Hua Kai collected the [Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaves]. This kind of spiritual treasure-level medicine has powerful effects. The main function of [Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaves] is to clear the eyes and clear the mind. It can treat any eye disease.
Hua Kai returned to the [Family Space] and saw Xue Chen here.
"Master, I'm glad you're okay. I can't enter the stone tablet. How are you now?" Xue Chen asked.
"I entered a secret realm with many spiritual trees. There are no large creatures here. It's very safe. I saw many special spiritual trees and spiritual fruit trees. I have encountered several seventh-grade spiritual trees. Now how to bring these things back is a problem." Hua Kai said.
"Can't it be transported to the space? Just like before, keep it in the [Family Space] first, and wait for Kai'er to come back and we will transplant it to Huacheng?" It was Grandpa Hua Xing who stayed in the [Family Space] today, he asked.
"There are a lot of spiritual trees here. There are no less than a thousand spiritual fruit trees alone. There are so many spiritual trees. [Family Space] is definitely not possible." Hua Kai hesitated.
"How about I go back to Wujumuqin tribe first, and then you, the head of the family, can teleport all the spiritual trees to Wujumuqin tribe little by little, and then we can find a way to teleport back from Wujumuqin tribe?" Xue Chen said at this time.
"No, Xue Chen, it's too dangerous for you to cross the Death Desert alone. You may not be able to escape if a monster appears at random. Kai'er said that monsters will use their own willpower to confine space when they attack, and you can't escape into the [family space] at all." Hua Xing said.
Hua Kai also nodded after hearing this. It is not worthwhile to sacrifice a future core of the Hua family for these spiritual trees. The six large storage spaces in the [family space] should be able to store thousands of spiritual fruit trees. In addition to the dozen or so seventh-grade spiritual trees, he will collect some of the others and teleport as many as he can through his fifth uncle.
After making the decision, he returned to the secret realm of spiritual wood. He carefully dug out the spiritual fruit trees one by one, and then carried them into the [family space]. Uncle San and Yu Jun also came in at this time. They began to pile these spiritual fruit trees together and contacted Uncle Wu Hua Zichen to send some pots in.
Hua Kai dug out all the spiritual fruit trees and sent them to the [family space], and gave them to everyone to take out. It took a total of five days. He found that all the spiritual fruit trees in this space had been transplanted by himself.
There are more than 1,200 [green-skinned plums] in total. Among them, except for one mother tree, there are 14 [green-skinned plums] trees that can produce third-grade spiritual fruits, 198 [green-skinned plums] trees that can produce second-grade spiritual fruits, and the remaining 1,000 [green-skinned plums] trees can only produce first-grade spiritual fruits. They don't know how many generations of that mother tree they are.
In addition, there are 24 [Beast Oil Fruit] trees. This kind of fruit tree is not tall, and it bears many fist-sized black fruits, but the inside is golden oily fruit juice. Hua Kai tasted it and it tasted a bit like pineapple, but the taste was stronger. This is a second-grade spiritual fruit. Eating it is mainly to improve the quality of true qi. There are many recipes using [Beast Oil Fruit] in the [Alchemy Room].
There is only one last kind of fruit tree, the [Coconut Fruit] tree. The fruit on the ninth-grade spiritual tree is the fourth-grade fruit. Hua Kai saw that the fruit on this spiritual tree was not yet ripe, and the tree was about ten meters high, so he could only send it back to the [Family Space] first.
After transplanting all the spiritual fruit trees, Hua Kai began to transplant the seventh-grade spiritual trees. Some of these spiritual trees were too tall to fit in the [Family Space]. Hua Kai could only divide them into several pieces and send them to Leopard Jade Pass through his uncle. When the [Family Space] was almost full, Hua Kai began to focus on the large number of sixth-grade and fifth-grade spiritual trees here.
He first cut down some sixth-grade spiritual trees and gave them to Xue Chen, asking Xue Chen to slowly transfer them with his uncle in the [Family Space]. They cut down trees for two consecutive days. The two spent most of their time every day transferring spiritual trees in the [Family Space]. The value of these spiritual trees is inestimable. Each spiritual tree is a number of sixth-grade or fifth-grade weapons. The Hua family can completely take off with these spiritual trees.
The little monkey has lost interest in this spiritual wood secret realm. He stays in the [Family Space] all day to play with everyone and no longer follows Hua Kai to the spiritual wood secret realm.
This time, Hua Kai installed four fifth-grade spiritual trees with a diameter of 30 cm and a length of more than six meters in his personal space. These spiritual trees can make at least 20 fifth-grade weapons. After handing the spiritual wood to Xue Chen, Hua Kai just exited the [Family Space], but felt a strong [Wood Rule] force in the space wrapped him up, and he was teleported out of the secret realm.
Hua Kai found that he had returned to the Death Desert. He used his mental power to probe into the stone tablet, but the stone tablet had no reaction, just like an ordinary stone. He tried to pick up the stone tablet and put it back into his personal space, but the stone tablet did not move at all.
"It seems that everyone can only enter this secret realm once at most. I can encounter it entirely because of the little monkey. I have obtained so many high-level spiritual woods, enough for the Hua family to build an army. All the auxiliary medicines of [Hundred Deaths and Resurrection Pill] have been found. The remaining medicines are easy to find. As long as this furnace of immortal pills can be refined, it is worth it no matter how much it costs." Hua Kai thought.
Without being able to teleport spiritual wood, Hua Kai's stay here is meaningless. He and Xue Chen rode eastward on horseback. Whenever the little monkey came out, they would go to take a look. But along the way, they mostly encountered some small oases, which were guarded by some low-level monsters. Without natural treasures, Hua Kai was too lazy to fight with these monsters. They quickened their pace and started to go home.
At this time, Gaoliu County had already survived the severe cold. Last year, the weather was good and the cattle and sheep in Gaoliu County grew very well. Because the Hua family had already started selling green fodder, the cattle and sheep and horses of the families that had the conditions did not lose weight seriously in winter. In addition, with the millions of cattle and sheep obtained from Donghu last year, there are now new pastures everywhere in the entire Baoyu Pass.
Hua Zihuan has collected more than 100,000 gold in the past few days just for the "pasture deposit". The entire Gaoliu County grassland has been almost occupied. The Hua family has begun to plan whether to agree to some people to graze outside Baoyu Pass, but without Hua Kai's approval, this matter has not been decided.
In the early spring of this year, Gaoliu City has added many more slave training colleges, because all families have also seen that the performance of slaves who entered the ideological education college is much better than that of slaves who did not enter. In Gaoliu County, the main labor force is slaves, so many families suggested to the Hua family to open more ideological education colleges. These days, the Hua family servants are busy doing it.
When the snow outside the pass began to melt, the Qinglong Corps left Gaoliu County and went to the grassland to find trouble with the Fenghu family.
Last year, the Qinglong Corps destroyed the Donghu King's Court, seized more than 200,000 slaves and more than 100,000 prisoners of war, which made the total population under the rule of the Hua family exceed 800,000. The population in Gaoliu City was also more than 300,000, which seemed very crowded. Some people wanted to build a few more cities in Gaoliu County.
After several years of construction, Gaoliu City, Baoyu Pass, and Huacheng have now reached the final stage. This year, many Lu family craftsmen will be idle, and many slaves will have nothing to do, which is also a burden for the Hua family.
After hearing what his fourth uncle Hua Zihuan said, Hua Kai also felt that Gaoliu County should build another city, but where should this city be built?
"This year, more and more merchant groups from Yan State, Qi State and other countries have come to Gaoliu City. Everyone knows that the gate of Baoyuguan is open and they can trade with the grassland. I think our new city should be built on the southern border of Baoyuguan, so that we have time to react when the southern part of Gaoliu County is attacked." Hua Zihuan said.
"If we build a city in the southern part of Gaoliu County, there will definitely be more pastures there, which is also good for digesting the 400,000 slaves in Gaoliu City. However, our biggest problem is that there are too few people, the power of the noble families is not strong enough, and the rule over slaves needs to be improved. Can we attract a group of people from the Central Plains or even noble families to come here?" Hua Zichen said at this time.
"The Hua family should build a city in the southern part of Gaoliu County. If the Central Plains goes to war in the future, we have to be more or less prepared. The establishment of a new city is also very important for the merchant groups of southern countries. Then let's make it certain and start the construction of the new city this year." Hua Kai thought about it and decided.
But the construction of a new city is not just a matter of words. Where in the south should it be built? How big should it be built? The functions of the city must be considered.
After Hua Kai decided to build a city, everyone started discussing the plan. After a few days, Hua Zihuan finalized the preliminary plan.
The new city was built on the main road of the southernmost border of Gaoliu County to guard against possible attacks from the south. The city is designed to have a resident population of 100,000, mainly focusing on commercial development and animal husbandry development, and serving as a transportation hub from Gaoliu County to the Central Plains.
"I think we should be more confident. The development of the Hua family in the past ten years has been faster than that of many families in the past hundred years. We already have 22 innate realms, and our strength is not inferior to some second-grade families. The focus in the future must be on the Central Plains. The role of the new city in the future may be greater than that of Gaoliu City. The city scale is built to the standard of 300,000 people." Hua Kai said to everyone.
Everyone was surprised when they heard it. A city with a population of 300,000 is a world-class city. If the Hua family builds such a large city, it must have the strength to compete with the world's top strength.
"For the construction of the new city, half of the elites from the seven departments of Gaoliu City will go to the new city to do preliminary planning. You, my fourth uncle, will be in charge of the overall planning. Xue Pan, you will take the [Spirit Shell] and be responsible for the transportation of all construction materials. I hope that the new city can have a preliminary outline in two years. The focus of the Hua family in the next few years will be on the construction of the new city.
In addition, after the family assessment in March, all the sixth-grade families will be given the right to build a city on their own. The construction site will be arranged on the east side of Gaoliu County and the border with Yan State. The families applying for the city construction need to come up with a city construction plan, and the city can only be built after the Hua family reviews it." Hua Kai said.
"Then Kai'er, what is the name of our new city? We can't always use New City!" Hua Xing said on the side.
"The new city... Let's call it Xiacheng!"
