Liu Yi has experienced too much in this life, including Liu Bei's death, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. This time, Wangcai died. Liu Yi felt very uncomfortable, but his emotions did not fluctuate. After all, for a dog, being able to live for thirty years is considered a long life.

In this snowy weather, Liu Yi built a shack under the castle and helped Wangcai build a tomb.

Although it was cold and cold, Lu Lingqi was always by Liu Yi's side. Even after leaving the castle, the temperature suddenly dropped, she was always by Liu Yi's side.

Until the grave was built and Wangcai was buried, Lu Lingqi leaned against Liu Yi and said, "My husband, don't be too sad. It's actually very good for Wangcai."

"Yes." Liu Yi touched the tombstone and smiled: "Wangcai has been with me for thirty years. For him, our family may be its life."

Although he was smiling, his eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes. Wangcai was still a puppy back then, and Liu Yi was just a little craftsman nesting in Wolonggang. In this flash, thirty years have passed.

Liu Yi suddenly looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "When things happen here, my wife will accompany me to Wolonggang."

In this world, Liu Yi always felt that he had no hometown, but at this moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​going back to Wolonggang to take a look. After all, it has been more than 30 years. I wonder how many people I met back then are still alive? There are still a few who are still in Wolonggang. In short, it can be considered half of his hometown.

"Yes." Lu Lingqi nodded gently and responded.

This snow in Dayuan has been falling for several days, which is actually a good phenomenon. Does auspicious snow indicate a good harvest? For the people, even if life is a little harder, at least there is hope.

The people of Dayuan have gradually settled down and have begun to gradually accept the rule of the Han people. Although both sides do not understand the language, this senior Han official has indeed been working for everyone. He had promised that the annual tax burden would be reduced by half. Although many people do not think this is true, they have some hope in their hearts.

Some people with agility began to actively learn Chinese because this may be the mainstream in Dayuan in the future. Dayuan built a special academies, and there were people there who specialized in teaching Chinese. However, the teachers were not Han people, but Dayuan people who were specially selected by Liu Yi and could speak Chinese.

In the winter of the tenth year of Xingyuan, the people of Kangju launched a tentative attack and were killed by Luther.

In December, Kangju sent an envoy to blame him and demand compensation. Liu Yi ordered someone to behead him and collected and hung in the most conspicuous place.

After learning the news, King Kangju was furious and personally led his troops to attack. He was defeated by Liu Yi on the banks of the Gui River. This time, Liu Yi showed a different coldness from the past. Thirty thousand Kangju surrendered soldiers were killed by Liu Yi. King Kangju was captured alive and sent back to Chang'an. At the end of December, Liu Yi selected a Kangju nobleman who knew Chinese and was kind to the great Han Dynasty as Kangju King.

At this point, the name of the Han Dynasty began to attract Kangju, Kushan and other places. The two countries did not dare to come to seek trouble again. At the same time, the people's hearts gradually surrendered to the Dayuan land.

Before the Great Wall was launched, Liu Yi built several small towns in Dayuan, which were specially designed for merchants from all over the country to rest. As the gateway to the west of the Han Dynasty and an important trading city, Liu Yi maintained an encouragement towards business, but on the other hand, he attached great importance to commercial taxes.

In the spring of the 11th year of Xingyuan (238 AD), this season was the rainy season in Dayuan, which was particularly precious. Liu Yi recruited several old farmers from the Han Dynasty to exchange farming experience with the people of Dayuan to increase the agricultural output of Dayuan. Also, as an agricultural civilization, Dahan's farming was much more advanced than Dayuan.

Manure, ditches, and intensive farming, the population of 300,000 is by no means the limit that Dayuan can bear. At the same time, the first batch of immigrants transferred from Xiliang were also sent. A large number of Han people came in. When the two sides were not in language, there would naturally be many conflicts. Throughout the spring, Zhang Yuan and Luther were rushing between towns, arranging Han people to move in, arranging farmland, mediating conflicts in various places, and selecting officials to report.

As for Liu Yi, the highest official in Dayuan, he was very leisurely during this period. Of course, he was not really leisurely, but he rarely paid attention to military and political affairs. During this period, he has been improving the manufacturing of steam engines. The water resources in Dayuan are quite good compared to the Western Regions. The most important thing is that he found a large amount of iron ore, copper ore and rare metals. The steam engine also reduced its resource consumption a lot with Liu Yi's continuous streamlining.

After years of research and continuous improvement of institutional science, steam engines can now be used in minerals everywhere, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the demand for manpower accordingly.

Steam engine: Power conversion +68, sealing +69, loss -66, power transmission +61, working efficiency +68

Looking at the equipment that was more than one person in front of me, with the help of attributes, I finally barely met Liu Yi's airtightness requirements, and the thermal energy conversion rate should be higher than that of the steam engine in my previous life.

"Sikong, this..." Zhang Yuan looked at the steel monster in front of him with a look of incredible expression on his face. Although he knew that Liu Yi had been studying this machine that could provide dozens of times the manpower over the years, he was still shocked when the steam engine really appeared and put into use.

"You can make a train!" Liu Yi looked excited. Although the steam engine cannot represent the industrial age, its appearance is definitely a benchmark in the industrial age. Entering the steam era in the future will not be a dream. The first thing Liu Yi thought of was to make a steam train. It is too far from Dayuan to Chang'an. Even a rail car would take more than half a month, and the rail car carrying capacity is limited. If the painting made by a steam train can be reduced to two to three days. In this way, the Han Dynasty may not be able to see it by entering a mechanized civilization, but it will definitely be able to do it within the next two or three hundred years.

"Train?" Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Yi in confusion.

"You will understand." Liu Yi smiled without explanation. He looked at Zhang Yuan and said: "I inform the counties of the Western Zhou Dynasty to prepare manpower. In the next three to five years, there will be a major project to be done!"

Trains may be important, but more importantly, the tracks. Without rubber, even if there are a large amount of oil resources, Liu Yi will also get out the car. Therefore, in the future, the train will be an important means of transportation after it comes out. As for railway tracks, Liu Yi also thought that when iron is still an important resource, it is impossible to completely eliminate people's covetousness. Therefore, in addition to severe punishment for those who steal the tracks under the law, the protection itself also needs to be improved. Liu Yi is preparing to build a corridor to increase the crime cost of those who want to steal the tracks. From Dayuan to Chang'an, the manufacturing of railway tracks is a terrifying number.

We also have to pass through some important cities in Xizhou and Xiliang. At present, these require a lot of manpower support. Whether it is the construction of tracks, the smelting itself, and the construction of corridors, the consumption of cement and iron ore is definitely calculated in units of tens of thousands of tons. Of course, there is no unit of measurement in this year and month.

Judging from the current mining speed of the Han Dynasty, the iron ore required alone would probably require the entire Han Dynasty to mine for two or three years, which was impossible for the imperial court to accept. Therefore, before building the track, Liu Yi had to increase the iron ore output in various places, but he could build a corridor first.

"Here!" Zhang Yuan nodded. Although he didn't know what Liu Yi was going to do, it must have something to do with this steel monster.

"Next, I will go all over the place. The situation in Dayuan has stabilized, so it depends on you two." Liu Yi patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and smiled.

"Here!" Zhang Yuan bowed solemnly.

Liu Yi didn't say much, so he took Lu Lingqi to pack his luggage and set off. In the first battle, he went to Yutian first, which was rich in mineral resources and needed a steam engine to develop minerals. The second stop was to go to Shancheng, and then to move branches, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Yunzhou (Hetao).

Liu Yi took Lu Lingqi and stepped onto the track car in a breeze.

...

"Steam engine?" In Chang'an, looking at the information sent by Dayuan, Liu Chan looked at the ministers in a daze: "I remember Sikong said this and made a model, but what is this steam engine? Can anyone know about it?"

The concept of steam engine has already developed a very mature concept in the Mo Academy. Now many people in the young governments in various places are studying it, but for these ministers in the court, this is not clear about it.

"Go back to your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed, "As early as the Jian'an period, Bo Yuan had proposed that the steam engine could boil water through combustion, and use the water vapor overflowing from boiling water to convert it into mechanical power through the mechanism to achieve the effect of replacing human power."

"Is Sikong done it now?" Liu Chan said incredible.

Although there are people in academies everywhere studying this thing, and even the steam engine has been written into the tenth volume of the Tiangong Book of Things. It is not difficult for those who are proficient in this area to understand the issue of transmission and transformation of force, but for so many years, no one has been able to do it. Liu Chan always thought it was just a fantasy, but he didn't expect Liu Yi to do it.

"It seems that's true now." Zhuge Liang smiled. He also likes to study these in his spare time. He has always been interested in Liu Yi's concept. He even made a few simple steam machines, which can be regarded as a type of steam machine. However, Zhuge Liang has never had any idea of ​​putting this thing into practical application. Now that Liu Yi has made it, it will also mean that the Han Dynasty will enter a new era.

"It is really a blessing for me to have Sikong's assistance!" Liu Chan sighed: "I passed on my edict, and the officials in various places in Xiliang were waiting for Sikong's dispatch, but if there is a need, they should give priority to supply and no mistakes should be made."

"Your Majesty, Sikong's memorial also said that this early stage requires tens of billions of dollars to support..." Huang Hao, who was standing beside him, reminded carefully.
