People have no long-term worries, Jiang Feng has never relaxed his attention to Caizhou Yuan, because the momentum shown by Caizhou Yuan's is too worrying. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Feng didn't think that Caizhou was so strong, but the forward-looking and echelon state of several families of the Yuan family's extremely vassal family in talent training was enough to make many feudal lords whose strength was stronger than Caizhou embarrassed, whether it was Nanyang or the Shi family, or Wu Guo and Taining, they were too inferior.

As for the Huaiyou that he has now, he can't compare with Caizhou at all.

Caizhou is full of talents, but more is still concentrated in martial arts, and there are also some talents in magic, but they are still far inferior to martial arts, and others, such as civilian talents and economic development, Caizhou's performance is lackluster.

For example, the eleven counties under the jurisdiction of Caizhou are all plastered places in the Central Plains and have a large population, but looking at the situation within its borders, the grain is only enough to feed and wear, and the industry and commerce are not very developed, which greatly limits the potential of Caizhou to strengthen its military strength, and it is even more stretched to fight against the beam.

This is probably the main reason why Caizhou feels that it is unable to cope with the oppression of the Great Liang and wants to turn to the east for development.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng had an indescribable sense of urgency.

With Caizhou's martial arts talents, he can almost completely crush Huaiyou, and he controls three states and ten counties, and he is already approaching Caizhou, but in terms of talents, he is still far from Caizhou.

It is also now that Caizhou is still in the stage of recuperation and recovery after the battle with Daliang, otherwise it is really difficult to say whether Caizhou will make any moves against Huaiyou in the future.

Although the competition in a place is, after all, a confrontation of comprehensive strength, but in a specific period of time and under a specific environment, the crushing of military strength can play a decisive role.

Jiang Feng always believed that if Cai Zhou came to attack that battle was not his own strong ability to show militarily through magic, Yuan Wuwei realized that such a strong attack on Gushi might pay more losses than he could accept, and Yuan Wuwei would never give up so easily.

This is also the reason why Jiang Feng attaches great importance to the combination of magic.

In the case that the strength of Huaiyou's martial arts is far less than that of strong neighbors such as Nanyang and Caizhou, they can only show the enemy through the accumulation of the power of the spell, so that these strong neighbors can't figure out the extent of their own power in the spell, even if they have ideas, they don't dare to act rashly, so as to win time for themselves.

It's just as much of an investment in magic as it is to achieve good results.

Like Huzhou Daozang Deng Guinian and others recruited talents through various ways, and invited many practitioners from Daliang, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Huaibei, and Heshuo to study and learn.

Especially Huaibei and Heshuo, they don't attach much importance to magic, Heshuo is increasingly eroded by the Khitan, Jin and other alien races that are expanding in power, and the feudal domains themselves are struggling to deal with it, and they don't have much energy and mind to cultivate it, so many magic talents in Heshuo have also left Heshuo to find another source.

Deng Guinian himself was a well-known alchemist in Daliang, and he already had the level of being promoted to a Dao mage, so he also sent an invitation to his counterparts in the Heshuo area.

Many of these peers come to Huzhou, but in order to let these peers who already have a certain level stay, it is the least necessary to provide the necessary training conditions.

And Jiang Feng also gave Deng Guinian and Luo Zhen a promise at that time that they must provide the best treatment and conditions for the Daozang Institute, so Jiang Feng did not discount it at all, and the Daozang Institute did his best to meet its needs.

Now the scale of the Huzhou Daozang Institute has expanded to more than 40 people, except for more than 10 people from Daliang and a few people from Huzhou, most of the rest are from Heshuo, Huaibei, Jiangling, Xiangyang and other places, especially Heshuo, more than 15 people have come to Huzhou one after another, and the magic from Daliang is on par with the magic peers.

Although the scale of the Huzhou Daozang Institute is far from being comparable with the scale of Bianliang Daozangzhai, and it cannot be compared with the prosperous places of Wuyue, it is already similar to places such as Nanyang, Hedong and Huaibei, and of course there is a big gap with Hedong, Daliang and Nanyang in terms of the level of magic.

However, according to Deng Guinian and Luo Zhen's predictions, as long as the current situation and support are followed, it is believed that the Daozang Institute in Huzhou will be able to reach a level close to that of Hedong and Nanyang within a few years.

Moreover, Jiang Feng also has some ideas, that is, he hopes that the study of the same line of magic and Taoism may not be completely limited to the military field, and many of the training of techniques such as fire, water, and wood can be applied to other fields.

Although Jiang Feng was still a little uncertain about this, he felt that this technique and Dao method were still somewhat similar to the science of his own time and space to a large extent, and even had the effect of touching and complementing each other, but he himself had not had much energy to ponder.

Jiang Feng also knew very well that a doorway similar to science, such as magic, was different from the pure personal ability improvement of martial arts cultivation, which had demonstrative, imitation and transfer effects, and required huge resources to invest in cultivation in order to achieve fruitful results.

Even if the spells in various places are uneven now, and you can recruit foreign magicians through various means, but as the research of the spell system is to enter a higher level, it must be supported by greater investment.

At present, the study of magic in various places is still at a relatively narrow level, but Jiang Feng, who comes from another time and space level, has realized that if the magic line can be expanded to other fields, it will inevitably play a huge role in promoting the development of the entire society, of course, this is only an assumption of Jiang Feng personally.

But in the final analysis, this is another way that requires huge investment, and it is also where Huaiyou cannot but invest.

In the martial arts, it is impossible to catch up with Nanyang and Caizhou in the short term, so if you want to achieve balance as much as possible, you must make a breakthrough in magic, which is also the direction determined by Jiang Feng.

But now the finances are so difficult, all aspects need money and silver investment, Huaiyou has not yet been able to establish a balanced finance, Jiang Feng's goal can only hit the franchise and Shouzhou kiln.

The Zheng family has already been in contact with the housekeeper, and after Jiang Feng clearly put forward the idea, the Zheng family immediately sent people south to Yuezhou to persuade the housekeeper to return north, believing that the housekeeper had nothing to hesitate about.

The Huaibei Shi family is now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to embarrass Shouzhou because of this kind of trivial matter that has passed for more than ten years, plus Jiang Feng's responsibility, this is not a problem, and the housekeeper has long been unaccustomed to the hot and humid climate in Yuezhou, and is more willing to return to his hometown.

On the issue of franchises, Jiang Feng also plans to sell the salt and wine franchises of the three prefectures of Guanghun Shouzhou, of course, he will give priority to the surnames of Shouzhou, but they also need to pay the necessary price.

Even so, Huaiyou's finances are still difficult to support, and in the short term, Jiang Feng can only rely on the financial support of Karim and Nashin, a group of Chang'an Hu businessmen.

Fortunately, Shouzhou should be able to give these Hu businessmen a reassurance, and when the housekeeper returns, I believe that these Hu businessmen will be willing to take out more real money to bet on themselves.

The Huzhou Provincial Treasure House is located in the eastern corner of Gushi Castle.

With the establishment of Huzhou, Gushi City also began to expand on a large scale, and the east city wall reached the bank of the Jieshui, that is, the bank of the Shihe River in later generations.

The Daozang Institute is built in the northeast corner, covering an area of more than 200 acres, which can be described as vast, but the scale is not big now, there are only three courtyards in the tall wall, and there is no tall building like the Bianliang Daozangzhai.

However, this place is still a little different from other places, from the beginning, it has been carved out separately, the fence is high, and it is heavily guarded, and there is even a white space around this high wall.

Jiang Feng stopped at the gate, "Year of the Turtle, the vine on this wall should be the vine of a thousand ghosts, right?"

Deng Guinian laughed, "No, my lord, this is the Thousand Ghost Vine's lifespan is too short, especially in winter, it can't survive, so this is the Thorny Snake Vine." ”

Jiang Feng carefully inspected this hemp-brown vine plant, with small leaves and hair-thin tentacles on the stalks, which could be attached to the city wall and climb upward.

"The spiny snake vine is formed by mixing the vines of the spiny snake with the snake vine, that is, the stalk of the spiny snake vine is inserted into the stem of the snake vine to be cultivated, and the two vines are promoted by some special ways, and some of them can grow into this kind of spiny snake vine. ”

Feeling that Jiang Feng was very interested in this kind of thing, Deng Guinian was not surprised.

This defensive envoy attaches far more importance to the magic of the lord than any feudal lord or high-ranking military general he has ever seen.

For example, when fighting against the Caizhou army, Jiang Feng clearly proposed to find a way to cultivate defensive magic instruments or instruments on the city wall, and it was best to win by surprise, and asked if this kind of wood-based living creature magic of trees and vines was possible, which inspired Deng Guinian to use the vine of a thousand ghosts to design traps.

"What's the difference between this stinging snake vine and the Thousand Ghost Vine? Well, I mean efficacy, such as sensitivity, lethality, and so on. Jiang Feng simply asked at the door of the Daozang Institute, with such a big investment, he also hoped that Deng Guinian and they would be able to give him more surprises.

"Compared with the vine of a thousand ghosts, this spiny snake vine is more adaptable, it can be cultivated all year round, and it has a longer lifespan, up to three years, and its sensitivity is also higher, well, basically it will trigger its induction within six feet, and if you do some screening and cultivation, the most powerful can trigger the induction within one zhang. "Deng Guinian is not without pride, this is the strength of the wood nature technique.
