Chapter 282 Competition among the Six Families

The meeting lasted for a whole morning, but no one felt tired. Everyone was thinking about the role their family might play in Gaoliu City in the future. At noon, Hua Kai hosted a banquet for all the family heads to have lunch together. Many family heads lowered their heads to discuss, especially the heads of the six ninth-grade families, and even discussed with some families that were close to them, which department they should strive for in the afternoon.

After lunch, Hua Kai asked the other family heads to go down and rest. He brought the heads of the six major families to his main living room. The division of power must be determined today, because this may determine the focus of the future development of the six major families. When they go to Gaoliu City, they may have to choose some special families and talents to bring with them.

The Hua family is delegating power. Maybe many of the subsidiaries that belong to the Hua family now will not be bothered to manage in the future, and will be handed over directly to the six major families. Now that the future rights and obligations of the six families are determined, it will help them cultivate their own power.

"Six major departments, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Construction, City Defense Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and Personnel Management Department. Each department is assigned to you six families. When you arrive in Gaoliu City, you must quickly play the role of each department. The personnel used can be selected by everyone in Gaoliu City, including the Hua family, but if any family fails in their duties, I will directly find your family head." Hua Kai released his innate spiritual power, and the six major families bowed their heads and dared not speak. They did not expect Hua Kai to be so powerful before he was 20 years old, but then they thought about it and felt excited.

With Hua Kai's talent as the first saint of Qi State, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the Jindan realm in the future and lead the Hua family to become the eighth first-class family in the world. At that time, his own family will definitely benefit, just like now.

"For the six major distributions, in order not to hurt the harmony, each of you write down the department you want to be responsible for on a piece of paper. If two families choose the same department, I will determine the final distribution based on the strength of your six families." Hua Kai said.

This distribution is of great significance. It is said that it will be rotated for three years, but it is unlikely that a family will change the head of another family just after it has stabilized in a department.

Unless a family does a bad job in a department, or a department suddenly has great benefits to gain.

The six families looked at each other and silently wrote down the department they wanted to be responsible for. After everyone finished writing, they handed the note to Hua Kai. Hua Kai took a look and found that the result was not much different from what he expected.

The Jia family chose the Ministry of Commerce. They used to be responsible for the commercial transportation of Guang County, and now it is the most suitable to manage the business of Gaoliu City. Business is one of the main sources of income for the Hua family every year. They are responsible for the wholesale, business, and store management of the entire Gaoliu City. In the future, they will no longer have to worry about lack of money.

The Ren family, the Huang family, and the Yue family all chose the Ministry of Construction. The Hua family likes construction the most, and the funds spent on construction every year are hundreds of thousands of gold. The Ministry of Construction is responsible for the planning, design, transformation, and construction of the entire Gaoliu County. The resources and manpower required are countless. If they get this department, many affiliated families will rush to join them.

The Tai family chose the Personnel Management Department. In the future, all officials in the city will be appointed through their hands. At the same time, they will also be responsible for the construction and management of Gaoliu City College, which is also a very powerful department.

The Yi family chose the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department. No matter where the development of agriculture and animal husbandry is placed, it is the most core and critical. The Yue family saw that in the future, Gaoliu County pasture allocation, taxation and other matters related to agriculture and animal husbandry were all their responsibility.

The Finance Department and City Defense Department, which were favored by everyone, were unexpectedly not chosen. After seeing the choices of all the noble families, Hua Kai tore up the note in front of them.

"The Jia family will be responsible for the Commerce Department of Gaoliu County in the future, the Huang family will be responsible for the Finance Department, the Ren family will be responsible for the Construction Department, the Yue family City Defense Department, the Yi family will be responsible for the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, and the Tai family will be responsible for the Personnel Management Department. After returning home this afternoon, everyone will prepare for it. We will start before the end of August." Hua Kai decided the future development direction of the six noble families with one word.

In the end, whether they chose the department they wanted, only the heads of each family and Hua Kai knew.

Huang Guangqi looked reluctant. The Huang family was originally in the timber business. If they could get the important position of the Ministry of Construction, they would not only get many families to flatter them, but also receive huge amounts of money every year.

But now the Hua family has given the Finance Department to the Huang family. This Finance Department looks good and manages the money of the entire Gaoliu City, but to be honest, this money is just to help the Hua family manage it. Who dares to embezzle it?

After sending all the heads of the family away, Hua Kai saw that his uncle was unhappy, so he took him back to the main courtyard. Seeing this, his mother happily ordered a few dishes from the restaurant for the two of them, and two pots of fine wine for them to talk at home.

"Uncle, why are you unhappy about the Huang family being assigned to the Finance Department?" Hua Kai looked at Huang Guangqi and said with a smile.

"How can I be happy about this? Among the six major departments, the Finance Department may be the most glamorous department on the surface, but actually the least powerful department!" Huang Guangqi said with an unhappy face.

"The population of Gaoliu City exceeds 60,000. When all the Hua family's subordinates move to Gaoliu City, the population may be close to 100,000. The finances of such a large city are very large numbers. How can such a large amount of funds be said to be useless?" Hua Kai shook his head and said.

Huang Guangqi's eyes turned when he saw Hua Kai saying this: "Are you saying that the Huang family can still operate this money? Hearing you say this, other families must have opinions..."

"Uncle! All the money in the Finance Department must be collectively discussed by the seven major families before it can be used. Each family has the right to propose the method of using funds. Every year, the Finance Department must make a budget for Gaoliu City. As long as it is a good deal, uncle, you say it, basically no one can refute it! After all, you are the God of Wealth for all of us!" Hua Kai said with a smile.

"This, how to do it! Nephew, you have to give your uncle some advice!" Huang Guangqi said hurriedly when he heard this.

"There are so many things that money can do. As long as it is for the good of Gaoliu County, and the money paid can get proportional benefits, it is a good thing.

Let me give you an example. You see, there are more and more caravans heading from Guang County to Gaoliu City. They send a large amount of goods to Gaoliu County, get gold and silver, and then have to transport them back with great effort. And we have gold and silver caravans sent to Gaoliu City every day. Without the circulation of these gold and silver, our Gaoliu County cannot develop."

Hua Kai said, Huang Guangqi listened quietly. Seeing that he did not respond, Hua Kai could only continue.

"The Hua family can make a lot of special papers. Can we issue some certificates to the caravans so that they can take them back to Guang County City and exchange them for gold and silver, so that we don't have to work so hard to send gold and silver back and forth?"

"What does this have to do with the Finance Department?" Huang Guangqi asked puzzledly.

"This is a big deal! If you want this paper voucher to be exchanged for gold and silver, can you open a bank in both places? We have to charge some handling fees for the bank? Then when everyone gets used to using this silver note and doesn't exchange it for gold and silver, will we have a large amount of money in the bank? We can use this money to build cities, the army, and cultural education.

If more than half of the other families agree, we can also lend the money from the bank to some people who need money and have collateral, so that everyone gets used to using silver notes..." When Hua Kai said this, Huang Guangqi's face was full of excitement.

"We need to verify the annual budget of the five families. As long as the suggestions are feasible, they will definitely not offend the Huang family. At that time, the method of using silver notes instead of gold and silver will definitely be feasible... But, the Huang family doesn't seem to get any definite benefits in this way!" Although Huang Guangqi was very satisfied, he still said.

"Uncle, with money in hand, the easiest thing is to make money. When there are more people borrowing money, the way to make money will come naturally. But at that time, the Hua family will send people to supervise and will not let you use the right of money indiscriminately. I will set a bottom line, and whoever crosses it must be punished." Hua Kai said.

The economic order in this world is still very weak. If the uncle tastes the power of capital, he is likely to step into the abyss step by step, so Hua Kai must constrain him sufficiently under constant guidance. If the funds in Gaoliu City can be circulated in the form of silver bills, it will greatly promote the development of the entire Gaoliu County! Therefore, it is inevitable for the Hua family to open two money houses.

Hua Kai told his uncle about the things that must be paid attention to when opening a money house, and Huang Guangqi left happily after listening.

In the afternoon, all the affiliated families of the Hua family began to move, especially the six major families. According to the different departments of Gaoliu City they were responsible for, they began to win over the families with specialties in the department. All the affiliated families of the Hua family were moving around, and the small families also wanted to get more power and industry. Soon most of the ordinary families joined the six major families. In the future, the Hua family only needed to manage the six major families.

On the third day after returning home, Hua Kai got up in the morning and went to the martial arts training ground to do morning exercises with the family servants. It had been a long time since he participated in such morning exercises. This made many family members very happy to see him, and he worked harder in the morning exercises than before.

After the morning exercises, Hua Kai selected 20 family members. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he brought 20 family members to the main courtyard. When these 20 people finished the trial, it was almost noon. At this time, a family servant came back to report that representatives of new families in Guang County City were visiting.

Hua Kai met the representatives of the new families in Guang County City in the main living room. They all seemed polite to Hua Kai, but they didn't look down on him in their hearts! As a new family, even if they develop well, their foundation is still insufficient. In their eyes, the Hua family is just a nouveau riche.

Hua Kai didn't care about these. He asked the other party about their intentions and politely rejected the invitation of the other family. He said that he would try to start the migration before September, and only 2,000 people would be left in Huajiabao and Guangxiancheng Restaurant.

The other party left happily after hearing this. They didn't want to have a conflict with the Hua family at the last moment of the power transfer.
