Liu Yuanleng paused, is this a solicitation for himself?

The three armies are easy to obtain, a general is difficult to find, this is the ancients' pursuit of good generals, in the perspective of talents, the same is also feasible, that is, in later generations, a great man also said that "science and technology is the primary productive force", and the development and use of science and technology, inseparable from talents, it can be seen that no matter ancient and modern, everyone is equally thirsty for talents.

Qinghe Cui's opened a successful "Qingyun Gate" for Liu Yuan, watching himself grow step by step, when Liu Yuan did not have these achievements, Cui Jing hinted that Liu Yuan took refuge in Qinghe Cui's family, that is, to join the family, but at that time, to this day, Cui Jing spoke again, of course, this time it was not that he felt sorry for his daughter and wanted his daughter to stay by his side, but he really wanted to recruit himself and was attracted by his talents.

I don't know if this is from his original intention, or from the intention of the patriarch Cui Shang.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and could only say vaguely: "Yes, the son-in-law will think about it." ”

This kind of thing, to say it well, is to carry the clan, and it is more in the name of disloyalty and injustice, but if it is not good, I am afraid that Cui Jing's heart will be cold, so I can only think about it slowly.

Cui Jing seemed to have known that Liu Yuan would say this answer, and he was not angry when he heard this, but just nodded lightly.

"Father-in-law, if the process goes according to this, how long will it take to complete the construction of this highway?" Liu Yuan looked at the migrant workers on the construction site, and suddenly asked with feeling.

"It's not easy to guess about this matter" Cui Jing said very professionally: "The quality of the road conditions, the change of weather, the number of manpower, the logistics of transportation, etc., can affect his process, so it is difficult to judge when it can be repaired, if you are really interested in knowing the road, according to the old man's experience." There are still people to keep up with this progress, and it can be achieved in three to four years. ”

Liu Yuan said in surprise: "The people plus the prisoners, to say the least, there are 20,000 people, why does it take so long?" ”

Build prosperity as soon as possible, earn money as soon as possible, and now say that it will take a few years, which is too long.

"It's easier said than done, and the old man was also very confident at the beginning, but this time, in order to abandon the song and straighten it, he opened the way in the mountains. The amount of work is huge, and the number of people is a lot, but once it is spread out on the entire highway, there are not many people" Cui Jing stroked his beard and said with a confident smile: "That is, the old man has experience." Everything is one step faster, if it is someone else. Not to mention more than five years. That's impossible. ”

In fact, for such a large project, people come and go every day, and there are many things to deal with well, and if one step is messy, it may affect everyone. Cui Jing has served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and has accumulated rich experience in the overall planning of Changluo Expressway. Liu Yuan admires this very much.

Hearing Cui Jing talking about his scenery history, he had to listen to him, so he said with admiration: "Fortunately, there is a father-in-law, otherwise this highway will be difficult to implement." ”

Cui Jing nodded and said, "Well, this matter is not in a hurry, and it takes a lot of time to invest millions of silver, even if it is counted." After speaking, he seemed to say to himself: "It's just that those mountains are too troublesome, and they have to split the mountains at every turn, otherwise, they won't progress so slowly, if the old man has the whip of the first emperor, it would be great." ”

The first emperor is the unification of the six countries of the Qin king, after the world, ordered to build the Great Wall, let a "dragon" fly between the mountains and mountains, some of the built stones, one weighs several tons, this is not at that time is not human can do, so there is a folk legend, the main Qin Shi Huang has a "mountain whip" in his hand, can drive the stone to drive the mountain, with a whip, those stones and peaks, will go to the position they want, very magical.

Of course, this is just a word, and Cui Jing is also suffering from a headache that the construction cycle is too long, so he feels it.

Liu Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he said to Cui Jing with a smile: "Actually, my father-in-law also has a mountain whip. ”

"Oh, Xiaoyuan, that's just a legend, how can there be such divine power in the world? You dare to make fun of the old man now. Cui Jinghao said angrily.

"Really" Liu Yuan patted his chest and said, "Father-in-law, this matter is on me." ”

Cui Jing said in surprise: "Oh, you say it quickly, why don't you come to catch the mountain whip." ”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, gunpowder"

"Gunpowder?"

"It's gunpowder" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "This gunpowder can be exploded even if it is a hard stone, not to mention these mountains, in the future, when you encounter a place that needs to split a mountain or dig up on a large scale, you can use gunpowder to do it, not to mention anything else, it is good to blow it up, so that the efficiency can be greatly improved." ”

Cui Jing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, yes, why didn't the old man think of this method?" is still a virtuous son-in-law who is shrewd, so that a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved. But after being happy, there was a sense of loss in his eyes, and he said helplessly: "The current gunpowder is all in the hands of the emperor, and without his consent, others can't touch it, but I'm afraid it's rare."

Liu Yuan has experience in all of these, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Don't be afraid, just explain to the emperor, this gunpowder is a new thing, and you still need to test it well, and the emperor will definitely reply." ”

"That's great, if there is gunpowder, this project can be completed at least a year earlier." Cui Jing said confidently.

Weng and his son-in-law chatted for a while, and then waved goodbye: Liu Yuan returned to Liu's mansion, and Cui Jing had to go back to the Ministry of Industry to deal with some affairs.

Although Cui Jing is gone, but he left Liu Yuan with a lot of thoughts, especially his solicitation, in the carriage, Liu Yuan fell into contemplation, after careful consideration, Liu Yuan decided to maintain the status quo: as soon as he joined the Qinghe Cui family, the family was in a big trend, but there were many rules and less freedom, that is, Liu Yuan was not in line, after thinking for a while, Liu Yuan still decided not to do it: it's good now, to be Qinghe Cui Si's son-in-law, there is not much righteousness and power, and with Cui Jing's kid to take care of it, it is naturally a good mix.

However, how to refuse politely, it is best not to hurt each other's feelings, how to say, this is a science.

"Liu Yuan"

"Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan." The wild wolf outside the carriage suddenly barked.

Liu Yuan immediately lifted the curtain and asked curiously, "Brother Wild Wolf, what's the matter?" ”

The wolf lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, we're being followed." ”

"Stalked?" Liu Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who is following us?" ”

"I don't know what to say," said the wolf, shaking his head, "these people are very clever, and have been following us very well, and are very well hidden, but I can smell that they are not very friendly to Lu's decision." ”

As a "wilderness survival expert", the wild wolf is very familiar with the surrounding environment, and he immediately notices that there is something wrong with the atmosphere.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and quickly said with relief: "Brother Wild Wolf, don't worry, I think, it may be your own person." ”

"Your own people?" The wolf was surprised and said, "No, why are they following you?" ”

"It should be the emperor's secret agent" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "You are not ignorant, the emperor has a secret agent in his hands, specializing in monitoring some important officials, I have been more concerned recently, and the emperor's special care is not necessarily, don't pay attention to it, this is the suburbs of Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, under the emperor's nose, not afraid." ”

Every emperor has his own report system, to avoid being blinded by officials, and he doesn't know what to do if he is deceived, people like Liu Yuan who are related to the fortune of the country naturally dare not slack off, just imagine, the institute has sent 200 people to garrison to protect Liu Yuan?

Liu Yuan was a little unaccustomed to being followed at first, but later, it was natural to get used to it.

"But it's a little far"

"Relax, don't be nervous" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Let's go, by the way, Brother Blood Knife, you have to go to Yangzhou in a few days, you have to talk to your family." ”

"Good!" The blood knife is still so simple and direct, so simple, it's like splitting the enemy in half with a Mo knife, so that you don't have to give him a mending knife.

Liu Yuan didn't notice that when the blood knife answered, while answering, the hand unconsciously clenched the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist. (To be continued......)
