"This is... the complete planning and design of the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland?" Tang De asked Zhang Tie, his tone seemed to be a little unbelievable.

"Not bad!" Zhang Tie nodded, "One of the main purposes of coming here is to bring this thing to you, and send it to the ice and snow wasteland through the channels of Jinpeng Bank, so that they can follow the design of this plan. Let’s get to work!”

Tang De sighed and said with some admiration, "Huaiyuantang is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I didn't expect to be able to come up with such a complete urban planning and design plan so quickly. It seems that you, the elder, are doing well in Huaiyuantang!"

Seeing that Tang De mistakenly thought this was the masterpiece of Huaiyuantang, Zhang Tie smiled. If everyone could think so, it would save him the effort of explaining.

"Can we get the Earth Crystal in Jinquan Dao?" After explaining the map, Zhang Tie looked at Tang De seriously and talked about important matters. If he could get the Earth Element Crystal from the Golden Quan Dao, then it would also give him an additional source of Earth Element Crystal, which would also improve his cultivation progress.

"Earth Yuan Crystal?" Tang De also knew what kind of problems Zhang Tie was facing. When he heard these four words, Tang De's face became serious, "To say that Jin Quan Dao couldn't get the Earth Yuan Crystal is to say It’s a lie, but earth element crystals are very important to knights, and no one can have too much. With your current authority as the master of dark gold, you can purchase some earth element crystals every year through the Golden Power Dao!”

"How much can I buy?"

"Special price, one hundred thousand gold coins, you can buy four of them every year!"

"Can I buy more?"

"That is unless you can advance to the next level in the Golden Spring Path and become the Dark Copper Leader. The Dark Copper Leader can buy eight Earth Element Crystals every year!"

Four? It is equal to the amount of earth crystals provided by Huaiyuantang to the family elders every year, but this amount is not enough for Zhang Tie's second earth chakra that needs to be condensed. It's still a drop in the bucket, not enough to fill a gap in your teeth, but it's better than nothing, better than nothing.

What about the Lord of Dark Bronze? Zhang Tie secretly shook his head. With his current status and contribution in Jin Quan Dao, upgrading to the Dark Bronze Lord would not be something that could be accomplished in thirty or eight years.

Zhang Tie sighed helplessly. "Then, I will buy what I can buy this year first. You don't need to ask me about this in the future. I will take the share that I can buy every year, and the money can be transferred directly from my account at Jinpeng Bank. Got it!"

"Okay, but you need to wait a moment after the order is submitted. These earth element crystals come from the Eastern Continent. It will take three months at the earliest before the earth element crystal can be handed over to you in Huaiyuan County!"

"Three months is enough. At least there is hope. Thank God if I can buy some!" Zhang Tie spread his hands.

Tang De looked at Zhang Tie, his eyes suddenly filled with emotion...

"I don't owe you money, right? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Tie was a little embarrassed by this guy.

"When you were in Black Flame City, could you have imagined that one day you would be able to buy a hundred thousand gold coins for a Earth Element Crystal as easily as buying a big radish? You would consume hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year without blinking an eyelid. At that time, I said that I drank a cup of tea worth several gold coins. But you regarded it as a fantasy and a boast!"

Zhang Tie was also touched when he heard Tang De talk about what happened in Black Flame City.

Back then in Black Flame City. Because my parents saw that my qualifications were mediocre and that I was not good at anything, in order to find a job that would be easy to make a living for me in the future, they tried their best and asked the local Chinese businessman to introduce me to a job in a grocery store. I took this opportunity to learn some skills and gain more knowledge. Unexpectedly, it was for this reason that I met Tang De. After working in the grocery store, for a few silver coins, I went to the war hall to make human sandbags. Under the stimulation of those strong youthful hormones, I wanted to hook up with the beautiful sparring girls in the fighting hall, but she was still rejected and despised. Before the graduation trial, during the coming-of-age ceremony for every man, my father quietly had sex with her. I had a few silver coins of my own money to let myself experience the joy of being a man. Unexpectedly, I encountered something extremely embarrassing for the first time at Mrs. Anna's place. If I didn't circumcise, I couldn't even do that kind of thing. In the end He ran away in embarrassment. If this was youth, his own youth was as green as a castrated dog...

At that time, the only warm memory I had, apart from my family, was that I saw the innocent and surprised faces of those children when I went to Mother Teresa’s orphanage every week to deliver rice soup. Every time I went, those The little guy called his brother and brother and surrounded him, just like a group of kittens and puppies waiting to be fed, which made people feel inexplicably distressed...

Zhang Tie fell silent. After a long time, Zhang Tie exhaled and looked at Tang De Youyou and said, "Are you feeling bored now? How about I find you a job?"

Tang De was suddenly alert. He looked at Zhang Tie warily and said slyly, "Let's talk and listen first!"

"Knowing that I have become a family elder, my parents are not at ease. They want me to accumulate some good deeds in Huaiyuan County, and want me to give porridge here to give those hungry people a chance to survive. I have thought about it over and over again. , I just left this matter to you!"

"Ah, if you just say something about this kind of thing, with your status as the elder of the family, the people under Huaiyuantang will be able to handle it for you. What do you want me to do?"

"I want to tell you, who in Huaiyuantang dares to charge me a copper coin for this matter?" Zhang Tie also sighed, "But my mother said that if you do this kind of thing, you have to pay for it yourself. My own, you must not rely on your own power to touch Huaiyuantang's money. This is what she has told me countless times. You know what she said to my brother. Now she is actually worried that I don't have enough money. My brother said, if I don’t have enough money to give soup, then she will send me the little private money she and my father have saved so that I can do more good deeds here!”

Tang De was also dumbfounded. How could Zhang Tie's parents know how rich Zhang Tie was? This time in the northern seas alone, this guy had set up a trap to make nearly 300 million gold coins. After excluding this money, The guy took out 90 million gold coins to build the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. The rest is over 200 million. The gold coins of over 200 million are now all in the account of Jinpeng Bank. Jinpeng Bank has made a financial plan for this guy. This guy can enjoy the deposit interest of 18 million gold coins every year without using the principal. 18 million gold coins is not a small amount. This means that this guy can earn almost 50,000 gold coins every day even if he lies down and does nothing. , even without this windfall, with his status as a family elder, Huaiyuantang's annual offerings to the family elders are estimated to be millions of gold coins. Zhang Tie's parents are actually worried that this guy has no money? This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.

"What do you want to do?" Tang De asked Zhang Tie.

"I will give you 50,000 gold coins every year. You can hire some servants who have fled to Huaiyuan County in difficulty, and open a few more soup kitchens outside the three cities of Huaiyuan Hall. You will have two meals a day, and prepare some porridge, dried vegetables, and steamed buns." Distribute things like this to give those hungry people a chance to survive!"

To open such a stall in three cities, the 50,000 gold coins, excluding the labor and operating costs, will only be about 25,000 gold coins that can actually be used to buy food and distribute it. This amount of money will be spread equally among the three cities. , in one year, no more, no less, just enough to provide a small group of people in several cities who have the most difficulty in making a living with a meal when they need it, ensuring that no one will starve to death. This account, Zhang Tie After careful calculation, if it is less, it will not be enough; if it is too much, it may be necessary to support lazy people.

With Tang De's careful calculation, Zhang Tie knew that this money would be of greatest use if given to Tang De.

"Okay, I will also follow you to accumulate some virtue. I did this, who asked me to board your pirate ship!" Tang De sighed. He also knew that Zhang Tie was not only entrusting this kind of family affairs to him. It was out of trust in him, but Zhang Tie already regarded him as a family member. Tang De didn't say anything, but there was a warmth in his heart, "How long do you have to do this!"

"Let's wait until the demon clan's vanguard reaches the north bank of Yuanjiang River, no matter how long it takes!"

Tang De was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. This was the style of a rich man. The annual investment of 50,000 gold coins was indeed nothing to Zhang Tie now.

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie left Jinpeng Bank.

After leaving Jinpeng Bank, Zhang Tie walked around Stargazing City, then bought a suitcase in a store, and then took the suitcase to a relatively deserted clothing store. At the store's 20% off promotional price , spent a gold coin to buy a lot of extremely ordinary clothes that were very different from his current figure, and then stuffed those clothes into the suitcase, finally closed the box, and carried the big He left Stargazing City with a suitcase and returned to the Hurricane Legion's station.

The people in the legion commander's camp saw Zhang Tie walking back with a suitcase after leaving the legion. It seemed that he had gone to Star Observation City to join in the fun of "shopping". The expressions on their faces were, All very strange.

As a family elder, if he wants something, he can just ask and a lot of things will be put in front of him for him to choose from. There is no need to buy anything in person, but Zhang Tie just bought a box of things.

No one knew what was in that box.

Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask.

Before the arrival of the new year, among a small circle of senior officers of the Hurricane Corps, what was contained in the suitcase brought back by the commander of the Mushen Corps that day became a matter of heated discussion in private.

Some people guessed that the suitcase contained magical weapons, some speculated that it contained a lot of high-level secrets, and some speculated that it contained high-level potions... All the speculations revolved around a man who owned It is based on the default assumption that the things in the gift box must be used by knights.

No one could guess that the suitcase contained a bunch of ill-fitting clothes that Zhang Tie had brought back at a promotional price.

Similarly, no matter how curious they are, no one dares to go to Star Observation City to really investigate - if they dare to privately investigate the whereabouts of family elders and legion commanders, that is no different from committing suicide.
