Chapter 281 Hua Kai's Courage

Seeing that all the heads of affiliated families came to Huajiabao the day after he returned home, Hua Kai met them one by one.

What they were most concerned about was when to migrate and how many rights and obligations they could be allocated to Gaoliu County, because the way to make a living in Guangxian City might not be useful in Gaoliu County, such as the timber business.

When he came to the main meeting hall, Hua Kai saw hundreds of heads of affiliated families of the Hua family waiting here. At the top were the six sixth and ninth grade families affiliated with the Hua family. They were all waiting for Hua Kai's arrival.

The relationship between families is actually the relationship between two heads of families most of the time. Only Hua Kai can express his intentions to represent the will of the Hua family, and their coming to Huajiabao today is also to show their family's attitude towards the main family.

Hua Kai, Hua Xing, Hua Fu, and Hua Zijie entered the VIP hall at the same time. Everyone stood up and greeted Hua Kai when they saw this.

Hua Kai sat in the front seat and looked at the order of seats of the affiliated families below. The six great ninth-grade families ranked in the top six, followed by the Wan family, Chen family and other families. It was the Geng family that ranked after 30th place, which surprised him a little.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time!" Hua Kai really meant that he had waited too long. Since the Hua family said they were going to Gaoliu County last year, they have been preparing. The new mansion in Gaoliu City has been built almost. As the backbone of everyone, Hua Kai actually showed up for the first time.

"Master Hua has not changed at all in four years. You are now the famous son of Qi State, so we can understand that Master Hua will not leave again when he moves to Gaoliu County this time!" Master Jia looked at Hua Kai and said loudly.

"I don't plan to leave again this time..." Hua Kai said that he would not leave again, and everyone was excited. As long as Hua Kai was there, it seemed that all difficulties became easier, and everyone's hearts could come together more easily.

"I know everyone is anxious. Recently, at a special moment of power transfer in Guang County, many families have lost their previous industries that supported their survival, which makes everyone very uneasy."

When Hua Kai said this, no one spoke. Hua Kai always spoke simply and directly. He could tell the key to the problem in one sentence and tell everyone the most correct way to deal with it.

"Hua Kai left Guang County under certain external pressure, but the main reason was that Gaoliu County was more suitable for the Hua family. Many people may not know that the Hua family now has five people in the Xiantian realm..."

When Hua Kai said this, many people started to quarrel again. Most of them knew that the Hua family had more than 100 people in the Qi training realm, but they did not expect that the Hua family had five people in the Xiantian realm. In this way, the Hua family also has certain strength in top-level combat power, and will no longer be fully suppressed when facing the sixth-grade and above aristocratic families.

In fact, the Hua Family Group already has the strength to fight head-on with the new aristocratic families, but judging from the attitude of the Hua family, there is no intention to compete. Most of the people present have decided to follow the footsteps of the Hua family forever. Many of their families have sent some family members to Gaoliu County to make advances.

Those who were still a little hesitant, after hearing this, calmed down. The future environment of Guang County City can be predicted. The more noble families participate, the more chaotic it will be. The possibility of Linzi City getting involved is greater. After arguing for a while, everyone is just making wedding clothes for the big noble families. It is better to follow the Hua family.

Seeing that everyone has settled down, Hua Kai began to talk about what everyone is most concerned about. So many noble families and clans followed the Hua family. What benefits will they get? How will they survive? This is what they care about.

"The five great families, Hua, Ren, Huang, Tai, Yi, and Yue, have been rebuilding Gaoliu City since last year. Now the population of Gaoliu City has exceeded 60,000, and the scale is larger than Guang County. You all follow our Hua family to migrate to the northern grasslands. The Hua family will definitely not let you down."

"First of all, the construction of each family's mansion. In addition to what the Hua family promised, each ordinary family can choose five acres of inner city land, and the noble family can choose 50 acres. All other inner city land will be sold first to the families present. You can discuss the specific area with our housekeeper slowly." Hua Kai's words revealed a meaning. Gaoliu City belongs to all of us. Even if other noble families come in the future, the right to use the land will always be in our hands.

The most important thing for all families in this world is land. A family with land is guaranteed.

"Second, all outer city areas will be mainly commercial, and all noble families will no longer participate in the retail of goods in Gaoliu City. All families present have the right to divide all the shops."

When Hua Kai said this, everyone couldn't help but quarrel. This commercial trade is the economic foundation of a city. The Hua family handed over all the shops to ordinary families. Is this because they are afraid that the six noble families will affect their status?

Everyone who thought of this couldn't help but shake their heads. Five of the six ninth-grade noble families affiliated with the Hua family were supported by the Hua family. The Hua family could not have the intention to suppress the six families such as Jia, Ren, and Huang, because with the current strength of the Hua family, there is no way to use the means of suppressing the affiliated families to consolidate their position.

The six noble families were not in a hurry. At this point, they could clearly feel the importance of a family to develop external relations. More money is useful for a family, but the effect is limited. Since Hua Kai took their right to do business, he must have his deep meaning.

"I plan to set up a council in Gaoliu City led by the Hua family, with the participation of the Jia family, the Ren family, the Huang family, the Tai family, the Yi family, and the Yue family. The seven families will discuss the development plan of Gaoliu City together. At that time, the Gaoliu City Commerce Department, Finance Department, Construction Department, City Defense Department, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, and Personnel Management Department will be established. The seven major families will discuss and decide the responsible members of the six major departments..."

At this point, the crowd was completely boiling. The Hua family wanted to share the control of Gaoliu County, no, Gaoliu City, with the six major families. These six major departments were obviously prepared for the six major families, and the interests involved were huge.

Everyone was envious of this. When the heads of the six major families heard this, they were also weighing which department they would be more suitable for.

"The heads of the six departments will serve for three years. Whether they will continue to be re-elected after three years will be decided by the seven noble families."

"Finally, the standing army of Gaoliu County will be established. All noble families and family members are willing to sign up. The specific requirements for joining the army and the salary will be decided by the collective discussion of all the noble families and families present. As for the military expenditure, the Hua family, the Gaoliu County Finance Department, and the families present will be responsible for it together." Hua Kai said this and there was constant discussion in the audience. He looked at everyone quietly and stopped talking.

Everyone present thought that the Hua family would seize the military power if they co-governed Gaoliu City with the six noble families. Unexpectedly, they did not want the military power in the end. How could the interests of the Hua family in Gaoliu City be guaranteed? At this time, some people thought of Baoyuguan. Could it be that the Hua family wanted to vigorously develop Baoyuguan and make Baoyuguan the private territory of the Hua family? In this way, they would face the pressure from the grassland alone, which would not be worth the loss!

"Master Hua, may I ask if this city defense garrison department has full authority to manage all the garrisons of Gaoliu City, and does the garrison belong to the standing army sequence?" The head of the Jia family spoke at this time.

"Each city's standing army is responsible for the defense of the city. They are under the command of the Hua family and are responsible for all military expenses. The standing army handles all the wars in Gaoliu City. In addition, the Hua family has built its own light cavalry, which belongs to the Hua family's special tribe." Hua Kai said so that everyone understood.

The garrison power is in the hands of the Hua family, so the city still belongs to the Hua family, but the Hua family allows all the aristocratic families to participate in the management. The standing army is the spear and shield of the entire Gaoliu County. The participation of each family is to protect themselves. The key is the final sharing of military expenses. The amount of military expenses determines the strength of the entire standing army.

"Kai'er, what is the power of this city defense defense department?" Hua Kai's uncle Huang Guangqi asked.

"The main task of the city defense defense department is to build city defense, purchase and reserve city defense materials, and urgently summon all the young and strong men in the city to conduct military training for at least one month every year, so that they can form a defense at any time when Gaoliu County encounters danger." Hua Kai replied.

Everyone heard that the power was really great. Not to mention that it would cost a lot of money and manpower to repair the city wall every year, how much benefit could the family bring if everyone had military training for one month every year! It can be said that getting this position would bring a lot of money and connections.

"Master Hua, I wonder how many people are there in the garrison and standing army? Is the staffing of the standing army the responsibility of the Hua family, or is it decided by the seven major families?" At this time, Jia Teng, the head of the Yue family, spoke up. In such a place, perhaps only he dared to ask Hua Kai this question!

"The Hua family has formed an elite cavalry, with a tentative number of 3,000 people. The number of garrisons in Gaoliu City and Baoyu Pass is 1,000, and the number of reserve troops is 1,000. The salary of the reserve troops is halved, and only 15 days of training are required per month.

The number of standing troops is 5,000. The Hua family will take out 10,000 gold every year for the construction of the standing army. Gaoliu County will add military expenses according to its own financial situation. We will discuss and allocate the total amount of contributions from the major families and families every year. How much all the families will contribute in the end, and the Hua family will make up for it." Hua Kai replied loudly to everyone.

Ten thousand gold is enough for 5,000 standing troops. Hua Kai actually wants the finance department to contribute money together with the families. This means that the standing army will become stronger and stronger in the future. As for how much money each family contributes, it may be related to how much everyone contributes. Some families can actually consider taking the military route.

Hua Kai answered every question of everyone, and everyone could already imagine what Gaoliu County would look like in the future.

The Hua family gave Gaoliu City, the core of Gaoliu County, to all the noble families and families for joint management. This kind of boldness shocked everyone. In addition to the Hua family's powerful military strength, the most important thing behind this is his confidence in the future of the family.

The Hua family now has more than 10,000 servants, and most of them have entered the Kaiyuan realm. He checks the list of family members every day and finds that no new Qidong realm is produced every day. After a few days, there will be natural promotion to the Qi training realm.

As the Hua family continues to grow stronger, Hua Kai also has a little worry in his heart. If he has an accident one day, the family may slowly lose control over these powerful family servants. Therefore, he has not planned to select some high-quality slaves in the past few years. Improving the strength of the affiliated families can also be regarded as a balance of power for the servants.

Jia, Ren, Huang, Tai, Yi, and Yue are all affiliated families certified by the system, so Hua Kai is relieved. Supporting the six families can not only help the Hua family manage Gaoliu City, but also establish a competitor for the Hua family servants, making it easier for the Hua family to manage.
