Throne of Vientiane Civilization

In the end, the wood elves could not resist the temptation of one hundred thousand silver coins and signed an agreement with Kong Daqian.

They were quite generous in their bids. One hundred thousand silver coins was indeed a huge sum of money.

You know, nowadays in their great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people only spend a little over one silver coin on food and drink for a month.

If you save a little, one hundred thousand silver coins can be enough for one hundred thousand people of Great Zhou for a month. At this stage, the total population of Great Zhou is not that large!

And how many people do the wood elves have?

One hundred thousand silver coins would be enough for them to spend several years just for food and drink.

Of course, the expenses of the wood elves cannot be calculated according to the normal expenses of ordinary people. After all, ordinary people in their Zhou Dynasty do not eat at Xiangmanlou every day.

In addition, judging from the things reported by the other party, it seems that the other party also wants to purchase a series of daily necessities such as furniture and clothing in large quantities. The 100,000 silver coins will probably be spent faster than expected.

And this is what they are happy to see!

After a simple consensus was reached, just in case, Kong Daqian told Locke about the possible situations.

For example, they need to cut down some trees and clear some open space.

Although the wood elves love nature, they are not the kind of extremists who would not cut down a single tree. After all, many objects in their own village are made of trees.

What they resist is meaningless destruction, and they don't mind the acquisition of wood when there is a real need for it.

Overall, the conversation went very pleasantly.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. The promised 100,000 silver coins will be delivered with our team at that time."

After finishing his conversation with the wood elf clan leader Locke, Kong Daqian quickly wrote a report and sent it back.

After receiving the report, Zhou Xu showed a smile on his face.

The result of the wood elf's conversation was basically in line with his expectations.

From the beginning, his goal was to buy the mine.

As for what was proposed at the beginning, let the wood elves mine the mineral veins themselves.

If you think about it carefully, it should be clear that this is impossible. According to the current performance of the wood elves, they simply do not have the ability to mine mineral veins by themselves, or they do not want to do this at all.

In the end, it is completely foreseeable that the other party will accept the result that he will buy it out with 100,000 silver coins.

With this wave of cooperation, they not only obtained the diamond veins, but also further deepened their influence on the wood elves. It can be said that they killed two birds with one stone.

Under this premise, since we want to find mineral veins, Zhang Xuemei needs to contribute.

As early as the day Ye Jinghong brought back the diamond, Zhou Xu had already ordered to summon Zhang Xuemei back.

Zhang Xuemei should be on her way back now.

Zhou Xu was not in a hurry. After all, he had to build a mine and mine veins, and the preliminary preparations would take a lot of time.

In this process, the season quietly enters summer...

After Zhang Xuemei arrived in the New World, she went directly to the Forest Basin.

During this process, the 100,000 silver coins packed in several large boxes were successfully delivered to the wood elves.

Opening the lid of the box, under the sunlight, the dazzling silver light of the large number of silver coins made them unable to open their eyes.

For the first time in their lives, the wood elves felt the glory and charm of money.

"Then can we go shopping at the market now?!"

As always, Locke asked the previous members of the exchange group to come with him.

At this moment, each of them was extremely excited.

"Of course. Do you want to set off immediately? If there are a lot of people, it is best to rent a few more carriages. This will make it much more convenient whether moving or transporting things after purchasing."

Having said this, the receptionist of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of the reception quickly explained.

"What needs to be explained here is that your exchange group came to our Dazhou for exchanges before. Because they were entertaining guests, all expenses were reimbursed by us. But if you are going to our Dazhou for shopping now, then All expenses along the way must be paid by yourself.”

Hearing this, the wood elves headed by Locke nodded subconsciously and didn't think there was any problem.

After receiving a clear answer, the receptionist of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke again...

"Then please confirm first. Which city are you going to go shopping in? How many people are going to go? Whether to rent a carriage and other issues, so that I can make arrangements."

As soon as these questions came out, Locke suddenly felt numb, his head was empty, and he basically couldn't answer any of them.

Even at this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have gone to Dazhou in person during the exchange visit, so that he would not be ignorant of everything now.

Compared to the empty-headed Locke, the wood elf who had participated in the exchange group had a much brighter mind.

"Xishan City, let's go to Xishan City! We need to rent a carriage. As for how many people are going, can we go back and discuss it first?"

During the days when he came back, he missed Xishan City so much. Although the nearest Green Forest City also has a market, in comparison, Xishan City is more prosperous, with more things, and he has to buy a lot of things, so Xishan City must be the priority. .

Faced with this problem, the reception staff had no reason not to agree.

"Of course, you can discuss it slowly. I will wait for your news here at the inn. If you need to come to our Dazhou shopping in the future, I will be the person responsible for receiving you. You can just call me Xiao Li."

After bidding farewell to Xiao Li for the time being, the wood elves who returned to their clan area were undoubtedly very lively.

When I signed up for the exchange group before, there were many wood elves who wanted to go, but in the end they were not selected.

Now that the wood elves who had come back from the exchange had been talking about it for so long, the wood elves who had little interest in Dazhou were now eager to give it a try. There were more people who wanted to go, making it suddenly difficult for Locke.

The wood elves who had participated in the exchange group before undoubtedly all wanted to go, and they had every valid reason.

"Since we are going shopping this time, who in the clan knows better than us? Of course we should go there!"

Once you say this, who can refute it?

But that doesn't mean other wood elves just accept it.

"According to what you said, it's you who go every time. When will it be our turn?"

"That's right!"

Suddenly, the scene became noisy again.

At the back, Locke couldn't bear the noise anymore, so he shouted angrily...

"Quiet down! Look what you look like now?!"

After a simple scolding, Locke, who had calmed down slightly as he looked at the quiet tribesmen, brought the topic back to business.

"Okay, let's pick ten from the previous exchange group, and pick ten from those who have never been to Dazhou. At the same time, if we have been this time, we will switch to other tribesmen."

Although Locke didn't understand some things, he also roughly knew that they couldn't spend all these 100,000 silver coins in one go. They would definitely come to Dazhou often in the future, so they made such an arrangement.
