Wang Wenchong sat there for a while, then said goodbye to his son Wang Mingqi and left the camp.
"This Wang Wenchong is a smart man who knows how to assess the situation..." Han Gui looked at Wang Wenchong, and Wang Mingqi walked out of the camp gate and said to Shi Zhen with emotion.
Shi Zhen sleeved his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and said:
"Wang Wenchong spent half his life in the yamen, but his vision was not limited by those stupid people and turned into a stubborn old stubborn. Of course, he must be considered a smart man. However, whether the marriage can be successful depends on Jieshuai and Wang Fan's nod. There are many things
We can’t go into details at this time, but if Wang Wenchong was really a smart man, he would definitely arrange for the Wang family’s children to participate in the encirclement and reclamation. The Wang family also farmed and studied, but they were used to enjoying peace and wealth. Too many people were used to opportunism, and there were many boasters.
, perhaps only a few people with courage and pride can be found from the younger generation..."
"Han Gyu saves the trouble." Han Gyu nodded and said thoughtfully.
For the marriage to be possible, not only did the Wang family pour tens and hundreds of thousands of gold into Lifengtang, but also Chushan established Nancai County north of Jingjiang River. Of course, the people and material resources of Shuangliu Village and the Wang family must be used as much as possible for the encirclement and reclamation.
The influence of his various connections in Ezhou Prefecture.
At this time, Wang Wenchong suddenly became enthusiastic about the marriage between Xu Huai and Wang Xuan. Of course, he also took a fancy to the rise of Chushan and wanted to cling to it.
However, the rise of Chushan relied on the cohesion of the clans in the countryside to a certain extent, but more importantly, it was about unity, gathering the bottom power of the clan, and trying to limit as much as possible a small group of people in the clan from expropriating too many benefits.
Han Gui stayed and temporarily took over the post of Nancai County Magistrate. Next, he will be mainly responsible for dealing with the Wang family, and he needs to grasp many measures.
Wang Fan crossed the river from Jiangxia and rushed to Huangpi to supervise the battle the next day. However, Shi Zhen did not rush to Huangpi to see Wang Fan. He waited in Hanchuan for three days and set off after Wang Wenchong sent over the first batch of 20,000 guan.
Returned north.
In addition to sending the first batch of 20,000 guan, Wang also spread the news in Hanchuan, Huangpi and other places to sell the fields and houses held by Zhufang in these places to help Lifengtang raise funds for reclamation in Nancai Enclosure.
Money and food, this is enough to represent Wang Fan's attitude.
Shi Zhen hurried back to Wuyang and learned that Xu Huai had gone to Ruzhou to inspect the defense. However, he did not rush to meet Xu Huai. Instead, he grabbed Su Laochang and ran to Xu Wujiang's house as a guest.
Although the descendants of the Wang family in Jingzhou, represented by Wang Ju, Wang Xian, Wang Jun, Wang Zhang, Fan Yong, Fan Zongqi, Shi Hu and others, occupy a decisive position in Chushan, no one can deny that when Xu Huai was growing up,
The Xu family, represented by Xu Wuqi, Xu Wujiang, Xu Wukun, Su Laochang, Xu Xinan and others, played an irreplaceable role.
In particular, Xu Wujiang’s wife Su Di played the role of both mother and aunt to Xu Huai.
The biggest obstacle to marriage in Chushan is not other people, but Liu Qiong'er.
Since the rise of Chushan, Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er have gone hand in hand, and their relationship is extremely deep, and everyone has seen it. Although everyone can see that Liu Qiong'er does not reject Wang Xuan, Shi Zhen feels that he still has to
It would be better for Xu Wujiang and Su Di to come forward and ask Liu Qiong'er to pierce the window paper first.
“Ms.
She took this matter over and blamed her father, Su Laochang, and her husband, Xu Wujiang, for blocking her in the past few years. "Miss Liu is also a sensible person. I will talk to her tomorrow..."
After Su Di asked Liu Qiong'er to open the window paper, Shi Zhen set off for Ruzhou to meet Xu Huai.
…………
…………
Shi Zhen rushed to Ruzhou and learned that Xu Huai did not stay in Ruzhou city, but entered Jishan Mountain. He stayed there for three or four days but had no intention of going down. So he ignored the days of running and walked along the road.
The newly opened mountain road along the Huangjian River leads to Dayuzhai and Dahongzhai deep in Jishan Mountain.
In Jishan in early September, the grass and trees have not yet started to wither. The red and yellow colors on the valley slopes are brilliant. Walking slowly north along the narrow road for forty or fifty miles, you will see a stick of smoke rising in the distance.
, like dark gray clouds, gathering over the valley in front of them.
Seeing this situation, Shi Zhen was very relieved: that was a grand occasion for porcelain being fired in Jishan kiln.
In addition to Lushan County in Ruzhou, which produced celadon and flowered porcelain in the previous dynasty, people in Yangzhai and other places in Xuzhou also discovered very early on that deep in Jishan Mountain, located northeast of Ruzhou City and southwest of Yangzhai City in Xuzhou, Huang
The soil on both sides of the upper reaches of the Jianhe River is suitable for firing ceramics.
However, the soil along the upper reaches of the Huangjian River is rich in color impurities, which often causes unexpected changes in glaze color during the firing process.
In the contemporary world, changes in glaze color that occurred during the firing of vessels were called kiln changes, and kiln changes were considered unknown in the contemporary world. Porcelain freaks needed to be destroyed and smashed once they appeared.
Therefore, for a long time, Ruzhou kiln owners did not bother to go to Jishan to open kilns and fire porcelain. After all, Lushan flower porcelain was already well-known in Hehuai Province.
Therefore, even though the Huangjian River converges from the depths of Jishan Mountain, flows through the northern part of the Ruzhou Basin, and merges into the Beishui River, there has been no road along the Huangjian River into the mountain for a long time.
However, at the northeastern foot of Jishan Mountain, the kilns in Yangdi County, which is affiliated with Xuzhou, have no better quality clay resources nearby. For two to three hundred years, they have been quietly firing some inferior porcelain in the depths of Jishan Mountain to supply the countryside and the ceramic industry.
The development is far less than that of Lushan County in Ruzhou and other places.
However, in the past 30 to 40 years, Jishan kiln owners have been constantly exploring materials for making glazed bodies on the basis of Lushan Hua Porcelain and Guancheng Chai kiln, summarizing experiences and lessons in kiln flame control, etc., which can not only stably control the kiln transformation process
, based on the monotonous porcelain of the time such as celadon, black porcelain and white porcelain, he fired Jishan porcelain with rich and varied colors, which became famous for a while.
Even though the Jishan kiln at this time was not as shocking as the Junzhou (Yangzhai) porcelain that was later known as it, during the Tianxuan period, with Dayu and Dahong villages as the core, more than 20 kilns were built on both sides of the Huangjian Valley.
There were hundreds of merchants going back and forth in this porcelain kiln, transporting Jishan porcelain to Hehuai, Heluo and other places for sale. The Chihu invaded the south and business routes were interrupted. Jishan porcelain and Ruzhou Lushan flower porcelain both developed.
has come to a standstill, but in addition to the Lushan Hua Porcelain Kiln mostly distributed along the North Juishui River, the Jishan Porcelain Kiln is located deep in Jishan - even though the upper reaches of the Huangjian River valley belongs to Yangzhai County in Xuzhou, in order to facilitate the transportation of porcelain from the mountain, a relatively spacious pack transport has been opened for decades.
The mountain road is also extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In recent years, many of the kiln owners in Jishan have also been very wealthy. Not only have they raised many servants and guarded the courtyards, but also used Dayuzhai, Dahongzhai and other Wubao as strongholds to practice village soldiers' bravery after they captured the Southern invaders.
, withstood a small group of enemy troops from attacking Jishan, and protected the porcelain kilns in the mountains and the local kiln owners who mainly fired porcelain.
Chu Mountain developed according to the Tongbai Mountains, with many peaks and ridges, undulating valleys, and extremely limited cultivated land.
Under such conditions, Chushan still wanted to achieve self-sufficiency in money and food. The only way was to promote the development of primary products that could be produced on a large scale as much as possible according to the current technological level.
In addition to crops, there are very limited primary products that can be produced on a large scale in the world.
In addition to salt production, coal mining, paper making, gold, silver, iron and copper mining and smelting, candle making, coinage, oil extraction, shipbuilding and other industries, porcelain refining is definitely not easy to ignore.
Xu Huai encouraged Han Changfu, Zhou Xuyi and other rebel generals to lead the black-shirted troops to retreat to Dahongzhai in Jishan for rest and recuperation. In addition to hoping that they would rely on the steep mountains in the eastern section of Jishan to actively resist the infiltration of Japanese soldiers into Jishan and protect the north of Ruzhou.
In addition to the northwest wing of Xiangcheng, there is another major factor, which is that Xu Huai valued the Jishan kiln households in the upper reaches of the Huangjian River.
After all, when Xu Huai led his troops to sneak into Bianliang, Ruzhou, which is famous for its production of flower porcelain and celadon, was still under the control of the Zheng family.
After the fall of Ruyang, since the Lushan porcelain kilns were mainly distributed along the North Kuai River, the kilns were severely damaged by enemy forces, and the kiln owners fled south with their kiln workers, especially skilled potters, to make a living. The Ruzhou porcelain industry suffered heavy losses.
This makes the Jishan kilns and kiln households in the upper reaches of the Huangjian River even more important.
After the situation calmed down in April, Xu Huai not only recruited the black shirt troops who had retreated to Dahongzhai to resist the enemy, but also forcibly incorporated the forces of Wuzhai in the eastern section of Jishan including Dayuzhai.
Yuzhai was used as the base, and the Huangjiandu Inspection Department was set up. Wang Zhang led 2,000 elite troops to garrison in the upper reaches of the Huangjian River valley to ensure that Jishan Kiln resumed production.
At the same time, thousands of men and horses were used to dig plank roads along the rugged and steep Huangjian River Valley, making it easier for the porcelain fired in Jishan Kiln to be transported south to Jingxiang and other places for sale.
Of course, it is not enough to restore the production of Jishan Kiln. The Lushan Kiln along the Beishui River produced patterned porcelain, white porcelain and celadon on a larger scale before the war.
Next, on the one hand, they will organize the Lushan kiln owners who are still in Ruzhou to resume production. On the other hand, the camp will seize the porcelain kiln of the escaped kiln owner as official property, and recruit craftsmen from Jishan in the name of Lifengtang to resume production...
