Jiang Feng lit the first fire for the Shouzhou Kiln to reopen the kiln.

As the flames rose, the blazing flames reflected on Jiang Feng's red face and satisfied smile seemed to confirm that Shouzhou porcelain kiln was about to enter the stage of revival.

For Jiang Feng, the reconstruction and resumption of work of Shouzhou porcelain kiln is really important. It will become one of the two pillars for the development and growth of the Huaiyou Army in the future. In addition to building the two Huaishou Prefectures into Huaihang granaries, Shouzhou porcelain kilns will also shoulder the important task of earning back a large amount of military capital for Huaiyou in the future.

The news that Wang Miao sent back from Heshuo scared Jiang Feng.

In the letter, Wang Miao said that although it has not been completely finalized, he was confident that he could persuade the Heshuo army that went south to Huaiyou, which had already had five or six thousand troops, of which the number of cavalry accounted for more than half.

However, the equipment of these cavalry is relatively pitiful. Not only does it have only one war horse per capita, but it also has basically incomplete equipment such as horse lances, horizontal swords, and armor as essential cavalry. It is quite expensive to fill these war horses and weapons, armor and equipment.

As for the remaining thousands of infantry troops, Jiang Feng welcomed them. Heshuo has always produced strong soldiers, but the Heshuo army has always been a problem in military discipline, but it is largely due to the management and training problems of the three towns of Heshuo.

As long as they come to Huaiyou, Jiang Feng is sure to let these Heshuo soldiers maintain their original unruly nature while making them tempered into elite soldiers who are prohibited.

Wang Miao was still active in Heshuo. According to his own prediction, he would try to lobby and persuade two or three thousand troops to come south. The current situation in Heshuo is very bad, and for Huaiyou, this is exactly the best opportunity.

Most of these armies have experienced the battles of war against the Hedong Jin or Khitan and Tuyuhun people. Even though they have declined due to their poor situation in recent years, they are still full of blood. As long as they are slightly supplemented and trained again, they can quickly return to their best state.

In the letter, Wang Miao also talked about some of the troubles that these troops may bring to the south.

First, such a large number of troops heading south, even if the branches heading south, they need to consider how to pass. Perhaps Heshuo can communicate and coordinate through Daliang, but it still needs to pass through Caizhou or Huaibei, which is also a problem.

Second, most of the family and relatives involved in these armies are still in the northern prefectures of Lulong. A considerable number of them may go south to Huaiyou, and some will stay locally. This also requires connection and coordination with Lulong through Daliang.

Third, these armies will greatly increase the financial pressure of Huaiyou, which is very tight.

At present, Huaiyou can no longer obtain money and grain support from Daliang, Nanyang and Ehuang like more than a year ago.

Nanyang has become an enemy, and E Huang's attitude towards Huai You is also changing, from its original allies to its current doubts. As for Daliang, although he still maintains an ally relationship, with the close relationship between Huai You and Guanzhong, Daliang's attitude towards Huai You is also somewhat unpredictable.

Without external support, we can only rely on ourselves. Fortunately, there is also support from Persian Hu merchants, but this support is based on the premise that the situation in Huaiyou should improve and at the same time, there must be sufficient resources to make Hu merchants tempted.

For Hu merchants, the rebuilt Shouzhou porcelain kiln is undoubtedly the most important collateral.

As long as the Shouzhou porcelain kiln continues to burn Shouzhou porcelain, the Hu merchants will be willing to continuously provide military resources for the Huaiyou Army, whether it is war horses or money.

Jiang Feng, who came from that time and space, knew the relationship between good finance and military power. Even in the era of cold weapons, the farming dynasty with strong financial strength could still compete with the nomadic army with super mobile capabilities on the northern grasslands.

He also realized that the era he is facing now is different from any era in his original time and space. The rise and even prosperity of magic and magic are already subtly changing the laws of war, and the development of magic and magic and magic are particularly important for the demand for funds.

If Shouzhou is just a simple granary, it is unlikely that it will support a complete First-Closer Army. If Shouzhou Kiln can be completely rejuvenated and return to its glorious era, then it is not impossible to support the First-Closer Army, even the Two-Closer Army.

If Shouchun's commercial port can be maximized and become a real material distribution center in the Huai River Basin, then everything will not be a problem.

Zheng Ju's eyes were also leaping with a bright light, without any of the sluggish look of the past.

The return of the butler and the reconstruction of the Shouzhou Kiln undoubtedly made the Zheng family much heavier in front of the defensive and guardian. The attitude of the defensive and guardian in person to participate in the kiln ignition can be seen how much he attaches importance to this matter.

At present, Shouzhou is still in a state of military control, but it is said that the defensive and guard envoy has written to Guanzhong to request the court to make appointments and removals to Shouzhou officials and personnel.

Chen Wei, the chief of the defensive commander, went to Chang'an, and should have gone to consult with the court for personnel in the governor of Shouzhou, the chief of the chief, the Sima and the Six Caos.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Ju knew that he might be the chief minister of the Shou Prefecture. Originally, Zheng Ju intended to let Zheng Hong take over, but Jiang Feng rejected this opinion and asked Zheng Hong to take over as the inspector of the defensive and guarding envoy, which made the Zheng family inexplicably excited.

According to the system since the late Tang Dynasty, the defense guard and the guard commander's office set up one defense guard and the deputy commander, one judge, one provocateur, and one inspector. However, as the forces of the vassal states expanded, the system collapsed, whether it was the Jiedu, Observer, Support Commander, Team Training Commander or Defense Commander, they quickly followed the Jiedu.

The officials established by the Jieduan Mansion were also used in accordance with the interpretation of the observation envoy, the tutor, the tutor, the defensive envoy, and the defensive envoy, and many official positions originally lacked in the Tang system of defense and guards.

Positions like Chief Shi, Sima, Yatui were not originally in the defense and guarding the envoy's mansion, but have long become a common practice in various places. But even so, the position of Inspector is still an important position that cannot be ignored in the Jiedushi's mansion.

There is no doubt that this is a reward from Jiang Feng to the Zheng family, and this reward is also meaningful, which means that the children of the Zheng family have entered the core level of the defensive and guarding envoy mansion.

You should know that the current local tribes who hold important positions in the defense and guard mansion have no one else except Chen Wei who has been following Jiang Feng since the beginning. Even Huang, Ju, Xu and other families have no one to serve. Zheng Hong is the second person.

"Sir, if the twelve kilns can be built one after another within this year, Shouzhou porcelain will not only be able to return to its peak of its former peak, but also surpass that time. It will not be impossible for Shouzhou porcelain to reach twice or even triple the peak of its previous peak of next year."

Zheng Ju's words made Jiang Feng feel better.

"Haha, Lord Zheng, this Shouzhou porcelain kiln will be in trouble in the future. You can tell clearly that the head of the Guan clan, Jiang Feng promised that the butler's share in it will not change due to the expansion of the kiln scale. However, the butler must teach this firing technology. I don't need him to teach outsiders. Whether it is the children of the housekeeper or the children of the Zheng family, it is not important to me. As long as they can burn good porcelain for me, Huaiyou, but remember that the fire technology of Shouzhou cannot be spread out, but can only be fired in our Shouzhou."

Zheng Ju made a sudden blow in his heart and said hesitantly: "Sir, it's just that butler is in Tanzhou..."

Jiang Feng laughed, "Mr. Zheng, I don't believe that the butler can teach the firing technology thoroughly in other places. If it is an ordinary skill, it would be fine. If it really wants to make excellent works, will the butler pass on the secrets?"

Zheng Ju smiled bitterly. The defensive and defending commander was so smart in these aspects. It is hard to imagine that this guy was actually a young man in his early twenties. This is a careful consideration of people's hearts and thoughts. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this. It is no wonder that this person has been able to reach such a position in the past or two years.

As the two were talking, two Hu men with green eyes and twisted beards were already walking over with a slight brow.

"Mr. Jiang, Master Zheng."

"Karim, Nashin, how about it? I haven't said anything, right? As soon as the kiln is opened, gold is everywhere. The next step depends on your two of you."

These two are now the big financial owners of Huaiyou. The Persian Hu merchants represented by them are now the largest source of funds for Huaiyou. In addition to Shouzhou Kiln, Persian Hu merchants have now set their minds on tea.

Before the Middle Tang Dynasty, the tea in Huainan was ranked as the best, Shenzhou and Shuzhou were followed, Lao Shouzhou was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Huoshan counties again, Qizhou and Huangzhou were the best, which was recorded in Lu Yu's "Tea Classic".

But in fact, as time goes by, tea gardens in various places have risen and fallen due to population mobility and war. Although the tea produced in Shenzhou is good, the tea produced in Shouzhou, which is now in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan, is also not bad, but the scale is not large.

With the introduction of Huoqiu and Anfeng and Shouchun counties into Huaiyou control, especially Anfeng and Huoqiu have already made it clear that they will be built into Huaiyou granary bases in the future. Therefore, for the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan, the pressure on grain production was not that great, and it became possible to develop tea gardens and export tea for export.

This time Karim and Nashin came to Shouzhou. In addition to coming to Shouzhou porcelain, they also shoulder the task of exporting tea in Gwangju and Xuzhou.

"Mr. Jiang, although Shouzhou porcelain is something we urgently need, you also know that the northwest is bitter and cold, and the countries in the Western Regions are even more happy without tea. There is a huge demand for tea. Moreover, tea is not like porcelain, it is a daily necessity and consumes a lot every year. So if these two states of Guangxi can do something in this matter, it will naturally be a great thing."
