Although it was chaotic outside, it was peaceful in Zhang family...
After Aimei and Aixue came to Zhang Tie's home for 2 weeks, Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang finally completed his certification as an orange-robe pharmacist in the Pharmacists Guild of Youzhou City.
Although Zhang Yang's promotion to an orange-robe pharmacist was not as shocking as that when Zhang Tie competed for the provincial governor of Youzhou City for Zhang Clan, it still aroused a shock in a certain range.
So far, one of Zhang brothers was a knight elder of Huaiyuan Palace, a rare cultivation genius in Zhang Clan and the famous Tiger of Youzhou Province; the other was a genius pharmacist who had promoted to an orange-robe pharmacist at his 30s. Both of them had a certain influence in the circle of pharmacists in Youzhou Province. As a result, Zhang Clan became more and more important in Yanghe Prefecture and Huaiyuan Palace. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tie's family had entered a wholly new rising track. They were more and more like major clans.
The fundamental reason that Zhang Yang chose to promote to an orange-robe pharmacist at this moment was that he sensed the great stress being borne by Zhang Clan and Huaiyuan Palace. Under such a great stress, Zhang Clan had to have a greater influence and root deeper in Taixia Country in order to stand firm. Therefore, after negotiating with Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang decided to show his trump card as an orange-robe pharmacist a few years in advance. This trump card indicated that Zhang Tie's family was not only a knight's clan, but also a pharmacist's clan. Zhang Clan could borrow the power of the circle of pharmacists.
When Zhang Yang promoted to an orange-robe pharmacist, Jinwu Shipyard silently merged with the affiliated shipbuilding enterprises of Huaiyuan Palace. As a result, the entire Jinwu Shipyard became the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Youzhou Province and monopolized over 60% of the shipbuilding industry in Youzhou Province.
In February, the moment the winter snow melted, an engineering team of about 100,000 people had arrived at the land that Zhang Tie's family had bought and started the preliminary work of building Jinwu City, such as prospecting, site selection, road construction and railway construction. After these preliminary works were completed, constant materials, equipment and personnel would enter that wilderness and Jinwu City would be completed at the fastest speed.
This time, Zhang Tie didn't take out the blueprint of Jinwu City. When he took out the blueprint of the capital city of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, he could use Huaiyuan Palace as his excuse. This time, he didn't have any reason at all. Although it was easy for Agan and Agan was happy to help, if he took out the drawing, he couldn't explain it to them.
Your brother is a genius in alchemy, and you are a genius in cultivation. If you become a self-taught master of architecture, how will others live? What would others think?
As he was already famous enough, Zhang Tie didn't want to cause more trouble at this moment.
Thankfully, Taixia Country didn't lack experts and masters in this field. If Taixia Country claimed to be No. 2 in construction and city-building, no other country in the world dared claim to be No. 1. Zhang Tie just passed Agan's general opinions to the professionals for consideration. He didn't care about the rest.
February was bustling with activity, bringing with it the breath of spring. Everything had the feeling of a new atmosphere.
On February 13th, Barley and the other members of God's Will Brotherhood arrived at Golden Light City.
This time, as they traveled day and night by fury-level airship that Zhang Tie assigned to them, the time between Barley and the other members of God's Will Brotherhood from Anping Prefecture of Guizhou Province to Youzhou Province was greatly shortened.
Among the 28 members of God's Will Brotherhood, only 11 of them would like to fight Zhang Tie in Youzhou Province.
According to Zhang Tie's request, Barley didn't tell the others about Zhang Tie's current situation. He just told them that Zhang Tie was still alive and had already come back. He hoped that the members of God's Will Brotherhood could help him in Youzhou Province.
Zhang Tie's reputation as the Lion of Youzhou Province had not spread to Guizhou Province yet. Later on, when people in Guizhou Province heard that Zhang Mushen the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province had destroyed the Heavens Reaching Church, they might not have imagined that Zhang Mushen was Zhang Tie. Even if they knew that, they would never associate this name with Zhang Tie. Because Zhang Tie's name was too common in Taixia Country. There were definitely a lot of people with the same name. Like how Zhang Tie told Barley and the other members of God's Will Brotherhood that he had become a knight in front of them, nobody believed it at all, not to mention the others.
Finally, besides Barley, Doug, Sharwin, Hista, Leit, and Bagdad, Potter, Wood, Gandhi, Jones, and Franca, all the others who didn't come had already married and had settled down. Besides Wood, who was already the father of two kids, Gandhi and Jones were already married but had no kids, so the rest were all single.
After so many years, Zhang Tie was already satisfied that over 1/3 of the members of God's Will Brotherhood in Blackhot City could join his side without any hesitation after hearing his news. As for those who didn't join him, Zhang Tie didn't blame them because they had families and hoped for a stable life. Zhang Tie could completely understand and respect them. He hoped that they could live a happy life.
The hotels and some properties of God's Will Brotherhood in Anping Prefecture of Guizhou Province were all given to those who didn't come here. After that, they separated peacefully. As a result, the God's Will Brotherhood silently became the association of fellow townsmen in Blackhot City, Waii Subcontinent. However, a closer group started to form on Zhang Tie's side.
As the saying goes, great waves wash away the sand. This was also a test.
Potter, Wood, Gandhi, Jones and Franca didn't know Zhang Tie's current situation until they saw him in Golden Light City. After knowing that Zhang Tie had already promoted to a knight, of course, they were all shocked.
After reuniting with his friends and brothers in Blackhot City in Golden Light City, Zhang Tie also sighed with mixed emotions. Needless to say about the laughter and tears during this period...
After staying in Golden Light City for 2 days, Barley and the others left for Youzhou City.
Zhang Tie handed all the properties and industries under his name that he acquired from "Master Jiang" to Barley and his partners, which were dozens of times more valuable than the properties of Barley and his partners in Guizhou Province. "Master Jiang" had many properties and industries in Youzhou City, which were basically in the prime locations of Youzhou City. Besides the vast Jiang Mansion, "Master Jiang" could earn over 400,000 gold coins from the rent of the Craftsmen Street in Youzhou City each year.
As long as the territory of Jiang Mansion was slightly renovated, it would become the first high-end courtyard luxury hotel of Jinwu Hotel Group in Youzhou Province. The income from the rent of the Craftsmen Street could also provide stable cash flow for Barley and the other guys. Therefore, they were all spirited and ready to do a big job.
This was Zhang Tie's reward for his friends and brothers who trusted him.
The arrival of Barley and the others also made Beverly, Fiona and the others very happy. Anyone would feel pleasant when they could reunite with their former friends in Taixia Country.
Barley and the others left Golden Sea City on the 15th. Only after 3 days, Paul who had left Zhang Tie for a few months came back on the 18th.
Although Paul didn't achieve what Zhang Tie had imagined, he still made a great achievement — — from this March, a pharmacist clan in Mozhou Province which raised uangs could give Paul two times more fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs. It meant that from this March, the number of fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs could increase by two times in the same period. He could almost get one fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs per week. As a result, Zhang Tie's strength would increase rapidly and stably.
When he thought that he could increase his strength by over 70 kg each time he ate a fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, Zhang Tie was satisfied with such a good treatment.
The main reason that Paul failed to accomplish the task assigned by Zhang Tie was that the demand of medicament market in Taixia Country started to increase. As an important raw material of medicament, the demand of golden uangs also started to increase. As a result, he could not obtain a large quantity of golden uangs.
Paul also brought back a good news, namely, he was told that someone was breeding earthworms in the rural areas of some prefectures in Tongzhou Province. Like what Zhang Tie saw in Chevli Village, these earthworms were also used as animal fodder.
Zhang Tie told Paul about Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai. From then on, Paul would be responsible for them. Additionally, Zhang Tie assigned 4 more Spirits guards to Paul as his subordinates. From then on, Paul became Zhang Tie's personal "Redemption General Manager". He was responsible for setting free Zhang Tie's living beings with a budget of 500,000 gold coins per year. As for the fruits of redemption that Zhang Tie could eat, it would depend on Paul.
Given this point, Zhang Tie felt that Paul was like a hired farmer in his own farmland. However, this hired farmer was not cultivating common farmland and harvesting common fruits. What Paul cultivated was a blessing land while harvesting was a fruit of redemption.
The fruit of redemption from the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree was the only one that could be bought with money and had the highest cost-performance ratio. Therefore, Zhang Tie was very satisfied with it.
...
As a result, Zhang Tie spent the whole February in such a bustling atmosphere. When Zhang Tie enjoyed the happiness of having a wife, he gradually straightened out some people and things around him. Not until then did Zhang Tie feel that he had just settled down in Taixia Country.
At the end of February, Zhang Tie made a breakthrough in his cultivation base as the 12th dragon scale on his knight's crystal plate silently lit up.
On the last day of February, after having supper at home, Zhang Tie's mom pulled Zhang Tie aside and told him, "You should go to Yingzhou Province. You've got a wife in Yingzhou Province. Fan Clan has been urging you..."
