In the flying boat, while the flying boat was flying to the Zhulong Territory, Zhang Tie and a large number of people in the flying boat gathered around a large luxurious lounge on the top of the flying boat. They were standing or sitting one by one, sipping wine. , chatting, looking at the map spread out on a long table, and exchanging their opinions with each other.
The map was personally sent by Sinong Cheng from the Northeast Governor's Office when Feizhou was leaving the Golden Crow City today. Along with the map, there were a lot of ownership documents and contracts. These things were Proof of Zhang Tie’s territory and land ownership in Youzhou.
This time, the official work was very efficient. After confirming that Zhang Tie was Cui Li, all the procedures were completed in less than a week, and these things were also delivered to Zhang Tie in person.
Zhang Tie's land in Youzhou is divided into four parts. The first part is the Zhulong Territory, which is the Taixia reward he received for his meritorious service in the Diyuan Realm. The second part is after he made a bet with Guan Qianzhong. The third part of the Yangui Mountains given to him by the Guan family is the Tibetan Plateau in the north of Youzhou that he originally bought, and the fourth part is the two million given to him by Jin Quandao at the wheel-turning ceremony. square kilometers of land.
On the map, Zhulongling and the Yangui Mountains are naturally connected together, but the Zanggu Plateau is to the north of the Yangui Mountains, separated by a distance of nearly two thousand kilometers. It can be regarded as an enclave. However, The land Jin Quandao gave him this time happened to be between the Yangui Mountains and the Zanggu Plateau, which immediately connected Zhang Tie's land in Youzhou.
From this point of view, the things Jin Quan Dao gave to Zhang Tie this time were indeed carefully selected. Due to Jin Quan Dao's relationship with the Taixia court, he wanted to check and investigate the land owned by Zhang Tie in Youzhou. Information is easily accessible. When Jin Quan Dao saw the vast gap between Zhang Tie's two pieces of land, these two million square kilometers of land naturally became the best gift for Jin Quan Dao to express his sincerity.
On the map on the table, Zhang Tie's land in Youzhou is marked with red areas.
This is a generally irregular half-moon-shaped area. The top of the half-moon is the Shizang Ancient Plateau, and this area has the highest terrain. The middle part of the half-moon is the land given to Zhang Tie by Jin Quandao. This part is mainly plains, and the second half of the half-moon is the Yangui Mountains.
The area of this area officially marked on the map of the Northeast Governor's Office is 8.67 million square kilometers, which is a whole circle larger than the area of about 8 million square kilometers imagined by Zhang Tie. The first reason for this is Jin Quan Although the land given to him by Tao was said to be 2 million square kilometers in the wheel-turning ceremony. But when I said that, it just corresponded to the number of other gifts in the gift list, and it just sounded nice. Large-scale land sales like this are all large areas naturally divided based on the mountains, rivers and other topography of the purchased land. to calculate the area. Naturally, it is difficult to have an integer like 2 million square kilometers. The total area of the land given to him by Jin Quandao is actually 2.38 million square kilometers.
The second reason is the accurate area of the Tibetan Plateau and Yangui Mountains on the map. It was slightly larger than Zhang Tie expected.
This 8.67 million square kilometers of land is now. According to Zhang Tie's request, there were no divisions into counties, but they were all named after the Zhulong Territory.
"I remember when I saw the map of Youzhou five years ago in the Youzhou Sinong Mansion in Youzhou City, there were still many green areas on the map representing the unclaimed land of Youzhou. Unexpectedly, in just five years, these areas Most of it is missing..." It was Zhang Tie who spoke.
Ever since the map was taken out, Zhang Tie has been standing at the table next to the map, looking at the map seriously, feeling like ordinary people looking at the architectural structural diagram of a house when buying a house or a mansion. , there is still some excitement and satisfaction in his heart, because this area on the map belongs to him, and it is also his foundation in Taixia.
Zhang Tie was very happy, and the atmosphere in the lounge was very relaxed.
Speaking of which, this may be one of Zhang Tie's abilities. The identities of everyone in the lounge are very complicated. There are the princes and princesses of the Taixia Palace, as well as high disciples from the seven major sects of Taixia, and even the knight couple who founded the sect in Taixia. , there are managers and shopkeepers like Tang De who worked their way up from the bottom, as well as Zhang Tie’s cousin. Everyone’s identities are very different, but because Zhang Tie is here, these people with different identities People can get along harmoniously with each other as Zhang Tie's friends without feeling embarrassed. Zhang Tie treats everyone equally, and no one feels unnatural when they are around him. Invisibly, Zhang Tie has become a core figure in this circle.
Zhang Su and Tang De integrated into this circle a few days ago. At the beginning, they were a little cautious. After all, the people in this small circle were all knight-level figures. After staying for two days, Zhang Both Su and Tang De's sense of restraint disappeared. Even with his brother Bai Suxian, they could chat for a while after drinking.
"In a lower state like Youzhou that has just been upgraded to an organic system, once it is settled, resources such as land can be easily sold, and the earlier it is sold, the cheaper the land here will be. The wealthy families who come to Youzhou to spread their business have a huge demand for these lands. When the Holy War comes, these wealthy families will not put all their eggs in one basket. Look at this map. The states within the Northeast Governor's Prefecture There is no one who has not encircled the governor's family in Youzhou. In fact, the wealthy families in Taixia have grown step by step like this. Not only the various wealthy families in the Northeast Governor's Mansion, but also the wealthy families in Youzhou, such as Donghe The county prestige of the Jun Gu family, the Lu family of Lingfeng County, the Guo family of Sanquan County, the Yan family of Chaoyang County, the Liu family of Changshan County, the Ximen family of Xingbei County, and the Sun family of Guide County has all expanded in a complete circle. The Gu family and the Lu family have expanded the most, followed by the Guo family in Sanquan County. Donghe County and Lingfeng County both have an area of nearly three million square kilometers. The Guo family in Sanquan County has also expanded to more than 200 square kilometers. Ten thousand square kilometers, bordering the Zhulong Territory... On the contrary, Huaiyuantang has not expanded much in recent years... "
After Zhang Tie finished speaking, Tang De took over. While drinking the Xiaoxue Chuqing, which is said to be the best in Youzhou, he shook his head and pointed on the map.
"With a foundation like the Zhulong Leader, the Iron Dragon Sect will definitely be able to flourish in the future!" Master Pengshan nodded affirmatively on the side, also holding a cup of Xiaoxue Chuqing in his hand.
Xiaoxue Chuqing is sweet and refreshing in the mouth, but the alcohol content is very long and deep. Drinking alone has a unique and strange taste, like sunshine with snow in your throat, turning into pieces of plum blossoms falling into your arms, announcing the coming of spring with a sense of warmth. It took Tang De and Pengshan Zhenren to drink two cups, and their faces were all over. It became rosy, and even the breath he exhaled carried the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms.
Xiaoxuechuqing is produced in Bailulou on Changlong Mountain outside Youzhou City. I heard that the brewing method is very special and completely different from ordinary wine. The water used to make this wine is melted from the petals of plum blossoms on Changlong Mountain every year after Xiaoxuechuqing clears. The first drop of snow. For this reason, Bailu Tower brews less than 100 jars of Xiaoxue Chuqing every year. In Youzhou, even Zhang Taixuan cannot drink it whenever he wants. Zhang Tie's wheel-turning ceremony this time. Bailulou directly sent thirty jars of Xiaoxue Chuqing that were more than ten years old to the Zhang family. In the past few days, most of these wines were destroyed by the wine lovers around Zhang Tie. Among them, Feng Cangwu and Bai Suxian drank the most, followed closely by Lu Zhongming and Tang De. Master Pengshan and Zhang Su were almost tied for the third echelon. Bai Suxian and Lin Huanxi both drank moderately, but Zhang Tie drank the least.
On the map, Zhang Tie's Zhulong Territory has been integrated. In Youzhou, it was originally bordered by the Li family of Miyun County, and now it borders the Guo family of Sanquan County. The Sanquan County of the Guo family was just given to Zhang Tie next to Jinquan Road. of more than two million square kilometers of land.
The Zhulong Territory, which covers more than eight million square kilometers, is now the largest private territory in Youzhou, larger than the combined territories of the Gu family and the Lu family combined.
Speaking of Sanquan County, Zhang Tie's mind came back to the last parting look that Guo Hongyi turned to look at him before leaving Baohu Mountain after the wheel-turning ceremony that day.
Zhang Tie felt that if he had invited Guo Hongyi to stay, Guo Hongyi would never have left. However, Zhang Tie did not keep Guo Hongyi at that time, nor did he say anything else. Guo Hongyi's slightly resentful expression when she left The look in his eyes made Zhang Tie's little heart beat a few times a little unsatisfactorily.
Looking at the border between Sanquan County and Zhulong Territory on the map, Zhang Tie touched his chin with one hand and thought, could this be God's will? Otherwise, why was the land sent by Jin Quan Dao such a coincidence? It's right next to Sanquan County. I hope nothing happens, otherwise it will be lively and beautiful around me.
For some reason, Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi seemed to dislike each other since they first met at the Tielong Sect's founding ceremony. Zhang Tie could vaguely smell the two of them. There was an invisible smell of gunpowder between them. If these two women were by his side, and they were two female knights, Zhang Tie would feel a little overwhelmed just thinking about it.
Thinking this, Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at Bai Suxian, who was right next to him. Bai Suxian happened to look over as well.
"Are you thinking about that woman again?" Bai Suxian's voice directly appeared in Zhang Tie's ears.
Damn it, sometimes women’s intuition is too scary.
Zhang Tie would not admit it even to death, so he could only pretend to be confused and replied, "What woman? Aren't I always at home with you these past few days?"
"Huh, don't think I don't know. You were flirting with that woman on the day of the wheel-turning ceremony..." Bai Suxian was filled with jealousy.
"You are thinking too much..." Zhang Tie responded seriously.
"Hahaha, brother Zhang Tie and sister Suxian are really inseparable. At this time, both of them have to talk to each other..." Lu Zhongming, who discovered that Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were talking through sound transmission, laughed and joked to the side. Bai Suxian was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Tie laughed heartily, "Haha, it's hard to conquer a woman, and it's even harder for a female knight to conquer. I'm a junior in this aspect, and I have to learn more from you, Brother Lu. A virtuous couple is the couple of gods and immortals!"
Lu Zhongming also laughed, but Lin Huanxi, who was slightly thin-skinned, blushed slightly, "Why do you, the leader of your sect, the Knight of the Earth, say such things!"
"Okay, I was wrong. It's hard for men to surrender, and it's even harder for male knights to surrender. It's not Brother Lu who surrendered you, but you who surrendered Brother Lu. That's okay!" Zhang Tie immediately raised his hands and surrendered, letting Bai Suxian and Lin Huanxi both laughed.
Bai Suxian and her brother had been slightly drunk for a long time. At this moment, they were half lying on a couch in the lounge, playing chess with Zhang Su to pass the time. There was not much difference in their chess skills. Once they started fighting on the chessboard, it was really... When you meet an opponent in chess, you will encounter a talented person, and the fight will be inextricable. Everyone is very devoted. Zhang Tie's Zhulong Territory is indeed quite large in Youzhou, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Guangnan, there is really nothing to be excited about in such a place that is less than 10 million square kilometers, so he also Too lazy to look at any map. Among the infinite territory of hundreds of millions of mountains in Southern Border, the area of a mountain range commanded by any cave master, peak master, beast master, or beast king would be much larger than this.
Feng Cangwu, who drank half a jar of Xiaoxuechuqing after getting on the flying boat, fell asleep soundly on the soft couch on the other side of the lounge without any scruples. I heard that this is a strange practice method of the Tianji Sect. , which makes others envious.
The atmosphere in the lounge was relaxed. The Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace, who was playing chess, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Tie, "You said that coming to Iron Dragon Sect this time will open our eyes. I don't know what you want us to see!"
"Haha, you will know when you get there. This time, brother, when you return to Southern Xinjiang, you can also bring something back to see if the legion in Southern Xinjiang can use it. Even if the legion does not need it, it will be useful in other places. Even if Give me a business for you to do, brother!"
Zhang Tie has no airs. For those who are with him and whom he regards as friends, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace, after getting to know each other, as long as they are obviously older than him, he will not care whether they are better than him or not. They called me brother, which made everyone feel comfortable, and within a few days, everyone got used to it.
Hearing Zhang Tie say that he wanted to give him a business, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Guangnan Palace laughed dumbly, and asked half-truth and half-truth through a bit of drunkenness, "You don't want to give him the full-effect potion business in southern Xinjiang?" Give it to me. This business is a big deal. We can have a good talk and you won’t suffer any loss. Apart from this business, I really have no interest in other businesses that make millions of gold coins a year. Although I I have to maintain a lot of people and more than ten legions here, and I need to spend a lot of money every year. But if the business I am involved in makes less money, I will lose face in southern Xinjiang. Some people will think that I have problems with my vision and ability. I am afraid that some brothers in my family think that I am not qualified to sit in the position of the crown prince of the Guangnan Palace... "
"The business of millions of gold coins has indeed decreased. This business is not a full potion. Brother, you have seen how the full potion is produced in Jinwu City..." Zhang Tie laughed, "Given that the Guangnan Palace is in Nan Xinjiang's power, brother, if you really want to do this business and earn hundreds of millions of gold coins a year, it's just like playing. The same goes for Brother Lu. If you two want to keep the Minling Sword Sect in Guzhou, there is no way. Money is not enough. Just relying on the annual payment from the disciples and the little land rent from the Minling Sword Sect, my life is not easy. I have called Brother Lu this time to let you see how this business is doing. Guzhou can’t do anything well. If you think it can be done, everyone will make a fortune together...” (To be continued~^~)
