After being told that it was a tradition in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie didn't insist on it anymore; instead, he started his selection on the list of characters conscientiously .
There were too many regulations on establishing a clan and a shrine palace in Taixia Country . As 875 of totally over 3,000 characters had been selected by Zhang clans across the country, after deducting those strange and unfortunate words which couldn't be used in names, there were only hundreds of characters left available on the list .
After looking at it for a short while, Zhang Tie fixed his eyes on one character unconsciously——"Pu"
Hua culture was extensive and profound . Each Hua character was of great meaning . Unconsciously, Zhang Tie was attracted by this character . Being composed of a radical which meant person on the left and a character denoting prediction on the right, this character carried deep meaning . Zhang Tie implicitly felt that he had seen this character somewhere .
"Elder brother, how about the character 'Pu' . . . " Zhang Tie asked as he circled the character "Pu" with a pen before returning the list to Zhang Yang .
"Pu?" Zhang Yang was shocked by Zhang Tie's decision as it was too unusual . However, he accepted it soon as he said, "Great, let's take the character 'Pu'!"
After exchanging a glance with each other, all the others at present considered about the meaning of the character as they nodded in unison .
If so, the official names of all the knights in Zhang's Jinwu Palace would be Zhang PuX, including Zhang Yang, Zhang Su, even Zhang's junior knights .
Therefore, the character "Pu" became exclusive to all the knights of Jinwu Palace . As for the official name of Zhang Mushen, even though Zhang Tie had denounced Huaiyuan Palace by writing a letter with blood, he didn't mean to change it .
Zhang Yang then told Zhang Tie about the land purchase .
This trade went smoothly . Only after one day later since Zhang Yang visited the Land Resources Mansion of Youzhou Province, he had received the notice that the relevant proceedings would be handled in 5 days .
It took Jinwu Business Group more than 440 million gold coins in purchasing over 2,300 square miles' land in Youzhou Province . After linking with the territory of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Jinwu City, the total land area of Jinwu Palace would cover over 3,000 square miles, which was almost half of the land area of Youzhou Province .
Because Jinwu Business Group was shared by Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, of course, this land belonged to their common assets .
After reaching agreements on these issues, they would wait for 7 days . After the land purchase proceedings were completed, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang would officially establish a new clan and a shrine palace and distribute the notice to the other Zhang clans across the country . With the establishment of Zhang's Jinwu Palace, the two brothers welcomed a wholly new, brilliant start .
Since the beginning, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had not grown up in Huaiyuan Palace and were always incongruous with Huaiyuan Palace . After denouncing Huaiyuan Palace, the two brothers finally got rid of all the bonds from Huaiyuan Palace and could develop their own clan and undertakings .
Zhang Yang was fully ambitious about the future . Zhang Tie also had a complex feeling . When the two brothers were in Blackhot City, they could never imagine establishing an unrivaled clan and shrine palace in Taixia Country .
"There's one more thing that I'd like to negotiate with you . . . " Zhang Tie opened his mouth after his elder brother .
"Go ahead . "
"I've traveled around Tongzhou Province these days . The bloody figures in the province have basically been pacified; however, the damages and influence caused by bloody figures could barely be eliminated in a short period . Many cities had sparse populations; more people lost their homes and family members in the disaster . Orphans and single parents who had lost their children could be seen everywhere . Although the official mansions across the country have been spearheading their efforts to eliminate the aftermath, due to the large scale of population and area being affected, the rising prices of grains across the country and the fight in the western theater of operations, many disaster-stricken places couldn't be attended well, many survivors were still struggling for food . I cannot even describe how hard their lives are!"
Zhang Tie said as he threw a glance at the others, who were all listening to him conscientiously .
These days, Zhang Tie had been looking for that child of him and Ma Aiyun in Tongzhou Province . Although he failed to find him, he had deepened in the grassroots and genuinely sensed the severe damages of the bloody figures and the miserable lives of grassroots after the disaster .
Flying Cloud City was fine as it was circled by city walls . By contrast, many places outside the city were severely damaged by rampant bloody figures . Many villages and towns had completely turned into ruins . In many places, no people but herds of stray dogs could be seen within one hundred miles . Skeletons could be seen everywhere across the wilderness, woods, riverside and beaches . Not until now had not the damages been mended and the survivors been attended well .
Those survivors, especially those underprivileged who had lost their family members were most pitiful as none of them had the ability to look for food; instead, they could only rely on relief . It's hard to say that .
"After reviewing those places being afflicted by bloody figures in Tongzhou Province, I'm afraid that the other places across the country are similar to them . Therefore, I've got an idea——I prepare to build Jinwu branches in those places afflicted by bloody figures across the country!"
"Jinwu Branches?"
"Right, I mean Jinwu orphanage which is especially used to raise orphans who lost their family members in the disaster . Meanwhile, it is a college where those orphans could learn various abilities to survive themselves . When they grow up, those who are talented in cultivation could be enrolled by Iron-Dragon Sect . Those with the other talents could enter Jinwu Business Group or the Fiery-Oil Bases across the country . If they wish, they could even become a member of Jinwu Palace and have families, lest they're alone in the world . . . "
Zhang Tie said as Mountain Lifting Hermit, Lu Zhongming, Lin Huanxi and Zhang Tie's wives' eyes shone .
Mountain Lifting Hermit nodded, saying, "I agree . It's a benevolence for the future of orphans . In this way, Iron-Dragon Sect's influence would be further expanded . In the future, we might be able to break Northeast Military Region . . . "
"Jinwu branches could be administered by disciples above LV 9 from Iron-Dragon Sect as coaches and masters . Through imparting knowledge to those orphans, they could also improve their own knowledge and skills . In the future, this task could be taken as a compulsory one in our clan for disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect!" Lu Zhongming said as he nodded . . .
