Chapter 1129: Good Days Are Coming

The Western Development Group is now looking quite respectable; at the very least, everyone is already living in wooden houses. Although they are still worlds apart from the houses in Huaxia, the good thing is that the first step has been taken. Everyone is looking forward to a beautiful future; the pasture has lush water and grass, and the arable land has also been cleared.

The excrement of both livestock and people has already been collected and piled up in the cleared fields, then mixed with grass and wood ash and covered with soil for composting. Once spring arrives, after spreading the fertilizer and plowing the fields for sowing, the good days will truly have arrived.

What makes them even happier is that a road is about to be built here. A few days ago, a team of people already arrived here, saying they were here to plan the route. On foot, it would take four days to reach it, and it will likely take more than twenty days to finish building the road here, which will completely open up the path between Lema City and the Western Development Group.

The mood of Ce and the others immediately reached its peak. They never expected the road to be built so quickly; they had thought they would have to wait until the end of next year to see if there was a chance, but they didn't expect it to happen this year. It seems Huaxia attaches extreme importance to this place; otherwise, they wouldn't have provided such great support to allow them to connect the road so quickly.

Once the road is connected, more professional personnel can come to search for various mineral resources and help set up various factories here, taking the first step in the great construction of the Western Development Group. The current Western Development Group can be considered a relatively poor and weak town.

However, they know nothing about everything happening in Huaxia, thinking it is still as peaceful as before, developing slowly forward. These people who were brought over have now completely fallen in love with this place; their identification with and love for Huaxia are certainly not as high as that of Ce and the others.

But because they are eating the food provided by Huaxia, living in Huaxia's territory, enjoying everything of Huaxia, and having seen the beautiful and wealthy everything of Huaxia, they are able to bind themselves to Huaxia. Otherwise, they could now treat Ce as their Tribal Chief and treat this place as a new tribe.

If it weren't for the road surveying team arriving, everyone would have forgotten that Huaxia still has to manage this place. This is, of course, a very good thing for them, because once Huaxia completely brings this place under its jurisdiction and can send supplies and resources over, their development speed will be much faster.

Ce can be considered to have achieved significant political success here, but he has already prepared himself to struggle here for many years. Five years or ten years are both fine; he is still young. The King has said that they can live for a very, very long time. In that case, he doesn't need to rush to get married or rush back to Huaxia to find a woman. He will just endure here, and once he has accomplished a great career, he can return to Huaxia, reach the sky in a single bound, and rank among the high-level officials of Huaxia, with nobility, a surname, and wealth—having everything one could desire.

As for women and children, he can have as many as he wants. Never mind five years; even after ten years, he will still be under thirty. At such an age, according to the King's words, it is the age most capable of producing excellent children. By then, he will have status, wealth, and a strong body, and the children he produces will definitely be able to be raised to be more excellent than the children of his peers, and he won't have to let them suffer so much.

The other few people have similar thoughts, but they haven't thought as far ahead. Wuzhong doesn't have much on his mind; as long as he can make contributions to Huaxia and has a place in Huaxia to utilize his abilities, that is enough.

He feels quite good here; he has no restrictions and does whatever he wants. Anything he wants to build or try, he can get to work on. It's just that sometimes, there are some things he can't figure out and he always gets stuck; he just lacks that bit of guidance. This is the only bad thing about this place. If there were a more skilled Carpenter here to give him a little guidance, he could save a lot of time.

The doctor Yuzhu cannot stay here too long because he can also be considered as only acquiring internship experience here. It's just that this internship location is a bit too remote and far away, too difficult, and everything is lacking—even medicine is scarce—and he still has to take on other tasks.

Fortunately, this year he has also searched for and recorded many species, though he doesn't know if any of them can be used. He is still a bit weak in this aspect; after all, he is not that professional. He can distinguish all the medicinal herbs in all parts of Huaxia, but searching for new medicinal herbs is a bit difficult for him.

He cannot go back this year, but according to normal circumstances, next year Huaxia will send a new person to take over his work, treating this place as an internship location for young people who have just graduated. He can also take his internship experience back to Huaxia to work and continue his studies at the same time.

Over this past year, he has also learned why they were forced to go for internships, because sometimes, the environment and actual situation will force them to practice a new technique, or rather, to perfect the techniques they had before.

For example, suturing. During this year, he performed many suturing surgeries. When he was in Huaxia City, he started by practicing on pork with skin, and later he was able to suture under the guidance of his teacher.

But here, he has no one to guide him and can only rely on himself. Moreover, the wounds are of all kinds and in different locations, completely different from the simple wounds he sutured in Huaxia. But here, if he doesn't suture them, no one will.

From being terrified at the beginning to now, he is already able to suture wounds with great composure, without any excitement at all. Only such a doctor can be considered barely qualified; after arriving in Huaxia, he will also be able to handle things on his own.

In Huaxia City, he never had such opportunities. He has even performed deliveries many times. The Western Development Group has had more than thirty children born this year, and as winter approaches, there will be another peak in births, and he will have to deliver another dozen or so.

However, what he is very proud of is that among these thirty-plus children, only one died, and all the others have been raised successfully. This success rate can be considered top-tier even in Huaxia. Once he returns to Huaxia, he will have the capital to show off in front of his classmates.

In his hands, the illnesses he has treated are countless, the wounds he has sutured are countless, and he has even delivered dozens of children himself. Who else would dare to say he is not a qualified doctor?

He has even handled cases of fractures. Although the process was a bit difficult, the patient's arm can now basically move, and there is no obvious distortion visible on the outside. This is also something worth boasting about; he is not just generally respected here.

As for the level of respect, Yuzhu is first because he saves lives, Wuzhong is second because he has skills and is capable, and Ce can only rank third. This is mainly because Ce's status is high and he is a leader, so everyone fears him.
