When Hua Zichen asked about the possibility of the Hua family building a branch in Guang County, he was directly rejected by the Meng Family.
If the Hua family chose to leave, they would lose all the aristocratic family rights in Guang County. The branch could only exist as an ordinary family. In any country, an aristocratic family was not allowed to split unless there was an irreconcilable conflict.
Since this was the case, everything was basically settled. After Hua Zichen sent the Meng Family's Xiantian away, he asked the Household Servant to summon all the representatives of the 10 families to the main tent.
"This is the situation in Qi. The Hua family's departure from Guang County is inevitable. The division of benefits in Qi will take a long time. Now that there are five aristocratic family spots, let's discuss how to divide them."
After Hua Zichen finished speaking, he looked at the representatives of the various families. This distribution method was also requested by Hua Kai to be made public.
When the representatives heard this, their expressions changed. Everyone hoped that they could obtain one of the spots. The difference between an ordinary family and an aristocratic family was like the difference between a ruled family and a ruler. Who did not want to be promoted to an aristocratic family after hundreds of years of hard work?
"We are all subordinates of the Hua family. The distribution of the spots will be decided by the Hua family. The Ren family will have no complaints about the Hua family's arrangement!" The head of the Ren family was the first to speak.
The Huang Clan and the Tai Clan also chimed in at this time. The three of them were much stronger than the other clans and had the highest chance of obtaining the Aristocratic Clan's quota. If they were to discuss, it would depend on which two of the other seven clans the Hua Clan would choose.
"The Hua family moving to Gaoliu City is not something that can be completed in one or two years. When the time comes, whether you want to continue to follow the Hua family to Gaoliu Prefecture or stay in Guang County, you all have to consider carefully. After all, this is not a small matter.
As for the five aristocratic family spots, this is what the Hua family considers. "
As Hua Zichen spoke, all the representatives listened carefully. The Hua family must have their reasons for publicizing the opportunity to be promoted to an aristocratic family.
"High Willow City was destroyed by the Northern Donghu Coalition Army, and there are not many citizens left in the city. The Hua family will be under a lot of pressure to guard High Willow City and Leopard Jade Pass in the future.
Linzi City has requested for us to station ten thousand men here and wait for the Northern Great Wall of Yan Kingdom to be completed. It will take a few years. The reward will take at least a year. During this period of time, we can't just wait. "
"Highwillow City needs to be rebuilt. Rebuilding will require resources and manpower. Every family will report the amount of manpower and resources they have invested in the city within three months. We will determine the final five families based on the strength of each family and the amount of manpower and resources reported." Hua Zichen said.
When the Hua family moved into High Willow County, all of the affiliated families would inevitably benefit. The reconstruction and development of High Willow City wasn't just a matter of the Hua family. Now that the time had come for the various families to compete in strength and relationships, it really wasn't certain who would be able to obtain the final quota.
The Wan family, Chen family, Mao family, Geng family, and other weaker families started to think. The Hua family needed manpower and resources. There were many refugees in Guang County right now. It would depend on how many refugees they could send to High Willow City.
There was also the matter of resources. This was completely a competition. Whoever had the connections to obtain more wood, stone, and craftsmen would have a greater advantage.
Thinking of this, the Ren family, Tai family, and Huang Jia representatives' expressions changed.
If they didn't do their best this time, they might be surpassed by the other families and obtain the final aristocratic family quota.
Thinking about it, in order to be safe, the best way was to follow the Hua family into High Willow City. This way, they would have a chance to obtain the precious aristocratic family quota.
After thinking about it carefully, the ten families all understood the Hua family's intentions. However, not all of the families had the courage to move into High Willow City. After all, Guang County was in the core area of Qi, and High Willow City was surrounded by strong enemies.
In the following three days, the entire Western Army began to split into two. Half of them prepared to go home to Guang County, while the remaining fifteen thousand were led by Hua Xing. They had a new mission.
Hua Zichen took a look at the list of names sent by the families and gave it to his father. Hua Xing looked at it carefully and pondered.
"Actually, we don't need to choose, they have already chosen!
Kai Er is still the smartest.
This time, the Ren family stayed behind and insisted on obtaining a quota. Huang Jia is planning to work hard on Jiancheng Wood. He has already gathered more than ten small families.
I don't know what price the Tai family paid to get the full support of the Wan family. The Yue Jia and the Yi family have also started to rope in the small families. "Hua Xing said.
"What we didn't expect was that the Geng family actually gave up on the competition and withdrew everyone. They only sent two hundred Household Servant. I'm afraid that they are all refugees.
They don't plan to leave Guang County! "Hua Zichen said.
"That's right, the Zhou Clan has allocated half of their strength to support the Yue Clan. They want to split the Clan into two and develop in two places at the same time. Then, the list of Aristocratic Clans should be the Ren Clan, Huang Clan, Tai Clan, Yue Clan and Yi Clan!
The Wan family chose to stand behind the Tai family, the Chen family chose to support the Yi family, and the Mao and Zhou families chose to support the Yue Jia. They actually managed to integrate so quickly. "Hua Xing sighed.
This way, the Hua family didn't need to choose again. The Jia family already had five Qi Realm cultivators, and this time, it was very likely that they would reach the eighth rank. This time, they also left behind a large portion of their members. They also planned to follow the Hua family to Gaoliu City. In the future, the power of Gaoliu County would be determined. The Hua family was a seventh rank family, the Jia family was an eighth rank family, and the Ren family, Huang Jia, Tai family, Yue Jia, and Yi family were five Families of Ninth Rank.
Looking at the number of people they reported, most of them were between one thousand and three thousand. The Hua family had to arrange the construction of Gaoliu City according to the number of people they reported, as well as the rights of each family in Gaoliu County.
On the 20th day of the fifth lunar month, Hua Zichen left the camp with more than ten thousand people in Guang County. They headed south and prepared to go home. There were more than twenty Hua family Qi Realm cultivators following them. They all needed to go home and rest for a while.
On this day, Hua Kai followed the Jixia Academy team to Shuoyang City, which was a hundred miles east of Xianyang City. This was a small city with less than ten thousand people. At night, they stayed at an inn. Hua Kai knew that Fifth Uncle had already brought more than five thousand Household Servants home. He told his Fifth Uncle to go to Guang County Academy to study the Confucian classics and enter the Connate Realm as soon as possible.
Right now, the Hua family's weakest member was the Connate Realm. If Fifth Uncle could reach the Connate Realm, the family's influence would increase greatly, and they would have a trump card to face Donghu and Zhao.
Seeing his grandfather, Fifth Uncle, and Fourth Uncle leave the space, Hua Kai came to the [Family Mystic Realm Space] crystal pillar. He looked at the name list on the crystal pillar and was stunned!
He didn't know when the family's combat strength list had an additional line. At the top of the line, there was an eye-catching "1" behind the Connate Realm.
He clicked to check the details and found that it was Xu Hua's name!
Xu Hua had reached the Connate Realm!
Hua Kai had thought that Xue Pan or Yu Jun would reach the Connate Realm first, but he never thought that it would be Xu Hua.
Xu Hua was lucky last time. When the family was promoted to a noble family, his talent rose from C to B grade. Even if he cultivated on the Wind and Fire Futon every day, he only had A grade talent. It would be very difficult for him to reach the Connate Realm.
Checking the family's combat strength list, he found that it had only increased by 60 points. It seemed that Xu Hua's combat strength was still weak. However, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with normal Mortal Realm warriors. He could even deal with normal Connate Realm warriors once he entered the spiritual array.
The Connate Realm had finally appeared. Hua Kai was overjoyed. Now, all he had to do was wait for the subsidiary family to be promoted to a noble family. Recently, the Hua family had also accepted the Guang County government's request to join them, but the system didn't show it. This ruined the Hua family's plan of finding a noble family subsidiary. To establish a family subsidiary relationship, it wasn't just a simple agreement. It required a certain degree of recognition and mutual benefits from both parties.
Other than Hua Kai, no one knew that Xu Hua had reached the Connate Realm. Now that his grandfather, Fifth Uncle, and Fourth Uncle were not in Guang County, Hua Kai had no way of knowing about Xu Hua's current situation. He could only wait for his Fifth Uncle to come home.
On the 25th day of the fifth month, five teachers from Jixia Academy led Hua Kai and ten other students into Xianyang City. This place was completely different from what the students had imagined.
Xianyang City wasn't any smaller than Linzi City. It had a population of more than 400,000 and was located in the core region of the Guanzhong. There were more than 20 cities in the Guanzhong region. In terms of total population, it was much more than the entire Qi core region.
When the commoners on the streets saw the teachers and students from Jixia Academy, they all bowed and greeted them. They didn't have any trace of the warlike commoners of the State of Qin.
The streets here weren't as bustling as Linzi City. There weren't many shops selling silk, sugar, tea, and other luxurious goods. However, there were many restaurants and restaurants. Hua Kai saw that there were even shops that specialized in selling elixir pills. This meant that the people of Xianyang City weren't poor.
After finding a decent inn to stay in, the students wanted to experience Xianyang City. It was rumored that Epang Palace was the number one palace in the world. They also wanted to take a look. However, Hua Kai rejected their invitation and went to the streets of Xianyang Palace alone.
A group of cavalrymen galloped across the street. Hua Kai saw that these cavalrymen were all wearing golden armor and were riding on fine horses. One look and he could tell that they were the elites of the State of Qin.
The commoners of the State of Qin seemed to be used to this. They just gave way to the cavalrymen and went their own ways. Hua Kai saw that the general leading the group didn't seem very old. He unintentionally used his [Eyes of Truth] to check his stats.

…
The general seemed to have noticed that Hua Kai was checking him out. He turned around and glanced at Hua Kai. However, he ignored him and continued to run towards the inner city.
He was actually a student of the Military School. The Military School was born in the State of Qin, but it wasn't popular in other countries. This was because they advocated using war to stop war. They believed that the main reason that hindered the development of the world was war. As long as the world was unified, the war would stop, and the commoners would be able to live a happy life.
