Chapter 123 Compromise and Deal

Hua Kai saw that many alfalfa and clover in the spiritual field were being removed bit by bit. Although this alfalfa and clover can promote the growth and development of livestock, the spiritual energy is too abundant. Except for BMW, ordinary livestock can't eat much. With so much alfalfa and clover, Hua Kai thought of a way to store concentrated feed.

There were about a hundred kilograms of alfalfa and clover picked out. He moved thousands of kilograms of soybeans from the warehouse, plus some weeds in the spiritual field. Hua Kai chopped them all up and mixed them, then added hundreds of kilograms of [spiritual liquid] and placed them in the wine cellar for natural fermentation.

Fermented green fodder is the best feed for livestock fattening. More than a thousand kilograms can replenish the physical strength of horses at critical times. Now there is still some time before the caravan leaves, which is enough for the new feed to ferment. With them, the caravan will not need to bring too much fodder for the horses on the road.

Watching four villagers carry thousands of kilograms of new feed down the wine cellar, this thousand kilograms is actually less than 1 cubic meter.

Hua Kai heard Er Zhuang calling him outside the workshop area, and when he came out, he realized that it was the County Master Han Xu who had actually arrived at the gate of Huajiabao.

"You go and inform my grandfather, my fifth uncle and others to come together to welcome the County Master, Yu Jun, the housekeeper, Xue Pan and others should not come!" Hua Kai said to Er Zhuang.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw an eight-man sedan chair parked outside the city gate. This sedan was made very exquisitely and gorgeously, with silver tops and gold edges as a foil, and the wood used for the sedan chair was all above 4th grade wood.

There were servants and maids on both sides of the sedan chair, with a number of more than 20 people, and hundreds of Han family servants followed them neatly. The County Master's trip was not small.

Not long after, my grandfather and several uncles came, and Hua Kai took the lead to go out of the city gate to greet them.

"Hello, County Master, County Master is here in Huajiabao today, Hua Kai did not greet him from afar, please forgive me!" Hua Kai bowed.

"I have nothing to do today. I heard that Huajiabao has made something called 'paper', so I came to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you!" Han Xu saw that everyone in the Hua family had gone out to pay their respects, and then came out of the sedan and said.

"It's just a casual work. If the county lord wants to see it, just send someone to Huajiabao to tell him. Why bother to go there in person!"

Hua Kai's words were obviously a rejection, but Han Xu seemed not to hear it. He walked up to Hua Kai and walked into Huajiabao on his own.

Huajiabao belongs to the affiliated family of the Han family. Zhangjiabao should also be considered as the Han family in name, but there is no Han family member in the entire Huajiabao. All the shops are run by the Hua family. This is Han Xu's first time to Huajiabao.

Hua Kai and Han Xu walked on the street of Huajiabao. As soon as they entered the door, this place belonged to the commercial district of Huajiabao. Pedestrians on the road saw Hua Kai following a middle-aged man wearing gold and purple, and they couldn't help but look over.

"A small village outside the village can be so prosperous. The head of the Hua family is not simple!" Han Xu looked at Hua Kai and said with a smile.

"This is all the credit of my uncles and the Hua family. I dare not take credit for it!" Hua Kai continued to be modest.

Han Xu did not refute. He came to the market area and saw that there were teahouses, restaurants, grain shops, and weapon shops. He saw a bookstore and walked in.

There were nearly a hundred books on the bookshelf of the bookstore, some of which were classics of various schools of thought. He took a book and flipped through it. Although there were many incomplete parts, it was very rare for a village.

"The book made of paper has such clear handwriting and such exquisite binding. This is really a great contribution to the future. I believe that with the "Hua Family Paper", all the schools of thought will be grateful to the Hua family." Han Xu picked up a collector's edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and saw that the author's name was Hua Kai. He flipped through it and read it carefully.

Hua Kai saw his uncle looking at him nervously and signaled that he was fine. He quietly waited for Han Xu to open "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and started reading. Seeing this, other guests in the bookstore also left the bookstore.

After more than ten minutes, Han Xu closed the book.

"Buy me a copy of all the books here and send them back later!" Han Xu said to the attendant beside him.

Seeing Han Xu leave the bookstore, Hua Kai followed him out. Hua Zichen followed closely behind Hua Kai, as if he was on guard against Han Xu's attack on Hua Kai.

If it was before, the Han family might not take the Hua family seriously, but today, seeing that the Hua family has the ability to print books, the future influence of the Hua family cannot be underestimated. Han Xu directly chose to eliminate the Hua family for papermaking technology, and Hua Kai was the first to bear the brunt. He couldn't have been unaware of what a 14-year-old boy wrote a masterpiece of one million words.

"It would be great if you were willing to be my son-in-law. I thought I valued you, but I found out that you are much more powerful than I thought..." Han Xu said, Hua Zichen suddenly pulled Hua Kai behind him. He was the only one in Huajiabao who could deal with Han Xu.

"Fifth uncle, why did you treat the county master like this? Why don't you apologize quickly..." Hua Kai knew very well that Han Xu didn't dare to kill him, so he said to Hua Zichen.

If it was before, it would be beneficial for the Han family to kill him in order to stop the rise of the Hua family. But now the Hua family's strength has surpassed that of ordinary ninth-grade families, so the Han family must consider the revenge of all the Hua family members after killing Hua Kai.

Moreover, what Hua Kai wrote has been published in a book, and it will surely be read by many students. If the various schools of thought knew that the author of "Three Kingdoms" was killed by Han Xu, the head of the Han family, the Tian family might not be able to protect the entire Han family.

"Fifth Master Hua, I know your name. I heard that you killed a high-level wild beast in Huajiabao. If you have a chance, please invite Han Mansion to talk. We can study "Haoran Zhengqi" together!" Han Xu said this to praise and promote Hua Zichen, but he would never believe that Hua Zichen had the ability to kill a high-level wild beast alone. The Hua family must have paid the price and let Hua Zichen complete the fatal blow.

Hua Zichen didn't care about Han Xu's praise and enticement at all. He felt that Han Xu would not suddenly attack Hua Kai, so he slowly retreated and followed behind Hua Kai.

"County Master, if you have any instructions, please go to the inner village first. The Hua family will definitely entertain you warmly!" Hua Kai saw Han Xu's eyes looking towards the spiritual field and the village school, so he spoke.

"No, I have something else to do in the city, so I won't bother you any more... By the way, this war between Qi and Yan may affect the influence of all the noble families in the whole Qi. The Hua family is powerful and is making great achievements. I wonder who the Hua family plans to send to lead the team this time?" Han Xu seemed to have no opinion at this time.

"The Hua family gained a lot from trading last year because of the care of the county master, so the family can have such a good appearance this year. This year I plan to go to the Xiongnu country. I have sent the list of Hua family's trade this year to Han Mansion this morning." Hua Kai replied in a low voice.

"Oh! That's a pity. This expedition is a rare opportunity for our Guang County. If the Hua family is willing to let Mr. Hua Wu go out and take the main force of the Hua family to the expedition, the strength of our entire Guang County will definitely increase greatly... Although the Hua family is an ordinary family in Guang County, they should do their best. If so... this year, the Hua family can pay 30% of the road permit fee for trading goods, and the amount of goods brought is entirely determined by the Hua family itself." Han Xu seemed to say this unintentionally at this time.

If he disagrees with the Hua family's business trip, it is not impossible for the Hua family to form their own caravan to go to the Xiongnu grassland. It's just that they need to count the goods and pay customs duties at each checkpoint, which takes a little longer on the road and pays more customs duties.

But if this is the case, what good will it do to their Han family? Han Xu said that he would give the Hua family a pass for 30% of the price of the goods this time, which actually gave the Hua family some rights of aristocratic families, and in order to show favor, the part that should have been handed over to the Han family was also exempted by Han Xu.

In this way, the Hua family can not only go to the Xiongnu grassland like last year, but he can also bring some ordinary families like the aristocratic families. The Hua family can collect pass fees from ordinary families, and the profit in the middle is huge!

Hua Kai laughed in his heart when he heard this! However, he did not intend to make the relationship with the Han family too stiff. Han Xu was willing to give the Hua family the right to lead the business independently, so the pass fee could save more than 5,000 gold, which is a huge sum of money for ordinary aristocratic families.

"Since the county lord said so, the Hua family will certainly obey! My fifth uncle will definitely take the elite of the Hua family to Guang County before the 14th, and the Hua family will send out 10 more Qidong Realm masters." Hua Kai thought for a while and said.

Although Han Xu felt that the Han family had too few Qigong Realm masters, he did not hesitate. It was already very rare for an ordinary family to send out 10 more Qidong Realm masters.

Han Xu came to Huajiabao and left without entering the inner village. This did not have much impact on the entire Huajiabao. Huajiabao was still as busy as before. As Huajiabao became stronger and stronger, all the villagers actually saw that it was the Han family who was deliberately suppressing the Hua family, but all this was not important. Huajiabao still had its own rhythm and slowly became stronger and stronger.

In the evening, Hua Kai finished the trial for ten family members and found that his grandfather and fifth uncle came over. Hua Xing also told Hua Kai about his decision to let Hua Zichen go north to support Leling City.

"Kai'er, if you let your fifth uncle go to Leling City this time, how will we arrange the personnel of our caravan? What if the Han family makes things difficult for us?" Hua Xing said with some worry.

"Grandpa, it is inevitable that the Hua family will become a noble family! Although we don't know the real reason and purpose of this war now, if we don't participate in it, we will definitely be noticed by the noble families in Guang County, which will have a very bad impact on our Hua family."

Hua Kai said so, Hua Xing and Hua Zichen also nodded. Everyone worked hard, and your Hua family sent a Qidong realm to show their intention. They will only see that the Hua family did not try their best, and will not care about any conflicts between the Hua family and the Han family.

"I told Han Xu to let the fifth uncle take 10 Qidong realms, and we will only send 11 people. One person will go lightly with two horses and strong mobility." Hua Kai said.

"You mean not to bring auxiliary soldiers? But what if there is a shortage of food and grass? Marching without food and grass is a taboo!" Hua Xing said.
