The Khitan grassland now has a pattern of five princes and eight commanders. Although the five eldest princes are fighting endlessly for the Khitan throne, Zhou Yi still thinks that the grassland is not chaotic enough.

Zhou Yi wished that all eight commanders on the Khitan grassland would fight together.

The reason why Zhou Yi wanted someone to cast a giant glass wolf was to use the Khitan people's belief in the Moon-Howling Wolf God and each leader's desire for the Khitan throne to further provoke internal fighting within the Khitan.

Once Zhou Yi's plan is implemented, the treasure map and glass will be like a dynamite barrel that detonates the entire Khitan tribe and breaks the balance among all their current leaders.

However, the glass production and implementation plan must be kept top secret. Zhou Yi began to secretly think about who to make the glass implementation plan.

Soon the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth rose slightly, and it was obvious that his thoughts just now gave Zhou Yi an idea of ​​a candidate.

"The book "Encyclopedia of Glass Making" is really good. It seems that I am possessed by the European Emperor today. Come on, come on, the last one..."

Zhou Yi closed his mind slightly and opened the system lottery for the last time.

After a while, Zhou Yi looked at the items pulled out and took a breath of cold air again.

The next second he jumped up happily on the spot!

"Hahahaha, I got the money, I got the money!"

"I knew that Emperor Ou was possessed today! He actually fired it!"

This time, Zhou Yi also published a book.

An encyclopedic work that can promote the great development of agriculture and great progress in science and technology is - "Tiangong Kaiwu".

The whole book "Tiangong Kaiwu" is divided into three volumes and 18 chapters. The book describes in detail the types, origins, production technologies and process equipment of various crops and handicraft raw materials, as well as some production organization experiences.

The first volume records the cultivation and processing methods of grain beans and flax, the weaving and dyeing technology of silk, cotton and ramie, as well as the salt and sugar making processes.

The contents of the middle volume include the production of bricks and ceramics, the construction of vehicles and ships, the casting and forging of metals, the mining and firing of coal, lime, sulfur, and alum, as well as oil extraction and papermaking methods.

The second volume describes the mining and smelting of metal minerals, the manufacturing of weapons, the production of pigments and distiller's yeast, and the collection and processing of pearls and jade.

Although the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" is a product of the late Ming Dynasty, the scientific level of the Ming Dynasty still cannot be underestimated. There are many things that the domestic authorities do not pay attention to, but when they are introduced to Westerners, they are like treasures.

Zhou Yi is not some emperor who only knows how to close his country and claim to be one emperor through the ages. Zhou Yi still attaches great importance to the development of science and technology. After all, if you fall behind, you will be beaten!

With this "Tiangong Kaiwu", the production and development level of Zhouyi's territory can be at least one stage ahead of other places, and Zhouyi can also discover hidden physics talents in promoting the technology in Tiangong Kaiwu.

Zhou Yi immediately asked the system to project several sets of "Tiangong Kaiwu" and called Zhao Tiezhu to order his people to hurry up and send them to the county magistrates who were promoted by him and who were sincerely loyal to him.

Not surprisingly, after these people got this "Tiangong Kaiwu", they regarded it as a strange book and vigorously promoted various technologies in it throughout the county.

Zhou Yi walked out of his house and came to the backyard.

This is where Marco, a merchant from the Western Regions who was previously captured by Zhou Yi at Wuwei Pass, is imprisoned.

Marco, who was still numbly making Dali Pills, suddenly became energetic when he saw Zhou Yi's arrival.

He immediately knelt down and begged Zhou Yi: "Sir, I have made so many Dali Pills for you, and even gave you the formula. When will you let me go!"

"I don't want that set of glass cups anymore, so I'll give them to you, sir. As long as you let me go, that's all!"

Zhou Yi turned around and asked Zhao Tiezhu: "What? Is there anyone who disobeys my general and abuses this merchant?"

Marco waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, no one abused me, it's just that I'm here making Dali Pills all day long, and that's really boring!"

Zhou Yi instantly let go of his worries. Originally, Zhou Yi was afraid that someone would disrespect his orders and abuse Marco, causing his plan to end before it was even implemented.

"How can you say that such a great cause as rubbing Dali Pills in your hands and helping men regain their glory is boring?"

"Since Brother Marco is not interested in such a great cause, forget it. You can leave here anytime you want!"

Marco couldn't believe his ears and asked quickly: "Sir, are you serious?"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly and asked someone to fetch all of Marco's goods.

Marco couldn't wait to open his luggage and took a look. Several mottled glasses were lying safely inside.

"My baby!" Marco excitedly hugged a glass and kissed it.

Zhou Yi Youyou said: "You can leave now!"

After gathering his luggage and treasures, Marco took a look around and found that no one was stopping him from leaving.

Just when Marco was about to step over the threshold, Zhou Yi sighed again and said: "Originally, I wanted to reward Marco for teaching my subordinates how to make Dali Pills, but now I see you If you long for freedom so much, then let it go!"

As soon as he heard how to make colored glaze, Marco's foot hanging in mid-air didn't step out of the door.

Combined with Zhou Yi's previous disdain for the glasses in his luggage, Marco concluded that Zhou Yi must know how to make them.

Marco immediately turned around and said with a smile: "No way, adults and children are just getting up and exercising, not leaving!"

Zhou Yi deliberately teased Marco and said, "Oh? Really? Then why are you holding your luggage?"

"Luggage? What luggage?"

Marco then threw his things out the door, only to hear a few banging noises coming from the box, which was obviously the sound of the glass inside breaking.

He spent a lot of money to collect the glass items in the luggage, so throwing away the glass inside was a gamble for Marco, a big gamble.

Marco was betting that he could learn good techniques from Zhouyi and make better colored glaze products.

Seeing Marco like this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly. He took out a "Glass Making Encyclopedia" from his arms and handed it to Marco, saying: "Young man, I see you have amazing bones and extraordinary talent. You must be a good hand at making glass." , I will reward you with this "Encyclopedia of Glass Making". I hope you will practice hard and not disappoint my expectations!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi left as an expert, minding his own business.

Marco looked at the various glass styles in this "Glass Making Encyclopedia" and felt that his horizons were broadened.

But soon Marco discovered a blind spot - he could speak Chen Guohua, but he didn't know Chen Guo's writing!

Although this "Glass Making Encyclopedia" records in detail how to make glass, Marco can only understand the pictures and not the text!
