Vol 2 Chapter 607: Good news and bad news

The ministers of Juyan were somewhat primitive in calculating the grains of rice, and actually counted them one by one. After a month, the agreed period had expired. At this time, it was the year, and early in the morning, many good people had gathered in the palace of Juyan In addition, the two hundred guards brought by Liu Yi came to Juyan Palace with Liu Yi.
"Are you well?" Liu Yi asked, looking at Ju Yan, who was pale.
"This ..." Juyan Wang's forehead kept exuding cold sweat, looking at Liu Yi, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Can Si Kong be allowed some time?"
"I'll teach you how to count." Liu Yi looked at each other and said: "One stone is about 15 million grains of corn. According to this calculation, you only need to figure out how many grains of rice, and then come to me."
"This ..." King Ju Yan looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile, and then looked at the armed Han soldiers around him. He was clearly prepared for the violent seizure of power. The highlands around him had been controlled. This way.
In the end, as if all the spirits were lost, Juyan Wang resignedly said: "Xiao Wang ... willing to return to the Han Dynasty, but is it possible for Cheliji to open the net?"
"If the intention to assassinate the Han Envoy can be pardoned, in the future in the Western Regions, where is the majesty of my Han? Who will protect the safety of the Han Envoy?" Liu Yi walked directly to the direction of the palace, and the voice came from far: "Ju Yan Wangmo wants to make a mistake, you can't guarantee his life! "
"..." King Ju Yan opened his mouth and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
Ju Yan is now completely attached to the Han, no longer has Ju Yan Kingdom, but is referred to as Ju Yan County. Liu Yi ordered people to send King Ju Yan to Wuwei for Zhang Yuan to settle in, not to wait, but also to collect it in the palace. Copper has gathered to mint coins, and from today onwards in Yancheng, it no longer uses barter, but uses five baht as the currency to regulate the market. Countries in the Western Regions do business. They can trade barter, but they want to buy it. The porcelain and satin here must use five baht, otherwise they will not be charged.
After the spring, Liu Yi led people to live in Yanze and began to dig ditches, drain irrigation, plan good fields and pastures, teach the Yanyan people to make manure, Xingyuan three years in March, Liu Yi built a waterwheel beside the weak water, while in the sand Cement plants, glaze plants, and smelters were successively constructed near the sea, and began to look for drought-tolerant plants to try to cultivate the enemy to see if they could improve the environment around Juyan, not to mention the removal of the desert, but at least let Juyan There is some improvement in the environment here. As for the reconstruction of Juyan, the people's hearts have not yet been fully attached. Although Liu Yi is planning, he has not started construction. He plans to start after the winter this year, and the preliminary work is done well.
After May, Liu Yi began to set up post stations at both ends of the desert, taking people to build a large number of sand sleds, and at the same time began to build wooden tracks along the Huishui until it reached the weak water, and then reached the Juyan from the weak water, although long It takes a little more effort, but it is connected by rails, so that the connection between Juyan and the Han cities will be closer.
However, the speed will be much slower, but the manpower here cannot be compared with the Han Dynasty. It is expected that it will only be able to pass through at the end of the year.
In June, during the hot summer, the Liuli 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 made by himself, Liu Yi tried it. The light transmission and transparency needless to say, but like ordinary glass, it is fragile.
This feature is difficult to get much improvement even if it has attribute blessing. Liu Yi has made some porcelain with attributes before, but even if it has strength attributes, it still can't stand the ruthlessness, but it is only stronger than ordinary porcelain.
And glass ca n’t find a comparison in this respect, so Liu Yi does n’t know how much this batch of glass he made is different from the ordinary glass of previous generations, but in terms of light transmission, the glass with attribute blessing is naturally more translucent If you do n’t pay attention when you stand up, it is easy to be ignored.
With this, your own telescope can be mass produced.
"Sikong, these glazes ..." A group of craftsmen watched the sand gradually become crystal clear glazes in their hands, and their excitement was naturally beyond description.
The glaze, whether it is in the Western Regions or the Central Plains, is a precious thing. Many glaze wares are valuable, but now they are made with a pile of sand and stones, which makes people feel unreal.
"It is made into a window, and it will be used as a window when Juyancheng is rebuilt at the end of the year." Liu Yi grinned. Although it is something of a bad street in later generations, in this era, this is the price at which gold can be sold. : "Some other utensils were fired, and after some time Mi Wei came, let him take these utensils to sell in the Western Regions."
Glass must be mass-produced, and will depreciate in the future, but this does not prevent a large sum of money from taking advantage of the information asymmetry and replacing these glazes with copper or even gold, jade and war horses.
With the success of the first batch, with the proficiency of the craft, more and more patterns were made, such as glasses, glass ornaments, glass wine utensils, etc. Although the temperature difference between the day and night in the Western Region of summer is large, it is precisely As a result, businessmen from all over the world have frequent exchanges, and Juyancheng serves as an important hub to Dahan and the grasslands. At this time of year, most businessmen come and go.
At this time, some glazed utensils were sold, and a large amount of copper was exchanged for Liu Yi, which was then cast into five baht. In addition to Dunhuang, which had been out of control, Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan also followed the orders of Liu Yi. Only five bahts were accepted, and five bahts began to circulate among the merchants in the Western Regions.
At the end of August, Liu Yi began to organize people to take people to temporary camps built outside the city to prepare for the winter. At the same time, they also called Juyan people to overthrow the old city and start preparing for the construction of a new city.
Juyan City is just a border hub, naturally it does not need to be as perfect as Changan and Luoyang, and its scale has been expanded somewhat, but it is also built according to the scale of the county. It is too large and unsuitable, it will occupy the land of arable land and pasture. This is not the place Dahan, cultivated land is very precious.
In September, the foundation was excavated and the city was built. The city was built in October. The city walls are two to three feet high. In this place, it is considered good.
Starting in November, the housing of the New City began to be completed continuously, and people outside the city began to move in. Unlike tall buildings built in the Han Dynasty, the foundation of Yancheng was not as strong as the Han City Pool, and the water resources were not rich. The tallest in the city The building is only three floors, and the entire city can accommodate up to 10,000 households. It is considered to be built according to the scale of a large county, and there are special square cities for countries to conduct transactions.
A large number of glass windows are put into use, giving people a feeling of crossing the times.
In December, with the completion of Juyan College, Liu Yi began to promulgate a decree that the children of meritorious scholars can enter school and learn all kinds of knowledge. The original soldiers in Juyan City plus the released prisoners and people who signed up to join the army, Liu Yi is living in Yancheng recruited two thousand soldiers and horses.
...
Xingyuan four years, early February.
Changan, the palace.
"In the first month of the four years of Xingyuan, Liu Yi led Weichang and Wei Rong and led a thousand-home martial arts horses and two thousand martial artists from Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan. A total of 3,000 people invaded Dunhuang. Sanjie, attacked Dunhuang, beheaded the rebel generals, and surrendered more than 4,000 Dunhuang rebels. I hope that the court will send the corresponding officials to take over the military and political powers as soon as possible. In addition, Sikong also sent a batch of glassware, saying it was already Researched the method of refining glaze with sand and stone. Nowadays, it is sold to various countries in the Western Region in exchange for a large amount of copper mines. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 340 million coins have been minted, of which Tiangongfang has been put into use for 210 million per month. Million, and the remaining 130 million is used to buy copper and jade from various countries. Most of the jade has been sent to Chang'an. As for the copper coins, Si Kongyan wants to use the five baht as the currency for all countries in the Western Regions. Quite effective. "
Huang Haonian's mouth was dry. He paused here and glanced at Liu Chan.
"Why don't you read it?" Liu Chan heard it straight and frowned and looked at Huang Hao.
"Hello!" Huang Hao nodded quickly, and then continued to say: "In addition, Sikong exchanged glazed vessels for good horses from all over the Western Regions, including three sweaty horses, and 1,671 horses from Dawan. EbookFREE.me ~ There are more than 10,000 war horses of all kinds, and they are now housed in the pastures of Guzang area. Please distribute them to the court. "
"Okay!" Liu Chan laughed at the table shooting. Although the Dahan now has a horse source, but 10,000 horses are not a small number, not to mention the level of sweating horses and Dawanliang horses. The red rabbit horse is a sweat horse. This time I won three horses. Although it may not really be like the red rabbit, it is not too bad.
"In this opening year, Sikong will send me a big gift! Good!" Liu Chan looked at the group and smiled: "According to my edict, the seal of Sikong Liuyi is a Yueyanghou, a tenant of Yiyi, a reward, and a coin of the Western Region. The power is temporarily controlled by Si Kong, and Wei Chang and Wei Rong are promoted to captains of the capital, each rewarding 100 gold, and the craftsmen in the Western Region of Tiangongfang all receive 100 gold. "
Qunchen heard that although he was jealous, he was helpless. Liu Yi ’s trip to the Western Regions made too much credit, but he was ranked third, and it was already difficult to re-enclose it. Moving Mohou to Yueyanghou was also considered A kind of promotion.
"Let someone go to Tibet as soon as possible, first bring the three sweaty horses to me, and the two uncles will love it when they see it." Liu Chan got up and waved, "Retreat."
"Chen waits to give His Majesty!" Qunchen quickly bowed to salute.
"Report ~" Just as Liu Chan was about to retreat, there was a long hissing from outside the account, and a small yellow door walked quickly outside the hall with a small and quick step, and bowed to the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty , General is critically ill! "
"What !?" Liu Chan said, his face changed.
"Report ~" Just before the crowd had responded, another small yellow gate hurried out of the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the son of General Qiqi, General Yang Wei Zhang Bao came to report, General Qiqi is in critical condition! "
"Pooh ~" Liu Chan sat down on the throne weakly, looking out of the temple with a loss of eyes. After a moment, he suddenly got up and said: "Go to the General's Mansion!"
