Jiang Feng was very satisfied with Zheng's attitude.

Those who know the times are heroes, and those who go against the trend are often eliminated by the trend. The Zheng family is obviously well aware of the three flavors.

Since he cooperated and supported this way, Jiang Feng was of course not stingy with giving him a date to taste.

"Well, I know that the Zheng family is based on grain business. Huoqiu and Anfeng are a major grain-producing county in Shouzhou, but they are now abandoned. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Wenzhou, the two counties of Huoshan are now damaged by the poison of ant thieves and are being rebuilt. I think Huoqiu and Anfeng should follow the example, and the Zheng family can play a greater role."

Zheng Ju was also a little dissatisfied while being happy.

Jiang Feng is rewarding for his business. This is certainly a good thing, but it is far from enough.

Anfeng and Huoqiu are now in a white land. To rebuild the situation before the ants thieves arrive, from recruiting refugees to distributing supplies, settling up residences, etc., it requires a lot of real money and silver investment.

Of course, Zheng was willing to participate, especially Anfeng.

Anfeng is close to Shaobi, and is the biggest beneficiary of Shaobi's water conservancy irrigation project. The land around Shaobi is the essence of the fish and rice town, and has always been the sphere of influence of the Umeda family. If the Zheng family can infiltrate this time, it will undoubtedly be a breakthrough.

Huoqiu is the fundamental place of Zheng's family, and reconstruction is of course unavoidable. However, in this way, a large amount of Zheng's resources need to be consumed on reconstruction. If there is no other reward, this defensive and defending master would seem too stingy.

Seeing the third son of Zheng looking at him with resentment, Jiang Feng also knew that this alone would definitely not satisfy the other party's expectations.

However, the Zheng family's appetite is too big and it does not conform to its own concept. Shouzhou is an important part of its layout in the future and needs to be built vigorously. No one is allowed to gain absolute control in Shouzhou, but the Zheng family's front does need to be comforted at the moment.

"I want to restore Shouzhou Official Kiln, I hope the Zheng family can help me." Jiang Feng took the teacup leisurely and took a sip.

"Ah?!" Zheng Ju, Zheng Hong and Zheng Hui were shocked all over, "My Lord wants to rebuild Shouzhou official kiln? Do you think this is true?"

"Well, can I still joke with the three?" Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed, "I heard that Guan was a relative of his children with Mr. Zheng. He was originally the manager of Shouzhou Official Kiln. Why did he go to Tanzhou? What treatment did the Ma family give Guan's family to let his family escape?"

Zheng Ju was also shocked. Why did the other party even know about Shouzhou decades ago? Then he thought, since the other party had made up his mind to restore Shouzhou official kiln, he must have spent a long time on this, and this kind of thing was not a secret. Although it was a long time ago, like Mei family and Tian family, they knew this kind of thing well, and it was not difficult for Jiang Feng to learn about the situation.

"I'm afraid that I know the inside story, right? The housekeeper offended the Shi family. Although Shouzhou is located in Huainan, the Shi family's territory is also separated from Shouzhou. Who can afford to offend the Shi family?" Zheng Ju was also a little sad.

The Guan family was also a large family in Shouzhou. Although they could not compare with the three Umeda Zheng families, the Guanjia was always the natural heir to Shouzhou kiln art. However, because they offended the Shi family, they had to move their family south.

Jiang Feng naturally knew the inside story. Twenty years ago, it was the heyday of the Shi family's power. Not to mention Shouzhou, even Wu and Yue countries wanted to make the Shi family a little bit. At that time, only the Dajin and Shi family could fight against Daliang. The only ones who could fight against Shouzhou did not dare to get into evil with the Shi family, let alone you, an ordinary surname.

"Well, I don't want to ask more about the previous incident. I guess Mr. Zheng and Guan have letters, right?" Jiang Feng waved his hand, "I think Guan may not live comfortably in Tanzhou. It's better to go back to Shouzhou. I can solemnly promise that when Guan comes back, the Shouzhou official kiln will be handed over to Zheng and Guan, and the kiln area will be selected and the workers will be selected. As long as I see the official kiln rebuilt, I can produce enough Shouzhou porcelain yellow for me!..."

Zheng Jusan was still hesitating, and Jiang Feng said again: "As for other worries, there is no need. Since he is a defensive and guard commander of Guangxu, no one can cross the situation in Shouzhou, and no one can do it!"

The domineering words made the third son of Zheng tremble in his heart.

It seems that this sudden defensive and defensive master is really a bit powerful and domineering. Although the Shi family is now subject to the ants thieves' rebellion, I'm afraid that no one around is willing to get into evil with the Shi family, right?

But this person didn't care about this at all. The tough attitude he showed was also eye-catching, and it also showed from another perspective that this defensive and defending master was absolutely confident in the combat power of the Hanzhou Army.

Such a bait thrown by Jiang Feng is not bad.

To be precise, in addition to being an important commercial port in the middle of the Huai River, Shouzhou produces two major items: one is grain, but Shouzhou porcelain.

There is no need to mention the grain. In the five counties of old Shouzhou, except for Huoshan, which are not considered granaries, the other four counties are large grain-producing counties. Therefore, Shouzhou has always been the main distribution center for grain. It enters the canal through the Huai River and enters the Central Plains and to Guanzhong. It can also go to the Huai River to trace back to Shenzhou, enter Nanyang through the Southeast Avenue and enter Guanzhong through the Wuguan Road.

In addition to grain, it is Shouzhou porcelain.

Shouzhou porcelain Huangnai is a famous porcelain that is as famous as celadon and white porcelain, but its output is far less than celadon white porcelain.

However, with the continuous wars in the Heshuo area, the production of white kilns in Xingzhou decreased day by day, and white porcelain was also produced in Daliang.

However, the celadon in Yuedi was very prosperous and sold to all places. However, the celadon was located in the southeast corner, which was inconvenient to transport. In addition, its output was far from meeting the needs of various places, especially places like the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Western Regions, and Mobei, which were even more unattainable.

If the production of Shouzhou Kiln can be restored, Jiang Feng felt that this would probably be the greatest reliance for supporting such a huge army in the future.

Outsiders only see their infinite scenery, and only Jiang Feng himself knows his weakness.

The consumption required by the Fourth Army's 10,000 people was not something that the outside world could calculate. According to Chen Wei and Cui Shang and others' estimates, even if they were doing their best to support the Fourth Army, the financial resources of the Hanzhou could only support the autumn grain storage. This was all thanks to Daliang, Nanyang and Ehuang Zhouji support.

Once these business operations are gone, they will have to stop immediately. In other words, the current Xuzhou army has no money and food to fight.

This is not enough to count the needs of the Ya Army and the Cavalry, especially the Cavalry. Even if the Xiazhou war horses are sent, people eat horses and chew them, that number can still scare people.

The reason why the state of Gwangju was able to support such a large army was that Xu almost monopolized many businesses in the province, such as salt, iron, wine and tea, and Xu himself was also a large grain gentry in Gwangju.

But even that made Xu unable to support him.

It can be said that the reason why the Xu family wanted to annex Shenzhou was that they were forced to expand their army to such a large scale. If they did not expand their territory immediately, they were afraid that the Xu family would be dragged down by this army.

The scale of the Xu army in the state has now expanded to a stage similar to that of the Xu family in Gwangju, but after the poisoning of the ant thief and the Yuan family, as well as the subsequent wars, all aspects have not yet recovered. Many affairs in the state, such as the implementation of the procuratorial policy, have not been fully implemented, and it will take some time to take effect. Therefore, the Xu army in the state cannot hold on anymore, let alone fight.

When Jiang Feng was in Chang'an, he was already considering this issue. To expand his strength, he would have to expand his territory. To expand his territory, he would have to expand his army. To expand his army, he would have to ask for money and food. To seize Shouzhou, the problem of food can basically be met, but where does the money come from?

Armor, weapons, horses, clothing, salary, food and grass, as well as the magic materials of the Taoist sect, the salaries of officials, the construction of water conservancy roads and the construction of urban defense systems, are consumed every day, and the land taxes and commercial taxes in the three states cannot be supported at all, and the difference is too far.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to put his ideas on Ju Luo’s two uncles Hu Shang.

Even if you dig three feet of the ground, you can't get the money you need to expand the army, so you can only ask the Hu merchants to borrow money.

But Hu merchants are not stupid either. The things that kill Qiufeng and eat big people are all disposable, so don’t think about it in the future, so Jiang Feng did not intend to do the kind of fishing in the waters, so he had to find a way that everyone could accept.

Nowadays, Zhongtu and Dadi can sell foreign markets and make high profits, and there are only four major items: tea, silk, porcelain, iron, and others are all minor items.

After all, only Shouzhou porcelain is the most immediate effect, and Shouzhou porcelain is different from others. It has a foundation. As long as it can recover quickly, it will immediately re-enter the peak period.

Using this as collateral, Jiang Feng could obtain a large amount of money loan from Chang'an Hu Shang to support his military expansion. This is Jiang Feng's plan.

This is also the result of discussion between Jiang Feng, Nashin and Karim.

If the regime in Xuzhou can be stable and can have stable income, then Hu merchants are of course willing to support Xuzhou with money according to the situation.

However, it is definitely difficult to borrow money from Hu Shang to satisfy Jiang Feng by relying solely on land tax and merchant tax. In particular, Jiang Feng intends to further expand the cavalry scale of the Hanzhou Army, so the gap will be even greater.

Therefore, it is relying on Shouzhou Kiln, and at the same time, we must further expand our army and strive to further expand our territory.

Jiang Feng's attitude was clear, and Zheng Ju was also thinking about it.

Huaibei is currently poisoned by ant thieves, and Jiang takes over Shouzhou. It is estimated that the Shi family will not dare to provoke Jiang for the time being. It is a good idea to let the butler return from Tanzhou.

The butler also cultivated a group of kiln-burning talents in Tanzhou, and his business has improved in Tanzhou, but he still cannot compare with Shouzhou.

The old kilns here are all ready-made, and according to what Jiang Feng said just now, they will definitely expand the scale significantly, and Shouzhou porcelain should be the main focus.
