Cui Shang paced in the hall with his hands behind his back for a while, then gently patted Liu Yuan's shoulder twice, and said kindly: "Well, yes, yes, your three strategies, in fact, can be called the best policy, you have no problem with the implementation of the city fee, one person and one penny, anyone can afford it, and it will not cause any disputes, and it is a bit difficult to operate the two things of reputation and businessmen accompanying the army." ”

"If you give your name, it is estimated that the old stubborn people in the Ministry of Rites have to come out and jump out, but the most stinky Zhou Shishi is so angry that you are bedridden, and the remaining few old things are not prestigious, and it is estimated that there is no problem, as for the merchant with the army, it sounds a little difficult, and it is not easy to operate, one is that Tufan Mountain is far away, and there are not many people who are willing to go, and secondly, the whereabouts of the army and the confidentiality must also be paid attention to, and it is also a problem in terms of security, it is estimated that only a few families can form a caravan, and this matter must be carefully referenced."

"Okay" Cui Shang smiled generously and said: "Xiaoyuan, if my Cui family sends a caravan to go, you will be counted."

Talent, his hair is gray and has a lot of unsolved problems, Liu Yuan said a few words, this matter has eyebrows, Cui Shang looked at Liu Yuan for the first time in his heart, this indescribable lucky kid in his eyes, in fact, he still has his merits.

There is a faint heart of love in my heart.

Being able to do business with Cui's is definitely a business with no profits, and with money to send to the door, Liu Yuan naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Lord Shiro." Liu Yuan hurriedly thanked him.

Cui Shang frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Although many people in our Cui family have incomprehension about this marriage, but my Qinghe Cui family is a famous family, and it is by no means a person who forgets his righteousness and goes back on his word. Why do you still call me to be Lord Squire, it's too raw, is it possible, you still look down on my Mengyao? ”

"No, no, it's just uncle" Liu Yuanzhi said that it was useless, and he simply called uncle.

"Well, isn't that enough?" Cui Shang touched his beard and said with a smile: "I know everything about you, Qinghe's banquet has been changed to an engagement banquet." When it comes to the marriage of the two of you, we will choose another good day and an auspicious day, and then we will have a lively celebration. ”

"It's all up to the elders."

"You eat slowly, I'm going to the study to plan." With such a good idea, every idea. It is a great credit to be able to collect a large amount of money for the treasury. Cui Shang was a little excited in his heart.

My immediate boss was sick and took a few years off. The last time I went to visit him, I was so confused that I couldn't recognize anyone, and I was about to go to the coffin with ginseng soup, and now I have to do a great credit, so that Li Er has nothing to say. Straighten yourself up.

A scholar and a waiter, although the household department is now in his own hands, but the official quality is one product behind, not to mention anything else. As the big boss of Qinghe Cui's family, he is even one rank behind his third brother, and he usually feels a little incorrect and angry.

As long as Liu Yuan's upper, middle and lower strategies are done well, the dilemma of the treasury can be solved in one fell swoop, and Li Er can't suppress himself even if he wants to.

"Congratulations to my uncle."

"That's right" Before going out, Cui Shang turned his head and said to Liu Yuan: "I also know about the emperor's reward for you, you just need to talk to me about the denaturalization, I am the household servant, in charge of the household registration in the world, these are just a gesture, it's just a matter of time, but since you have made a choice, I can't say anything, I just hope that if there is anything in the future, think about my family Mengyao first." ”

Getting rid of a slave is simply a no-brainer for Cui Shang, who is in charge of household registration, Liu Yuan doesn't need to put such a good condition, but uses a "wish" to get rid of a prostitute, Cui Jing almost vomited blood when he heard this, this promise, how good it is for Li Er to turn himself right, otherwise there is a light on his face to find a wife for Cui Mengyao, but he just wants a prostitute to get out of slavery.

However, there are good and bad, Li Er praised Cui Shang Yitong very happily, saying that Cui's teaching is well-taught, not greedy or greedy, the official behavior is upright, and he is the clear stream of officialdom, which makes Cui Shang feel a little better, and he is holding it in his heart at this time, and now he still says it.

"Yes, remember my uncle's teachings." Liu Yuan's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly thanked him.

is afraid that the people of the Cui family will be entangled, and now Cui Shang's attitude is at least to no longer pursue this matter.

Okay, if you get any credit in the future, you have to give Cui Mengyao some benefits, and let her see her own means, to be honest, after knowing the misunderstanding of the marriage, Cui Mengyao did not dislike that she was a white body, and resolutely decided to follow herself, especially when she left, the affection in her eyes, Liu Yuan couldn't forget it.

Thinking of Cui Mengyao, Liu Yuan suddenly worried about the little lady and Du Sanniang who were far away in Yangzhou, he had been gone for so long, and he didn't know how the two of them were doing, by the way, the Jinyu family and Moyun Study didn't know how the business was going, there was no problem, the most depressing This is in the Tang Dynasty, not the later generations, if it is in the later generations, even if you don't call, you can also video chat or something, now it's different, it's all carriages, from Yangzhou to here, it takes more than half a month, and it takes more than a month to come and go.

That's right, write a letter.

Liu Yuan was excited in his heart, almost forgot, why didn't he write a letter, although there was no telephone, but at this time there was a post post (also called Feilai Station) that used to transmit letters, that is, you can't meet, you can also write letters, from Yangzhou to Qinghe, and from Qinghe to Yangzhou, Xiao Niang and Du Sanniang have not had any news of themselves for more than a month, and there is no news, it is estimated that they must be very worried, especially Xiao Niang, she must regard herself as the closest person, with her personality, sure, she must be worried that she can't eat and sleep well.

I don't know what I've lost now.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yuan felt a sense of heartache, he couldn't eat, so he turned his head and rushed to the small courtyard where he lived.

"Little warbler, grinding ink, I want to write a letter."

This was the first thing Liu Yuan said to his maidservant Xiaoying after returning to his residence

"When" "When" "When"

Every day at three o'clock on the fifth watch (two o'clock on the fifth watch in summer), the official in charge of watching the time will be very conscientious to ring the sound of opening the door, and the bell of this ringing also wakes up Chang'an, a large-scale city, to welcome its vigorous and glorious day, the residents living in Chang'an. I'm used to listening to the bells.

"Ahh

Liu Yuan yawned, and before he opened his eyes, he kicked the quilt away and sat up with a bone, which was a trick in his previous life, to prevent himself from being afraid of the cold, tired of being in the warm and comfortable quilt and refusing to come out.

It's cold. Liu Yuan shuddered, the location of this capital belongs to the north, the winter is relatively fast, and the temperature is lower than Yangzhou, so he should have slept a little longer. I don't want to get up, but the bell goes up and down. Liu Yuan couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. When I thought that I came to Chang'an, I still had a lot of things to do, and I couldn't sleep anymore.

"Third aunt. You're awake, it's cold outside, put on a piece of clothing first. As soon as Liu Yuan got up, Xiao Ying, who was serving him on the side, immediately noticed it. immediately took a coat and put it on for Liu Yuan.

"Okay" Liu Yuan tightened his clothes, sat down and squinted a little, and then under Xiao Ying's service, he changed his clothes, washed them again, and enjoyed his breakfast on the desk in the room.

"Xiaoying, my uncle, no, what about the eldest master?" Liu Yuan ate while eating.

Xiao Ying replied respectfully: "If you go back to the third aunt, the master will go to bed together, and it is useless to even go early, so I went to the court." ”

This old boy must have written a book on how to fill the treasury, and hurriedly invited credit.

"Let me ask you, is there a housekeeper named Lao Niu in the house?"

"Third aunt, are you asking about the second butler Niu here, is he here, do you want to call him now?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I just have something to look for him." ”

When Xiao Ying heard this, she immediately went to find someone according to Liu Yuan's instructions, and in less than a quarter of an hour, an old man who was dressed very decently, but who didn't look a little amazing, walked in.

"Old slave Niu Dashan, meet my uncle." The housekeeper, nicknamed Lao Niu, immediately saluted when he saw Liu Yuan.

He is different from others, he is a private slave belonging to Cui Jing, Cui Jing is his master, and Liu Yuan is Cui Jing's son-in-law, because there is only one woman, he is not called the third aunt, but directly called the uncle.

Liu Yuan took out a letter with a personal seal from his arms and handed it to Niu.

After reading the letter, Lao Niu said respectfully: "Third aunt, the master made it clear in the letter, you can withdraw 6,000 to 10,000 silver at a time, I don't know how much the third aunt will take?" ”

What Liu Yuan showed him was a note signed by Cui Jing and stamped with a seal, which was destined to be written in black and white, if Liu Yuan was in need, it could be no more than 10,000 taels of silver, this was when Liu Yuan went to the capital, it was inconvenient to take those boxes of gold and silver, Cui Jing helped him accept it, and asked him to go to the capital to find his house slave to replace, this guy he called Lao Niu is to take care of his business and property in the capital for him, including the grange with about 10,000 taels a year.

"Let's take six thousand taels first." Liu Yuan didn't want to take advantage of his future father-in-law, as much as he could, he had to go back.

"Yes, uncle." Niu Er's housekeeper didn't ask the reason, Liu Yuan asked for six thousand taels at once, and he immediately responded, and soon, he asked again: "Uncle, do you want yellow or white?" ”

Yellow, refers to gold, and white, is silver, Niu Erguan's family means to ask Liu Yuan, the six thousand taels, is to gold and silver.

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said lightly: "I want two thousand taels of silver, and the rest will be exchanged for yellow." ”

"Yes, uncle, but this money is a little big, and it won't be able to be raised and delivered tomorrow." Niu Er's housekeeper thought for a moment and quickly responded.

It is estimated that Cui Jing's old boy has a lot of industry, and he took out six thousand taels of silver at once, and took some measures, but it doesn't matter, Liu Yuan is not going to use it right now.

"Okay, no problem, you can just send it here then."

Liu Yuanzheng was talking to Niu Er's housekeeper, and a maidservant girl hurriedly walked in, and when she saw Liu Yuan, she immediately saluted and said, "Third aunt, there is a Huang Gonggong from the palace who wants to see you." ”

"Oh, where is he?"

"Side hall."

It is estimated that Li Er promised himself that the things were delivered, and the title deeds of the military positions and shops in the West Market were just about to raise silver for decoration, but I didn't expect the things to be sent immediately, this Li Er is really efficient.

"Tell him I'll go right away." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he threw the remaining small half of the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth at once. (To be continued.) )
