For Jiang Feng, what troubles him is more about internal problems.

Of course, external pressure is also huge, but as long as Xuzhou stabilizes internally, Jiang Feng is confident to deal with challenges from both the Shatuo people and the Khitan people, and he has no reason to feel that it is difficult for him to win this battle under such circumstances.

A steady stream of information came from Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou. While resting and breathing, Shatuo people were actively raising military funds and supplies, and the concentration direction was obviously to the southwest. He did not believe that Nanyang could not see this.

The facts proved that Nanyang's reaction was quite fast. So, the messenger had already come to Xuzhou and was willing to return it to Guangzhou for communication.

How do I eat it, how do I spit it out?

Things must not be that simple, and Nanyang must have other intentions, such as forming an alliance of three families is what they most want to promote, and this issue has also caused controversy within Xuzhou.

The reason for the loss of lips and cold teeth is very powerful. The strength shown by Shatuo people on Daliang did make many people who fled from Daliang to Xuzhou feel great pressure, especially their remarks and opinions also have a certain market within Xuzhou.

However, for Jiang Feng, this question is simple.

With preparation, Nanyang was not so easy to be defeated by the Shatuo people and annexed Shenzhou. Nanyang in Anzhou already had a bit of the momentum of a strong vassal, especially its advantages in magic and magic are more prominent.

Perhaps the territory of Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou that were swallowed by Er Liu would be quickly taken over by Shatuo people. As long as Nanyang did not attempt to defend these places and decisively retreated to the south of Fangcheng Mountain in Funiu Mountain to defend, the advantages of the Shatuo people's iron cavalry would be greatly reduced.

If it is really the turn of field battles and offensive and defensive battles in one city and one place, the Shatu people will feel the fresh feeling brought to them by the Nanyang infantry and magical strength.

Of course, there are hidden dangers, that is, the relationship between Dajin and Caizhou.

If the Jin Dynasty can convince Caizhou to relax the western passage between Xuzhou and Caizhou, then Nanyang will face tremendous pressure. Whether it can defend the lines of Ciqiu, Biyang and Tongbai will become the key to Nanyang's life and death.

But it would be difficult for Shatuo people to convince Caizhou. The story of false attack on Guo was enough to make Yuan Huaihe think twice. Even if he formed an alliance with Xuzhou, Caizhou would be the first to face the impact of Shatuo Iron Cavalry, especially Caizhou itself, which is its fundamental place. There is a huge risk to spread the hole in the west.

Perhaps the Shatu people think they can offer Caizhou an undeniable condition, such as Shenzhou and Anzhou?

But have the Shatu people never considered their feelings?

Caizhou now dares to accept this condition without asking for Xuzhou's opinions?

It was a bit interesting, Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing. There was still some time, and the Shatuo people were not strong enough, and they also needed to rest and breathe.

At the same time, as the climate becomes hotter and hotter, the various Hu Tie Cavalry from the northern desert outside the Great Wall may not be able to adapt to the climate of the Central Plains. They will soon realize that the Central Plains is different from Hedong and even outside the Great Wall.

If they were smarter, the Shatu people would find that it might be the best time for them to use their troops until the autumn is clear and cool in September.

Wang Miao went to Heshuo again.

Since we have determined to establish a frontier position against the Khitans on the Di, Cang and De, we must of course use all our resources.

The Wang family has been deeply rooted in the states of Chengde Town for many years, and these traces cannot be easily erased after the Zhang family usurped power. What's more, Zhang Chujin's current situation is not good. Several years of drought have exhausted the remaining vitality of this land. Now this land is like a paper lantern, broken with one punch.

What Jiang Feng needs to consider now is how to restore the vitality of this area as soon as possible after taking over the three prefectures of Di, Cang and De, so that it can play a role in resisting the Khitans' southward journey in the future. This is what needs to be seriously considered. It is difficult to last long by transporting food and food from the south. Jiang Feng does not think that Di, Cang and De will only become war fortresses. This is the North China Plain, and the fertility of the land is no less than that of the Central Plains. If it weren't for the war and the military militancy of the three towns of Heshuo, how could it have fallen to this level?

However, if we want the three prefectures of Di, Cang and De to develop again, this is another major project that requires time-consuming, labor-intensive and money-intensive. Until the threat of the Khitans is solved, Jiang Feng will not be able to really invest big things.

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

The war to conquer the two prefectures of Chu and Yang have begun. Chai Yong led the Wuning Army and Tian Chunlai's Huai River naval army to attack Shanyang, while Kou Wenli's Chaohu naval army was carried out with Xu Ziqing's Huai You Army, and Mei Kuang was responsible for command and coordination of the entire war.

Because the two battlefields were far apart, Mei Kuang also gave Jiang Feng a suggestion, suggesting that Chai Yong have greater authority to facilitate the change of power in the face of opportunity. Jiang Feng accepted this suggestion.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" Jiang Feng smiled, "Chu Yang, let Mei Kuang and others handle it with full authority. I believe that under this situation, Li Bing has no room for reversal. Qian Yuanguan's enthusiasm is higher than we imagined. He has captured the entire Changzhou and is about to attack Runzhou. Li Bing is now losing sight of one thing."

"Prince, there are many urgent matters, and there are a few things on the Zhengshi Hall." Chen Wei knew that Jiang Feng was in a good mood, so he was also concise. "The iron ore mining of Liguojian may need to be further expanded. The iron smelting center is in good condition, and the production efficiency is getting higher and higher. Ore mining is not enough. The smelting furnace cannot be easily stopped. Therefore, at least another 1,200 people are needed to mine it. The situation in the forging workshop is similar. Once the production capacity is increased, the entire chain will have to expand the production scale."

Now Chen Wei is able to skillfully use popular words such as "production capacity", "chain", and "production efficiency" to explain his work.

As the head of the Political Affairs Hall, he shouldn't have put so much attention on it, but the smelting center is indeed too important. It can be said that it concerns whether the entire Xuzhou finance can be supported.

The status and value of Xuzhou's smelting center have far exceeded that of Shouzhou yellow porcelain kiln, which is also expanding its production scale. Even with the tea-making industry in Xuzhou, it is far less than the benefits brought by Xuzhou smelting center. Hu merchants have more confidence in Xuzhou.

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

Haizhou's salt manufacturing industry has also introduced a new salt drying method, which has greatly improved the efficiency of salt making, which cannot be separated from the help of techniques, especially in helping to refine coarse salt.

Both Persian Hu merchants and Sogdian Hu merchants were extremely shocked by the development of Xuzhou's large-scale iron smelting industry, but the reality before them was that one truck after another was produced, and some were sent to the smelting workshop and turned into various iron tools, and some were directly turned into fine steel.

This is almost the burning of money after furnace, which makes the Hu merchants' eyes red with envy. However, Nighthawk's strict prevention measures and strict continuity methods ensure the confidentiality of smelting technology. The Hu merchants are not very interested in industry. What they are more interested in is to obtain the franchise rights of these products, which can allow them to sell to various places outside the Xuzhou General Administration to earn excess profits.

"This matter can be finalized immediately. The iron smelting center is the foundation of the future of our Xuzhou General Administration. Only by producing a large amount of iron can we support our future war with the Shatuo people and the Khitans. This is our confidence. We have Shouzhou, Luzhou, Haozhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou, Shuzhou, and Chuzhou and Yangzhou. The grain produced in the entire Huainan is enough to support the needs of the people under the entire Xuzhou General Administration. Even if the towns in Wuning, Tianping, Ziqing, and Pinglu are suffering from drought again, I have the confidence to calm the price of grain."

Jiang Feng seemed full of confidence, "The iron materials produced in Xuzhou will also meet the needs of the Xuzhou General Administration and will also bring rich returns to Xuzhou. We are seeing this, and in the future, more industries can be derived from the abundant supply of iron materials. The Arts and Materials Office is conducting research on these aspects. I believe that they will have results in no time."

With the emergence of the iron smelting center, Jiang Feng also had the reason and confidence to provide greater financial support to the Skills and Laws Institute, which made the Skills and Laws Institute increasingly larger. In addition to the construction of this court that was relocated to Xuzhou, the branches of the Shizhou were also overcrowded.

Wizards who fled from the Central Plains flocked to the Hanzhou, because there were the best research conditions here, and Xuzhou could also provide them with everything they needed.

Deng Guinian's influence played a huge role in both Bianliang and Luoyang. Almost all of Daocangzhai in Bianliang were accepted by Xuzhou. In just a few months, Xuzhou's Arts and Materials Official Academy (including the Jiezhou Branch) welcomed nearly 300 talents at the level of sorcerers, magicians, magicians and even magician masters.

Seeing that Jiang Feng had signs of improvisation, Chen Wei quickly interrupted the other party: "The prince, there is another urgent problem, and the plan to promote the inspection and land in the four northern towns and prefectures."

This is a real problem.

The strategy of probing the territory was originally implemented in the three states of Guangxishou, which caused a huge uproar. However, at that time, there were only a few states. The gentry in these three states had also competed with Jiang Feng, but after a compromise, they finally implemented it as they wished.

And that is also based on the premise that the rampant ant thieves caused a large amount of land abandonment.
