Chapter 1720: Zhang Tie’s Considerations
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie only slept a few hours last night.
It was 5 months ago when Huang Baimei, Leng Manxue and Liu brothers paid a visit to Dragon Emperor Pavilion.
It was Zhang Tie’s busiest period in the past half a year. During this period, besides handling public affairs, he didn’t even have time to cultivate.
Last night, he received batches of branch heads and immortal generals who came to Dragon Emperor City for work report in Dragon Emperor Pavilion. He didn’t go to bed until 2 am.
However, at about 6 am, before daybreak, Zhang Tie had gotten up. After taking imperial breakfast, he started to handle public affairs in Dragon Emperor Pavilion again.
As for breakfast, commoners would only eat some fried oil stick doughs, rice porridge, noodles or steamed buns. However, Zhang Tie’s breakfast contained dozens of kinds of porridge. A lot of people were helping him eat it, making it pretty ceremonial. Even though Zhang Tie felt it was unnecessary to be that grand, he had to accept it. Because this was the life style of Dragon Emperor. Now that he chose to play this role, he should accept everything about this role. Even though Zhang Tie wanted to be a bit simpler, those immortal generals and followers would not allow that to happen; because that was how Dragon Emperor should be in the eyes of those immortal generals. If he lived in a plain and hardworking way or would like to be more intimate to the subordinates, he would definitely make his subordinates flurried as they would think that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was deteriorating or there was something wrong with Dragon Emperor.
Zhang Tie had long figured it out when in Fiery Dragon Bounty Territory. Therefore, he didn’t feel like struggling after being Dragon Emperor. Just let nature take its course.
Since Zhang Tie became Dragon Emperor, the reports from all the affiliated regions had been arriving like snowflakes. Before Qianji Agency was officially on the track, Dragon Emperor was absolutely not an easy job.
Especially in the late period of time, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was going to rejuvenate as many problems needed to be solved. As the new Dragon Emperor, Zhang Tie was running around the clock every day. Perhaps the others didn’t believe in that. However, Zhang Tie indeed had not left Dragon Emperor Pavilion for over 2 months. In the past period of time, the immortal generals who came to meet Zhang Tie had to queue up for 7 days before entering Dragon Emperor Pavilion.
Although being pretty busy lately, Zhang Tie felt pretty fulfilled; because Zhang Tie knew that it was a necessary step for him to be a qualified Dragon Emperor.
If he didn’t want to be a deputy Dragon Emperor, he had to do something himself so as to build his own power and influence in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. He couldn’t be indolent at this time.
On the second day since Liu brothers left Dragon Emperor Pavilion, they had become the municipal commanders-in-chief of Dragon Emperor City and were responsible for the safety of the city. With the assistance of Xu Gang, Liu brothers completely became the patron of people from all walks of life in Dragon Emperor City, not to mention that this position was almost closely related to each commoner’s daily life in Dragon Emperor City.
Although Liu brothers’ positions looked not that powerful; especially that they didn’t have too many subordinate immortal generals, even the officers below them were just immortal soldiers, Zhang Tie thought their position was as important as the high officials in Supervision Department.
In Kun’ang Continent or Motian Realm, commoners accounted for most of the population; instead of knights or immortal generals. As long as they controlled most of the people, they would control great power.
Over the past 5 months, Liu brothers were pretty successful as the municipal commanders-in-chief of Dragon Emperor City. They gradually tasted the benefits of this position and gradually increased their control over the city. With the help of Liu brothers, Zhang Tie could almost know everything in Dragon Emperor City, big or small.
Similarly, over the same period of time, as the general manager of Forbidden City, Leng Manxue had been responsible for the building of the entire Forbidden City from its scratch. Within 4 months, with the coordination of Earth-Treasures Department and Heavenly Craftsmen Department, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace mobilized 50,000 workers from the other places. As a result, the power center of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was taking shape at the fastest speed in the north of Dragon Emperor City. It was almost completed.
Huang Baimei had officially started to found Dragon’s Teeth Army by mobilizing over 1,000 immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. They resided in a mountain village beside Forbidden City for the time being. These days, Dragon’s Teeth Army had started their training in big formations.
80% of the immortal generals in Dragon’s Teeth Army were those who joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace last year together with Zhang Tie. The rest 20% had long joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. After joining Dragon’s Teeth Army, they would be paid at least 20 element crystals a month. Therefore, many immortal generals were attracted to join them. As a result, the plan that the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t implement due to different opinions gradually came true in Zhang Tie’s hand.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin also gradually adapted to the new positions in Earth-Treasures Department. Like how he was familiar with Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie gradually got hang of major flow of properties of Earth-Treasures Department.
Through multiple channels, Zhang Tie gradually operated the entire Dragon Emperor City in the past months.
By operating Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie could firmly control Dragon Emperor Big Domain and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even though there were some problems in other places of Dragon Emperor Big Domain more or less, they couldn’t influence Zhang Tie’s control over the overall situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace anymore.
After receiving so many immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie’s authority in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was gradually accepted by the rest of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Furthermore, by promoting some talented ones, Zhang Tie further stabilized his rule.
While being busy endlessly, it soon came to June, the 3584th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa in Motian Realm…
…
In June, the entire Dragon Emperor Pavilion was like a garden as it was covered with fragrant colorful flowers.
After receiving the branch heads and suzerains from some cities in the north of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, before Zhang Tie took his lunch, precisely imperial lunch, he had been blocked in the Heavenly Safe Building by Guan Minjun the new president of Earth-Treasures Department, followed by Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.
As a woman, Guan Minjun was once the deputy president of Earth-Treasures Department, also one of the trusted subordinates of Elder Luo Yunshang the former president of Earth-Treasures Department. In the past months, when Zhang Tie was busy, all the seven elders including Luo Yunshang were asked to enter secluded cultivation by Zhang Tie for the time being. Meanwhile, he appointed other people to be the presidents of the five major departments in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…
