When Zheng Jian arrived at the Volcano Army, Du Zhongxiao was most afraid of something that something happened in Tanglong Town, but something happened. How could it be that coincidental that Dangxiang had arrived in Tanglong Town and was targeted by the Khitans. Once he arrived in Dongshengzhou, he would catch them all. The most afraid of such a thing in Tanglong Town was that it made the merchants who came and went to feel unsafe. Sometimes, even if he knew it was a detailed work, he would pretend not to know.

Let Feng Yuan leave and Du Zhongxiao return to his seat.

Zheng Jian didn't ask what happened, but drank wine and ate meat, and left the shop with Du Zhongxiao.

In the summer evening, the ferry entrance is very lively, people wander along the river, and various hawkers shuttle through the crowd.

Standing under the willow tree by the river and looking at the calm and quiet river, Zheng Jian said to Du Zhongxiao beside him: "Xia Xianggong is the Privy Councilor, and he intends to let you go to the General Secretary and become the judge and leave the Volcanic Army. What do you think?"

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

At the beginning of the year, Xia Su left Hebei Road and entered the court as the Privy Councilor. He remembered Du Zhongxiao's old subordinate, and wrote a letter to Zheng Jian, hoping that Du Zhongxiao would leave the Volcano Army and serve as the full-time judge of the General Secretary. Xia Su meant that Du Zhongxiao could occupy Tanglong Town and rebuild Bitouzhai. He happened to go to the General Secretary to display his talents and build a fort in the border areas of Hedong Road, making achievements and promoting himself. He was not easy to be a prefectural official, but the Privy Council was not easy to interfere.

Zheng Jian knew that Du Zhongxiao had done so many things this year, and the money was earned by himself. If he went to the Jingluosi, where did the money for building a fort come from? Jingluosi had no money. This matter was suppressed by him.

After thinking for a long time, Du Zhongxiao bowed and said, "The officials are ordered by the court and follow the arrangements of the queens."

Zheng Jian nodded without saying anything, just staring at the ferry on the river. After a year, he also realized that Du Zhongxiao and Xia Su were not close. Xia Su had favors Du Zhongxiao, but the two had no personal relationships, and they were not cliques. As long as Du Zhongxiao did not insist, he would not pay attention to Xia Su's opinions and continued to let Du Zhongxiao stay in the Volcano Army. Everything here had just been rolled out, and Du Zhongxiao left because he was afraid that the volcano army would be ruined by later officials.

Standing by the river and blew the wind for a while, Zheng Jian said, "It's not too early, let's go back."

Following Zheng Jian, Du Zhongxiao remained silent and racked his brains to recall the historical situation over the past few years. At this time, Du Zhongxiao's most impressive reference was Di Qing, who had just been transferred to Yanzhou. He was appointed as the governor of Changhua, deputy commander of the Ma Army, and Lin Yan Road was deployed and governor of Yanzhou. His position had reached the peak of military generals, just over 40 years old. In the next step, Di Qing would be promoted again and would inevitably take up positions that were conventionally held by civil officials.

What will happen in the past few years? I thought hard and suddenly remembered that there was another rebellion before Nong Zhigao in the south. I vaguely remembered that it was Wang Ze. This rebellion seemed to be related to a cult. There was also a later film about "The Legend of the Demons in Sansuiping" writing about this.

Can I make some contributions to this rebellion? Xia Shu was the Privy Councilor, and I could use this relationship. However, I couldn't remember clearly when and where this rebellion happened, and I couldn't help but feel upset.

When he arrived at the yamen, Du Zhongxiao finally figured it out. Since he couldn't remember things clearly, there was no need to force them. He should be his own volcanic army and wait for the time being to move.

The dinner hosted Zheng Jian, and Du Zhongxiao returned to the study and wrote a letter to Zhang Ji, asking in detail about the Khitan's detailed work. The letter repeatedly advised that it was not easy to build Tanglong Town, and it was necessary to pay attention to protecting the interests of merchants. Tanglong Town has developed well and has great benefits to Hedong Road.

The next day, Du Zhongxiao finished breakfast and went to the back yamen to see Zheng Jian.

The host and the guest were seated, Zheng Jian said, "I knew that the army had done three major things. One was to rebuild Biedouzhai and stabilize the people and the desolate east of the Yellow River. Another was to reoccupy Tanglong Town and build many business shops to make a lot of money for the Risk Department. Another was to open up military farms in this area and reclaim the fields. If all three things were done well, the court would be rewarded."

Du Zhongxiao thanked him.

Zheng Jian said again: "I will not go to Tanglong Town and Biedouzhai this time. You, the commander Wang Qian and Zhang, join forces to manage and defend the place. The field management took me around and see how it was. Linfu Road is located in Hexi. In order to prevent the heavy troops of the Dangxiang stationed, it costs countless money and food. If you do a good job in the field, let the officials there come and see and learn to cultivate the farm there. If you have the method of farming, you will also make contributions."

Du Zhongxiao said, saying, "There are many idle fields in this area, and the most difficult thing to buy fields is the population."

Zheng Jian smiled and said, "Linfu Road is different from yours. As long as you do well, there will be no shortage of population."

Du Zhongxiao knew what Zheng Jian meant, and there was a broad middle ground bordering Dangxiang, wherever it developed, it would attract people wherever it developed.

I had already seen the business at the ferry yesterday. Today, Du Zhongxiao followed Zheng Jian and went to the ranch first. At this time, the Volcanic Army's ranch had more than 1,000 horses, and there were many donkeys and mules, which were quite large in scale. The most important thing is that Chen Qin chose excellent breeds here, and the quality of the horses was getting better and better. In addition to horses, there were also hundreds of donkeys and mules, which were rented out for sale.

After looking at the horse farm, Zheng Jian praised: "Many state troops on Hedong Road, including the horse supervisor, are not as good as the horses you raise here, and it is really not easy."

Du Zhongxiao said: "When I returned to my husband, I raised livestock and sold them in the pastures here, so I have to make money. If I make more money, people who work here will reward money, so I will naturally be attentive. The business in Tanglong Town is booming, and the caravans use more livestock, so it is easy to sell."

Zheng Jian nodded. One industry prospers and one industry prospers, and business prosperity can drive many industries. Bingzhou's fur yard has already made him realize this. The Volcanic Army's special geographical location, so Du Zhongxiao made full use of it.

After leaving the ranch, Zheng Jian said, "On the way from Baode Army, I saw many large trucks carrying goods, which were very light. When asked about them, they all said they bought them from the Volcanic Army, which cost dozens of stagnant, but the price was not high. Where is the place where you made the car? Take me to take a look."

There is no doubt that the role of transportation in promoting social development is the key to the development of a place. Du Zhongxiao remembers that when he was a child in his previous life, every family had a small cart, and then every family had a rubber wheel truck pulled by horses and donkeys. Later, every family had tractors and tricycles. As long as the conditions allow, almost every family in the plains must have. In the northern family village, these cars are important means of production.

The place where the field car is built is not far from the ranch, and you can get there if you don’t walk far.

As soon as he entered the wide gate, he saw a mountain of wood. When Zheng Jian saw it, he couldn't help but frown: "I saw that the big carts were strong, were they made of this wood? These are all mixed woods, and ordinary people don't use them to make furniture."

Du Zhongxiao said: "When I returned to my husband, the car loading box was made of these wood. As long as the car was solid and not particular, it would be repaired if the left and right was broken. The wheels were really valuable in the car. As long as the bottom was installed, it would be fine if the car was made up."

Zheng Jian shook his head, a little unbelievable. The materials used in cars here are too careless, no wonder they are so cheap.

In fact, those who are rich nearby are concerned about others. They will buy a big cart from here, re-equip the car box, and choose good wood. Du Zhongxiao is concerned about quantity and has not had time to work on that kind of place.

Turn the yard where the wood is stored in front and arrive at the wheel making place at the back. The wheels of the cart are made of pig iron, which is solid and durable. What’s special here is that after casting, there are several polishing processes, which are smooth and beautiful.

Before approaching, Du Zhongxiao pointed to a wheel on the stage and said, "My husband, the reason why the wheels here are better than others is that you have to try to rotate them like this in the future, and you must not be biased."

Zheng Jian approached, looked at it and asked, "How can you be unbiased?"

Du Zhongxiao turned the wheel a few times and let go and told Zheng Jian: "Every time the wheel is turned, the bottom is not in the same place, so it is not biased."

This is static balance, and for a big car, the accuracy is enough.
