Chapter 370

 

Hua Kai was suspended in the air above the central lake. He could see that the golden dragon that soared into the sky was just a phantom. The golden dragon flew into the air and turned into countless golden lights, and then disappeared in the air.

Along with the water column in the sky, a faint white mist rose over the entire Huacheng. Huacheng and the area within a radius of 100 miles began to drizzle. The drizzle was filled with strong spiritual energy. As time went by, the spiritual energy in the air became thicker and thicker. Many people stood in the rain and watched everything that suddenly appeared.

At this time, everyone in Huacheng was not happy. The flying water column fell from the sky, and many houses were washed away. Some people unfortunately fell at the point where the water column fell and were washed away by the flood. The rivers and streams in the entire Huacheng had entered high water levels, and all the grass began to be soaked. Huafu Butler began to organize everyone to drain water to various places, while Hua Kai was busy activating the [Tianma Field] to absorb the spiritual energy in the air. This opportunity was rare.

The water column began to get lower and lower. After two hours, it was only a few dozen meters high. The rain and fog in the air began to gradually dissipate, but everyone in Huacheng was still dealing with the accumulated water in the family. Many people continued to widen the main river to the east in the rain, so that more water could be discharged from here to the foot of the mountain.

Some slaves were washed away by the flood, and there were Qi training realms to rescue them. The whole Huacheng looked embarrassed, but everything was still under Huakai's control.

Huakai watched the water column slowly fall back to the central lake, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't feel any danger approaching, which meant that the scene in Huacheng did not attract the attention of those above the foundation building realm.

"Master, the spiritual energy in Pingdingshan is more than twice as strong as before, and the spiritual energy in this lake also carries a trace of spiritual energy. Drinking this water is very beneficial to the human body, and using it to irrigate ordinary plants will make them grow quickly. Our Huacheng should be no worse than the legendary blessed land now." Xu Hua was tired and his face was green and yellow. He was tired because he was trying to increase the spiritual energy of the [Gathering Spirit Array]. But when he saw the muddy water flowing away from his feet, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"This flood has caused a lot of impact on Huacheng, and the spiritual fields should have suffered a lot of losses. Now that the spiritual rain has stopped, you should go back and take a look." Hua Kai said to Xu Hua.

"Haha! Master, you don't have to worry about this. There are nearly a thousand spiritual trees in the spiritual fields now. These waters can't cause too much damage to the spiritual fields. At most, some spiritual rice will be lost." Xu Hua said with a smile.

Xu Hua just directed the [Spirit Gathering Array] to absorb Huacheng's spiritual energy, which greatly increased the spiritual energy in the [Spirit Gathering Array]. Now the concentration of spiritual energy in the array has exceeded 70% of the maximum spiritual energy level, which is not much different from the previous Huajiabao. The mist floating above the spiritual field is a mixture of liquefied spiritual energy and water vapor, providing spiritual energy for all plants in the spiritual field to grow.

Hua Kai's mental power is much stronger than Xu Hua's. The spiritual energy he controls to absorb [Tianma Field] is also much greater than Xu Hua's. The spiritual energy of the entire [Tianma Field] has surpassed the [Spirit Gathering Array] in Huajiabao, but Hua Kai can feel that the spiritual energy in this [Tianma Field] is still far from saturation.

The flood in Huacheng looks fierce, but the damage caused is actually very limited. It is just the destruction of some houses. In the end, the total loss was only more than 100 people injured and one person died.

On the third day, everything in Huacheng had been restored. The main river to the east was expanded to more than ten meters wide, and the entire river water began to slowly become clear. The excess water in the central lake was all diverted to the east side of Pingding Mountain. The housekeeper Huafu had already taken the servants to the foot of the mountain. While trying to divert the water, they planned to build the surrounding area at the foot of Pingding Mountain into the appearance of Huacheng water network. By then, there would be more than one million acres of lush grassland at the foot of Huacheng.

The process was tortuous, but the result was gratifying. The more lush the water and grass at the foot of Pingding Mountain, the more cattle, sheep and people could be fed, and the deeper the secrets of Huacheng were hidden. The aristocratic families or clans like the Huang family in Gaoliu City actually knew in their hearts that Huakai had a secret base, but they didn't know the location of the base, let alone that the population of Huacheng, including the foot of Pingding Mountain, had exceeded 100,000.

In the morning, Huakai went to the spiritual field. All the spiritual trees in the spiritual field were intact, and there was basically no loss of spiritual medicine. It was just that the loss of spiritual rice was a little bit large, and a lot of spiritual rice in many spiritual fields was washed away.

At this time, Hua Xing brought several servants to Lingtian. He came to tell Hua Kai that Hua Fu had already led people to explore the terrain around Pingding Mountain. The rivers and canals have been dug today. They have already assigned more than 30,000 people in Huacheng to go down the mountain. Together with more than 50,000 people at the foot of Pingding Mountain, they will spend the whole year to complete the canal plan.

"Let people run a few more times and use [Lingbei] to transport some stones. The rivers at the foot of the mountain can also be reinforced with more stones. In addition, some trees can be transplanted at the foot of Pingding Mountain. There is a spiritual river at the foot of the mountain, and it is very easy for trees to grow. While we are building Huacheng, we should also consider the pasture at the foot of Huacheng." Hua Kai said to his grandfather.

Hua Kai said so. In the evening, Hua Xing passed the message to other core members of the family. Everyone knew the changes in Huacheng and couldn't help but be surprised by the luck of the Hua family. It is not a problem to add millions of acres of high-quality grassland and feed 300,000 more people.

"The assessment of the families in Gaoliu County has been completed today. I plan to return to Huacheng tomorrow. The Qinglong Corps just sent back more than 20,000 slaves and prisoners of war from the Donghu grassland a few days ago. I will bring back another 20,000 slaves from Gaoliu City. The Pingding Mountain must be built as good as Huacheng.

Tomorrow I will ask Hua Peng to deliver stones to Huacheng. We must seize this opportunity for the Hua family. As long as this million acres of grassland is built, Huacheng will surpass Gaoliu City and become the first city of the Hua family." Hua Zichen said.

The others nodded after hearing this. As time went by, everyone saw the importance of Huacheng in the Hua family. The political center, military center, and cultural center of the Hua family began to move to Huacheng. If the water resources of the central lake were used well, Huacheng's strength would inevitably increase a lot.

The flood in Huacheng gradually passed, and everyone began to return to their previous life trajectory, but most of the population of Huacheng was transferred to the foot of the mountain to build canals, and it seemed a little deserted than before.

In the afternoon, Uncle Wu came back and took out a booklet and handed it to Hua Kai. It contained the current strength of the major affiliated families and clans of the Hua family. They were ranked according to the number of people, combat power, economy, industry, cohesion, and merits of each family. After reading the names of these families, he nodded gently. This ranking was similar to what he expected, except that the strength of some ordinary families was developing rapidly, and they were no weaker than some of the six major families.

"Notify all the heads of the families and clans on the list to gather in Gaoliu City Huafu on May 1st. The ranks of all the families and clans will be announced on May 1st, and unified canonization will be carried out on May 2nd!" Hua Kai said.

"Okay, I will have someone pass the news to the affiliated families later. How is the Xue family now? They did not apply for the family, but many families have followed them. The Song family of Qi is not weak, and has a large network of relationships in Qi. They have already joined the Xue family. What do you plan to do with the newly migrated families such as the Song family and the Shi family this time?" Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai and asked.

"The Xue family now has two innates, and they are both core members of the Hua family... You should communicate more with Xue Pan and let him manage his affiliated families. The Xue family is also sparsely populated, which is why so many people choose to rely on the Xue family. The Song family and the Shi family can give them the family rank they deserve, but they must make up for the family industry as soon as possible."

Hua Kai's words mean a lot. The Hua family is willing to let the retainers leave the Hua family, willing to see the retainers build their own forces, and willing to accept foreign families and families into the upper decision-making group of Gaoliu County. This attitude has a far-reaching impact on the future development of Gaoliu County.

"Okay, I know! If Gaoliu City knows this, the strength of many families will inevitably develop rapidly, and the number of families that can build cities in the eastern part of Gaoliu County will increase. They will raise more funds to cultivate family talents, so that their families can be promoted to sixth-grade families." Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai and said.

"I feel that I have successfully built my foundation in the past few days. The strength of the subordinates loyal to the Hua family must be improved rapidly to keep up with the development needs of the Hua family. We cannot completely control everything in Gaoliu County. Relying on servants to manage the family is not a long-term solution. After the subordinate families are enthroned, let all the servants of the Hua family return to Huacheng in batches." Hua Kai said.

The Hua family has become a behemoth, managing a population of 800,000, which has surpassed the State of Lu. Hua Kai must consider the future of the Hua family from a higher position. Relying on servants will naturally continue for a long time, but Hua Kai will slowly reduce his dependence on servants step by step and cultivate the Hua family's own people as soon as possible.

The future Gaoliu County is best to be a world where the Hua family's direct lineage is the core, and the Hua family's branches, servants, subordinate families, ordinary families, and schools of thought coexist.

"Fifth uncle, I have a blueprint here for you to see!" Hua Kai took out the [Crossbow Cart] blueprint from his personal space and handed it to Hua Zichen.

Hua Zichen knew at a glance that this was a spiritual array diagram. There were countless precision parts in it that were pieced together to form a powerful weapon to kill the enemy. This was the first time he had seen such a device.

"This has very high requirements for [spiritual wood], and there are some special metal parts. The quality of the spiritual wood may determine the quality of this [crossbow] vehicle. If this weapon can be built, it should be enough to shoot and kill the Qi training realm." Hua Zichen checked the material requirements and assembly of the [crossbow vehicle] and said.

"Not only that! When all the parts are pieced together according to the requirements of the drawing, put this [crossbow vehicle] spiritual array diagram into the combined weapon, many arrays will be activated. We use purple gold to make all the metal components. This weapon makes it easy for the Qi training realm to control and shoot the innate, and it can also have a certain lethality to the foundation building realm.

I hope you can have someone record this drawing and see if we can build a second [crossbow vehicle] based on this drawing." Hua Kai's tone was full of expectations.
