Chapter 19 Family

In the evening, after more than two weeks, the airship departing from Karur finally arrived at Yiyang City, Huaiyuan County, Jinyun Country. The hall name of Huaiyuan Hall of the Zhang family is the name of the county, and the entire county is the family land of the Zhang family.

For the first time, Zhang Tie felt what a family is. In Zhang Zhitian's introduction on the airship, Zhang Tie knew that in the entire Huaiyuan County, there were more than 200,000 members of the Zhang family with the blood of Duke Huaiyuan's lineage. Among them, including the captain of the airship, the chief mate, the technician in the engine room, Zhang Zhitian, an ordinary crew member, and Zhang Tie, if you look at the family tree, the five people are definitely relatives, because everyone has the blood of Duke Huaiyuan in them. , just come from different branches of Huaiyuantang.

Duke Huaiyuan had eight wives and more than forty children. The clansmen of each of the eight wives gathered in one city. Qihai City, Fubo City with five houses, Yunzhou City with six houses, Jinhai City with seven houses, and Tai'an City with eight houses. The blood of Lord Huaiyuan in these eight cities has multiplied for hundreds of years. scale.

Among the eight cities, Yiyang City is not only the county seat of Huaiyuan County, but also the political, economic and cultural center of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang.

Yiyang City is a city close to the sea. The prosperity and scale of the whole city are more than ten times that of Heiyan City. There are 21 million people living in this city and its surrounding areas. Yiyang Port is not only The largest port in Jinyun Country is in the entire Weiyi subcontinent, and the annual cargo throughput of Yiyang Port can also be ranked among the top three.

If Zhang Tie’s impression of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang was only based on other people’s introductions, then when the airship approached Yiyang City, the strength and heritage of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang suddenly became like this city. Standing in front of Zhang Tie made Zhang Tie feel his own insignificance and the strength of this family.

To Zhang Tie, the densely packed ships on the harbor and the sea and the various airships in the sky like crucian carp crossing the river are just like the scene in the painting.

The passengers on the deck who came from Karur City saw this scene, and many of them have already exclaimed, and many of the passengers shouted in their unproficient Chinese, "Yiyang... Yiyang..."

"Are you planning to settle down in Yiyang?" Zhang Zhitian asked Zhang Tie.

"I probably have to go back to Jinhai City first, and I don't know if I will be in Jinhai in the future!" Zhang Tie thought about it and told Zhang Zhitian.

"When I come back this time, my three-year practice points on the airship are enough. I plan to sign up for the family's airship force, to be a real soldier, and to be a captain in the future!" Zhang Zhitian said with complacency.

"Then I wish you all the best..." Zhang Tie smiled.

During this period of time, Zhang Tie has roughly known some of the situation on the airship. On the airship, many young people under the age of 18 like Zhang Zhitian are trainees on the airship. This is the talent training mechanism of the Zhang family. , for most teenagers in Huaiyuan County, the most rebellious period between the ages of 15 and 18, most of them did not spend leisurely in school, but entered all walks of life as interns to work hard , get in touch with the society, accumulate qualifications and experience, and determine your future development direction. After the crown ceremony at the age of 18, you are considered an adult, you can enjoy many social rights, and you can officially join the army and be appointed to a formal position and have a formal job.

Compared with the talent education system like the factory assembly line in Heiyan City, the education system of the Chinese in this era is more stringent. A young man with a weak crown who only turns sixteen after turning over the Chinese New Year like Zhang Tie is absolutely unheard of in Huaiyuantang. Possibility of formally joining the army,

Let alone become an officer.

"I heard from the first mate that your ability to shoot down those iron-billed ibis with the arrows on those ballistas for the first time seems to be an awakening of the blood of your ancestors related to throwing skills?" Zhang Zhitian looked at Zhang Tie with burning eyes. His eyes were full of envy.

Zhang Tie smiled wryly. This is the difference in the cultural background he has been exposed to since he was a child. This problem has troubled him for a long time. In Huaiyuantang, it seems that many people know it. He only showed it once, and he was guessed. " It should be. At the beginning, I didn't know what was going on, but suddenly, my throwing ability became very accurate. It was also before returning to Huaiyuantang that I realized that this was the awakening of the Chinese people. The performance of the blood of the ancestors! By the way, is there any friend around you who is the same as me?"

"There is one, that is a classmate in my class at school. When the school held the sports meeting, his ancestral blood suddenly awakened. His archery skills were mediocre, but he became a school athlete that year. The archery champion at the sports meeting!"

"His awakened ancestral blood is related to bows and arrows?"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhitian glanced at Zhang Tie strangely, "Don't you know that one of the two strongest ancestral bloodlines of the Zhang family is the bloodline of the bow and arrow department?"

Zhang Tie smiled embarrassedly, "I really don't know!"

...

The airship finally landed at an airship base of the Changfeng Merchant Group.

After saying goodbye to a few friends he met on the airship, Zhang Tie got off the airship with a simple luggage, just like the passengers who came to Yiyang City for the first time. Zhang Tie was thinking about leaving the airship base. When he first bought a train ticket to go back to Jinhai City, Zhang Tie had already seen his brother, with him, there were two men in black uniforms, and there was a car behind the three of them.

"Brother!" Zhang Tie was excited, and hurried up three steps in two steps. The two brothers hugged vigorously, and Zhang Yang was also a little excited. The two brothers parted this time, although it was only a few months. , but it feels like a reunion after life and death. Whether it is Zhang Tie or Zhang Tie's family, during this period of time, too many things have happened, and too many twists and turns and turmoil have been experienced.

"How's Dad? Is Mom's illness cured?" As soon as the two separated, Zhang Tie asked two questions at once.

Zhang Yang first looked at Zhang Tie carefully from the beginning, and then smiled, "Dad has returned, and I know that you will return safely soon, and Mom's illness is also cured!"

Zhang Tie was overjoyed. He never expected that the thing that worried him the most would be resolved during the few days he was on the airship. This is the real happy event worth celebrating. "Dad is back?"

"Well, let's talk about the details when we get home!" Zhang Yang gave Zhang Tie a wink, and then introduced him to the two men in uniform beside him, "These two are the officers of the Zongren Pavilion of Huaiyuan Hall!"

The two men nodded peacefully to Zhang Tie.

After being introduced by Zhang Zhitian on the airship, Zhang Tie already knew what the Zongren Pavilion was about. When he came back this time, on the Zhang family's side, he must first cleanse and confirm his identity, otherwise, he would come by himself. To Jin Yunguo's identity, he is definitely still the murderer wanted by the secret police of the Norman Empire.

After a few introductions here, the four got into the car, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang sat in the back of the car, and the two Zongren Pavilion officers sat in the front, and the car drove out of the airship base all the way.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Tie briefly talked to his elder brother about all the things that happened in the Karur war zone after he left Heiyan City, while staring at the things outside the car with his eyes wide open, lamenting the prosperity of this city and prosperity.

There is a lot of traffic on the road, pedestrians on the street are shoulder to shoulder, and tall buildings are next to each other. Looking along the road, there are Chinese billboards everywhere on both sides of the road, and among the pedestrians on the road, although people of all skin colors Yes, but more than 95% of them are black-haired and black-eyed Chinese. The laughter and chatter of pedestrians in the roadside shops and children playing are all in Chinese. Zhang Tie in Heiyan City suddenly relaxed inexplicably, and a sense of belonging came from his blood.

The so-called Zongren Pavilion is of course not as simple as an attic. The headquarters of the clan management organization of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang is actually a square building with a height of more than 20 floors. There are strict guards at the entrance of the building. The reason why the people from Zongrentang brought Zhang Tie here was to complete the final confirmation of Zhang Tie's identity. The simple confirmation process was beyond Zhang Tie's expectation.

Zhang Tie was taken to a room in the building. On the table in the middle of the room was a strange black crystal, which was inlaid on a silver-white base with strange runes. Under personal supervision, the secretary of the Zongren Pavilion who brought Zhang Tie back pierced Zhang Tie's finger with a needle, and asked Zhang Tie to drip blood from his finger onto the crystal, and the black crystal began to light up. , the whole identification process is completed.

After completing this process, Zhang Tie took another photo here and filled out two forms. After sitting in the lounge with my brother and waiting for less than ten minutes, an officer who brought Zhang Tie carved a complicated The patterned rectangular ultimatum was given to Zhang Tie.

Most of this ID card is made of metal, but there is a transparent crystal inlaid in the middle of the front of the ID card. Under the crystal is a portrait that Zhang Tie just took a picture of. Under the crystal portrait, Zhang Tie's name is also engraved. Very beautiful and special. On the back of the card, the words Huaiyuan Zhang are engraved.

"This thing is your identity certificate. You have to keep it well. If you lose it, the consequences will be serious!"

"How serious is it?"

"One hundred gold coins, hard labor for half a year, and 20 family contribution points will be deducted!"

Zhang Tie took a breath of air, one hundred gold coins, that is 2,500 grams of gold, needless to say half a year of hard labor, even those 20 family contribution points seem to be quite rare.

"Is this thing worth more than gold?" Zhang Tie asked.

The officer who handed the ID card to Zhang Tie smiled slightly, "There are seven kinds of precious alloys used on your ID card, among which the value of Hailan Iron and Peacock Copper is more than ten times that of gold. , There are several secret skills in the manufacturing process of this ultimatum, and it cannot be made by non-Zhang. This ultimatum is extremely difficult to damage, and it cannot be restored after being damaged. At least in the Weiyi subcontinent, no one can counterfeit it. The secret pattern on the card contains the metal two-dimensional identification code generated for you by the steam analysis machine in the Zongren Pavilion, which is your unique identity and authority identification in the family, do you think this thing is important?"

Zhang Tie was taken aback by these words, "Then ask again, what are family contribution points?"
