On the second day after the publication of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Huajiabao, people could often be seen reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the roadside throughout Huajiabao. In order to attract customers, the teahouse bought ten ordinary versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to attract guests. The whole Huajiabao was full of discussions about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
There are very few entertainment activities in this world. Suddenly, such a good-looking long novel appeared, and the content was particularly rich. Many people immediately regarded it as a treasure. Everyone in Huajiabao who had the ability would buy a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and put it at home. The meaning of books in this world is extremely precious.
On November 25th, the weather suddenly became cold. Snowflakes floated in the sky in the morning. Hua Kai put on a thick cotton coat and came to the stable. All the horses that can be upgraded today should be upgraded. Entering the new stable area, Hua Kai saw Xue Pan cleaning the stable.
"Xue Pan, you got up early! Which day have you cleaned the stable today?" Hua Kai asked when he saw Xue Pan with a strong smell of horse manure.
"Return to the master, it's the 27th day, and there are three days left." Xue Pan stood up and returned respectfully.
"You won't be dissatisfied with me! The family has its own rules. It's a big crime for you to deceive the head of the family. I'm asking you to clean the stables to teach you a lesson." Hua Kai saw that Xue Pan had reached the third level of Qidong Realm after not seeing him for a month. He had been suppressed for a long time because of his injury. This time his body was fully recovered, and it was inevitable that his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
"Xue Pan dare not complain at all! Even if Xue Pan died a hundred times, he would never be able to repay the head of the family's kindness. Chen'er and Yi'er are now living a very stable life in the Hua family, so I have nothing to worry about. Please take me with you when you go business next year, otherwise Xue Pan will not be at ease!" Xue Pan bowed and asked.
Seeing Xue Pan's loyalty to the family, Hua Kai saw that his loyalty value had reached 95 points, but he was still a long way from entering the family list. Now the 100th person in the family's loyalty ranking has a loyalty of 96 points, so it's not that easy to enter the family list.
"Practice your archery well! You will definitely have a share in the business next year. When you are done with the punishment, go to the housekeeper Huafu to get a yard! It is not easy for you to live in a house with your two children. Now Xue Chen is the focus of the family's training!" Hua Kai said to Xue Pan.
Xue Pan was very grateful, but Hua Kai waited for a long time and did not see his loyalty increase. If you don't increase your loyalty when you are given a chance, you can't blame others for missing the opportunity. Thinking of this, Hua Kai left.
In the afternoon, Hua Kai went to the spiritual field again to see that the spiritual rice seedlings were growing well. At this time, due to the cold weather, the spiritual rice seedlings had stopped growing and entered the power accumulation period. At this time, the more spiritual power they absorbed, the larger the ears would be in the spring of next year, and the spiritual rice would have a good harvest.
More than 10 acres of land next to the spiritual field were converted into a school. The school has more than 20 houses, eight small martial arts training grounds in the middle, and a separate dining hall in the school. Now the school has just been built and the school has not yet started.
Hua Kai came to the workshop area with satisfaction. As soon as he arrived at the printing workshop, he heard a report from the village protection team that an old man came outside the village and said he wanted to see Hua Kai.
Hua Kai knew that Chu Yuncheng had come after hearing the introduction of the village protection team members.
When he came to the village gate tower, it was Chu Yuncheng riding a BMW and standing outside the gate of Huajiabao. Hua Kai asked the village protection team members to open the gate.
Now is the time when wild beasts gather outside the village. Even if the gates of Guangxian City have been closed, unless something big happens, the gates of the city and village will not be opened in winter.
"Master Hua!" Chu Yuncheng, a Xiantian realm, actually took the initiative to salute Hua Kai.
"President Chu is polite! I wonder if the things are ready?" Hua Kai asked.
"I have been to more than ten countries, but fortunately the things are ready. When the Hua family is in charge, I have to send them back to Chu as soon as possible." Chu Yuncheng said to Hua Kai.
Now it is not far from December. Chu Yuncheng has to rush back to Chu State in the winter. This is a thousand times more difficult than going back to Zhangjiabao from Linzi City. Even the Xiantian Realm may not be able to complete it smoothly. Hua Kai guessed that the elder of the Chu family who was about to die was in danger.
"Please wait for a few days. If everything goes well, President Chu will have a result in about seven days. I have already prepared a guest room for President Chu. Please don't dislike Huajiabao for being too simple!" Hua Kai said.
After entering the main courtyard, Chu Yuncheng wanted to give all the secondary medicines to himself. Hua Kai dismissed everyone in the Hua family. Chu Yuncheng waved his hand and a lot of medicines appeared on the table. Chu Yuncheng prepared several copies of many of these medicines.
"There is no problem with the medicinal materials. I will send them to the alchemist right away. Please stay in the Hua family for a few more days. If you need anything, please let me know." Hua Kai said.
Chu Yuncheng left without saying a few words. Hua Kai took all the medicinal materials and entered the [Family Secret Realm Space]. All the medicinal materials were put into the medicine shelf, and he felt satisfied.
I saw that many medicinal materials in the [Alchemy Room] had been lit up. Now the Hua family can refine nearly a hundred kinds of elixirs. If all the spiritual medicines here are used up, more than 400 spiritual medicines can refine hundreds of furnaces of elixirs at most. The Hua family will no longer have to worry about ordinary elixirs. What he is pursuing now is elixirs above high-level treasure elixirs, because these high-level elixirs have a heaven-defying effect and quickly enhance the family's strength.
Seeing the [Hundred Longevity Pill] icon lit up, Hua Kai looked at the family's luck value of 1134 points. This number is not safe for Huajiabao, but thinking that there is still a Xiantian realm sitting in the family, Hua Kai clicked to confirm the refining.
After a few seconds, the luck value on the crystal column of the family list was sucked into the red warning line, and 3 dark red elixirs lay quietly in the synthesis frame.
The higher the level of the elixir, the fewer pills are produced at one time. This time, 3 [Hundred Longevity Pills] were produced. This is a ninth-grade treasure pill!
The last time the housekeeper Hua Fu took the ninth-grade treasure pill [Zhong Ling Pill], Hua Kai still remembered the effect clearly. The effect of this level of pill is beyond imagination. This is probably because the purple ginseng was replaced with the ten thousand year old purple ginseng.
The pill was successfully refined, and Hua Kai left the [Family Secret Space]. Now the family's luck value is only 135 points, far less than a quarter of the family's comprehensive strength. Therefore, Hua Kai is afraid that the family will suddenly encounter an accident.
After walking around the village and not seeing anything special happen, Hua Kai's hanging heart was finally put down. When he came to the guest room where Chu Yuncheng lived, Hua Kai saw that he was reading his "Three Kingdoms".
"President Chu! All the pills have been sent in, and there will be results in seven days at most." Hua Kai knew that Chu Yuncheng gave him the ten thousand year old purple ginseng, which was actually a risk. If the pill was not successfully refined, the Hua family might be in danger, and it might be a torment for him to stay in the Huajiabao!
"That's great! As long as the longevity medicine is successfully refined this time, Huajiabao will become the best friend of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. If Hua Kai needs anything, just bring it to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce branch in Linzi City, and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will never refuse... By the way, this is written by the head of the Hua family! I didn't expect that the head of the Hua family could write such an article at the age of twenty. It's amazing. In less than ten years, Qi will have the first tycoon!" Chu Yuncheng said.
"President Chu praised! Leisurely works are not worthy of being published. President Chu likes to give you a few sets when he leaves!" Hua Kai said.
"The head of the Hua family is modest, which is good, but what's better is the carrier. I wonder if this thing was developed by the Hua family?" As a businessman, Chu Yuncheng saw the importance of paper at first sight.
"Occasional gains, I call it paper, what? President Chu is also interested in paper?" Hua Kai asked with a smile.
"The role of paper, the head of the Hua family, doesn't need me to tell you, the head of the Hua family also knows that the Sihai Chamber of Commerce wants to contract all the sales of paper. I wonder if it is feasible?" Chu Yuncheng said bluntly.
"President Chu, how much do you think this paper is worth?" Hua Kai did not mention the contract for the right to sell, but suddenly mentioned the price of paper. This made Chu Yuncheng realize that Hua Kai was not an ordinary person, and it made sense that he could lead the entire Hua family to become stronger and stronger.
"I think a piece of paper is worth at least one gold... ten silvers... one silver!" Chu Yuncheng said uncertainly.
It is not expensive to say that a piece of paper is worth one gold. Whether it is the appearance, it is estimated that the preservation, transportation, and binding are much better than sheepskin. But how much will the production cost of this paper be? Chu Yuncheng thinks it will never be too expensive, otherwise Hua Kai would not use it to make a book.
"It is only a matter of time before paper is promoted. By then, more and more people will study papermaking, and the price of paper will be lower and lower. This paper is beneficial to the people and has extraordinary significance. It is not a family or chamber of commerce that can enjoy the benefits alone. The Sihai Chamber of Commerce can obtain paper from Hua Kai, but contracting all the sales rights... forget it!" Hua Kai said.
"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua is much wiser than I am. I wonder what price Mr. Hua plans to sell the paper for?" Chu Yuncheng was shocked and asked humbly.
"Paper costs one silver per sheet, and we can sell it to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce for 50 bone coins. The regular version of "Three Kingdoms" costs 10 silver per set, the upgraded version costs 1 gold per set, and the collector's version costs 10 gold per set." Hua Kai said lightly.
This set of "Three Kingdoms" has ten books, and the regular version only costs 10 silver, which means that one book only costs 1 silver. And Hua Kai sold a piece of paper for 1 silver, so it is inevitable that "Three Kingdoms" will be a big hit.
"Mr. Hua is very wise. I came here in a hurry this time, so I can only take a set of "Three Kingdoms" and a hundred sheets of white paper back. When the spring of next year comes, I will let Liu Pingli come to the Hua family to buy goods in person." Chu Yuncheng said.
The ancestor of the Chu family can't hold on for much longer. Chu Yuncheng came out this time with a lot of worries. He believed that Hua Kai had no other choice. Now that he had talked with the Hua family about [Three Kingdoms] and paper, Chu Yuncheng suddenly had several times more hope that the Hua family could refine the longevity medicine.
If the Hua family had no confidence, how could they dare to take away their natural materials and treasures and let them wait in Huajiabao. For a moment, Chu Yuncheng suddenly felt that if Huajiabao could really refine the longevity pill, it would be a good idea to be a hidden close ally of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Hua Kai has pills and a small target. Although the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Chu Kingdom, it is mainly hosted by his own lineage. If the two sides can establish a close cooperative relationship, then the biggest benefit should still be himself.
