Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 21

At this time in previous years, when it was December, it should have snowed in Heiyan City, but in Jinhai City, which was tens of thousands of miles away from Heiyan City, it only rained last night.

Because of the rain, the air seems to be very good early this morning.

This is already the third day since Zhang Tie came to Jinhai City to reunite with his family.

Although there were some ups and downs, and his father suffered more than ten days in prison, in the end, the decision-makers of the family still released Zhang Tie's father because of the relationship of "Shen Suan", which was a surprise. No risk, among them, Zhang Tie heard from his elder brother that the family boss who came from the Jin Haicheng line of the family and was called the sixth uncle by his father played a key role in it.

Because of the help of the sixth uncle, this tragedy that might cause my father to spend his next life in prison, and the tragedy of breaking up Zhang Tie's family, passed peacefully.

In terms of seniority, in the generation of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, the sixth uncle should be called the sixth uncle. This is a family elder who is nearly three generations different from Zhang Tie and his generation. I heard that it is Zhang Tie. A little cousin of their great-grandfather's generation. This sixth uncle is well-known in Jinhai City. He is in charge of the family's clan pavilion. He is also the only member of the Jinhaicheng lineage in the family elders' meeting. representative.

Hearing such news, Zhang Tie secretly kept it in his heart, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he must repay this sixth uncle whom he had never met before.

The Jinhaicheng lineage of the Zhang family originally originated from the Qifang of Duke Huaiyuan, and their blood relationship is closer. Today, there are more than 20,000 people in the Jinhaicheng lineage of Huaiyuantang, which is close to 30,000. This number is among the eight cities of Huaiyuantang. The ranking is low, but in Jinhai City, it is truly the first family worthy of the name, and the most authoritative ruler of Jinhai City.

The family stayed alone in Heiyan City for decades, and then suddenly realized that they had accidentally become a member of such a big family. To be honest, Zhang Tie hadn't really converted for a while.

For today's breakfast, my mother cooked a pot of eight-treasure porridge with great interest. My mother started to prepare many ingredients for this eight-treasure porridge last night. The loving smile on the fine wrinkles made Zhang Tie dazed for a moment, as if he was back in Heiyan City and his mother watched him eat breakfast every morning when he went to school.

For several months away from home, running around, fighting and experiencing all kinds of dangers, at this moment, under the eight-treasure porridge made by his mother, it has all disappeared, and Zhang Tie only has a warm warmth from the family flowing in his heart .

"Eat, eat more, there is still in the pot!" Seeing Zhang Tie's spoon moving slowly, Zhang Tie's mother immediately scooped another large spoon into Zhang Tie's bowl.

"Give me a spoonful for sister-in-law too, she needs nutrition most now!" Zhang Tie said vaguely while eating.

"What do you know, does your mother still use you to teach?" Zhang Tie's father knocked on Zhang Tie's head.

The more than ten days of imprisonment, because the time was too short, did not seem to have left any traces on Zhang Tie's father's body and spirit. I relaxed, and the smile on my face was much more.

Unexpectedly, the "Pearl Heart Magician" that I bought for a few small silver coins at the street stall played a huge role again. This is really something that Zhang Tie never expected at the beginning. With so many benefits, Zhang Tie has a feeling that he has not fully grasped all the secrets of "Spiritual Fortune Telling" until now.

Because in these two days,

Zhang Tie found that every time he visualized the two thirteen-level abacus in his mind, the process of performing different four arithmetic operations at the same time became more and more smooth. A feeling of becoming more and more agile, I seem to be able to focus on two completely different things slowly, it feels very amazing.

"Last night, I went to look for the building on Xinhe Street that my mother mentioned. Grandpa, grandma and uncle's family no longer live there. I inquired about it. They moved out as early as ten years ago. , I seem to have moved to Xince City, because you were already asleep when you came back, so I didn’t bother you.” Zhang Yang was also eating eight-treasure porridge, and at the same time reported to his parents the results of his inquiring about the news yesterday.

Hearing such news, Zhang Tie's mother sighed faintly.

"Mom, don't worry. If you want to find them as soon as possible, we can just publish a missing person notice in the newspaper. There are a lot of living people, and they are in Huaiyuan County, so it is impossible to find them!" Seeing that his mother seemed a little sad, Zhang Tie quickly comforted him.

"Published in the newspaper?" Mom blinked, as if a little moved by the idea.

"Since we know that Renji probably went to Xince City, then your mother and I will go to Xince to look for it when we have time. Anyway, it takes a few hours to drive back and forth, and we can pay some money to hire someone to help us find it. If it really doesn’t work, then publish it in the newspaper, we just came back, it’s better to keep everything at home low-key now!” Zhang Tie’s father said calmly.

Since returning to Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie has also found that his father has calmed down a lot.

After hearing what Dad said, several members of the family thought about it and nodded.

After breakfast, the family got a little nervous and busy. Everyone tidied up and put on the decent clothes they bought in the past two days, especially Zhang Tie's father, who was the first to grow so big. Once I saw my dad put on a double-breasted men's suit and a bow tie.

After putting on such a suit of clothes, Zhang Tie's father's temperament looked completely different from before.

"Father, you really look like a young master when you dress up like this!" Zhang Tie joked.

"Oh, I haven't worn such clothes for decades, and even the action of tying a bow tie is a little rusty!" Zhang Tie's father sighed.

When the family was in Heiyan City, Zhang Tie felt inexplicably sour in his heart when his father often wore the whitewashed work clothes from the factory in his impression of going out early and returning late every day for the sake of the family’s livelihood. , I have strengthened my determination to go to Qianlongtang. I have grown up, and it is time to take on the burden of the family.

It was almost 9:30 in the morning, Zhang Tie's father's brother, Zhang Tie's uncle came to pick up Zhang Tie and the others on time.

Zhang Tie's uncle is over 50 years old, his face shape is 60-70% similar to Zhang Tie's father, and his appearance is a bit gentle, but compared with Zhang Tie's father, Zhang Tie's uncle is a little fatter. The whole person has a pampered atmosphere, and he also wears a pair of glasses.

Because Zhang Tie's uncle often came over during this period, everyone was familiar with him, so there was a lot less politeness.

The family got into a black, three-row car, and then the car left the current residence.

Jinhai City is also a seaside city. It is not as prosperous as Yiyang, but it is also a very large city. This city has a population of 3.4 million. It is the manufacturing center of the Huaiyuantang Zhang family. over the Ruhr. One-half of the ships and one-fifth of the airships in Jinyun Kingdom come from various manufacturing factories in Jinhai City.

When the car drove to the city's seaside boulevard, there were densely packed docks of various sizes on the sea and harbor in the distance.

"Let's go to the shipyard at home first, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang probably haven't seen each other yet!" The uncle sitting in the front row turned his head and said to his father.

Dad nodded, "Okay, let's go and have a look. I haven't seen it for a long time. I don't know how the shipyard at home is doing these years?"

"The old man has merged two shipyards successively in these years. Now the scale and strength of Xinghe Shipyard in the shipbuilding field can rank third in Jinhai City and fifth in the entire Jinyun Kingdom. Now the shipyard's main One is a 500-ton to 2,000-ton offshore fishing boat, the other is a Yuanjiang-class passenger ship, and the other is a fast destroyer that was bid by the Jinyun State Navy. The old man is ambitious and plans to launch a 10,000-ton class next year. The ocean-going fishing vessel project has allowed Xinghe Shipyard to officially enter the ranks of 10,000-ton shipbuilders!"

"The original dock at home can't manufacture a 10,000-ton ocean-going fishing boat. Is the new dock already under construction?"

"It will be completed in two months. My family's shipyard started out manufacturing fishing boats, and I have accumulated a lot over the years. It is no problem to manufacture 10,000-ton ocean-going fishing boats!"

"Ocean-sea fishing is a high-risk and high-return industry. Vessels suitable for ocean fishing operations are produced according to orders, and the requirements are very strict. How could the shipyard at home receive an order before it even built a dock?" Zhang Tie Dad was slightly surprised.

"The order comes from the family. I also find it a bit strange. Last year, the Changfeng Merchant Group, the ocean-going fishery company, and the ocean-going shipping company to which the family belonged issued several development plans almost at the same time. The demand for the above-mentioned ocean-going fishing boats, ocean-going passenger ships and ocean-going freighters has increased several times than before. It seems very aggressive and a little ridiculous. The plan was actually approved by the family council of Huaiyuantang. The first batch of funds for the renovation of the Xinghe Shipyard’s dock was the interest-free loan provided by Huaiyuan Bank. When the keel of a 10,000-ton ocean-going fishing vessel is laid, Huaiyuan Bank prepays 40% of the ship’s payment for the ocean-going fishing company. I have received orders like this…”

Listening to the discussion between father and uncle, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang sitting in the back of the car glanced at each other. Both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Neither of them thought that their father was born in such a family. The ranking of the shipyard in this family is the third in Jinhai City, and the fifth in the entire Jinyun Kingdom, which sounds a bit awesome... .If you like this work, you are welcome to come to ◤First ◢ to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
