Volume 42 Chapter 6

As soon as Zhang Su brought Lord Duzai and Gao Tianqi to the lake, the steel-hulled boat that was speeding on the lake turned a corner in the lake before approaching, and drove towards the lake.

The boat sailed to the shore, and the true face of the boat was revealed. It was not an ordinary boat. The boat did not have oars, nor impellers for manual and foot pedaling. In the stern of the ship, there are two engines that drive the propeller blades side by side. Most of the engine is exposed at the stern, covered by a beautiful white iron shell, which looks very beautiful. The engine has no boiler and no chimney. It is not as big as a steam engine. It is not steam powered, but a candle oil engine. The steel hull boat is beautiful and smooth, more than ten meters long, with white paint. This is no longer a boat, but a speedboat. It is faster than steam powered. The speedboat is many times faster, and it is like flying in the water and mountains...

When the speedboat reached the pier by the lake, its speed slowed down suddenly. Zhang Tie, who was in charge of the rudder of the boat, jumped out of the boat first, and then two people followed Zhang Tie to the shore. , are Zhang Tie's children.

More than a dozen people just happened to fill the speedboat to the brim.

"Go, go find your mother, go eat some fruit, father has a guest, and I will take you to play tomorrow!" With a smile on his face, Zhang Tie touched the heads of a few little guys around him, and pointed On the other side of the gazebo, a group of little guys who landed on the shore were also sensible, chattering all of a sudden, and ran towards the gazebo happily.

On the other side of the gazebo are Mrs. Olina, Aurora, Sabrina, Linda, Beverly, Aimei and Aixue. Almost all of Zhang Tie's women are here except Bai Suxian. After a period of time in Taixia, Olina and Linda from the ice and snow wasteland got acquainted with each other and got along well.

The children ran over, and Olina and the others over there looked at the people brought by Zhang Tie and Zhang Su, and took their children to a villa by the lake, leaving it to Zhang Tie.

"Old Zhou, how about 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 at Xuanyuan Hill last year. After the new year, Zhang Tie became more and more famous in Taixia. Even Lao Zhou who was far away at Xuanyuan Hill heard about it. After some preparations, Lao Zhou simply took one of his sons to Zhulongling in an airship, hoping to see the unique business on the Jinshui River that Zhang Tie promised him at the beginning, and let him try to become a rich man. Urn's words are not true. This is an opportunity to change the fate of the family, and Lao Zhou naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Lao Zhou, who came to Zhulongling, wandered alone for two days, and then touched the Tielongzong residence. After taking out the fingerprinted gold coin that Zhang Tie gave him at the beginning, he was brought here to meet Zhang Tie. iron.

Just now, Zhang Tie asked Lao Zhou and his son who came here to get on the speedboat, and personally drove the speedboat with the two of them around the lake, allowing them to feel the speed of the speedboat on the water.

"This... this speedboat... is for me..." Lao Zhou was full of excitement, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Of course this speedboat is not for you!"

Lao Zhou's face froze suddenly, but Zhang Tie smiled slightly, "This speedboat has been here for a while, and it's not new. If you want to go back to Xuanyuan Hill, of course you have 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 Zhulongling to learn how to repair these candle oil engines. When the speedboat arrives at Xuanyuan Hill,

On the Jinshui River, this is your unique business. It costs 20 gold coins to take a speedboat tour of the Jinshui River by yourself. If you pull ten people in a boat, you can easily earn hundreds of gold coins a day. If anyone wants to rent it, You only charge him one or two thousand gold coins a day, and the speedboat business on the Jinshui River will be handed over to your family in the future. Any speedboat that burns candle oil cannot compete with you on the Jinshui River. Let him have no oil to use. For candle oil, you should first find a storage place in Xuanyuan Hill and get a few oil storage tanks. I will send you dozens of tons every year. After that, Xuanyuan Hill will be able to buy candle oil. You can shop nearby…”

Dozens of gold coins for a boat trip on the Jinshui River, this kind of thing, put it in other places, is completely unimaginable and extravagant to ordinary people, but in Xuanyuan Hill, where the rich and powerful gather, the rich are like The place where the rain does not regard gold coins as money, as long as it is such a unique novelty, let alone dozens of gold coins, even if it is hundreds of gold coins once, there are a lot of people who don’t care, and want to try what it is to gallop on the Jinshui River Feel.

If Zhang Tie can control the candle oil, he can control this business.

Old Zhou's eyes were red, and without further ado, he dragged his son to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang Tie. This business will definitely revitalize their Zhou family. How can we express our gratitude for such a great kindness without kowtow.

Zhang Tie hurriedly pulled Lao Zhou and his son up, "Lao Zhou, don't do this, you and I meet, it is fate, your business, just advertise my candle oil in Xuanyuan Hill, it's still I took advantage of you..."

Old Zhou sighed and wiped away his tears, "The real person said this to comfort me. I came to Zhulongling in the past few days. Xuantian City and Iron Dragon Sect are full of people. Those wealthy families in Taixia want to see the real person. There are many people queuing up and can't find a place. This kind of business is placed on Xuanyuan Hill, and every day is bright and upright, and the sun is making money. Don't say that I am just a boatman on the Jinshui River. I don’t know how many high-ranking officials want such a business but can’t get it. The real person is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If I don’t even know this, I will live like a dog in my whole life. I know The real person is not short of gold or silver, and I, Lao Zhou, have nothing to repay the real person. I hope that if the real person returns to Xuanyuan Hill one day, my old Zhou still has the strength to steer the boat for the real person at that time. Shake the oatmeal, and let the mother-in-law prepare a pot of peach blossom wine for the real person, and let the real person take a refreshing swim on the Jinshui River..."

"Okay, then it's a deal. Next time I go to Xuanyuan Hill, I must go to the Jinshui River to taste the peach blossom wine from your family!"

Old Zhou nodded heavily.

Zhang Tie said a few words to Old Zhou Wenyan, and then called to an attendant next to him, asking the attendant to take Lao Zhou and his son down. Now that Zhang Tie has explained the following matters, someone below will naturally take care of them.

After seeing off Lao Zhou, Zhang Tie walked directly to Lord Duzai who was standing not far away.

Mr. Du Zai and Gao Tianqi naturally heard what Zhang Tie said just now. Both of them are smart people with clear thoughts. From these words, both of them can probably guess the cause and effect of Zhang Tie's relationship with Lao Zhou. Personally, I never expected to see Zhang Tie and a trafficker like Lao Zhou being able to communicate so frankly here, as long as he promised, and seeing Zhang Tie approaching, the governor and Gao Tianqi looked at Zhang Tie with strange eyes.

"Lord Superintendent, Brother Tianqi, long time no see..." Zhang Tie came over with a faint smile on his face, greeted Lord Superintendent Yu Gao Tianqi, and then nodded to Zhang Su. You're welcome.

Zhang Tie's address to the two people has not changed much compared to before. How Zhang Tie called the two people in the past is still how to call the two people now, but the two people being called have completely different moods at this time.

At this time, Gao Tianqi did not dare to use the word "brother" in Zhang Tie's mouth anymore. Hearing Zhang Tie address him in this way, Du Cao, the subordinate of the Governor's Mansion, hurriedly bowed to Zhang Tie. From Zhang Tie's address, Gao Tianqi felt It is still Zhang Tie's respect for himself, and this respect has not changed with the change of Zhang Tie's current status. Hearing the words "Brother Tianqi" in his ears makes people feel inexplicably comfortable and kind. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a spring breeze.

As for Master Du Zai, this is the third time he has seen Zhang Tie. Compared with the previous two times, although Zhang Tie still respects him, in the same title, he looks up a little less and looks up more. A feeling of being equal. If it is an ordinary earth knight, in Cheng Honglie's opinion, such an attitude is close to unruly, but just after watching Zhang Tie's relationship with the boatman "Old Zhou", Lord Duzai has nothing to say, and there is nothing to say. Dissatisfied, I just suddenly thought of a sentence in my heart-a gentleman is like jade, firm but not obvious, moist but not demonic, flashy but not scorching.

Looking at Zhang Tie's youthful face that seemed to have never changed, Mr. Duzai suddenly understood that the Zhang Tie who walked over was still Zhang Tie, but he was no longer the Zhang Tie from before, but the real person who had become famous all over the world. .

Being able to make a heavy bet on Zhang Tie early on, those old-fashioned eyes of Tianjimen really make people have to be convinced.

"If I appoint you as Minister of Agriculture of the Northeast Governor's Mansion now, I wonder if it's still too late?" The words of Lord Duzai were like a giant axe, and they fell down without anyone reacting at all.

Hearing this, Zhang Su who was on the side couldn't help but his heart thumped a few times. Minister Si Nong is the right-hand man who is in charge of the economic affairs of a governor's government. In terms of power theory, the status is one level higher than that of the governors of the states.

Zhang Tie was slightly taken aback, and then smiled wryly, "If the governor can let Meng Shidao go home, I can consider this suggestion. If the governor can't, you let me be an official, that's not poaching." Shall I jump into the pit?"

The Governor sighed a long time. The news of Xuanyuan Hill was implicated in Han Zhengfang's case. The Great Situ was about to retire, and it was Meng Shidao who took over the position of the Great Situ. Zhiqiu's prestige is like the sky, and the crown prince relies heavily on it. Who in the world can move it?

Master Duzai shook his head, "It's my first time to visit Zhulongling, so you can walk around with me..."

"it is good!"

As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, Lord Duzai flew up into the air like lightning, Zhang Tie himself also rose into the air, followed closely, and then Gao Tianqi also flew up.

"Where does the governor want to see?"

"If you don't want to hide your secrets, I'd like to go and see the place where you produce candle oil bombs first..." Lord Duzai's eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie.

"This..." Zhang Tie scratched his head.

Du Zai stared at him, his body was full of power, his face was black, and he looked at Zhang Tie with a vicious look, "If you don't take me to see it, and dare to hide your secrets, I will demolish your bird dragon sect today!" In the future, if you build one, I will tear down another, and see where you put the face of the suzerain in front of his disciples. Don't think I dare not, as long as I suspect that there are remnants of the Tongtian Sect hiding there, I can turn everything upside down. , the imperial court and Tai Xialu can't touch a single hair of my hair!"

I rely on!

Looking at Lord Duzai in front of him, Zhang Tie was dumbfounded, only then did he realize that Lord Duzai is simply the best of the veterans in some respects.

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't speak, Master Duzai said to Gao Tianqi directly with a straight face, "Issue a transfer order to send me the engineer corps of the Governor's Mansion to transfer two 500,000 troops to me, and say that I am leading Xuantian in Zhulong Near the Eighteenth Peaks, traces of the Tongtian Sect’s remnants were found hiding, and asked the Engineer Corps to dig up the entire Xuantian Eighteenth Peaks for me to see..."

Gao Tianqi's face twitched, he glanced at Zhang Tie, and then silently, a remote sensing communication device used by the Taixia military appeared in his hand...

"Okay, Master Du Zai, this time I owe you for drinking your dragon marrow wine. If you want to see it, I will take you to see it..." Zhang Tie quickly raised his hands in surrender... (To be continued continued. "")
