Then people who make a living from this will soon lose their source of income and have to accept the fate of being harvested by foreign goods.

At the same time, the interests of the large number of workers gathered in the port of Ormos will also be harmed accordingly.

First, workers working for Xumi's local enterprises will soon lose their jobs, and workers working for Zhidong enterprises will also be affected.

Since I no longer have tariffs, some of the companies that originally existed to circumvent tariffs no longer need to exist, and these employees can be laid off.

As a result, a large number of workers became unemployed. Coupled with the people mentioned above, it can be said that the current Port of Omos is a powder keg filled with gunpowder.

It only takes some time for the impact of this treaty to become apparent, and then the Renaissance Alliance will have a lot to do in Port Omos.

"Since you are so confident in the power of the Fatui, I want to see what you will do in this situation of war everywhere."

Signing her name on the plan beside her, Nashida approved the Renaissance Alliance's action plan in Port Omos.

I believe that next time, I will definitely be able to bring a big surprise to the Teaching House~

After handing the plan to the guard outside the door and passing it to Elhaisen and others, Nashida returned to the room, closed the doors and windows, and at the same time set up a sealed barrier for herself.

After making sure that no one could see what she was doing, Nashida returned to her chair and slowly fell asleep.

The unilateral treaty between the Council of the Fatui and the Fatui has not only attracted the attention of human society, but also the attention of the gods of Teyvat.

After all, the civil war between the gods and their own people is a big deal in itself, and now with the interference of external forces, it can be said that no matter from which angle, this is big news.

At least a certain old man next door seems to be very concerned about this.

Look, he was able to communicate with his junior directly through the power of rock element...

Chapter 72: The old man who cares about his younger generation

The mountains were steep and rugged, covered with vines and clouds. When Nashida opened her eyes again, a picture like a fairyland on earth unfolded before her.

Jumping down the stone steps and looking forward, I saw a handsome black-haired man sitting in front of a stone table surrounded by mist, drinking tea alone, waiting for his guests to arrive.

He was wearing a dark gold robe with dragon pattern, his golden pupils revealed a sense of majesty without anger, and his neat black hair had a gradient color pattern similar to Nashida's, giving people a sense of security overall.

Noticing the man drinking tea, Nashida was familiar with his appearance. Coupled with the familiar feeling of security and the aura of rock elemental power, she must have thought that the man in front of her was the current Liyue God of Rock, "Emperor Rock King".

Without much hesitation, in response to Zhongli's silent invitation, Nashida walked straight to the only stone bench opposite him and sat down.

Picking up the tea that had been poured on the table in advance and taking a sip, Nashida couldn't help but sigh.

"Good tea."

Even though Nashida didn't know how to taste tea, she could understand that this was definitely a rare fragrant tea in the world by feeling the aroma of the tea and the mellow taste in her mouth.

"My dear friend, you are too kind. This is just a young sprout planted by an old friend in the backyard thousands of years ago. Now it has reappeared in the world with the help of the power of this earth vein space."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, the teapot floating beside him automatically filled it up. A look of reminiscence appeared on Zhongli's face, and he briefly introduced to Nashida the origin of the tea.

It can only be said that the ground veins of Teyvat are truly omnipotent. Not only can Zhongli use the power of the rock element to project his consciousness thousands of miles away, but he can also construct such an illusory space to entertain guests.

"However, there are many evil things in the earth veins of Xumi. You have worked really hard to maintain the stability of the root veins of this world over the years."

Nashida nodded slightly in response to Zhongli's praise, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Because in these five hundred years, she has been locked in the cage in Jingshan Palace and has never stepped out of the palace.

As for the purification of the Sumeru earth veins, we should actually be more grateful to the efforts of Lanna Luo and the Great Compassionate Tree King.

"Ahem, the topic has gone a bit off topic. I'm sure you have some guesses about the purpose of my visit this time. So I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Why don't I get straight to the point?"

Of course Nashida had no objection to this. She quickly nodded her little head at Zhongli, behaving very well.

You have to know that the person in front of her is someone who has survived the Demon War to this day. Whether in terms of ability or knowledge, he is not comparable to her, a half-baked God of Wisdom.

What's more, as a junior, she also has a bit of admiration for this old senior who has lived for thousands of years.

Therefore, she naturally had no reason to object to Zhongli's suggestion of "being frank and open-hearted".

"I have heard about many incidents that happened in Xumi before, but these are undoubtedly Xumi's internal affairs. As the god of Liyue, I naturally have no intention of interfering in this."

Seeing that Nashida agreed to his proposal, Zhongli began to explain his purpose of this trip.

"But after I heard about the Xumi-Winter Friendship Treaty, my opinion on this has changed a little."

After the Council of Apostles signed the treaty with the "Doctor", not only ordinary people in Xumi were greatly shocked, but several neighboring countries of Xumi also found it unbelievable.

As Xumi's largest land neighbor, Liyue, after realizing what this meant, expressed concern about Zhidong doing such a cruel thing right next door.

As the King of Rock, Zhongli naturally had to express his opinion on this. So after pacifying the Seven Stars, he immediately started a conversation with Nashida through the resonance of the rock element.

After all, in Zhongli's opinion, the real person in charge of Xumi is undoubtedly Nashida, the goddess of grass, and not the incomprehensible Council of Commanders.

This is not only the order prescribed by the "Seven Earthly Governors", but also a closeness to the child of the old friend.

And now that Xumi's legitimate government, the House of Decrees, has signed such an agreement with Zhidong, he has to consider the attitude of Nashida, the Goddess of Grass, towards this.

"So I would like to hear your opinions and considerations on this matter."

After all, the other party is a god who represents wisdom. Maybe he has some strange ideas?

"This is a long story. Please give me some time to explain it to you in detail..."

Perhaps it was because Zhongli's aura as an elder was too strong, even Nashida's tone of voice was affected, and she couldn't even maintain her usual cheerful style, and became more solemn.

However, this does not mean that Nashida was too nervous to speak clearly. On the contrary, since she did not use those strange metaphors, her explanation efficiency was much higher than usual.

"So, this matter was entirely a decision made by the House of Lords on their own initiative in order to oppose me."

The explanation took a little while. Nashida told Zhongli everything about the fact that she had been imprisoned for five hundred years and her decision to adopt a new approach and guide the people to rise up in revolution.

"This is really unreasonable!"

Even though Zhongli had a good temper, he was still a little angry about what the Ministry of Education had done over the past five hundred years.

In the eyes of him, the God of Contract, those people in the Decree House who imprisoned gods and oppressed the people were extremely evil.

And now this group of people not only want to create a new god to replace Nashida, but they even collude with foreign forces to sell out the country.

It can be said that the current top brass of the Church of God are all insects, and there is absolutely no problem with that.

"But the one of Winter should not know about this. From what I know about her, no matter what her plan is, she will never openly be hostile to another god."

Of course Nashida nodded at Zhongli's point of view. She didn't think that the Ice God was really completely hostile to her, so there must be another hidden story behind this incident.

However, she was not too resistant to this. Although she was a little unhappy about Zhidong interfering in her country's internal affairs, she could put this matter aside for the time being because it could greatly promote the Renaissance Alliance to unite the grassroots people.

But after building the new Xumi, she will definitely go to Zhidong to ask for an explanation.

"In addition, I still have some confusion about many of the things you just said. I wonder if you can explain them to me in detail."

After Zhongli asked the question, Nashida introduced her own ideas to him in detail, and also made corresponding statements about the future new Xumi.

This kind of thinking and theory, which was unprecedented in Teyvat, immediately attracted Zhongli. Thinking about his future retirement plan, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"As expected of a wise god, your understanding of human society is clearly beyond that of us old antiques."

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Zhongli reopened the topic with a word of praise.

"So, Buyer, as the god of wisdom, what do you think of the concept of 'rule by man'?"

This time, Zhongli's tone was much more serious. He even stopped addressing her as "young friend" and instead used the demon name Nashida directly.

It was just because this matter was too important, and it even related to the path he would choose for Liyue in the future, which forced him to take it seriously.

"As for complete rule of man, I don't think it is possible to implement it in the current continent of Teyvat."

What was somewhat beyond Zhongli's expectations was that Nashida, who had previously kept talking about "human subjective initiative" and "the all-round development of man", raised objections to this.

"Oh, how do you say this?"

This made him a little curious, and after refilling Nashida's cup with a new cup of tea, he began to ask.

Chapter 73: God's Rule and Human's Rule

"Because in today's Teyvat, humans are not the masters of the world. Outside of human society, there are many powerful beings that can decide the fate of human society."

On Blue Planet, one of the indispensable conditions for achieving complete “rule of man” is that human beings themselves are the masters of the world.

At least outside of human society, nothing (including natural disasters) can truly cause a devastating blow to human society.

It is precisely because of such an important premise that human society itself has become synonymous with "advanced". Human beings can develop themselves freely, create many things that do not exist in nature, and bloom the brilliant flower of civilization.

But Teyvat is different from Blue Planet. There are not as many monsters and demons on Blue Planet as there are on Teyvat that can completely suppress the entire human society.

Even human beings themselves, due to the existence of God's Eye, are divided into two major groups: ordinary people and extraordinary people.

Therefore, with the current level of development of human productivity in Teyvat, it is impossible to achieve complete "rule by man", that is, "rule by man" with the participation of the vast majority of ordinary people.

It is foreseeable that once humans truly lose the protection of supernatural powers, facing all kinds of chaotic natural and man-made disasters in Teyvat, they will surely be defeated soon.

Even without the suppression of gods, the possessors of God's Eye within humanity alone can directly abolish "rule by man", and eventually the rule from the extraordinary power of gods will be transformed into the rule of extraordinary power within humanity.

Therefore, in Nashida's view, the "rule of man" in Liyue after Zhongli's fake death in the original plot is not real rule of man at all.

On the one hand, the Seven Stars knew that the Emperor was not dead, and on the other hand, the immortals headed by Ganyu were still deeply involved in Liyue’s political situation.

Regarding this situation, do you think Liyue is really ruled by humans?

All I can say is, it’s a cure.

"In today's Teyvat, if humans were to completely control their own destiny without relying on any external forces, it would not work, at least with the current level of human development."

After taking a sip of the tea on the table, Nashida observed Zhongli's reaction to her words.

At this moment, Zhongli was deeply lost in thought and didn't even react to Nashida's gaze. It seemed that he really took her words to heart.

In this case, Nashida struck while the iron was hot and took the opportunity to express her views on rule by man.

"But this does not mean that the divine rule of Teyvat is perfect today."

In other words, as human society develops, the conflict between the will of God and the will of mankind is bound to occur.

The most typical case is today's Inazuma.

Under the wise leadership of General Raiden, Inazuma has now completely become a large-scale sociological experimental site.

Although he could not get +8 in Sociology, General Raiden still vividly demonstrated to the entire continent of Teyvat what consequences would result if the will of God was forcibly violated the general laws of social development.

After the implementation of the isolation order, for the sake of social development and survival in Inazuma, which was already resource-poor, the people of Inazuma adopted various methods to resist the will of General Raiden.

The extreme ones are like Haiqi Island, which directly launched a civil war and used swords in their hands to fight for living space for the people.

The moderate ones, like the Kamisato family, secretly supported the resistance and made the implementation of the isolation order more difficult, both openly and covertly.

The reason for all this is not that the Inazuma people really want to overthrow the rule of General Raiden, but because the military power of the gods is too strong, and even if they want to, they can't do it.

They were forced to take these actions only for their own survival and the development of society.

Otherwise, why didn’t they rebel earlier or later, but only after the order to close the country was issued?

As I said, as long as life is manageable, who would be willing to join a rebellion?

"So, after a lot of field research and a lot of thinking, I think the best form of state governance for Teyvat should be an organic combination of divine rule and human rule."

After giving many examples, Nashida finally confronted Zhongli and expressed her final opinion.

From the beginning to the end, Nashida always believed that seeking truth from facts is the living soul.

If you want to really do what you want in Teyvat, you must combine theory with the actual situation in Teyvat.

Then how to make good use of Teyvat's extraordinary power becomes extremely important.

By using theocracy, Nashida can grasp the general direction of the country and ensure that it will not deteriorate during the development process.

At the same time, it can also suppress extraordinary people, including the owners of the Eye of God, so that they can integrate into the crowd and participate in the construction of the country, instead of using power to seize power for themselves.

By utilizing human rule, we can maximize the subjective initiative of human beings, stimulate the vitality of social development, and thus greatly accelerate social development.

At the same time, it can also promote the all-round development of people and pave the way for the future of the country.

"That's great. It looks like my plan of faking my death also needs some changes and improvements."

After being silent for a while, Zhongli finally expressed his approval of the words of the young god of wisdom in front of him.

Even after this discussion with Nashida, he had some new ideas about Liyue's future path.
