Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 802 Further Cooperation
Kong Daqian just put forward his own ideas. He naturally had no objection to His Majesty's move to merge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into the Ministry of Propaganda.

This is also a trouble-free operation for Zhou Xu, which means that in the next period of time, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be done by the Propaganda Department.

If the work pressure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs becomes greater in the future, he will consider opening a separate department, but it is obviously not necessary now.

[Calculate the time, the wood elves should be almost there. 】

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Kong Daqian.

"Next, the first task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to negotiate cooperation with the wood elves!"

While talking, Zhou Xu explained the key points of the matter to Kong Daqian.

Kong Daqian was also a smart man, and he quickly understood what their Majesty meant.

Fortunately, the work of the Propaganda Department here has come to an end temporarily. He can take advantage of this time to go to the Wood Elves to discuss cooperation with them.

After accepting the task, Kong Daqian quickly resigned and prepared to set off to talk to the wood elves.

He was neatly dressed from head to toe, and looked out of place with the tribesmen in the village who still went barefoot, wore old clothes, and maintained their original ecology.

The surrounding clansmen also listened with yearning.

The wood elves who participated in the exchange group now look like city dwellers.

It turned out that they asked for cooking utensils, but there were no cooking utensils. They asked for seasonings but there were no seasonings. Well, nothing could be done.

"The hot pot at Manxianglou is really a good thing. It's such a big copper pot. It's split in the middle. Half of it is white soup and half of it is red soup. The white soup is bone soup made from big pig bones. It's called a fragrant soup. The red soup is even more incredible. It uses chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, which are rare things. They have to be transported from a far away place called the rainforest, plus butter..."

Compared with clothing problems and life problems, food problems undoubtedly make them more uncomfortable after returning...

Spread your hands and spread them out.

Not to mention seasoning, they basically have no seasoning.

At the same time, on the first day back, the wood elves who returned to their homes just lay down on the bed one second, and then got up again two seconds later with uncomfortable expressions.

It's not like they haven't tried taking off their shoes and going back to how they were before, but it turns out that they can't go back.

But the cooking techniques are simply not comparable to Da Zhou.

"Do you know about hot pot?"

As the wood elf spoke, his saliva began to secrete unconsciously. Recently, he has been thinking about hot pot almost crazy.

I saw that somewhere in the village, a group of wood elves were surrounding a certain clansman, listening to the other party talking vividly about something called 'hot pot'.

Without a dry bed and warm bedding, the bed in front of them was obviously damp, making it difficult for them to sleep.

After returning from the fight, he found that it was impossible to live this life.

For a while, they couldn't stand it anymore and decided to cook by themselves to see if they could learn from Da Zhou's cooking techniques and improve their daily diet.

Not to mention the awkward feeling of the soles of their feet stepping on the soft soil, the coldness coming up from the soles of their feet was now unbearable for them. They had better put on their shoes, socks and clothes more quickly. Needless to say.

What they wood elves eat every day is actually not bad. In addition to various hunting game, they also have fruits picked from the forest.

At the same time, on the wood elf side...

At the same time, the most unbearable thing for them is boredom!

In the past, they felt very comfortable just leaning under the tree and dozing off. But now, after seeing the prosperity of Dazhou, they just feel bored, a kind of boredom with nothing to do! It’s very uncomfortable to even display it badly!
They are afraid of comparison in everything. If there was no comparison before, they would not have this feeling. But now that there is comparison, they just feel that nothing in this village is good.

Everyone's mind was filled with thoughts about their previous life in Dazhou. "When do you think the next exchange visit will be?"

Not long after they came back, they were already thinking about their next exchange visit.

At this moment, a wood elf ran over slowly and pulled away the wood elf who was busy bragging.

"What's going on? Why are you pulling me?"

"The patriarch is looking for you, that's all."

While he was talking, he was already dragged to the clan leader.

At first glance, he quickly discovered that all the clan members who had participated in the exchange group had arrived, and he was the only one missing, so he quickly went in and sat down.

Seeing that everyone in the tribe was here, Locke coughed twice and formally talked about the matter.

"I'm calling everyone here this time because we will soon have further cooperation with Dazhou. The current cooperation content is mainly the exchange of resources and items, so I want to ask everyone what you think."

As soon as Locke finished speaking, an excited voice sounded among the clan members.

"hot pot!"

After hearing this, many tribesmen's eyes lit up and they responded.

At the same time, the tribesmen who wanted other things also followed suit...

"We don't have enough clothes, pants, and shoes to change."

"Furniture, come here with some furniture. The things in the house are so convenient to use now."

"I want a dry and warm bedding..."

"Even if you change the bedding from Dazhou, it will still become damp here, right? This is an environmental problem."

"How about changing the seasoning?"

"The seasoning is good! We can use it when making food!"

"There are also tableware and cooking equipment. It's best to replace them all."

"..."

As an exchange group for the wood elves, they had seen the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted too many things. As soon as this topic was brought up, all the wood elves present immediately started talking about it.

During this process, the wood elf clan leader Locke, who had initiated this topic, had no room to intervene at all.

But seeing the excitement of the tribesmen, a drop of cold sweat slowly slipped from Locke's forehead.

He could feel that the tribesmen wanted to get a lot of things from Da Zhou, and there were all kinds of things. There were some things that he had never even heard of.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that this cooperation revolves around the exchange of resources and items.

In other words, if they want something from Da Zhou, they have to exchange it for what Da Zhou wants.

Locke doesn't mind much about the matter itself, but the question now is, is there really what Zhou wants in their clan?
Even if there is, can it really be exchanged for what so many tribesmen want?

Thinking of this, Locke really had no idea at all.
