Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Hua Family Caravan



It takes at least 10 carriages to transport 5,000 kilograms of fine wine. You have to be very careful when transporting fine wine. A carriage can only carry two large wine jars, each of which weighs 250 kilograms. If you are not careful and the wine jar breaks on the road, you will lose a lot.

In addition, most of the other goods given by the Han family are easy to transport, which can be transported by about 5 carriages. So this trip requires at least 15 carriages, and the Hua family is still not well prepared.

"Kai'er, this is a test given to us by the Han family! The amount of goods they give us is almost catching up with that of ordinary ninth-grade families. If we succeed in this business trip, I believe the whole Guang County will look at us with new eyes." Hua Xing said to Hua Kai on the way home. This is a challenge and an opportunity for the Hua family.

"The Han family is much more reliable than the Shen family. They didn't let us transport grain, which would be a waste of manpower. Although fine wine is dangerous to transport, the profit is much better than grain. As long as our 5,000 kilograms of fine wine are successfully transported to the Xiongnu, we can earn at least 200 gold." Wei Baotou said, knowing the situation of the Xiongnu.

"We have already paid 100 gold. Tomorrow, Uncle Wu, you report the number of our weapons and see how much it costs to get the road permit. Grandpa Fu, you arrange for the carpenter to make 10 carriages to transport wine jars. We still don't have enough horses to go to the Xiongnu. Tomorrow I will go to the horse market to buy a strong horse. The merchant selection also needs to be re-planned. This time we have to take a new road, and most of the family's combat power may be withdrawn."

The journey to the Xiongnu Kingdom is more than 5,000 miles. It is impossible to pull 2,000 kilograms of goods per carriage like the Linhu grassland. Everyone has to walk at least 50 miles a day, which requires a lot of physical strength from the horse. Perhaps only a horse can meet the requirements. These are not a problem for Huajiabao.

At night, Hua Kai pondered over the preparations for Huajiabao. Ten days had passed since the last upgrade of the family's mental method, and the family's luck value had accumulated to nearly 100 points. He hoped to accumulate 200 family luck points before leaving, so that many things could be stored in the space after leaving Guangxian City, so that everyone could be more relaxed on the road.

Thinking of the 20 large wine jars to be transported this time, I don't know how many will be left when they reach the Xiongnu. The bumps in the carriage are inevitable, and they have to travel 5,000 miles. Hua Kai suddenly thought of whether he could do some shock absorption work on the carriage. Thinking of this, he woke up directly from his sleep.

Early the next morning, Hua Kai took the drawings to the carpenter's room and discussed the possibility of shock absorption for the carriage with several masters.

In this world, there are very hard woods, extremely tough woods, and some special woods that can prevent fire. There is nothing that wood can't do unless you think of it.

Hua Kai gave the idea and several carpenters became excited at once. If the carriage can achieve the shock absorption Hua Kai expected, then the speed of the carriage will be greatly improved, and the carriage will also carry more goods, which is unimaginable for a caravan.

"We can separate the chassis from the carriage, add a layer of shock absorption in the middle, and then add a shock absorption between the chassis and the axle. We can make these shock absorption plates into holes for connection, that's how we can call it bolts..." Hua Kai used his thinking to make several masters open their eyes in surprise. No one in this world has ever put so much thought into a small carriage. The status of carpenters is worse than that of ordinary tenants. Only carpenters who can make sophisticated weapons can have a slightly higher status, but generally no one who makes weapons considers how to make a simple carriage.

After Hua Kai finished talking about shock absorption, he thought of secondary shock absorption and tertiary shock absorption. He opened up the ideas of several carpenters and left. He was an outsider in how to make it. There was still more than half a month before they could go on business, which was enough time for them to study a shock-absorbing carriage.

In the following days, Hua Kai was busy buying horses at Guang County Horse Market. At this time, the price of horses in the horse market was very high. Hua Kai spent 50 gold to buy 21 strong horses. Several of these horses needed to improve their spirituality to upgrade, and several needed to enter the [Physical Training Secret Realm] and [Strength Training Secret Realm] to upgrade the horses. Hua Kai bought them back first and then decided whether to upgrade them.

At the end of February, the spring plowing began outside the city of Guang County. Hundreds of people in Huajiabao had planted wheat in the newly planned land in just three days. There were already some scattered caravans passing by on the official road outside the village, and sometimes they would stop at the gate of Huajiabao.

Most of these caravans were caravans from various families in the south of Qi State. Some of them transported goods to Qi State for sale, and some formed a caravan with many aristocratic families and drove to the northern grasslands together. After a winter rest, the whole land began to be lively.

In the past few days, the Hua family has determined the renovation plan of the new carriage with several carpenters in the village, and the new earthquake-resistant carriage samples have been made. Hua Kai has done experiments specifically. The carriage is indeed much smoother, and you can hardly feel the bumps when walking on the official road.

On the last day of February, the weather has warmed up. Butler Hua Fu and dozens of servants are loading goods on the carriage. It is a skill to load a carriage for more than 5,000 miles. A carriage can carry up to 2,000 kilograms, but it is impossible to load 2,000 kilograms of cotton cloth and weapons. This car can't carry it.

There are 18 carriages neatly placed on the main street of Huajiabao. The first ten carriages have been placed with large wine jars. Each carriage has two wine jars that are half a person tall. The wine jars are fixed with wooden frames and there are some hay and cotton cloth around them for protection. Even if the new carriage has two levels of shock absorption, it can't be sloppy.

Xue Pan took his two children to eat in the outer restaurant. This is usually the place where the servants and servants of the main courtyard of Huajiabao eat. Hua Kai once asked him to go to the inner restaurant to eat with the master, but Xue Pan refused.

A servant should act like a servant. Huajiabao paid 60 gold for him. He signed a death contract, which was equivalent to selling his life to the Hua family. He didn't dare to have too many thoughts.

But his two children were still young, and he had to raise them anyway. Thinking of this, Xue Pan felt a little entangled.

"Dad, are you leaving?" The daughter is 13 years old this year, gentle and beautiful. She asked her father while eating steamed bread and meat soup.

"The master spent 60 gold to hire me to Huajiabao. Logically, I must go when the family is going to do business this time, but no one has notified me yet. We have been in Huajiabao for so many days, and the master has not treated us as servants. We have food and shelter every day. I just patrol with the village protection team for a few hours. I am always uneasy if this goes on."

Xue Pan said with some annoyance. He spent 60 gold to hire a Kaiyuan realm master and let him patrol every day? No one in the aristocratic family dares to do this.

"Didn't the master say it when he came to see us last time? Ask your father to take good care of his health this year. You have hidden injuries in your body. If you don't take good care of it, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation. Dad, wouldn't it be better for you to stay with us in Huajiabao?" Xue Yiyu looked at his father and said reluctantly.

"Our family of three lives and eats in the main courtyard of Huajiabao. The head of the family treats us well. Daddy should do his part when the family needs it, but since the head of the family wants you to stay at home, he may have his considerations. Daddy, you will go and tell the head of the family about your thoughts later, and I believe you will know the head of the family's intentions." Xue Pan's son Xue Chen is just 12 years old this year. He has been smart and thoughtful about many things since he was a child, but his thin body looks much younger than his sister who is more than a year older than him.

Xue Chen has been weak and sick since he was a child. He has been using various spiritual medicines to maintain his life. Xue Pan bought all the spiritual medicines for his son before the 54 gold he got was warm in his hands. Xue Chen's health has improved slightly in the past few days and he can leave the room.

"Okay, I'll go find the head of the family later. If I leave Huajiabao this time, I may not be able to come back for most of the year. Chen'er, you have to eat more and exercise more. The pills I bought for you are almost enough for you to take until this winter. Everything will be discussed after Daddy comes back. Yiyu, you have to take good care of your brother and don't let him read books all the time. Be careful when taking care of the lady." Xue Pan told his children.

It is safest for Xue Pan to have his children stay in Huajiabao. When he came to the main house, he saw Hua Kai discussing the road permit with the housekeeper.

Hua Kai originally had more than 550 gold in his hand, but Huajiabao spent too much money on the expansion. Now he only has more than 100 gold in his hand. Today, his fifth uncle told Hua Kai that the road permit list of the Han family has arrived. The total cost of the road permit for 18 carriages in Huajiabao is 263 gold. Fortunately, the Han family allows the business to come back and let Huajiabao pay again.

"Xue Huyuan, is there anything?" Hua Kai saw Xue Pan standing at the door waiting, so he asked.

"Master, it's a long journey for Huajiabao to go to Xiongnu this time. I should go with you. I have no regrets that my children are protected by the Hua family. Please allow me to go with the caravan." Xue Pan walked into the house and bowed to Hua Kai.

Hua Kai saw that his physical fitness had recovered to 35 points, which meant that he had been well-fed in Huajiabao these days, and his loyalty had risen to 52 points. It has reached a value that can be used with confidence.

"You have hidden injuries and it will be difficult to recover without a year of recuperation. Your martial arts are almost wasted. I recruited you for 60 gold not to let you contribute to the family with illness. I have already informed the village school of your children. They can go to the school to study. My mother is not used to being served. You three can stay at home with peace of mind. The safety of the family depends on you!" Hua Kai said to Xue Pan.

After Xue Pan arrived at Huajiabao, he tidied himself up. Hua Kai found that he was actually quite young, and looked about the same age as his fourth uncle. He was also an A-level talent. As long as he was trained well, it would not be difficult for him to enter the Xiantian in the future. That was why Hua Kai was unwilling to let him go to the Xiongnu with him with injuries!

Seeing that the Hua family was determined, Xue Pan knew that he was really worried about his health. Xue Pan did not want to think about the past. Since he came to Huajiabao and the owner was really kind to him, Xue Pan suddenly felt that his life was not so bad. He could accompany his two children and live in such a Huajiabao for a lifetime. It was actually quite good!

There were more and more carriages on the official road outside the village. Every day, some caravans stopped outside Huajiabao, which could add some income to the family.

That afternoon, Hua Kai heard that the Shen family was visiting. He returned to the main courtyard and saw that his grandfather, fourth uncle, and housekeeper were all there. The Shen family was sitting on a chair drinking tea. When he saw Hua Kai come in, he hummed and turned his head away.

"I've heard of ungratefulness, and I really encountered it. My Shen family just gave you the qualification to trade horses, and Huajiabao made money and immediately invested in the Han family. Does the head of the Hua family think this is okay?" The visitor Hua Kai had some impression that the second aunt's brother was not presentable in the Shen family, but he came to the Hua family today to test the Hua family?

"The Hua family can't afford to be ungrateful. Everything is arranged by the county master. The Hua family dare not offend the Shen family. Even if the Hua family does not follow the Shen family to do business in the future, our friendship will not be there. Uncle Shen is joking!"

Hua Kai answered appropriately. He first brought up the Han family just to block the other party's words. Shen Bao could only smile embarrassedly when he heard this. He could be arrogant in the Hua family, but he dared not say that the Han family was not.

"I've heard that the Hua family has a new genius boy who is eloquent and talented. Today, I see that the rumors are true. I wonder if what you said today can represent the entire Huajiabao." Hua Kai heard this and saw that his fourth uncle was already a little angry. He was about to stand up and argue with him. Hua Kai raised his hand to signal him not to worry. "I am the head of the Hua family and the owner of Huajiabao. Of course, I have the right to represent the entire Huajiabao. I don't know if the head of the Shen family knows that you came to the Hua family this year. Can you represent the entire Shen family?" Hearing Hua Kai say this, Shen Bao stood up directly from the chair. As a member of the Shen family's side branch, he came here today just to give the Hua family a warning. The Shen family dared not disobey the Han family's orders, but if they let Huajiabao go so easily, where would the Shen family's face in Guang County be! "Haha! Today I finally saw how powerful the Hua family is. I came to the Hua family just to remind them kindly. In this case, let's all pray for the best! Businessmen outside are not based on enthusiasm. Don't think that the Hua family can be arrogant just because they have a Qi training realm. Let's wait and see!" Shen Bao smiled contemptuously and walked out of the living room.

"Thank you for the Shen family's kindness! Butler, please help me send Uncle Shen off! If a Qi training realm person goes out and encounters a lone wild beast, he may lose his life. You have to send him out of Huajiabao. It's none of our business if he leaves Huajiabao!" Hua Kai said deliberately.

"Okay, patriarch! I will definitely watch Mr. Shen walk out of Huajiabao!" Hua Fu said in cooperation.

"You..." Shen Bao's face turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only turn around and leave.

This time he promised the family that he could persuade the Hua family to join the Shen family team. After all, a Qi training realm person is crucial to every merchant team, but who would have thought that the Hua family's attitude would be so tough.

After leaving the main courtyard of the Hua Family, Shen Bao saw that the housekeeper Hua Fu had been following him. Thinking of what Hua Kai had just said, he did not dare to stay in the Hua Family Castle. He was just a small Qi Condensation Realm, and the other party could still deal with him casually. When Hua Kai said that he wanted to let him have an accident, he felt a murderous intent. After leaving the Hua Family Castle, he left quickly with several servants, not daring to stay for a moment.
