Chapter 811: The Best

This winter is the first winter after the New World was incorporated into the Great Zhou.

Exhaling a breath of hot air, the workers who had just finished work gathered in groups of three or five and ran towards the canteen. As they ran, they discussed what dishes would be available in the canteen that night. This seemed to have become their greatest pleasure along the way.

After entering the cafeteria, they could clearly feel that it was much warmer. Not daring to dawdle, the group quickly took their plates from the side and ran to line up for their meals.

During this time, the aroma of food continued to stimulate the workers' hungry stomachs, making them groan, but in the slightly noisy cafeteria, there was an inexplicable tranquility that made people feel completely at ease.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a worker who was queuing couldn't help but look dazed.

"What's wrong? Not enough food money at the end of the month?"

The worker next to him noticed that something was wrong with him and asked casually.

Faced with the concern of his co-workers, the worker quickly came back to his senses and said something with some emotion.

"No, that's not the case. I just didn't expect that I could live a life like this. Even now, it still feels a little unreal to me. What do you think? Could this be a dream?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the workers around him felt the same way.

Looking back at the days of hunger and cold in the winter of previous years, who could have imagined that they would have the life they have now? Now, even in the cold winter, they don’t have to worry about food at all, and they also have warm winter clothes.

Isn't this day like a dream? "It's all thanks to Your Majesty."

His words came from the heart, and the people around him echoed him, with expressions of reverence that could not be concealed on their faces.

Since taking over the New World, Zhou Xu's image in the minds of the common people has been continuously strengthened and elevated through his own achievements, coupled with appropriate publicity from storytellers and the Propaganda Department.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the minds of the common people here, his existence is like a savior, and it is impossible for anyone to shake him easily.

Meanwhile, his influence is spreading in another unexpected place...

"At that time, I saw His Majesty in military uniform, riding his horse with three hundred cavalrymen! The sound of the iron hooves was so loud that the ground was shaking! Along with that slogan..."

"The determination to break through the enemy's line of defense is to die rather than live!!"

In a tree house in the wood elf village, a group of wood elves were sitting around a fireplace, listening to a tribe member sitting in the middle telling with great excitement the heroic deeds of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who led the Iron Cavalry to defeat the enemy.

When he went to Da Zhou as part of an exchange group, one of his hobbies was listening to books.

As members of the Propaganda Department, the storytellers naturally spared no effort in promoting their Majesty. They simply wrote a whole set of stories similar to biographies, and made appropriate artistic processing, and promoted them in various restaurants.

The main purpose is to enhance the image of their Majesty in the eyes of the people, thereby increasing loyalty and winning the hearts of the people.

It is hard to say how the propaganda is going among the people.

However, the publicity effect here among the wood elves is undoubtedly very good.

I just heard the wood elf talking about Zhou Xu's character, as if he knew everything about him by heart, and now he even spoke with rich emotion and it was fascinating.

If Zhou Xu knew about this, he would have to be appointed as the director of the Wood Elf branch of the Propaganda Department to make it justifiable.

During this time, Locke, who was sitting next to him, holding a handful of melon seeds, also had mixed feelings.

First of all, he had to admit that the story was indeed exciting. Even he couldn't help but want to know the sequel. He maintained the posture of listening to the book and didn't move his butt for a long time.

But when he thought about the fact that this brat knew nothing about his own family's affairs, but knew everything about the deeds of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Locke became a little angry.

However, this incident did serve as a reminder to him. While the brat was taking a break from telling stories, Locke coughed twice and walked forward.

"Since everyone is here, I will take this opportunity to tell you the history of our wood elves..."

"Hey, the anthracite in the stove is almost burned out. Who's turn is it? Hurry up and carry a bag over."

Before Locke could finish his words, one of the wood elves who was watching shouted while fiddling with the anthracite in the stove.

"I'll go when it's my turn."

At the same time, the other wood elves also stood up, each doing their own things.

"I've finished cracking the melon seeds. I'll go get a bag of them."

"Take some dried fruit, too."

"It's finally halftime. I'm going to go get some water."

"Wait for me, I'll come too."

"No, I have to go to the closet and find another wool blanket. I really can't stand the cold."

“…”

Looking at the tribesmen who were disbanding in an instant, the veins on Locke's forehead slowly bulged, and he subconsciously grasped his staff.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Faced with Locke's sudden anger, the wood elves froze in their tracks, then turned their heads to look over there with a confused look in their eyes, as if they had no idea what was going on.

"When we were listening to the book just now, you were all so enthusiastic. What's wrong? You don't care at all when it comes to your own affairs?!"

Just when Locke was about to give these brats a good scolding.

One of the wood elves raised his hand weakly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Locke frowned when he saw it.

"What's up?"

"Hey, Chief, the stove is about to go out. Are you really not going to get some coal?"

Hearing this, Locke's eyes swept across the fireplace.

The weather is quite cold right now, and after getting used to the heating from the stove, his old bones really can't stand it if it goes out.

In the end, there was really nothing I could do but wave my hand with an unhappy look on my face.

“Go quickly!”

"Okay!"

As he spoke, the wood elf disappeared in a flash.

Taking this opportunity, the voices of the wood elves who wanted to leave but failed to do so were raised again...

"Chief, I really can't hold it anymore. I'm going to die!"

"If I can't find a wool blanket, I'm going to freeze to death."

"I feel miserable without melon seeds."

"And dried fruits..."

“…”

These brats all died in their own ways, and Locke was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Hearing this, the wood elves dispersed instantly as if they had been pardoned.

Faced with this situation, after calming down a little, Locke couldn't help but sigh with melancholy on his face.

Then he quickly wrapped himself in the wool blanket and took small steps to the heater to warm his hands.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. Why didn't I feel this way before? If it gets this cold, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death!"

Update is here, thanks to book friend '你信不知所虑' for the reward!
