Liu Yuan's heart blossomed, this demon of the world was stimulated, like stretching his neck and waiting for himself to be slaughtered, it should be!

Just after a little hesitation, Cheng Huailiang suddenly became unhappy again, and hurriedly urged: "General Liu, just say it quickly, don't hang the appetite of our father and son anymore." ”

"Yes, yes" Liu Yuan immediately responded: "This matter has already happened if it doesn't happen, it can't be changed, it can only be remedied, according to Liu's opinion, it's best to find a scapegoat." ”

"Go on, don't stop," Old Demon King Cheng said immediately.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "If the whole thing is depicted as the little nephew came to the door to ask for donations that day, Uncle Cheng responded enthusiastically and entertained a meal of wine, but I didn't expect to drink a little too much later, when the little nephew asked Uncle Cheng how much he didn't give, Uncle Cheng didn't speak well, so he stretched out his two fingers and said to the housekeeper to donate this amount, you actually want to donate two thousand taels, it was the housekeeper who would be wrong, and then there was a series of misunderstandings, but Uncle Cheng had to spend another 1,800 taels of silver." ”

One thousand eight hundred taels?

Fortunately, it's not much, barely acceptable, Cheng Old Demon King was relieved when he heard it, but his flesh hurt a little, and he patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and said: "Virtuous nephew, this matter is up to you, otherwise, the old man will donate another thousand taels, and you will settle this matter for your Uncle Cheng, how about it?" ”

Nima, this old boy, is really picky, and now he can't bear it.

Liu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, and Cheng Huailiang on the side was a little dissatisfied: "Dad, we didn't almost have that bit of silver, why bother the general, besides, look at it, what do you say in the newspaper, that is, donate 2,000 taels, which is not as good as those who donate more, we are dignified Chengfu, but it is difficult to get 2,000 taels?" Can't afford to pay a month or wear new clothes? The dignified government is not ashamed. Can we have a little bit of interest, donate 2,000 taels, and say the same jokes. ”

Liu Yuan also said with a wry smile: "Uncle Cheng, this is wrong, the little nephew is only responsible for raising money, and the money and materials donated did not go into Liu's pocket, all of them were used for road repair, and the money and silver donated were just a penny." It is also necessary to register and hand it over to the emperor for inspection. ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Cheng, the little nephew still hasn't said anything, and the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an are enthusiastically donating. Their contributions deserve to be respected and admired. At that time, the little nephew will set up a monument of merit in Chang'an. Engrave the information of donating a lot on it, and the emperor and queen will personally unveil the merit monument, so it is also a good thing to donate more and make a name for eternity. ”

This old demon king Cheng. I was really speechless to him, I don't know if it was too close to Li Er, red near Zhu, and black near ink. I also learned Li Er's temperament, and I want to bargain for donations.

"What? Monument of merit? Old Demon King Cheng said with some surprise.

Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "Of course, this is a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, of course, we must erect a monument to remember, so that future generations can know the Tao, the road they walked, which benevolent man donated it, and the emperor specially told him to do a good job, and the emperor and the queen both said that they personally unveiled the merit monument." ”

"Then, that virtuous nephew, how do you say the old man is good?" Old Demon King Cheng had a good face and was reluctant to give up the money, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

"This depends on whether Uncle Cheng wants fame or money."

"Of course it's to be famous, the old man doesn't want to let people point fingers as soon as he goes out, and now he is also a relative of the emperor, so he can't lose the face of the emperor's relatives."

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine, a dignified prince, a general, can't be a laughing stock." ”

"How much do you think it's good to donate?" Old Demon King Cheng said with some pain.

"Isn't it two thousand taels? Two thousand taels is not less. ”

Old Demon King Cheng pointed to the newspaper and scolded without tears: "Why are you writing in such detail, isn't this a pit old man?" It's written that they can't even send out their monthly money, so exaggerated, donating another 2,000 taels, it's just 50 steps of laughter and 100 steps, and a big joke becomes a small joke. ”

"Uncle Cheng, I said that I would find a housekeeper as a scapegoat, and you naturally have the final say on how much you donate, but that amount must be related to two, otherwise if you say it, others won't believe it, either two thousand taels or twenty thousand taels, so"

Twenty thousand taels?

Old Demon King Cheng gasped, two hundred taels felt too much, two thousand taels of heart hurt, if it was twenty thousand taels, wouldn't it be cutting his own flesh?

Liu Yuan was still beside him and said: "Twenty thousand taels is too much, and the little nephew doesn't support Uncle Cheng to give so much, so it's good to donate two thousand taels, if others like to laugh, let them laugh, anyway, laughing won't lose meat." ”

Cheng Lao Demon King remembered Li Er's "concern", the criticism of the people and subordinates, and then looked at the big red gown thrown aside, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Okay, needless to say, I Lao Cheng donated 20,000 taels." ”

"Uncle Cheng"

"Okay, that's it, Xiaoyuan, you must help the old man get it properly."

Suddenly there were 20,000 taels more, Liu Yuan didn't welcome it, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, the little nephew will definitely satisfy you." ”

Old Demon King Cheng turned his head to Lord Cheng Huailiang: "What are you doing here, go to open the treasury, take 20,000 taels of silver, and you will bring someone to send it over in person in a while, so that the people of Chang'an City can see if my old Cheng is so chicken-bellied and small-hearted." ”

"Yes, Daddy, the boy will go right away." Cheng Huailiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took someone to count the money.

After Cheng Huailiang left, Old Demon King Cheng stared at Liu Yuan, who was in a good mood, and said, "Okay, you Liu Yuan, are you satisfied now?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a look of remorse: "Seeing Uncle Cheng spending so much, the little nephew is really uneasy. ”

"Don't talk to me about those useless things, this time it's cheap, you kid, you think I don't know what to do? Let me ask you, that old guy Chi Jingde, how much did he donate? ”

"I donated a few hundred taels, more than Uncle Cheng, but after donating 20,000 taels this time, you will donate the most in the entire Chang'an."

Old Demon King Cheng said bitterly: "When the merit tablet is engraved, remember to ask the craftsman to engrave the old man's name bigger. ”

"Definitely"

"No matter, my old Cheng has come out so much at once, you can't favor one over the other, you have to dig a little more for others, especially the old guy Wei Chi Jingde, who dared to laugh at the old man, but he can't be spared." The last thing that Old Demon King Cheng couldn't let go of in his heart was his "sworn enemy", and he couldn't let him get better if he had blood.

Well, dog-eat-dog, they fight, it's better to do it themselves.

Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, Uncle Cheng, the little nephew also wants to find a way to let them have more, so that the little nephew can also reduce the burden a little, but I am afraid that my position is low-spoken and not easy to speak, if Uncle Cheng can help the little nephew, it will be better." ”

"You can make the old man miserable, why do you want to help you?" Old Demon King Cheng squinted his eyes and said.

"This is simple, drag them all into the water, so that they won't be able to laugh at you, besides" Liu Yuan lowered his voice and said: "This time to pave a new road, but it involves more than a million taels, if this project is completed by manpower, the emperor will let the little nephew be fully responsible, who will do this work, the price is geometric, isn't it the little nephew who has the final say?" As long as Cheng's father can lend a helping hand, the little nephew will give you this project, if it goes well, isn't it easy to get back the 20,000 taels? This is a great thing for fame and fortune. ”

The little money donated by the common people is not much, although there are many enthusiastic people, after all, their ability is limited, and they are able to search for the people, Liu Yuan has always disdained to do such things, robbing the rich and helping the poor is Liu Yuan's style, like this old demon king, these people have made a lot of profits when they fight, and Li Er's reward for them is extremely rich, and they are all very rich, Liu Yuan's eyes were aimed at them from the beginning.

But this trick is too vicious, and you can't publish everyone in the Chang'an Daily, you can't make it an enemy of the world, and this trick works well at the beginning, and if you use it again, maybe it won't have any effect, but it's different to pull up the old demon king, let him mess around arrogantly and unreasonably, the effect will definitely be good, don't look at them one by one are generals, with a straight face or something, in fact, there is no less bad water in their stomachs.

"You kid, you also dragged the old man into the water, hahaha, okay, this matter is more lively, this favor Lao Cheng has helped, help you squeeze them, hum, but, let's talk about it first, I helped you, the problem of the project"

Liu Yuan said with a resolute face: "It's definitely not a problem. ”

The two looked at each other, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, and in a few words, a temporary alliance was formed.

Cheng Huailiang's speed is also very fast, soon, one by one, the boxes of heavy boxes carried by the subordinates came out, lined up in the hall, these boxes are also affixed with seals, painted with fire paint, Cheng Lao Demon King gritted his teeth, personally tore open the seals, scraped off the fire paint, opened one box after another, for a while, in the lobby, the silver light was shining, and the hall was full of brilliance.

"Liu Yuan, look at it, there are ten boxes here, each box has one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver, that is, a total of two thousand taels in one box, and ten boxes here, a total of 20,000 taels, what, do you want to inspect it?" Old Demon King Cheng said with a complicated expression.

At this moment, the endurance is good without Fa Biao.

"No, doesn't the little nephew still believe Uncle Cheng?" Liu Yuan's heart blossomed.

was taken advantage of by the Demon King of the Mixed World, which even took back the interest, and when he saw the tangled but pretended to be generous face of the old demon king Cheng, Liu Yuan was in a good mood.

"I donated two hundred taels before, well, deduct two hundred taels first, so that it is an integer" Cheng Lao Demon King seemed to think of something, picked up two ingots of silver, and then twisted and said to Cheng Huailiang: "When you send two taels of silver, take a little more detour, go to the door of Wei Chi's mansion, and let the old man take a good look, who is stingy, well, by the way, come on, wrap up the clothes on the ground, come and not be rude, I Lao Cheng also has to give him some generous gifts and add to him." ”

Cheng Huailiang immediately responded: "Yes, Dad, the child listens to you." (To be continued......)
