Chapter 709: After all the hardships, there is happiness

Zhulu Country, Huanshan City.

Inside a bamboo hut that looks ordinary.

Under the lights, three famous figures gathered at a table.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yazdan, for being officially promoted to an apostle." Apostle Takeo's smile was full of enthusiasm. The training over the years has turned him from being easily flammable and explosive to someone who always smiles.

"Congratulations."

Another apostle, Buluo, also showed a hint of a smile on his pale and cold face, but now he smiles less and less.

"I have to thank the great Lord Yao for his gift to me for being promoted to an apostle. Lord Yao allowed me to regain my freedom, brought me from Dog City, and granted me the status of a citizen of the Yao clan. Without this beginning, nothing would be possible later." The facial muscles of the yellow-clothed magician still showed a sense of disharmony. He raised the wooden wine glass in his hand and looked at the ceiling.

"Then I want to thank Lord Billionaire for his appreciation, tolerance and recognition. This is why I can do what I am good at in the Sand City Gazette. Being able to become an apostle is also due to Lord Billionaire's favor and grace."

"Finally, I would like to thank you both for your help and support over the years."

Yazdan said solemnly, "Without your tolerance and detailed information, our Sand City Gazette's reports on Zhulu Country and the Ghost Realm would never have been published so smoothly."

"It also includes some sensitive areas for the two countries. For example, the problem of unsalable output from plantations in Zhulu Country. To be honest, I was extremely surprised when I saw the first draft submitted by the collector. I didn't expect Mr. Zhunan to not only acknowledge it, but also fill in a lot of relevant data."

"Everyone knows about these problems. They won't go away if you hide them," Zhu Nan said easily.

"It is sometimes not a bad thing to expose one's own shortcomings. It can let the rest of the world see that my country has delicious bamboo shoots, fresh and tender bamboo shoots. Recently, in addition to the special bamboo rat, our exports, bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots are also selling well, with sales four times that of last year."

Only Zhunan himself knew that he had paid too much to sell these agricultural products.

…

Zhulu Kingdom is a country where people live on mountains and land. In addition to the existing bamboo, the locals also grow imported tea, medicinal herbs and roses.

But in reality, these introduced crops had little effect.

The tea and medicinal herbs here are not as good as those on Zhou Island, and the roses cannot compare with those in the Valley of the Gods. They are OK for local use, but it is very difficult to export to other worlds.

Zhu Nan traveled to every Yao city to sell his wares, and was frustrated almost every day.

This made him deeply realize a truth: knowing a little bit of everything means knowing nothing.

After a disastrous failure, he decided to transform.

We must concentrate all human and material resources on our strongest points.

Zhulu Country's advantage is its bamboo forests. Local bamboo is exported all year round, but due to its low price, the profits are not high. However, because bamboo is easy to use and cheap, Zhulu Country has been able to maintain this stable export commodity.

In addition, bamboo rat is also a signature of Zhulu Kingdom.

When Zhu Nan first went to Shacheng for exchanges and recruitment, he found that the people of Shacheng were very curious about bamboo rats, and everyone quickly remembered this delicacy.

So Zhu Nan stepped up his efforts and vigorously promoted bamboo rats in Shacheng. Through various methods such as pickling, roasting, and stewing, the people of Shacheng quickly fell in love with this unique delicacy. Then bamboo rats began to spread to other worlds.

Encouraged by this success, Zhunan began to screen the next bamboo rat.

After a lot of trial and error, he noticed that the Yao people liked to eat young bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus. Soon, these two foods became important export commodities of Zhulu Kingdom.

The process is full of unknown hardships.

Zhu Nan always went door to door with the recommended food to demonstrate and promote it. Especially in the Yao tribe headquarters, he visited local apostles, prophets, heroes and famous restaurants in each city to gain their support.

During this process, he was often rejected, given the cold shoulder and given the cold shoulder.

The strongest bamboo warrior who used to be unruly and violent has gradually turned into a promotion ambassador who always has a smile on his face.

There's no use getting angry.

Making Zhulu country rich is the most important thing! Fortunately, the unconditional support and understanding of Zhulu King also allowed Zhunan to maintain his original aspiration for many years.

He never thought that the longest and most difficult war did not take place on the battlefield, but on the dining table and the market.

The final result is still good.

The Bamboo Reed Country has firmly established itself as a leader in bamboo food, and is currently continuing to develop new agricultural products. The profits generated by commodity exports are also increasing year by year, and the lives of the reed and bamboo people are continuously improving as a result.

…

Yazdan looked at the funeral tribe apostle on the other side and said, "And Mr. Buluo. Last year's public report and the announcement of the Forest Academy's admission of students from the Ghost Realm put you under great pressure and also attracted a reprimand from the Ghost God."

Buluo just said expressionlessly: "We in the Phantom World have been developing education and trying to catch up with Sand City. There is nothing wrong with this path. However, we must take the actual situation into consideration during this process. The actual situation is that we started too late and have few resources. Whether it is time, resources, manpower or energy, we do not have the capacity to develop in all directions."

“So the previous education development plan was too idealistic and miscalculated the difficulties.”

“Education is not about treating people to a meal, chatting and drinking, or being polite and refined. It is a competition of words and ideas, a struggle for the right to speak and the right to lead in the field of knowledge.”

The apostle of the ghost world said slowly: "This is not something that can be done by just chatting and laughing in peace."

"It's normal to be reprimanded. I was the one who made the initial plan for the education plan for the ghost world. I misjudged the situation and direction, which caused the huge amount of resources and efforts invested by the ghost god to go to waste. It also caused many funeral tribes, ghosts, and even ghouls to lose hundreds of years of opportunities."

"Public reporting is to correct previous wrong ideas and plans."

Buluo said: "As for the admission situation of [Forest College], this has actually been discussed for a long time. The college does not want to disclose it because the truth is too cruel. Every year, more than 40% of the students admitted are from Sand City. In addition, there are talents from other worlds who come to apply. After all, this is one of the four major colleges. The number of people from the Ghost Realm who can be admitted to Forest College every year is usually only one, and they will be at the bottom of the list. This is our true level."

The current education in the ghost world has adjusted its direction.

Everything is based on getting into a college!

"Sand City Forest College" is actually a very high goal.

More people in the ghost world are aiming for the second tier with good strength, such as the "Bone Engineering College" in the Resurrection Kingdom, the "Engineering College" in Yancheng, or the "Eastern Rose College" in the Valley of Gods. These are all very strong schools with a relatively higher chance of being admitted.

A number of preparatory schools were established in the ghost world, and these schools even formed a new city after being concentrated.

The preparatory schools invited many Yao scholars and teachers to teach students so that they could pass the entrance examinations of various universities and train them day after day. These schools were also self-deprecatingly called "knowledge cemeteries" by the locals, and once you enter them, you will be buried in the soil of knowledge and die again.

Time has smoothed out criticism and doubt.

After going through a difficult transition period, people in the Phantom World are now actively participating in exams in order to seek better education to change their destiny, and preparatory schools have become the most famous industry in the Phantom World.

The Phantom Preparatory School has become a well-known brand all over the world.

Nowadays, more than half of the local students are from other places. The concentration and continuous development of a large number of preparatory schools have not only improved the education level and educational awareness of the ghost world, but also brought in a steady stream of income.

Just to do all this well, Blow doesn't smile much anymore.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Recruiting students, recruiting teachers, keeping an eye on grades, avoiding poaching, safety issues, connecting local and out-of-town schools...dealing with all these issues makes him anxious every day.

Only when he saw the local undertakers and ghosts coming back and happily reporting their achievements and work to their relatives and friends could Blo find some comfort.

In the past, local ghosts would just hide in graves, sleep, gossip, and raise slugs.

Now the gap between these guys and the Yao clan ghosts is very small.

In order to take this step forward, Blo has not rested for a single day in the past few hundred years.

Because he knew that if he didn't hold on tight, the distance between the Ghost Realm and the Yao Clan would get farther and farther, until he could no longer see their backs.

Fortunately, I didn't lose him.

Although it is very hard.

What outsiders don’t know is that as gods, ghosts and gods also face tremendous pressure.

To support Buluo, He invested more than half of the resources of the Kingdom of God in the field of education. The Ghost God rarely asked about specific matters, but he was always paying attention, just because he didn't want to bring more pressure to the apostle, Buluo knew.

It is not easy for gods to survive next to a behemoth like the Yao clan.

…

Yazdan's eyes swept across the faces of the two apostles.

"I was invited to join you two in celebrating my success today, and I also have some good news to tell you two."

"The official evaluation has been made. Lord Billionaire will allow the construction and development of the Elemental Magic Well in the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Country, and will also allow the local production of the Crystal Magic Bottle."

Takeo and Buluo stood up suddenly.

"Very good!!"

The two apostles were very excited.

[Elemental Magic Well] is the latest energy system project of the Yao clan. It can accumulate void turbulence and continuously store large amounts of energy from the void, which can then be salvaged, sealed and used in magic bottles.

The cost is much lower than that of the omnipotent stone. As long as the mine construction, supporting water tower and box garden layout are completed, only maintenance is needed in the future to obtain extremely cheap energy! The first to use the magic well was the [Flying Boat Ring Road]. It was used there twenty years ago. The expansion scale of the ring road in the last ten years has exceeded that of the past hundred years. Crystal lights are lit everywhere in the ring road, shining like bright gems all the time.

Yazdan smiled and said, "We still have a long way to go in the future. We have seen your efforts and believe that you will have good luck."

"Then I will take my leave and return to Sand City to report."

Zhu Nan and the other man immediately understood that Yazdan's main purpose was to inform them of this matter.

After the yellow-robed magician left, the two apostles relaxed a lot.

"Finally, we got some good news."

"In the future, energy consumption in all aspects can be reduced by at least 50%."

Just as they were pleased with the good news, their faces suddenly changed at the same time, followed by ecstasy.

"Did you receive the oracle as well?"

"The same to you?"

Zhu Nan laughed loudly: "Lord Zhulu has received the official invitation from Lord Yaoshen and his name has been listed in the temple. From now on, he will be one of Lord Yaoshen's subordinate gods!"

Buluo also had a proud look on his face: "Lord Ghost God is also listed as a subordinate god of Lord Yao God."

The two apostles smiled at each other.

This time the smile was more comfortable and relaxed than any other in the past few hundred years.

Because they know.

After a long test, the God Yao finally recognized these two civilizations that had been desperately pursuing the Yao clan.
