Chapter 456: Capital of China

Lian Po worked hard to manage the last pass of Zhao at Kanghou Pass. He went to Shuo County many times and saw that the walls of Shuo County were built stronger than the pass by 10,000 Qin soldiers, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking Shuo County.

On October 2, Lian Po was preparing to go to Huacheng, Gaoliu County to attend the founding ceremony of the Hua family. At this time, he suddenly received news that the 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State who had taken a detour from the Qiang tribe were about to return.

Also traveling with them were the 6,000 Yiqu soldiers who survived the three-year bloody battle and fled for 20,000 miles. They were riding more than 70,000 horses and only had half a month left to return from Kanghou Pass.

These 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State were not simple. They were the most elite soldiers left after the elimination of 80,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State. They were much stronger than the 20,000 elite cavalry of Kanghou Pass. As long as these 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State could return, together with the 6,000 Yiqu soldiers who came back together, Zhao State would still be a powerful country.

It was originally thought that the world would suddenly fall into chaos after Jing Ke assassinated Qin, but it was unexpectedly peaceful. Chu did not attack the hinterland of Guanzhong, Qin's soldiers were stationed in Guanzhong and seemed to be planning to recover their vitality first. Everyone was waiting for news about Qin Zheng. His injury determined the future direction of the world.

Hua Kai in Huacheng had just returned from a month-long inspection in Xiacheng and Yecheng.

After Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Hua Kai did not stay in Huacheng all day. In fact, he was always worried that Qin Zheng would attack Huacheng. If he had [Sweeping Clouds Clothes] to remove the will imprisonment and [Heavenly Horse Field] to increase his will and restore his true energy, he might be able to fight Qin Zheng with [Imprisonment Talisman]. At that time, even if the "Journey to the West" he was fighting against was damaged, he would have to repel Qin Zheng, because there were many things in Huacheng that Hua Kai did not want too many people to know.

Xiacheng is now on the right track. With 400,000 people in the city and nearly 200,000 people outside the city, Xiacheng has now become a huge city larger than Xianyang City. It can produce more than one million stones of grain every year outside the city, which has relieved a lot of food pressure on Gaoliu County.

Hua Kai personally watched the second blind date conference in Xiacheng on September 9. This time, more than 3,000 Hua family maids participated in the blind date conference, but in the end only more than 800 people chose their satisfactory partners. This year, because the reputation of the Hua family maids has become more famous, the number of men participating has increased by more than 30% compared with last year, but the proportion of men who can successfully take away the Hua family maids is still very small.

The annual blind date conference in Xiacheng has become a grand event in Gaoliu County. Hua Kai originally planned to change the place of the conference every year, but after discussion, everyone still felt that it was best to stay in Xiacheng, because Xiacheng is a multicultural city with a mixed population. As the most populous city in Gaoliu County, the blind date conference is the most lively in Xiacheng.

By October, Yecheng was nearly halfway done. The wall was only 8 meters high and 6 meters wide, which was relatively short for such a large city. Because it was located in the central area of ​​Gaoliu County, the risk of war was the lowest, so Hua Kai planned Yecheng as a crowded industrialized city.

30,000 Yuezhi cavalry wanted to come back recently, and 20,000 Zhao elite cavalry were about to return to Kanghou Pass. They no longer needed help. Lian Po was able to stabilize the situation in (later) Zhao. Hua Kai heard Bater's military report and ordered him to go to Qin's Xiaoguan. He always felt that Qin would not weaken like this, so he had to continue to contain most of Qin's elite troops, otherwise it would be too late to stop it if he found Qin showing its fangs again one day.

The return of these 30,000 Yuezhi cavalrymen to the Yuezhi Kingdom is also a deep exchange of relations between the two countries, because many of the 30,000 Yuezhi cavalrymen who followed Wuren Tuya to marry Gaoliu County have studied at the "Huajia Military Academy" which has been renamed [Huaxia Military Academy]. Many of their weapons and equipment have also been fully updated. When they return to the Yuezhi Kingdom, they can also discuss and exchange elite cavalry combat methods with their former comrades, so that the two countries can deepen their influence.

Hua Kai came out of Xue Yiyu's bedroom in the early morning and saw his mother and Wuren Tuya coming to find him. The smile on his mother's face could not be hidden. Hua Kai guessed that there must be a happy event at home.

"Tuya, why did you come out? Your belly is so big, don't walk around." Hua Kai came to Wuren Tuya and touched her big belly and said.

"I think the child should be born in the near future. My mother told me to walk more. Did you rest well at Xue Yiyu's sister's place last night?" Wuren Tuya looked at Hua Kai and asked with a smile.

Hua Kai could feel a hint of jealousy. At this time, Xue Yiyu just came out to see Hua Kai off. Seeing that everyone was there, he came over to salute Huang Shuyun and Wu Ren Tuya.

"We are here to tell you good news. Qiao'er confirmed that she is pregnant yesterday. You are going to have a second child! You said that Qiao'er is also very hardworking. You have stayed in Xiacheng for a month this year, and she can get pregnant. Send someone to bring Qiao'er back to live today!" Huang Shuyun spoke to Hua Kai.

When Hua Kai heard that Hua Qiao'er was pregnant, he counted on his fingers and calculated that the child was a daughter and would be born around mid-September next year. This child was obviously a normal child. Hua Kai dared not have another child like Wu Ren Tuya's belly. It has been two years and three months since the pregnancy, and it has not been born yet. It makes people nervous all day long.

Qiao'er's pregnancy was also a happy event for the Hua family before the founding of the country. When Huang Shuyun heard that Hua Qiao'er was pregnant with a daughter, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared by half. She was looking forward to the Hua family having many children and grandchildren!

Entering October, more and more caravans returned to Gaoliu County from the grassland. All major workshops in Yecheng have started to work at full capacity. The Hua family sent 4,000 maids to Yecheng, and organized more than 20,000 civilians and slaves to enter workshops such as wool, leather clothing, and equipment manufacturing. The population of the entire Yecheng has exceeded 50,000, and is still increasing by thousands every day.

Hua Kai asked the Suzaku Corps to take charge of the defense of Yecheng first. At the same time, they needed to clear out all the wild beasts in Gaoliu County, because all the cities in the eastern part of Gaoliu County were managed and organized by the affiliated families themselves. The Suzaku Corps rarely needed to clear out the eastern part, and the Suzaku Corps's tasks were much easier than before.

The entire Gaoliu County entered a joyous celebration. For the first time, Huacheng was open to everyone, whether it was the affiliated families of the Hua family or the envoys who came to congratulate, they could enter and exit Huacheng at will from October, but the inspection procedures were still necessary, and some restricted areas in Huacheng could not be entered at will.

After more than a year of reconstruction, Huacheng has built a magnificent palace on hundreds of acres in the west of the central lake. The central lake has been expanded several times and now covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres. A 15-meter-high ship is parked in the middle of the lake. The lakeside is full of various shops, all of which are built with ancient spiritual wood. Various precious pills and magic weapons are sold here. There are luxurious restaurants, teahouses, spiritual rice shops, and spiritual fruit shops. When you come here, you will know what rich people are.

To the west of the palace is the Tianma Field, and to the north of the Tianma Field is a pavilion area surrounded by spiritual trees. The pavilions here are sold to the various families affiliated with the Hua family. The cheapest pavilion is more than 3,000 gold, and you can only buy it with the approval of the Hua family.

Even in the civilian areas in the east of the central lake and the south of Tianmachang, all houses are built with unified spiritual wood. [Green-skinned plums] are planted at the door of every household, and spiritual medicines are planted in the yard. No one who can live here has a qualification lower than C level. Huacheng has a total population of 170,000, and the number of women exceeds 120,000. When you walk on the street, you can see beautiful women wearing silk and wool clothes everywhere. If you see ugly ones, they are mostly members of aristocratic families.

In the afternoon of October 1st, guests from Huacheng began to arrive. They visited every place in Huacheng and were curious about everything here. They also deeply felt the strong foundation of the Hua family.

After October 2nd, more and more visitors came to Huakai. The Hua family had to empty some houses. Huacheng did not ban night. Every night, the central lake was brightly lit, and the boats in the lake were decorated with lights. After knowing that this tall boat was the embodiment of Huakai's masterpiece "Water Margin", everyone spent money to go up and take a look.

Envoys from Qi, Yan, Chu, Lu and other countries have arrived. Hua Kai received them personally. Each country sent its own prince or prime minister. Hua Kai asked the core members of the family to take these envoys around Huacheng, especially the [Tianmachang] area.

When the Hua family founded a country, they must be fearless of challenges. From now on, the Hua family will inevitably become the focus of the world. These secrets can no longer be hidden and there is no need to hide them. The Hua family has the strength to protect all of this.

Hua Kai believes that after the Hua family founded a country, the entire Central Plains will be surprised by the strength of the Hua family. The changes brought about by this should be more beneficial than harmful to the Hua family. What the Hua family lacks now is reputation and network of relationships.

The Qin representative has never arrived, which makes everyone sure that Qin Zheng has been seriously injured. Qin's absence from the Hua family's founding ceremony is a precious diplomatic opportunity. If there is no very serious matter, Qin will not send an ordinary official.

On October 8th, the entire Huacheng was decorated with lights. The colorful lights on the [building ship] were on until dawn. The small boats kept going back and forth between the building ship and the shore. The children in Huacheng had already had their holidays, and they were playing in the streets in new clothes.

The three major courtyards of Gaoliu County and the main members of all the affiliated families had arrived. In just ten days, the population of Huacheng increased by more than 50,000. On October 9th, the housekeeper of Huafu told Hua Kai that all the shops and entertainment venues in Huacheng had earned a total of 2.7 million gold in the past nine days. Some people also selected a large number of horses and BMWs that the Hua family was willing to sell in the Tianma Field. The opening of Huacheng by the Hua family will be accompanied by a rapid growth in strength.

Hua Kai did not enter the [family space] at night. He rarely entered it these days. Just at midnight, Hua Kai felt that someone quietly entered the [Tianma Field] tonight. This time there were three people in the group, and all three of them were in the foundation-building realm. Hua Kai remembered that these were envoys from the Song and Cai countries. The three of them came to the Shenma District.
