When Huang Guangwen heard that Hua Kai wanted him to go to the Southern Kingdom to help buy medicine, he felt that this was an opportunity given by Hua Kai to Huang Jia.
Huang Jia often went to Dong Ling and had seen a lot of spiritual herbs. Thus, he had some general knowledge about spiritual herbs.
Hua Kai gave Huang Jia a [Elixir Of Spring], two [Peiyuan Pills], and a [Barrier Breaking Pill].
His uncle had never taken any pills before. This [Peiyuan Pill] could allow his uncle to reach the Qi Transformation Great Perfection Stage very quickly. Then, he could take the [Barrier Breaking Pill] and enter the Qi Cultivation Stage.
The extra [Peiyuan Pill] could allow his B + grade cousin to break through to the Initial Yuan Stage. At that time, Huang Jia would have another Qi Transformation Stage expert. He would be a powerful helper for the Hua family outside of Guang County.
Hua Kai did not tell his uncles about his cousin Huang Shuyuan. When he first entered the family, he saw Huang Shuyuan. Her E + grade aptitude was not outstanding. If she married Erzhuang and gave birth to a child, his aptitude would not be too high.
If Hua Kai's pills were to be sold in Linzi City, the price would be around 1200 gold.
Huang Jia knew that although Hua Kai had the intention to help them, the 1200 gold transaction would not be easy to complete.
The distance to Zheng was about 3000 miles. Along the way, there would be more than 10 countries. It would not be easy to bring the spiritual herbs back safely. The risk involved was not small.
Huang Guangwen took the [Elixir Of Spring] after Hua Kai left. He had the idea of saving the [Elixir Of Spring] for the family, but he did not dare to delay Hua Kai's matters.
In the afternoon, when Huang Guangwen recovered from his injuries and was able to get out of bed, he began to study some herbal medicine knowledge. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Hua Kai wanted him to buy, he still had to understand the basic knowledge of spiritual medicine in order to complete Hua Kai's instructions.
After returning home, Hua Kai called Erzhuang and Wal-mart's butler over.
"Forget about Huang Jia's marriage. The two of them are not suitable for each other.
There are so many girls we brought back from the grasslands. Erzhuang, do you not like any of them? "Hua Kai said as he looked at Erzhuang.
Wal-mart knew that Hua Kai didn't agree with Erzhuang marrying Huang Jia's daughter, so he gave up the idea. He didn't want to think about the specific reasons. The head of the family had his own considerations. As a steward, the most important thing was to obey the family's orders.
"There is!" Erzhuang said embarrassedly.
The girls they brought back from the grasslands were all above A-. Their figures and looks were also very good. In terms of appearance, many girls from the aristocratic families in the city couldn't compare.
"Okay, I'll matchmake you with whoever you like. As long as the other party agrees, this matter is settled … Grandpa Fu, Huang Shuyuan and Erzhuang are not suitable. The girls I brought back from the grasslands are all good girls I picked out. They are worthy of Erzhuang," Hua Kai said.
Thinking about the more than a hundred A-level maids in the family, Hua Kai couldn't ignore this strong advantage. As long as they married and had children in Fort Wah Ka, how many A-level children could they give birth to in Fort Wah Ka? The most important thing for a family to grow in the long run was the number of geniuses.
Giving birth to a hundred C-level children was not as useful as giving birth to a single A-level child.
The girl Erzhuang liked was called Ta Na. She was one of the maids that Hua Kai valued. She was pretty, slim, and a little tanned.
Because of her good qualifications, she was among the first batch to become a Household Servant of the Hua family. Now, she was working as a maid for Hua Kai in the main house of the main courtyard.
Hua Kai wanted to matchmake himself. When Ta Na heard that the other party was Erzhuang, she nodded shyly and agreed.
Girls from the grasslands loved heroes. Erzhuang's performance in the caravan was enough to attract most of the young girls. This marriage was settled just like that.
When he got home, he took out the draft of "Three Kingdoms". The changes that needed to be changed were almost done. Logically speaking, he should have asked people to engrave all the words on the sheepskin on bamboo slips or wooden slips and tie them into books with ropes.
However, "Three Kingdoms" had been changed by Hua Kai to more than three million words. If he used bamboo slips, wouldn't it be dozens of carts?
Thinking about people slowly reading novels in front of dozens of carts of bamboo slips, Hua Kai felt a headache coming on.
He thought about the knowledge of making paper in his mind and felt that he should be able to make paper by himself.
Soon, it was October 20th. On this day, several elders came to the main house and pulled Hua Kai aside to tell him how smart their grandsons were. The top ten youths of Fort Wah Ka were now known as the "Ten Young Masters of the Hua family".
Because of their outstanding talents, the ten youths were focused on training by the family. Every few days, they would take elixirs and drink [Spirit Liquid] like water. In the morning, they could go to the spirit field to learn how to cultivate spirit rice. In the afternoon, there would be special teachers teaching them history, etiquette, culture, and other basic courses. In the evening, Hua Zichen would personally teach them martial arts and mental cultivation methods. In just over 20 days, their strength had increased by a lot. All of them had entered the Body Tempering Realm.
How could the elders in the village not be anxious? That was why they went to look for Hua Kai today.
"Elders, you are all my grandfathers' generation.
The family's resources are limited. It is impossible to take care of everyone. I have not thought it through enough to only train Chinese Ink and the other nine youths … How about this!
I will set up a school for our village so that all the children can enter and learn.
It will be free for everyone in our village! "Hua Kai said with a smile. You could only appease the elders.
"Those slaves brought back from the grasslands can consume so much of the family's resources. Shouldn't we also take care of our own people? The school must be set up.
It is not enough to just be free. The family's resources must also be allocated, "an elder said with a red neck.
"Okay, I will do this!
In the future, our school will be divided into three classes.
They will be Heaven, Earth, and Human. The Heavenly Ban Village will fully support cultivation, including the usual expenses and cultivation needs. The main family will bear all of it.
The Earth Ban family will subsidize everyone's studies. Every year, those with good grades will be promoted to the Earth Ban.
The Human Ban will not receive any subsidies. Only those with good grades will receive scholarships.
Elders, what do you think of this arrangement? "Hua Kai said and did not say anything else.
The elders also knew that it was the main family's right to choose who they wanted. They were just jealous of the Hua family's ten youths. They thought that they had used too much of the family's resources. If it were their own children and grandchildren, their strength would definitely improve faster than them.
However, Hua Kai absolutely could not waste all the resources on a group of people with only E and F qualifications, even if they belonged to the Hua family.
After the elders left, Hua Kai fell into deep thought. The problem of sending new members to the family must be solved in time. He originally planned to wait until the third main task was completed. At that time, he would take some loyal slaves into the family and give them the surname Hua if they performed well.
Now it seemed that this problem must be solved as soon as possible. Just as they were talking, a village elder who had just left came again. Hua Kai thought that he was here for the school. He did not expect that this time he came to ask for a wife for his son.
"Family Head, my son is now over 30 years old and still does not have a wife. Didn't we bring back a lot of female slaves from the grasslands this year?
Can you give my son one? I think that little Ji Ge in the laundry room is not bad. "The village elder said with a smile.
The elder said it very casually, as if the girl named Ji Ge could be his daughter-in-law at will.
"I remember that your son has some problems with his brain, right?" Hua Kai looked at him and asked.
"Yes … there are some small flaws, but my son's body …"
"Every girl that the Hua family brought back from the grasslands was rescued by me from the tribe. They went through untold hardships all the way back from the grasslands 5000 miles away. They are all members of the Hua family. Village Elder … Do you understand?" Hua Kai looked at him and said.
The elder also saw Hua Kai's anger. They always felt that the family's things were theirs. All the red names were linked to benefits in the end. When the family was in danger, they were the family's most fearless men of sacrifice.
When the family became prosperous, they might become the family's parasites. They had to be careful of this.
Hua Kai was in his room thinking of a way to give all the people who came back from the grasslands a status. It would be best to let the talented people marry more. That way, the family would have more geniuses. Some of the talented girls in the family could choose to marry outstanding young men from the grasslands.
This was a very good idea. Thinking of this, Hua Kai took out a new piece of sheepskin and used a pen to mark it. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to discuss his idea with his grandfather, Erzhuang came in from outside. "Family Head, many noble families in Buqi County have already started preparing. Today, merchant ships from the Southern Kingdom have already arrived at Buqi Market. When are we leaving?"
"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Go and inform my Fifth Uncle and the others that we will leave for Buqi Market tomorrow morning. This time, we might take a long time. Inform everyone," Hua Kai said.
In the past few days, the family had been experimenting with papermaking several times, but they still couldn't grasp the key to it. Hua Kai shared all the papermaking methods in his mind with the Household Servant. He didn't know when they would be able to make paper that was difficult for him.
There were also new family members. This time, going to Buqi Market was more important. Everything could only wait until they returned.
On the 21st day of the tenth lunar month, the gates of the Hua Clan Fort opened wide. More than thirty horse carriages slowly drove out of the village. The carriages were filled with furs and wood that were brought back from the grasslands. After the carriages left the village, more than six hundred horses followed behind them. Everyone noticed that the Hua Clan Fort was not going to the big market this early in the morning.
For this trip, other than Hua Xing, the Hua family's main force was all going. There were more than 160 family members following them. The entire Fort Wah Ka presented an incomparably prosperous scene.
The carriages drove past Guang County City. The commoners inside and outside the city walls stared at them from afar. There were only a few in the entire Guang County who could gather such a large group of carriages.
After exiting Guang County's border, they saw hundreds of border guards. These were the Li family's soldiers. When they saw the Hua family's carriages coming over, 50 of them came over.
After checking the goods on the carriages, the Hua family's carriages only had close to 10,000 ordinary cattle and sheep skins. The good ones had all been stored in Hua Kai's storage space. Even so, the Hua family still had to pay a toll of 2 gold coins for these furs.
More than 600 horses were taxed according to the number of horses. Each horse was one silver coin. The Hua family paid another 6 gold coins in taxes. In addition to the wood and fodder on the carriages, the Li family finally paid a round sum of 10 gold coins. The Hua family paid the money before leaving Guang County and entering Beihai Nation. When they arrived at Beihai Nation, they had to pay another 10 gold coins in taxes. The Hua family members couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.
"Collecting taxes at the border is too easy to make money!"
