The Han family wanted to use an ordinary descendant to win over the Hua family. If this was a normal family, it would be a good thing. But who was Hua Kai?
He was the head of the Hua family.
The Han family wanted to use Han Rou to gain the loyalty of the entire Hua family. A genius head of the family and four Qi Realm experts, this was a perfect move!
This was an insult to Hua Kai's family, and they even wanted the head of the Hua family to come to Guang County as a hostage!
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. The Hua family is not stable yet, and I don't think I have the opportunity to further my studies in Guang County's academy.
Miss Han Rou is gentle and virtuous, and has a stunning appearance. Hua Kai does not dare to have any improper thoughts. "Hua Kai said softly.
The county magistrate's wife was disappointed. She regretted meeting Hua Kai today.
Although Hua Kai was only a teenager, he was as steady as the young masters of the aristocratic families.
Losing a Hua family was a great loss to the Han family.
"Hua Jiazhu is too humble. I won't keep you since it's late. Hua Jiazhu, if you have the chance, come visit the Han residence often. It's not easy for a teenager like you to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family. But the development of the family cannot be without friends." The county magistrate's wife's voice was gentle, but it gave people an irrefutable feeling.
"Thank you for your advice!" Hua Kai bowed and left slowly. When he reached the door, he saw that the maid was still waiting for him.
The county magistrate's wife's last words had a hint of warning. Hua Kai left the Han family's backyard. Seeing that everyone had left, he left the Han residence and walked towards the Hua family's weapon shop.
After Hua Kai left, Han Xu slowly walked out from behind a curtain. Beside him was a delicate young lady.
Compared to Han Rou, her large eyes were filled with intelligence and intelligence. Han Xu patted her head lovingly. This was Han Xin!
"Husband, I feel that we did something wrong today. That Hua Kai's bearing is extraordinary. Even compared to those young masters of the great aristocratic families, he is not inferior at all. If we marry Xin Er to him, the Han family might get a strong helper in the future," said Han Xu's wife.
"Extraordinary temperament!
Extraordinary youths can be found everywhere. Now that he has the talent, who knows what will happen in the future?
A person's talent will only be fully revealed after the age of 16. What kind of talent can a normal family produce?
Xin 'er will marry a proud son of heaven in the future. How can Hua Kai be worthy? "Han Xu said loudly.
..............................................................
. "" It's not a big deal. The Qi Refining stage may be important to a normal aristocratic family, but without the Xiantian stage, it's hard to be elegant.
If the Hua family doesn't enter Guang County, it won't be easy for them to become powerful. I'm waiting for the day when the Hua family comes to us and apologizes. "Han Xu said softly.
Hua Kai felt that the Han family's actions had violated the dignity of the Hua family. From Han Xu's point of view, he felt that the Hua family's rejection of the Han family's solicitation had damaged the prestige of the Han family and himself.
At night, when Hua Kai and Erzhuang returned home, they remembered that the Han family had not returned the money.
After hearing about Hua Kai's experience in the Han residence, everyone was furious.
"Alright, the family still needs to rely on strength. The Han family will not take the initiative to attack us now. That's enough!
Go do your own things!
By the way, how's the expansion plan for Fort Wah Ka coming along? "Hua Kai asked.
"We're already buying the materials today. According to your instructions, the entire Hua family will be divided into two parts: the inner village and the outer village.
Other than the workshop area and warehouse that you mentioned in the inner village, the rest will be built into courtyards. When the time comes, Fort Wah Ka can accommodate up to 1,400 people.
In addition, the outer village will be built according to your arrangements. There will be a training ground, a residential area, a commercial area, a farming area, an academic area, a stable area, and a cowshed area. The total budget will probably exceed 1,200 gold, "Hua Zijie said.
Hua Kai's requirements for the construction of the new Fort Wah Ka were very strict. All the buildings were built with stone and wood as the foundation, which greatly increased the construction period and cost.
Especially his requirements for the workshop area in the inner village, which was of a higher quality than the main courtyard.
"Alright, speed up the construction period. It must be completed before winter arrives. This year, Fort Wah Ka's population may exceed 2,000. The quality of the houses outside the village must also be guaranteed." After Hua Kai finished speaking, everyone accepted the order and left.
The cattle and sheep outside Fort Wah Ka were sold out. More than 500 horses were also sold. He had more than 3,000 gold in his hands.
In a few days, the money that the Jia family and the Ren family owed them would be delivered. When that time came, the Hua family's funds would definitely increase.
Only by working hard to convert the funds into the family's strength could the money be considered money. Moreover, in a few days, the Hua family would sell the horses in their hands before the market opened. When that time came, they would have more funds.
Early the next morning, Hua Kai did not go to the training ground.
Now that he was at the eighth level of the Initial Element Realm, he could not increase his strength for more than two years. Therefore, when he had nothing to do, he would read more books and walk around the village.
Today, the wheat in the outer village of the Hua family could be harvested. Hua Zijie organized the villagers to start harvesting the wheat.
Hua Kai saw Xu Hua talking to Hua Zihuan in the field. When he saw Hua Kai and Xu Hua, he came over and bowed.
"Kai 'er, this Mr. Xu is really knowledgeable. He gave us some suggestions on the transformation of the fields. If we succeed, we can harvest at least two stones per mu in the future." Hua Zihuan said.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Xu, for your guidance. I heard that Mr. Xu is a farmer's student. Have you gotten used to living in Fort Wah Ka these few days?" Hua Kai asked.
After Xu Hua was brought back from the Evil Wolf Stronghold by Hua Jia Caravan, he had been living in Hua Zichen's house. As long as he did not leave the Hua family, no one would pay attention to him.
As a captive of the Hua family and Hua Zichen's classmate, Xu Hua felt very awkward in the Hua family. These few days, he saw that the Hua family's spring wheat was about to be harvested. When he had nothing to do, he would wander around here.
"It's a habit, a habit!
Thank you, Hua Jiazhu, for your hospitality. In the Hua family, I don't have to worry about food or clothes. Every day, when I have nothing to do, I wander around … Haha! "As a captive of the Hua family, Xu Hua felt embarrassed.
"That's good. I have some questions about the cultivation of spirit rice.
I wonder if Mr. Xu can give me some advice. "
Hua Kai felt that Xu Hua was also a strange person. He had been a captive of the Hua family for a few days, and his loyalty had increased to 51 points. He did not treat himself as an outsider!
"That's not a problem. Lao Xu, I don't have any other skills. I just like to farm and raise flowers and plants.
It's not that easy to grow spirit rice. You need a spirit field.
Generally, the land with abundant spiritual energy can become a spirit field after special cultivation. Of course, there are also some special treasures and formations that can increase the density of spiritual energy … "Xu Hua began to talk about the methods of growing spirit rice. There was a lot of professional knowledge in it. It was too difficult for ordinary people to grow spirit rice.
"Mr. Xu, you've said so much. Hua Kai has benefited a lot. In short, you need to increase the density of spiritual energy.
I have some Spirit Liquid here. I wonder if it's useful for growing spirit rice? "Hua Kai said as he took out his kettle and handed it to Xu Hua.
Xu Hua saw that Hua Kai had put the Spirit Liquid in an ordinary kettle. He opened the kettle and took a sniff.
"The purity of this Spirit Liquid is very high. If you want to quickly grow a hundred mu of spirit fields, you need at least 500 kilograms of this Spirit Liquid," Xu Hua said after thinking.
"The Hua family wants to invite Mr. Xu to grow spirit rice in Fort Wah Ka. Are you willing?" Hua Kai asked.
"This … Hua Jiazhu, it's not that I don't want to. The Hua family rescued me from the Evil Wolf Stockade because of my relationship with your Fifth Uncle. It's not a big deal for me to stay and help Fort Wah Ka. However, it's much more difficult to grow spirit rice than you think. One mu of spirit field needs at least 10 gold coins a year to maintain. If there's a slight mistake in the maintenance of the spirit rice, I'm not sure how much I'll get in the end." Xu Hua said awkwardly.
There were many families that grew spirit rice in this world, but most of them were big families. They invested a lot of money in a hundred mu of spirit fields. If they were lucky, they could at most harvest 3,000 kilograms of spirit rice. However, the risk was not small. The main reason they dared to grow spirit rice was because they had hundreds of years of experience.
The Hua family knew nothing about spirit rice. Most of them had never even tasted spirit rice.
"I know you're worried. The Hua family didn't suddenly want to grow spirit rice. Please come with me to the main courtyard."
Hua Kai said as he led Xu Hua to the main living room. Xu Hua's status suddenly became an important guest. In the future, no one would dare to restrict his freedom.
"Let me show you something, Mr. Xu … Do you know what it is?"
Hua Kai took out the Spirit Gathering Array and placed it on the table. The array's function had not been activated. It was just eight flags with strange runes engraved on them and a crystal bead.
"This is … an array?
What's the function of the Hua family's array? "
Xu Hua asked with wide eyes. He had seen many arrays, but this was the first time he saw an array that had not been activated.
"Spirit Gathering!" Hua Kai said.
"Hua Jiazhu, arrays can only be drawn by array masters. Now, there are no more array masters who can draw the array's function. If this array can be activated, it will be a rare treasure," Xu Hua said as he looked at the Spirit Gathering Array.
"Mr. Xu, I'm very assured. Do you know how to activate this array?"
Hua Kai looked at Xu Hua. In just a short while, his loyalty had increased to 63 points. This loyalty came too easily.
"The array requires you to leave your mental strength on each component of the array. This array is actually made up of nine components. It should be a relatively high-level array," Xu Hua said as he looked at the Spirit Gathering Array without blinking.
"Yes, thank you for telling me, Mr. Xu. With this array, what are the chances of the Hua family growing spirit rice?" Hua Kai asked.
"Well, we still have to wait for the array to be activated to see the effect. If it can really achieve the effect of spirit gathering, the effect will be better with the spirit liquid.
If Hua Jiazhu can provide 500 kilograms of spirit liquid of the same quality as before, I have a 30% chance, "Xu Hua said after thinking for a while.
With the array and spirit liquid, there was a 30% chance!
This farmer's student couldn't be fake, right?
In fact, Hua Kai had underestimated the difficulty of growing spirit rice. In this world, the family heads who were confident of growing spirit rice were all third-grade aristocratic families and above. The Hua family, a family that had not been ranked, dared to try growing spirit rice. The ignorant were truly fearless.
Hua Kai held the Spirit Gathering Array and was about to imprint his mental strength on it when Xu Hua looked at Hua Kai with some embarrassment.
"Hua Jiazhu, I see that Hua Jiazhu is very busy every day and doesn't have time to take care of the spirit fields. I'm willing to stay in the Hua family and help the Hua family grow spirit rice. As long as Hua Jiazhu is willing to let me manage this array, I don't need to be paid!" Xu Hua said with a red face.
"This array needs to be controlled by someone to work?" Hua Kai asked curiously.
"… No!" Xu Hua said awkwardly.
When Hua Kai saw this, he had a plan in mind, but he still looked at Xu Hua and said, "Then why should I let you control the array? You also said that this array is very precious!"
