Further Cooperation
Kong Daqian merely put forward his own thoughts. Naturally, he had no objections to His Majesty's decision to merge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into the Propaganda Department.
For Zhou Xu, this was also a convenient arrangement. It meant that, for the time being, the Propaganda Department would handle the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' work as well.
If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' workload grew too heavy in the future, he would consider establishing it as a separate department again. For now, however, there was clearly no need.
By my calculations, things on the Wood Elves' side should be about ready.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu's gaze fell on Kong Daqian.
"From here on, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' first task is to reach an agreement with the Wood Elves!"
As he spoke, Zhou Xu explained the key points of the matter to Kong Daqian.
Kong Daqian was a clever man as well, and he quickly understood their Majesty's intentions.
As it happened, the Propaganda Department's work had also temporarily come to an end. He could take advantage of this time to make a trip to the Wood Elves and negotiate the cooperation.
After accepting the task, Kong Daqian soon took his leave and prepared to set out to discuss the matter with the Wood Elves.
Meanwhile, on the Wood Elves' side...
The Wood Elves who had participated in the exchange delegation now looked every inch like city folk.
They were dressed neatly from head to toe, standing out starkly from the villagers who still went barefoot, wore old clothes, and maintained their primitive way of life.
It wasn't that they hadn't tried taking off their shoes and returning to their old ways. But as it turned out, they couldn't go back.
Never mind
