On one side, Hua Zichen was leading the Azure Dragon Army to suck the blood of the Donghu court. On the other side, Hua Kai was in High Willow City checking the development of High Willow City. He felt that the biggest problem of High Willow City was that there were too many slaves.
There were too many slaves on the grasslands. It was urgent to increase the loyalty of the slaves in High Willow City. If the Hua family could not turn so many slaves into their own power, then these slaves would drag down the development of the Hua family.
In High Willow City, Hua Kai had also established several technical training academies. These academies were mainly for training slaves, teaching them all kinds of special vocational skills in High Willow City. Learning these skills would not only allow them to become a craftsman, chef, merchant, and other enviable occupations, but also improve their ideological education. Hua Kai had spent a lot of money to build these academies.
He made a decision with High Willow City to increase the development of animal husbandry in the future. This development would not only reduce the population pressure of High Willow City, but also disperse most of the slaves around High Willow City. It would also digest the livestock taken back from Donghu. High Willow Commandery would become a place with developed animal husbandry.
During the five days in Hua City, Hua Kai selected all the horses he had obtained from the battle at Leopard Jade Pass. He left all the BMW and fine horses behind. He only chose the strong horses with good bloodlines or had a chance to be upgraded. The other horses were sent to the bottom of the plateau for the family tribe to raise.
After upgrading all the BMW, he had obtained more than 110 BMWs. There were only 13 left that could be upgraded. Hua Kai successfully upgraded five. The Hua family had more and more divine chariots. The quality of the horses in the entire pegasus farm was quickly improving.
Picking out the fine and strong horses that could be upgraded, Hua Kai left them for Wal-mart and his grandfather to upgrade when they had nothing else to do. Then he returned to High Willow City.
On the 24th day of the eighth lunar month, the news that the Donghu army had been completely defeated by the Hua family spread through High Willow Commandery, the Yan Kingdom, and the Qi Kingdom. The caravans that went to Donghu and Xiongnu had returned to the North Mountain. Some small caravans with new carriages had returned to High Willow City.
Hua Kai brought Wuren Tuya out of the Hua Manor early in the morning. They were escorted by a group of Household Servants to the High Willow Academy. This was one of the most advanced academies in the High Willow Region. All the teachers there were students or above.
Today, Hua Kai came to High Willow College to write the second chapter of "Journey to the West". He had not written "Journey to the West" for more than two months. The video cards that he had collected in the virtual space were enough to write several chapters. After much consideration, Hua Kai decided to write the second chapter of "Journey to the West" at High Willow College.
Everyone in High Willow City knew that Hua Kai had already become a big shot in the school of novels. His arrival had caused many students and commoners to wait for him at High Willow Academy. Hua Kai stepped onto the stage that the academy had set up for him and placed the original copy of "Journey to the West", which he had only written a single chapter, on the table. He saw that there were about ten thousand people quietly waiting below the stage.
Hua Xuan took out an inkstone and began to grind the ink for Hua Kai.
Hua Kai was not in a hurry to start writing the book. He looked at the few old people at the front of the stage. They were all great novelists who had traveled thousands of miles from all over the Central Plains. They were here just to take a look at Hua Kai and see how the first famous novel of the school of novels was created.
Hua Kai gently opened the first page of "Journey to the West". He injected his mental strength into the book, and soon, the familiar scenes from the "Great Novel" appeared. Hua Kai read the contents of "Journey to the West" aloud, and everyone below the stage was intoxicated.
They were completely brought into the world of Hua Kai's novel. The first chapter of "Journey to the West" appeared in their minds. When Hua Kai finished reading the first chapter, which had more than 10,000 words, Hua Kai stopped. Everyone looked at him and waited for the second chapter to begin.
The old men sitting in the front row of the stage were extremely excited. What Hua Kai had just said was undoubtedly the original copy of the "Great Novel". Moreover, to be able to bring everyone into such a clear world, this "Journey to the West" must have been written by him.
"Today, I'm writing the second chapter of" Journey to the West ". 'Comprehending the true mysteries of Bodhi, breaking the devil, returning to the origin, and combining the primordial spirit'. Speaking of which, the Monkey King is still very enthusiastic even after receiving the name …"
Hua Kai had already condensed the images of his willpower in the virtual space into the original copy of "Journey to the West". Those images were written into the book with his pen. A virtual projection of the world began to appear in the sky above High Willow Academy. Every move of the Monkey King was clearly displayed in front of everyone. Everyone could not help but be intoxicated.
Unknowingly, the second chapter had already come to an end. Hua Kai finished writing the last paragraph, and the virtual image in the sky disappeared. No one was willing to wake up. They were still immersed in the world of the novel.
Suddenly, an old man below the stage knelt down in front of Hua Kai. His expression was solemn as he lowered his head and kowtowed to Hua Kai with both hands.
The old man lowered his head and said, "My name is Ma Zhangwang. I started writing novels at the age of 15, became a scholar at the age of 19, wrote hundreds of books at the age of 26, and was fortunate enough to become a great novelist at the age of 50. Today, I plead to follow by your side and become your disciple!"
The old man lowered his head and said, "Please accept us. We are willing to follow by your side!" Everyone below the stage knelt down, hoping to become Hua Kai's disciple.
In the distance, the other students and apprentices of the school of Novels were extremely envious when they saw this scene. Without the strength of a student or above, they would not be able to take the initiative to ask the Giant to accept them as his disciples. Everyone was quietly waiting for Hua Kai's response.
However, even though Hua Kai was already a Giant, he did not have a single disciple.
As the number one Giant of the school of Novels, he had the responsibility to increase the influence of the school of Novels in this world. Thus, he decided to accept a few disciples today.
He checked Ma Zhangwang's attributes. He was the strongest among everyone present. He was at the peak of the Connate realm and was about to enter the Foundation Establishment realm. His S + aptitude made him worthy of being Hua Kai's disciple.
He glanced at everyone below the stage. There were indeed quite a few geniuses among these people who had traveled thousands of miles to study in Highwillow City.
"Cao Ziang, you are very talented. You can be my first disciple," Hua Kai said.
Everyone looked at the great novelists and students in the front row. They wanted to know who would be lucky enough to become Hua Kai's first disciple.
At this moment, a young man who was not even 20 years old stood up in fear. He was both shocked and excited when he saw that Hua Kai actually knew his name.
"Ma Zhangwang, your karma is too heavy, but it won't be difficult for you to enter the Foundation Establishment realm. You can be my personal disciple …"
Hua Kai accepted seven disciples in one go. The first was Cao Zirui, who had an SS aptitude. Although he was only a student of the school of Novels, he had two innate skills, [Clever Tongue] and [Heavenly Words]. These two skills were very impressive.
[Clever Tongue] would make his eloquence very impressive. A novelist not only needed to write good novels, but also to speak well.
[Heavenly Words] was very impressive. There was a certain probability that his words would trigger a response from the will of heaven and earth. Coupled with his SS aptitude, the probability of him entering the Golden Core realm in the future was very high.
Hua Kai's other six disciples were all S + aptitude and had a chance to enter the Foundation Establishment realm in the future.
"In addition, you … 149 people can become my in-name disciples.
There are not many requirements to become my disciples. You can stay in High Willow County or leave. Every time I write a new chapter of [Journey to the West], you can listen to it. When I have time, I can guide you in writing novels and cultivation. "
Hua Kai selected 149 people with A grade aptitude and above. Some of them were already in the Innate realm. Although they were only in-name disciples, they were very happy.
"Teacher, may I ask where you are in the palace?
We can follow and serve you in the future, "Ma Zhangwang said.
In this world, the relationship between teachers and disciples was very close. Teachers passed on their lifelong knowledge to their disciples, and disciples generally had to serve their teachers all year round. Even their entire income had to be handed over to their teachers.
"I have to run around all year round because of family matters. You should stay in High Willow College. When I have time, I will come to the college often," Hua Kai said.
"We will follow teacher's orders!" Everyone stood up and bowed.
Hua Kai got up and left. Wuren Tuya and Cloud Leopard followed beside him. Hua Xuan and Xiao Qiang followed closely behind. Everyone waited until Hua Kai left before slowly dispersing.
The next morning, Hua Kai held the third [Journey to the West] writing conference at High Willow Ideological Education College. This time, there were twice as many people as yesterday. Many people came early. This time, in addition to the college, Hua Kai's disciples also helped to maintain order. When the third chapter was finished, the [Journey to the West] phantom disappeared in the sky. Hua Kai looked at all his disciples sitting quietly under the stage and spoke.
"156 of you, wait at High Willow College in the afternoon. No one can be late."
Hua Kai wanted to go to the grassland in September. He could help the Erdos tribe and Ujimqin tribe improve their strength. If the two tribes could improve their strength, they would be able to play a greater role in the future war. At that time, even if the Hua family and the Qin Kingdom met on the battlefield, Hua Kai would have more trump cards in his hands. It might be useful at a critical time.
When everyone heard that Hua Kai was finally going to give them a lesson, they were all excited. No one knew what would happen if the great novelist taught his disciples.
In the afternoon, he arrived at High Willow College. Someone had already prepared a classroom for Hua Kai. He followed the dean to the door of the largest classroom. He saw thousands of students waiting outside.
"If you want to listen, you can sit outside and listen!" Hua Kai said.
"Thank you, great novelist!"
When everyone heard this, they were very happy. In the past two days, they had learned a lot from listening to Hua Kai's Famous Novels. Many of them had comprehended a lot of things, and a few of them had broken through.
Walking into the classroom, Hua Kai saw that all of his disciples were already sitting on their knees. His direct disciples were sitting in the front row, and the other disciples were sitting behind. They were all waiting for his arrival.
"Today is the first time I am teaching you.
I have read many of your novels. In general, there are many problems.
Now, I will explain to you the principles and techniques of writing. I will use the scenes from 'Journey to the West' as examples.
A novel pays attention to three elements: characters, plot, and environment. A good novel is shaped from these three aspects … "
Hua Kai was talking about writing techniques. Many people actually knew this kind of thing, but after Hua Kai summarized and explained it clearly, they suddenly had an epiphany. As Hua Kai explained, he used "Journey to the West" as an example. Everyone's mind couldn't help but be filled with scenes from "Journey to the West".
