Chapter 296 Winter is Over

It took the Hua family three days to build a simple river on the top of the flat-topped mountain, diverting all the overflow water from the central lake to the east side of the flat-topped mountain.

While the Hua family was busy diverting the water from the central lake, they were also busy building a formal river. Hua Kai led some family members and slaves to build the Tianma Field.

In Hua Kai's mind, building a horse farm on the [Tianma Field] diagram requires high-level spiritual wood. The spiritual wood used in many places is even higher than level 9, which Hua Kai cannot find. Now he can only use the spiritual wood that the family can collect to build it.

In this way, all the status bonuses of [Tianma Field] will be weakened, but this is also very against the sky.

For example, the status bonuses of the six major areas, the original [feeding area] is to increase the growth rate of horses by 100%. Hua Kai came to a new stable, and the system prompted that the growth rate of horses can be increased by 40%, which is already very abnormal.

You should know that it takes 3 years for a horse to grow to adulthood, and the growth rate of BMW and divine horses is slower. The horses in the [feeding area] can grow up in less than 2 years.

[Horse Racecourse] has a chance to increase the breakthrough of horses and a chance to increase the speed of horses. This does not require much buildings.

[Breeding Area] increases the chance of mutation of new horses by 300%. The required spiritual wood is also of the highest level. Hua Kai can only use 5th-grade spiritual wood as a substitute. As a result, the mutation chance of new horses in [Breeding Area] can only reach 20%.

[Training Area] can originally increase the spirituality and physical training speed of horses by 100%, but now it can only increase by 50%.

[Divine Horse Area] is the most special place here. Hua Kai spent a lot of mental energy to expand the Divine Horse Area from two acres to about 10 acres. Only horses above the BMW level can move in here. The whole area is filled with a lot of special willpower, even people can benefit greatly from it.

This is the most important area of ​​the entire [Tianma Field]. It can be said that it is the core area of ​​[Tianma Field]. All horses can comprehend talent skills here. Because Hua Kai's spiritual wood level is not enough, the system originally prompted "small probability" to comprehend talent skills, but now it has become "extremely small probability".

There is also the last area for breeders, which is the most surprising place for Hua Kai.

There is abundant spiritual energy here, and the recovery speed of mental and physical strength of people in it is 100%, and the learning speed and work efficiency will be enhanced. This area is about 800 acres. Hua Kai even plans to put the family's main residential area in Pingdingshan here.

In short, this Tianma Farm has just started to be built, and its role has completely exceeded Hua Kai's imagination. He asked the housekeeper Hua Fu to organize people to build the framework of the Tianma Farm according to the area he specified, and then put all the horses into the Tianma Farm for unified breeding.

When the construction of Pingdingshan was initially launched, 8,000 people were on the top of the mountain and only occupied a small area on the top of the mountain. Hua Kai supervised the construction of the Tianma Farm while allocating the family generals, servants, and slaves to the three major areas.

The central area is the political area of ​​the Hua family. All personnel allocation and management are ordered from here. Grandpa, Uncle Wu, and housekeeper Hua Fu organized the defense of the checkpoints, patrols, rivers, canals, and winter housing construction.

The west area is the [Tianmachang] area. Hua Kai selected more than 2,000 servants and slaves to build houses in [Tianmachang]. They are also responsible for feeding more than 4,000 horses.

A cold wind blew this day, and everyone realized that winter was coming.

Hua Kai and several servants had just assigned all slaves to the various feeding areas, divine horse areas, breeding areas, racecourses, and training areas, and each area was assigned a fixed servant as the person in charge. At this time, Hua Zichen came over.

"Kai'er, I just entered the family space and found out that our light cavalry had a conflict with the Beishan bandits outside the Leopard Jade Pass yesterday?" Hua Zichen said to Hua Kai.

"Really? Did the light cavalry run to Beishan? How many bandit prisoners were captured?" Hua Kai said nonchalantly.

"Yes, it was Xue Pan who led the entire light cavalry to Beishan. The light cavalry killed and captured more than 6,000 Beishan bandits, and there were no casualties." Hua Zichen replied.

"Well! If there is nothing else, you can stay here first. I plan to go back to Gaoliu City in the next few days to select a group of servants and slaves before winter comes." Hua Kai said to Hua Zichen.

Now Grandpa, Grandma, and Princess Ji Le are all in Pingdingshan. The strategic core of the Hua family has been placed in Pingdingshan. He plans to organize a tribe of 1,000 people and settle down at the foot of Pingdingshan this time, so that the secrets of Pingdingshan can be protected. Try to send the horses that the Hua family does not need in Gaoliu City to Pingdingshan, and buy some cattle and sheep so that Pingdingshan can survive on its own.

Hua Zichen nodded in agreement. With Xue Pan, Tang Lei, and Hua Peng, the light cavalry regiment will not have any problems. They are training near Beishan, which Hua Kai has decided long ago.

Hua Kai rode the [Di Lu horse] all the way to the eastern cliff. Under the gaze of many Hua family members, he jumped off the cliff and rushed to the east.

…

Time passed slowly, and when the winter snow began to melt, Hua Kai was sitting in the house in Pingdingshan.

The winter in Gaoliu County is about half a month longer than that in Guang County. Now it is February 17th and the winter snow has begun to retreat. Hua Kai walked out of this simple cabin and saw that his fifth uncle and several servants had returned from hunting in the west of Pingdingshan.

The number of wild beasts in Pingdingshan in winter is no less than that in Guang County, but with Hua Kai and Hua Zichen, two innate realms, more than 4,000 Hua family servants, and more than 8,000 slaves, as long as wild beasts climbed Pingdingshan, they could kill them quickly.

If they encountered high-level wild beasts that were difficult to deal with, Hua Kai would find a way to lead the opponent to the [Tianmachang] array area. With the assistance of the [Tianmachang] array, he could easily crush any high-level wild beasts. So they did not encounter the monster attacks that everyone was most worried about in the whole winter.

"Uncle Wu, are you going to Dongling Mountains again? Can the [Golden Silk Soft Armor] and weapons of the Light Cavalry Regiment be sent to Baoyu Pass?" Hua Kai asked when he saw Hua Zichen.

A few days ago, Hua Peng brought a lot of building materials with [Spirit Shell], which was in preparation for the construction of Pingdingshan after the spring. When he went back, Hua Kai asked him to send these 1452 sets of [Golden Silk Soft Armor] and 256 weapons to Baoyu Pass. In this way, the Light Cavalry Regiment will have a total of more than 2700 sets of [Golden Silk Soft Armor], and all 408 Qi Training Realm people will have sixth-grade weapons, and the combat power of the Hua Family Light Cavalry Regiment will be greatly improved.

Now the number of Hua Family Light Cavalry Regiment has reached 3000, all of whom were promoted to the Light Cavalry Regiment by the members of the Light Cavalry Reserve this winter.

"It has been sent. The three captains are organizing the distribution of equipment. Now our light cavalry regiment has more than 400 Qi training realms. With this batch of equipment, they are no longer afraid even if they encounter the Xiantian realm!" Hua Zichen said as he threw a white giant fox on the ground. A servant came forward to carry it away. This fox is a high-level beast.

"Well, I will return to Gaoliu County in a few days to prepare the troops of the family to go to the Ordos tribe this year. This year we have to drive the cattle and sheep back from the Ordos tribe, which is not a small matter. This year I plan to let Hua Peng lead the team." Hua Kai said to Hua Zichen.

"This trip will take half a year, so we have to prepare well. What we lack most in Gaoliu City now is cattle and sheep. The people are now working hard to build Gaoliu City. After a few years, when all the cities in Gaoliu County are completed, these people must switch to grazing. There are too few cattle and sheep in our Gaoliu City." Hua Zichen said.

"Yes, I asked Wei Hong to contact the tribes in Linhu grassland and try to buy as many cattle and sheep as possible. I believe that the battle between us and the bandits in Beishan last year will gradually spread in the grassland this year, and the tribes in Linhu country will give us some face." Hua Kai said.

"By the way, Kai'er! Recently, our servants often discuss the name of Pingdingshan. The Light Cavalry Regiment also thinks that their corps can have a good name. This matter must be considered quickly." Hua Zichen suddenly said to Hua Kai.

"It's time to come up with a good name! Tonight is the big gathering of [Family Secret Space], we will discuss the name together then. This year is a critical year for us. The construction of Baoyuguan, Gaoliu City, and Pingdingshan cannot be slow. I asked you to contact Jixia Academy to recruit students to Gaoliu City as teachers. How is your contact?"

"The construction materials for the three cities are already being prepared, at least enough for half a year, but Gaoliu City is out of money again. Yesterday, your fourth uncle wanted to tell you about the daily expenses of Gaoliu County. Now all three places are developing at a deficit. If the expansion speed is not slowed down, the deficit may continue for a long time.

The construction of the new college in Gaoliu City is all in accordance with your instructions. The plan to build four intermediate colleges, one senior college, one adult college, and one ideological education base has been completed. Jixia Academy has already had hundreds of students responding that they are willing to come to Gaoliu County. Now it's still a funding issue. We don't have much money." Hua Zichen said.

When Huajiabao was built before, Hua Kai didn't feel anything. Now that the three cities are being built, money is needed everywhere. The Hua family has established trade relations with more than a dozen families above the sixth rank for wood, stone and other materials. Each trip of [Lingbei] transports materials worth tens of thousands of gold. So far, Hua Kai has given 800,000 gold to his fourth uncle Hua Zihuan, but this 800,000 gold may not last more than the first half of this year.

"Go to Linzi City in a few days! Send what the Sihai Chamber of Commerce prepared last year to [Family Space]. In addition, I will give you a batch of ordinary pills and treasure pills, which may be worth more than one million gold. After the transaction, you continue to order stone and wood, and let your third uncle send people to build a large warehouse. The construction of Gaoliu City cannot stop.

When you come back, bring the students of Jixia Academy who are willing to come to Gaoliu County. According to the treatment I told you, 20 gold per year for students from 100 families, at least 100 gold for students, and 500 gold for everyone willing to come. Don't be afraid to spend money. As long as the other party is willing to come, it is worth spending any money," Hua Kai said.

Only Hua Kai could feel the benefits of the Hua family's massive construction. From last year to now, the Hua family's prosperity value has reached 22,000 points, and the family's luck value has increased by more than 2,000 every day. This winter, he distributed a total of more than 40,000 pills, and he used up nearly 20% of them on space elixirs.
