When Hua Kai returned to Liuqiu Island again, it was already early April. The Lu family prepared more than 60,000 slaves for Hua Kai in just three days, which was enough to show the sincerity of the Lu family's cooperation with Huaxia. They were already looking for a bay suitable for building a large port according to Hua Kai's requirements.
Various stone roads have been built on Liuqiu Island. On the road, Hua Kai has seen that there are post stations to entertain travelers. Pavilions have been built in some key areas here. The set of Huaxia has been moved to Liuqiu Island.
Hua Kai was very satisfied with this. He came to Lingdu City. King Chu and Tang Lei were arranging work in the city. They already knew the achievements of Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya in Luzon Island.
"Liuqiu Island has just started to develop. This year, all areas will be under the control of Huaxia. When the Nanyue Mountains are almost transformed, let Hua Mo go to Liuqiu Island to transform the mountains here. The climate of Liuqiu Island is better than that of the Central Plains. It is easy to cultivate millions of fertile fields here. You can also choose to build a ranch here." King Chu said to Hua Kai.
"Ryukyu Island is a treasure island. We will need it as a transit station for future contact with Java. This time we are going to Luzon Island to build a port. The Lu family has promised to give us enough food. You should pack up as soon as possible and settle us down before going to Luzon Island." Hua Kai said.
"There are hundreds of thousands of troops clearing the Nanyue Mountains. We can't keep up with the management if we leave Ryukyu Island.
Your Majesty, please send more officials and soldiers from Tiantan Island in the next few days. We can also gain a lot of benefits from controlling Ryukyu Island. We can set up a county here again." King Chu said to Hua Kai.
"Well, Luzon Island needs a lot of wood to build a port and a city. There are not many spiritual woods on Luzon Island. I will send more spiritual woods from the [Family Secret Space] in the next few days. Don't let the port and city not be built to the effect we want because of insufficient materials." Hua Kai said.
Hua Kai did not stay in Lingdu City. He and Wu Ren Tuya took the [Sky Chariot] to Tiantan Island, which was already crowded with people.
Huaxia has just started to explore overseas, and many people are still eager to explore the overseas world. Therefore, seeing that they can go to Tiantan Island to search for treasures, many people came by boat.
Hua Kai put down the [Tower Ship] and let all the more than 30,000 people prepared here board the ship to cross the Ryukyu Strait and send them to Lingdu City.
After resting in Lingdu City for a day, Hua Kai put all the spiritual wood brought out by the [Family Secret Space] in a [Spirit Shell]. With the [Spirit Shell], it becomes much easier to transport large quantities of materials.
The speed of the [Tower Ship] is much faster than the [Sky Chariot]. They set out in the early morning and arrived at the [Spirit-Eating Fish] area at noon. Hua Kai saw that the [Spirit-Eating Fish] began to destroy the [Tower Ship]. He [Ice Will] quickly wrapped the [Tower Ship] with his personality, allowing everyone on the ship to quickly drive the [Tower Ship] through the Spirit-Eating Fish area.
Although the distance from Ryukyu Island to Lushun Islands is only 2,000 miles, it is much more difficult than going to Dongxian Island. After leaving the Spirit-Eating Fish Sea, Hua Kai's willpower and mental power have been consumed by more than half, and he drove the [Tower Ship] to quickly pass through the storm area.
After passing the storm area, Hua Kai went to his room on the ninth floor to rest. It was already afternoon at this time, and the people of Huaxia Country did not dare to rest and drove the [Tower Ship] quickly to the south.
When night fell, the [Tower Ship] finally saw the coastline of Lushun Islands. Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya boarded the [Sky Chariot] and approached the coast to negotiate with the indigenous residents. After the [Tower Ship] docked, everyone rested on the [Tower Ship].
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Kai saw many indigenous residents looking at the huge [Tower Ship] on the coast. They could not imagine that a ship could be so big, just like a prosperous city on the sea.
When Lv Zhongyao knew that the Chinese ship had docked at the coast of the Lushun Islands, he brought all the important members of the Lu family to greet it, but seeing such a tall ship of the Chinese country, many people were speechless.
"Hello, Your Excellency!" Lv Zhongyao saluted Hua Kai. This time, he and the people of the Lu family behind him were very respectful to Hua Kai, because they saw teams of soldiers in elite armor lining up to get off the [building ship] and onto the small boat, which was intended to land.
The first to land on the coast were hundreds of soldiers in black armor. Their formation was neat and powerful. Everyone could feel a strong momentum pressing towards them. The people of the Lu family felt that as long as the other party was willing, they would be swallowed up by the other party's powerful momentum in the next moment.
Lv Zhongyao just took a look at this army and saw that the weakest in this army were all in the Xiantian realm. In the Lu family, the Xiantian realm was already the most core existence, but in the Chinese country, they could only be ordinary soldiers?
"Master Lu, we meet again! How do you think my army compares to the elite of Java?" Hua Kai asked when he saw Lv Zhongyao pointing at the people who were landing in the distance.
"How can the elite troops of Java compare with the army of the Venerable? With so many elite troops of China, if Java dares to send troops here, they will definitely be sent back without return." Lu Zhongyao said.
"Your Majesty, all the soldiers have disembarked from the [building ship], and we have set up camp on the beach." King Chu came to Hua Kai and said.
"Master Lu, let me introduce you to this, this is the King Chu of China. He will stay here to preside over the affairs of China in the future. You still need to communicate more." Hua Kai pointed at King Chu and said to Lu Zhongyao.
Lu Zhongyao could feel that the old man next to Hua Kai was very powerful, at least much more powerful than the King of Java. He did not dare to be arrogant and hurriedly saluted the King of Chu.
"Hello, King Chu. I hope that the Lu family will support you more in the future!" Lu Zhongyao said.
"You have good qualifications. The spiritual energy in this place is too thin. It will be easier for you to break through to the Central Plains. I will be here for the next few years. If you have anything, just come to me." King Chu said to Lu Zhongyao.
"Then thank you, Mr. Chu. I have asked people to count the coasts that you have chosen for you. There are hundreds of coasts suitable for building ports in the entire Lushun Islands, but only these two places can accommodate such large ships." Lv Zhongyao took out a map and pointed to the location he found for Hua Kai.
"The southern Balase coast is a deep-water area, where there are large bays that can accommodate large ships. The Latinlan Bay in the east is also good." Lv Zhongyao said to Hua Kai, pointing to the two locations on the map in his hand.
"What about this place?" Hua Kai asked, pointing to the lower right corner of the map.
"This is the territory of the Radtu family. They have one foundation-building realm and more than ten innate realms, and the family population exceeds 10,000..."
"What about this place? This is the best harbor!" Hua Kai pointed to the largest harbor in the middle area of the map and asked.
"This... There are about a hundred islands in this area, of which more than 200 tribes of all sizes, with a total population of more than 300,000. It is the most important area in the Lushun Islands. This is also the largest trading area of my Lu family to the north." Lv Zhongyao said.
"Let's build the harbor here, not into this river. This island is not big, only a few thousand acres in size. It should be good for us to build the harbor here." Hua Kai pointed to a small place.
"This place is OK. This place is called Clay Island. Although it is not big, it is the key to entering Luzon Island. This bay in the north can cover thousands of square kilometers. The place is not bad, but the port cannot be parked here." Lu Zhongyao said.
"Then here! We will build a harbor in the northern bay of Clay Island. Clay Island is the residence of Huaxia Country. We will not let ordinary people land on the island easily.
Now we can talk about building a city. What is the suggestion given by the head of the Lu family?" Hua Kai asked.
"The southernmost side of the Lushun Islands is not far from the ancient city of Maluku in Java. Soldiers from Maluku often take ships to our Lushun Islands area to capture slaves. We have more than 100 tribes here, with a population of more than 200,000. Every year, tens of thousands of people are captured by Java." Lu Zhongyao pointed to the area below the map and said to Hua Kai.
"This place seems good! Then let's go here. We will build the city here. No matter how many people Java sends, it will be useless. That's it!
Regarding the slaves, you can communicate with Chu Jun. I have already handed over all the traded goods to Chu Jun. If you have any questions, you can also ask Chu Jun to tell me.
Tang Lei, the mission of your [Undead Legion] here is to clear and explore all islands, and try not to have direct conflicts with Java. I will come at least once a year to greatly enhance the strength of all tribes and ensure that the Lushun Islands are not invaded by Java.
Today I will go back with the Queen. Chu Jun, you can slowly explore Java. The port construction and urban construction cannot stop. I will not go to the island anymore, and leave you 500 ships." Hua Kai left King Chu, Tang Lei and others here and didn't care. In the future, everything will depend on them. In the expansion of Huaxia's power, there must be many obstacles. The Lushun Islands are a simple test.
Returning to the Central Plains from the Lushun Islands, Hua Kai did not stay in the South Vietnam area, but went directly back to Huacheng, which he had been away from for a long time.
It has been more than five years since leaving Huacheng. 19 princes and princesses of Huaxia have reached adulthood, but none of them have held a coming-of-age ceremony. Huakai and Wuren Tuya are not in Huacheng. Several princes and princesses who are already 23 years old have already established their own residences for many years. Without a coming-of-age ceremony, they cannot get the last 900,000 gold, nor can they get married. This is the royal rule.
On May 1st, Huakai held a coming-of-age ceremony for his 19 adult children, inviting all the sons and daughters of Huaxia's noble families above the third rank, as well as representatives of the five major courtyards to participate. Many young people are waiting for this day, because the adult princes and princesses can already be engaged.
Many princes actually have their own goals. As long as Huakai and Wuren Tuya agree, they can marry with the great families of Huaxia. Huakai does not reject this kind of combination.
And some people who feel that they have strength also want to marry the princess of Huaxia. Huakai has no requirements for his children's choice of spouse, as long as they are willing.
