For Jiang Feng, what bothers him more is internal problems.

Of course, the external pressure is also huge, but as long as Xuzhou stabilizes internally, Jiang Feng is confident that he can deal with the challenge of both the Shatuo and Khitans, and there is no reason why he still feels that it is difficult for him to win this battle in this situation.

A steady stream of information came from Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou, and while the Shatuo people were recuperating and recuperating, they were also actively raising military resources, and the direction of concentration was obviously to the southwest, and he did not believe that Nanyang could not see this.

Facts have proved that Nanyang's reaction is quite fast, no, the envoy has already come to Xuzhou and is willing to communicate on returning it to Gwangju.

How to eat it, how to spit it it out for me.

Things are definitely not so simple, Nanyang must have other intentions, such as forming a three-family alliance is what they want to promote the most, and this issue has also caused controversy within Xuzhou.

The reason for the cold lips and teeth is very strong, and the strength shown by the Shatuo people to Daliang has indeed made many people who fled from Daliang to Xuzhou feel great pressure, especially their remarks and opinions also have a certain market in Xuzhou.

However, for Jiang Feng, this problem is simple.

Nanyang, who was prepared, was not so easily defeated by the Shatuo people, and Nanyang, which annexed Shenzhou and Anzhou, already had a bit of a strong momentum, especially its advantage in magic was more prominent.

Perhaps the territories of Henan Mansion and Ruzhou, which were swallowed by Erliu, would be quickly taken over by the Shatuo people, as long as the Nanyang side did not try to hold these places in vain, and resolutely retreated to Funiu Mountain-south of Fangcheng Mountain, the iron cavalry advantage of the Shatuo people would be greatly reduced.

It is really the turn of the field battles and offensive and defensive battles in one city and one place, and the people of Shatuo will feel the fresh feeling brought to them by Nanyang's infantry army and magic strength.

Of course, there is no hidden danger, that is, the relationship between Dajin and Caizhou.

If the Great Jin Dynasty can persuade Caizhou to open up the western passage of Xuzhou and Caizhou, then Nanyang will face huge pressure, and whether it can hold the line of Ciqiu, Miyang, and Tongbai will become the key to the life and death of Nanyang.

But it is also difficult for the Shatuo people to convince Caizhou, and the story of the fake Dao is enough to make Yuan Huaihe think twice, even if he forms an alliance with Xuzhou, it will be Caizhou itself that will really face the impact of the Shatuo Iron Cavalry first, especially Caizhou itself is its fundamental place, and there is a huge risk in spreading the opening of the west.

Maybe the people of Shatuo think they can offer Caizhou a condition that they can't refuse?

But haven't the Shatuo people considered their own feelings?

Now Caizhou still dares to accept such conditions without consulting Xuzhou's opinion?

It's a little interesting, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile dumbly, there is still some time, the Shatuo people are not iron-clad, they also need to rest and breathe.

At the same time, as the climate becomes hotter and hotter, those Zahu Iron Riders from the north of the Saiwai Desert may not be able to adapt to the climate of the Central Plains, and they will soon realize that the Central Plains are different from Hedong and even outside the Saiwai.

If they had been wiser, the Shatuo would have found that perhaps the best time to use their troops would be to delay until September and autumn were crisp.

Wang Miao went to Heshuo again.

Since it has been determined that a forward position against the Khitans will be established on the line of Di, Cang, and De, of course, all resources must be used.

The Wang family has been deeply cultivated in the states of Chengde Town for many years, and it is not that these traces can be easily erased after the Zhang family usurps power, not to mention that Zhang Chujin's current situation is not good, the drought of several years has exhausted the remaining vitality of this piece of land, and now this land is like a papier-mâché lantern, which will be broken when poked.

Now what Jiang Feng needs to consider is how to restore the vitality of this region as soon as possible once he takes the three states of Di, Cang, and De, so that it can play a role in resisting the Khitans in the south in the future, this is what needs to be seriously considered, it is difficult to last only by transporting food and materials from the south, Jiang Feng does not think that the three states of Di, Cang, and De can only be reduced to war fortresses, this is the North China Plain, and the fertility of the land is no less than that of the Central Plains.

It's just that if you want to redevelop the three states of Di, Cang, and De, this is another big project that requires time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming, and Jiang Feng can't really invest heavily in it until the threat of the Khitans is solved.

Let's wait and see, I hope Wang Miao can make more meaningful breakthroughs in these three states.

Chai Yong led the Wuning Army and Tian Chunlai's Huaishui Army to attack Shanyang, while Kou Wenli's Chaohu Army and Xu Ziqing's Huaiyou Army sent Yangzhou to Yangzhou, and the entire battle was commanded and coordinated by Mei Jing.

Due to the distance between the two battlefields, Mei Guo also gave Jiang Feng a suggestion, suggesting that Chai Yong's side be given greater authority in order to facilitate the eventual change, and Jiang Feng accepted this suggestion.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Jiang Feng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Chu Yang's side, just leave it to Mei and them to deal with it with all the powers, I believe that in this case, Li Yu has no room for reversal, Qian Yuanjun's enthusiasm is higher than we imagined, he has already captured the entire Changzhou, and is about to attack Runzhou, Li Yu is now taking care of one and losing the other." ”

"The king of the county, there are a lot of imminent things, and there are a few here in the political hall. Chen Wei knew that Jiang Feng was in a good mood, so he was also concise, "I'm afraid that the iron ore mining of Li Guojian needs to be further expanded, the situation on the side of the iron smelting center is very good, the production efficiency is getting higher and higher, the ore mining is already a little insufficient, and the smelting furnace cannot be easily stopped, so at least another 1,200 people need to be mined on the Li Guojian side, and the situation is similar on the side of the forging workshop, once the production capacity is increased, the entire chain must expand the scale of production." ”

Chen Wei is now proficient in using popular words such as "capacity", "chain" and "production efficiency" to explain his work.

As the first seat of the political affairs hall, he shouldn't have put so much thought into it, but the smelting center is indeed too important, and it can be said that it is related to whether the finances of the entire Xuzhou can be supported.

Now the status and value of Xuzhou's smelting center has far exceeded the Shouzhou yellow porcelain kiln that is also expanding the scale of production, even if it is coupled with the tea industry in Huzhou, it is far less than the benefits brought by the Xuzhou smelting center, and the Hu businessmen have more confidence in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou iron smelting industry, Shouzhou's ceramic industry, Haizhou's salt industry, Huzhou's tea industry, Shouzhou's shipbuilding industry, these five industries have become the most proud industry in Xuzhou.

Haizhou's salt industry has also introduced a new type of salt drying method, which has greatly improved the efficiency of salt production, which is also inseparable from the help of surgery, especially in helping coarse salt refinement.

Both the Persian and Sogdian merchants were shocked by the large-scale development of Xuzhou's iron-smelting industry, but the reality in front of them was that truckloads of pig iron were produced, some of which were sent to the smelting workshop to become various ironware, and some of which were directly turned into steel.

This is almost the money burned out of one furnace after another, which makes the Hu merchants' eyes red with envy, but the night eagle's strict precautions and strict joint sitting methods ensure the secrecy of the smelting technology, and the Hu merchants are not much interested in the industry, they are more interested in obtaining the franchise rights of these goods, so that they can be sold to various places outside the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion and earn excess profits.

"This matter can be finalized immediately, the iron-smelting center is the foundation of the future of our Xuzhou Governor's Office, only a large amount of iron can support our future war with the Shatuo people and the Khitans, grain and steel, this is our confidence, food, we have Shouzhou, Luzhou, Haozhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou, Shuzhou, and soon Chuzhou and Yangzhou, the grain produced in the entire Huainan is enough to support the needs of the people under the rule of the entire Xuzhou Governor's Office, even if Wuning, Tianping, Ziqing, Several towns in the north of Pinglu have been hit by drought again, and I am confident that food prices will be stabilized. ”

Jiang Feng looked full of confidence, "And the iron produced in Xuzhou will also meet the needs of the Xuzhou Governor's Government, and will also bring us rich returns in Xuzhou, which we are seeing, and in the future, more industries can be derived from the abundant supply of iron, and the Magic Materials Official Academy is studying these aspects, I believe that it will not be long before they will have results." ”

With the emergence of the iron smelting center, Jiang Feng also had the reason and confidence to provide greater financial support to the magic material official academy, which made the scale of the magic material official academy bigger and bigger, in addition to the relocation to Xuzhou The construction of the main courtyard, the branch of Huzhou was also overcrowded.

Sorcerers who had fled from the Central Plains poured into Huzhou, where Guy had the best conditions for research, and Xuzhou could provide them with everything they needed.

Deng Guinian's influence played a huge role in both Bianliang and Luoyang, and almost everything in the entire Bianliang Daozangzhai was accepted by Xuzhou, just in the past few months, Xuzhou's magic material official academy (including Huzhou Branch) has ushered in nearly three hundred magicians, magicians, magicians, and even magician-level talents.

Seeing that Jiang Feng had signs of improvisation, Chen Wei hurriedly interrupted the other party: "King of the county, there is a second and quite urgent problem, the plan for the promotion of land inspection in the four northern towns and prefectures. ”

This is a real conundrum.

The policy of land inspection caused an uproar when it was implemented in the three states of Guanghushou, but at that time, after all, there were only a few states, and the gentry of these three states had also competed with Jiang Feng at the beginning, but after some compromise, they finally implemented it as they wished.

And that is also based on the premise that the ant thieves have caused a large amount of land to be abandoned.

But now in the four northern towns, like Tianping Town and Wuning Town, it is possible, but in Pinglu Town and Ziqing Town, it is difficult.
