Chapter 1261: Inspection

After Chengqie sobered up, he was still recalling what had happened last night, but just after he had washed his face, a cup of strong tea was brought over, and the servant said to Chengqie: "Master, there are many people outside waiting for you!"

Only then did Chengqie remember what he was supposed to do today, so he hurriedly washed and rinsed simply; while washing, he also asked his servant: "What happened to me last night? I remember I seemed to have gone to drink and keep an appointment, how did I come back, and who sent me back?"

The servant lowered his head and replied: "Master, it was the servant of the Marquis's house who sent you over. You were all drinking at the Marquis's house yesterday, and you were sent over after drinking too much."

Chengqie then recalled it; oh, yes, last night they were all drinking at the Marquis's house, and the Marquis is also the only female Marquis in Huaxia at present, an impression he still held very deeply.

After he finished washing, he hurriedly went out; Pen and the others had already been waiting for a long time, waiting from early morning until nearly noon.

"Leader, you have finally come! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chengqie felt a bit embarrassed: "Last night, a relatively important person in Huaxia returned, and he invited me to go to a gathering to drink together. I drank too much, and just woke up; what about you all, have you eaten breakfast?"

Everyone hurriedly replied: "We have eaten!" Because for such a long time, what else could they do if they didn't eat? It would be too boring if they didn't eat anything, but it must be said that the food in Huaxia is truly delicious; even a porridge can be boiled so deliciously.

"Good, since you have all eaten, then let's hurry up and go, go see our clansmen, and see if they are living well!"

Everyone had already prepared well; as soon as Chengqie spoke, they had already gathered, and it was still very spectacular.

Chengqie himself did not know the location and had to have someone lead the way; this was Chengqie's first time going. To tell the truth, he had been here for so long and had never paid attention to his own clansmen, which was still a bit shameful. Fortunately, he knew that Huaxia would definitely treat everyone equally and would not treat them unfairly.

On the way, they even specifically went to those towns to observe, because the official responsible for leading the way had also received the corresponding notification. The higher-ups said that these towns were the main state of living for the Suiren people in the future, not Huaxia City, so they had already let them make contact in advance, as they liked before.

Chengqie also received this official's reminder, so he also acted as a commentator, explaining to his clansmen some of Huaxia's current policies and the situation in the towns.

And for the Leader, it was quite astonishing that a town so far away from Huaxia City could be so good; furthermore, the official also introduced: "Now, those clansmen of the Suiren who just moved over, because they have not been here long and everything has just begun, it is still very dilapidated, and they can only guarantee everyone's food and heating problems.

The housing problem is also barely solved, but the conditions are relatively poor. Huaxia plans to use four years to build that place into something like these current towns, or even better."

It sounded good, but it was also mentioned that the living and life standards of those people were relatively average because Huaxia did not have that much energy yet. But if in four years everyone could live in such a place, then how could the Suiren people have any objections? Even the stubborn ones were a bit moved.

To be honest, if Huaxia had said from the beginning that everyone should come, and that upon arrival they could live in a place like Huaxia City, he certainly would not have believed it. Such a good place as Huaxia City, they would definitely give it to their own people, how could they give it to the Suiren people? That would be purely to deceive people.

But if it was said this way—that conditions are poor now, but in the next few years it could be built to be the same—that was actually more credible.

Seeing that the preliminary groundwork was almost done, the official directly arranged for the ox carts in the town to take them to that new piece of land, because the place was very new and everything was just starting, so it didn't even have a name.

Up to now, the official's 【staff】 were not particularly in place, and those teachers were not arranged either; they only arranged for some farmers to go and teach how to plow. The houses were also built to their current state only because Huaxia provided the greatest help.

The road had already been cleared, from the city all the way to the place where they lived. When Chengqie and the others went, they found that on a flat piece of land, houses were built in rows, and all were emitting cooking smoke.

Cattle and sheep could already be seen in the fields; although they were wasteland fields because they had just been reclaimed, there were still some grass roots and the like inside that could be used as food for them.

Another thing was that the current cattle pens and sheep pens were not built well enough; shutting them inside was not as good as using a long rope to nail them to the ground, letting them breathe some free air.

Once the Leaders came over, they felt that this place was the same as the farmland they saw in the town, because it had already been divided into blocks, and even in some fields, farm fertilizer had already been piled up, just waiting for the spring to scatter it.

Everything looked like a very mature town; it did not look like a place that had just been reclaimed. But the official who led them spoke very steadily: "This is where those newly arrived Residents live. Everything has just been reclaimed, and this place does not even have a name yet.

Because it is already Winter, many things could not be done in time, so it will be relatively poor, but that does not mean Huaxia is not treating them well; nothing is poor."

As a Leader, Chengqie naturally had to express his stance, determining a main theme: "This is of course understandable. After all, they just arrived, it is impossible for them to be the same as everyone else all at once. If it were like that, who would still be willing to strive, right? Just wait for Huaxia City to arrange for oneself to go to a good place."

Chengqie turned his head and asked his subordinates: "You tell me, is this the logic?"

They were basically forced to answer, because they had no choice but to answer yes; could it be that they still wanted to sing a different tune from Chengqie?

They walked and looked like this, and only when they were about to walk to the place where everyone lived did they see many children playing. Clearly, the children had not seen these strangers. The child in the lead, surprisingly, was not timid at all; he took the Spear he had whittled out of a wooden stick, pointed it at Chengqie, and asked sharply: "Who are you people? Why do you want to come to my place!"

The group of Leaders behind were all scared silly; Pen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You little brat, what are you doing! This is our Leader, Chengqie!"
