    Liu Yuan's guess was correct. When Abo talked to Cui Jing seductively, Cui Jing only hesitated for a moment and then readily agreed.  Not only did he agree, but he also praised Liu Yuan for using his brains to do things and help the Qinghe Cui family. This was Liu Yuan's first time. For the Qinghe Cui family, this was a positive sign.  Liu Yuan did something that surprised Cui Jing, and Li Er also did something that left Liu Yuan speechless: he put Songtsen Gampo's family under house arrest in a house in Wubenfang.  At Hu Xin's request, Liu Yuan entered the palace and obtained Li Er's consent. Only then did he know the place where Songtsen Gampo was under house arrest, Wubenfang. The Imperial College had already occupied half of the square. It was the place where the fragrance of paper and ink and the sound of books were heard.  Such a beautiful place, what is Li Er going to do? Is he planning to use the saint's words to wash away the murderous spirit in Songtsen Gampo's heart and kill his ambition?  Wouldn¡¯t it be better to send him to a temple?  Liu Yuan originally wanted to accompany Hu Xin and his daughter, but before entering the door, he backed away and asked Yue Chong to protect the two of them while they went in while he waited outside the door.  After all, he had captured it with his own hands, and he felt guilty. After the brother and sister had not seen each other for many years, they should be given a space to speak freely. Hu Xin went in with his head lowered and came out after more than an hour. Although there were tears in the corners of his eyes, his face was filled with tears.  There was an expression of relief, as if the knot had been relieved, and the mood was pretty good. As for what they talked about, Hu Xin didn't say anything, and Liu Yuan didn't ask.  It was the first time for Xiao Liuxue to see her relatives on her mother's side. She received several nice greeting gifts. Whether they were sincere or fake, it was a good start.  So, it¡¯s about Tubo.  We have sorted out everything, and we have resettled those who needed to be resettled, and visited those who needed to be visited.  No worries, no need to go to court, and no involvement in political struggles. Liu Yuan's life became simple and fulfilling again, taking care of business, training troops, and preparing for the construction of two new roads at the same time.  Although there are new roads at the same time, the treatment is different: Luozhou to Qinghe is a veritable expressway, taking the straight path from the twists and turns.  No matter the cost, strive to do your best because that is what you are charged for.  As for the road from Chang'an to Songzhou, it can only be regarded as a highway. Liu Yuan adopted the most cost-effective solution and did not insist on the standards of the Changluo Expressway.  Anyway, just put some cement on it.  Most of them are made by pouring cement on the original official road. In this way, the cost is saved by more than half.  After all, the cost of building roads across mountains and building bridges across rivers is not low.  This is a road built by the imperial court, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are ready. By apportioning labor, prisoners, and prisoners in cells, the labor aspect was successfully solved.  In particular, they defeated Tubo and captured a large number of young men.  They happened to be recruited to build roads. With the experience of Changluo Expressway, they cooperated more tacitly. But what confused Liu Yuan the most was the money.  Cement, sand and gravel, various materials, building materials, food, drink, and toilets all cost money. Purchasing land and compensating crops destroyed by road construction are all inseparable from the word "money", even though they are done under the banner of the imperial court.  If you are doing something that benefits the people, you can't discredit the emperor and yourself. It's good if the people don't ask for high prices. You still have to pay for what should be given and compensated. Besides, the craftsmen of the imperial court can use it for free, allowing them to receive the imperial royalties.  The salary is pretty good, but they have to eat on weekdays.  If you want to run fast immediately, you have to let the horses eat more grass. According to the standards of the imperial court, those prisoners, captives, etc. are absolutely clear soup with little water, not even a drop of oil, let alone meat. Road construction  It is a physical job, and besides, they have to work hard in the winter, and there is no oil in their stomachs. It is unbearable. Preparing to preside over road construction is a great meritorious deed. Liu Yuan does not want to preside over the construction by himself.  The way out was piled with "dead bodies", so it was necessary to improve their food. In this way, the money was spent like water.  Liu Yuan himself donated one million, and Abo Se and the Abo clan donated more than 40,000 taels in total. With Liu Yuan's efforts, they organized activities and auctions, but the effect was not as good as the first time.  In total, only more than 400,000 taels were raised, which was less than half of Liu Yuan's personal donation.  More than one million taels seems to be a huge sum of money. For a family of several people, it is just fine clothing and food, without any prodigal talents or bad habits. It cannot be spent in two lifetimes, but for one thing that is often needed  For a large project that took ten or eight years to be completed, it was not expensive at all. Just the cement, materials and other materials to be purchased were spent more than half. Before large-scale construction started, Liu Yuan had very little money left.  .  It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Liu Yuan, who was thinking hard in the Chang'an newspaper, was so worried that he could not speak.  "My boss, didn't you say you should work on it slowly?" Gong Sheng persuaded patiently: "Anyway, the emperor has not set a time limit. If there is money, we will start work. If there is no money, we will put it on hold. When there is money, we will start work. Gong remembers  My boss said that it is great for an official to sell oneself, but don¡¯t sell your life. The general donated a million taels. Who in the Tang Dynasty does not say that the emperor is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness? You have done enough.It¡¯s ok.  "Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Liu understands what you said, but you have to come up with some results first to stop Youyou from talking. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair if they say that Liu talks nonsense and eats nothing?  ?  No matter what, the road from Chang'an to Fengzhou must be completed within three years.  Gong Sheng said with a wry smile: "Then my boss needs to think of more solutions."  " "You guys usually have a lot of clever ideas. Please help me think about it. What can you do?  Liu Yuan¡¯s visit to Chang¡¯an Newspaper Office this time is, after all, just to raise funds.  Gong Sheng was suddenly in a dilemma. Liu Yuan was not only his boss, but also a noble person in his life. Without Liu Yuan, this famous "Doctor Bazhuan" might become "Doctor Starving to Death". Now Liu Yuan made him think  I really don¡¯t dare to shirk the method.  I have used ideas such as fundraising, charity sales, and charity performances. I wonder if they have been done more frequently recently, and the effect is getting weaker and weaker. Especially for large projects like Taoism, there is no financial support and no stable source of funds. "Alchemy" along the way.  ¡°It¡¯s really difficult to build all the way.  Even though Gong Sheng was resourceful, he didn¡¯t have any good ideas at the moment.  It was so difficult. For a moment, both of them frowned and thought about how to raise funds.  "My boss, Director Gong, come and have some rice cakes." While the two were deep in thought, a maid came in with a box of rice cakes.  Gong Sheng frowned and said, "What rice cakes are you eating at this time? Didn't you expect that we are busy?" Like Liu Yuan, when Gong Sheng was thinking about something, he was most afraid of being interrupted by others. When he saw this maid coming in, he was  Stopping his train of thought, Gong Sheng's face became elongated.  The maid was startled and murmured: "I'm sorry, curator, but the princess sent someone to deliver more than ten kilograms and said they would be distributed to everyone, so" Liu Yuan ate a piece casually.  , frowned and said: "This rice cake is rough, sandy, and smells like paste. It's not made in the palace. Besides, no one in the palace makes such ordinary cakes. Why did the princess send it to you like this?"  "Are you mistaken? The pastries sent by the princess are usually very delicious, but this one is too unpalatable." Gong Sheng took a bite and put it down immediately.  "I heard from the palace maid who brought it that the rice cakes were not made by the royal chef in the palace, but when the princess came out of the palace, she saw a little girl in thin clothes selling rice cakes. Her shoes were torn, she was cold and hungry, but  She was still selling with tears in her eyes, but no one came to her because of the bad taste. The princess felt sorry for her and sent someone to inquire. It turned out that her parents were ill. In order to make a living, she, who was only nine years old, learned from her mother to make rice cakes and sell them.  She was cold and hungry, but she couldn't bear to take a bite. The princess was kind and bought all her rice cakes and sent some of them to the newspaper office. "The maid found out clearly.  Women are naturally interested in gossip.  When he heard that it was a gift from the princess, Gong Sheng curled his lips, not daring to have any objections. Looking at the rice cake, he couldn't help but pick up another piece and eat it. I wonder if it was a matter of his mood. This time, when he ate it, it tasted so mushy.  There is a bit of sweetness in it, and when I think that this was made by a nine-year-old girl, the sweetness is a little bit delicious.  Suddenly, Gong Sheng had an idea in his mind, his eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea was formed. He suddenly said excitedly: "My boss, there is a way." "Oh, what is the way?" Liu Yuan said happily:  "Don't be pretentious, just tell me." Gong Sheng said happily: "For things like fundraising, the quantity is limited, and the effect is not very good. After all, it is not a long-term solution. The boss and subordinates have talked about the concept of packaging. Gong used to be  I only knew a little about it, but now I finally understand. Just like this rice cake, if it is purely based on appearance and taste, it is a failed food. No one is willing to pay for it, but once I have a nine-year-old girl, I still have it.  Regarding the sick father and mother, everyone will think that this piece of rice cake is hard-earned. For a nine-year-old girl, this filial piety is even more rare. Even if it tastes bad and does not look good, there are still people who are willing to pay for it.  Money, there are still people who are willing to taste and taste her filial piety. It is obvious that this has been packaged. " "If we also package the goods, we will not only achieve the corresponding goals, but also improve the original economic benefits."  Sheng paused and continued: "Suppose we increase the price of each copy of the Chang'an newspaper by one penny, and then tell those customers that this penny will be used for road construction. In addition to buying the newspaper, they will also donate a piece of love and save their money.  Gong guessed that no one would take this penny seriously. Buying a newspaper not only allows you to read it for yourself, but also does a good deed. There must be more people willing to buy it. " Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.  He said happily: "Yes, this method can be extended to the books of Mo Yun Study, the jewelry of the Jinyu Family, and even restaurants, restaurants, Nishidi and other places on the Changluo Expressway can be labeled with charity names and packaged with merit.  In this way, no one will have any objection to raising the price., even if you make less money, your business volume will soar. It can be said that you have both wealth and morality, hahaha, yes, yes.  " After saying that, Liu Yuan patted Gong Sheng on the shoulder and said happily: "Gong Sheng, yes, you have made a great contribution.  "(To be continued) ps: The code is still out, hoho~~
