Indeed, although the influence of magic and magic in war has continued to expand, it is still quite different from that of civil and military.

Civil and military, civil and military, both civil and military, neither literary nor military, nor military. These words are enough to illustrate the status of civil and military in the minds of orthodox people. The magic and magic have always been regarded as a side-minded path and are far from comparable to civil and military.

Even though the influence has been continuously expanded in the past century, especially with the Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, the Huang Chao Rebellion and then the rise of the vassal clans, the continuous wars have led to the role of magic and magic in war, but it has appeared more as auxiliary forces of martial arts.

It can be said that it was not until the Battle of Wengangzha that the sign of magic and magic being played alone began to be noticed, but it is still hard to say how much vibration it could cause in such a short period of time.

"Then will this method of different treatment be used for demonstration affect the enthusiasm of those sorcerers and magicians?" Jiang Feng couldn't help asking.

"I guess it has some influence on my subordinates, but in general, this is still a rare opportunity for these sorcerers and magicians who are not very valued in Daliang and Heshuo. They can communicate and discuss, and find some opportunities, so there are still many people coming."

Chu Qi felt Jiang Feng's attention to the magicians and said carefully: "Lord, there are more sorcerers and magicians from Heshuo. Most of them live in the hostels at the North Gate. If so..."

"Oh? Have you been there?" Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

"I went there the day before yesterday. Because there were still people coming from Bianliang, I took advantage of the situation to find acquaintances and went around there to learn about some of the situation." Chu Qi explained.

"Well, when will the demonstration of magic be held? Is it a competition with martial arts and cultural arts?" Jiang Feng felt more and more that it was a bit interesting to come to Nanyang to catch this grand event. If he couldn't get anything for Xuzhou at this grand event, it would be a waste of his journey.

"The competition between civil and military competitions is divided into preliminary competitions, semi-finals and finals, while the demonstration of magic and magic is available every day, according to attributes and regions, and it will last about five days, and the time should overlap."

Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction. Chu Qi has not been idle these days, so it is not easy to understand these situations so clearly.

"Okay, Dalang is doing a good job." Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, "I plan to stay in Nanyang for a few days. Such a grand event, I guess all forces will participate. Nanyang recruits talents with such a big fanfare, especially those targeting Daliang and Heshuo. I don't believe that it will be so smooth here. In addition, we should not do anything in Wuzhou. Dalang, you should send a letter back to Wuzhou immediately, let Dingman and Wang Huang come. In addition, if Deng Guinian can take time, come here to see if he can get something."

"Okay." Chu Qi answered immediately.

"In addition, you and Su Tie can go out for a walk at night to learn more about the situation. I have to think about it." Jiang Feng thought about it and saw Ju Li's eyes flowing next to him, while Wu Xia's little girl was full of expectation. She obviously wanted to go out for a walk, "Why don't you take Wu Xia out for a walk, bring the veil hats and other things well, and don't attract a bunch of disciples."

"Forget it, if you don't go, I won't go, I'll be with you in the house." Ju Li shook his head.

Jiang Feng laughed, "Forget it, I have to go and take a walk when I come to Nanyang. Let's go out for a walk. Chu Qi and Su Tie, you guys, go aside, and I will just go around casually."

************************************************************

I have to admit that Nanyang Prefecture dares to be upgraded to a prefecture because it really has this foundation.

In this era, not any city could be upgraded to a prefecture, but Nanyang was upgraded to a prefecture, with a large population, developed commerce, and continuous flow of merchants, so naturally they were qualified to be promoted to a prefecture.

The west of the city is relatively remote, but when Jiang Feng, Ju Lu and Wu Xia come out together, you can feel the hustle and bustle of the midsummer night market.

There is no big boundary in this era, but as Nanyang City, there is still a rough boundary.

The west of the city is a typical workshop area, with the market in front and the workshop behind. However, according to the industry, one area and another basically maintain the pattern of the pre-Tang Dynasty.

When Jiang Feng and the others were about to go out, they heard the sound of "ding bells" from the north, even if they were several streets apart, they were still heard.

As the most important iron smelting center in Shandong East Road, Caizhou's Yelu City is a small figure compared to Nanyang. The iron smelting produced from Nanyang every year reaches more than 1.5 million kilograms. This amount is not worth mentioning in Jiang Feng's opinion than modern times, but it is already extremely considerable in this era.

It can be imagined that if this one million and a million kilograms of iron are used to create weapons such as horizontal swords, it can be created at least 80,000, and its value can be imagined.

Seeing that Jiang Feng's attention seemed to be attracted by the iron smelting workshop in the north, Ju Qi also knew that Jiang Feng had always been not satisfied with his weapons. Although Chang Kun brought back a narrow-edged horse-slashing saber made of black iron from Bianliang, this horse-slashing saber could only be said to be unsatisfactory. It was much better than the original horse-slashing saberer, but it was still far from the weapons like Yang Kan's Ice King Sword, and it was even much worse than the path blade on his waist.

"Erlang, why not take a look. I heard that the workshops in Nanyang are very famous and are not inferior to those in Bianliang."

Ju Qi's tactfulness touched Jiang Feng and nodded, "Then let's go and see. If my horse-killing sabre is enough for ordinary battles, it may not be enough for me to encounter strong people fighting. Xiao Jing was also telling me that if possible, you might as well choose the good iron material, then make it roughly first, and then take it back to smelting and purifying it with magic, and finally forming it."

"Xiao Jing is really concerned about your affairs, but she also said that our Wenzhou is not even enough ordinary smelters, let alone smelters of magic." Ju Qi only spoke more when he was alone with Jiang Feng. "She said that if she could find even a lower-level smelter, she could support the magic magic Xuanshen to smelter high-level weapons."

Jiang Feng also understood the meaning of Ju Qi's words. Xu Jingxuan's cultivation level was very fast, and even Deng Guinian was amazed many times. However, Xu Jingxuan's cultivation level improved rapidly, but there was also a big flaw, that is, she had no special expertise in five-sex magic. She was very good as an auxiliary magician, but as a dedicated magician, she seemed a little unqualified. Her greater advantage was that she cooperated with others and could play a better role.

Including the battle at Wengangzha, the magician who is proficient in water-based magic is first burned by a magician who is proficient in water-based magic talismans and spells on the dragon horn, and then induced it through Xu Jing's powerful mysterious god, and finally activated it in the form of a magic array. It is not that Xu Jing is proficient in water-based magic.

When the founding of the Zhouzhou Province was inaugurated, everything was in trouble. There were not even a few decent blacksmith shops, so how could we talk about anything else?

It can be said that except for the craftsman who can make vegetation and leather armor, the most basic weapons cannot be forged, and they can only be purchased from the outside. The weapons purchased are not only expensive, but also of unstable quality.

Weapons like catapults and crossbows can be made, but these things are consumables and are of low quality and high price when produced. Even good men like He Decai are not satisfied with them. They have been clamoring to set up official bureaus under the tutoring office, and recruit a group of professional craftsmen rather than temporarily making dodgy apprentices to make money to make money to maximize production efficiency and quality.

In short, Wuzhou seems to have been established at first glance, but it is still far from a real state, especially in the development of industry and commerce, which is far from comparable to a real state capital. This requires a process, but Jiang Feng needs this process to be shorter so that Wuzhou can have the weather as a real city one day earlier.

"Then is the official establishment of Nanyang Prefecture, which is specially used to build weapons, armor and farm tools, but if you can't get in, there are soldiers guarding you." Ju Qi is not unfamiliar with Nanyang. In order to assassinate Liu Xuan, she also hid in Nanyang for a month and had some knowledge of all parts of Nanyang City. "This should be the private workshop area, which includes large-scale smelting and forging workshops for the big cities in the city, and some small workshops run by highly skilled craftsmen themselves, each with their own characteristics."

"Xi Niang, what do you mean by the unique characteristics?" Jiang Feng was still a little shocked at first glance.

This mall has at least dozens of iron smelting forging workshops of all sizes, all of which are brightly lit and jingle, and the guests are endless, with all kinds of bargaining sounds.

There are also some tea shops that are mixed in, obviously providing rest and negotiations for merchants who come to purchase or sell materials.

"The iron smelting forging industry in Nanyang is very developed. Not only does it produce a large amount, but they also have many specialized craftsmen here to create various special objects. For example, some people like to use metal wrist guards, robe nails, knee pads, and elbow pads, and even need to use magic to add blessings. Some weapons need to be blended with special substances for quality improvement, or magic to add blessings. They can be carried out here as long as you can afford the money."

Ju Qi seemed to be very familiar with this place, which also made Jiang Feng quite curious, "Madam Qi, could it be that your path blade was also made here?"

Ju Qi shook his head, "That's not. This is what my master passed on to me. I'm the most suitable one for using this Qinglu. However, many special weapons in our Lishan Sect will choose to customize them here. They will cost a lot every year, and the number of customized ones is more than 10 or 20 pieces. The cost is very high."

Jiang Feng thought of a little smell from Ju Lu's strange gaze, "Xiang Niang, have you met someone from your Lishan Sect?" (To be continued.)
