Volume Four, Volume 53, Chapter 17, Sharpening the Knife and Chopping Wood
"In the past few months, after His Majesty established the Dragon Tooth Army, the Dragon Tooth Army consumed more than 30,000 elemental crystals every month. I heard that the scale of the Dragon Tooth Army led by Huang Commander will be expanded to at least 2,000 people. Then
Since then, the Dragon Tooth Army alone has been consuming more than 50,000 elemental crystals every month, and it will be 600,000 in the next year!"
"The original total number of elemental crystals in the treasure house controlled by Dihoyuan was more than three hundred. When the Dragon King Temple was at its peak, the number of elemental crystals stored in each warehouse was one million. The elemental crystals in the Dragon King Temple were at their peak.
At that time, it had hundreds of millions of crystals, but now, after all these years, the crystal storage in the Dragon Emperor Temple has not been replenished. The storage of elemental crystals controlled by Dibaoyuan has already consumed most of them.
Only 28 of the elemental crystals stored in the Dihoyuan are still in use, and the total amount of elemental crystals stored in the Dihoyuan is already below 28 million, approaching the lowest warning line!"
"Now the total number of divine generals in the Dragon King Temple is 7885, and the monthly expenditure on various elemental crystals has reached nearly 100,000. Your Majesty wants to expand the plan of the Dragon Tooth Army. The number of elemental crystals Dibaoyuan spends every month will increase.
An increase of 20%, reaching more than 120,000 per month. This is adding insult to injury for the Dragon King Temple..."
"If the number of elemental crystals in the Dragon King Temple is not replenished, within the foreseeable next thirty years, the Dragon King Temple will collapse due to the lack of elemental crystals and the inability to condense the divine generals!"
"Thirty years have passed by in the blink of an eye. As the head of Dibaoyuan, I have the responsibility to give an early warning to His Majesty..."
In the meeting hall of Tian'an Building, Zhang Tie sat on the Dragon King's throne, tilting his head slightly, rubbing his face with his hands, while listening to Dibaoyuan's words, his eyes occasionally looking at the serious faces of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin
Take a look.
Opposite him, Guan Minjun, the dean of the Dibao Academy, was talking to Zhang Tie with a serious face and a clear voice about the "serious situation" currently facing the Dragon King Temple. The words of the dean of the Dibao Academy have three meanings:
The first is to say that Zhang Tie is spending a lot of money, the second is to talk about the current situation of the Dragon Emperor Temple, and the third is to warn that if there is no way, the Dragon Emperor Temple will soon be "bankrupt and liquidated"...
Decades are indeed not a long time for a temple in the world of skyscrapers.
As people promoted and trusted by Zhang Tie, the reason why Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were brought here by Guan Minjun today was simply to serve as "witnesses" to prove the current situation in Dibaoyuan.
When Guan Minjun was talking, the two women, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin, remained silent. Only when Guan Minjun mentioned some data, whenever Guan Minjun looked over, the two women nodded to prove that the director of Dibaoyuan
The words are true.
To be honest, there are almost no ugly women in the world of skyscrapers, especially the goddess generals, all of whom are above average in appearance. Guan Minjun is the water god general. Although I don’t know how old he really is, he looks like he is only in his forties.
He doesn't look old at all, and his figure is well maintained. It's the time when he's very charming. He has a slightly classic oval face with willow eyebrows, plus exquisite facial features and a smart and capable look. It looks like
It smells different and looks pleasing to the eye. What's even more special is that in addition to the color of her hair and skin, this woman's appearance and temperament, especially the aura of a smart and capable strong woman, actually look a bit like Olena...
…
When Guan Minjun was talking, even Zhang Tie couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Guan Minjun's words were indeed beyond Zhang Tie's expectation. Zhang Tie originally thought that the storage of elemental crystals in the Dragon Emperor Temple could support the Dragon Emperor Temple for at least a hundred years. Who would have thought that the real situation could only support it for thirty years?
I don't know what those elders who had gone into seclusion originally thought, actually daring to make a hundred-year contract with the new generals who joined the Dragon King Temple.
Maybe a few people had back-up plans, such as continuing to sell out the Dragon Emperor's city or population resources. What they considered at that time was just to hold on to the Dragon Emperor's temple in a short period of time and overcome the difficulties before their eyes.
But now they have dumped this mess on themselves together. Speaking of which, those old guys are really old bastards.
If I hadn't already had a countermeasure, and if I didn't want to stay in the Sky Realm for too long, someone else would definitely be stumped if he were to sit in his current position. If a temple does not have elemental crystals, it will lose its divine generals.
For support, when the time comes, don’t say that you are a disciple of the Dragon Emperor. Even if you are the master of the Dragon Emperor, it will be useless.
Looking at Guan Minjun who was talking, for a moment, Zhang Tie seemed to feel that he saw the shadow of Olina in this woman. Endless thoughts came to his heart, which made Zhang Tie feel slightly dazed...
…
"Your Majesty, did you hear what I just said..."
Guan Minjun's voice suddenly rose by two points, which made Zhang Tie wake up from his trance. Zhang Tie looked over and found that Guan Minjun was looking at him, a little angry, his cheeks were reddish, and he was slightly angry.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin looked at her with amusement.
"Cough...cough...of course I'm listening, of course I'm listening..." Zhang Tieqian laughed twice and hurriedly covered it up.
"Then I wonder how your Majesty is going to prepare?"
"Can't the elemental crystals of Dibaoyuan still last for nearly thirty years? Anyway, the Dragon Emperor Temple can't untie the pot now, so why should Dibaoyuan be anxious!" Zhang Tie said with an indifferent expression, laughing.
.
"Your Majesty..." Guan Minjun raised his eyebrows, and his tone doubled again, "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm afraid I won't be able to last thirty years by then. If the gods in the temple know
The temple no longer has elemental crystals. The elemental crystals in the Dragon King Temple are about to run out, and a big mess is about to happen in the temple. How could His Highness be so careless..."
"Haha, I wonder what the master Guan Yuan's countermeasures are?" Zhang Tie continued to ask lightly.
"Either increase revenue or reduce expenditure. If you want to reduce expenditure, the first step is to control the number and size of the Dragon Tooth Army. The strategy of increasing revenue is still within the mountain ruins, and the mountain ruins will soon be opened.
Today, in the past year, more and more gods and generals have gone to the mountain ruins, regardless of the human or demon clans. Please let your majesty decide how to open up the revenue!"
"Everything about the Longya Army is still decided by Commander Huang. I have no intention of reducing the number and size of the Longya Army. Regarding the daily expenses of the Longya Army, I also ask Dibaoyuan to give their full support and make timely deployment and operation without delaying military aircraft.
Zhang Tie smiled, and as soon as he spoke, he rejected Guan Minjun's suggestion of cutting costs, "As for increasing revenue, Shanxu is indeed a way, but the old man no longer cares about the affairs of the Dragon King Temple, and I can't feel sorry for this."
To bother him with trivial matters, everything must be resolved based on the current strength and ability of the Dragon King Temple. However, there is no strong person at the level of Yuanshen General in the Dragon King Temple. Now we enter the mountain ruins and compete with the various temples and demon temples.
There is no chance of winning..."
Guan Minjun sighed, "I just made a suggestion, as long as His Majesty has an idea!"
"Hahaha, there's no need to worry, Master Guan. Maybe this problem won't be a problem in a year or two..." Zhang Tie said still not caring.
Guan Minjun took a deep look at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's calmness and understatement of the matter made Guan Minjun feel unfathomable, and he couldn't figure out where Zhang Tie's confidence came from.
At this point, there is no need to continue today's meeting.
"Since Your Majesty already knows the current situation of the Dragon King Temple, I will take my leave!" Guan Minjun stood up. Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin looked at each other helplessly and stood up.
Zhang Tie raised his hand, and Hong Yukun, the servant of Longhuang Pavilion, emerged from behind Zhang Tie and sent the three of them away from Tianan Tower. When they were about to leave, Jiang Ruoxin turned around and glanced at Zhang Tie, wanting to say something.
But seeing that Zhang Tie never spoke, such as asking the two women to stay, Jiang Ruoxin held back again, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, but left the Dragon Emperor Pavilion with a hint of disappointment.
Zhang Tie lowered his head and rubbed his temples with his hands, slightly thoughtful.
Zhang Tie didn't see Jiang Ruoxin's glance back, but he felt it. Zhang Tie knew what Jiang Ruoxin was expecting, but at this time, Zhang Tie didn't have time to play with a few women.
game.
In the past six months, Zhang Tie has only been thinking about one thing, and that is how to secure the position of Dragon King.
For Zhang Tie, the position of the Dragon King means more than just his own commitment to the Dragon King.
This is one of the three emperor-level temples of the human race. It has a huge influence in the entire Sky World. He has brought out the Dragon King who has been missing for more than 900 years, making everyone believe that the Dragon King has returned and he has become a human being.
Becoming the Dragon King's heir and sitting on the Dragon King's position is a God-given opportunity. As long as you seize this opportunity, you can completely transform yourself from the sky in the shortest time and in the easiest way in the sky.
The current Phantom Knight has successfully advanced to Sky Knight and Semi-Saint, realizing another leap in strength.
As long as you take the position of Dragon King well and take the Dragon King Temple into your own hands, everything will fall into place.
For this goal, even if you are exhausted, bothered by a lot of mundane things all day long, and can't even squeeze in a few hours of practice time every day, it is still worth it.
This is the saying goes that sharpening your sword will make you a good chopping wood.
…
"Your Majesty, the three of them have left Longhuang Pavilion..." At some point, Hong Yukun had returned to Tian'an Tower from outside, stood in front of Zhang Tie, and reported in a low voice.
"Well, I understand..." Zhang Tie put down his hand and raised his head, "Are there any divine generals waiting to be summoned outside? Let's arrange for them to come in..."
"There is no general God waiting to be summoned outside for the time being?"
"Ah, no more!" Zhang Tie seemed to be a little surprised and raised his head.
"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? Your Majesty has already summoned the two palace masters and divine generals from Silver Maple City and Kuangsha City just this morning. These are the last two palace masters and a group of gods summoned by your Majesty in the Dragon Emperor Territory.
General, in the past six months, Your Majesty has received all the palace masters and divine generals of nearly a thousand Dragon Emperor temples in the Dragon Emperor Territory. Your Majesty’s diligence and reputation have spread throughout the Dragon Emperor Territory..."
Zhang Tie thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, it turns out that I have been interviewed completely and a big thing has been resolved. It's great, it's great. I can feel a little more relaxed in the future..."
"Your Majesty has been busy for a long time. I wonder if your Majesty would like to take a short rest now, or if you want to enjoy some singing and dancing music..."
"No, let's go out for a walk, see how the Forbidden City is being built, and get some fresh air..."
"I'll make arrangements right away..."
"Don't bother. It's too quiet to walk on the ground. I'll just ask a few guards to wear flying wings with me and leave directly from the air..." Zhang Tie said, having already stood up and walked out of Tian'an Tower.
.
After a while, five figures flew out of the Dragon Emperor Pavilion and flew directly towards the north of the Dragon Emperor City. Just over ten minutes later, Zhang Tie and four divine generals and guards flew over the Forbidden City.
At this time, the sky above the Forbidden City can no longer see the flying boats that come and go transporting various building materials and goods during the busiest period. With the efforts of tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen in the Sky World, in less than half a year, the area is better than the Dragon King.
The larger palace complex has been basically completed, with only the final steps remaining.
This Forbidden City is a Chinese palace that Zhang Tie copied from the world he came from based on his memory.
"Leng Manxue has met His Majesty..." Zhang Tie and the others had just flown over the Forbidden City and hovered for a while. Leng Manxue, wearing flying wings, had already flown up from the ground and arrived at Zhang Tie's side in the blink of an eye.
.
"How long will it take for the Forbidden City to be completed and put into use?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Some palaces in the Forbidden City are now ready for use, but there are still some palace buildings that have not been completed. In the end, it will only take half a month to fully put them into use!" Leng Manxue replied.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
"This is the duty of my subordinates!"
Zhang Tie wanted to say something else, but suddenly, he paused slightly, because at this moment, the jade token that Zhang Tie was carrying had already transmitted information from the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. A special envoy from the Star Emperor Temple was stationed at the Dragon Palace in the Wa Palace.
Accompanied by the general manager of the Imperial City, he suddenly visited Longhuang Pavilion and wanted to see Zhang Tie.
Although Zhang Tie has been waiting for this day for half a year, in fact, the people from the Star Emperor Temple arrived earlier than Zhang Tie expected...
Zhang Tie originally thought that the people from the Star Emperor Temple would have to wait until the Forbidden City was fully put into use before contacting him. Now it seems that the people from the Star Emperor Temple are still a little restless.
After receiving the news, Zhang Tie remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, he couldn't help laughing wildly.
After working hard for half a year, the harvest period for him as the Dragon King is finally coming...
