Yang Hao, who has been troubled by the financial crisis, temporarily solved the urgent problem because of the 5,000 taels of gold donated by Meng Yao. Of course, the financial problems have not been completely resolved. Although the blanket factory has a promising prospect, it cannot be expected within one or two years. The planned wood factory and iron factory are still unable to start due to lack of funds and talents.

Yang Hao devoted all his energy to the construction of the blanket factory. This is not only because the blanket factory has a promising prospect, but it is hoped to become Feng'an's financial pillar in the future. Yang Hao hopes to shape it into a typical, a typical example of a new type of production organization, and lead a social change through its demonstration role, at least a social change in Feng'an City. He worked day and night, formulated rules, trained talents, supervised infrastructure, and standardized process processes. Everything is zero, everything must start from scratch. Yang Hao selected a group of young people who have read books, are smart and willing to make progress, and taught them step by step. A seemingly simple noun concept often takes a long time to let these Feng'an talents understand its meaning.

Everyone saw that Yang Hao was busy, but most people didn’t know what he was busy with, time, time, what he lacked the most now was time.

Xiaoyu didn't understand what Yang Hao was busy with, but she was sure that her Yang Lang was busy with a meaningful event. She silently supported him, working hard and never complained.

In addition to Xiaoyu, Guan Suo also made every effort. He was not among the twelve talents selected by Yang Hao, but his comprehension was not inferior to the twelve talents at all. Because of this reason, when the blanket factory officially built the factory, Yang Hao entrusted him to serve as the chief supervisor. Guan Suo lived up to his trust and not only built all the factories one month in advance, but also creatively transformed the roads in each factory room from dirt roads to gravel roads. This detail was even ignored when Yang Hao designed the drawings.

At the end of May, the first blanket in the blanket factory was offline. After review by experienced masters, all indicators met the design requirements.

Yang Hao sent someone to deliver the blanket sample to Luoyang for acceptance. Half a month later, the messenger brought back Wu Chenglong's handwritten letter and accompanied him to two experienced blanket makers. In the letter, Wu Chenglong said that the samples sent were completely qualified, but the technical content of this type of product was low and could only be sold to small and medium-sized towns and rural areas, making meager profits. He suggested that Yang Hao change his strategy, create high-quality products, and make high profits. For this reason, he specially hired two master-level masters to Feng'an for guidance with high salaries.

Yang Hao adopted Wu Chenglong's suggestion, changed his business strategy, and hired the two masters as general managers of the factory, with great courtesy. The two masters were very surprised by the new factory created by Yang Hao, and were also grateful to Yang Hao for his courtesy. They taught them all they had learned in their lives. After some improvement, the second batch of samples sent to Luoyang was highly recognized by Wu Chenglong, and Feng'an Blanket Factory received an order of 5,000 high-end blankets.

The victory of the first battle made Yang Hao feel a little relieved. Although the twelve disciples he carefully trained had roughly mastered the theoretical knowledge needed to manage a factory, they still lacked experience after all, and the difficulties encountered in actual work were simply everywhere.

Yang Hao understood that many problems can only be solved by time, and the problem is whether he has this time.

Dong Bazheng, who occupied Dongshoujiang City, did not forget the humiliation of Feng'an's defeat. In order to raise military expenses and expand his military strength, Dong Bazheng, who has always believed in Buddhism, ordered the demolition of 60 temples in his jurisdiction, dismissed 6,500 monks and nuns, and obtained nearly one million taels of gold, silver and wealth. By the beginning of the first year of Kaicheng, Dong Bazheng had nearly 20,000 troops, among which the six battalions of "Fire Phoenix Army" with two thousand Hedong Army as the team was the most elite. The "Fire Phoenix" means "the phoenix is ​​reborn as the fire", and Dong Bazheng wants to return to Feng'an with this phoenix reborn as the fire to avenge his previous shame.

According to the organization of the Hedong Army, one battalion has 1,200 people, and six battalions has 7,200 people. It is twice that of the Feng'an defenders!

Dong Bazheng, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, understands that veterans who have experienced the baptism of war are far better than new recruits who have not yet fought. In order to temper the new recruits into veterans, he treats Wang Qian and Dugu Chang as wrestling stones and continues to fight in the east and west. He seizes dozens of military camps from Wang Qian and Dugu Chang, forcing the two to invite Beidu to stay and Taiyuan Yin, General of the Cavalry, and Prince Li Zaiyi of Wuwei County to mediate.

Li Zaiyi was a famous minister of the age and made great contributions to the court. However, Hedong has always been Liu Qingling's territory, and Taiyuan was the basis for Liu Qingling's management for many years. Li Zaiyi, a left-behind northern capital and a yin of Taiyuan, sometimes speaking in Taiyuan was not as important as Liu Qingling, in order to compete with Liu Qingling. Li Zaiyi secretly sent people to win over Dong Bazheng, who was excluded by Liu Qingling, who returned to Taiyuan to serve as deputy guardian of the Northern Capital and young yin of Taiyuan, hoping to use Dong Bazheng's military strength to offset the pressure put on him.

Dong Bazheng's reply was straightforward. He wanted to return to Taiyuan Prefecture, but the premise was to break through Feng'an City and avenge a single arrow a few months ago. In order to promote Dong Bazheng to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible, Li Zaiyi put pressure on Wang Qian and Dugu Chang, prompting the three to jointly eliminate the rebellion of Meng Bochang and Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was not unaware of the series of actions of Dong Bacheng and Li Zaiyi. Shortly after the Battle of Feng'an, in order to control and improve the combat power of each army, Yang Hao set up a staff room in the governor's mansion, responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, formulating and implementing operations, mobilizing plans, commanding and coordinating the combat operations of each army. Corresponding to the staff room is the Military Order Command, responsible for the establishment of the army, training, military officers, military registration, military orders, etc.

Most of the first funds allocated to the staff room by Yang Hao were used to collect Dong Bazhong's various trends. The staff room had a general of staff, one general of staff, and one lieutenant of staff. The first two positions have not yet been found, and the position of staff lieutenant of staff is temporarily acting by Guan Suo.

Guan Suo was from Taiyuan Prefecture. During the Zhenguan period, his ancestors settled in Taiyuan and were very familiar with Taiyuan and Hedong prefectures. Guan Suo recruited a group of Hedong children to return to his hometown to spy on military information, and successfully instigated Xiao Yong, who was captured when Feng'an was defeated. He contacted Dong Bazheng's old subordinates to obtain the trend of Dongshoujiang City.

On the one hand, Yang Hao shared the information obtained with Meng Bochang, and on the other hand, he quickly went to Beijing to report it to the chief manager of Baoli Society. Since the Korean appointment was killed, Yang Hao and Meng Bochang's lineage have been directly led by the chief manager, and the secret letter was handed over to the chief manager from the secret station set up by Baoli Society in Linzhou.

At dusk on the sixth day after the secret message was released, the messenger of the Grand Chief suddenly came to the Feng'an Governor's Office. The messenger told Yang Hao that the Grand Chief Chief admired him for his timely investigation of Dong Bazheng's movements. The Grand Chief Chief Secretary had used some means to ask the court to issue an edict to transfer Dong Bazheng back to Hedong as deputy envoy of the Jiedushi. In this way, a Dong Bazheng suddenly intervened between the two heroes of Hedong Liu Qingling and Li Zaiyi. The situation in Hedong would become very subtle, and Feng'an's threat would be resolved without fighting.

Yang Hao admired the great general manager from the bottom of his heart for his skillful means. The messenger also brought a message from the great general manager, asking Yang Hao when he planned to send troops to expel Feng'an. Yang Hao told the messenger that if he could be sure that Dong Bachang would not lead his troops westward in autumn, he planned to join forces with Meng Bochang to capture Feng'an City in the month of **.

After hearing this, the messenger was silent. Yang Hao felt suspicious and asked the messenger: "What kind of instructions do the Grand Chief Executive have?" The messenger said: "Recently, the Niu Party Minister proposed to divide the Tiande Army into two. The east of Feng'an will still be under the jurisdiction of the Tiande Army, and the three prefectures west will be restored to the early years of Yuanhe. The two prefectures of Feng'an and Yongfeng will be demolished to counties and are under Fengzhou, and then Fengzhou will be under the jurisdiction of Shuofang."

After hearing this, Yang Hao was shocked and said anxiously: "This must be Qiu Shiliang's trick! If Your Majesty approves this proposal and let Wu Si Jiu be the governor of Fengzhou, he would rely on Shuofang to protect himself. At that time, Shuofang would have a reason to send troops north, but he was afraid that the three cities of Hetao would have wars again."

The messenger sighed, "Who said it was not? At the beginning of the year, Qiu Shiliang ordered his party members to ask His Majesty to marry Princess Yichun to Wang Chongwen. This matter was blocked by the design of the Grand Chief Executive, so Wang Chongwen retreated halfway. But the eunuch was not giving up. I don't know what method he used to get the permission of Empress Dowager Xiao. Your Majesty is a benevolent and filial king. When the Queen Mother spoke, it would be difficult for the Grand Chief Executive to say anything. This marriage is probably a foregone conclusion."

The tender face of Princess Yichun Li Qing appeared in front of Yang Hao, and he also remembered the situation when he first met Wang Chongwen. It was really unpredictable. The weak scholar of the past transformed into a overlord, while the arrogant princess could not even make decisions about her lifelong affairs.

The eighth day of the sixth month was Yang Hao's birthday. Meng Bochang sent Zhang Yannian to Feng'an to celebrate his birthday in order to envoy, but he himself dressed in casual clothes and only brought two followers into the Feng'an governor's mansion through the back door while the night was sunny. After Yang Hao met him, he naturally talked about the court's discussion on the abolition of the prefecture and the establishment of a county.

Meng Bochang said: "I am here to discuss this matter with you."

Yang Hao said: "It is better to start first, as long as I think, join forces to seize Fengzhou this fall! At that time, Qiu Shiliang had thousands of tricks, and it would not do much harm to you and me."

Meng Bochang smiled and said, "You think things too simple. According to the news I received, Qiu Shiliang's secret envoy has arrived in Fengzhou. This time, he not only gave Bo Si 50,000 military expenses, but also sent a general to help him. This man has experienced many battles and is no less than Dong Baquan."

Yang Hao asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

Meng Bochang: "Liu Mian, the governor of Zhenwu."

Yang Hao smiled and said, "I am confused again when you say this. Isn't the Zhenwu Jiedushi Dugu Chang? When did it become Liu Mian again? Could it be that Zhenwu has two more Jiedushi?"

"Why can't we be two governors?" Meng Bochang looked at Yang Hao with a puzzled look and smiled, "One is famous but not real, the other is a country he has captured, and the other is a senior official appointed by the court." Yang Hao was speechless. After the Anshi Rebellion, there were many vassal states inside and outside, and conquered and conquered. If there was a knife, the king would be the king. If there was a knife, the king would be the sword. The vassal states were separating the local areas and did not follow the central government. There were also many princes within the vassal states and did not obey the orders. Liu Mian was promoted to the governor of Zhenwu for his merits, and Dugu Chang was in possession of troops and refused to hand over the territory. It was not strange that such a thing was strange.

Yang Hao didn't want to waste time on these details, so he asked Meng Bochang directly: "What are the best solutions?"

Meng Bochang did not answer directly, but said something that seemed irrelevant: "A month ago, the middle of the forest sent someone to borrow food from me, and I agreed. Oh, listen to me. In the middle of the forest, there were natural disasters last winter and this spring, and most of the cattle and sheep were lost, and the hunger people increased sharply. If they did not lend him food, they would inevitably have wars and wars, which would be very easy to be used by others."

Yang Hao thought about it and what he said was indeed reasonable. Feng'an's city walls were tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Uighurs were good at field battles but not good at attacking. If they went south to rob, they would probably bypass Fengzhou and take direct victory in Yongfeng and Feng'an.

"But my grain was not for nothing. I proposed to ask them to send troops to expel Bo Si and take back Fengzhou City for us. The envoy dared not make the decision and reported it back overnight. Three days later, he returned to Yongfeng and brought a letter from Xiao Qijin, the leader of the central forest. Oh, Xiao Qijin is the youngest son of Wuliqiha who was killed by Mou Ling. Wuliqiha was incompatible with Wang Qian, but he had always gotten along well with Meng Chu. After his death, his general Yingtan claimed to be the leader, occupied his wife and daughter, and killed his three sons. Xiao Qijin was in Fengzhou at that time, so he escaped. Yingtan was tyrannical and always had an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. After he took power, Fengzhou broke off contact with him."

"Last winter, there was heavy snow in the middle of the forest and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death. However, the Eagle Hall levyed a lot of levies to offer birthday gifts to a favorite concubine of Khan Zhangxin, which caused civil unrest. The middle of the forest expelled him and welcomed Xiao Qijin back as the leader. He knew that I was in charge of the army in Yongfeng, so he sent someone to contact him." Meng Bochang said this, and took out a letter hidden in the sheep's bones and handed it to Yang Hao.

The Uighurs were deeply sinicized. Although they had their own writings, the children of the high-ranking clans were proud of their Chinese all night long. Xiao Qijin had been studying in Chang'an for three years. Yang Hao blushed when he read the powerful Yan style. In his letter, Xiao Qijin reiterated his intention to get along well with the border states of the Tang Dynasty and expressed his willingness to send troops to help Meng Bochang recover Fengzhou City. In return, Xiao Qijin hoped that Meng Bochang would open the border in the future and restore the silk and horse trade between the two families.

"There is a precedent for borrowing troops from the Uighurs to drive away the thieves. I think during the Anshi Rebellion, the court had borrowed troops from the Uighurs." Meng Bochang said this and turned around and asked Yang Hao: "Brother, what do you think?"

Yang Hao pondered for a moment, "When I first arrived in Yongfeng, I heard Brother Han say that the middle of the forest and the Tiande army have been so dirty for more than ten years. Xiao Qi and Jin's father died at the hands of General Tang. Can he really abandon his old grudges and help me attack the city? What if he refused to leave after conquering Fengzhou?"

Meng Bochang laughed loudly and patted Yang Hao's shoulder and said, "Wouldn't he be better if he doesn't leave?"

Yang Hao was stunned when he heard this. Meng Bochang's face sank and said murderously: "Then let's catch the turtle in a jar, trap him to death in Fengzhou, and relieve the border troubles once and for all."
