As soon as Zhang Su brought the Governor and Gao Tianqi to the lake, before they even got close, the steel-hulled boat speeding on the lake turned a corner in the lake and headed towards the lake.
The boat sailed to the shore, and the true face of the boat was revealed. It was no ordinary boat. The boat had no paddles, manual or foot-operated impellers. Instead, it had a steering wheel at the bow similar to that of a car. At the stern of the ship, there are two engines that drive propeller blades side by side. Most of the engine is at the stern, covered by a beautiful white iron shell, which looks very beautiful. The engine has no boiler or chimney. , its size is not as big as a steam engine. It is not steam-powered, but a candle oil engine. The steel-hulled boat has a beautiful and smooth shape. It is more than ten meters long and has white paint. This is no longer a boat, but a speedboat. It is faster than steam. The powered speedboat is many times faster. When driving in the water and mountains, it feels like flying...
The speedboat arrived at the dock by the lake, and the speed suddenly slowed down. Zhang Tie, who was holding the rudder of the boat, was the first to jump out of the boat. Then two other people followed Zhang Tie to the shore. Behind these two people , are Zhang Tie’s bunch of children.
More than ten people just filled the speedboat to capacity.
"Go, go find your mother and eat some fruit. Dad has guests coming. He will take you to play tomorrow!" With a smile on his face, Zhang Tie touched the heads of the little guys around him and pointed. On the other side of the pavilion, a group of little guys who came ashore were also sensible. They chattered and ran towards the pavilion happily.
On the other side of the pavilion are Mrs. Olina, Aurora, Sabrina, Linda, Beverly, Aimei Aixue and a group of people. Almost all of Zhang Tie's women, except Bai Suxian, are here. Too summery for a while. Olena and Linda, who came from the ice and snow wasteland, also became familiar with each other and got along well with each other.
The children ran over. Olina and others over there looked at Zhang Tie and the people brought by Zhang Su, and then each took the children to a villa by the lake. Leave this place to Zhang Tie.
"Lao Zhou, how is this speedboat?" After the children left, Zhang Tie enthusiastically patted the shoulder of the man next to him and asked with a smile.
That man was Lao Zhou whom Zhang Tie met on the Jinshui River in Xuanyuan Hill last year. After the New Year, Zhang Tie became more and more famous in Taixia. Even Lao Zhou who was far away in Xuanyuan Hill heard about it. After some preparations, Lao Zhou simply took one of his sons and traveled around in an airship. When he came to Zhulong Ling, he wanted to see the unique business on the Jinshui River that Zhang Tie had promised him, and let him have a taste of whether his promise to be a wealthy family was true. This is an opportunity to change the fate of the family, and Lao Zhou naturally doesn't want to miss it.
Lao Zhou came to Zhulong Territory and wandered around alone for two days. Then he went to the Iron Dragon Sect's station, and after taking out the fingerprinted gold coin that Zhang Tie had given him, he was indeed brought here to see Zhang Tie.
Just now, Zhang Tie asked Lao Zhou and his son, who had arrived here, to get on the speedboat and personally drove the speedboat around the lake with the two of them, letting the two of them feel the speed of the speedboat on the water.
"This... this speedboat... was given to me..." Lao Zhou's face was full of excitement, but he still couldn't believe it.
"Of course this speedboat is not for you!"
Lao Zhou's face suddenly froze, but Zhang Tie smiled slightly, "This speedboat has been here for a while. It's not new. If you want to go back to Xuanyuan Hill, of course you need to bring a new one back and transport it by airship. . I will prepare three sets of spare engines and various parts for you. You let your son stay in Zhulong Ling to learn how to repair these candle oil engines. When the speedboat arrives at Xuanyuan Hill, you will be on your own on the Jinshui River. For business, it costs twenty gold coins for one person to take a speedboat tour of the Jinshui River. If you take ten people in a boat, you can easily earn several hundred gold coins a day. If anyone wants to rent, you can charge them one or two thousand a day. Gold coins, from now on the speedboat business on the Jinshui River will be left to your family. Any speedboat that burns candle oil cannot compete with you on the Jinshui River. Anyone who dares to compete with you will have no oil to use. If you use candle oil, You first find a storage place in Xuanyuan Hill and get a few oil storage tanks. I will send you dozens of tons every year. When candle oil becomes available in Xuanyuan Hill, you can purchase it nearby... "
Taking a boat ride on the Jinshui River with dozens of gold coins is completely unimaginable to ordinary people in other places. It is extremely luxurious, but in Xuanyuan Hill where wealthy families gather, rich people like In a place where gold coins are not regarded as money, as long as it is this unique and new thing, let alone dozens of gold coins, even if it is hundreds of gold coins at a time, there are still a lot of people who don't care and want to try what it is like to fly on the Jinshui River. Feel.
If Zhang Tie can control candle oil, he can control this business.
Lao Zhou's eyes turned red, and without saying a word, he took his son and knelt down to Zhang Tie and kowtowed. This business would definitely revitalize their Zhou family. How could he express his gratitude for such a great kindness without kowtowing.
Zhang Tie quickly pulled Lao Zhou and his son up, "Lao Zhou, don't be like this. The friendship between you and me is fate. For your business, just advertise my candle oil in Xuanyuan Hill. It's better to say that I took advantage of you..."
Old Zhou sighed and wiped his tears, "The real person said this to comfort me. In the past few days, I came to the Zhulong Territory. Xuantian City and Tielong Sect are both bustling with people. Those wealthy families in Taixia want to see the real person. There are so many people lining up that they can’t even find a place. If this kind of business is placed in Xuanyuan Hill, where people can earn money every day in an open and honest manner, don’t say that I am just a boatman sailing on the Jinshui River. Even in the Imperial City of the Great Emperor, I can’t find a place. I know how many dignitaries want such a business but cannot get it. Zhenren is a person who values love and justice and promises a thousand dollars. If I don’t even know this, wouldn’t I be living like a dog in my life? I know Zhenren There is no shortage of gold or silver, and I, Old Zhou, have nothing to repay you, Master Zhenren. I hope that if Master Zhenren returns to Xuanyuan Hill one day, I, Old Zhou, will still have the strength to be able to steer the boat for Zhenren Master again. Then let the mother-in-law at home prepare a pot of peach blossom wine for the real person, so that the real person can have a pleasant swim on the Jinshui River... "
"Okay, then it's settled. Next time I go to Xuanyuan Hill, I must go to the Jinshui River to try your peach blossom wine, Lao Zhou!"
Lao Zhou nodded heavily.
Zhang Tie said a few words to Lao Zhou Wenyan, and then called an attendant next to him, asking the attendant to take Lao Zhou and his son down. Since Zhang Tie had explained the rest of the matter, someone below would naturally take care of it.
After seeing off Lao Zhou, Zhang Tie walked directly towards the governor who was standing not far away.
Zhang Tie just said those words. The Governor and Gao Tianqi naturally heard it. Both of them are very thoughtful and intelligent people. From these words, both of them could probably guess the cause and effect of Zhang Tie and Lao Zhou's intersection. Neither of them expected to see Zhang Tie and a trafficker like Lao Zhou interact with each other so honestly and promise a large sum of money. When they saw Zhang Tie coming over, the governor and Gao Tianqi looked at Zhang Tie with strange eyes. .
"Master Supervisor, Brother Tianqi. Long time no see..." Zhang Tie walked over with a faint smile on his face, greeted Master Supervisor Yu Gao Tianqi, and nodded to Zhang Su. His family, at this time, You're welcome.
Zhang Tie's names for the two people have not changed much compared to before. Zhang Tie still calls the two people how he used to call them, but the two people he calls have completely different moods at this time.
At this time, Gao Tianqi did not dare to be called "brother" in Zhang Tie's mouth anymore, hearing Zhang Tie call him that. The governor of the governor's office quickly bowed to Zhang Tie and saluted. From Zhang Tie's address, Gao Tianqi still felt Zhang Tie's respect for him. This respect has not changed with Zhang Tie's current status. As for change, hearing the words "Brother Tianqi" in your ears makes people feel inexplicably comfortable and friendly. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a spring breeze.
For the governor, this is already the third time he has met Zhang Tie. Compared with the previous two times, although Zhang Tie was still respectful to him, he looked up to him less with the same title. There is a bit more of a feeling of equality and friendship. If it were an ordinary knight of the earth, in Cheng Honglie's view, such an attitude would be close to being unruly. But after just watching and hearing about the interaction between Zhang Tie and the boatman "Old Zhou", the governor had nothing to say, and he didn't have the slightest clue. dissatisfied. I just suddenly thought of a sentence in my heart - a gentleman is like jade, strong but not obvious, moist but not demonic, flashy but not burning.
Looking at Zhang Tie's young face that seemed to have never changed, the governor suddenly understood that the Zhang Tie who came over was still Zhang Tie, but he was no longer the same Zhang Tie, but the already famous Qianji Zhenren. .
Being able to place a heavy bet on Zhang Tie so early, the eyes of those immortals from the Tianji Sect are really hard to convince.
"If I appoint you as the Minister of Agriculture of the Northeastern Governor's Office now, is it still too late?" The Governor's words were like a giant axe, chopping down the mountain without giving anyone any time to react.
Hearing this, Zhang Su on the side couldn't help but his heart beat a few times. Xi Nongxiang is the right-hand man of the governor who is in charge of the economic affairs of a governor's palace. The prime minister of Si Nong of the Northeast Governor's Palace, this position, In terms of power and status, he is one level higher than the governor of each state.
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "If the Governor can let Meng Shidao go home as an official, I can consider this suggestion. If the Governor can't, if you let me become an official, that's not poaching. Do you want me to jump into a trap?"
The Governor sighed. According to the news from Xuanyuan Hill, due to the Han Zhengfang case, the Great Situ was about to retire, and the person who took over the position of the Great Situ was none other than Meng Shidao. Meng Shidao had advanced to Half Saint and was currently in Xuanyuan. The prestige of Zhiqiu is as high as the sun, and he is even more trusted by the prince. Who in the world can touch it
The Governor shook his head, "This is my first time coming to the Zhulong Territory, so please accompany me to walk around..."
"good!"
As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, the Governor flew up like lightning and came into the air. Zhang Tie himself also rose into the air and followed closely, and then Gao Tianqi also flew up.
"Where do you want to see, Lord Governor?"
"If you don't want to hide your secret, I would like to go and see the place where you produce candle oil explosive bombs first..." The supervisor's eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie.
"This..." Zhang Tie scratched his head.
The governor's eyes widened, and his power was fully displayed. He looked at Zhang Tie with a black face and a vicious look, "If you don't take me to see it and dare to hide your secrets, I will dismantle your Bird Dragon Sect today." From now on, you build a mountain gate and I will tear down another one. It depends on where you, the sect leader, put your face in front of your disciples. Don’t think that I dare not. As long as I suspect that there are remnants of the Tongtian Sect hiding somewhere, I can turn it upside down. The imperial court and Taixia Law can’t touch a hair on my head!”
Holy shit!
Looking at the Lord Supervisor in front of him, Zhang Tie was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the Lord Supervisor was simply the best of the old in some respects.
Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, the Governor directly said to Gao Tianqi with a straight face, "Issue a transfer order to transfer two corps of 500,000 people from the engineer corps of the Governor's Mansion. Just say that I am leading Xuantian in Zhulong." Traces of the remnants of the Tongtian Sect hiding near the Eighteen Peaks were found, so I asked the engineering corps to dig up the entire Xuantian Eighteen Peaks for me... "
Gao Tianqi's face twitched, he glanced at Zhang Tie, and then silently, a remote sensing communication device used by the Taixia military actually appeared on his hand...
"Okay, Lord Supervisor, this time even if I drink your dragon marrow wine, I owe you. If you want to see it, I will take you to see it..." Zhang Tie quickly raised his hands in surrender... (.)
