Chapter 194 The Drought is Coming

There is little the Hua family can do about the possible invasion of the grassland countries, but Hua Kai has asked his uncle to reduce the daily grain sales in Guang County, and each person is limited to two kilograms per day, and the price remains unchanged.

It has not snowed this winter so far. If there is no rain or snow before the arrival of spring, the drought is likely to be real. This is a great disaster for the people of the world who have just experienced the wolf disaster, but Hua Kai thinks that if it is handled well, it may become an opportunity for the Hua family, an opportunity to accelerate his completion of the main task six.

In the early morning of the next day, the students of the Hua family continued their previous habits, getting up first to play and chant, and then everyone had breakfast and went to the classroom to study.

Today Hua Kai and Xue Chen are going to the intermediate area A class, and Hua Mo will report to the intermediate area B class alone.

Finding the intermediate area A class, Hua Kai and Xue Chen entered and saw that there were only 17 students in this classroom. There are only eight classes in the intermediate area, and on average, there are less than 20 people in each class.

Hua Kai saw that most of the students in the classroom were over 20 years old, and the youngest seemed to be over 18 years old. The two of them looked particularly strange in the classroom, and everyone looked at them.

"Meet the head of the Hua family! I am Zhou Fu from the Zhou family. The head of the Hua family has never been promoted to the intermediate zone with 1900 points in a month. If you have any questions about the intermediate zone, you can ask me at any time!" A young man who looked about 20 years old stood up and walked to Hua Kai and said.

The Zhou family is a subsidiary family of the Hua family. Hua Kai saw that the other party's Kaiyuan realm 9th level cultivation should be the core personnel of the Zhou family, so he nodded to him.

At this time, an old man slowly walked into the classroom, and all the students immediately sat up straight. The teacher walked up to the podium with a ruler and began to test everyone's homework.

It is not so easy to be promoted from the intermediate area to the advanced area. Most of the time, only one person can be promoted every month. Occasionally, no one will be promoted to the advanced area for a month. Therefore, the personnel of all classes are relatively fixed. Most of them are able to know how talented they are at this age. The purpose of staying in Guangxian Academy is mainly to improve their specialties in certain aspects, or to comprehend the mental methods of hundreds of schools. These things are difficult to learn after leaving school!

After checking the homework of 17 students, the teacher asked about what they learned last month. Most of them could only get the evaluation of B-lower or B-middle, and there were very few B-above.

Hua Kai compared the questions asked by the teachers in the primary and intermediate areas. The primary area focuses more on basic recitation, while the teachers in the intermediate area will ask students for their own opinions and ask a variety of questions. It is much more difficult to get good grades in the intermediate area.

In the afternoon, there is still a martial arts class. The martial arts in the intermediate area will also be assessed at the end of each month, instead of being divided equally by the teacher. All the people in the intermediate A class are above the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm, and the teacher gives guidance based on each person's martial arts and mental methods.

"Student Hua, please attack me with all your strength! Don't hold back!" After giving instructions to 17 people, the martial arts teacher came to Hua Kai. Although there was only a teacher-student and classmate relationship in the classroom, he still couldn't help but use a respectful tone.

Seeing that the opponent was at the Great Perfection of the Qidong Realm, Hua Kai no longer hid it. He used [Sky Spear] one move after another, and the teacher easily resolved it. After the eighth move of [Sky Spear], the opponent also began to struggle. All the students looked at the two people fighting in the field with their mouths wide open in surprise!

"The strength of the Holy Son has completely surpassed all the students in the intermediate area. His spear skills have already reached the Great Perfection, which is beyond my reach. In the future, I just need to learn more about the basic moves of other weapons, so that my spear skills can be more powerful!" The martial arts teacher bowed and said.

For the first time, other students felt the gap between themselves and the real genius. It seems that Hua Kai can get another A in martial arts this month. With 500 points in hand, he will have a great chance of being promoted to the advanced area. Is the Holy Son really so perverted?

Hua Kai bowed to the martial arts teacher in return to thank him. His uncle Wu and grandfather would often teach Hua Kai about his spear skills, but they were not as good as this teacher in analyzing. The teachers at Guangxian Academy might not be very strong, but they must have seen farther than most in their own profession.

Hua Kai studied with Xue Chen in the intermediate zone A-class. After class every day, he went to the Cangshu Academy to copy books and recite them. The other students of the Hua family were also making progress every day. They made up for their own shortcomings according to their own situation. Everyone studied very hard, especially in the chanting of the Book of Songs. The ensemble effect of everyone was getting better and better. Many people were already learning a second instrument, because everyone found that the chanting of the Book of Songs could improve their understanding speed of martial arts and mental skills, and many people's willpower was improving unconsciously.

What surprised Hua Kai the most was Hua Mo's performance. He was the hardest working one among all. Every night when everyone went to rest, he was still reciting the Spring and Autumn Annals alone and doing the math problems Hua Kai gave everyone. He was actually very concerned about not being able to enter the intermediate zone A-class this time.

Before we knew it, it was the end-of-month exam time again. The students of the Hua family were working hard to study. This month, everyone copied some books learned in the intermediate area. Hua Kai had given these books to his uncle Wu and asked him to go back to Huajiabao to print them. This month, Huajiabao Academy also added some basic courses in the primary area of ​​the academy. He hoped to let some students enter Guangxian Academy next month. Hua Kai agreed!

After the six course exams, Xue Chen was a little dissatisfied with his exams this month. He only had the sixth level of Kaiyuan Realm cultivation, which was not advantageous in the intermediate area. The A-class was the strongest group of students in the academy. He did not stand out in this exam.

Most of the other students of the Hua family were satisfied with the end-of-month assessment this time. Everyone changed their clothes on the afternoon of January 25th and went home together!

When Hua Kai returned to Huafu, he saw that the servants were already dismantling some buildings in the mansion. Yu Jun went to Luguo to get the birth date of Princess Ji Le. His uncle Wu had gone to Linzi City and had not returned yet.

Spring has not yet arrived outside Guang County, but the wild beasts have disappeared. This year, due to the lack of food at the city gate, people often go out of the city to hunt wild beasts. The wild beasts that were not large in scale were directly driven away and killed by them. Some people in the city are ready to leave the city and start a new life for another year.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, the fifth uncle brought 43 young men and women from the Hua family to Huafu. This month they will follow Hua Kai and others to study at the Guang County Academy. For this, Hua Kai also tested their basic knowledge of the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Book of Songs, arithmetic, and etiquette. Everyone has mastered it well. It seems that the Huajiabao Academy has taught them a lot.

The birth date of the fifth uncle and Princess Ji Le is exactly the same. Hua Kai asked Yu Jun to send the results to Lu State as soon as possible. In the middle of next month, the fifth uncle will go to Lu State to "receive the marriage"!

"Kai'er, I spent 200 gold to get the news from the Yin-Yang family. This year will be a year of severe drought, and the drought will last for a long time. The whole world may suffer from severe drought in the next three years. This is a troublesome problem!" Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai and said.

"Alas! The whole world will definitely be in great trouble. Let someone ask if the Sihai Chamber of Commerce can collect a batch of food for us. It doesn't matter if the price is a little expensive. Spring will come in a few days. The reconstruction of Huajiabao and Huafu in the city should be accelerated. More people should be hired. Everyone's life will be difficult this year. The prices of food in all restaurants and hotels of the Hua family should remain the same, and there should be no increase. In addition, the help I arranged to help the affiliated families improve their strength must be done secretly. If they are short of food, let them borrow from Huajiabao!" Hua Kai said heavily.

A series of arrangements that had been planned originally can only be done because of the coming of drought. However, the Hua family still has enough food now. It is just the right time to expand and attract a large number of laborers. At that time, if the prices of restaurants and hotels in the Hua family's commercial district do not increase, they will definitely attract a large number of people, which will promote the prosperity and commercial development of the Hua family.

Fourth uncle Hua Zihuan also received news that many tribes in the entire Xiongnu grassland have begun to gather teams and prepare to launch an attack on the Central Plains. This time, the Xiongnu country's target is Linhu, Dayuezhi, and Xiaoyuezhi countries to follow Yiqu country to attack Qin and Zhao.

And the grassland countries such as Donghu, Caizi, and Guifang will launch an attack in the direction of Yan. The entire northern region may usher in a war that is rare in a century. Now the Central Plains countries should have discovered the abnormal movements of the grassland countries.

What Hua Kai has to do now is to follow the guidance of the main task six and quickly improve the strength of the Hua family. When the family is promoted to a sixth-grade family, he will be able to face various difficulties more calmly.

On the first day of February, the winter cold gradually receded, and the number of pedestrians on the streets of Guang County gradually increased. However, this year's spring seemed different from previous years. The trees on both sides of the street were slightly less green. Some experienced people had guessed that there might be a drought this year.

Hua Kai took 59 students of the Hua family to Guang County Academy in the morning. The boys and girls who went to Guang County Academy for the first time were very excited. Hua Kai took them to Liu Lao to test their bone age and cultivation. Among the 34 new students, four had excellent qualifications, sixteen had excellent qualifications, and fourteen had excellent qualifications.

Hua Kai paid one year's tuition and two sets of school uniforms for the fourteen people, a total of 64 gold. It is difficult for ordinary families to afford to study in Guang County Academy without genius qualifications. If some other expenses in the academy are added, the cost of a student's study for a year is at least 5 gold. Three years ago, the Hua family may have exhausted the family's strength and could only afford to send two people to study in the academy.

The 34 new students of the Hua family were arranged in the three classes of the primary area, from Class B to Class D. In this way, more than half of the students in the four classes of the primary area of ​​Guangxian Academy, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D, belonged to the Hua family!

After arranging dormitories for everyone, Hua Kai and 25 old students played a piece of poetry for the newcomers. All the newcomers were envious after seeing it. Hua Kai told them the time and content of everyone's study in the "Genius Academy" every day, and then everyone went to the canteen together.
