In the afternoon, the Hua family and everyone in the Hua family stayed at the Baoyuguan Inn. As an inn, Baoyuguan may have been used to receive passing merchants, and its scale is not small.
"It is also a good thing for us to take over Baoyuguan now. The contradiction between us and the Donghu Kingdom cannot be resolved. They may attack Baoyuguan. It is very important for us to restore the defense of Baoyuguan as soon as possible." Hua Kai said to everyone in the Hua family while sitting in the yard.
"Kai'er, how should Zhang Fei be dealt with?" Hua Zichen said.
"Ignore them. If they dare to resist, they will be suppressed directly. If they attack the common people, no matter who they are, they will be killed immediately. You have someone keep an eye on the two soldiers. If they don't take the common people to the clinic for treatment in one day, they will be dragged to the parade ground and beaten with 5 sticks. If there is no movement on the second day, they will be beaten with 5 sticks." Hua Kai said.
Everyone nodded. This group of soldiers are used to bullying the common people. Almost all the shops here are controlled by Zhang Fei. They have already asked people to take over the shops.
Several people talked about the takeover and future development of Baoyu Pass, which the Hua family was very familiar with. First, let the slaves and the people build houses in Baoyu Pass together to prepare sufficient accommodation for the upcoming family members, so that the people of Baoyu Pass can also have some income, get out of poverty, and support the rule of the Hua family.
"The most critical issue now is, what standard do we follow to rebuild Baoyu Pass? If we just use earth walls like now, then everything will be very simple. If we use stones and wood to build it, it will be much more difficult. There are no stone factories and wood factories near Baoyu Pass. It takes at least half a month to transport it from the Dongling Mountains." Yu Jun said.
"Baoyu Pass is one of the important nodes connecting the grassland and the Central Plains. The width of the pass is only one kilometer. With the advantage of occupying the pass, as long as there are a thousand elites, the gate of the Central Plains can be guarded. At the same time, this is also one of the closest roads to the grassland. If you want to gain a foothold in Gaoliu County, this Baoyu Pass is crucial. I think this Baoyu Pass should not only be repaired, but also repaired the best!" Hua Zichen said.
"But how to solve the problem of materials? We have been in Gaoliu City for more than half a year and have invested more than 300,000 gold. If we build this Leopard Jade Pass at the same time, will the manpower and financial resources not be able to keep up?" Yu Jun asked.
Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai. He didn't know much about the economic situation of the Hua family. All the wealth accumulated by the Hua family over the years has been put into construction. The small Huajiabao has cost more than 400,000 gold in total, which can build a medium-sized city in the hands of an ordinary big family.
"Don't worry about the funding problem. We can use the slaves bought back from the grassland this time to rebuild Leopard Jade Pass, but the transportation of materials is a problem. If the Leopard Jade Pass is completely transformed, we can completely develop it as our military city. When the road to the grassland is opened in the future, it can completely become a commercial city of the Hua family."
Hua Kai's words are very clear. He will make every effort to build the new Leopard Jade Pass and build it into a military town of the Hua family. In this way, everyone only needs to consider how to build it and what kind of problem it will be built.
Hua Kai took out a stack of papers to discuss with everyone. With their simple understanding of the terrain of Baoyu Pass, they made a preliminary construction plan for Baoyu Pass. If the plan is completed, Baoyu Pass will become a large pass with 30,000 troops stationed. Generally, the enemy will not be able to take Baoyu Pass without half a year.
"I will return to Guang County in a few days when this place is stable. At that time, my fifth uncle and I will find a way to deal with the supplies. Starting from tomorrow, we will arrange special people to be responsible for Baoyu Pass affairs. Who do you think is suitable to stay here to preside over it?" Hua Kai asked after everything was almost discussed.
Everyone's eyes were first on Hua Zichen. Baoyu Pass is the most important place for the Hua family in the future. Of course, Hua Zichen is the most suitable, but if he is there, he will have to give up the position of leader of the cavalry team. No one in the Hua family's light cavalry can replace Hua Zichen now.
Then everyone's eyes passed over Tang Lei, Yu Jun, and Xue Pan. Only the three of them in the Hua family have the strength and prestige to sit in Baoyu Pass!
"Then you stay, Yu Jun. I will leave you two special-grade servants, 30 first-grade servants, 50 Hua family light cavalry, 1,000 ordinary soldiers, and 3,000 slaves. These will be permanent staff in the future. I want you to keep an eye on the gate of Gaoliu County. Can you do it?" Hua Kai asked.
"Master, don't worry! I promise to guard the Leopard Jade Pass and not let any bandits pass through!" Yu Jun promised.
This is the first time that Yu Jun is in charge alone, and it is such a critical Leopard Jade Pass.
After years of rule changes, the Hua family servants are now different from before. Special-grade servants refer to people with A+ qualifications or above in the Qi training realm or have strong organizational and management abilities. The status of such people in the Hua family is only slightly lower than that of the core.
First-grade servants are servants with A- qualifications or above in the Qi training realm, or have management talents. There are only more than 100 such servants in the Hua family now.
In addition, second-grade servants need B+ qualifications or above, and the cultivation level of Qi dynamic realm or above. The Hua family has more than 600.
There are many third-class servants in the Hua family. As long as they are above the Qidong realm and above B-, some special talents also have the status of third-class servants. The number of third-class servants in the Hua family exceeds 2,000.
As for the others, they are not included in the level. Except for some special talents, the rest can only get salary by working.
The Hua family light cavalry and the Hua family servants are two different systems. As long as everyone has qualified horsemanship and strength above the Qidong realm, they can automatically apply for assessment. After entering the light cavalry team, they can get at least 10 gold every year. If they have a high position, strong strength, and meritorious service, they can also get rewards. It is a more dangerous but fastest-rewarding career.
Hua Kai arranged these troops to be enough for Yu Jun to persist for half a day when he encountered danger. Even if the opponent had many innate realms or even foundation-building realms, he could use 3,000 slaves to slow down the speed of breaking through such a wide city gate until the reinforcements from Gaoliu County arrived.
After the Hua family completely moved from Guangxian City to Gaoliu City, the construction of Baoyu Pass must have made some progress. At that time, he would move the family barracks to Baoyu Pass little by little.
After the person in charge of Baoyu Pass was determined, everyone couldn't help but talk about the defense and new construction of Baoyu Pass. The current Baoyu Pass city wall is four meters high, and the Donghu cavalry can jump up on a BMW. This city wall will be the key to the next reconstruction. In addition, there are facilities such as arrow towers and watchtowers on the city wall.
Hua Kai asked Yu Jun to give him a detailed measurement drawing of Baoyu Pass within half a month. He wanted to take the drawing back to Linzi City and ask the craftsman to design a new Baoyu Pass.
While discussing, a family member came in to report that when they took back the shops, they had a conflict with the people of Baoyu Pass. There were old soldiers involved. The Hua family killed several people who made trouble. The heads of these shops were all Zhang Fei's people, and Zhang Fei has not appeared yet.
"He can't protect himself, what's the point of showing up? You do what you should do. Even if it's Zhang Fei, if he dares to make any unusual moves, he will be killed directly." Hua Kai said.
In the evening, the Hua family had taken over the entire Baoyu Pass, and all the shops had been taken back by the Hua family, but the goods in these shops were particularly scarce, especially the grain, which was less than 100 kilograms.
The next day, Hua Kai first spent more than four hours taking 20 people into the four secret realms for trials. These 20 people were new members of the family list who had never entered the [Family Secret Realm Space] for trials. Two of them broke through the bottleneck and entered the Qi training realm.
In one morning, Hua Kai saw that the family's combat power attribute increased by more than 30 points. At this rate, the Hua family's combat power can be increased to more than 10,000 in more than a month.
He delivered 100 stones of various grains to the Baoyuguan grain store, and replenished the goods to the grocery store, cloth store, etc. With Xue Chen in the Ordos tribe, he could replenish the general goods even if they were not in the Hua family's [Baoguang Liuli Bottle].
At noon, it was the time agreed with Zhang Fei, but the servant came to report that the door of the general's mansion was closed and there was no movement inside. Hua Kai knew that the other party was going to play tricks, but how could the Hua family fall for it.
He followed the Hua family to the outside of the general's mansion. Tang Lei stood outside the general's mansion and began to give the final warning. Hua Kai could hear that there were many people inside the outer wall of the general's mansion. They seemed to be ready to fight with the Hua family.
"Okay, launch the attack!" Hua Kai said standing at the door.
Tang Lei led more than 200 members of the light cavalry team over the outer wall of the general's mansion. Soon there was a sound of fighting inside. The sound of fighting quickly moved to the inner courtyard of the general's mansion. Within an hour, Hua Kai saw the gate of the general's mansion open.
Tang Lei threw Zhang Fei, who was like a meatball, at Hua Kai's feet with a look of disgust. Zhang Fei cried and wanted to hug Hua Kai's legs, but was stopped by the Hua family.
"Master Hua, this is a misunderstanding! I really didn't think of going against you. I was just obsessed and wanted to blackmail you for a few horses. Please let me go. If you drive me out of the general's mansion, I will have nowhere to go!" Zhang Fei looked at Hua Kai and cried heartbreakingly.
"But will you die if you live a comfortable life with fine clothes and delicious food and being served by others? Now at this time, you still want to enjoy it. I really don't know what you are thinking?" Hua Kai looked at Zhang Fei and said.
"I will die. I will die without a life of fine clothes and delicious food. Let me go. I will repay you by working like a cow and a horse in the next life!" Zhang Fei said seriously.
"I don't believe it. I want to try it! I gave you the opportunity to take your property away, but you didn't cherish it. Next, let's play a game. If you don't die, I win. How about that?" Hua Kai said with a smile.
Zhang Fei didn't dare to speak anymore. He could feel Hua Kai's murderous intention. As long as he dared to disobey, he might become a dead soul under the other party's knife in the next moment.
All the servants, maids and Zhang Fei's wives and concubines in the general's mansion were driven out one by one. These women were crying and making a fuss like Zhang Fei at this time. They came to the center of the parade ground and waited for the Hua family to deal with them. Hua Kai ignored them and went into the general's mansion with the servants.
Entering the General's Mansion, Hua Kai felt as if he had returned to the State of Qi. There were many pavilions here, and there were two gardens in the mansion. More than ten pavilions were built with spiritual wood. It was no problem for 500 people to live here. No one could have imagined that there was such a place in such a dilapidated Leopard Jade Palace.
