The last dividend has also been obtained, the idea of the lottery, let Liu Yuan make a full bowl of money, what can be taken in the future, is only half a profit share every year, not a penny of copper coins, and wait for the harvest to be completed in the future, where to find such a good thing?

Liu Yuan immediately understood the current affairs and expressed his gratitude to the two elders.

"Hehe, no, when you went to Tibet, didn't you give us a heavy gift for the Cui family? The elders of the family have a share, which can be described as very attentive, the elders of the family appreciate you, and you are too spoiled by those people in the house, and you will be rewarded with beans at every turn, and now they all make you accustomed to it. Cui Shang shook his head and said with a smile.

Money can make ghosts grind, and a lot of silver money is sprinkled, the effect is still obvious, as soon as Liu Yuan entered the Cui family, those subordinates were very enthusiastic, and they all regarded him as the master of the Cui Mansion.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's all my own people." Liu Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, to be honest, after giving the golden beans, the service was promoted, but it was not good to come down again, lest those subordinates say that they were financially poor or stingy or something, but fortunately, their earning ability was strong enough.

Cui Shang smiled and said lightly: "The battle of Tubo is over, and those two clans are waiting to be guarded."

"Big brother" Cui Jing interrupted Cui Shang's words and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan doesn't have a reliable person under his command now, in case someone is unfavorable to him and has no defense, let them follow him for a while longer." ”

There are wild wolves and blood knives by Liu Yuan's side, which is equivalent to having two people to watch Liu Yuan for themselves and not let him mess around, anyway, there is nothing big in the clan now, and the huge Cui clan is not unable to operate without two people. And Cui Shang saw the third brother speak, thinking that he was afraid that the Tubo princess would suffer a loss, and he would secretly send someone to trouble Liu Yuan, and he was worried about his life, so he nodded and left the wild wolf and the blood knife by Liu Yuan's side for the time being.

After returning from returning to Tibet, Cui Shang secretly estimated that the gifts given to Cui's family were worth nearly 100,000 taels, which can be described as extremely rich. It's almost my own person, and I can't care about it.

The two top guards didn't go, and of course Liu Yuan also understood Cui Jing's old boy's abacus, but he also had the habit of looking for flowers and asking willows, and it was good to have two top masters by his side to protect him. How to say that, there is a lot of money and a thin body. People are rich. That life is worth it, and when he heard the words of the Cui brothers, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Cui Jing nodded and said, "Okay, Liu Yuan, you just went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to find the old man and said that he had business. There are also private matters, and I also know that this is not a problem, the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. You can choose, as soon as the materials are met, my Ministry of Industry and the household department of the eldest brother will also fully cooperate, but you still have a private matter to say, now you can say it. ”

Finally getting to the point.

Liu Yuan said in a surprising voice: "Father-in-law, uncle, I want to build a new road. ”

"Road? Do you want to build roads? Isn't there an official road built by the government? What other roads do you want to build? Cui Jing said with a frown.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Jing knows that it is not easy to build a road, there are too many things involved, and the cost is also very high.

Liu Yuan said with confidence: "In business, what the son-in-law does is naturally not a deal to lose money and make money. ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan said his words to the Cui brothers again, and then said sincerely: "The emperor has agreed to this matter, the expropriated land can be purchased at the market price, and if you encounter the official land, you can also buy it at a discount, and now what the son-in-law has to do is to find someone to measure it first, plan the route in advance, and combine the three of saving costs, shortening the distance and creating maximum benefits, which requires the strong support of the father-in-law, and in order to prevent the collusion of officials and deliberately inflating the land price, this matter will be a big trouble, You are the head of the household, and all the land in Datang is filed with you. ”

"You are right, although the official road from Chang'an to Luozhou has been around for a long time, the latest overhaul is still in the previous dynasty, the transportation capacity is insufficient, this is an indisputable fact, the inconvenience caused by wind and rain, the mid-year holiday, etc., is also obvious to all, you said that the emperor has agreed, let the Ministry of Industry send someone to assist you, this is not a problem, is there no nod from the emperor, the old man will give you some manpower, it is not a difficult thing, the only question is the cement, is it really as magical as you said?" Cui Jing asked sharply.

Cui Jing has been entrenched in the position of the Ministry of Industry for many years, at a time when all industries are waiting to be prosperous, and there are countless projects in his hands, although he is a little greedy for money and lustful, but he still has the ability, otherwise, he will not squat in this fat position for so many years, Liu Yuan said so much, but he immediately heard that the key to the success of this road is cement.

With Li Er's approval, land acquisition is not a problem, and the Ministry of Industry also has enough skilled craftsmen to meet the requirements of construction, and the money and silver are put aside for the time being.

Liu Yuan smiled, to be honest, he was really no stranger to this matter.

Cement this thing, is an indispensable building material for later generations, the ancient Roman people in the construction, they know how to mix lime and volcanic ash to become building raw materials, can be said to be the earliest cement in history, in the previous life, Liu Yuan's small village wanted to build a cement road, did not expect the town's cement was all monopolized by the mayor's brother-in-law, the price was as much as thirty percent higher than expected, but the money was limited, but the cement refused to be cheap, in a fit of anger, the second uncle who worked in the cement factory led people to match themselves, There happened to be limestone on the mountain, the whole village under the guidance of the second uncle, all the people went out, did it themselves, and finally built a beautiful cement road, in addition to the expenses, the remaining money is just enough for the village primary school to renovate again, this is the pride of the small village, Liu Yuan was still a little kid at the time, and he was also curious to see when preparing cement, and he had some impressions in his heart, and the principle was also understood, as long as he tried a few more times, he would definitely succeed.

This is also the reason why Liu Yuan wants to engage in highway tolls.

There are difficulties, there is no mechanical help, no steel bars, cement support, no geological data, design coefficient support, Liu Yuan is not a talent in this area, everything is from scratch, it can be described as difficult, but it is not without advantages.

First of all, with Li Er's approval and the support of Qinghe Cui's family, the most important issue of land acquisition has become easy, the second is a high-speed road, the people's requirements for it are not required, what Liu Yuan does, how they accept, regardless of the destruction and damage of the environment, there are slaves, labor has become very cheap, the most important is also the most important, Liu Yuan made the cement, the quality is certainly not as good as the refined cement of later generations, and the quality will not reach the level of later generations, but in ancient times, That transportation capacity is far from being comparable to that of later generations.

The life of a road, mainly depends on the degree of damage to it, like later generations, those cars are as long as more than ten meters at every turn, a pull is more than ten tons, dozens of tons, encounter the transportation of large machinery, hundreds of tons of all, the car pressure on the road can be imagined, so what steel bars, high-standard cement, etc. to all use, but in the Tang Dynasty different, the main means of transportation is horses, the pulling force of horses is limited, the carrying capacity of the carriage is also limited, that is, several horses pull together, can not pull much, the pressure on the road is limited, even if the standard drops again and again, It can also be fully adapted to its needs.

The small village road in Liu Yuan's hometown in his previous life, that is, cement mixed with sand and gravel, a steel bar is useless, and he runs happily every day, and he still uses it as usual for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's confidence was full again, and when he heard Cui Jing ask himself, Liu Yuan said confidently: "Father-in-law, you can rest assured, the son-in-law never does anything that he is not sure of, and he will not start building immediately, but he will start to work now, and I don't know if I can plan it in half a year, and now I will send some craftsmen to measure and plan, and it will not cost a few dollars." ”

Cui Shang and Cui Jing glanced at each other and hesitated, Cui Shang still said a little uneasily: "It stands to reason that if you want something, even we should not interfere, but as your elder, I have to remind you that the money spent on building a road is too huge, and you dare to make such a decision based on what you haven't finished yet, will you be hasty?" ”

"If the uncle is worried, then, before the niece and son-in-law start work, they must impress you with the real thing, and then start work, you can rest assured, right?"

"That's good" Cui Shang nodded, then rolled his eyes, and said a little indifferently: "It stands to reason that it costs a lot to build a new road, purchase land, level the foundation, and construction, and there is a gap in the money and silver of the niece and son-in-law?" ”

Liu Yuan's all kinds of magic, Cui Shang has experienced it early on, broken jade can still be round, even the legendary clairvoyance can be messed up, what kind of cement to get, it is estimated that it is not a problem, Liu Yuan said, before starting work, you must impress yourself, if it is really as magical as he said, then, a road that can collect tolls is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, the kind that can lay for decades, such a good opportunity, as the head of Cui's new generation, Cui Shang naturally can't let it go.

The industry is big, and the family is not small, no one will think that their family has a lot of money, not to mention that many of Cui's partial houses are not very rich.

"Even if my uncle doesn't say it, my niece and son-in-law are also ready to ask you for help, such a big project, no one can gnaw it, and I am ready to join forces with several powerful families to do it together."

Liu Yuan made up his mind early in the morning, silver, one person can't earn enough, anyway, his own strength is not enough, it is better to have a good benefit, sell a favor, so as not to eat alone, cause other forces to blush, deliberately add blockage to himself, and save people with a heart to remember every day.
