Chapter 471 Loss

Hua Kai finished talking to Sage Zeng Shen and left with his letter. As a scholar, Sage Zeng Shen did not like fighting. He rarely helped cities other than those directly under Qi. Hua Kai came to the Qi Palace and met the new King of Qi, a middle-aged man who was only in the late Xiantian realm.

"Meet King Huaxia. Thank you for coming to Qi to help. Except for the one directly under Qi, the other eleven counties of Qi are in danger. Sage Zeng is unwilling to help, and the various families in Qi are more concerned about self-protection. Please help King Huaxia. Qi is willing to establish a permanent friendly relationship with Huaxia." King Qi was very humble. Hua Kai saw that there were few people in the Qi Palace, and few guards and palace maids were above the Qi training realm. He also knew that the King of Qi in front of him was just symbolic.

"I will definitely help when I come to Qi. I heard that Qi is rebuilding the White Rod Army Corps. I wonder what the situation is now?" Hua Kai looked at the other party and asked.

Qi's illness can only be cured if a powerful monarch emerges. The noble families are more concerned about their own interests and band together only to protect themselves. When they encounter danger, they hide faster than each other. Although Zeng Shen is powerful, he cannot restrain everyone by relying on Confucianism. He himself cannot take all the responsibilities on himself. He has no responsibility to help Qi drive away all the monsters.

Jindan Realm may also be injured or even die when dealing with monsters. It is not easy for Zeng Shen to protect a county directly under Qi. Hua Kai has been busy this winter with only one county in Hua.

"The Hua family is from Qi. If Qi is in trouble, Huaxia will definitely help. I will help to clear out the six countries and five counties affiliated with Qi. I hope that the two countries can strengthen trade cooperation in the future. I hope that the King of Qi will bear more for the Hua family branch in Qi." Hua Kai said to the King of Qi.

Huaxia cannot help others without asking for anything. Moreover, Qi and Huaxia have not established an alliance relationship. The King of Qi's willingness to establish a good neighborly relationship with Huaxia is not just a word from him. It also depends on the performance of Qi in the future and how much power the King of Qi can have.

The King of Qi nodded and knew that Hua Kai's trip to Qi was a favor to Qi. If he could use this opportunity to improve his relationship with Huaxia, it would also be good for the Qi family. He knew that the Hua family had made great contributions to the Qi family. If it hadn't been for the Hua family helping the deceased father to gain a few years of life, the entire Qi State would have long lost the right to speak, and perhaps it would have been renamed Tian State!

Rejecting the King of Qi's invitation, Hua Kai left Linzi City and went to Donglai County of Qi. From Donglai County to Chengyang County, Donghai State, and finally to Jinan State, he took seven days to drive all the monsters out of the city within a hundred miles. The remaining wild beasts could only be dealt with by the cities themselves.

Every time Hua Kai arrived in a city, he received heartfelt thanks from the people. Many heads of noble families expressed their sincere gratitude for Hua Kai's actions. Hua Kai killed more than ten primary monsters, one intermediate monster, and drove away more than thirty monsters along the way. He was also injured four times. Once he was seriously injured by the explosion of two primary monsters. Thanks to his [Family Secret Space], he could escape into it and used [Zhong Lingdan] to recover from his injuries in one day.

Hua Kai's performance in Qi was recognized by all the people in Qi. Qi began to have more topics about Huaxia and the Hua family. Hua Kai's past history in Qi began to be praised by people. Some people even said privately that if the Hua family could rule Qi, Qi would definitely be a different scene.

It was February, and the countries in the southern part of the Central Plains had ushered in spring. Wild beasts began to return to their own mountains and forests, and the countries began to lick their wounds.

The number of wild beasts outside the cities of Huaxia is also decreasing, and demon beasts rarely appear. This winter is finally over. The policy set by Huaxia this year is to make every effort to eliminate all wild beasts in the country and clear the wolf packs on the grassland trade road. The increase in wild beasts is a test for the entire human race. If the wild beasts retreat, it does not mean that everyone can rest assured. If the efforts to clear wild beasts are not increased, there will be more and more wild beasts next winter.

Huaxia has set a national policy, and the next step is for the three major courtyards to implement it. The Military Affairs Council has increased the intensity of militia training this year, and many resources have begun to tilt towards the militia. Huaxia has now begun to adopt a three-level military system.

The first level belongs to the Azure Dragon Corps and the Vermillion Bird Corps. As the main force in clearing wild beasts in the country, although only half of their gains from clearing wild beasts belong to themselves, this winter has also made the two legions fat.

Hua Kai's requirements for the two legions are to fight and train continuously, and all elixirs, mental methods, and martial arts are supplied. The replenishment of soldiers is given priority. They are the fists of Huaxia.

The second level is the White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Kirin garrison corps. Although they only have 3,000 formal staff, Hua Kai gives them an unlimited number of reserve personnel, and the guardians of several major cities in China are handed over to them.

The reserve corps sets its own training time and intensity each year, and even the soldiers' wages are arranged by each corps. Therefore, the ability of these reserve corps members will be between the militia and the garrison corps.

At the end of February, the long-awaited spring gradually came to the cities. Hua Kai was sorting out the government affairs arrangements and budget allocations of China this year in the study. As long as he signed, the Ministry of Finance would allocate funds and all arrangements for this year would be implemented.

Wu Ren Tuya led Hua Chengmin into the study. Hua Chengmin saw Hua Kai happily throw away his mother's hand and walked over.

"Father, new toys!" Hua Chengmin learned to walk at three months and spoke very fluently at six months. He had an exquisite dragonfly wooden instrument in his hand. I don't know who sent it. Recently, the core members of the Hua family like to make toys for the little guy when they have nothing to do.

Hua Kai held his son and teased him. Hua Chengmin's ability to learn and analyze is much stronger than that of ordinary children. He can learn many things at once, which makes the whole palace more careful in educating him. Everyone firmly believes that Hua Chengmin will become a great king like Hua Kai in the future.

"My king, all the family members are here, waiting for you! Leave the child to the female official!" Wu Ren Tuya said, and the female official came forward and held Hua Chengmin away. Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya came to the family space [Conference Hall] together.

Hua Kai took out a stack of information from his personal space. After the founding of the country, all core members were responsible for more and more things, especially after the wild beasts attacked the city in this winter. The entire Huaxia country had to shift the development focus from economic and urban construction to military construction. If a country cannot adapt to the situation and change the focus of domestic discovery according to the actual situation, then prosperity will not last.

"Everyone is here, let's talk about the losses of each city in winter this year! The Military Affairs Council will talk about the losses of the seven legions first." Hua Kai said.

"This winter, the Azure Dragon Corps lost 812 people, the Vermillion Bird Corps lost 3,508 people, the Yuezhi Cavalry lost more than 100 soldiers in the battle between the Yuezhi State and the Qin State, and the other four corps lost about 800 soldiers." Hua Zichen said.

"The Baoyu Pass and the area outside the pass lost 6,300 civilians, more than 80 houses and shops, more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and the total loss was about 70,000 gold." Yu Jun said.

"The Gaoliu County area lost 1,910 civilians, 14 houses were destroyed, and the total loss was 8,400 gold." Hua Zihuan said.

"The Huacheng area lost 21,000 civilians and slaves, and 340,000 cattle and sheep. It is one of the areas with the largest losses this year. Many [Alfalfa Spirit Grass] were also destroyed by wild beasts, and the loss of trees was also very large. However, the losses were all in the pastures at the foot of the mountain. No monsters attacked Huacheng, and the total loss was about 210,000 gold." Hua Fu reported the losses in Huacheng District to everyone.

"Xiacheng suffered the most attacks from monsters, but because the king supported the clearing many times, the civilian loss was no more than a hundred people, and the loss of shops and houses was not great. However, all the cultivated land needed to be reclaimed this year, and the total loss was worth 2,000 gold." Hua Mo said.

Hua Mo's words surprised everyone. Xiacheng, which is so large, has a population of nearly 600,000. Now it is the world's largest city, and it has only suffered this much loss after a winter. Xiacheng, which is closest to the Dongling Mountains, has delivered the best answer this year.

"Only some pastures in the central area of ​​Yecheng were breached by the wild beasts. The Yecheng defenders rescued in time, and about 2,400 herdsmen and slaves were killed or injured, and more than 60,000 cattle and sheep were lost. Yecheng was not attacked by monsters, and the number of wild beasts was also rare. The total loss was worth about 16,700 gold." Han Jinsheng, now the person in charge of the central area of ​​Yecheng, spoke.

"The 67 cities in the eastern region suffered heavy losses this year. Despite the protection of the [Undead Legion], the walls of various families were breached many times. The whole city staff made every effort to protect the walls, which prevented the city from being breached. The total loss of militiamen exceeded 40,000, thousands of houses were damaged, and the property loss exceeded 300,000 gold." Er Zhuang, as the person in charge of the eastern region, spoke up.

Everyone was silent when they heard this. More than 40,000 people, that is the total population of five cities on average, which means that the population loss in the eastern region is nearly 10%. Hua Kai had already expected this result.

After Er Zhuang finished summarizing, Hua Kai looked at his second uncle Hua Ziqi. Hua Ziqi knew that he could not escape, so he picked up the information beside him and spoke.

"Beishan has suffered a total of 8 monster attacks, the Wild Horse Village was breached, and more than 20 small and medium-sized mountain villages were breached. The population loss was about 70,000 people, but more than 50,000 of them were slaves. Beishan has no foundation-building realm guards, and the loss of assets is worth 480,000 gold." After Hua Ziqi said this, many people were not calm. Why did 50,000 slaves die? Where are the defenders? How did the Beishan area arrange defense? This is the result of Hua Kai's two support.

"I feel that I am incapable and request to be relieved of the position of Beishan's head. The Beishan family has many areas that are too large and complex to manage. It is difficult to provide support when encountering wild beast attacks. Now I can only take care of the three areas of Yema Village, Qicheng, and Beishi..." Hua Ziqi said that some people were whispering to each other. This is the first time that someone in the Hua family has asked to be relieved of the position of regional head. You should know that the regional head is only lower than the dean of the three major academies in Huaxia.
