Chapter 352 Heading West

After Hua Kai finished teaching his disciples, he asked his direct disciples to write a short story and hand it in to him within a week. The registered disciples could hand it in to the direct disciples for comments.

There is a big difference between direct disciples and registered disciples. Direct disciples represent the teacher's inheritance. The teacher will pay a high price for them. Therefore, there is a saying that a teacher is a father for life.

The registered disciples only have the qualification to audit, and do not have the right to ask questions or be instructed alone. Most of the time, they ask the direct disciples for advice.

This class is of great significance to all the disciples. It is the first time they have heard that writing can be explained in such detail. As long as they learn the key points of the long article described by the teacher, then everyone present can actually learn to write a long article. You must know that only students and above can write a long article in the past.

"Teacher, I have discussed with several junior brothers and hope to build an academy. Nowadays, there are more and more families in Gaoliu Academy. Many students and apprentices want to learn but have no way. When the news that you have become a great master spreads to all parts of the Central Plains, I believe that many families will come from afar." Although Cao Ziang is the youngest among Hua Kai's disciples and his strength is only at the Great Perfection of Qi Training Realm, Hua Kai designated him as the first disciple, and everyone present must follow him.

"Okay, all expenses for building the academy will be applied from the Gaoliu City Finance Department. I can be the dean of the academy, but all affairs will still be handled by you." Hua Kai returned.

Although the middle-class families of the ten and nine streams are not valued by the aristocratic families, their number is no less than that of the Confucian families. In the future, there will inevitably be more and more families gathered in Gaoliu City. Establishing a special academy can not only promote the school, but also better maintain the order of Gaoliu City.

Entering September, Hua Kai checked that the family culture value has reached 4618 points, which is less than 400 points away from completing the main task. At the current rate of the Hua family's cultural value improvement, it will take less than a month for the Hua family to be promoted to a fourth-grade aristocratic family.

Yesterday, Hua Kai investigated more than 300 prisoners of war above the Qi training realm who were sent back from the Donghu Kingdom. Most of them were remnants of the Donghu King's Cavalry. What he didn't expect was that these Qi training realms, including one Xiantian realm, did not have strong hatred for the Hua family. Their loyalty was positive, which made Hua Kai very difficult to understand.

Originally, he wanted to kill them directly, but seeing this, Hua Kai planned to give them a chance and send everyone to Huacheng to help Xu Hua farm. They couldn't make any waves in the spirit gathering array.

Riding on [Di Luma], Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya walked on the grassland. The family affairs were dealt with. The Qinglong Legion was now completely suppressing the Donghu King's Court. The academy was now under construction, and he could also go to the grassland.

Er Zhuang brought news from the Wuzhumuqin tribe. The Great Yuezhi Kingdom invested 350,000 soldiers and 400,000 slave soldiers this year, but it still failed to completely occupy the Small Yuezhi Kingdom. If the Great Yuezhi Kingdom bled to death in order to take over the Small Yuezhi Kingdom, then even if it won in the end, it would not mean much.

Therefore, he planned to go to the grassland as soon as possible and check the construction of Beishan. Now that the threat of Donghu Kingdom has gone, the entire Beishan has completely become the territory of the Hua family. Beishan is an important place for the Hua family with a smaller population than Gaoliu City. Hua Kai has not really visited Beishan.

It took only more than an hour for [Di Luma] to arrive at Baoyu Pass. Wu Ren Tuya rode [Chuanyunbao] to keep up with [Di Luma] without any pressure. When they arrived at Baoyu Pass, they saw that thousands of acres of grassland outside the south of the pass were all carriages intending to return to Gaoliu City. These few days were the days when the grassland merchant group returned.

After entering Baoyu Pass, the two did not stop. They drove towards Beishan after leaving the pass. On the way, the fifth uncle's convoy was rushing from Beishan to Baoyu Pass. Because they heard the news that Donghu Kingdom had been defeated by the Hua family, all the merchant groups were more casual when driving outside the pass. Many of their caravans dared to go to business with several carriages and ten people, which made the outside of Baoyu Pass very lively.

Following the convoy, Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tu Ya came to Beishan. The main road here was obviously repaired. The gravel road more than ten meters wide was easy for the carriage to walk on. As soon as Hua Kai entered Beishan, he saw a mountain stronghold on the hillside in the distance. The Hua family servants lived here, with a total of one thousand people as the gate of Beishan.

After passing this military camp, it was very lively. There were rows of houses on both sides of the road. Many shops were in business. The caravans stopped here. These were also controlled by the Hua family.

Following a road heading south, Hua Kai rode for more than ten miles and saw many mountain strongholds here. There were farmlands around the mountain strongholds. Some caravans rested in these mountain strongholds. Hua Kai saw some affiliated family members who knew him greeted him, and he smiled and responded one by one.

The Hua family built three major camps in Beishan. Although the two sides of the road were prosperous, the buildings were simple. This was to prevent Beishan from being attacked and the Hua family could not resist it and evacuate quickly.

Arriving at the mountain stronghold [Qicheng] where the Hua family mainly developed, it was very well built.

[Qicheng] was the name given by the second uncle Huazi. In fact, it was a mountain stronghold area built on the hillside. There were tens of thousands of members and slaves of the Hua family living here. This was Hua Kai's control hub in Beishan.

Outside [Qicheng], there were newly reclaimed farmlands everywhere, and family patrols were patrolling around. Here, in addition to resisting the wild beasts that might appear in the south, they mainly had to defend against the wolves that could be seen everywhere in Beishan.

Hua Kai looked at it from a distance and did not intend to enter. He went to the [Yema Village] on the west side of Beishan for a walk. This place was smaller than [Qicheng], but many merchant groups that had just come from Donghu rested here, and it was no less prosperous than [Qicheng].

After resting for a night in [Yema Village], the person in charge was a special servant of the Hua family. The other party gave Hua Kai a detailed introduction to the current development of the Hua family in Beishan.

There are about 300 mountain strongholds in Beishan now. After the Hua family controls only three major areas, they meet with the heads of other mountain strongholds once a month. When the original residents here first started, there were often disturbances. Now that the Hua family has defeated the Donghu Kingdom, more and more Gaoliu County families have built their own mountain strongholds here, and those original residents can no longer make trouble.

Beishan is the most important transit station for the Hua family to trade in the grassland, and it is also one of the important directions for the future development of the Hua family. All mountain strongholds are still under rapid construction this year, and will become the bridgehead for the Hua family to trade in the grassland in the future.

The next morning, Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya began their journey to the grassland. They ran all the way quickly. [Di Lu Ma] had Hua Kai's endless true energy support. It took only two days for them to reach the Ordos tribe.

Hua Kai did not notify Xue Chen in advance. When they rode to the outskirts of the Ordos tribe, the entire Ordos tribe was on guard. The Ordos tribe had been attacked by masters twice this year. When Hua Kai revealed his identity, the chief Tie Fa had already come.

"Brother Huakai, you are finally here! This is... my sister-in-law! I heard that the princess of the Ujumchin tribe is the most beautiful pearl on the grassland. Today I see that it is true. Please come into my tent and have a chat. I will have someone prepare a dinner!" Chief Tiefa said happily when he saw Huakai.

"How is the situation in the Xiongnu Kingdom this year? I heard that the northern Xiongnu tribe has organized attacks on the Ordos tribe several times. How much loss did the tribe suffer?" Huakai asked.

"Now more than 70% of the tribes in the entire Xiongnu Kingdom have surrendered to the Ordos tribe, and only the five major tribes in the north are still holding on. The Ordos tribe has lost many members of the royal family, but it does not affect the situation of the entire Xiongnu Kingdom. Now there are 11 people in the Xiantian realm in my tribe, but I cannot break through the foundation building realm. It is very difficult for the tribe to unify the Xiongnu Kingdom." Chief Tiefa said.

Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya came to the Ordos tribe. He talked about the Ordos tribe with the chief Tiefa. In just 8 years, the Ordos tribe has grown from a medium-sized tribe with a population of 50,000 to a large tribe with a population of more than 100,000, 200,000 slaves, and hundreds of subordinate tribes. Its total power is spread throughout the central and southern parts of the Xiongnu country, and its controlled population has exceeded 1.3 million.

You should know that the Linzi City of Qi State has only more than 400,000 people, the population of the directly affiliated area is more than 800,000, and the total population of the six countries and five counties is more than 2 million. The power of the Ordos tribe alone is no smaller than that of an ordinary second-grade country.

In recent years, the Ordos tribe has been exporting spiritual medicines, strange stones, furs, animal bones and other materials to the Hua family. The development of the Hua family to its current level is inseparable from the Ordos tribe.

After more than ten minutes in the king's tent of the chief Tiefa, Hua Kai saw Xue Chen coming.

"Meet the head of the family!" Xue Chen saluted Hua Kai.

"Yes, you have done a good job in the tribe, and your cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm." Hua Kai looked at Xue Chen and praised him.

Xue Chen is now one of the most important retainers of the Hua family. Although the Xue family has not built a mansion in Gaoliu County, and even Xue Chen's sister is still a maid for Hua Kai's mother, everyone knows that the Xue family will become one of the most powerful families in Gaoliu County in the future. Some families have already contacted Xue Pan and Xue Chen. If Hua Kai is willing, Xue Chen can become a sixth-rank family at any time.

"It is my duty to share the worries of the lord. Many people in the Hua family stronghold know that the head of the family has arrived and want to see the head of the family. I wonder if the head of the family is passing by or staying here for a while." Xue Chen reminded.

As the head of the family, Hua Kai can only be loyal to Hua Kai. In recent years, Hua Kai has rarely come to the Ordos tribe. This is not conducive to the loyalty of the members of the stronghold and slaves.

"I plan to stay here for a while, and then go to the Wuzhumuqin tribe. After solving the Wuzhumuqin tribe's affairs, the two of us will go to the western part of Dayuan. We will discuss the details tonight!" When the leader of the Tiefa tribe heard Xue Chen call Hua Kai the lord, his expression could not help but pause. He did not expect Hua Kai to have established his foundation so quickly. The Ordos tribe had an ally at the foundation-building level, and they would no longer be in a passive state when facing the northern tribes of the Xiongnu.
