"Not bad!" Zhang Tie nodded, "One of my main purposes here is to give you this item. Send it to Ice and Snow Wilderness through the channel of Golden Roc Bank and have them start to work according to this plan!"
Donder let out a sigh as he said with an admiring look, "Huaiyuan Palace is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. I've not imagined that you could work out such a complete urban planning plan so fast. It seems that you're doing well in Huaiyuan Palace as an elder!"
Realizing that Donder mistook this as the masterpiece of Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, 'If everyone else could think so, it would save me a lot of explaining.'
"Can I get earth-element crystals from Gold and Power Law?" After telling Donder about the map, Zhang Tie asked Donder with a solemn look. If he could get earth-element crystals from Gold and Power Law, he would have one more channel to obtain earth-element crystals and could improve his cultivation speed.
"Earth-element crystals?" Donder knew what kind of problem Zhang Tie was facing. After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Donder turned serious too, "It's a lie to say that Gold and Power Law couldn't get earth-element crystals. However, earth-element crystals are very important for knights. Nobody would complain about having too many of them. As a dark gold boss, you could purchase some earth-element crystals from Gold and Power Law every year!"
"How many?"
"Preferential price, 100,000 gold coins for one. You could buy 4 per year!"
"Can you buy more?"
"Unless you could promote to a higher level in Gold Spring Law and become a dark copper token owner. A dark copper token owner could buy 8 earth-element crystals per year!"
'4? ' It was equal to the number of earth-element crystals that Huaiyuan Palace could provide to clan elders each year. However, it was still not enough for Zhang Tie to form his second earth chakra. Even so, it was better than nothing.
'What about the dark copper token owner? ' Zhang Tie shook his head inside. Based on his current position and contribution in Gold and Power Law, it was not easy for him to promote to a dark copper token owner in 8-30 years.
Zhang Tie sighed helplessly, "If so, I will buy all the available shares this year. Later on, you don't need to ask me about this. I will buy all the available shares each year. You can directly transfer the money from my account in Golden Roc Bank!"
"Fine, but you need to wait a few seconds. After submitting the order, as the earth-elements crystals are transported from Eastern Continent, they could not hand them to you in Huaiyuan Prefecture until 3 months later!"
"Three months it is. At least we have a hope. It would be very lucky if we could buy some!" Zhang Tie shrugged.
Donder watched Zhang Tie as his eyes were filled with sentiments...
"I don't owe you money. Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Tie felt goosebumps all over his body.
"When you were in Blackhot City, have you imagined that you could easily buy an earth-element crystal which was worth 100,000 gold coins like buying a radish? You didn't even blink your eyes when you spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year. At that time, when I told you that I've drunk a cup of tea which cost a few gold coins, you treated it as a fantasy and bragging!"
After hearing what Donder said in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie was also moved.
When he was in Blackhot City, his dad and mom found him a job in a grocery through the local Hua Chamber of Commerce in order to learn something and broaden their horizons. After working in the grocery, Zhang Tie became a flesh-bag in the fighting club for a few silver coins. Being stimulated by his vigorous hormones, he wanted to hook up with beauties in the fighting club; however, he was refused and despised by them. Before the graduation survival training, in each man's coming-of-age ceremony, Zhang Tie's dad stealthily gave him some silver coins so that he could experience the pleasure of being a man. However, he had not imagined that he would encounter an extremely embarrassing thing in front of Ms. Anna. If he didn't have his penis cut off, he would not even be able to do that. Finally, he had to escape in an embarrassed way. If this was youth, Zhang Tie's youth was as miserable as a castrated dog...
At that time, the only warm memory was that he saw the innocent and surprised faces of those kids when he went to Grandma Teresa's orphanage to deliver rice soup every week. Each time he went there, those kids would surround him like a group of kittens and puppies waiting to be fed by him, which made him feel distressed...
Zhang Tie became silent. After a long while, Zhang Tie let out a sigh as he watched Donder leisurely, "Do you feel bored now? How about I find a job for you?"
Donder became alert at once as he watched Zhang Tie with vigilance and said cunningly, "Tell me about it!"
"After knowing that I've become a clan elder, my dad and mom are worried about me and want me to do some meritorious deeds in Huaiyuan Prefecture. They want me to distribute porridge here so as to spare a chance for those starving people. After thinking about it for a while, I think it's better to hand it to you!"
"Ahh, as a clan elder, those subordinates of Huaiyuan Palace could do it for you. What do you want me to do?"
"If I tell them, who in Huaiyuan Palace would dare charge me a copper coin for this job?" Zhang Tie also let out a sigh, "But my mom said that I have to pay for this job out of my own pocket. I should not touch the money of Huaiyuan Palace based on my own power. Do you know what she told my elder brother? She's even worried that I don't have enough money. She told my elder brother that if I didn't have enough money to distribute porridge, she would send me the private money that she and my dad saved so that I could do more good deeds here!" Donder was also dumbfounded.
Zhang Tie's dad and mom didn't know how rich Zhang Tie was. Only in the north water, this guy had earned about 300 million gold coins. After deducting the 90 million gold coins used for the construction of the capital city of the Sacred Iceland Kingdom, there were still over 200 million gold coins left. All of the 200 million gold coins were in the account of Golden Roc Bank. According to the financial plan made by Golden Roc Bank, this guy could enjoy the interest of 18 million gold coins a year without using his capital. 18 million gold coins was not a small figure. It meant that this guy could earn about 50,000 gold coins a day even if he did nothing. Even without this windfall, Huaiyuan Palace could at least pay over 1 million gold coins a year as a clan elder. How could Zhang Tie's dad and mom worry that this guy had no money? "What a pitiful parent!"
"What do you want to do?" Donder asked Zhang Tie.
"I will pay you 50,000 gold coins a year. You can hire some female servants who escaped to Huaiyuan Prefecture and open some porridge outlets outside the three cities of Huaiyuan Palace. Make some porridge, dried vegetables, steamed buns and bread for two meals a day so as to spare a chance for those hungry people!"
After deducting the labor and operation cost, 50,000 gold coins could be evenly distributed among the three cities. After one year, it could just provide a small part of people who had the most difficult living conditions a meal when they needed it. Nobody would starve to death. Zhang Tie had calculated it carefully. If it was too little, it would not be enough; if it was too much, he might have to raise lazy people.
Based on Donder's meticulous calculation, Zhang Tie knew that this money could play the greatest role for sure.
"Well, I will follow you to accumulate some good karma. I will do it. Who told me to board your pirate ship!" Donder let out a sigh. He knew that Zhang Tie entrusted this family business to him not only out of his trust, but also because Zhang Tie had already treated him as a family member. Although Donder didn't say it, he felt warm inside, "How long do you want to do this?"
"As long as the vanguard of demons arrives at the north bank of Yuanjiang River!"
Donder became slightly stunned before revealing a bitter smile, 'This is the style of a local tyrant. 50,000 gold coins a year is indeed nothing for Zhang Tie.'
…
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie left Golden Roc Bank.
After leaving Golden Roc Bank, Zhang Tie wandered around Stars Viewing City. After that, he bought a suitcase in a store. Closely after that, he came to a relatively desolate clothing store with that suitcase. In the promotion price of 20%, Zhang Tie spent one gold coin to buy a lot of extremely common clothes which were greatly different to his current figure. After that, he stuffed all the clothes into that suitcase. After closing the suitcase, he left Stars Viewing City and returned to the encampment of Hurricane Corps with that huge suitcase.
Watching Zhang Tie coming back with a suitcase, it seemed that he had gone to Stars Viewing City for a "shopping spree", those people in the temporary palace of the corps leader all looked very strange.
As a clan elder, as long as he asked for something, he would have a lot of items in front of him. He didn't need to buy anything himself at all. However, Zhang Tie bought a suitcase back.
Nobody knew what was in that suitcase.
Everyone was curious about it; however, nobody dared ask about it.
Before the arrival of the new year, what was in the suitcase brought back by Corps Commander Mushen became a hot topic among the high-level commissioned officers of Hurricane Corps.
Someone guessed that the suitcase contained marvelous weapons; someone guessed that it contained a lot of senior secret books; someone guessed that it contained senior medicament... All the guesses were based on a tacit assumption — — the items in the suitcase must be used by knights.
Nobody could guess that the suitcase contained a lot of ill-fitting clothes that Zhang Tie bought at a discounted price.
Similarly, nobody dared investigate in Stars Viewing City even though they were curious about it. Anyone who dared investigate the trace of a clan elder or corps leader was nothing different than committing suicide.
