Throne of Vientiane Civilization

It is obviously unrealistic to let Manxianglou move to the Wood Elf Village.

Not to mention that Manxianglou is a state-owned enterprise and is not for sale. Even if it can be sold, moving Manxianglou to the Wood Elf Village, let alone the daily food supply problem, how to solve this problem?

Faced with the whimsical idea of ​​the Wood Elves, Xiao Li, as a receptionist, simply asked a question to make them give up this idea.

After the season enters summer, the daytime is longer. It is estimated that there are still three hours before dark. Of course, they don’t plan to be idle. They take the carriage and go straight to the market. Obviously, they are ready to go shopping.

During this period, Xiao Li just gave a friendly reminder.

"My personal suggestion is that you should not buy any large items such as furniture this time. It is not convenient to transport in the forest, and it is also a problem to move them back."

"Our construction team has started to build the road. When the road is built, we can pay some tolls and directly send the things in by carriage."

Listening to Xiao Li's words, the wood elves, including Locke, all nodded subconsciously, thinking that what he said made sense.

However, even if they did not buy large items, their shopping enthusiasm did not diminish at all. In less than two hours, the things they bought had filled up two freight carriages, and their shopping for the day came to a temporary end.

It's not that they have bought everything, but that their wallets have been emptied at this time.

After all, they bought according to the population of the whole village, so the quantity is large.

Even if the unit price of an item is only one copper coin, if you want to buy 100 pieces, the price will directly rise to one silver coin.

Not to mention that most of the things they want to buy will not be as cheap as one copper, and the quantity is more than 100 pieces.

During this time, looking at the two fully loaded freight wagons, Xiao Li once again issued a friendly reminder.

"Since these two wagons are full, why not hire two drivers to deliver the items in these two wagons first? In order to avoid the workload being piled up at once, it will be difficult to move them."

"That makes sense, then hire two drivers to send the two wagons back first. Also, I feel that the freight wagons may not be enough, and we probably need to rent five more!"

Obviously, even the wood elves themselves underestimated their shopping ability.

Facts have proved that the five freight wagons they rented before were indeed not enough. When they went back, the purchased items filled up fifteen freight wagons. Xiao Li, who accompanied them throughout the reception, couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat.

During this period of time, the wood elves really spent money like water. This crazy purchase, plus daily expenses, as well as the cost of renting a house, renting a car, and renting people, cost at least tens of thousands of silver coins.

Even Xiao Li, who had prepared himself mentally in advance, couldn't help but be a little jealous at this moment.

He felt that he would never be able to earn the money that the wood elves had spent in this period of time.

But there was no point in being jealous, because they really had a mine at home, so they became rich overnight, right?

Now the aura of the nouveau riche was fully revealed, and even Locke, the chief of the wood elves who had been restrained at the beginning, was now completely relaxed.

At night, lying on the dry and comfortable bed, Locke looked at ease.

During this time, the sound of the bed next door came over.

"Chief, how about we stay a few more days?"

"Yes, stay a few more days..."

Hearing this, Locke, who was lying there, agreed subconsciously.

During this time in Da Zhou, it was indeed very comfortable and peaceful. Now he finally understood why those guys didn't want to go back at all. Not to mention them, even he himself had the urge to just stay here.

But he was still the chief after all. Thinking of the tribesmen who were still waiting for them to return in the village, Locke, who had reacted, immediately said angrily...

"Stay longer? Counting the time on the way back and forth, we have been in Da Zhou for almost a month. No, we must go back. We will set off early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early tonight and don't think about anything!"

No one spoke all night. The next morning, under Locke's urging, the wood elves had their last breakfast in Manxianglou, and then took a carriage to officially embark on the return journey.

When Locke and his team arrived outside the basin forest, the logging team that was busy here had just finished logging in the area.

After that, the engineering team repaired the ground here, and a simple dirt road that could be used for carriages was completed.

As for the wood cut during the period, all of them were sent to Green Forest City, where there is a ready-made wood processing plant. After processing, they will be sent here and can be directly used in the construction of subsequent mining sites.

If there are any more, send them to the surrounding mountain camps, where some materials are needed for the construction of the camps.

The work here is going smoothly. I believe that the mining field here can be officially started before winter.

At the same time, in the mountainous area, without the threat of wind weasels, the exploration team quickly completed the exploration of the remaining mountainous areas, updated the map, and sent it to Zhou Xu.

Looking at the updated map, it is not difficult to see that the outermost circle of mountains in the mountainous area to the south is one of the mountains surrounding the basin forest. These two areas are connected to some extent.

Of course, the mountain wall facing the Basin Forest is too vertical and steep to go down. If you want to enter the Basin Forest, you can only go through the canyon outside Green Forest City.

Zhou Xu was not too surprised by this update of information.

When he discovered the basin forest and looked at the surrounding mountains, he already had some conjectures in his mind. Now he can only say that his conjectures have been confirmed.

After that, time passed quietly, and we passed the hottest summer of the year. As the temperature gradually dropped, the season entered autumn, which symbolizes harvest.

In recent times, grain harvest reports from various farms in the New World have been delivered to Zhou Xu one after another.

According to the latest statistics, the New World's grain harvest this autumn is enough to achieve self-sufficiency under normal circumstances.

To put it simply, according to the grain output here, it is no problem to maintain the daily consumption of the people, but it cannot save much grain.

This is inseparable from the improvement in people's living standards after Zhou Xu came to power.

After all, when Yan Sheng was in power, many people might only eat one meal a day, and they might not even be full.

But since Zhou Xu came to power, the people here in the New World have basically been able to live a life of two full meals a day.

This kind of life is undoubtedly wonderful for the people, but it also leads to an increase in food consumption.

The current situation has formed...

But this is not a difficult task for Zhou Xu.

Anyway, there is no problem with the grain production in the Old Continent. If there is no grain stored in the New Continent, we can just transfer it from the Old Continent.

Under this premise, the complete recovery of grain production capacity in the New World will undoubtedly further reduce the pressure on grain transportation on both sides.

It allows him to free up more manpower and use it for development, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
