Although there is no detailed information about such a small city yet, the army is only more than a thousand at most, and it is scattered around all sides. As long as you control the King Juyan in time, it will not be difficult to seize the city.

"Not appropriate!" Liu Yi shook his head and said, "It's too rude, and it's not difficult to seize Juyan, but this move will make the countries in the Western Regions alert, and will hinder the naturalization of the Western Regions in the future. We have to use relatively mild means to seize this city."

"Oh?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi curiously: "How is your husband going to move?"

"No hurry, let's start with another place as our foothold." Liu Yi shook his head. He now knew nothing about Juyancheng. It's not good to draw a conclusion now. He had nothing to do with it. He didn't want to experience the severe cold of the Gobi Desert. Before the spring began, he happened to be operating here.

Lu Lingqi was puzzled and continued to stroll with Liu Yi. Juyan City was not big, and it took only an hour to walk around. After the two of them walked around Juyan City, the guide had found the inn where they were staying.

"Si... the owner of the manor, this residence in Yancheng is just a small place, and he dares to be called a country?" Wei Chang said with some disdain.

"That's the Pinghan Kingdom that you have never seen before." Liu Yi smiled and said, "It's much more prosperous than Qinghan."

The village is located in a corner. Although the population is not smaller than that in Qiang land, or even more, in terms of potential, it is located in Yancheng, connected to the Western Regions, bordering the grasslands in the east, and Zhangye in the south, with a barrier of desert. Its geographical advantage is much stronger than that in Kuhan. If you really fight, the endless Gobi Desert will be in trouble.

"Then I don't know the next step..." Wei Chang looked at Liu Yi and was eager to try. He entered the city so easily. With the elite soldiers of this journey, it would not be difficult to seize Juyan. Ban Chao could only thirty-six cavalry at that time. They now had more than 200 people, and Sikong was also a good fighter. Juyan was no problem.

"No hurry." Liu Yi smiled and said, "There are no external troubles now, so it's better to force each other too much." Liu Yi shook his head: "What is the first marching and fighting?"

"Know yourself and your enemy!" Wei Chang said hurriedly.

"Information!" Wei Rong also said.

"Since you know, you shouldn't be so reckless!" Liu Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Go and rest. You don't have to be too nervous when you come to Juyan this time."

"Here!" The two brothers bowed and asked for a retreat.

...

The next morning, Liu Yi chose two shops in the city. One was responsible for selling the porcelain brought by the trip, and the other was called Tiangongfang. The meaning was naturally self-evident.

On that day, someone came to Juyan Palace and selected a batch of porcelain and exchanged them with jade and gold beads. It is worth mentioning that the gold beads at this time were actually copper beads. There was already gold in this era, but because of the preciousness, few people directly used it as currency trading, and the same was true for the Western Regions.

A piece of porcelain can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of copper. If it is cast into copper coins, it can get 10,000 yuan.

If it is replaced with jade, it is also a hundred kilograms, but if these jades are sold to the man, even if they are not carved, a hundred kilograms of jade can be exchanged for 100,000 yuan. If it is carved into jade, the price will be undefined. If Liu Yi takes action himself, throw it to the Central Plains. The jade made of 100 kilograms of jade can be sold at a price of over 100 million yuan.

However, copper is also useful, so Liu Yi did not refuse. If Juyancheng takes it, these can be recovered, so there is no need to worry too much at this time.

However, in addition to the royal family, although some people come to ask for the price, not many people are willing to buy it. Only some vendors from other countries in the Western Regions will buy a few pieces. After bringing them back to China, these porcelains can be sold at high prices or presented directly to the king, and they can also gain power. It depends on how to use them.

Liu Yi asked someone to send the copper to Tiangongfang to start minting coins.

At the same time, Tiangongfang also started to take on business. In the following days, people gradually discovered that the things made by Tiangongfang had magical effects. Juyancheng was not big. News soon spread that the tools cast by craftsmen from the Han Dynasty had magical effects and were not expensive. Even at the end of the month, Tiangongfang came out to help the nobles in the city build a mansion, which was completed in just ten days. Legend has it that the mansion can withstand the severe cold, and people are warm as spring in it. The name of the Han Dynasty's magic craftsman began to spread in Juyancheng.

Liu Yi bought another shop and made food from the food he brought. He distributed food and some clothes to the poor in the city every day. His reputation for living in Yancheng gradually spread, and at the same time, he also began to teach children to learn Chinese.

"The owner of the manor, Juyan City has found its troops. If it is not counted as the escort of the palace, there are only more than 700 people. Juyan City has more than 1,600 households and a population of about 8,000. Among them, many people from other countries that live here are not included. There should be 10,000 people in total." Wei Chang smiled and said, "Juyan, as a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, has developed well in recent years."

Liu Yi nodded. If you include the palace guards, Ju Yan's troops should be about a thousand. Judging from the situation of the Western Regions recorded in the historical records, this number is good among the Western Regions countries, and it is considered to be at the middle and upper level.

"Master, we won't always do business here, right?" Wei Rong looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile.

The great Han Dynasty was an agricultural country with poor business. They were not concerned about business and even felt ashamed of it.

"It should be soon." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, "But one thing, don't underestimate business, scholars, farmers and workers. Businessmen, in fact, there was no prematureness at the beginning."

"Master of the Manor!" The accompanying guide came in and bowed to Liu Yi and said, "The Juyan Palace sent someone to pass on the message, and the Juyan King summoned him."

"Oh?" Liu Yi looked at the guide and said, "Where is the envoy of King Juyan?"

"After sending the order, I left." The leader bowed.

"Ha~" Liu Yi smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

"Why don't you see the owner?" Wei Chang looked at Liu Yi in confusion.

"If you are just doing business, then you will directly explain your intention and negotiate a transaction. But now that King Juyan summoned us, we are equivalent to being an envoy of the Han family. We are disrespectful to the envoy of the Han family." Liu Yi looked at Wei Chang and smiled and said, "Although the Han Dynasty is now in a civil turmoil, it is not that the little King Juyan can be disrespectful and continue to do his own things at will."

"Here!" The Wei Chang brothers and brothers thought it was right, so they agreed and left each other.

"Is this my husband going to wait?" Lu Lingqi came out of the back hall and sat next to Liu Yi, helping him pour tea, and said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
