Chapter 950: What Can I Obtain?

Baoxi was truly hesitant now, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "Does that mean none of my tribespeople have the chance to enter Huaxia City, or that there is no chance for them to see Huaxia City in the cities that have already been built, right?"

"No, the difference between Huaxia and other tribes lies in the fact that our transportation is relatively convenient. No matter how far away a city is, I will find a way to build a sturdy, solid, and wide road to it. Even if there are mountains in the way, I will find a way to cut through them."

"Basically, after the road is built, it saves nearly half the time for people walking, and ox carts and the like can also pass through. No matter which city you want to go to, you have the opportunity, and it is relatively convenient and safe. At least our current cities are like this. As for the newest city in the west, it has nothing but people, but according to reports, the road will be fully cleared before this coming Winter."

"Another thing is, it's not that none of your people can go to these cities, but that there are too many of you, and the cities simply cannot house everyone, which is why we need to rebuild more and larger cities."

"However, if two or three tens of thousands of people come, we will first select some of the smarter ones and place them in Huaxia City or Lema City to study. If they have sufficient ability, they can stay, right? But most people, after completing their studies, will still need to lead their own tribespeople to develop."

"Hmm, there is one more thing: many places are short of manpower, so in the end, some will be selected and distributed to various cities, but that would be at most one or two thousand people."

This news barely comforted Baoxi; he was not as hesitant as he had been just a moment ago, and his wavering heart was now slightly steadied.

"What about other things? These various tools of Huaxia, and the Medicine—can our tribespeople also come to seek medical treatment?"

Baifeng chuckled: "You don't need to worry about this. As long as they are people of Huaxia, I will certainly guarantee education and medical care first. However, at the moment, Huaxia is short of people. It takes at least three years to train a doctor before they can barely treat minor illnesses. If you want someone capable of treating most illnesses, it takes many more years of training."

"Currently, the number of doctors in Huaxia is not even three hundred. A portion is in Huaxia City, a portion in Lema City, and there are only two or three in each town. There is also a portion specifically trained to follow the army as Military Doctors."

"So Baoxi, I will definitely arrange doctors for your tribespeople; you can even send people to Huaxia City for treatment. But the problem is that there are too many people and too few doctors, so a large portion of people will certainly not be able to see a doctor in time, or they won't be able to wait for one."

"However, this problem is slowly improving. Now, the Huaxia schools can graduate about ten medical students a year. After following a teacher for a year and working at the grassroots level for two years, they are considered qualified doctors. In the future, there will be more and more doctors, and the day will eventually come when there is no shortage of them."

The last bit of unease in Baoxi's heart settled. He had received Baifeng's guarantee, and now he could safely let his tribespeople come to Huaxia. Although it would be fewer, and the treatment would be slightly worse compared to those already in Huaxia, it was much better than being on his own territory.

"Good, no problem. As long as you can guarantee that there will be more in the future, can you tell me more about the education and schools you mentioned?"

Baifeng felt a bit regretful: "It is a rest day now, the students are on holiday, and there is no one at the school. Otherwise, I could take you to see it. Let's do it tomorrow; tomorrow they start classes, and I will take you to see. Let me give you a rough explanation now."

Baoxi sat forward a little, appearing even more serious: "Good, you speak, I will see if I can understand."

"Schools are places where all sorts of things are taught. We generally have children sent to school to study at the age of five, and it is mandatory. They first study the basics for three years, where they are taught to read, write, and do arithmetic."

"After three years, there is an assessment. Those who do well can enter better schools to learn more advanced knowledge, which also takes three years. After three years, they will be divided into specific fields of study based on what they are good at and the work they want to do. The young officials of Huaxia all come out this way."

"Doctors are the same. Very few people can make it to the final school; most people are too slow and don't have the opportunity to continue studying. But since they are already nine or twelve years old, they are young laborers. They can go to various places in Huaxia to do some ordinary work, work that has no special requirements."

"It is precisely because of our schools that our children now basically all know how to do arithmetic, and they can recognize the characters of Huaxia and write them. This is of great help to the development of our Huaxia."

"Your Suiren clan will be the same. I will select enough teachers to teach your children. After passing the assessment, it will also take three years."

"After three years, I can continue to send teachers to build another school to continue their studies. For the final three years, as long as they pass the assessment, they can come to Huaxia to study."

"After finishing their studies in Huaxia, they can go to any city or any place in all of Huaxia, because they will already have the ability to serve as officials in the industry they studied."

"Baoxi, as long as you come, I can guarantee all of this, because this is a necessary means to make Huaxia strong, and also a means to let your tribespeople integrate into Huaxia."

"To be honest, I don't trust you. Besides the fact that Huaxia truly doesn't have the capacity to accept everyone, I am also afraid that if more people than my Huaxia population come to Huaxia, they will seize our fruits of labor."

"But as long as I do this, once they complete their studies, they won't have such thoughts. They won't say 'I am a person of the Suiren clan' anymore; they will be a Huaxia person. Of course, I can keep your Suiren clan name, and even the cities you build can be called Suiren City."

"Baoxi, I have spoken so clearly now. How you choose is entirely up to you. No matter what purpose you came with, this is your last chance. If you agree to my conditions, then we will push this matter forward. If you don't agree, you can play for a few days and then leave, and never bring this matter up again."

Baoxi's hands clenched into fists, feeling extremely tormented. He asked Baifeng in a very low voice: "Then what about me? I am a tribesman of a large tribe of hundreds of thousands. If I bring our tribespeople to Huaxia, what can I get?"
