Winter goes fast in the south, but even in early spring, it is very cold, especially not long ago when there was a small snowfall, although it melted quickly, but the temperature did not rise but fell, Liu Yi really likes the current new city, although there are no people, but there is a quiet independent of the world, he himself is the kind of character who likes to be quiet and does not like to move.

The window screen was a little damp, Liu Yi sat in a rocking chair, playing with a few crystal clear beads in his hand, frowning and thinking about something.

Xiao Liu Ming was lying in his arms, staring at a few beads in Liu Yi's hands with a pair of dark eyes, his little hands stretched out from time to time, wanting to grab those beads, but Liu Yi's fingers were quite flexible, a few beads were turning between his fingers, and Xiao Liu Ming grabbed them with both hands, but he didn't catch any of them.

"Huh~" After Xiao Liu Ming's efforts for a long time were still in vain, he sat on Liu Yi's chest, glared at his father dissatisfied, and opened his mouth to make a strange babbling sound.

"Husband." Lu Lingqi looked at the father and daughter with some amusement, and when she saw that her daughter was about to cry, she couldn't help but say angrily: "You just play with her." ”

"What if she swallows it?" Liu Yi shook his head, glanced at his daughter, and said with a wicked smile: "I'll give it to you if I call my father." ”

"Wow~" Little Liu Ming, who was only half a year old, naturally didn't know what his father was talking about, so he continued to reach out to grab it, but saw Liu Yi's fingers move, the beads changed positions, and they grabbed it again.

"Then don't bring it." Lu Lingqi said with some regret: "I used the Eight Treasures Glass Lantern well, but it was dismantled by you." ”

"It's not glass." Liu Yi shook his head: "Of course, it can also be said, but it is not natural. ”

"Can this glass still be made?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.

"Let's try it later, and I'll look for some ancient books." Liu Yi shook his head, he wasn't sure if he could make it, he didn't know the composition of the glass, but according to the ancient books he had read during this time, this kind of artificially made glass or colored glass had begun to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period, but there were not many, it should be an accessory that appeared when something was fired, and it was impossible to know when it began to appear, but obviously, the craftsmen at that time did not really study the formation of this thing.

Liu Yi has always thought that glass was invented by foreigners first, but in fact, if you want to say that it was first discovered, it is really impossible to say who it is, because it is an accessory, there are not many records in the ancient books, and it is impossible to investigate when it was discovered, but in the information currently available, there has been this thing in the antiquities that appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, it doesn't matter who discovered it, what matters is who actually started to produce and put it into use on a large scale, and in this regard, China is undoubtedly lagging behind the world.

Liu Yi also thought about making glass before, but it was useless, he didn't know the ingredients, it was not easy to start, but now it is different, since this kind of thing has appeared in ancient times, there are historical materials to check, even if there is no clear record of how it was made, but as long as there is a pulse to follow, Liu Yi has the confidence to figure it out by himself.

Even if you can't make so many tricks, you can make ordinary flat glass, and glassware is good, but I don't know what kind of properties the glassware you make will have, and whether it is considered a thing in the forging skills?

Even if you open another skill, as long as you make it, it will be a lot of money!

Liu Yi remembered that someone in his previous life said that in the Middle Ages, many profiteers ran around the world with glass beads to exchange for gold, and they also played this set themselves, limited to the navigation industry, and they couldn't run that far, but if the Western Regions, Cao Wei, Eastern Wu and even the weak Liu Bei could destroy Cao Cao in his lifetime, he could try to open a stable channel to Dongying, it was not necessary to attack, and it was not easy to manage, but it was feasible to exchange glass beads for the rare resources of the other party.

I hope there will be a day!

As soon as Liu Yi backhanded, it was like magic, and the beads disappeared in his hand.

Xiao Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yi's palm, looked left and right, and then his mouth was flattened, and he cried with a wow, crying without warning.

"You're a fool!" Liu Yi looked at his daughter who was crying in his arms, speechless.

Lu Lingqi was even more speechless, picked up Xiao Liu Ming from her arms, glanced at Liu Yi with disgust, and said, "If the husband doesn't give it to her, don't take it out." ”

"Blame me~" Liu Yi sighed and thought for a while: "How about bringing Wangcai's dog son to play with her?" ”

He remembered that Xiao Liu Ming had nothing to do and liked to flirt with Wangcai's dog son, so Wangcai now ran away as soon as he saw Xiao Liu Ming crawl out and hold his child.

Lu Lingqi said with a smile: "Then you go and talk to Wangcai." ”

Liu Yi also casually said that Wangcai had followed him since he was a child, loyally protected the master, and helped him train the dog to watch Zhuangzi, if he really wanted to do this, Liu Yi really couldn't bear it, thought about it and smiled: "Then make a trap dog for her." ”

The two of them said this without a match, while coaxing little Liu Ming, and finally coaxed the little ancestor to sleep, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Lu Lingqi: "I really hope to grow up quickly, and when the time comes, I will build a kindergarten, I will be the owner of the garden, and gather all the little dolls in the city, that is interesting." ”

"Husband, do you just think the child is fun?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi speechlessly.

"This ......" Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just think that watching her grow up day by day, sensible, and then marry in the future......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yi sighed, looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "Madam, let's have another one in the unknown year." ”

When I think of my baby daughter becoming someone else's daughter-in-law in the future, I feel a feeling that it is not a taste, and it seems that I have to have another one to comfort my soul.

"It's not right~" Lu Lingqi Qiaolian blushed slightly, glanced at him fiercely, turned around, and ignored him.

"The head of the house." The maid Xiaohuan came up from downstairs, bowed to Liu Yi and said, "The guard Chen Ergou just came to report that Uncle Huang's fleet has arrived outside the city. ”

"Oh?" When Liu Yi heard this, he got up from the rocking chair and said with a smile: "It's really fast, madam, tonight I will get the things I prepared a few days ago, there are guests coming tonight, maybe I will bring my family, and Mrs. will help me receive it then." ”

Don't prepare for a big banquet, there are not so many people in this new city, Liu Bei only brought his family and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others to see the new city this time, Liu Yi just wrote to Cui Zhouping to come here, ready to set up a small banquet.

"Don't worry, husband." Lu Lingqi nodded, she was no stranger to these occasions, not to mention that there was also the Deng family on the side, she was not afraid of chaos.

Liu Yi got dressed under the service of Lu Lingqi and Xiaohuan, went directly into the cloud room, and followed the cloud room to the downstairs, where Chen Ergou was already waiting.

His house is not far from the water village, and he has already arrived outside the water village when he goes out for a short time, Liu Yi asked as he walked: "Have you notified Brother Zhou Ping?" ”

"Someone has been informed." Chen Ergou nodded.

It is estimated that it will not come.

Liu Yi nodded, with his understanding of Cui Zhouping, unless Liu Bei can take Yizhou and hold Jingzhou at the same time, it is impossible for him to be Liu Bei, but at that time, Liu Bei still lacks a Cui Zhouping?

Alas, a headache!

When he came to the water village with the guards, Zhang Fei was already waiting there with people, and his expression was a little excited.

"Bo Yuan came just in time, quickly, I'll upload it together and pick up my brother!" When Zhang Fei saw Liu Yi coming, he didn't say much, and directly pulled Liu Yi away.

"Slow down." Liu Yi was a little funny, but he also sighed a little, the relationship between the three brothers is really iron, and they have not seen each other for less than two years, and they can be excited like this.

The two boarded a fast boat, Chen Ergou rowed the boat himself, and soon came to the direction of the center of the lake to meet Liu Bei's fleet.

"Yi has seen the lord." After the three brothers were excited, Liu Yi smiled and saluted Liu Bei.

"Bo Yuan, this is the new city you built?" Liu Bei stretched out his hand, helped Liu Yi up, looked at the city in front of him and exclaimed a little.

In Liu Bei's memory, even Xuchang did not have such a scale at the beginning.

"Hey, brother doesn't know, this is just the surface, under this city, there is a four-zhang deep basement, in Bo Yuan's words, you can hoard grain and grass materials, if someone comes to attack him one day, the city will be sealed, and it will be enough to feed the population of a city for several years." Zhang Fei said with some pride.

"It's still empty, this city can accommodate 200,000 people, but right now, it's still an empty city." Liu Yi said with a smile.

Guan Yu on the side frowned when he heard this: "Has Bo Yuan ever thought about how to defend such a big city?" And what is the purpose of establishing a city here? ”

He didn't embarrass Liu Yi, he just felt that it was a waste of time and effort to build such a large city in such a place, and it was unnecessary.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong on the side did not speak, when they got together in the public security, Liu Yi had already explained, and now that they see this city, the two have basically understood that this city is prepared to resist Jiangdong.

Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile: "This matter, explain it one by one later, if the lord is fine, Yi can take the lord to visit the city wall, but how about ordering someone to send your family members back to the city first?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I just happened to take a look at Boyuan's methods." ”

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered people to send all the families into the city first, and under the leadership of Liu Yi and Zhang Fei, he took Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun into the water village, but did not take the stairs, but under the leadership of Liu Yi, after entering the city, he came to a small gate under the city wall.

"I'm coming!" Zhang Fei grabbed in front of Liu Yi with some excitement, came to the rocker, pulled down the rocker, looked at the slowly opening wooden door, and said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "Big brother, second brother, this is the cloud room, go here, you can go straight to the top of the city wall." ”

Everyone looked at the hut called the cloud house in front of them with some curiosity, and entered it under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Liu Yi.
