"Boss, why are you here?" After being reminded by his subordinates, Gong Sheng realized that he was standing by his side, looked at him with interest, and immediately pushed the work at hand to his subordinates, and walked in front of Liu Yuan to salute.

This donation, there are officials from the household department to assist, Chang'an Bao is only responsible for registering and making records, and the people of the household department will receive the silver on the spot, count and seal, and then fill it into the treasury, there will be no mistake, seeing Liu Yuan coming, Gong Sheng can no longer care about earning "image points", put down the work in his hand and listen to the instructions of the "rice class owner".

For Liu Yuan, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart, and he is willing to work for Liu Yuan, without Liu Yuan's kindness, let alone being able to hug the beauty, just don't starve to death or drown in the mouth of relatives and friends, thank God.

"No need to be polite, you also know that Liu doesn't like this set" Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "This event is well done, you can do so many things alone, you have worked hard." ”

Gong Sheng hurriedly said: "It's not hard, the owner, this is a good thing for the country, even if you are tired and hard, it is worth it, it's just"

"Just what?" Liu Yuan asked.

"More than 100,000 taels, donate it all at once, it's not worth it, it's better to keep half of it." Gong Sheng said with some heartache.

For a person who once only took a dozen taels of silver a month in Qingshui Yamen, more than 100,000 taels, it would take several lifetimes without eating or drinking to save enough, Liu Yuan donated all the money in a word, and when he thought of those white flowers, Gong Sheng felt a little sorry for Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Chang'an Daily is operating well, and the income is stable, since it is a donation, then simply donate it all, so as not to provoke the villain." It is said that we Chang'an reported that we have collected money in the name of donations, although more than 100,000 taels is a lot, but we have not gained nothing, we have obtained a lot of first-hand information, expanded our influence, and also improved the relationship with the government, and it is much more convenient to do anything in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, or the owner is thoughtful, Gong is a mouse-eyed. It's all up to the tip of the horns.

Liu Yuan thought for a while, then said with a smile: "When I was engaged in this beauty pageant, I was not in Chang'an, and you did it all by yourself, and the effect was good." You have also worked hard, but Liu has been doing too much recently. I didn't celebrate with you heroes. In this way, you go and book a few seats, have a good meal with your brothers, and the silver newspaper will be reimbursed in full, and in addition, the red envelopes will not be missing. If the merit is great, it will be sealed ten taels or twenty taels, and the general one will be sealed five taels, and you can just look at it. Be sure to see it. After a pause, Liu Yuan patted Gong Sheng's shoulder and said, "Your credit is the greatest, just a little bit, forget about a small red envelope of three hundred taels." ”

The matter of donating silver, Liu Yuan decided by himself, like Li Lizhi also agreed with both hands afterwards, this is her family matter, as a princess, it is naturally Tang Dynasty, she is good, and she is also a filial daughter, the silver is donated, there is nothing to say, but Gong Sheng is different, Liu Yuan gave him a month of silver, how many taels a month, and then at the end of the year, look at the profit and give him a bonus, which is considered a reward, after a few months of hard work, the results will be donated all of a sudden, which will inevitably affect his dividends, A little unhappy in his heart, Liu Yuan thought of this and immediately made a decision to reward.

There are rewards and punishments, rewards and punishments are clear, so as to improve their enthusiasm, after a few months of hard work, how can I express it, if there is no reward, not only Gong Sheng can't think about it, it is estimated that those subordinates will also have opinions, Liu Yuan has this awareness, but it does not mean that everyone has Liu Yuan's consciousness.

"This, this is too much, the small one can't stand it, otherwise, the small one will be twenty taels." Gong Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but the three hundred taels were too much, and he was embarrassed to accept them.

"Let you take it, don't talk about this, you also know my character" Liu Yuan said categorically: "It's decided, everyone will do a good job, I, Liu, will not treat everyone badly." ”

Gong Sheng patted his chest and said: "Yes, yes, don't worry, we will work hard and do a good job in Chang'an." ”

Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and told them to work hard, and then turned around and went to the Moyun printing factory next to him.

Some days did not come, smelling the familiar fragrance of ink, Liu Yuan suddenly had a feeling of relaxation and joy, thinking that back then, he did not work hard in this regard, with advanced technology, excellent technicians, now Moyun can be said to be a hegemon in the Datang printing industry, its hegemony, no one can shake, is there is a technical support to understand Moyun, Chang'an newspaper can have such a fast circulation speed and circulation, without Moyun, there is no glory of Chang'an Daily.

Seeing that Chang'an Daily is so popular, some people want to follow suit, but just tried once, and took the initiative to retreat, very simple, a woodcut engraving, to say the least it will take ten days and half a month, the cost is large, the efficiency is low, because it can not be modified, there are many errors and omissions, it takes more than ten days in one issue, and it can't be played at all.

A lot of things are interlinked.

In the printing room, Liu Yuan saw the first old courtiers to follow him: the loyal old man Zheng, the old master with exquisite skills and striving for perfection, it is these two people who support the operation of the Moyun Printing Factory and the Moyun Study.

I haven't seen each other for so long, the three of them are a little excited, the old man Zheng has aged very quickly in the past two years, his hair has turned a lot gray, he walks and talks, and he has lost the charm of the year, it is really unforgiving, on the contrary, the old master is still in the prime of life, and he is well maintained, not to mention that he can work for another twenty or thirty years.

When they met for the first time, Liu Yuan was still a humble little shopkeeper, but he didn't expect that he was now a four-grade high-ranking official, when the two saw Liu Yuan, they were greeting and greeting, and the etiquette was full, and there was more restraint between each other, Liu Yuan laughed with them for a long time, and the atmosphere got better, Liu Yuan also gave them a brief description of the interesting things that happened during the trip to Tubo, and the old man Zheng cautiously made a request during the banquet, saying that he was old and was about to move away, hoping that Liu Yuan could agree to his son coming in, learn from him, and take over his class Yunyun in the future, This is a good thing, there is inheritance to develop, the Zheng family's kid Liu Yuan has also seen it, an honest and down-to-earth person, Liu Yuan agreed to Old Man Zheng's request on the spot, so happy that Old Man Zheng almost knelt down.

Relying on Liu Yuan's big tree, he will have no worries about food and clothing all his life.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yuan got up and said goodbye, and went to the private research institute behind to prepare to see the preparation of gunpowder, and the research institute was located behind the Moyun printing factory.

"Stand still, what are you doing?" Before Liu Yuan entered the backyard, several forbidden soldiers standing in front of the door pointed at Liu Yuan with knives as if they were facing a great enemy, and they had the intention of killing him if he stepped forward again.

Just when Liu Yuan was surprised, a person who looked like a team rushed out when he heard the words, and when he saw that it was Liu Yuan coming, he immediately shouted: "What are you doing, this is General Liu, blind?" Quick, put the knife away, and look for a draw. After speaking, he hurriedly apologized to Liu Yuan and said: "General Liu, these few were transferred from the border just now, and they were just on duty today, and I haven't seen the general, if there is something offensive, please bear with me, and then draw them when I turn around." ”

Liu Yuan waved his hand generously and said: "Forget it, they are also loyal to their duties, those who don't know are not guilty, don't embarrass them." ”

Like an important target, more will send troops to guard, but they are afraid that they will make unfavorable actions after they are familiar with the environment, as the so-called day and night defense, the house thief is difficult to prevent, even their own people, but also to guard, every once in a while, will be transferred, replaced by another group of people to continue, just like a place of important officials, garrison generals, etc., have a term of office, the deadline will be transferred, in fact, they are also afraid that they will develop their own strength for a long time, when the time comes, they do not listen, do not hear, make a country within a country is not good.

"Yes, there are a lot of generals, and the small ones are thanked here."

Liu Yuan nodded, carried the wild wolf and the blood knife, and walked straight in.

This defense is getting tighter and tighter, and it can be seen that Li Er is paying more and more attention to this, and there are only more than 40 people in his research institute plus the guards, and the forbidden army guarding here, to say the least, there are two teams, a team of 50 people, that is, more than 100 people are guarding here.

It's also a good thing, at the very least, these top-notch bodyguards are free.

'Rustle'

"Squeak"

Liu Yuan has not yet entered the backyard, he smelled a big smell of sulfur, went in to see, only to see that everyone was concentrating on work, some people were crushing saltpeter, some people were filtering sulfuric acid, some people were cutting charcoal, a busy scene, that was Liu Yuan's order, everyone stopped doing other things, and made gunpowder with all their might, and now they are all working hard, Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction when he saw it.

"The little one doesn't know that the master is coming, and he will miss the distance" Tang Jin was originally dispensing gunpowder, but when he saw Liu Yuan coming, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and stepped forward to listen to the instructions.

"It's going to be used the day after tomorrow, how are you preparing now?" Liu Yuan was not polite and asked directly.

Tang Jin said respectfully: "If you go back to the master, most of it has been completed, as long as you hold on tightly, don't sleep tonight, work overtime, and you will definitely be able to complete the task tomorrow night." ”

"At night?" Liu Yuan was excited, and hurriedly said: "This is not appropriate, it is dangerous to dispense gunpowder at night, so change it to daytime." ”

In these days, the lighting is either a lantern or a candle, it is an open flame, and when you are not careful, you will blow up this place at once, and the fun will be great.

Tang Jin hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, the villain separates them, each person is only responsible for one material, divided into different areas, as long as the raw materials are processed and then matched after dawn, so that there will be no one." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Liu Yuan nodded, it seems that he is too worried, these people are still quite smart, otherwise, they are not working in the research institute, but going back to their hometown to farm.

"Where's the gunpowder? Take me to see it. Liu Yuan was still a little uneasy, and he had to see Fang Xing in person.

"It's locked in the back room, master, here, please." Tang Jin didn't say a word, and immediately took Liu Yuan to check. (To be continued......)
