Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

At this moment, the head of the Tang Clan was thinking that maybe the Tang Clan would continue to make a living by killing people, or maybe they would do other businesses...

But no matter what, the thousand-year-old foundation of his ancestors cannot be broken, and he must provide a foundation for the Tang Clan.

If a large factory like Tiantong Steel Plant, which benefits both the country and the people, had not been destroyed, it would definitely continue to exist. Relying on this big tree, even if business is not doing well one day, it will not fall apart.

This is equivalent to finding a stable job for all the Tang Sect members.

All they have to do is to protect the bowl from being smashed.

In fact, if this bowl was in Guangzhou or other places, he would not do so, but this bowl is right at his doorstep and he can see it at a glance.

Earlier, he said that all the snobs were coveting this piece of cake, so why wasn't he coveting it too? Wanting to get a piece of it?!
But he claims to be different from those people.

Those people wanted to get something for nothing, but he, the Tang Clan, could not only provide real money, but also contribute his efforts at the cost of his own life.

Even though Patriarch Tang felt that Zhang Zhiwei had no reason to refuse this win-win cooperation, he still felt a little nervous before getting a reply.

"Master Tang is really far-sighted!"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled, and he inexplicably thought of the Tang Sect in later generations.

Who could have imagined that the now notorious Tang Sect, which is like the Senluo Palace, would actually transform into a school for teaching and educating people in later generations?
Sect Master Tang was an extremely wise man, so Zhang Zhiwei did not try to make empty promises or say anything fancy about the future. He just extended his hand and said:

"With the help of Tang Menzhang, I feel relieved about this factory. Regarding the shareholding, Tang Menzhang, please go and talk to Wang Ai."

The head of the Tang clan smiled and reached out to hold Zhang Zhiwei's hand tightly.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of the little celestial master."

Both of them were decisive and swift in their personalities. Without much greeting, Sect Leader Tang got up and left. He went to Wang Ai's office and talked with Wang Ai for a while. After they agreed on some matters, he disappeared from the steel mill in a flash.

As an assassin who came and went without a trace, only Zhang Zhiwei and Wang Ai knew about Chief Tang's visit in the entire steel plant. Even Zhang Huaiyi did not notice his arrival.

After Sect Leader Tang left, Wang Ai hurried over to report what had happened.

"Brother Zhang, Sect Leader Tang has gone back to raise money. How much of his shares do you think we should sell?"

"Since it is a business matter, let's follow business regulations. You can decide the details," said Zhang Zhiwei.

Wang Ai nodded: "By the way, since Senior Brother Zhang agreed to Tangmen buying shares in the steel mill, can we also sell them to other people? The steel mill has been under a lot of pressure recently. For the sake of subsequent development, I plan to release some of it appropriately."

"You are the one running the business. You can do whatever you want as long as you maintain absolute control over the factory," said Zhang Zhiwei.

Wang Ai nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, I understand. I will discuss this matter with my team."

The Tiantong Church has grown into a huge organization. It is impossible for Wang Ai to manage it alone.

What's more, he is the archbishop of the church and has many church activities to participate in.

To ease the burden, he recruited a large think tank to advise him, manage the company, etc.

Zhang Zhiwei was not concerned about the specific management details. After seeing off Sect Leader Tang, he planned to return to Longhu Mountain.

He had been going through wind and rain for the past few months without stopping, and had preached for several days and nights. Even Zhang Zhiwei felt a little tired, and he wanted to go back and meditate for a while.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci did not go with them. Lujia Village and Lu Family also contributed people to the flood relief efforts. The leader of Lujia Village was Lu Ren, and the leader of Lu Family was Lu Jin's cousin.

After the incident, the two returned with their families.

In the past few years, one of them has lived in Longhu Mountain for a long time, and the other has been running back and forth between Longhu Mountain and Sanyi Gate. They rarely go home, so this is a good opportunity for them to go back and get together, and make an appointment to go up the mountain together next time.

When leaving, Tian Jinzhong and a group of fellow disciples who had gone down the mountain to fight the flood went to see Lu Ci off. They walked for a long distance, looking reluctant to leave, which made Lu Ci almost not want to leave.

Watching Lu Ci's back disappear, a group of fellow disciples sighed. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Now that the crazy devil of digging the ground has left, they will have to dig the ground every day after returning to the mountain.

……

……

There is a ship parked on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Zhiwei gathered many of his fellow disciples and planned to return to Longhu Mountain by water.

There are quite a lot of people coming this time. If I use my ability to transform into lightning to open a lightning channel and teleport back, it will be a bit of a burden.

Moreover, the fellow disciples have finally come down the mountain and have worked hard to fight floods and provide disaster relief for several months. Now they are going back, shouldn’t they relax a little?
Zhang Zhiwei asked Wang Ai to arrange a fully equipped luxury cruise ship to return to the mountain by water. While eating and drinking along the way, they could also enjoy the natural scenery along the way.

It was the first time for the brothers to ride on this kind of luxury cruise ship. They looked around and touched things on the boat, exclaiming from time to time and were curious about everything.

Soon, the cruise ship set sail, a gentle breeze blew, the Yangtze River flowed majestically, carrying with it the noisy city sounds of Chongqing and the shouts from the dock that slowly faded away.

During this journey, Zhang Zhiwei was quite leisurely. He moved a chair and sat on the deck, sipping the light green Longjing tea in his cup, looking ahead.

The Goddess Peak of Wushan Mountain looms in the twilight, like a flowing screen painting slowly unfolding...

The water route cannot reach the foot of Mount Longhu, so the destination of this trip is Jiujiang Wharf. Once there, everyone will get off the boat and then return to the mountain by speedy armor and horseback riding.

Zhang Huaiyi was among them. He had been down the mountain to gain experience for a while, and it was time for him to go back to the mountain for some time.

But halfway through the journey, Zhang Huaiyi suddenly changed his mind and told Zhang Zhiwei that he had important matters to deal with and needed to leave for a while. He would not go back to the mountain with them for the time being and would return after he had settled the matter.

Zhang Zhiwei asked about the specific reason, and Zhang Huaiyi said that a good friend he met during his training was in trouble and asked him to come over to help.

Zhang Zhiwei immediately became interested and asked if his senior brother was needed to come over to support the situation.

After Zhang Zhiwei said this, all his fellow disciples became interested and wanted to go and help out.

This scared Zhang Huaiyi. What would happen if so many people followed him?

"No need, no need!"

He immediately refused, saying that he could go by himself, it was just a small matter, if his senior brother stepped in, wouldn't it be like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito? !
His fellow disciples asked him what was going on.

Zhang Huaiyi only said that it was a private matter between friends, and he was not very clear about the details. Anyway, the friend he knew was not a big shot, so it was not a big deal. He asked everyone not to worry and that he would come back to talk to them after he had done the thing.

Seeing that Zhang Huaiyi didn't say anything, the group of fellow apprentices didn't ask him any more questions. They just gave him a few instructions and left him halfway. However, Tian Jinzhong was a little worried. After restarting the boat, he quietly went out and came back quietly after a long time.

The other brothers did not notice Tian Jinzhong's departure, but Zhang Zhiwei saw it. He thought Tian Jinzhong was going to follow Zhang Huaiyi, but he didn't expect that he would come back not long after.

The other fellow disciples seemed unaware of this. Zhang Zhiwei wanted to wait until there were fewer people around and then go find Tian Jinzhong to ask what was going on.

Tian Jinzhong ran to his room first and said anxiously:
"Brother...Brother, I have something to tell you."

"It's about Huaiyi, right? Please tell me slowly." Zhang Zhiwei said.

Tian Jinzhong pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said:

"I just caught up with Huaiyi and asked him what happened. Huaiyi hesitated and told me that he made some good friends who shared the same ideals while traveling around the world."

"Not long ago, a few good friends contacted him and wanted him to go north to fight against the Japanese pirates."

"Huai Yi felt that since you, my brother, had been there before and had blown up the railway company there and killed a large number of Japanese pirates, which became a legend in the martial arts world, it was a pity that he could not join you. So this time when his friend invited him, he gladly accepted the invitation."

"The reason why he didn't tell us is that he didn't want to involve us. He also said that it was just like when you went down the mountain that time, you didn't tell us fellow disciples."

"I see."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, but he felt something was wrong. He himself did not go to the Northeast, and with Huaiyi's personality, he should not go. But he went anyway. Who had such an important influence that could move him?

"Brother, you went to the northeast to fight against the Japanese pirates because of the battle for the dragon vein. Now the Japanese pirates have invaded. What are you waiting for?"

Tian Jinzhong said eagerly: "Why don't we go too, take all the brothers with us, drive out the pirates, do some great things, and make a name for ourselves!"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Tian Jinzhong who looked excited, and said unhappily: "If you want to go so much, why didn't you go with Huaiyi just now?"

Tian Jinzhong scratched his head and said, "Actually, I proposed it, but Huaiyi felt that it was very dangerous for the people of our Tianshi Mansion."

"He said that the hatred you caused there was too deep. Once the Japanese pirates knew that someone from our Tianshi Mansion was there, they would definitely retaliate crazily."

"And he has limited means, he can only protect himself. If something happens, he may not have time to take care of me. If I get into trouble there, he will regret it for the rest of his life. If I insist on going with him, he would rather not go."

"Now that things have come to this, I can't shamelessly continue to go."

Speaking of this, Tian Jinzhong felt a little depressed. He had never felt deeply about his own strength, nor did he feel that he would be a burden.

After all, Longhu Mountain is still a pure land, and there are few times when you need to use some tricks.

Moreover, although his methods cannot be compared with those of Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi, he is still outstanding among his fellow disciples.

In addition, I have traveled all over the country with my senior brothers and have never encountered any major setbacks, so I have never felt a sense of urgency.

But today, he started to feel it, because he wanted to go on an adventure with Huaiyi, but was "disdained". Even though he knew Huaiyi was doing it for his own good, he still felt bad.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't know what Zhang Huaiyi was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Huaiyi is very thoughtful. He was right not to let you."

"Senior brother, Huaiyi can only protect himself, but it will be different if you go. Just take us there." Tian Jinzhong continued.

"No!" Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"Why?" Tian Jinzhong was puzzled: "I went last time, and the situation this time is even more critical than last time, why didn't you go?"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Because it doesn't make much sense to go now."

"Last time we went there, it was because the warlords there were still interested in fighting the Japanese pirates. Now the warlords there don't have that intention anymore. You can't expect us to fight against the army of a country, right?"

Hearing this, Tian Jinzhong was a little discouraged: "If that's the case, then there's no point in Huaiyi going there. Should I go and call him back?"

"That's not necessary!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "I'm not going because I'm too big and it's meaningless to go there. It's still meaningful for Huaiyi to go there."

"Although there are no large-scale battles there, small-scale guerrilla warfare has always existed. It would be okay to go there to gain some experience, help the guerrillas, and kill some pirates?"

Zhang Zhiwei said this not to brag, but to tell the truth. With his current influence, if he really went there to fight guerrilla warfare, he would be afraid that the Japanese pirates would mobilize all the foreign forces in the country to attack him from all sides, both openly and covertly.

Faced with such a blow, he might not mention it in advance, but it might bring a devastating disaster to some of the scattered anti-Japanese heroes there.

This is somewhat of a loss.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation there is no longer something that can be turned around by one person or a small group. It requires the entire nation to work together and pull together.

However, now that the country is at a critical juncture of life and death, some people are turning a blind eye, either eliminating dissidents or conserving their strength...

What was he doing in that horrible state?
There is a saying that goes, there is never a moment in this world that stands still, the sum of individual changes is the change of the entire world, but the degree of influence of individuals on the world is different, some people work hard but cannot create any waves, while others can turn the world upside down with just a single thought.

Zhang Zhiwei is not a fool who has no idea of ​​his own situation.

His current weight is enough to turn the world upside down.

If he used his reputation to gather masters from the alien world and went outside the Great Wall to deal with the Japanese pirates, what might be the consequences?
When the warlords inside the Great Wall saw this, they immediately sent troops to support and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese pirates.

Or should we watch him fight to the death outside the Great Wall to resist foreign enemies, and quickly increase his strength to eliminate dissidents?

The probability of the former is too small.

The latter is too likely.

If you really do this, you will end up doing more harm than good.

Therefore, before the overall situation was settled and national unity was achieved, Zhang Zhiwei did not want to start a war.

He must be cautious in every move he makes, and what he should do most now is to stabilize the basic situation.

For example, doing some things that benefit the country and the people, such as flood prevention and disaster relief, and building steel mills. Steel is the backbone of industry, and oil is the blood of industry.

Without steel, we can’t even make cold weapons, let alone anything else.

The current national steel production is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty. In a few years, it will not even be as good as that of the Han Dynasty. What can be achieved?

What he did did not have much impact on the current situation, but when it starts to develop in the future, it will be a huge fortune. (End of this chapter)
