Chapter 897: Across the line of time (1/2)
Since the middle of the summer, everything has been on the right track, and this huge country has gradually developed in accordance with the trajectory set by Gao Wen for it.
In the study room with velvet carpet, the cool cold wind is blowing slowly from the air outlet in the corner of the room. The sunlight before noon is very bright, which makes the quaint book shelves and decorative weapon racks in the study room look brighter than in the past. Many, Gavin sat in the chair where he usually sat and listened to the report, while Hetty stood opposite his desk.
The desk is new and the style is the same as before.
"This is a report on diplomatic and economic activity from the west," Hetty briefly reported the content while putting the collated documents in front of Gao Wen. "Overall, contact with the remaining tribes of Ogure All went well-including the spirit clan who had been unclear before. So far, the gray elves and human tribes that first contacted us have established stable business exchanges with the empire, and agreed to introduce magic nets and railway systems within their sphere of influence. The remaining races agreed to establish commercial channels. As for the magic net and the railway ... they will wait until they see the "effects" in the gray elves and human territories. "
Gao Wen nodded in satisfaction: "The tribe of Ogure is a loose alliance, and they are used to it, and dealing with them can only be done step by step. At least the five kings of the jury have shown a friendly willingness. It ’s the biggest development. Is there news from the dwarf kingdom on the west coast of the mainland? "
"The dwarves are very interested in our machines, and there are gray elves to help us bridge the bridge. Negotiations have been smooth, but the land transportation between us and the dwarves is inconvenient, not only to pass through the entire Ogure tribe, There are also large areas of forests and mountains, so the official launch of trade must at least wait until Beigang is put into use-taking the west coastal route. Prior to this, the dwarves should not purchase our heavy machinery on a large scale due to cost considerations. "
"It shouldn't be too long ... The progress of Beigang is very smooth, and the previously discussed Kraken technical team should reach the North Coast in two days, which can speed up the construction of the ship there," Gao Wen casually Said, "Is there anything else to report?"
"There is one more thing," Hetty nodded. "Ms. Wenna Baizhi, the head of the gray elf's tribe, hopes to further expand the export quota of alchemical raw materials. She seems to plan to create a new economic 'signboard' for the moss forest. The alchemy raw materials held by the elves have become an important economic pillar of the tribe of Ogure. "
"Grey Elf ... I remember that the daughter of Patriarch Wenna is now studying at Imperial College?"
Hetillo recalled and nodded: "Yes, Meli Baizhi-this year's freshman, enrolled in the Magic Department through standard international student procedures, minoring in alchemy and social management."
"Three-series full repair?" Gao Wen couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. "It's a diligent child ... wait, the gray elves of the magic department are freshman? It is impossible that Kamel jumped out of the window when he last lectured. Just ... "
"It's her," Herty seemed to tremble, "Imperial College has begun to strengthen classroom management and the safety guarantee around the teaching facilities ..."
"... The gray elf was the first foreign country to establish a good relationship with the empire, and it was also the force that always maintained good relations with the Moen Dynasty in the Ansu era," after two seconds of silence, Gao Wen bluntly brought the topic back on track. "They are a race that is very good at doing business, with footprints all over the western continent, and the gray elf traders are even called the" continent of the western continent. "We need to deal with such a race-and they are interested in new things, It also helps us to promote new machines and industrial products to the western part of the mainland. We can promise Ms. Wenna's request-but the specific amount needs to be jointly agreed by the economic and industrial sectors. "
"I see," Herty nodded. "After going back, I will organize an internal meeting and reply to the Gray Elves as soon as possible."
Gao Wen made a sound, just wanted to ask something more, but a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study door.
After getting Gao Wen's response, the door of the study was opened, and an old man with a gentle and calm look and deep eyes came in-Godwin Orlando, who was in charge of the cultural department.
Gao Wen glanced at the old scholar who had devoted himself to Cecil in the earliest years and made great contributions in this country. After noticing the dress of the other party, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: Orlando today is wearing a brand new Black dress and black trousers, a golden bracelet hangs down the pocket on the chest, gray hair is meticulously combed, and wears a pair of book-like gold-framed glasses, which is usually the same as this old scholar. The clothes you are used to are very different.
"Your Majesty," Godwin greeted Gao Wen first, and then saw that Hetty was there, and then nodded and greeted, "Heidi's Archon, Good Day."
"Are you starting to wear new formal clothes too?" Gao Wen asked casually.
"Ah ... yes, it's a try," Godwin was about to report the situation, he couldn't help but stunned when he heard Gao Wen's words, and then looked down at his clothes, a slightly restrained smile on his face, " After all, most young people are now in the government office, and even the elderly are gradually changing their costumes. The old scholar robes are only worn out in ceremonial occasions ... Even last week, Peterman ordered a formal dress, I Try it out too. "
Then the old scholar asked again, "Isn't it strange that I look like this?"
"It's perfect for you," Gao Wen said with a smile. "It seems a lot more energetic-and it's not a bad thing to follow the trend."
"That's good-I don't twist all the way when I wear it out today," the old gentleman moved his neck to the left and right. "Actually, it is very comfortable, but I always have a feeling of being imprisoned by the fabric ... Fortunately, I am adapting now Now. "
As he said, he came to Gao Wen ’s desk and took out a report from his file book and handed it over: "Your Majesty, the" literature preservation "project has made some progress recently, and I have compiled it into a report. . "
The "literature preservation" in his mouth is a large-scale investigation and protection of all kinds of classics, legends, knowledge, history and other file materials launched by Gao Wen in the country. It is an "national cultural relics book and intellectual heritage emergency preservation project." Short for "Godwin Orlando is one of the main leaders of this project.
Gao Wen took over the report and began to glance at the above content, while Godwin added some details:
