Zhang Tie's idea was not complicated. It was just a combination of the first plan and the third plan proposed by Boss Du.
As for the second plan proposed by Boss Du, Zhang Tie didn't think it was feasible.
If Zhang Tie was not the butler of the fishery ground of Whitedragon Gulf, of course, there was no problem with this plan. Neither could Zhang Tie force others to do anything. However, now that Zhang Tie had such an identity, if he continued to do that, he would be a bit stupid — — Whitedragon Gulf belongs to me. If others fish in my fishery ground for free, I would buy what they fished out of the sea and put them in Whitedragon Gulf, waiting for others to fish them out …
It was like kids playing house. Additionally, Zhang Tie's role in it was the most stupid one.
Therefore, of course, this plan was not feasible. Even though Zhang Tie didn't care about that bit of money, he didn't want to be ridiculed by Bian Heng after knowing it.
Zhang Tie's idea was simple — — forbid to catch spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf from now on. Meanwhile, he had Boss Du organize people to buy a lot of spike shrimps from those big harbors outside Emperor NvWa City and set them free.
The region where Emperor NvWa City was located was actually only about 14 million square miles' land. Emperor NvWa City occupied the center of this land. In the west of this land was Yaohai Ocean. Whitedragon Gulf was just a small part of Yaohai Ocean that penetrated into Emperor NvWa City. Of course, it was not the entire region. Additionally, those regions outside Emperor NvWa City were also under the influence of Emperor NvWa City. Many people lived outside Emperor NvWa City. There were also cities and towns outside Emperor NvWa City; however, they were not as prosperous as Emperor NvWa City.
Those big harbors mentioned by Boss Du were in the west of Emperor NvWa City. They could leave Emperor NvWa City from Whitedragon Gulf by sea. Additionally, it was not too far away from Emperor NvWa City.
Not too many people would be influenced by the prohibition of fishing spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf. Because spike shrimps were just an additional seafood for most of the fishermen here. Those who would be influenced were those 10-odd households in Tigerback Town who used special shrimp nets and cages to catch spike shrimps. If they were forbidden to catch spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf, their livelihood would be influenced. However, it was easy to solve this influence — — have Boss Du hire their people and boats and pay them a bit higher than the price of catching spike shrimps so as to have them become members of the team that set free spike shrimps.
This was a perfect method. It could guarantee the livelihood of those people in Tigerback Town who depended on the sea; meanwhile, it wouldn't influence Zhang Tie's plan to eat fruits. Additionally, it could improve the efficiency of setting free spike shrimps.
What Zhang Tie needed to do was to give the money to Boss Du. After that, Boss Du could deal with the rest. If Boss Du didn't even have the ability to control people and couldn't do such a simple thing, his fish store would not have developed to such a great scale.
With money, the identity of the butler of Tigerback Mountain and the soul seed in Boss Du's mind sea, Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about anything anymore. Of course, he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't even finish a cup of tea water. He just told Boss Du about his idea and let Boss Du deal with it himself. After that, he left Du's Fish Store and the fish market.
Zhang Tie didn't ask Boss Du to work for him for free. Instead, he promised Boss Du 30% of the wealth of the spike shrimps that he set free.
If Boss Du could set free 10,000 blue crystal coins worth of spike shrimps for him, Boss Du and his fish store would gain 3,000 blue crystal coins more, which could almost match the profit of Boss Du's fish store. Additionally, it was a long-term business with minimal risk. It was no exaggeration to say that this was the fortune of Du's Fish Store. If Zhang Tie really publicized this condition to the public, the other fish stores in Tigerback Town might scramble for such a business.
In the final analysis, it was just a bit money. However, Zhang Tie didn't lack money at all. Even the wealth that Zhang Tie plundered from red and blue devils could stun many clans in Motian Realm, not to mention the ATM of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. It was a great wealth that could not be used up even if one became a spoiled brat for 100,000 years. Therefore, the amount of money that Zhang Tie spent by setting free the red and blue devils was nothing but a drop in the ocean.
Zhang Tie just told Boss Du to work on it these days. On the 15th, he would come back with a sum of start-up funds. After that, Zhang Tie left Du's Fish Store. Of course, he didn't take that bag of crystal coins that Zhang Tie had thrown out before.
These so-called crystal coins were wealth for people in Motian Realm; however, they were just beautiful and useless stones in Zhang Tie's eyes. It was really cost-effective for him to find a way to eat fruits steadily by throwing some stones into the crystal coins.
Although it took him one morning to do this, it was worth it. Zhang Tie felt pretty good. Humming a tune, he left the fish market.
Unimaginably, when he came to the end of the fish market, he saw a tough man walking out of the lobby of another fish store called Whitedragon Fish Store.
The burly man had a majestic body and took out a box. He had a face full of beard and looked like he was not to be trifled with. Who else could it be but Uncle Guan?
Last time, Zhang Tie went for Tang Mei on purpose; however, he didn't see Uncle Guan. Unimaginably, Tigerback Town was not large. Zhang Tie could meet an acquaintance so easily.
"Aah, Uncle Guan, you're here?" Zhang Tie greeted that tough man with a smile.
"Mister Jin, you're here too …" Uncle Guan became stunned as he had not imagined that he could meet Zhang Tie here.
"Uncle Guan, are you here to buy something?" Zhang Tie threw a glance at that box in Uncle Guan's hand. It was metal and sealed; however, it looked like a medicine box.
"I'm here to get some medicine for Miss. The fresh purple horseshoe crabs and mother of pearl shellfish are all marine medicinal materials. They could only be bought in the fish market …" Uncle Guan revealed a smile at the sight of Zhang Tie. In the beginning, Uncle Guan also thought that Zhang Tie was interested in their Miss like Aunt Wu; however, after coming to Tigerback Town for so many days, he found that Zhang Tie was a "gentleman". Therefore, Uncle Guan treated Zhang Tie much better than before. "Oh, when you came to Anlai Courtyard last time, Miss and I were not there. After coming back, I was told by Aunt Wu that our Miss wanted to thank you in person when she was free!"
As they talked, they left the fish market and walked towards the town.
"Uncle Guan, don't say that. I didn't do anything for your Miss until now!" Zhang Tie said bashfully. As Bian Heng was a sage-level knight and excelled in medical skills, Zhang Tie really couldn't help Bian Heng.
"Childe Jin, don't say that. It's not easy for you to have such a good intention!" After saying that, Uncle Guan glanced at Zhang Tie from his head to toe as he asked with a bit dubious and hesitant look, "Have you … have you really found a job in Tigerback Mountain …"
Actually, Uncle Guan didn't believe that Zhang Tie could find such a job in Tigerback Mountain the moment he came here. Actually, it was not easy for Zhang Tie to be a sweeper in Tigerback Mountain. Those people in the town who wanted to be apprenticed to Tigerback Mountain were always scrambling for such a job.
"It's not a good job to look after a fishery for others like tending a vegetable garden. I'm free all day long. Therefore, I came here to take a look …" Zhang Tie said casually.
"Childe Jin, you're really something. Otherwise, how could you enter Tigerback Mountain so easily!" Uncle Guan let out a sigh.
"By the way, has Miss Tang been feeling better recently?"
"There're many doctors in Tigerback Town. Some of them are famous doctors across the country. These days, we've almost seen them one by one. We've given them some prescriptions and treatments …"
Although Uncle Guan didn't tell Zhang Tie about the effects of the treatments, Zhang Tie could guess it. If Miss Tang's five yin meridians could be cured so easily, Bian Heng would not have treated him like that at the beginning.
"Good people are blessed by God. I believe that Miss Tang must have a solution!" Zhang Tie comforted Uncle Guan.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Uncle Guan forced a smile. Closely after that, he recalled something as he struggled to look a bit bashful. Closely after that, he stopped his footsteps. Finally, he pulled Zhang Tie to the roadside and said, "Childe Jin, I have a request …"
"What is it, Uncle Guan?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity as he didn't know what Uncle Guan wanted him to do.
"Childe Jin, could you help Miss Tang …"
"This … how can I help?"
She has also read a lot of medical books and communicated with many doctors. Given her medical skills, she could even match those so-called famous doctors. However, she didn't show it. Yesterday, I received a message from Tigerback Mountain that Bian Heng is going to select his apprentices in public tomorrow morning. My miss also wants to have a try. Erm … erm … childe, do you know or have you heard about the contents of the test for Bian Heng's apprentices in Tigerback Mountain … "Zhang Tie's expression became serious as he said," I'm not sure about that.
It was really hard for Uncle Guan to ask for a favor through the back door. He stammered and his ears turned red.
Zhang Tie was really amazed. He didn't care about the affairs in Tigerback Mountain at all. He had not imagined that Bian Heng would recruit disciples officially the next day after coming back. What was more, Tang Mei wanted to have a try. Zhang Tie had not imagined that Tang Mei could have such a firm thought although she looked weak.
It was another way for Tang Mei to save herself by becoming Bian Heng's apprentice.
It was really admirable that a girl could be so determined and shrewd in such a desperate situation.
Watching Zhang Tie's amazed look, Uncle Guan realized that Zhang Tie didn't even know that Bian Heng was going to recruit disciples. Therefore, the glimmer of hope in Uncle Guan's eyes gradually faded. 'How could a commoner in Tigerback Mountain know what Bian Heng is going to test his apprentices? If even Zhang Tie knows it, everyone else in Tigerback Mountain should know it. It seems that I'm really desperate …'
Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he told Uncle Guan, "Erm … it's convenient for me to access Tigerback Mountain. However, as I always live in the back mountain, I really don't know about it. I'm afraid that only Bian Heng knows how to select his apprentices. Let's see it tomorrow. If there's a chance to help Miss Tang, I will definitely inform her about it …"
"Childe Jin, I will take a rest on behalf of my miss …"
No matter what, now that Zhang Tie showed such an attitude, Uncle Guan couldn't say anything more … (To be continued)
