    "Sister Mengyao, this is one million taels. Besides, it's a bottomless pit. Don't you feel heartbroken?" the young lady said in surprise.  Only after the wind and rain have passed can you see the beauty of the rainbow, the hard work, the sweetness of food, the hardships, and the difficulty of happiness. My mother will never forget that because of a few hundred taels of silver, my late father could not be buried, and I  I was almost sold into a brothel. A penny can drive a good man to death. What¡¯s more, a few hundred taels is an astronomical sum of money to the young lady. The young lady is really scared of poverty and takes money relatively seriously. I heard that  Even though I didn't dare to go against my senior brother's wishes after donating so much, I still felt a little reluctant to give up.  Cui Mengyao said with a smile: "If you give up, you will get something. With so much money, it would feel bad to exchange it for anything, but for the second sister, do you know how many people in our Liu family are jealous? Everyone in Chang'an knows that my husband is very good at making money.  Everyone knows that there are mountains of gold and silver in the Liu Mansion, but many people have remembered it. Have you ever heard of the principle of being guilty of a crime?  , that is, if you are a good person and have the protection of the emperor, then everything will be fine. " "There is an old saying that a word can make a country prosperous, but a word can destroy a country. This can also be said that a word can make a family prosperous, and a word can destroy it.  Clan, forget it, these are too complicated. You can¡¯t make enough money anyway, and our family is not short of this little money. Building roads and repairing bridges is a matter of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Second sister, you don¡¯t want to give birth to a son for your husband.  " "I want to" said it without hesitation, but as soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Yuan timidly, then quickly lowered her head, and two blushes appeared on her pretty face.  Cui Mengyao smiled slightly, hugged her mother gently and said, "That's it." The environments we live in are different, and our knowledge and experiences are also different.  When ordinary people teach their children how to make a living, those famous families are already teaching the younger generation how to look at the world. There is an essential difference between the two. Cui Mengyao understands that Liu Yuan does this.  It can be regarded as spending money to prevent disasters. Of course, it can also be regarded as a gesture and attitude. Li Er is not a person who kills the goose to get the eggs. There are some things that he does not say openly, but he actually knows it well.  For example, we support a certain amount of cement supply front lines every year and pave cement roads for free in Chang'an. In exchange for this, the Changluo Expressway is tax-free and the cement business can flow smoothly, and no one dares to cause trouble.  "These are the most generous rewards. Road construction like this time can divert other people's jealousy, and you don't have to worry about the Liu family's money all day long.  Secondly, it can be used to avoid the fight for heirs by building roads. Thirdly, it is a kind of political investment, which can increase the emperor's favor and improve the popularity of the people. Cui Mengyao also believes that her husband must have a way to handle the investment and returns.  ¡°My mother is just a little person. She doesn¡¯t understand the big principles, but she only talks about things that are of interest to her.  She agreed immediately.  When she heard about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, Du Sanniang's eyes lit up. Now she was most concerned about this issue. She was a little reluctant just now. After hearing this, she quickly said: "Don't be afraid of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, Liu Yuan, Sanniang supports you.  " Facing Liu Yuan's gaze, Hu Xin hugged Xiao Xue'er and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, you can do whatever you say. As long as Xiao Xue'er is happy and healthy every day, I will do it.  I'm satisfied." Liu Yuan clapped his hands and said, "That's great. We voted unanimously." Cui Mengyao rolled her eyes at Liu Yuan and said angrily, "My husband is so pretentious. You are the head of the family, and everything at home is yours.  You have the final say. I'm just keeping it for you." "Even" I won't help Liu Yuan this time.  Liu Yuan chuckled. Cui Mengyao was right. Although she came from the Cui family of Qinghe, a famous family at the head of the noble family, she did not have the bad habits of being aloof, unruly and domineering. On the contrary  , she not only served her husband and united her sisters, but also kept the entire Liu family in order, and she had a reputation as a virtuous person in Chang'an.  Du Sanniang said with some expectation: "One million taels, I only dared to think about it before, but I didn't expect that we actually have it here. I really want to see what one million taels would look like together." "I want to see it too.  "Hu Xin was also eager to give it a try.  Liu Yuan smiled slightly, turned to his mother and said: "Mom, take us to see the bank. Anyway, it will be donated soon. Is there anything else that I can't see? Besides, this money is hard earned by us.  , I also want to see what it¡¯s like.¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go and see it together.¡± As soon as Liu Yuan opened his mouth, the girl immediately agreed.  The bank was built in a wing room on the east side, and a basement was dug in the room. Liu Yuan, Cui Mengyao and others followed Xiaoniang and passed through the three doors one by one before arriving at the bank. The three wooden doors were separate.  , a combination door inlaid with large copper nails, similar to a city gate, and finally a large iron door. Then we came to the silver warehouse where the silver coins were stacked, which was heavily guarded.  As soon as he entered the bank, Liu Chi was surprised and said: "Eh?Has it been renovated here?  ¡± I remember that before, there was a feeling of dampness, and the surrounding areas were built with stones. But now the four sides are very smooth and smooth. It was obviously rebuilt with cement. In addition, some tables, chairs and other items were also built with cement. It looks better than  It was much neater before. "Well, Sister Mengyao helped me do it," the girl said in a low voice, "I heard that there was a squire in Guizhou who secretly dug a hole into the bank and took out the gold and silver in it.  The goods were all emptied, and news came that many families with bank vaults in Chang'an were repairing and strengthening their banks. The eldest sister heard that the Cui Mansion used cement to strengthen the bank, and the effect was very good, so she emptied the bank and asked a mason to rebuild it.  It has been renovated. The cement layer on the four sides and the ground is three feet thick. Even if it is hit with a hammer, it is difficult to break it.  "Liu Yuan touched the cold cement wall and knocked it with his hand. It made a dull sound. It seemed that the craftsman really didn't cut corners. "Wow, a lot of gold.  " "So much money, my God, it's too much, it's all piled up into a hill.  " "Xiaoxue, don't play around. These coins are very heavy. Be careful of hurting your legs."  " "Is this, casting silver bricks?  " "Dad, look, there is a lot of money here, and you can buy a lot of candies."  " While Liu Yuan was inspecting the defense equipment of the bank, Du Sanniang and Hu Xin looked left and right as if they had discovered a new world, and even shouted out from time to time. Not only them, but Cui Mengyao also visited with great interest, because  Cui Mengyao only handles the accounts, and like Du Sanniang and Hu Xin, they all deliberately stay away from the bank to avoid suspicion, because this is Xiao Niang's "territory". Knowing how much silver there is and seeing how much silver there is are completely different things. That Huang Chengcheng.  Gold, white silver, and consistent copper coins are neatly displayed. Under the refraction of the fire, the room is full of brilliance. There are many forms, some are in the shape of ingots, some are in the shape of cakes, and some are in the shape of bricks. They are piled up to form  They looked like hills, including Liu Yuan, who couldn't help but have a look of intoxication in their eyes, and everyone was dazzled by it. People died for money, and birds died for food. From the moment gold and silver became currency, human beings have been obsessed with it.  Their possessiveness has never ceased. Perhaps this is a reflection of people¡¯s yearning for a happy life. Only with money can the quality of life be guaranteed. Money is not everything at any time, but without money, everything is impossible.  Absolutely no way. As the manager of the bank, Xiao Niang began to introduce to everyone: "The bank is divided into three parts. This is where gold and silver are stored, and here is where copper coins are stored. As for the boxes over there, they are stored in different parts.  All kinds of property, such as pearls, jade, furs, antiques, etc. Oh, yes, there are also many famous calligraphy and paintings, which were not available before, but the senior brother proposed in the letter to buy some to preserve their value, and I have acquired them in recent years.  Quite a few, these are all handled by the eldest sister, and the young lady is only responsible for keeping them.  " Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Well, you did a good job. I can rest assured that you are doing the work.  " "Second sister, how much money is there?  I saw it all piled up into a hill.  "Du Sanniang said with some surprise. "There are about 35,000 taels of gold, 670,000 taels of silver, and 20,000 taels of copper coins here, which is about 1.04 million taels. They moved a few days ago.  Eight hundred thousand taels, otherwise, the pile would be even higher." The lady smiled helplessly: "But if you donate one million taels, the place will be almost empty.  " "If it's empty, it's empty. If it's not enough, go to the Jinyu Family to transfer it. Oh, by the way, I'll keep one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. Donate all these copper coins so that they won't get in the way here.  "Liu Yuan threw away the ingot of silver he had just picked up and ordered with a calm face. "Senior brother, these copper coins are very heavy, it is more convenient to use gold and silver." The girl frowned and said.  "Second sister" Hu Xin said with a smile: "Don't you understand what Liu Yuan means? What he means is that in order to build this road, our Liu family has scraped together all the copper coins, so that others will be more moved."  , if all gold and silver are used, I'm afraid others will guess how much gold and silver our Liu family has not used.  " So that's it. My mother nodded in understanding and no longer objected. Anyway, Liu Yuan said it was whatever he said. After confirming his financial resources and getting the consent of his family members, Liu Yuan finally started planning to go to Songzhou with Chang'an.  Regarding the highway matter, the three armies have not moved, and food and grass go first. The same is true for road construction. In terms of policy, Li Er is absolutely supportive. The biggest problem and the most troublesome problem now is getting money. It is impossible to pay for all the money himself.  , If this is the case, Liu Yuan is really stupid. Liu Yuan is going to use the power of public opinion and let Gong Sheng write it himself. He starts to publicize the benefits of road construction and the importance of building a highway in Chang'an News, and then uses it for several days.  A large article reported the story of the powerful general Liu Yuan who tried his best to collect a million taels of silver for road construction, and called on everyone to learn from him and donate.??.  As soon as the report came out, it was a sensation in the whole city. It was the first time that someone donated one million yuan. Some people praised Liu Yuan for his philanthropy, and some criticized Liu Yuan for seeking fame. Anyway, everyone said it. Even Li Er and Changsun Huangyuan were alarmed.  They were also surprised that Liu Yuan donated so much at once. Li Er issued an order to commend Liu Yuan that day. Some people in the city were moved by Liu Yuan's righteous deeds, and many people went to the designated fundraising location to donate.  What surprised Liu Yuan the most was that the first and largest donation came from brother and sister Abo Se.  PS: The closer I get to the end, the more tangled and confused my mood becomes, and I am in a bad state. Please forgive me.
