatives, it is now the middle of November, and it will be the New Year in more than a month, and after the New Year, it will soon be the Shangyuan Festival, so this holiday is more than ten days, and some people who are far away have settled their wages early, let them rush back for the New Year, the distance is close, then do it for a few more days, in this way, it is reasonable to drag it out until March." ”

Spring festival? Shangyuan Festival?

After Liu Yuanyi mentioned, Li Er remembered that it was already a cold winter, and the New Year was getting closer and closer, and there were too many facts happening this year, so that he was busy every day, and unconsciously, the New Year's bell was getting closer and closer, and he walked to the window and gently pushed the closed window, and as soon as the window was pushed open, a cold wind hit him, which made Li Er shiver at the same time, the whole person was also shocked, and felt that the whole person was more energetic. It looks peaceful and peaceful.

While the two were chatting, a light snow fell in the sky.

Li Er sighed: "In such weather, it is not easy for the soldiers guarding the border passes, the migrant workers who build the roads, and the craftsmen who built the Daming Palace, and they work in the weather here. ”

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly said: "The emperor cares about the people, this is the luck of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the people, in fact, if you think about it, the division of labor is different, and the work is also different, this is the weather, the emperor also works, works for the state, and is also working, as long as the emperor serves them well, it is no matter how hard and tired it is, I think they are still grateful in their hearts." ”

It fluttered in the light snow, in the eyes of the literati, this is an elegant thing, maybe immediately invite three or five confidants, find a place where plum blossoms bloom, scald a pot of good wine, fry a few side dishes, and start to chant the wind and the moon, but Li Er is different, as soon as he sees the snow, he thinks of the soldiers at the border and the migrant workers at the construction site.

Of course, if it weren't for this, Liu Yuan would not have worked hard for him, and let him be "bullied" several times.

"Well, yes, Liu Yuan, you're right, by the way, when are you going to finish your golden house?" Li Er asked suddenly.

"Before the Chinese New Year, it can be regarded as adding another scene to Chang'an"

"So fast?"

Liu Yuan explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a house, not a palace, not a mansion, it is not difficult to arrange, now the jewelers under Weichen are doing their best to build, before the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be completed, and I want to invite the emperor and the queen to visit." ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan continued to add: "This is also the emperor's property, and Weichen is only temporarily kept for twenty years. ”

"Sounds interesting, well, I'll have to take a good look at what your golden house is so famous about." Li Er readily agreed.

Li Er didn't want to get involved, but listening to what Liu Yuan said was moving, the golden house was said by him, and his mind was to blame, Liu Yuan was right, after all, it was his own industry.

There was another gold lacquer signboard, Liu Yuan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After chatting casually for a while, Li Er smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "Liu Yuan, you fought bravely in Mianshan Temple, captured the Tubo Great Treatise Lu Dongzan, and your merits outweighed your faults, and now you are anxious about the national treasury, not only generously, but also raised a huge amount of money, and I want to reward you heavily." ”

Liu Yuan's mind moved, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, can the reward be changed?" ”

"Oh, what do you want?"

"Lu Dongzan" Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for this person, we wouldn't have suffered heavy casualties, my personal guard blood knife, now the bones are still cold, please allow the emperor." ”

Li Er only hesitated slightly, and quickly nodded and said: "Reward is reward, Lu Dong praises this person, I have promised before, how can I break my trust with you, okay, I will make an order later, you can go to the heavenly prison at any time tomorrow to raise people." ”

"Your Majesty." Liu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said gratefully.

This time, it was sincere. (To be continued......)
