"Zhou Wu, how is the Crown Prince?"

When Li Tiancheng saw Zhou Wu come out, he quickly went up to ask him what was wrong, and glanced at the Crown Prince in the operating room. He was probably still fast asleep because the effects of the anesthetic hadn't worn off.

"The surgery went smoothly. Now the prince needs to rest well and then undergo simulated rehabilitation training."

"You mean, the Crown Prince will no longer be lame?"

"should be."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Li Tiancheng said nothing, but the undisguised expression on his face clearly showed that he was very happy.

"Zhou Wu, thank you."

Empress Yang Nan was also so excited that her eyes were full of tears, but she was holding them back.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is merely my duty."

With the Emperor and Empress present, the Crown Princess could only restrain herself and not rush in to see the Crown Prince. However, hearing Zhou Wu's words, she felt a little more at ease.

Everyone got the answer they wanted, except for the Fourth Prince Li Zheng, whose heart was in turmoil. The matter that seemed settled had been overturned by Zhou Wu. Although he was furious inside, he still had to wear a fake smile on his face.

"The effects of the medicine on the Crown Princes have not yet worn off, and they need to rest recently. Please try not to disturb them."

"Someone, pass on my order: no one except Zhou Wu is allowed to disturb the Crown Prince's rest."

"promise."

Li Zheng didn't know if Li Tiancheng's message was aimed at him, but he knew he needed to keep a low profile recently.

In the following period, thanks to Zai Hongfei's careful care, the Crown Prince recovered rapidly and is now basically able to walk short distances. Zhou Wu's contribution was also indispensable, as he devised a rehabilitation training plan for the Crown Prince, which also helped with his recovery.

The Crown Princess noticed the Crown Prince's daily changes and kept Zhou Wu's gratitude in her heart. If it weren't for Zhou Wu, who knows what earth-shattering changes would have occurred in the Crown Prince's residence.

Crown Prince Li Junren could also feel his body recovering. Now he was completely obedient to Zhou Wu, eating when told to eat and leaving when told to leave, without the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction.

The news that Zhou Wu had cured the Crown Prince spread far and wide. The officials were amazed that Zhou Wu, who was clearly a military general, was also proficient in medicine, and that his medical skills were even better than those of the imperial physicians. The rumors spread even more widely among the common people, who said that Zhou Wu possessed magical powers, which was why he was able to cure the Crown Prince's leg.

. . . . . . .

"Okay, okay, okay, keep going. Come on, walk in a straight line, take a few steps now and then."

Li Junren can now walk normally without any aids.

Li Junren released all his pent-up grievances at this moment. He smiled, but his eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, he regarded Zhou Wu as his closest relative.

"Your Highness, it's really healed."

The Crown Princess also wept with joy. The Crown Prince's residence had experienced too much and suffered a lot of criticism during this period.

"Zhou Wu, thank you."

There were no fancy words, but these two simple "thank yous" contained Li Junren's greatest trust and gratitude.

After some time, Li Junren's health had basically recovered. Zhou Wu gave him some more instructions and then prepared to leave.

"Wouldn't it be better to stay in the capital?"

Li Junren really wanted to keep Zhou Wu by his side.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered me to build the Great Dragon Navy, and it is at a critical moment. We really cannot do without you."

Actually, this was a loophole that Zhou Wu had found, because Zhou Wu currently held two positions: the commander of the Qingyang Army and the commander of the Great Dragon Empire's navy. Neither of these positions were in the capital, so Zhou Wu wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible before Li Tiancheng could react.

Zhou Wu was determined to leave, so Li Junren could not force him to stay and could only wish him well.

The day after bidding farewell to the Crown Prince, Zhou Wu took his family and sailed to Niujia Town.

Both Li Tiancheng and Li Junren bestowed a lot of gold and silver upon them this time, and Zhou Wu gave it all to Zai Hongfei. Zai Hongfei's Medicine King Valley is currently in dire need of money. Although the clinics in Niujia Town are almost entirely contracted out to Medicine King Valley, Zai Hongfei has not made exorbitant profits from them, but instead dispenses medicine at reasonable prices.

However, Medicine King Valley has a large population. In addition to food, drink and sanitation, it also needs to establish a medical school to train more doctors. The medical school was established by Zai Hongfei on Zhou Wu's advice. All students who pass the examination and enter the medical school do not have to pay a penny of tuition, and all their food, drink and sanitation are taken care of by the school.

This directly led to medical school becoming the most sought-after place in Niujia Town. Almost everyone wanted to send their children to medical school, since it was free and they could become doctors after graduation.

It was precisely because Zai Hongfei provided such good benefits that Medicine King Valley, which originally had some savings, saw its financial data decline sharply. This caused Zai Hongfei to ask Zhou Wu for money every few days. Fortunately, Zhou Wu valued education, so he generously ordered that a subsidy be allocated to the medical school every year, which finally gave Zai Hongfei some relief.

By the time Li Tiancheng realized what was happening, Zhou Wu had already returned to Niujia Town. However, Li Tiancheng had not yet decided where to place Zhou Wu, so he did not send anyone to summon Zhou Wu back.

. . . . . . . .

"Niujia Town is still the best, with that familiar smell of cow dung."

As Zhou Wu walked through the fields, looking at the various crops that had ripened and were waiting to be harvested by the farmers, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment. It was hard to imagine that just two years ago, Niujia Village was a place where people couldn't even get enough to eat, but now its development had surpassed that of Qingyang County.

Niujia Town is no longer that obscure and remote town.

Every few days, ships would transport large quantities of salt from the salt fields to the capital.

The wharf has been expanded again and again because the development of maritime trade has far exceeded Zhou Wu's expectations. Now, the presence of Dalong merchants can be seen throughout Southeast Asia. The location of the wharf in Niujia Town is right at the outlet of Dalong's sea route to Southeast Asia. Countless merchants stop here to resupply, consume, and trade. The income of the wharf has far exceeded that of the fishing industry, becoming the largest revenue industry in Niujia Town.

The marine fishing industry was once the primary revenue-generating industry in Niujia Town. Although it is not as profitable as the dock now, it still brings a lot of revenue to Niujia Town and provides many jobs.

Surprisingly, the third-ranked industry was shipbuilding, which was a bit of a surprise to Zhou Wu. Back then, the shipyard owner was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Zhou Wu happened to need to buy a ship. To save trouble, he bought the shipyard as well. Unexpectedly, this unintentional act has brought him such a pleasant surprise. Gong Sheng, the original manager, was kept by Zhou Wu after he sold the shipyard to him and became the shipyard's manager.

Zhou Wu once suspected that Gong Sheng must be very regretful, but he didn't expect that Gong Sheng was extremely happy every time he saw him. In his own words, being the boss was much easier than being the manager. He was indeed the chosen working class.
