The occupation of Nanzhuangzi was just the beginning for Chen Xian, and the next thing he had to face was the wrath of the Jin court.

In fact, Chen Xian didn't want to tear his face with the Jin Imperial Court so early, but the blockade of the Laiwu people against him was too uncomfortable, almost pinching his seven inches, for Chen Xian, who took the handicraft manufacturing industry as the core, the blockade of trade was equivalent to blocking his blood, and he couldn't bear it at all.

Fortunately, Chen Xian is still a state-owned enterprise, and all the workshops under him belong to him, as long as they can be maintained, it doesn't matter if they are profitable, if the factories under his rule are all private, they will be a mess long ago.

In order to cope with the next attack, Chen Xian ordered the population of Nanzhuangzi to be forcibly relocated to Yiyuan for resettlement, and recruited people from Yiyuan to fill Nanzhuangzi with the benefit of 20 acres of land per household.

Chen Xian did not blindly force the Nanzhuangzi population who migrated to Yiyuan, he arranged houses for each of the migrant households, absorbed young people into various workshops, and arranged middle-aged people into agricultural companies, so that these people at least had food and clothing.

Chen Xian also carefully distinguished the original vested interests in Nan Zhuangzi and found out all the original vested interests.

For these vested interests, Chen Xian directly expelled them all.

For the original poor tenants of Nanzhuangzi, Chen Xian gave them a sheltered house and a job to support themselves, and they would be satisfied and at ease.

But for those with vested interests, Chen Xian has seized their land and their status as supreme people, and no matter how much compensation is made to them, it will not eliminate the slightest hatred in their hearts.

According to Yang Miaozhen and Li Shi's advice, it is best to kill all these people.

In fact, Chen Xian also agreed with Yang Miaozhen's statement, but he couldn't be ruthless.

After completing the migration of the population and truly turning Nanzhuangzi into his inner line, Chen Xian couldn't wait to restore the mining of two nearby iron pits, a copper pit, and a coal mine.

In order to mine these pits, Chen Xian selected a group of people from his army and sent them to serve as the managers of these mines, and he kept the original miner family of Nan Zhuangzi and continued to hire these miners with a slightly higher salary than the Huo family.

Chen Xian, who had obtained iron ore and copper ore, could not wait to imitate modern blast furnaces, improve the existing iron-making furnaces, build reverberatory furnaces to refine copper and iron, and even tried to build earth-based coke ovens to replace the increasingly scarce wood.

In fact, the wood has not been exhausted, but the forests near the mine have long been cut down, and the cost of transporting timber from far away is too high.

In the case of nearby coal mines, the use of coal to make iron is indeed a good way to reduce costs, but the sulfur and phosphorus contained in natural coal will greatly reduce the quality of iron, so to use coal to make iron, coking is an indispensable process.

Soil coking is actually very simple, you can directly use the charcoal kiln of this era, of course, the efficiency of this kind of earth stove is very poor, Chen Xian will definitely not use this method directly.

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Chen Xian couldn't take the time to do these things at the moment of the great enemy, he just resumed the production of the mine as soon as possible, and let himself restore the supply of coal and iron in the factory in Yiyuan.

Chen Xian stationed almost all the regular troops under his command in Nanzhuangzi, and he handed over all the guards of Yiyuan to the militia.

The entire Yiyuan is now almost 18,000 people, even excluding the 4,000 new residents who moved from Nanzhuangzi, there are 13,400 people, and after Chen Xian's militia training, which is almost all soldiers, under the limit of circumstances, almost 4,000 militia can be transferred.

Chen Xian transferred 2,000 people from the 4,000 militia to gather in Tangjiazhuang for training, if Yan Chengtao let Nanzhuangzi go and went to fight Yiyuan, Chen Xian would have to rely on these 2,000 people, equipped with flying sand cannons, and fight a guerrilla war with him in the woods west of Tangjiazhuang.

Chen Xian handed over the defense of Yiyuan to Yang Miaozhen.

After this period of getting along, Chen Xian and Yang Miaozhen have established trust, of course, absolute trust is impossible, so after Chen Xian handed over the defense of Yiyuan to Yang Miaozhen, she transferred all the two hundred cavalry she asked from Yangjiazhuang to Nanzhuangzi, making her a commander in Yiyuan.

Yang Miao's ability to command the military and political resources in the Yiyuan region depends entirely on her status as Mrs. Chen, not on her own control.

Such a behavior of checks and balances and precautions has now almost become Chen Xian's instinct.

Just when Chen Xian was preparing for war and was nervous, a message suddenly came from his reconnaissance team.

The Jin army stationed in Fengfu County suddenly withdrew!

Just when Chen Xian was suspicious, the intelligence team of Laiwu County also sent a message, a more detailed message, and the news came from the Laiwu County Order.

Chen Xian had several intelligence teams in Laiwu, and one of them was in charge of keeping an eye on the county government.

Two members of the group even infiltrated the county government to serve as servants.

This information came from the intelligence team that was staring at the county office, and this team bribed the scholar around the county order, asked him to peek at the official documents of the county order every day, and then copied the content to them.

The intelligence team pretended to be a small and powerful person in the county to buy the scholar of the county order, the scholar didn't think much about it at all, the county's powerful man bribed the people around the county master to obtain information, this kind of thing was not the invention of Chen Xian's intelligence team, this kind of buying was a normal thing for the county scholar, so he didn't think much about it at all.

Judging from the news from this intelligence team, the reason why Wanyan Chengtao evacuated was inseparable from the pressure of the Mongols in the north.

Under the heavy pressure of the Mongols, the Jin court began to draw troops from all over the country to the north, and the Tianping army was also among them.

After Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, this news was brought up again......

It's finally time to come!

About seven or eight days after Chen Xian received the news, a middle-aged man was sent from the county town to send a letter to Chen Xian of Nanzhuangzi.

This person came to deliver the letter after receiving a heavy reward from the county, and he came with the determination to die, so as to fight for his son's future, but he didn't expect Chen Xian to not only entertain him with good wine and meat, but also sent a team of messengers to return to the county seat with him to meet the county commander.

After several rounds of exchanges, the county acquiesced in Chen Xian's occupation of Nanzhuangzi, as well as south of the Baoping River and east of the Muwen River, and at the same time lifted the blockade of Yiyuan.

After striving for a new period of tranquility, Chen Xian once again devoted himself to production and construction and technological transformation.

At this time, it is already the twilight of spring in 1210, and in February next year, the Mengjin War will begin, and this short period of one year, and half a year after the start of the war, will be his last and best chance, after that, waiting for him and the land of North China will be extremely harsh.
