Castle of Black Iron

Volume 31 Chapter 9 Summoning Order

This time, Zhang Tie sped up his flight speed a little, and flew from Jinguang City to Baohu City in just over 20 minutes.

Among the original eight cities of Huaiyuantang, the newly built city of Yiyang City in Yanghe County is Baohu City.

From a geographical point of view, this Baohu City has some similarities with the original Yiyang City. They are both by the sea and have the power of maritime trade. Surrounded by Baohu Mountain, although Baohu City has been built for a short time, its development potential is greater than that of Yiyang City. The environment of Baohu Port is also better than that of Yiyang Port From this, we can also see the hard work Huaiyuantang put in here.

The land near the sea to the east of Youzhou is mountainous, and this Baohu Port is one of the two big ports near the sea in Youzhou. In addition to developing sea trade with the coastal states in Taixia, these two big ports in Youzhou In addition, it is also an important port hub connecting the Chaosang subcontinent in the northeast of the Eastern Continent and Taixia. It has its unique location advantages-communicating the north and the south, and connecting Chaosang-these eight characters are exactly the role of Baohu Port The true portrayal is also the foundation of its prosperity.

It was also during the days when he returned to Jinguang City that Zhang Tie gradually learned about the affairs of Youzhou and Taixia.

On land, to the north of Youzhou is a large barren state. The barren state has not yet been established. There are only a few sporadic small cities and human race gathering areas scattered in the vast area. The boundary between the front and the west is not completely clear, and there are large areas of gray and black unexplored and undeveloped areas. Because the largest city in the barren state is called Liaocheng, the barren state was established according to the Taixia convention. It is called Liaozhou temporarily.

Taixia's policy on the barren state completely follows Taixia's ancient thinking of Huang Lao's way of governing by doing nothing. Even the matter of law and order and robbery will be resolved by the locals themselves or maintained by the bounty Xingchao in the local Zhengdaolou. Under such a policy, the barren states of Taixia will recuperate as quickly as possible. It will also burst out with great vitality. The barren state of Taixia is also the place where Taixia's grass gathers and gathers dragons and snakes. Except for Jinquandao, the other six of Taixia's seven major sects are all entrenched in a Within the barren state, just like the Supreme Emperor in that barren state, this is also the compromise of the Taixia court to the six major sects.

In Xiazhou like Youzhou, Taixia’s policy on Xiazhou is a little bit tighter, but it is also much more relaxed than Zhongzhou and Dazhou. In Taixia, the more backward and economically developing areas are, The imperial court will have less interference and give it greater freedom, just like the matter of selecting the governor of Youzhou. This kind of treatment is only available in Xiazhou. If it is in Zhongzhou or Shangzhou, the position of governor, Although there is competition, they are basically appointed by the imperial court. The opinion of the Taixia court is the mainstream, and the nine major divine states of Taixia are even directly controlled by the Taixia royal family, and the position of governor is handpicked by Emperor Xuanyuan. It can be won by fighting.

And the Chaosang sub-continent is also extremely strange. After Zhang Tie came to Youzhou, he heard that the people of the Chaosang sub-continent admired the prosperity and culture of Taixia, and sent missions to Taixia every year, asking to be merged into Taixia and become In the territory of Taixia, I hope that Taixia will send officials and governors to the Chaosang subcontinent, so that the people in the Chaosang subcontinent can call themselves the people of Taixia, and pay taxes to Taixia one by one. In Zhang Tie's view, Taixia has no reason to refuse such a good thing, but what is even more bizarre is that the princes of the Taixia court actually dismissed it and were unwilling to accept the merger of the Chaosang subcontinent at all. entry requirements.

Even the meat brought to his mouth by others has to be picky, and he doesn’t bother to eat it if he doesn’t like it——After coming to Taixia, Zhang Tie finally had a real understanding of the honor and pride of the Taixia Chinese .

The Huohu City under our feet is brightly lit at night, and it is extremely lively. Even though other subcontinents are already full of wars, but in Taixia, even in a remote place like Youzhou, the so-called holy chalk war still cannot let the people here. The prosperity of the city has not shaken at all.

Zhang Tie felt a little touched in his heart.

Zhang Tie's arrival seems to have been noticed by the people below. On Baohu Mountain, a knight's aura was suddenly released and withdrawn, as if greeting Zhang Tie. Feeling that aura, Zhang Tie seemed to accept it. Like the navigation signal, it flew directly towards Baohu Mountain.

A complex of attics and halls with green tiles and cornices is located in the most majestic place of Baohu Mountain. In that complex, Zhang Tie saw the ancestral hall of Huaiyuan Hall at first sight—the ancestral hall The appearance, brick by tile, remains the same as before, without any changes.

Elder Mu En was waiting on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall when Zhang Tie landed on the terrace outside the door

"Elder Mu En!" Zhang Tie bowed his hands to Elder Mu En.

"Old Master Mu!" Elder Mu En smiled, and also cupped his hands at Zhang Tie, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Today, when I saw the power of Elder Mu when he flew over, I knew that Elder Mu Your cultivation base has improved a lot, it is really gratifying to congratulate!"

"Mr. Mu En is too old!" Zhang Tie smiled modestly, "I don't know why the hall was called this time?"

"Elder Mu Shen has just returned to Yanghe County from the Weiyi subcontinent, and is reuniting with his family. If there is no important matter, Huaiyuan Hall will not easily gather all the elders, but this time, it is related to Youzhou. The battle of governors is a century-old plan of Huaiyuan Hall, so when we got the news, we had to gather all the elders to discuss and deal with it

Zhang Tie's heart trembled, "Are the other elders too old?"

"Elder Murray is leaving the original city, a little far away. Except for Elder Murray, the rest of the elders have arrived!" Elder Mu En said.

That Liyuan City is exactly the city that Huaiyuantang originally built in Yanghe County by the Stargazing City lineage. Liyuan City is located in the westernmost part of Yanghe County, and the Stargazing City lineage used to manage the largest slave trade in Huaiyuan County. , after coming to Youzhou, he picked up the business of population trading with familiarity. There is also a non-Chinese slave class in Taixia, and the slave trade is also legal, regardless of whether it is in Youzhou or Liaozhou is a sparsely populated place, especially in Liaozhou, the demand for slaves is even greater, whether it is non-Chinese slaves in Taixia or slaves from the Chaosang subcontinent and other subcontinents or even They are border residents, and there is a huge market demand in Liaozhou and Youzhou.

Hearing the words of Elder Mu En, Zhang Tie nodded and entered the main hall of the ancestral hall.

Entering the main hall, Zhang Tie really admired in his heart that this hall, from the inside to the outside, is exactly the same as before. When he first entered the main hall of the ancestral hall, Zhang Tie thought he had returned to Yiyang Mountain.

"God Mu, old man..."

Elder Mu Yuan, Elder Mu An, Elder Mu Yu, all three elders still came and saw Zhang Tie coming in. The eyes of the three elders all fell on Zhang Tie, and they were all polite. He greeted Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie greeted the three elders and sat down in his seat.

In front of these long-term elders, Zhang Tie was neither humble nor overbearing, with a strict bearing, which made several long-term elders secretly admire in their hearts, what is a knight without luck, that's it.

"The three of us were still discussing the matter of the Weiyi subcontinent before the arrival of Elder Mu Shenchang. The last few years when Elder Mu Shenchang stayed in Huaiyuan County not only made the Hurricane Legion reborn and improved its fighting power to a higher level, but also It also guaranteed the interests of Huaiyuantang in the Weiyi subcontinent to the greatest extent. During the war, the entire Huaiyuan County was in good order under the control of Elder Mu Shenchang. The youngest of the several big families, the prestige and benevolence of Elder Mu Shen Changling has always been heard among the Xibo border residents who came to Youzhou. After coming to Youzhou, they were all very well-behaved, and they settled down soon. The Huaiyuan Church can take root in Youzhou, and Elder Mu's Elder should be credited with the first credit!" Elder Mu An, looking at Zhang Tie, said seriously, The other two elders nodded in agreement.

During the years when Zhang Tie stayed in Huaiyuan Hall, to be honest, Zhang Tie was able to achieve this level, which was completely beyond the expectations of the elders. Especially when compared with the other families in Jinyun Kingdom, Zhang Tie's achievements came out immediately, because in the later stage, he found that the set of Huaiyuantang was very effective for several price families in Jinyun Kingdom. The left-behind elders and the left-behind legion all almost copied what Zhang Tie had implemented in Huaiyuan County—including the adjustment and division of the three-level organization of the Hurricane Legion and the special military management and patrols adopted by the garrisoned cities. Many measures of the military court, even the method of giving out porridge to comfort the refugees and stabilize their hearts, have been copied one by one from the past, and they have also achieved good results. After the wheel-running ceremony, Zhang Tie's reputation once again spread among the wealthy Chinese families of Jinyun and Qilan, which made Huaiyuantang feel very honored.

"War can fight against the outside world and strengthen the army, and defense can calm the people and gather wealth. It is true that Elder Mu Yuchang stayed in the Weiyi subcontinent for a few years, and he has worked hard!" Elder Mu Yuchang said in agreement, stroking his beard.

"I'm just lazy. The most important thing to achieve that achievement is that Huaiyuantang's reputation is not lost. The soldiers of the Hurricane Legion work hard. If a few elders stay behind, I believe that the elders will definitely be able to do better." Good!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Tie still had such a humble and peaceful expression at this time, several long-term elders had a good impression of Zhang Tie, and they really began to agree with Zhang Tie's long-term elder status from their hearts. To be honest, even if Zhang Tie completed the wheel-turning ceremony and was promoted to the elders of the family clan, in the hearts of the elders, Zhang Tie would be equal to himself at such a young age, and they still had some ideas. Seeing people's hearts, Zhang Tie's achievements in the years when he stayed in the Weiyi subcontinent can be said to have completely established his position in the Huaiyuan Hall.

"Elder Master Mu Shen later returned to the Hawaiian subcontinent. I heard that the Hawaiian subcontinent had been turned into a jeopardy by the black-robed knight Golas. How about the specific situation? Can Elder Master Mu Shen tell us? Say!" As soon as the elder Mu Yuan opened his mouth, the eyes of the three elders focused on Zhang Tie again.

After a little deliberation in his mind, Zhang Tie revealed all the information he had learned about the Hawaiian subcontinent in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland.

Hearing that such a change had happened in the Weiyi subcontinent, Elder Mu Yuan remained silent, Elder Mu An heaved a sigh of relief, Elder Mu Yu heaved a long sigh, each with different feelings and thoughts.

Just after Zhang Tie finished speaking, there was a movement of light and shadow outside the hall, and a familiar aura came, and the elder Murray and the elder Mu En had walked in together...
