The Great Seminary

Chapter 18 Ignorance of Current Affairs
The nobleman Zhang Qitong and the downtrodden Zhang Gui were chatting about confusing and nonsense.

Zhang Gui was really confused and could only follow his boss's lead and said:

“Yes, yes.

The adults are right.

Besides, although I am a concubine's son, my surname is Zhang, so no matter how close I am to my uncle from the Stone Corpse Tribe, I am only an outer relative."

Zhang Qitong said nothing when he heard this, but just nodded slightly.

An old man in scholar's robes appeared from behind him and said passionately:
"Everyone, please manage.

Lord Qi Tong came to the Giant Snake Head Island this time to take charge, not only to promote Kuroki Town to be a branch of the business.

We also need to expand the family and establish a branch and name."

When aristocratic families set up halls and names, it was equivalent to a country dividing its borders.

Although it was still more or less under the control of the clan leader, it was, after all, a separate branch with completely different autonomy.

Zhang Gui immediately understood why Zhang Qitong, the beloved son of the Zhang family head in Pingyang, had come to such a haunted place as Waiyeyang.

Then I heard the old man continue to speak passionately:

“This kind of event hasn’t happened in a century!
Even though Lord Qi Tong is a genius, he still needs tremendous help to succeed.

Therefore, the master also gave away a precious and extremely rare ancient artifact, the 'Heavenly Creations', and brought it to Wai Yeyang."

According to Zhang Gui's understanding, a strange object is an extremely advanced tool.

It was created by the continent's top craftsmen, or even gods, and possesses all kinds of incredible abilities.

For example, The Exploitation of the Works of Nature.

Legend has it that it was made by Song Yingxing, a master craftsman of epoch-making machinery from Dongshengzhou 384 years ago.

The total number of Tiangang released is thirty-six.

Legend has it that it looks like a brass metal box one foot square.

Open the box and place it on the ground.

Place ore or metal into the box.

Cover the box again and it will take root in place.

Unless the imperial decree is issued and the power of the dragon vein is flushed and restarted, it will never be able to move again.

At this time, continue to put ore into the box.

Close the lid and the box will automatically smelt the ore into metal.

The metal is cast into parts, which perfect themselves until it becomes a vast automated workshop.

Able to make weapons and various utensils;
Hulling of crops such as rice, wheat, hemp, beans, etc.
Deep processing of cash crops such as mulberry, cotton, and kudzu;
Flowers with high pigment concentrations are made into dyes;

firing clay into ceramics;
Using seawater to make salt;

Make wine from cassava. In short, with this in hand, there is nothing else to ask for.

This economic wonder is priceless.

It was extremely difficult to get it given the Pingyang Zhang family's background, but I was extremely lucky to get it.

Now it is being used to develop the Giant Serpent Head Island. This move not only shocked people's hearts.

It also creates a grand atmosphere of changing times, new people opening up new patterns, and building new foundations for new businesses.

Seeing the group of dumbfounded losers around him, the old man curled his lips in disbelief and continued to talk nonsense:

“Now everything is ready, only east wind is missing.

All of you stewards are veterans of Blackwood Town. Tomorrow, please come to the master and ask for his services. Help him familiarize himself with the situation of the toothless beast and establish himself on the right foot.

In this way, everyone will be a hero who founded the clan, and their status will be different, and their future will be bright."

The words sound high-sounding, but in fact they just want the manager of Kuroki Town to betray the old leader and follow the new boss.

The request was a bit excessive, but in fact, since Zhang Yan had already taken over the position of "Foreign Affairs Elder" of the Pingyang Zhang family, he was just staying in Luan Ya and refused to leave.

It is normal for the middle-level minions under his command to scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, and each of them only cares about himself.

Anyway, after Kuroki Town establishes a new hall name, all personnel will be operated independently, and even if Zhang Yan becomes the head of the external affairs department, he will not be able to have much influence.

It’s the time and the situation.

Accepting the new boss's call now was undoubtedly the right decision. While it was hard to say for other managers, Zhang Gui knew that something was amiss.

From the previous boss Zhang Yan's methods, he must have known Zhang Qitong's purpose of coming to Luan Ya, and it was obviously unreasonable for him to deliberately make things difficult for him.

There must be reasons that are difficult for others to guess, so it is better to be cautious.

Then he bowed deeply and said:

"Sir, I am just a small steward and cannot bear the wind and rain.

What you see as a small splash of water could drown me if it lands on my head, so I just follow the rules."

According to the rules, Zhang Qitong and Zhang Yan naturally completed the handover and moved into the Heimu Town Office.

Only when you become a director in the main hall can you give orders to the steward of Kuroki Town.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Gui didn't dare to look up and could only endure it.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice tinged with anger was heard, "In that case, you can get off."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui continued to bow deeply and stepped back out of the tent.

It was a dark and windy night outside, and the air was cool.

Zhang Guichang breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly out of the camp.

I accidentally saw a few armored soldiers leading red horses flash by on the side road.

These soldiers are obviously veterans of the battlefield, and they look like heavily armored cavalry.

Although the number is small, the dark patterns printed on the armor are shocking. They are the "river pattern" of the regular army of the imperial court.

"What do you mean, there's someone in the Ministry of War or there's a big boss behind them supporting you, right?

They are not ordinary people!"

A thought flashed through Zhang Gui's mind, and his eyes, which had originally returned to normal, drooped again.

He quickened his pace and left the camp, disappearing into the darkness.

A strong wind suddenly blew up, dark clouds covered the entire sky, and a strong monsoon came from the sea.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Gui returned to the market office in the wind and rain.

The huge yard was empty.

He lit the stove in the main room, took off his soaking boots, and put his feet directly into the fire.

After being exposed to the strong sun for so many days, under the influence of one of the main god clusters, 'Crow Swallowing', the pale golden blood pumped out by another main god cluster, 'Water and Fire Together', has spread throughout his body.

Although no new 'Divine Cluster' was formed, the physical body was able to come into direct contact with the flames without any hindrance.

The flames in the stove could be vaguely seen turning into wisps of flames flowing into the pores.

After Zhang Gui finished roasting his body, he stood up and took out a small half plate of 'dried nut candy' and ate it all.

He then took thirty raw eggs and beat them in a large bowl, added three pounds of sesame oil and three pounds of sugar, and poured boiling water into them to make egg tea, which he drank in one breath.

After filling the big furnace with coke again and about to go to sleep, Zhang Gui suddenly felt a startle.

Kuroki Town is in his promised land, so it is normal for him to feel emotional from time to time.

I walked to the door and saw that it was raining heavily. Even though the situation was special, I really didn't want to go out, so I planned to go back and continue to warm myself by the fire and sleep.

Suddenly I felt frightened again.

This can't be tolerated.

Zhang Gui changed into rainproof oil silk clothes, opened the door and walked into the rain.

The rain was so heavy that the land seemed to have turned into an ocean. I even felt like I was choking on water when I breathed.

This gave Zhang Gui new inspiration.

Since Swallowing Crow allows him to eat fire with his skin, why can't Drinking River allow him to drink water with his skin?

Just do it if you think of it.

Zhang Gui returned to the house, lit the fire, took off all his clothes and jumped in.
