Although Keqing no longer intends to completely free Liyue from the control of the immortals and the Emperor, and to develop a completely human-run society.
However, no matter what, she wanted to prove to the Emperor and the immortals that the people of Liyue could also make Liyue develop very well.
Gods and immortals should be revered and worshipped, and widely praised. It would be good if they were also supervised to prevent the abuse of power.
The direction Liyue takes should be decided by the people of Liyue themselves.
Therefore, Keqing had originally planned to recruit the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli into her team, but after learning that Zhongli was actually the Rock King Emperor, she never went to see him again.
Excuse me, but one reason is that we want the Emperor to rest. Another reason is that if we trouble the Emperor with everything, then Li Yue's so-called rule by man will become a joke.
But Jiang Ning is different. Although he has embarked on the path of immortality and even inherited a divine position, he is still a human being in essence.
With all the novel things and systems of that other world, Keqing had no reason or standing to refuse Jiang Ning's help.
The Liyue Bank is becoming increasingly popular, and the insurance industry is also booming.
Although it's just a prototype, Keqing believes that in the future, everyone in Liyue will be able to enjoy old age care and medical treatment.
Although the Northern Bank is struggling in Liyue and Mondstadt during winter, it's important to know that the Liyue Bank is just the beginning.
Moreover, Ningguang and Keqing believed that the Fatui's goal was the Heart of God, which would inevitably offend the gods of various countries. In that case, the Northern Bank would be backed by the Fatui's executives.
Do you think they can continue to operate in various countries?
This presents an opportunity for Liyue Bank.
Seeing Jiang Ning's headache, Shen He said:
"Should I go and refuse Yuheng Star?"
"No need. Even if I refuse, she'll find another opportunity to bother me... I'll go find her."
Jiang Ning said.
"okay……"
After dinner, after a simple meditation and breathing exercises, Xianyun returned to her workshop to continue her research, as if she had completed a task.
Gan Yu went to bed early because she had to get up early the next day. Moreover, the energy she had accumulated from eating was still stable for the time being, so she wasn't in a hurry to release it all in one night.
As for Yura, she was still very tired because of a certain animal. When she got back to her room, she fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Only Shenhe...
She showed Jiang Ning what it meant for a short separation to make the heart grow fonder.
The noise in Jiang Ning's room didn't stop all night. If it weren't for the soundproof barrier, the other people in the mansion probably wouldn't have been able to sleep.
…………
The next morning, Jiang Ning and Gan Yu took Youla to Qunyu Pavilion.
On the way, he met Ke Qing, who seemed to have been waiting for him. She was overjoyed to see him.
Ignoring Gan Yu and You La's presence, she grabbed Jiang Ning and dragged him away down the street.
Gan Yu sighed repeatedly as she watched, and Yura was also somewhat surprised.
No wonder Sister Leah said I should prepare myself mentally...
It's only been a short time since we returned to Liyue, and besides Gan Yu and Shen He, another Keqing has already made her move.
Gan Yu turned to Youla and said, "Let's go find Miss Ningguang first. We don't need to worry about Jiang Ning."
Yura nodded: "Okay."
Yuhengxing was holding a man's hand in the street, and he looked flushed and excited. This must be big news.
But then I looked at the man again, oh, the next King Yan, the current King Yan's disciple, then it's alright.
Before the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, many people might have felt a bit of jealousy towards this young man favored by the Jade Balance Star.
But after the ritual of inviting the immortals, they didn't dare to do it anymore, right?
On the other hand, the young women of marriageable age on Jade Balance Star gritted their teeth, thinking, "Even though you're Jade Balance Star, you deserve to die..."
He is good-looking, has a great personality, and is said to be the most prominent young man in Liyue.
They were almost all the dream lovers of young women, or even some older women, and only after they were discovered did they find that Yuheng Star had already reaped the rewards... It is said that Tianquan Star was also among them.
Damn it, I just hate that I'm not one of them.
Meanwhile, the elderly and married people of Liyue looked very happy.
Especially Sister Lan and the others.
Although his own stock wasn't the only one performing well, it was at least steadily rising, and everyone was happy to see that the next Rock God had such a close relationship with the Seven Stars.
Arriving at a secluded teahouse, Keqing couldn't wait to ask:
"You've been to Mondstadt these past few days, so you should be staying in Liyue Harbor permanently now, right?"
Her purple eyes were full of anticipation, but Jiang Ning said:
"No, I guess I'll be going to Inazuma with the Liyue delegation next."
Ke Qing was taken aback: "What are you going to Inazuma for?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing. You seem to be making a big fuss about going to Inazuma. What happened?"
Jiang Ning countered with a question.
Keqing said, "Well, on Inazuma's side, the authorities seized our Liyue merchants' goods for some inexplicable reason. Among this group of merchants, there are those from our merchant guild, those under Ningguang's command, and the other Seven Stars, who have some partners to varying degrees."
"And then, aren't we going to launch a strong protest?"
"I reckon that when the time comes, one of the Seven Stars will have to go to Inazuma to demand an explanation."
Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Is Inazuma really that brave? I remember that Inazuma is currently suffering because of the lockdown policy, right? The people there are almost starving to death. How dare they do that?"
Keqing was also completely baffled: "Yes, as a major exporter of grain to Inazuma, Liyue can be said to be able to survive until now entirely because the magistrate has tried his best to maintain our direct grain trade route... If we really offended Liyue to death and cut off their grain supply, I estimate that the people of Inazuma would be gone in at most three years."
"However, Ningguang, if she were to send a diplomatic mission, would also like to open a branch of Liyue Bank there."
Jiang Ning said, "I see... Anyway, I'll go with you guys. By the way, what did you want to see me about?"
Keqing patted her forehead: "I almost forgot, I was also thinking that if you were to stay in Liyue permanently, there are some things that could be implemented, since we would need you to give them a final check."
Jiang Ning said, "Well, if it's about financial knowledge and industry-related knowledge from another world, I've given all those books and materials to Sister Ningguang. You can take a look when you have time. As for technical skills, you can go find your master."
Ke Qing frowned slightly: "Isn't it inappropriate to go to the Emperor about such a trivial matter?"
Jiang Ning said, "Don't I have another master? Xianyun, the True Lord of Liuyun and Borrowing the Wind. For technical matters, you can go directly to her."
“But, if we go to find an immortal…” Ke Qing was still somewhat reluctant.
Jiang Ning tapped Keqing's head: "Have you forgotten what I said? Sages are still people, they are all citizens of Liyue. Why make such a distinction? There are experts with this kind of professional knowledge, but instead of asking and learning from them, you reject them and think about exploring on your own. Isn't that a waste of the solid foundation laid for us by our ancestors?"
Ke Qing was tapped on the head and instinctively covered the spot where she was hit. Looking at Jiang Ning's sudden realization, she was somewhat dazed and cute.
The passersby nearby also looked like they had bumped into something.
As expected, only Lord Jiang Ning could make Lady Keqing show such an expression.
Keqing said, "Okay... but what should we do?"
Jiang Ning said, "You can find a master and have her open a school or something to teach some mechanical arts or other professional knowledge about equipment, and train some craftsmen for Liyue."
"Also, as for Master Zhongli, he could also serve as a teacher at the academy, giving lectures from time to time. Even though he's retired, he should still contribute his remaining energy, right?"
"If he really doesn't want to lecture, then let him talk about the secrets of ancient times from time to time. It would be best if he talked about the stories of the heroes who built Liyue. In our foreign lands, forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal."
Jiang Ning sold off his old man and the still-attractive woman without any hesitation.
Ke Qing's eyes lit up as she listened: "Yes, yes, that's what I think too!"
"I've given you the direction; you can negotiate the specifics yourselves," Jiang Ning said.
Ke Qing nodded: "Okay, no problem. I'll try to persuade the Emperor. As for Miss Xianyun, I'll leave it to you."
Jiang Ning said, "Yes, don't worry."
After finishing their business, Ke Qing said, "Well, if you have time, would you like to come over to my house? I'd like to invite you to dinner. I feel a little embarrassed about all the help you've given me before."
"Oh, even Yuheng Star is so polite... Alright, I'll definitely pay you a visit after my trip to Inazuma."
Jiang Ning made a promise to do it next time.
Keqing seemed lost in thought, wondering about Inazuma's trip...
She nodded: "Yes, I understand."
After bidding farewell to Keqing, Jiang Ning arrived at Qunyu Pavilion. Along the way, the people of Liyue were very welcoming to him.
Although there was more respect involved, it was still much better than directly confronting Zhongli, or even kneeling down in the street.
All I can say is that I started out as an ordinary person, and now I'm even wearing the identity of the successor of the Rock King Emperor.
Over the past few years in Liyue, I've been seen by everyone as someone who just arrived in Liyue, and I've reached this point now, which makes me relatively more acceptable to others.
Moreover, and most importantly, it's because his innocent, youthful appearance is too deceptive.
At Qunyu Pavilion, just as Jiang Ning arrived, Youla and the others had finished their business.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning's arrival, Ning Guang smiled sincerely. She even stood up, walked over to Jiang Ning, and personally helped him straighten his collar.
"You're back? Why didn't you come to see your sister right away?"
Ningguang asked softly.
Jiang Ning said, "I ran into Ke Qing on the way, and she pulled me aside and we talked for a bit."
Ningguang's eyes flickered. "That purple-haired cat-headed guy from Yuheng Star... just a workaholic, not worth mentioning."
"I've heard about Yura's situation. Since Miss Yura was originally a knight in the guerrilla squad, I'll let her go back to her old job. Although the squad name has changed, there's no difference in essence."
Yura said, "I think a knight should start as a regular soldier..."
Ningguang said domineeringly, "Not to mention that you are a Primal God with the Eye of God, you were also brought back and recommended by Jiang Ning, so you cannot be arranged according to common sense."
Gan Yu also said, "No one will have any objections."
Yura said, "Okay..."
Jiang Ning asked, "Sister Ningguang, Daoqi, when are we going?"
Master Xianyun and Master Zhongli know that the mortal lock of Guizhong has not moved yet, and it seems that they are urging it on intentionally or unintentionally.
