Race to the

Throne

Chapter 38: change

Hoa Jiazhi is taking his time at his sister's house, Hao Tai, and enjoying some good tea and snacks

Both brother and sister are talking about here and there thing

While talking, Hao Tai asked something from Hao Jiazhi

She asked "Little brother, I always wanted to ask you something that why you always make a serious face? Am I boring?"

Hao Jiazhi smiled and said "No, it's just my work that asks me to be serious"

Hao Tai is clearly not satisfied with his answer and said "Boring…

But, leaving this question aside, there is something serious that I wanted to ask you

Can I ask?"

Hao Jiazhi nodded

"Alright, I'll be frank than

Little brother, are you hiding something from me?" She asked

"hahaa, what do you mean?

I am hiding nothing from you" Hao Jiazhi replied as he wanted to drop this interrogation but he couldn't avoid her

Hao Tai looked directly into the eyes of Hao Jiazhi and said "I am your sister… We may not have the same mother but still, we have the same father and after your mother, I am the one who knows about you the most

As I have been by your side the most"

Hao Jiazhi remained silent for a while and then with a fake smile he said "What are you saying, are you trying to say that I am some doppelganger or duplicate?"

Hao Tai didn't say anything and just gave a smile

After Hao Jiazhi became silent and Hao Tai became serious, she said "To be true, I sometimes really feel like you are someone else… My heart says no, but my brain says yes

Sometimes, I don't know what shall I believe…

If I believe in my heart, I will lose someone who gave me a reason to live on… Someone who always made me smile and someone who stayed by my side when I was lonely…

But if I believe in my brain, I will have my brother by my side but my heart will be empty"

Her eyes are now all numb and some tears can be seen around her eyes

Hao Jiazhi also became silent as he felt some pain in his heart

He asked "Was I really someone whom you believed so much? As I don't remember my childhood much"

Hao Tai nodded and said "Yes, you were…

After my birth, no one really became happy as I was crippled and everyone said that I will be the biggest thorn in the eyes of the royal clan

And when I grew up and know my conditions, that time I realized that the people beside me are so soft towards me because they pity me

I don't want their pity as it only made me lose my confidence and as time passed by, I thought to just kill myself and that time you held my hands

*Hao Tai is smiling right now as she holds her finger*

I was only 7-year old at that time and you were 4 years old, your fingers were really small and soft at that time

You gave me your candy and said 'Big sister why are you sad? Are you hungry? Here, take my candy'

To others, it was just some innocent words of kids, but to me, they were like a ray of hope

And that time I said to myself that I have to protect you…

Protect this innocence, protect my cute little brother

The reason why we came closer to each other is that we both had some rough time when we were born into this world and both of us had our mother holding us away from death

We both were considered as the trash of royal blood

We both were disrespected by our brothers….

It was a quite rough ride so far…"

Hao Jiazhi became all silent and he also felt some sadness inside his heart

Soon, some images started appearing inside his head, those are the memories of old Hao Jiazhi, the true brother of Hao Tai

As Hao Jiazhi looked at those images, he also started feeling those emotions Hao Jiazhi had back at that time

Which made him feel closer to Hao Tai

Hao Tai looked at Hao Jiazhi and said "Why am I the only one sharing some old stories, you should also share something…"

Hao Jiazhi gave a small smile and nodded. But he has no story to tell her

After some time, he said "I don't remember much about the past, but whenever I try to look at those hazy memories…. I feel cold and sad

So far, I have killed people

Many peoples….

But every time I killed them, I felt a part missing of me….

And after some time, I lost myself

Lost myself to my desire…

Lost myself to fear of death….

Lost myself when I saw my own dear ones betraying me…"

Hao Jiazhi don't know why he is saying these all things but for some reason, he just can't stop himself

He feels calm around Hao Tai

While talking, inside his mind Hao Jiazhi asked 'is this what it means to have a sibling/family?'

On the other hand, Hao Tai silently heard his words but when she heard about dear ones betraying him, she showed a painful expression

An expression that showed that she regrets something, something that can't be forgiven

She moved her wheelchair towards Hao Jiazhi and holds his hand,

She opens his palm and in that palm, she puts a flower made up of clothes

Hao Jiazhi asked about this flower, she said "It is a gift that I have always wanted to give you when you were leaving the imperial palace to Province Jinmen

I wanted to give you this at that time but I couldn't give it

After some search, I finally found it

Here, have this with you…

As a crippled sister, I don't have much to give you"

Tears fell from the eyes of Hao Jiazhi and he asked "Big Sister, can I ask you something?"

"If its something within my reach then I will gladly do it" Hao Tai replied

Hao Jiazhi stood up and puts his chair aside

He lowers his head and puts it on the leg of Hao Tai,

Hao Tai didn't know what he was doing and somewhat felt embarrassed so she tried to push him away, but Hao Jiazhi said "Please… let me put my head on your leg…

It feels so calm that I can't even express in words…"

Hearing this, she didn't push him away anymore

Next day-

Hao Jiazhi is really feeling stupid right now for his actions

"Wake UP!!!, She is nothing more than a pawn for my great future…." Hao Jiazhi said to himself as he looks into the mirror

And then he leaves his room

Little does he know that his heart has long started to change before he could notice it

He is only fooling himself

. . .

Capítulo 39: Chapter 39: Voice of Money

Race to the

Throne

Chapter 39: Voice of Money

Province Kuwon has a total of 4 districts in it and Hao Jiazhi has made plans for each district

Lingyi is the capital district of this province and this place will be the main hub for everyone where all merchant's or people will come and live

Hao Jiazhi has created more than 20,000 shops and various types of entertainment places for the people to come and hang out or live

As for how Hao Jiazhi got so many citizens, it's from the village area from all over the kingdom as only in village area you could get cheap and loyal servants

Hao Jiazhi made/renovated the whole district/city in a way it resembled the earth, as he made sure to build residential and commercial area in a different region

And also make sure that there is proper sanitation, road and law (this law system is not strong as it could have made him lose his black money) system for everyone

He made sure that once someone enters the place, he won't even think about leaving the district ever

Also, to make sure that this district becomes a place for rich people, most of the item that is sold here had a much higher price as compared to any other province or district

But these prices were not pure bullshit but all items had something unique that showed their worth

Also, there were some items that were only sold in this district only, so people have to come from another province to get these items

Now to the next district, Yangjing

This district was like a farmhouse area type, as this district had various types of herbal and flower field all around the place

Making this place very special as it helped one calm mind, though it still lacked tress as there are not many mature trees but still in the future there will be many as they are still growing

More than 5000 houses/mansions were made by Hao Jaizhi here and all of these houses were given on one year lease or monthly rent to the people who want to live and the minimum price or rent for one month was 1,000 Ban liang and the maximum was 10,000 ban liang per month depending on the area and the size of a mansion

Now, the next district, Tianjin

This district was solely based on farming only. No matter how far you can see, the only thing you will see is the farm of rice, wheat, and various other food items

Most of the population of old Province Kuwan lives here

And this one is is way bigger than any other district in the whole province of Kuwon as this place will be the house where all food will be created and exported all over the kingdom and also towards the international market

Now comes District Zhanyi

This is the place where the border of Province Kuwon and its neighbor kingdom comes face to face

And also the place where saffron and other expensive products are grown

This place is also very near to the capital district

The reason why Hao Jiazhi chose this place for saffron and other expensive items to be grown is because of 2 big main reasons-

No.1, he could full govern his saffron and other expensive products

No.2, the defense of this land is in his hand so there is no way anyone would try to snatch his money away

Almost everything in this Province is either owned by Hao Tai or Hao Jiazhi, literally, almost everything and the revenue that will be soon generated by these are going to be something Hao Tai had never imagined in her whole life

Hao Jiazhi kept on spending his money as the New Year came and goes by, and now people have started coming to this city

Just a few days before he had a talk with Han Yachun through his eagle and he comes to know that his '5 shadows' have finally gotten full control over the Huangyi District, the capital district of province Jinmen

And now he is unofficially the head of Province Jinmen and the same goes for Province Kuwon as his 5 shadows have long infiltrated the whole land

Currently, he has around 500 men in his '5 shadows', 150 in each province and the rest on standby

Now, let get back to the main story and see what Hao Jiazhi is been doing as a colonel

As a colonel, Hao Jiazhi could see the dire need for strict training for his soldiers

Thus he had hired ex-military officers and told them to train his team and by the end of the 6th month, Hao Jiazhi could see the results

He had created 3 different teams, archers, cavalry, and foot soldiers

At first, Hao Jiazhi was thinking about using gunpowder (firecrackers has been invented) in the army but he let it down as he doesn't have a proper defense against it

So, it can be a problem for him in the future thus, he never told people that the crackers they burn in festivals can be used to kill someone

Hao Jiazhi also created some medical team and also trained these units as a normal soldier, so that whenever there is a fucked up situation, they all could help each other

Other than this, Hao Jiazhi also created his own battalion unit, and he calls it "Dawn"

There are a total of 50 soldiers in it and all 50 soldiers are well trained in all weapons and medical skills

You can say that this unit was the strongest unit in the whole team as this unit had their own special battle armor, which somewhat resembled demons

The whole armor of this unit was in black color and had various layers of leather all around, giving users the best defense and hiding skill. Also, there horsed were covered in armors

All soldiers carry a sword, dagger, and any bird for message, ropes, shields, and crossbows or bow and arrows. Each soldier is like a walking fortress

The total cost of this armor including the horse armor was around 500,000 ban liang, which way more expensive than the armor of a simple soldier which costs only 50,000 ban liang

Life may be cheap in this world, but the military and luxury items are in no way cheap in this world

Also, at the 6th month of this New Year, Hoa Jiazhi could finally see the profits of his investment

"Little brother, your boxes full of money is coming…" Hao Tai said with a smile as from her behind servants came with large boxes, more than 100 boxes, and then they put the box on the ground

*box cover opens up*

*money starts falling down*

Hao Jiazhi gave a very satisfied look as he hears the voice of money
