More than 900,000 taels were raised at once, and if you add more than 200,000 taels at the auction, then the amount of money and silver raised has reached more than 1.2 million taels.

God, more than a million taels, just like that, no wonder in the largest treasury in the house, gold and silver are piled up, and it makes people feel shocked to see it, and the yellow and clear gold, white flowers and silver, it makes people feel an inexplicable excitement when they see it.

The little lady patted her chest and said happily: "Great, senior brother, in this way, the money for building the road will be available, and we don't have to worry about it, and we don't have to sell it." ”

"I remember that Xianggong said that my father estimated that it would cost about one million taels of silver to build the road this time, but he still had to plant flowers and plants on the roadside, is this silver enough?" Cui Mengyao was still a little uneasy, and asked inquiringly.

Liu Yuan and Li Er made a military order, in addition to paving the cement road, but also to complete the greening, just paving the road will cost one million taels of silver, and how much greening is needed, it is still an unknown number, everything has not yet been implemented, Cui Jing is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Mengyao is under the influence of the ears and eyes, and also knows a lot.

"Don't worry" Liu Yuan explained: "The greening on the side of the road, that is, to plant some ordinary species, does not need to plant precious plants such as exotic flowers and plants, and these exotic flowers and plants are not easy to feed, and need special care and care, there is no need for this, the father-in-law estimates that it is one million taels, that is the market, the wages of ordinary people, but this time it is needed by the imperial court, we can use the way of conscription and labor and the Ministry of Industry, so that there is no need to hire migrant workers, and you can save a lot of wages here, cement discounts, The principle of sand and gravel is transferred nearby, a little less here, some savings there, and it is estimated that one million taels of silver is enough. ”

Du Sanniang was a little unconvinced: "Is this okay?" One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an. So many streets and alleys, a million taels, including planting flowers and plants, is it possible? ”

"No, the main roads and streets can be paved, the alleys and alleys are not covered, and the rest, let them pool the money and pave it themselves, now the treasury is empty, and turnover is difficult. There is no need for them to raise taxes and apportionments, they are already snickering, and they can't ask too much. After speaking, Liu Yuan said to himself: "Everything is in order, then how will our cement be sold." ”

"Senior brother. With that, we now have enough money to raise. It's not enough. There is still a surplus, so wouldn't it be necessary to work so hard to raise it again? ”

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, we have to work harder to make money, and I still have a plan that has not yet been completed." ”

"Xianggong, the silver is enough. That's fine, as the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, even if it is fundraising. But it is also a work of begging for people, and now the money and silver raised are registered even if they are a penny, even if they raise a lot, they are not their own, so why do this thankless thing. ”

After Cui Mengyao finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, and continued: "You made that merit tablet this time, but you offended a lot of people, although you did it skillfully, but they were not very happy in their hearts after all, they felt like they were being coerced by you, it was my father and uncle, who had a lot of complaints about what you did, and if you continue like this, I am afraid that it will cause more people to be dissatisfied, so I will accept it when I see it." ”

An ordinary shop, can earn three or five hundred taels all year round, already to kill chickens to pay God, a large grange, in a good year when the wind and rain are smooth, only 10,000 taels a year, Moyun study can be described as a single business, business all over the Tang Dynasty, but take the idea of small profits and quick turnover, a year is only three or five thousand taels of silver, like the gold and jade family is lucky to earn 10,000 taels a month, that can only be regarded as an outlier, can not be used as a general image of the lobby, just like Cheng Lao Demon King said, whose silver is not blown by the wind, I must be unhappy to take out so many of those dignitaries and nobles at once, but because of Liu Yuan's identity and background, I will hide it and hide it.

To summarize simply, it is under the banner of Li Er, and then posting his own favors to raise funds.

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said: "No, I did it this time, and the wicked man did it if he didn't do it, just do it to the end, and raise more of it, and if the emperor asks me to do this in the future, I will resolutely not do it." ”

"Xianggong, what else are you going to do?"

"Simple, the auction continues, and then let Gong Sheng make some moves, one to expand the influence of Chang'an Daily, such a big thing, it's not good not to participate, and then it's to get an instant lottery ticket sale, and the proceeds are used to repair roads." Liu Yuan said confidently: "My goal is to raise more than 1.6 million taels, which is enough for my plan." ”

One million is enough to choke, but I didn't expect Liu Yuan to take the initiative to raise the target to 1.6 million taels.

Cui Mengyao and the others looked at each other, and only said one sentence after the last: "You can really toss." ”

The prosperity and grandeur of Chang'an City, from the Zhuque Street can be reflected, every day is people come and go, the traffic is busy, these days, the Zhuque Street is even more overcrowded, the road that is more than 40 zhang wide, but also need to send out the military and infantry Yamen people to maintain order, very simple, a unique charity auction is being held here.

This auction can be said to be Liu Yuan's initiative in the Tang Dynasty, the auction of a variety of things, the emperor's ink inkstone, the queen's hand wearing the jade bracelet, the champion used in high school, the monk donated the magic weapon, the major generals donated the armor, the bow, the literati donated the jade pendant, utensils, calligraphy and painting, etc., can be described as everything, including many rare treasures, very attractive, first the people of Chang'an to bid, to the next two or three days, many people heard Xun from Luozhou, Shangzhou, Puzhou, Fengzhou and other places hurried to join the ranks of the competition, and directly pushed the price up, although there were many unhappy hearts, but Liu Yuan felt very happy.

Every time he bids, every time he modifies the price, Liu Yuan seems to see the silver with white flowers flying into his pocket, not to mention how happy he is, although the silver is not his own, but Liu Yuan enjoys the process.

It's a sign of your own abilities.

Today is the last day of the auction, to the three minutes of the Shen hour, the whole auction will be declared over, the three minutes of the Shen hour arrives, who has the highest price on the price board, then after paying the money, you can take away the things in the auction, as for someone who falsely reported the price, it doesn't matter, then according to the registration information, directly lock people to copy the house, and do not look at what occasion and place this is, that is authorized and supported by the emperor.

"There are so many people, I feel that it is even more lively than the Shangyuan Festival." Cui Mengyao said with some sighs.

Today is the last day, the silver should be sent to the door, and it is almost delivered, Liu Yuan is busy, and a group of female dependents come to watch the excitement, and by the way, they also suppress the field, prevent someone from making trouble, and see how crazy the auction is, and the most important thing is to take a picture of the jade bracelet worn by the eldest grandson queen and give it to the little lady, which is an additional reward for her.

Du Sanniang has a holy decree to get rid of slavery, Cui Mengyao is happy to be the wife of the decree, and he is for Hu Xin, the second into Tubo, born and died, although Yuan Fugui has contributed a lot, but Liu Yuanjue was not enough yesterday, it was just a gesture, and compared with Xiaoniang's contribution to herself, it is insignificant.

"Yes, it's very lively, and it would be even more wonderful if there were more colored lights." Du Sanniang couldn't help but echo.

The little lady said faintly: "Senior brother hasn't accompanied us for a long time to enjoy the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival. ”

"Second sister, you can't say that" Cui Mengyao said seriously: "Xianggong is a general, military affairs are the priority, state affairs are the first, a good man is ambitious in all directions, how can he be immersed in the wind and snow, when we are laughing, Xianggong is still fighting with his life outside, but he can't be so coquettish." ”

Cui Mengyao's education is to be a good wife and mother who is silently supported by her husband, and supports her husband to make contributions, which is different from a little lady who is rich and safe.

"Yes, Sister Meng Yao is right, Xiao Niang won't dare to complain in the future." Cui Mengyao, who has always been right to Xiaoniang, has an inexplicable sense of respect, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Liu Yuan hurriedly made a peacemaker and said: "Okay, don't quarrel anymore, to be honest, who doesn't want to enjoy the lanterns and moons and drink and have fun with their families during the Yuan Festival, it's just that you can't help yourself, both of you have a point." ”

Cui Mengyao dragged the little lady and said: "Who said that our sisters quarreled, that is to say, chatting about ourselves, not as unbearable as you said." ”

"Yes, my Sister Meng Yao is not missing, Sister Meng Yao is just teaching Xiao Niang, Senior Brother, you think too much."

It's really worthy of everyone's beauty, one advance and one retreat, free to retract and release, but the little lady's temperament is really good, pure as a blank piece of paper, no scheming, as far as women are concerned, they may not be able to become confidants, but no one regards him as an enemy.

The group walked forward with laughter and laughter, and along the way, the sound of bidding continued in their ears, and they came to the place where the crowd was the densest and the loudest bidding and selling: the auction place of Li Er and Empress Changsun, three circles inside and three circles outside, surrounded by airtightness, and the sound of bidding was endless:

"This imperial inkstone, thirteen thousand eight hundred taels."

"I'll give you fourteen thousand two hundred taels."

"The queen's jade bracelet is written on me, 12,000 taels."

It seems that those are not silver, but copper coins, and the ink inkstone and jade bracelet seem to be stained with some internal qi, and they are eager to it one by one, that kind of madness, they are a little afraid when they see Liu Yuan, and Cui Mengyao and a few of them also see it with relish.

This is simply a money grab, but it's no wonder, although Li Er and the eldest grandson queen have no less rewards, but they are all rewarding new things, and rarely give their own used things to others, and on the inkstone and jade bracelet in this auction, Liu Yuan marked one when Li Er used it to correct the fold, and the jade bracelet was faded from the hand, the meaning is obviously different, no wonder they are so enthusiastic, Liu Yuan is a little hesitant, the price is so high, and there is no need to buy the bracelet of the eldest grandson queen to give it to the little lady.

Just when Liu Yuan hesitated, a big man walked up to Liu Yuan, flashed his waist card, and said in a low voice: "General Liu, the emperor wants to see you, please." (To be continued......)
