As Zhang Tie's dad couldn't match others in quality and price, of course, there was no market for such a product. Therefore, the small airship company of Zhang Tie's dad had to be closed.
Actually, across Yanghe Prefecture, only Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory affiliated to Huaiyuan Palace was a bit competitive in scale and technical strength. All the other small and medium-sized airship manufacturing enterprises from Huaiyuan Prefecture could not match those local airship manufacturing enterprises in Taixia Country. Those small and medium-sized airship manufacturing enterprises only had three ways out, namely being merged by Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory, being the downstream suppliers of Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory or being closed.
After moving from Waii Sub-continent to Taixia Country, Huaiyuan Palace was also facing the pain of integration to adapt to the development needs of Taixia Country. On one hand, some industries had excess capacities and labor forces; on the other hand, their products lacked competitive advantages in Taixia Country; on the other hand, they lacked core competitive products.
Besides airship manufacturing enterprises, the entire manufacturing industry of Huaiyuan Palace was experiencing the pain.
Huaiyuan Palace faced the pain by building a city. Through building a city, they could generate a huge domestic demand. They could stimulate, digest and gradually integrate the overall strength of the manufacturing industry in Yanghe Prefecture.
Only when he was a clan elder would he be able to do that. Additionally, his family was going to build a city. Therefore, Zhang Tie started to pay attention to the internal affairs of Huaiyuan Palace from another height.
Besides considering the needs of his family, Zhang Tie also wanted to make a contribution when his family was facing difficulties. Given the current situation of Yanghe Prefecture, one more city would bring a great impetus to all aspects of Yanghe Prefecture. Of course. 'If I could build a city well and have my dad who is unemployed at home become the castellan, I could find something for my dad to do and have more fun and motivation to strive for my dad's life. I could make my dad's life more splendid and have my mom live the life of the castellan's wife. That would be better.'
Besides Zhang Tie, there was another objective reason why the old man chose to draw close to Taixia Country at this moment. The Milky Way Shipyard was also facing the same problem. If Milky Way Shipyard wanted to survive and develop further, it had to complete an upgrade and integration of resources. Neither the Galaxy Shipyard nor the Old Master had such strength. Only with the protection and support of Zhang Tie and the support of Zhang brothers could Milky Way Shipyard have a bright future.
A family without the support of a strong economic lifeline would not be able to survive. However, the entire Huaiyuan Palace had just settled in Taixia Country. It was the only thing that could be a bit competitive in Youzhou Province and Taixia Country. One was the production of rune weapons and equipment; the other was the production of all-purpose medicament.
Rune weapons and equipment were a trump card of Huaiyuan Palace. Rune weapons and equipment were always in high demand in both Taixia Country and Waii Sub-continent. No matter how many were produced, they were always in high demand in the market. However, the current problem facing Huaiyuan Palace was that the number of rune weapons and equipment that Huaiyuan Palace could produce was too little even for a small Youzhou Province.
The key manufacturing process of rune weapons and equipment depended on human labor, namely rune instrument masters on different levels. Rune instrument masters were a high-end profession in this age and the most precious resource of Huaiyuan Palace. The number of rune instrument masters cultivated by Huaiyuan Palace was limited. Therefore, the rune equipment and weapons produced by rune instrument masters in Huaiyuan Palace could not be produced as many as they wanted like in an industrial assembly line.
In this case, as the market of all-purpose medicament gradually opened up in Taixia Country, even without Zhang Tie, Zhang family would also become more and more important in Huaiyuan Palace. All-purpose medicament was like an endless gold mountain. Its value grew more and more obvious.
Others didn't know that all-purpose medicament was invented by Zhang Tie and its output was completely controlled by Zhang Tie; however, all the powers in Huaiyuan Palace were clear about it. During the period when Zhang Tie stayed in Golden Light City for over 2 months, Elder Muen who had been the prefectural governor of Yanghe Prefecture had paid a visit to Zhang Tie twice. They were talking about the construction of Zhang family's city and the production of all-purpose medicament.
Huaiyuan Palace hoped that Zhang Tie could further expand the output of all-purpose medicament.
According to the agreement, half of the over 2 million vials of all-purpose medicament produced by Jinwu Business Group each year were sold through the network of Long Wind Business Group. As long as the output of all-purpose medicament was expanded, the business groups and commercial networks affiliated to Huaiyuan Palace would benefit from it.
In Waii Sub-continent, Long Wind Business Group of Huaiyuan Palace was well-known. However, after coming to Taixia Country, Long Wind Business Group became common. If Long Wind Business Group wanted to expand its business and commercial network, it needed a unique competitive product which could be used to conquer cities and territories. However, this competitive product was in Zhang Tie's hand. Zhang Tie could decide how much all-purpose medicament could be produced each year. Therefore, all the elders of Huaiyuan Palace had to talk with Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie didn't respond to Elder Muen's request clearly. Because many things in Huaiyuan Palace could not be decided by Elder Muen alone. Additionally, as it was related to the interest transmission of tens of millions of gold coins each year, Zhang Tie had to make it clear to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie didn't respond to Elder Muen's request clearly. Because many things in Huaiyuan Palace could not be decided by Elder Muen alone. Additionally, as it was related to the interest transmission of tens of millions of gold coins each year, Zhang Tie had to make it clear.
Zhang Tie estimated that Zhang Taixuan might want to talk about this with him.
Zhang Tie knew that Zhang Taixuan had been busy since the beginning of October. When in Golden Light City, Zhang Tie was told that the provincial governor of Youzhou Province had not left White Tiger Complex for 3 months. Additionally, he had to work 20 hours a day.
With the efforts of Zhang Taixuan, the entire Youzhou Province had been on the right track in only 3 months. The government agencies on all levels had started to run. As a result, Youzhou Province became a bit like a province in Taixia Country.
If it was any other lower province which had just been established, it would take them at least 1 year to have the provincial governor of Youzhou Province be on the right track. It would take them at least half a year to select and appoint officials, not to mention having everything on the right track. However, it only took Zhang Taixuan 3 months to make it. Zhang Tie really admired his great ability. It was said that even Commander Cheng was amazed by him and praised Zhang Taixuan's capability.
It could be said that Youzhou Province finally became the Youzhou Province of Taixia Country.
Looking from the sky, Zhang Tie found that the magnificent Youzhou City was no different than that 3 months ago. However, there was no snow on the city wall of Youzhou City at all. Given this point, Zhang Tie knew that Huaiyuan Palace had already controlled this city over the past few months. Without the powerful commanding ability of the entire city guards of Youzhou Province, the city walls of Youzhou Province would not be so clean at daybreak after a night of heavy snow.
Zhang Tie landed on the road outside Youzhou City along with the snowflakes. Closely after that, he strode towards Youzhou City leisurely.
Unless in wartime or for public affairs, knights were forbidden to fly into Class A cities in Taixia Country. As long as they flew over the city wall, they might be attacked and intercepted by the anti-air weapons of the city guards. In order not to arouse any troubles and jokes, Zhang Tie landed outside the city and strode into the city.
It was a special feeling for Zhang Tie to come back to Youzhou City.
When Zhang Tie came to Youzhou City last time, he didn't even take a look at the scenery. After entering the city, he took his parents to Huaiyuan Mansion. After that, his parents left. After that, he entered secluded cultivation and participated in the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province in White Tiger Complex. Later on, Commander Cheng made him drunk for one week with a jar of dragon-marrow liquor. After waking up, he took the responsibility of the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province. After being familiar with public affairs for a bit, he left. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tie didn't have any impression about the appearance of Youzhou City which covered over 1,600 square miles.
It was just past 6 am. When Zhang Tie arrived at a city gate in the east of Youzhou Province, the city gate which could accommodate over 10 trucks side by side had long been crowded with vehicles...
