Chapter 782 Exchange Visit
During the time he left, except for those particularly important and urgent documents that would be sent to him by messengers all the way, other documents that needed him to deal with have now piled up. Got up a lot.
This also made Zhou Xu, who had just returned to the Imperial Palace in Xianyang City, immediately throw himself into work without even taking a break.
Obviously, the work that has accumulated for a long time cannot be easily handled by Zhou Xu in a day or two after returning, let alone new documents being delivered every day.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu was busy until dark.
As for Huo Qubing, considering his physical condition, Zhou Xu directly sent him back to rest.
After approving another document, Zhou Xu twisted his stiff neck and saw Hilke walking in with a cup of soup.
Looking at the cup of soup, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows. Hilke immediately understood and said softly...
"This chicken soup was sent by the Imperial Concubine."< br>
Zhou Xu’s Qinzheng Hall is a major office area, and no idlers are allowed to enter and exit at will. The maid who came to deliver soup was naturally blocked outside.
Now looking at the chicken soup, Zhou Xu pointed to the table next to him.
"Put it aside."
At this moment, there are already two cups of soup on the table next to it. With this cup, there are exactly three cups.
After nightfall, his concubines, whom he had not seen for a month, also ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare soup and bring it over, and they wanted to know where he would rest tonight.
Zhou Xu had already informed Silke about this, and his answer was always that he was busy with government affairs recently and rested in the Qinzheng Hall.
Although he and his three concubines have not seen each other for a month, whether he is cold-blooded or callous, Zhou Xu does not miss them much, and it is far less important than the work in front of him.
When he took in three concubines, in addition to considering the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty and indeed needing an heir, it was more of a means for him to split up the officials of the old dynasty party.
As long as they don't cause trouble, he will not treat his three concubines harshly. At the same time, he will satisfy them as much as possible materially, but this does not mean that they have any feelings for each other.
Not to mention anything else, he is indeed a little hungry after being so busy.
Zhou Xu stood up and walked over to take a look.
If he hadn't known that the three soups were pigeon soup, pork ribs soup and chicken soup, he would have suspected that they were made from one pot in the imperial dining room.
A cook who can enter the imperial dining room must be very good at his craftsmanship. The three cups of soup smell good, but it would be fatal to let him drink three cups alone.
At this moment, Silk ran in again and whispered to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu’s eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
"Quick, let him in."
Not long after, a figure wearing a black robe walked quickly into the Qinzheng Hall.
“Your Majesty, Ye Jinghong, is here to see you!”
At this moment, the man in black robes who appeared in the Qinzheng Hall was none other than Ye Jinghong!
"Jinghong, you're here just in time, Hilke, come too. There are three cups of soup here, one for each of us, just in time to have a midnight snack together."
Whether it's Ye Jinghong Silke is still an old man under Zhou Xu, and he is also his confidant. Although he is loyal to him, he is not as restrained as the officials who came to serve him later.
Now that Zhou Xu had spoken, Silke and Ye Jinghong did not refuse. They sat down obediently and drank the soup one cup at a time.
Of course, while drinking the soup, Ye Jinghong did not forget the purpose of coming here. "Your Majesty, these are the results of the investigation during this period."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Received the report document handed over by Ye Jinghong , Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to read, but took the lead and told Ye Jinghong about another thing.
"By the way Jinghong, just some time ago, we have reached an alliance with the wood elves near the territory. After discussion, we decided to send fifteen people from both sides for exchange visits. I plan to let you join these fifteen people. Let’s go together.”
The so-called exchange visit, in addition to deepening their understanding of each other, is to take the opportunity to see what good things the other party has.
In this way, their ideas will be clearer when they cooperate in the future.
The reason why Zhou Xu asked Ye Jinghong to join the exchange group is not only because of his high efficiency and outstanding personal abilities, but also because Ye Jinghong is currently the only one in Da Zhou who has the ability to A person with an eye for peeping into secrets.
If there is really something good in the wood elf village, or in that forest, it will definitely not escape Ye Jinghong’s eyes.
Ye Jinghong was not a fool. With a quick thought, he understood what their king meant and accepted the task.
After that, Zhou Xu turned his attention to Silk again.
“Silk, considering that they are all elves, I also plan to arrange for a few elves to join the exchange group. The other grassland elves have important work arrangements and cannot leave for too long, so this The candidates have to be selected from your personal guard.”
This exchange visit does not mean that you will go there for a few days and then come back. In order to better experience each other’s lives, he set up this exchange cycle. Set for one month.
Considering this time span, compared to the prairie elves who have important jobs, choosing the elf knights in the personal guard is undoubtedly a more suitable choice.
"You have already been to the Wood Elf village once. In comparison, the Wood Elf side should be more familiar with you. I plan to let you lead the team so that if anything happens during the communication process, you can deal with it in time. Mediation.”
“I obey!”
The remaining positions in the exchange group will undoubtedly be given to the people of the human race. The list of fifteen people was quickly determined and then officially set off. , go to the wood elf village.
At the same time, in the Wood Elf village, Chief Locke immediately summoned all the tribesmen in the village as soon as he returned to the village, and announced in public that their Wood Elf tribe had formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, and that they planned to send tribesmen next. , exchange visits.
“There are a total of fifteen places in the exchange group. Those who are willing to go can come forward.”
"I want to go!"
Locke had just finished speaking. On the way back, Sion, who had been basically silent the whole way, took the initiative to stand up.
At this time, his face showed determination. After two consecutive defeats at the hands of Silk, Sion realized that his strength was actually far from enough. Now he has made up his mind. , I want to see the outside world.
After Sion expressed his stance, many wood elves quickly came forward, and in a blink of an eye, the quota had exceeded fifteen, which even Locke felt a little surprised.
But this is actually normal.
After the destruction of the old civilization, the wood elves have indeed lived in this basin forest for generations. At the same time, for the safety of the tribe, they basically do not allow the tribe to step out of this forest.
But the more this happens, the more some people will want to leave here and go out for a visit.
The young people within the ethnic group undoubtedly account for the vast majority.
At this time, fifteen places are not enough.
