The way the ministers of Juyan calculated the rice grains was a bit primitive, and they actually counted one by one. A month later, the agreed deadline had arrived. It was the end of the year. Early in the morning, many enthusiasts had gathered outside the Juyan Palace. The two hundred guards brought by Liu Yi were fully armed and came to Juyan Palace with Liu Yi.

"Have you calculated it?" Liu Yi looked at King Juyan with a pale face and asked with a smile.

"This..." King Juyan's forehead kept oozing cold sweat. He looked at Liu Yi and showed a bitter smile on his face: "Can Sikong be lenient for a while?"

"I'll teach you how to calculate." Liu Yi looked at the other party and said, "There are about 15 million grains of corn in one stone. According to this calculation, you only need to calculate how many grains of rice there are, and then give it to me."

"This..." King Juyan looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile, and then looked at the fully armed Han soldiers around him. He was obviously ready to seize power violently. The surrounding high ground had been controlled, and crossbow arrows were aimed at this side.

In the end, as if he had lost all his energy, King Juyan said dejectedly: "Xiao Wang... is willing to join the whole country as a great man, but can Cheliji go around the net?"

"If you intend to assassinate the Han envoy, you can forgive me. Where is the majesty of my great Han in the Western Regions in the future? Who can guarantee the safety of the Han envoys?" Liu Yi walked straight towards the palace, and his voice came from afar: "Don't blame King Juyan, you can't save his life!"

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

Juyan completely surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and no longer had Juyan Kingdom, but was called Juyan County. Liu Yi ordered people to send Juyan King to Wuwei, so that Zhang Yuan could be placed well and not be too slow. At the same time, he gathered the copper collected in the palace to mint coins. From today on, Juyancheng will no longer use goods, but use Wuzhu coins as currency to regulate the market. That is, countries in the Western Regions come to trade. They can use goods, but if they want to buy porcelain and silk here, they must use Wuzhu coins, otherwise they will not be charged.

After the beginning of spring, Liu Yi led his people to dig ditches, diversion and irrigation, plan fertile fields and pastures, and teach the people of Juyan to make manure. In March of the third year of Xingyuan, Liu Yi built water trucks on the bank of the weak water, and at the same time built cement plants, glazed plants, and smelting plants one after another near the sand sea. He began to look for drought-tolerant plants to try to cultivate them in order to see if the environment in Juyan area can be improved. Not to mention the desert removal, at least the environment in Juyan needs to be improved. As for the reconstruction of Juyan, the people's hearts have not yet fully accepted. Although Liu Yi is planning, he has not started construction and is preparing to do it after the winter this year. The work must be done well in advance.

After May, Liu Yi began to set up stations at both ends of the desert, leading people to build a large number of sand sleds. At the same time, he began to build wooden tracks along the water, leading to the weak water, and then arrived from the weak water to Juyan. Although it was a little longer and more laborious, there were tracks connected, so that 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. It is expected that it will not be able to pass at least the end of the year.

In June, it was hot summer, and the Glazing Factory finally produced the first batch of glass.

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

Looking at the first batch of glass he made, Liu Yi tried it. Needless to say, the light transmittance and transparency are, but it is like ordinary glass, which is fragile.

Even if this characteristic is blessed with attributes, it is difficult to achieve much improvement. Liu Yi has made some porcelains with attributes before, but even if they have strength attributes, they still cannot withstand the ruthlessness, and are only stronger than ordinary porcelains.

There is no way to find a comparison in this regard, so Liu Yi didn't know how different the batch of glass he made was than ordinary glass in his previous life. However, in terms of light transmission, glass with attributes is naturally more transparent. If you don't stand it and look at it carefully, it will be easily overlooked.

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

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

Glazing, whether in the Western Regions or the Central Plains, is a precious thing. Many glassware is priceless, but now they are made of a pile of sand and stone, which makes people feel unreal.

"Make it into windows, and when Juyancheng is rebuilt at the end of the year, you will use this as a window." Liu Yi grinned. Although it was a thing that was a big street in later generations, in this era, it was a price that could be sold for gold: "In addition, fire some utensils, and after a while, Mi Wei will come, he will use these utensils to sell to the Western Regions countries."

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

With the first batch of successes, with the proficiency of craftsmanship, more and more patterns were made, including glass cups, glass ornaments, glass wine utensils, etc. Although the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions in summer is large, it is precisely because of this that merchants from various countries frequently communicate. Juyancheng is an important hub leading to the Han Dynasty and grasslands. At this time of year, there are the most merchants coming and going.

At this time, some glassware was taken out to sell, which brought Liu Yi a lot of copper, and then it was cast into Wuzhu coins. At the same time, in addition to the already out of control, Wuzhu coins, Wuzhu coins also began to be charged only Wuzhu coins in accordance with Liu Yi's order, and Wuzhu coins began to be circulated among merchants in various countries in the Western Regions.

At the end of August, Liu Yi began to organize people to take the people to a temporary camp built outside the city to prepare for the winter. At the same time, he summoned the people of Juyan to knock down the old city and began to prepare for the construction of a new city.

Juyancheng is just a border hub, so naturally it does not need to be as perfect as Chang'an and Luoyang. It has expanded its scale, but it is also built according to the size of the county town. It is too large and it is not suitable for it. It will occupy arable land and pastures. This place is not a big man, and arable land is very precious.

The foundation was dug and the city was built in September. In October, the city walls were built, and the city wall was two or three meters high. It was considered good in this border area.

Starting from November, houses in the new city began to be completed, and people outside the city began to move in. Unlike the new city of Dahan, the foundation of Juyan City was not as strong as the big city of Dahan, and the water resources were not abundant. The tallest building in the city was only three floors. The entire city could accommodate up to tens of thousands of households. It was built according to the scale of a large county, with special markets for various countries to conduct transactions.

A large number of glass windows are put into use, giving people a cross-age feeling.

In December, with the completion of Juyan Academy, Liu Yi began to issue regulations that children of meritorious soldiers could enter school and learn various knowledge. The original soldiers of Juyan City, released prisoners and those who signed up for the army, Liu Yi recruited two thousand soldiers in Juyan City.

...

In the fourth year of Xingyuan, early February.

Chang'an, the palace.

"In the first month of the fourth year of Xingyuan, Liu Yi took Wei Chang and Wei Rong as generals and led 1,000 Juyan troops and 2,000 Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan counties to join, a total of 3,000 people attacked Dunhuang, three battles and three victories, invaded Dunhuang, killed the main generals of the rebels, and surrendered more than 4,000 rebels in Dunhuang. He expressed his hope that the court would send corresponding officials and generals to take over the military and political power of various places as soon as possible. In addition, Sikong also sent a batch of glassware, saying that it had been studied

The method of refining glass with sand and stone is now sold to countries in the Western Regions for a large amount of copper ore. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 340 million coins have been minted. Among them, Tiangongfang has been put into use for 210 million yuan per month, and the remaining 130 million yuan is used to purchase copper and jade from various countries. Most of the jadeware has been sent to Chang'an. As for copper coins, Sikongyan wants to use this to make all countries in the Western Regions use Wuzhu coins as circulating currency, and now it has been quite effective in trial operation."

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

"Why don't you recite it?" Liu Chan felt so happy when he heard this, he frowned and looked at Huang Hao.

"Here!" Huang Hao nodded quickly, and then continued to recite: "In addition, Sikong exchanged glassware for good horses from all over the Western Regions, including three sweat and blood horses, one thousand six hundred and seventy-one Dayuan foals, and more than ten thousand war horses of various types. Now they are now kept in a ranch in the Guzang area. Please allow the court to distribute it."

"Okay!" Liu Chan slapped the table and laughed. Although the man had a source of horses now, these ten thousand war horses were not a small number, not to mention that there were also bloody horses. The red rabbit horses of Dayuan were all bloody horses at that time. They got three horses at once. Although they might not be really like red rabbits, they would not be too bad.

"At the beginning of this year, Sikong will give me a great gift! OK!" Liu Chan looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "I passed on my edict, and I would like to grant Sikong Liu Yi the Marquis of Yueyang, with a fief of ten thousand households and a reward of ten thousand gold. The power of coins in the Western Regions was temporarily under the control of Sikong. He was promoted to Wei Chang and Wei Rong as the cavalry commander, and each rewarded 100 gold. The craftsmen in the Western Regions of Tiangongfang all had rewards 100 gold."

When the ministers heard this, although they were jealous, they had no choice but to do anything. Liu Yi made too much contribution to this trip to the Western Regions, and it was only one of the third Duke, so it was difficult to be granted again. The promotion of Mo Hou to Yueyang Hou was also a kind of promotion.

"Come to Guzang as soon as possible and bring the three sweaty and blood horses to me first. After seeing this, the two uncles will definitely like it." Liu Chan stood up and waved his hand, "Get out of court."

"I am proud to send you my Majesty!" The ministers hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Report~" Just as Liu Chan was about to retreat, a long hiss suddenly came from outside the tent. A small yellow gate walked quickly outside the hall in a hurry and bowed to the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the general is critically ill!"

"What!?" Liu Chan's expression changed when he heard this.

"Report~" Before everyone could react, another little yellow gate rushed out of the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the son of General Yang Wei, General Yang Wei, came to report that General Huang Kai is critically ill!"

"Puff~" Liu Chan sat down on the throne weakly, looked out of the hall with his eyes dazed. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and said, "Hurry up, go to the general's mansion!"
