After hearing his elder brother's words, Zhang Tie knew that it was a tradition. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't insist on it anymore as he started to select characters from the list seriously.
In Taixia Country, there were many rules about establishing ancestral halls. However, the 875 ancestral halls of Zhang family had occupied over 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters. After deducting those which were rare, unlucky and couldn't be used in names, there were only hundreds of Chinese characters on the primary list in Zhang Tie's hand.
After skimming over the list for a short while, Zhang Tie became silent for a second as he fixated onto a word.
It was a character "Pu".
The Hua culture was broad and profound. Each character had a profound meaning. Not knowing why, Zhang Tie had the most feeling about this character "Pu". The left side of the character "Pu" was a character "Ren"; the right side of the character "Pu" was a character "Pu". The combination of the two characters seemed to have a profound meaning. Zhang Tie faintly felt that he had seen a scene similar to this character "Pu" somewhere.
"Elder brother, how about the future knights of Jinwu Palace use the word 'Pu' …" Zhang Tie said as he drew a circle on the name list. Closely after that, he gave the name list back to Zhang Yang.
"Pu?" Zhang Yang became a bit surprised as this character was too common. However, he soon accepted it, saying, "Fine, let's use the character" Pu "!"
After exchanging a glance with each other, Mountain Lifting Hermit, Zhang Tie's elder brother, Zhang Su, even the juniors of Zhang Clan would be called Pu Zhang.
In this way, all the knights of Jinwu Palace, Zhang Tie's elder brother, Zhang Su, even the juniors of Zhang Clan would be called Zhang Pu X if they promoted to knights and wanted to be famous for their characters.
The character "Pu" would be exclusive to the future knights of Jinwu Palace. Even though Zhang Tie had severed his relationship with Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Mushen, Zhang Tie's official name was still Zhang Mushen.
After that, Zhang Yang told Zhang Tie about buying land.
Only after one day, Zhang Yang had received a message from the Land Management Office of Youzhou Province that they would handle all the formalities 5 days later.
Jinwu Business Group spent over 440 million gold coins to buy over 36 million square miles' land in Youzhou Province in total. This new land connected Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Jinwu City. Plus the affiliated land of Jinwu City and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, the entire land area of Jinwu Palace covered over 48 million square miles, which almost half of Youzhou Province belonged to Jinwu Palace.
Because Jinwu Business Group was jointly owned by Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, of course, the land that they bought this time was their common property.
After negotiating with all these, they had almost confirmed the establishment of Jinwu Palace. 7 days later, when they finished the formalities of buying land, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang would officially establish their clan and shrine and disseminate their clan's notices to the public. By then, Zhang Clan of Jinwu Palace in Youzhou Province would officially come into being. Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang would both welcome a new brilliant start.
Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang didn't grow up in Huaiyuan Palace. Therefore, they were incompatible with many aspects of Huaiyuan Palace. After leaving Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang would be free from all the constraints. From then on, they could fly freely.
Zhang Yang was pretty ambitious about this result. Zhang Tie also sighed with emotions inside. When the two brothers were in Blackhot City, they had never imagined that they could establish a new clan and shrine in Taixia Country and dominate a region one day.
"There's one more thing. As we're all here, I want to negotiate with you …" Zhang Tie opened his mouth after his elder brother finished his words.
"What's that?"
"These days, I've traveled around Tongzhou Province. Although the catastrophe of bloody figures in Tongzhou Province has been basically pacified, the damage and influence caused by the catastrophe of bloody figures could not be eliminated in a short period. Many cities are suffering from a decline in population. More people have lost their homes and relatives in the catastrophe. Orphans and widows are everywhere. Although the local authorities have tried their best to relieve the disaster and eliminate the influence, due to too many people in the catastrophe and the vast disaster areas, some prefectures would be ruined. Plus the high price of grains in Taixia Country and the war between demons in the Western Theater of Operations, many places could not be taken care of. As a result, many survivors in the disaster areas are struggling to have enough food and clothing. They're living a tough life!"
Zhang Tie said calmly as he threw a glance at the others. After hearing about the catastrophe of bloody figures, they all revealed serious looks.
These days, Zhang Tie had been searching for his and Ma Aiyun's kid in Tongzhou Province. Although he didn't find that kid, Zhang Tie could go deep into the bottom of the society and truly experience the great damage caused by the catastrophe of bloody figures and the hardship of the people at the bottom of the society after the catastrophe.
Flying Cloud City was fine as it was still protected by city walls. However, many places outside the city where bloody figures wreaked havoc were more severely. Many villages and towns had been completely ruined. Many places within 60 miles had been devoid of people. Herds of stray dogs could be seen everywhere. Corpses could be seen everywhere in the wild woods and riverside tidal flats. Until now, the aftermath of the catastrophe of bloody figures had not been completely dealt with.
As for those survivors outside the city, especially those old, weak, women and children, orphans and widows who had lost their relatives, they were the most pitiful as they had no reliance. They could only survive on relief. Their hardships were hard to describe.
"After seeing those places where bloody figures wreaked havoc in Tongzhou Province, I'm afraid that other places in Taixia Country are facing the same situation. Therefore, I prepare to establish Jinwu Branch in those places where bloody figures wreaked havoc in Taixia Country!"
"Jinwu Branch?"
"Yes, Jinwu Branch. Jinwu Branch is an orphanage which especially takes in those orphans who lost their relatives in the catastrophe of bloody figures. Meanwhile, it's a big school where orphans could learn various survival skills. When those kids grow up, those who are talented in cultivation could join Iron-Dragon Sect; those who are talented in other aspects could join Jinwu Business Group or the Fiery Oil Bases across Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Those who like to join Jinwu Palace could get married and settle down so as to not be lonely in the world …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Mountain Lifting Hermit, Lu Zhongming, Lin Huanxi and O 'Laura's eyes turned bright at once.
Mountain Lifting Hermit nodded as he said, "I think it's feasible. It's a good deed for those orphans. In this way, the influence of Iron-Dragon Sect would further expand. In the future, our influence would not only be limited to Northeast Military Region …"
"Each Jinwu Branch could assign disciples above LV 9 of Iron-Dragon Sect to serve as instructors and teachers. They could teach those orphans skills and select talents. Meanwhile, they could improve their disciples' abilities. In the future, this could be a compulsory task for disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect!" Lu Zhongming nodded too …
