A month later, the agreed deadline has arrived, and it is the end of the year, early in the morning, many good people have gathered outside the palace of Juyan, and the two hundred guards brought by Liu Yi are fully armed, and they come to the palace with Liu Yi.

"Settled?" Liu Yi looked at King Juyan, whose face was pale, and asked with a smile.

"This ......" King Juyan's forehead continued to seep cold sweat, looking at Liu Yi, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Can Sikong give some time?" ”

"I'll teach you how to do the math." Liu Yi looked at the other party and said, "There are about fifteen million grains of corn in one stone, according to this calculation, you only need to calculate how many grains of rice, and then come to me." ”

"This ......" King Juyan looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile, and then looked at the heavily armed Han soldiers around him, obviously ready to violently seize power, the surrounding highlands have been controlled, and one by one crossbow arrows are aimed at this side.

In the end, as if he had lost all his spirit, King Juyan said dejectedly: "Little Wang...... is willing to belong to the whole country into the Han Dynasty, but can Cheriji open the net? ”

"If you attempt to assassinate the Han and make it possible to forgive your crimes, in the future, in the Western Regions, where is the majesty of my Han Dynasty? Who will protect the safety of the Han envoys? Liu Yi walked straight in the direction of the palace, and his voice came from afar: "King Juyan, don't make mistakes, you can't save his life!" ”

"......" King Juyan opened his mouth, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

Juyan has completely attached to the Han Dynasty so far, there is no longer Juyan country, but Juyan County to say, Liu Yi ordered people to send the king of Juyan to Wuwei, so that Zhang Yuan is good to settle, not to be slow, and at the same time the palace collection of copper gathered to mint coins, Juyan City to this day, no longer barter, but to five baht as currency, standardize the market, that is, the countries of the Western Regions to trade, they can barter, but want to buy porcelain here, silk, must use five baht money, otherwise do not collect.

After the beginning of spring, Liu Yi led people to start digging ditches in Yanze, draining irrigation, planning fertile fields and pastures, and teaching the people of Juyan to make manure, in March of the third year of Xingyuan, Liu Yi built a waterwheel on the bank of weak water, and at the same time built a cement factory, a glass factory, and a smelter near the sand sea, and began to look for drought-tolerant plants to try to cultivate in killing the enemy, to see if the environment around Juyan can be improved, not to mention clearing the desert, but at least let the environment on this side of Juyan get some improvement, as for the reconstruction of Juyan, for the time being, the people's will has not yet been fully annexed, Although Liu Yi is planning, he has not started construction, and is preparing to carry out it after the winter of this year, and the preliminary work must be done well.

After May, Liu Yi began to set up post stations at both ends of the desert, led people to build a large number of sand sleds, and at the same time began to build wooden rails along the Huishui, all the way to the weak water, and then from the weak water to Juyan, although it was longer and more laborious, but there were tracks connected, and the connection between Juyan and the cities of Dahan would be closer.

However, the speed will be much slower, and the manpower here cannot be compared with the Han Dynasty, and it is expected that it will not be able to pass until at least the end of the year.

In June, in the middle of the hot summer, the glass factory finally produced the first batch of glass.

Glass: Transparent +68, Light Transmission +66, Strength +65, Wear Resistance +68

Looking at the first batch of glass he made, Liu Yi tried it with others, not to mention the light transmittance and transparency, but it was just like ordinary glass, fragile.

This kind of characteristic is difficult to improve much even if it has the blessing of attributes, Liu Yi has made some porcelain with attributes before, but even if it has strength attributes, it still can't withstand ruthlessness, and it is only stronger than ordinary porcelain.

And there is no way to find a comparison with the glass in this regard, so Liu Yi doesn't know how much difference the glass he made is from the ordinary glass in the previous life, but in terms of light transmittance, the glass with the blessing of attributes is naturally more translucent, and it is easy to be ignored if you don't pay attention to it when you stand up.

With this, your own telescope can be mass-produced.

"Sikong, these glazed ......" A group of craftsmen watched the sand turn into crystal clear glass step by step in their hands, and their excitement was naturally indescribable.

Colored glass, whether it is in the Western Regions or the Central Plains, it is a precious thing, and many colored glass utensils are priceless, but now they are made of a pile of sand and stones, which makes people feel unreal.

"Make a window, and when Juyan City is rebuilt at the end of the year, I will use this as a window." Liu Yi grinned and said, although it is a rotten thing in the later generations, but in this era, this is the price at which gold can be sold: "In addition, burn some utensils, and after a while, when Mi Wei comes, let him take these utensils to the countries of the Western Regions to sell." ”

Glass will definitely be mass-produced, and it will definitely depreciate in the future, but this does not prevent taking advantage of the information asymmetry to make a big profit and replace these colored glasses with copper and even gold, jade and war horses.

With the success of the first batch, then with the proficiency of the craft, there are more and more patterns made, glasses, glass ornaments, glass wine utensils, etc., although the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions in summer is large, but it is precisely because of this that merchants from all over the world come and go frequently, Juyan City as an important hub leading to the Han Dynasty and the grassland, at this time of year, the merchants who come and go are the most.

At this time, he took out some glazed utensils to sell, and exchanged a large amount of copper for Liu Yi, which was then minted into five baht coins, and at the same time, in addition to Dunhuang, which had been out of control, the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan also began to collect only five baht coins in accordance with Liu Yi's order, and the five baht coins began to circulate among merchants in the Western Regions.

At the end of August, Liu Yi began to organize people to take the people to a temporary camp outside the city to prepare for the winter, and at the same time summoned the people of Juyan to tear down the old city and start preparing to build a new city.

Juyancheng is just a border hub, naturally it does not need to be as perfect as Chang'an and Luoyang, the scale has expanded a little, but it is also built according to the scale of the county, it is too big and not suitable, it will occupy the place of arable land and pasture, this is not a big man, arable land is very precious.

In September, the foundation was excavated and the city was built, and in October, the city wall was built, and the city wall was two feet and three feet high, which was good for this side of the land.

Beginning in November, the houses in the new city began to be completed, and the people outside the city began to move in, unlike the new city of Dahan to build high-rise buildings, the foundation of Juyan City is not as solid as the Dahan city, and the water resources are not abundant, the tallest building in the city is only three floors, and the whole city can accommodate 10,000 households at most.

A large number of glass windows have been put into use, giving it a cross-era feel.

In December, with the completion of Juyan Academy, Liu Yi began to promulgate decrees that the children of meritorious soldiers could enroll in school and learn all kinds of knowledge, and the original soldiers of Juyan City plus the released prisoners and those who signed up for the army, Liu Yi raised 2,000 soldiers and horses in Juyan City.

……

In the fourth year of Xingyuan, at the beginning of February.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

"In the first month of the fourth year of Xingyuan, Liu Yi took Wei Chang and Wei Rong as generals, led a thousand Juyan soldiers and horses and two thousand Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan three counties to get together, a total of 3,000 people invaded Dunhuang, three battles and three victories, invaded Dunhuang, killed the rebel general, and surrendered more than 4,000 Dunhuang rebels. A total of 340 million coins were minted, of which 210 million were put into use in Tiangongfang, and the remaining 130 million were used to buy copper and jade from various countries, and most of the jade has been sent to Chang'an. ”

Huang Haonian's mouth was a little dry, and he paused here and glanced at Liu Chan.

"Why don't you read it?" Liu Chan listened to it well, and frowned at Huang Hao when he heard the words.

"Whoa!" Huang Hao nodded hurriedly, and then continued to read: "In addition, Sikong exchanged the glazed utensils for good horses from all over the Western Regions, including three sweat and blood horses, 1,671 Dawan good horses, and more than 10,000 war horses of all kinds. ”

"Good!" Liu Chan slapped the table and laughed, although the Han now has a horse source, but these 10,000 war horses are not a small number, not to mention that there are sweat and blood horses, Dawan Liangju This level, the red rabbit horse of the year is the sweat and blood horse, this time I got three, although it may not be really like the red rabbit, but it will not be too bad.

"At the beginning of this year, Sikong gave me a big gift! Good! Liu Chan looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "Spread the edict, add Sikong Liu Yi as the Marquis of Yueyang, eat 10,000 households, reward 10,000 gold, the right to mint coins in the Western Regions is temporarily in Sikong's hands, and promote Wei Chang and Wei Rong to ride the captains, each with a reward of 100 gold, and the craftsmen of the Western Regions of the Tiangongfang have a reward of 100 gold." ”

When the ministers heard this, although they were jealous, they were helpless, Liu Yi's trip to the Western Regions made too much contribution, but he was ranked as the third duke, and it was difficult to be sealed again, and moving Mohou to Yueyang Marquis can be regarded as a kind of promotion.

"Send someone to Guzang as soon as possible, and bring those three sweaty horses to me first, and the two uncles will love it when they see it." Liu Chan got up, waved his hand, and said, "Retreat." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Report~" Just as Liu Chan was about to retreat from the court, a long hiss suddenly came from outside the tent, and a small yellow door walked quickly to the outside of the hall, bowed down to the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the general is critically ill!" ”

"What!?" When Liu Chan heard this, his face changed.

"Report~" Just before everyone could react, another little yellow door rushed to the outside of the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the son of the hussar general, Yangwei General Zhang Bao came to report, the hussar general is critically ill!" ”

"Poof~" Liu Chan sat down on the throne weakly, looked out of the hall with his eyes distracted, and after a while, he suddenly got up and said, "Quick, go to the General's Mansion!" ”
