Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Zhou Xu used a flying pigeon to inform Greenwood City about the news from Locke, and then asked Greenwood City to notify them in advance.

After all, for this kind of cooperation, the other party will undoubtedly need some time to prepare.

As for their diplomatic mission from the Great Zhou Dynasty, they had just set off from Xianyang City. According to the speed of movement of the diplomatic mission, it would take half a month to get there no matter how fast it was.

During this time, Zhou Xuze continued to be busy with his own affairs.

Spring is always a busy season. Although there are already spring plowing to worry about, this year the new policy of compulsory education has been launched, as well as the exchange and cooperation with the wood elves, plus the daily government affairs of various departments. Rang Zhou Xu's recent days have not been leisurely.

Under this premise, Li Bowen's joining has relieved the work pressure of their Qinzheng Palace to a great extent.

Of course, Huo Qubing also contributed a lot.

His top-notch panel is there. Since becoming his assistant officer, Huo Qubing's work ability has been continuously improving.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huo Qubing has shown that his working ability is significantly better than that of Li Bowen, but he is still far from reaching his limit.

This also brought about new changes in the distribution arrangements of daily work documents at Qinzheng Palace.

The most important and important documents at present were all reviewed by Zhou Xu personally, and the next level documents were handed over to Huo Qubing. The next level documents, which were originally handled by Huo Qubing, all fell into the hands of Li Bowen.

Li Bowen has been in the limelight recently. He entered the Qinzheng Hall and seemed to have no real power, but he became a close minister of His Majesty and also had the qualification to review government affairs.

Although His Majesty is still the one who makes the final decision, whenever he encounters a tangled matter, His Majesty is still not allowed to discuss it with them?

In other words, these two assistants who seemed to have no real power could actually influence Zhou's policies and even all aspects of affairs.

At the same time, compared with other officials, they work together with His Majesty in the Qinzheng Palace every day. They can directly advise His Majesty and can speak well when His Majesty is around, which is another major advantage.

To give a simple example, if he has a problem with someone now and finds a suitable opportunity to say a few words in His Majesty's ear, that guy's career may come to an end. Just ask who dares to provoke him, right?

This also allows Li Bowen to have the same aloof status as Huo Qubing.

Even in the eyes of ordinary officials, his status is probably higher than Huo Qubing.

Because that kid Huo Qubing only thinks about work and doesn’t care about other things and doesn’t interact with other people. But Li Bowen is different! He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! They can't help but be afraid.

Zhou Xu could see the twists and turns in the hearts of the guys below, but he didn't care.

For Zhou Xu, as long as he can get things done well and beautifully, he can turn a blind eye to some insignificant things. After all, it is very tiring to take care of everything.

At the same time, according to the original plan, the exploration team successfully climbed over the mountain after dealing with the giant eagle, and continued to go deeper along the mountain to see if they could go around the mountain to the big lake. The other side.

During this period, since the problem of wind weasels in the mountains area had been initially solved, Zhou Xu also re-arranged the previously withdrawn exploration troops.

Had he already occupied this mountainous forest area, or would it be better to complete the follow-up exploration as soon as possible.

According to the latest intelligence, the work there is going very smoothly. The Feng Weasel has indeed not made any attacks since that incident.

Under this premise, the other party went to their village camp in the mountains every day to eat and drink.

Although the wind weasel is not as big as a thousand-year-old, its appetite is not small. Being eaten like this every day, the food consumption cannot be ignored.

But if you think about it from another angle, the opponent's combat power is also quite outstanding.

In that complex mountain forest environment, the combat power that the Wind Weasel could display was basically equivalent to that of a small army.

Just think of consuming this food as raising a small mountain army. After thinking about it this way, I feel that it is very cost-effective.

In the busyness, half a month passed quietly. With the diplomatic team including Kong Daqian, their carriage arrived at Green Forest City on time.

After a simple confirmation and rest, he quickly contacted the wood elves to prepare for follow-up cooperation talks.

The place of conversation was still set in the open space between the wood elf forest and the canyon.

But what is different from before is that a simple post camp has been set up on this empty land.

This post camp is usually used as a transfer station to transport supplies to the frontline exploration troops, but at times like this, it can also be used as a venue for bilateral talks, which is more comfortable than setting up a set of tables and chairs in the open air.

As the diplomat this time, Kong Daqian naturally arrived early. For the wood elves, it was already two days from receiving the news to rushing over to the official start of the conversation.

"Hello, Chief Locke, I am Kong Daqian, the diplomat who is here to talk to you on behalf of our Great Zhou."

"Hello Hello."

Although Da Zhou's exchange group also stayed in their village for a month before, and he had a lot of contact with them, Locke was still not used to such obviously serious and formal occasions and the related speaking skills.

During this period, Kong Daqian's eyes had been secretly sizing up Chief Locke.

When His Majesty just handed over this diplomatic work to him, he was actually unsure.

The reason why he was able to do the work of the Propaganda Department to promote new policies with ease was because the main target group of the promotion was ordinary people, farmers!

And he himself used to be a farmer, so he knew very well what these people were thinking in their minds and what their mentality would be when faced with this matter.

This allowed him to handle it relatively easily.

But this time it was different. He was really not familiar with the wood elves, and it was his first time to do the job of a diplomat, so he had no confidence at all.

Until now, looking at the appearance of Chief Locke, Kong Daqian suddenly realized that the opposite person seemed to be the same as himself?

No, it seems to be worse than myself!

After clearly realizing this, Kong Daqian's breath suddenly relaxed, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat could be put back into his stomach, and his entire state became more at ease. stand up……

"Then Chief Locke, let's get started directly."
