Chapter 211 Liu Bei arrives

The winter in the south is fast, but even early spring is still very cold, especially when it falls not long ago, which is not too heavy and not too small. Although it melts quickly, the temperature does not rise but falls. Liu Yi likes the current new city very much. Although there are not many people, he has a quietness that is independent of the world. He himself has the kind of personality that likes quiet but does not like movement.

The window screen was a little tide. Liu Yi sat on the rocking chair, playing with a few crystal clear beads in his hand, frowned and thought about something.

Little Liu Ming lay in his arms, staring at the beads in Liu Yi's hand with black eyes. His little hands stretched out from time to time to grab the beads, but Liu Yi's fingers were quite flexible. Several beads were circling between his fingers. Little Liu Ming grabbed them with both hands, but he didn't catch any one.

"Ah~" After spending a long time of hard work, Xiao Liuming sat in Liu Yi's chest, stared at his father in dissatisfaction, opened his mouth and made a strange scream.

"Husband." Lu Lingqi looked at the father and daughter with some amusement. Seeing that her daughter was so anxious that she was almost crying, she couldn't help but say angrily: "You just let her play with it."

"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 you call him dad."

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

"Then don't take it." Lu Lingqi said with some regret: "You have a good eight-treasure glass lamp."

"This is not a glass." Liu Yi shook his head: "Of course, it can be said that it is, but it is not natural."

"Can this glass be made?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi in confusion.

"Try it in a while, I'll look for some ancient books." Liu Yi shook his head. He was not sure if it could be made. He didn't understand the composition of glass clearly. However, according to the ancient books he had read during this period, this kind of artificial glass or glass had begun to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period, but not many of them. It should be an accessory when something was burned. It is not clear when it began to appear. But obviously, the craftsmen at that time did not really study the formation of this thing.

Liu Yi always thought that glass was invented by foreigners first, but in fact, if you want to say the earliest discovery, you really can't say who it was. Because it was an accessory, there are not many records in ancient books. It is impossible to detect when it was discovered. However, in the information currently available, this thing has been found in the antiques that appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, it doesn't matter who discovers it. What matters is that who actually starts to produce and put this thing into use on a large scale. In this regard, China is undoubtedly behind the world.

Liu Yi had thought about making glass before, but it was useless. He didn't know the ingredients and was difficult to start, but now it is different. Since this kind of thing had appeared in ancient times, there were historical materials to check, even if there was no clear record of how it was made, as long as there was a pulse to follow, Liu Yi would have the confidence to figure it out by himself.

Even if you can’t make so many tricks, it’s good to make ordinary flat glass, glassware. You just don’t know what attributes the glassware you make will have, and is it considered something in the forging skills?

Even if you have another skill, as long as you do it, you will have a lot of money!

Liu Yi remembered that someone said in his previous life that many profiteers in the Middle Ages ran around the world with glass beads to exchange for gold, and they also played with this set. Due to the navigation industry, they could not run so far. However, if Liu Bei could destroy Cao Cao in his lifetime, he could try whether he could open a stable channel to Japan. Attacking was unnecessary and it was difficult to manage to capture it, but it was feasible to exchange glass beads for the other party's rare resources.

Hopefully there will be one day!

Liu Yi turned his hand and turned into magic, and the beads disappeared in his hand.

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

"You are cheating!" Liu Yi looked at his daughter crying loudly in his arms, looking speechless.

Lu Lingqi was even more speechless. She picked up Xiao Liu Ming from her arms, looked at Liu Yi with a angrily voice and said, "If you don't give it to her, you won't take it out."

"Blame me~" Liu Yi sighed and thought for a while and said, "How about you bring Wangcai's dog son to play with her?"

He remembered that Xiao Liuming liked to tease Wangcai's son for nothing, which made Wangcai run away when he saw Xiao Liuming crawling out.

Lu Lingqi said with a funny look: "Then go and talk to Wangcai."

Liu Yi just said casually that Wangcai has followed him since he was a child, loyally protecting his master, and helped him train the dogs in Zhuangzi. If he really wanted to do this, Liu Yi really couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "Then let's be a mechanical dog for her."

The couple said this in a mess, while coaxing Xiao Liuming, and finally coaxed the little ancestor to fall asleep. Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lu Lingqi, "I really hope I can grow up soon. Then build a kindergarten, I will be the owner, and gather all the little babies in the city. That's interesting."

"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 feel that watching her grow up day by day, become sensible, and then get married in the future..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yi sighed and looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "Madam, why don't we have another one next year."

When I think of my precious daughter becoming someone else's wife in the future, I feel a sense of discomfort. It seems that I have to have another one to comfort my heart.

"Not doing it right~" Lu Lingqi's overseas Chinese Federation was slightly red, and she angrily looked at him, turned around and ignored him.

"Master of the Family." The maid Xiaohuan came up from downstairs and bowed to Liu Yi and said, "The guard Chen Ergou had just come to report that the Emperor's fleet had arrived outside the city."

"Oh?" Liu Yi stood up from the rocking chair and smiled, "It's so fast, ma'am, tonight, get the things I prepared a few days ago. If a guest comes tonight, maybe he will bring his family with him. Then the wife will help me receive it."

If he was not going to hold a big banquet, there were not so many people in this new city. This time, Liu Bei only brought his family and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others to see the new city. Liu Yi just wrote a letter to Cui Zhouping here and prepared to hold a small banquet.

"Don't worry, husband." Lu Lingqi nodded. She was familiar with these occasions, not to mention that Deng was talking about it, not to mention that she was not afraid of chaos.

Liu Yi put on his clothes under the service of Lu Lingqi and Xiaohuan, went straight into Yunfang, followed Yunfang to the downstairs, and Chen Ergou was already waiting there.

His house is not far from the Shuizhai. He had arrived outside the Shuizhai for a while. Liu Yi asked while walking, "Did you notify Brother Zhouping?"

"People have been sent to notify me." Chen Ergou nodded.

I guess I won't come.

Liu Yi nodded. With his understanding of Cui Zhouping, unless Liu Bei can take over Yizhou and defend Jingzhou, he will not be able to become an official in Liu Bei. But at that time, did Liu Bei still lack a Cui Zhouping?

Alas, a headache!

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

"Boyuan is here just in time. Come on, let's upload it together and go to pick up your brother!" Zhang Fei didn't say much when he saw Liu Yi coming, so he pulled Liu Yi away without saying anything.

"Slow down." Liu Yi said a little amused, but he also sighed. The relationship between the three brothers is really strong. He was so excited that he had not seen each other for less than two years.

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

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

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

In Liu Bei's memory, even Xuchang was not of this scale at the beginning.

"Hey, brother, I don't know, this is just the surface. Under this city, there is a 4-meter-long basement. In Bo Yuan's words, you can hoard food and supplies. If someone attacks in the future, the city will be sealed, which will be enough to support the population of a city for several years." Zhang Fei said proudly.

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

Guan Yu, who was standing beside him, frowned and said, "Have Bo Yuan ever thought about how to defend such a big city? And what is the purpose of setting up a city here?"

He was not making things difficult for Liu Yi, but he felt that it was a waste and no need to spend time and effort on building such a large city in such a place.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who were standing by, did not speak. When they met at the police, Liu Yi had already explained that when they saw this city, they basically understood that this city was prepared to resist Jiangdong.

Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and smiled and said, "This matter will be explained one by one later. If the lord is nothing, Yi can take the lord to tour the city wall. How about it, can he order people to send your family back to the city first?"

Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "Okay, I just watched Bo Yuan's method."

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered people to send everyone's family into the city first. Under the leadership of Liu Yi and Zhang Fei, he led Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun into the water camp, but did not take the stairs. Instead, under the leadership of Liu Yi, he entered the city and then went to a small gate below the city wall.

"I'll do it!" Zhang Fei rushed in front of Liu Yi with some excitement, came to the rocker, pulled down the rocker, looked at the slowly opened wooden door, and said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "Brother, second brother, this is the cloud room. When you walk here, you can go straight to the city wall."
