Melon seeds, candied fruits, preserved fruits, snacks, ice cream, etc., are placed on the table, it can be said that there is everything, Liu Yuan, Cui Jing, Cheng Lao Demon King, Yu Chi Jingde, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, a total of seven people, sat in a circle in Liu Yuan's study, and outside the door, private guards and servants stood ten steps away to guard.

No one can go in and disturb without an order from inside.

There are millions of big projects involved, so it's natural to be cautious.

"Father-in-law, so many uncles, please use it." After they all sat down, Liu Yuan made a gesture to everyone.

Cui Jing picked a piece of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, clicked it twice, and then said with a smile: "Well, yes, it's made of high-quality wild honey." ”

"Yes, the things that Xiaoyuan made are very delicious, and Li has been cheeky lately." Li Jing also took a piece of macaroons and threw it in his mouth, saying self-deprecatingly.

Niu Jin also smiled and said: "To be honest, my old cow admires Cui Shangshu's gaze very much, and I am not afraid that you will be angry when you hear it, when I heard that Cui Shangshu married his daughter to a powerless little scholar, I Lao Niu also laughed loudly, saying that Brother Cui had eyes and no beads, and pushed his daughter off the fire kang, at that time, many people regarded it as a joke, but I didn't expect that Shibei three days, when I was impressed, the nameless boy that day, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and won the emperor's respect, today, even I and other old guys, I have to rely on him, Cui Shangshu's eyes are like torches, and his eyes are talented, admiration and admiration. ”

"Where, where, General Niu is really too high-spirited, Liu Yuan, this kid, is just a five-grade petty official, what is worthy of praise, beware of praising him so much that his tail is cocked." Cui Jing's face was like a flower, and he hurriedly said modestly.

Niu Jinda is a well-known honest man, who rarely praises people, and now he can say such things. It's very rare, if someone else says it, Cui Jing only treats it as a polite word, but Niu Jinda says it in his mouth, it's different, the credibility is extremely high, and he is so happy that he smiles, not to mention how long he has face.

At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to fork Liu Yuan to death, that is, he misunderstood his daughter Cui Mengyao's secret knot and gritted his teeth to promote the marriage. Looking back now, it was really a marriage made by mistake, fortunately, the feng shui of Cui's ancestral tomb is good, ugly things become beautiful things, misunderstandings become good stories, and now Cui Jing is also respected by a group of colleagues because of his "wisdom and treasure". Even Li Er expressed his appreciation for his foresight, and two old friends chose sons-in-law last month. Specially pulled him out to put his eyes on it.

It's like pulling another flag. It says "Cui Daxian" can go out on the street to make money.

Liu Yuan also said modestly: "Uncle Niu has won the award, in fact, it is because so many uncles have taken care of and loved him that he is today, and the boy has to thank so many uncles." ”

Wei Chi Jingde smiled and said: "Well, it's really good, a talented man meets a beautiful woman, and a beautiful woman matches a hero." Liu Yuan, work hard, add a few more good stories, and it will be lively. ”

"He said it doesn't count," Cheng Old Demon King squinted his eyes and said, "This matter has to be approved by Cui Shangshu." Otherwise, with a wave of Cui Shangshu's hand, Xiao Yuanxian's nephew would be miserable. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Li Qing teased: "Cui Shangshu, this is not good, you are romantic, but you don't let your son-in-law feel comfortable, this is not fair, haluha"

Cui Jinglao's face turned red, and he quickly shook his head and said: "It's funny, it's funny, marrying a wife and taking a concubine, that's his own business, Cui is not an enlightened person, and the little girl is definitely not a jealous woman." In order to prove that what he said was true, Cui Jing deliberately gave an example: "Don't hide it from you, Liu Yuan married a little girl, and by the way, he will marry his two confidantes who met Yu Xiaoshi, Cui has nothing to say, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

Face is very important, Cui Jing doesn't want to fall into the infamy of bullying the weak and bullying his son-in-law, especially if he is not right.

"That's, that's,

Cheng Lao Demon King smiled, smiled and said to Cui Jing: "Qinghe Cui's family, really understand the righteousness, this mind, I admire Lao Cheng, Cui Shangshu, come, replace wine with water, toast you." ”

"Okay, it's rare for General Cheng to appreciate him so much, do it."

Cui Jing is also a master of the wine field, and he is also very familiar with the things that liven up the atmosphere, so the two of them replaced the wine with water, and they had a drink like this.

Looking at the old man's smiling face, Liu Yuan secretly wondered in his heart: This old demon king, who is holding Cui Jing's old boy, what are you going to do?

Oh, by the way, and you want to do more in the negotiations? Well, think about it, it's also possible, this road construction, the project is very large, and there are a lot of projects required, this old demon king, this side is out of silver, and there is already calculating how to make money, it's really cunning, but that's okay, Cui Jing's old boy said something like that, and he will enter the door in the future, and he has nothing to say.

Hey, I inadvertently picked up a big bargain.

Obviously talking about a big project, but none of them are in a hurry, they are all talking, laughing, waiting for others to speak, and chatting for a while, Liu Yuan saw that the time was almost up, coughed dryly, and after everyone focused on themselves, he smiled and said: "Okay, tonight the juniors invited you to discuss the construction of the highway from Chang'an to Luozhou, all the work is almost ready, and all the cement used in the construction of the road has been seen in the field, before the formal cooperation, If you have any questions, please feel free to speak. ”

None of them spoke, as the host and organizer, Liu Yuan brought the topic to the point.

Hearing Liu Yuan say business, they unconsciously straightened their waists and became serious.

"This cement is really magical, obviously it is a few piles of different materials, when combined, it is as strong and magical" Li Jing exclaimed: "Li wants to ask, how did this cement come from?" Don't be nervous, the old man doesn't want to set the secret of cement, he just wants to ask, is this the original material, or is it prepared with a secret recipe? ”

Liu Yuan said very honestly: "It is prepared with a secret recipe, but in the world, this secret recipe is only known to the little nephew." ”

"This is good, if it is dug out, I am afraid that there will be a day when the digging is finished, I have let people try, the water is not bad, the fire is not damaged, and the strong bow of the two stones is used to shoot, and only a shallow trace is left, Li pecked and grinded, this cement can be molded in any shape before it solidifies, not only can it be used to build roads, but it is also used to defend the city, and it is also very appropriate." Li Jing said wisely.

The god of war is the god of war. Observe the details, give him a small cement slab, so quickly think of it to be used in construction, good at using his brain, he really deserves to be a general with both wisdom and bravery.

Qin Qiong also nodded and said, "It's really strong, didn't you still insert the horizontal knife into it at that time?" The cement bit so tightly that it broke the knife and couldn't pull it out, I couldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. ”

"Xiaoyuan. Your cement is good, and it costs a lot to pave the road, so your uncle Cheng asked you, such a magical cement. Is it costly? "Old Demon King Cheng is most concerned about the price. I couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

Liu Yuan rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Because of the cost." It is related to trade secrets, please forgive the little nephew for selling it, I can only say that the cost is not high, and the price is absolutely within the range that you can afford. ”

The crowd nodded. This is also understandable, because Liu Yuan said that they had considered whether Liu Yuan would use technology to buy shares or use money to buy shares. If you choose to let Liu Yuan use silver money to buy shares, then the secret recipe in Liu Yuan's hands is naturally developed by himself, and the cement produced is sold to everyone, which is another kind of relationship, and what will be discussed at that time is only a matter of price.

As for the cost, that's a secret.

In business, this is normal, who would show their old bottom to others for no reason.

After a pause, Wei Chi Jingde said in a deep voice: "It's all about this, let's get straight to the point, Xiaoyuan, it is estimated that you have also made an assessment and calculation, and said the budget for building this road, and if you have an estimate, it is easy to discuss, otherwise, it will be no result if you talk about it in generalities here." ”

"yes, let's get down to business." Old Demon King Cheng also said with a serious face.

Liu Yuan stood up, saluted everyone first, and then said with a straight face: "Uncles, there are a lot of secrets involved in this matter, and I don't know if you will participate in it or not. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all nodded to each other at the end: this request is very reasonable, you can not participate, but you can't leak secrets, so as not to have bad effects.

Cui Jing was the first to stand up and said with a serious face: "I, Cui Jing, declare in the honor of the ancestors of the Cui clan that I will never spread the content here. ”

As an old father-in-law, he naturally has to support his son-in-law, and besides, Qinghe Cui's family made a decision to fully support Liu Yuan early on.

With Cui Jing taking the lead, the people present also made guarantees one by one.

"I, Cheng Zhijie, declare in the honor of Cheng's ancestors that I will never spread the content here, and the words of the child can be learned from heaven and earth."

"I, Qin Qiong, declare in the honor of the ancestors of the Qin clan that I will never spread the content here, and the words of the innocent son can be learned from heaven and earth."

"I, Niu Jinda, declare in the honor of the ancestors of the Niu clan that I will never spread the content here, and the words of the child can be learned from heaven and earth."

After everyone made a guarantee, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out a few pieces of data with a smile, and began to explain patiently:

"According to preliminary measurements and estimates, because of the wrong route in the previous dynasty, the current official road course adds up to nearly 900 li, not more than 700 li as previously said, and our new road can be shortened by nearly one-third, about 600 li, and the places where we pass through are paddy fields, dry fields, rivers, hillsides, wasteland, and different lands, and the land prices are not the same. As for cement, I don't know whether you are buying finished products or buying technology, if you buy technology, you have to open a cement factory, buy raw materials, set up a fleet for transportation, etc."

"Let's put it this way, the little nephew's cement technique can be said to be priceless, widely used, can be used in construction, road repair, bridge repair, city wall repair, etc., for the sake of your uncles, the discount is one million taels, estimated, if you just buy cement, the cost is about three million taels of silver, if you even buy the technique together, it will be as high as three and a half million taels of silver."

Three million taels?

There was a gasping voice in the study, Rao is a wealthy person, with fields, land and shops, and he was also surprised, but it was more than three million taels of silver, not more than three million copper coins, two taels a month, the shopkeeper can already support a family of four with monthly money, more than three million taels, this silver can be taken out, can form an elite division of tens of thousands of people.

Niu Jinda couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiaoyuan, wouldn't this be too exaggerated, although the four realms are stable now, the price of the fields is very high, and the paddy fields in the good land are only about fifteen taels and one acre, and the wasteland and river beaches are only five taels and one acre, and the road of hundreds of miles needs millions of taels?" ”

Liu Yuan explained: "This time lucky, get the emperor's permission, the required land, are according to the market price, not afraid of someone deliberately making things difficult, but to build a new road, not only from Chang'an to Luozhou, in a crowded place, but also to build the intersection access, both sides of the road need to be closed, in addition, hundreds of miles of road, but also have to set up their own reverse house (ancient hotel), for guests to rest, horses to relieve fatigue, supply, maintenance of carriages, etc., these all need land, both configuration and money-making projects, all year round, these are huge profits, the cost of buying land, Including here, about thirty or fifty miles away, you have to build a reverse house, so that the light reverse house will also have about twenty rooms. ”

Qin Qiong knocked on the case and said, "Virtuous nephew, the price of the cement technique is one million taels, will the price be too high?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "On the contrary, the little nephew also feels that the drive is low, not to mention anything else, as soon as the Chang'an to Luozhou Expressway opens, everyone has seen the wonderful use of cement, and they will compete for it, this is a unique business, and the profit can be said to be very considerable. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, mainly because this budget has greatly exceeded the pressure on everyone's hearts, especially the cement technique, everyone has seen the magic and magic of cement, not afraid of flooding, not afraid of fire, once solidified, hard as a stone, in fact, it is very magical, however, the value of this million taels is too high.

"You don't have to look at Cui, Liu Yuan and I are Weng's son-in-law, this time we remain neutral, any plan is acceptable, cough cough, if you think there is no prospect, Qinghe Cui's is also willing to bear it." Cui Jing said expressionlessly.

Sure enough, he has a lot of money.

Old Demon King Cheng stared at Liu Yuan and said with a serious face: "Xiaoyuan, Uncle Cheng only asked, can you recover the cost if you invest so much silver?" When will I be profitable? (To be continued......)
