Chapter 1033: The Iron of Iron-Dragon Sect (II)
Trantor: WQL Editor: Aleem
After listening to Zhang Tie’s introduction of the working principle of the dual-drive engine, all the 5 people in the room became silent.
Of course, this engine was an unprecedented invention in the eyes of them; however, they didn’t understand why Fire Dragon Hermit invented it. This engine was specially designed for high-power fuels such as gasoline; however, in this age, the 5 people had not heard of any fuel in Taixia Country which could fully rece gasoline before the Catastrophe.
As Zhang Tie looked very interested in it, even Sun Qiming didn’t dare displease him by telling him that this engine would not be avable even if it was invented.
"Am I clear?" Zhang Tie asked them.
After exchanging a nce with each other, the 5 people shook their heads at the same time before replying, "Clear!"
"Can you make it?"
They nodded at the same time again.
"Great, I will give this design drawing to you. There’s a differential gearbox under this design drawing. As you’ve understood it, I will not make a further introduction about it!" Zhang Tie pointed at Sun Qiming as he continued, "4 monthster, I need 100 sets of prototypes and differential gearboxes. Additionally, I want to see a nt which could produce at least 100,000 sets of engines and differential gearboxes a year 4 monthster. Here are the gold checks of 3 million gold coins!"
3 million gold coins were enough to build a nt which could produce 100,000 sets of engines a year.
As Zhang Tie said, he took out a pile of gold checks from Castle of ck Iron and handed it to Sun Qiming. Additionally, he told the other 4 people in a domineering way, "You should follow his order for the next 4 months and assist him to do it well! I don’t like to force people to do anything; if anyone of you is not willing to do that, you could exit right away. Is there anyone?"
Who would dare to refuse Fire Dragon Hermit at this moment? The other 4 people hurriedly determined their minds to help Sun Qiming aplish this task so as to live up to Hermit’s trust.
"Fine, now that all of you have agreed, if you cannot make it on time, I will punish you. If you could make it on time, I’ll make sure that you gain a lot of awards!"
"Yes...yes..."
The 4 people hurriedly nodded, except for Sun Qiming who slightly frowned as if he still hesitated. Even n head Yan had thrown a nce at Sun Qiming; however, he seemed to have not seen that warning at all.
"Do you have any problem?" Zhang Tie asked Sun Qiming.
"I will definitely exert my full efforts to finish the task assigned by Hermit; however, there’s one thing that I have to warn Hermit——as this dual-drive engine doesn’t have a proper fuel, even if we could produce it, we’d barely use it; perhaps Hermit has other ns that are out of ourmoners’ imaginations..." Sun Qiming said meticulously.
"Don’t worry about that. I have my consideration!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he continued, "You should finish this task in a low-key manner. Am I clear?"
"Clear!"
"You can leave!"
The 5 people bowed and moved backward. Until they exited the parlor did they turn around and leave under the guidance of Liu Xing.
Sitting on the old-fashioned wooden armchair, Zhang Tie watched their backs as he touched his bald head.
’If Li Tao could aplish the task on time, the alcohol production base would go online in 3 months. After that, it would produce over 40,000 tons of alcohol a month. By then, the engine production nt would go online too.’
The iron of Iron-dragon Sect was the same iron of Zhang Tie 1 and steel.
The change brought by Iron-dragon Sect would enablemoners to fight on the battlefield in the holy war. The power of iron and steam would present itself in a wholly new manner in front of the public.
Because of iron and steam, evenmoners below LV 6 could be a major force that contended with the super demon corps, instead of being ughtered by thetter.
What counted most, the reappearance of a propeller-driven airne in this age would enable humans to wrestle with wing demons besides knights. It could be imagined that when the mes of war extended to Taixia Country, with the help of propeller-driven airnes, Taixia Country would never repeat the tragedy of human airship troop above Selnes Theater of Operations——numerous fighters sprayed their blood in the sky as they could only watch the sky where the wing demons were indulging in wanton massacre.
Although there were airboats and knights in Taixia Country, the limited quantities of airboats and knights determined that these kinds of high-end forces and resources could only control limited areas. Actually, battles betweenmoners and demons ounted the most of the holy war.
It seemed that Zhang Tie had predicted the iron and steam storm that would start from Fire Dragon Bounty Territory and finally spread over the entire Taixia Country...
...
After a short while, when Zhang Tie was working out hisyout in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory, the fourth batch of people was brought into the parlor by Liu Xing.
The 4th batch of people was actually only one old man as slim as a bamboo pole, who was the representative of the most boring n in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory.
Of course, the most boring n was most estranged from the other ns in the Fire Dragon Bounty Territory. Now that this n could still survive itself, it indicated that this n had its own bottom line and had its own way to survive itself. Additionally, now that this n could dispatch a representative to wait outside the official manor, it indicated that this n understood the ways of people; at least, they held in awe and veneration toward power and force.
Fire Dragon Bounty Territory indeed required such a n.
"Fire Dragon Hermit, this humble man is Gu Hongyi, the n elder of Introspection Pce in Snowpine City!"
The moment the old man as slim as a bamboo pole entered the parlor, he had bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie.
Not all the n elders were knights. In manymon ns, seniors or able ones could also be the n elders. Undoubtedly, Gu Hongyi was an able man. Given his age, he should have a high seniority in Gu n. Now that Gu n could dispatch him to Xuantian City, it indicated that he was an able man.
"Take a seat!"
After saying thanks to Zhang Tie, Gu Hongyi straightened up and sat on the chair with a restrained and solemn look, being different than that of the earlier three batches of people.
"Why is your Gu n unpopr in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory?" Zhang Tie put it straight.
After hearing such a straightforward question, Gu Hongyi didn’t look embarrassed; instead, he replied frankly, "My elder brother Gu Hongsheng has been serving as an around-the-clock imperial censor for 34 years. He’s upright. Over these years, each time he came back to see rtives and offer sacrifice to predecessors, he would investigate local major ns openly and secretly. Whenever he found any disciples or nsmen making illegal things, he would impeach them. Therefore, many local officials from the major ns in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory had been impeached by my elder brother; some of them were caned by my elder brother; some of them were even dismissed. Therefore, our Gu n has a poor human rtionship in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory!"
After hearing this reason, Zhang Tie was shocked too much.
Actually, Zhang Tie was once impeached by an around-the-clock imperial censor in the imperial censorate of Taixia Country; therefore, he disliked around-the-clock imperial censors. It was out of his imagination that there was an imperial censor’s n in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory.
When he thought that an around-the-clock imperial censor would break out his upational disease by collecting the illegal behaviors of the local major ns and impeaching them the moment he returned home each year, Zhang Tie would almost copse mentally. An around-the-clock censor’s impeachment to local ns would at least reach military region and be epted by themander of the military region. Now that these localndlords had established human rtionships, they could never barely establish any rtionship with themander of the military region. Therefore, they could only suffer from the punishment by themander.
"Now that your Gu n is so unpopr, what if the disciples of Gu n is found illegal?" Zhang Tie asked.
After hearing Zhang Tie’s question, Gu Hongyi replied with a proud look, "All the disciples of Gu n could recite "The Laws of Taixia Country" at the age of 12. Therefore, disciples of Gu n would never do anything illegal, neither would our disciples be found illegal!"
’Treating "The Laws of Taixia Country" as domestic disciplines and family rules? Recite them at 12 years old? When he recalled "The Laws of Taixia Country" which was as thick as a brick, Zhang Tie could only stay silent and tribute for the disciples of Gu n, ’What a weirdo n!’
"What does Gu n survive on in Snowpine City?"
"Gu n has over 6 million square meters of quality arablend in Snowpine City, some bookstores and a printing nt. Disciples of Gu n could be farmers and teachers, many of them work aswyers in the courts of different cities and provinces..."
Thewyers of courts in Taixia Country were different than those in other continents and subcontinents. To put it straightforwardly,wyers in Taixia Country were equal to the counsels of officials in the courts. Because officials in the courts could not recite all the articles of "The Laws of Taixia Country". In many situations, these officials needed a legal advisor who was familiar with "The Laws of Taixia Country".
There were alsowyers in Jinwu Business Group. In Taixia Country, anyone who was familiar with "The Laws of Taixia Country" would be able to be awyer, which was a special upation in Taixia Country.
"I want Gu n to do one thing for me!"
"May I know what that thing is?" Gu Hongyi asked meticulously.
"The cities in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory would carry out local representatives autonomy from then on; however, the local representatives could not behave freely. Gu n will be responsible for the supervision of local representatives of the 10 cities in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory!" Zhang Tie said generously. Previously, Zhang Tie just wanted Gu n to be his ear and eye as another information channel. However, after knowing that Gu n was such a weirdo n, Zhang Tie directly handed the major task of supervising the local representatives to Gu n.
"Hermit, you’repletely pushing Gu n to the opposite of local representatives in all cities of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory!"
"Aren’t you Gu n already in such a condition?"
"Gu n can agree with you but on a condition!"
It was Zhang Tie’s first time to see someone who dared bargain with him in the parlor. Therefore, he felt fresh and asked, "Go ahead!"
"Hermit, please take one Gu disciple as your apprentice!" Gu Hongyi replied after gritting his teeth.
"Hahaha, you’re really audacious. Your Gu n is the first n who dares propose a request to me today! I wonder why do you want your n disciples to cultivate battle skills. Didn’t you say that Gu n disciples just do farm works, be teachers andwyers?
"As the holy war has broken out, we have to prepare for it. It would always be good if one of Gu disciple could survive himself in the chaotic world for the sake of the continuation of the n!"
"What if I don’t agree with you?"
Gu Hongyi then stretched his long neck and replied, "Although Gu n is not powerful, we always observews and regtions; it’s difficult for Hermit to find Gu n trouble! Whatever, Gu n doesn’t have even one friend in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory. Even if Hermit dislikes Gu n, our n will not be in a worse situation."
ording to Gu Hongyi’s words, if Zhang Tie disagreed with him, Gu n would not follow Zhang Tie’s order.
What a Gu n!
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting..." Zhang Tie burst out intoughter as he said, "Now that Gu n treats it as a business, I will establish this trade with you. You can go back and have one of your qualified disciples to be my apprentice..."
Gu Hongyi stood up and bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie, "Thanks, Fire Dragon Hermit!"
...
After Gu Hongyi left, Wang Chongde, the master of Wang n, Yushun Pce from Ningan City entered.
After chatting with Wang Chongde for a few minutes with a pleasant look and learning about Wang n’s situation, Zhang Tie handed a task to Wang n.
"On August 18, I will hold the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect in the official manor. By then many guests would arrive. Previously there were some official servants in the official manor; I don’t like them. When I arrived here, I’ve told them to leave. As the kindest n in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory, Wang n has many servants and good family rules; you dispatch a batch of servants to the official manor and have them receive the guests from all walks of life in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect!"
This was evidently a good opportunity for Wang n to be well-known in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect, because those guests in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect were all heroes and elites from all industries, who were all influential figures.
The moment Zhang Tie finished his words, Wang Chongde had sprung up as he replied in a quivering voice out of excitement with a blush, "Wang n...will exert our full efforts to live up to the Hermit’s trust..."
...
After the 5 batches of people left the official manor, the entire Fire Dragon Bounty Territory started to run like gears...
However, Zhang Tie disappeared once again weirdly after making arrangements. Nobody knew where Zhang Tie was...
Actually, Zhang Tie had long been anxious to return home...
