Hua Zihuan introduced the achievements of Gaoliu City to everyone. It is a long project to complete the expansion of such a large city as planned, but now that each family has a place to stay in Gaoliu City, as long as the construction materials keep up, Gaoliu City will become more and more prosperous.
Hua Kai hopes that the Hua family can get out of the tedious city management. After all, this world should be based on family strength. As long as the Hua family's combat power becomes stronger and stronger, the stronger the affiliated families develop, the more they will rely on the Hua family. This is like a country is never afraid that its domestic companies are too strong.
The Hua family has too many secrets, which are also the key to their future development. When they come here, Hua Kai can give full play to them. In the future, the Hua family will focus all their energy on these directions that can guarantee the status of the Hua family and continue to grow the family's strength.
Hua Kai affirmed the contributions of the first batch of people who arrived in Gaoliu City earlier, and agreed with their efforts and hard work. At the same time, he asked the housekeeper Hua Fu to record the contributions of everyone and give them certain rewards and compensation in the future.
When everyone had a good understanding of Gaoliu City today, Hua Kai looked at the heads of the six major families below and asked about their future plans. You should know that Hua Kai has delegated most of the power of Gaoliu City to them. If they do not do well, the Hua family will directly take away their power, and even take back their family privileges.
"Master Hua, the Jia family has contacted many chambers of commerce such as Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Dongjin Chamber of Commerce, Jiulong Chamber of Commerce, etc., and has prepared a transport team of more than 3,000 carriages to provide all the materials for construction and life for Gaoliu City.
In addition, we have hired hundreds of managers from various families and plan to build a [Business House] in the outer city within three months and ten large warehouses in six months to ensure the storage of commercial goods and Gaoliu City's living materials and food. As for the management of the outer city shops, livestock markets, talent markets, and the planning of the commercial district in the city, we are already doing it. The specific plan will be discussed and decided by the council in the end."
The head of the Jia family was well prepared. When Hua Kai asked, he stood up and came back.
"In the future, you, the fourth uncle, will still be the representative of the Hua family in the Gaoliu City Council. Although the Hua family has delegated power, it does not mean that they will not care about anything. Fourth uncle, you must do a good job of supervising the six major departments, establish the Gaoliu City Supervisory Office, and send members of the Hua family to the six major offices to supervise the personnel allocation, work progress, and whether there is any dereliction of duty. If you find that you must remind and correct it as soon as possible, and if you cannot correct it after repeated reminders, you must report to me." Hua Kai said to Hua Zihuan.
Hua Zichen nodded and agreed. Everyone had no objection to the Hua family's establishment of the [Supervisory Office]. After all, Gaoliu County belonged to the Hua family, and it was normal for a Hua family subsidiary family to be supervised.
After the other five families finished their plans, everyone present had already understood the future power framework of Gaoliu City. Hua Kai asked everyone to leave, leaving the six major families and fourth uncle Hua Zihuan to remind them of the issues they missed.
"In the future, the Gaoliu City Council will be established in this Huafu. The Council will be the highest administrative body in Gaoliu City. If there is anything, the seven of you will discuss and decide together. If you encounter any difficult problems, please notify me. All accounts of each mansion must be open and transparent. If corruption is found, it will not be forgiven!
The monthly council will be held at the beginning of the month. I will select 20 respected people to participate in the audit. Each mansion will do a good job of monthly work reporting. Please arrange someone to organize the report and hand it over to me every month!" Hua Kai said.
After everyone left, Hua Kai called his fourth uncle to the living room of the main courtyard. The construction of this main courtyard is no worse than that of the main courtyard of Huajiabao. It can be seen that Hua Zihuan has also put a lot of thought into it.
"Kai'er, the biggest problem of Gaoliu City now is the lack of supplies. Although the Jia family has made preparations, I am afraid it is still not enough. Whether it is the construction of the inner city or the special building you requested, Gaoliu City needs a lot of stone and wood. Most of our building materials are brought by your fifth uncle from the [Family Secret Space] every day. Now that the six major prefectures have been newly built, Gaoliu City's population has increased by half, and more stone and wood are needed." Hua Zihuan said to Hua Kai.
"I know this. The Gaoliu City transport team has been transporting stone and wood from Ci'an, Fangcheng, Wuyang and other places, but this is still too slow for the huge construction of Gaoliu City. The transport team can only transport twice a month at most, which is far less fast than the [Family Secret Space]." Hua Kai said.
"Yes, and we often encounter horse bandits and wolf packs on the road, which requires a large number of guards to escort us. In addition to the main buildings of the family, we can only use the traditional earth house construction method here. These earth houses are no problem in sheltering from the wind, but there is a risk of collapse in heavy rain for a long time." Hua Zihuan said.
"There are solutions to these problems. I have a treasure here, named [Spirit Shell]. It has a space of 100 meters in size. Anyone above the Xiantian realm can use it at will. In addition to Xu Hua, our family has 6 Xiantians. The 6 of us have divine horses to ride, so traveling a thousand miles a day is not a problem.
You contact the Jia family to build a large warehouse in a place rich in stone and wood. After purchasing all the materials early, we will send people to transport them back. One transportation is more useful than a hundred transportations by the transport team." Hua Kai said as he took out the [Spirit Shell]. This [Spirit Shell] is like a small decoration without the input of true qi.
Hua Zihuan took the [Spirit Shell] and studied it carefully for a while but didn't figure it out. He is now also an A-level qualification, but he has not broken through the Xiantian feeling after entering the Great Perfection of Qi Training Realm.
Hua Kai decided to wait until everyone settled down, and then he would let the Hua family absorb the results accumulated by the family in the past few years. There are now more than 60,000 spiritual medicines and more than 4,000 various strange stones in the [Family Secret Space]. It's time to slowly digest the results of so many years.
In the evening, the members of the Hua family met in the [Family Secret Space]. Everyone was excited to know that the family had all moved into Gaoliu City. Gaoliu City was completely different from Guangxian City. Even if the Hua family actually controlled Guangxian City, Guangxian City would not belong to Hua Kai without the permission of Linzi City.
In Gaoliu County, the Hua family was the king. Everything here belonged to them. No one would doubt the Hua family's rights in Gaoliu County.
"Xue Pan, tell me about the Donghu cavalry outside the Northeast Great Wall! How many troops are there on the other side, and when can the war end?" Hua Kai first asked Xue Pan about the war on the North Great Wall.
"There are not many Yan cavalry outside the North Great Wall. They are all small and medium-sized tribes. When winter comes, they secretly cross the border to attack the civilians of Yan who are building the Great Wall. Many people have been captured, and many grain transport vehicles of Yan have also been robbed by them. However, after we came, we cleared more than a dozen teams of 100 people who crossed the border, and the other side has gradually come to order!" Xue Pan said.
There are three Xiantians in total, and with the Hua family's most elite 500 light cavalry regiment, it is easiest to deal with these bandits who rely on speed to escape. If the North Great Wall is fully built, the Hua family will no longer have to worry about the Donghu bandits harassing them from the northeastern border.
"In this case, you hand over the cavalry regiment to Tang Lei and Hua Peng tomorrow, and go back to Gaoliu City. There are more important things for you to do.
Fourth uncle, you should make arrangements with the Jia family tomorrow, and let Xue Pan bring back the required stones and wood as soon as possible, and try to meet the construction of Baoyu Pass first! Baoyu Pass's defense is too poor, and all city walls must be built with stones. According to the new plan, the city wall will be raised to more than ten meters, and the houses and arrow towers inside the pass will be built first." Hua Kai said.
Xue Pan and Hua Zihuan nodded in agreement. The defense of Baoyu Pass determines the future stability of Gaoliu County, and it cannot be sloppy at all. Now the population of Gaoliu County exceeds 110,000. Because cattle, sheep and horses are scarce, most people still have nothing to do. They have to find jobs to live. This is just right to survive the period of underdeveloped animal husbandry in Gaoliu City in recent years, so that all the people can have something to do.
"Uncle Wu, how is the war at Baoyu Pass? Are the Beishan bandits still hanging around outside the pass?" Hua Kai asked.
"They tried to attack the pass a few days ago, but there was no siege equipment and more than 2,000 people died. Now they are quiet again. They want to leave, but since they are here, how can our light cavalry let them leave like this?" Hua Zichen said.
"Old Wu, these Beishan bandits are likely sent by the Donghu Kingdom to test us. It is best to leave them all. It will be much easier for us to pass Beishan next year. The Donghu Kingdom does not know our true strength, so it dare not easily engage in a full-scale war with us. Our main opponent in Gaoliu County is still the Donghu Kingdom." Hua Xing said at this time.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The attitude of the Donghu Kingdom towards the Central Plains would not change easily. They would still regard the border of the Yan Kingdom as their most important hunting ground, and Gaoliu County would bear the brunt of it. Baoyu Pass was the key for the Hua family to fight against the Donghu Kingdom.
"Now that our Hua family's main force has arrived, I can bring 5,000 cavalry to Baoyu Pass for support tomorrow. It will be easy for us to take down the opponent with nearly 10,000 cavalry. If we take down these 20,000 Beishan bandits, we will not only have more than 10,000 coolies, but Beishan will lose 30,000 combat forces, which will become insignificant." Hua Kai thought for a while and said.
The Beishan bandits are said to have 300,000, of which only 60,000 or 70,000 can fight at most. Without these 30,000 combat forces, the entire Beishan bandits will lose their strength to advance, and the Donghu Kingdom will lose a sharp blade. The influence of the Hua family will slowly spread outside the pass, which is crucial for the Hua family to expand the scale of grassland trade in the future.
All members of the Hua family have arrived in Gaoliu County, so the expansion of the Light Cavalry Regiment has become simple. Hua Kai plans to station the Light Cavalry Regiment at Baoyu Pass first. Before the big plan in his mind is completed, the Light Cavalry Regiment will continue to roam outside Baoyu Pass for training.
When everything in Gaoliu City was settled, Xue Chen got a very strange message from the Ordos Tribe. Some big families of Yiqu State rebelled in the north of Qin State. They could not tolerate the high-pressure policy of Qin State. Many big tribes of Linhu State and Xiongnu State were involved. Now almost all Qin soldiers in Yiqu State have been driven away. It seems that no one in Qi State knows this news.
