"Haha, I don't mind you finding a few wild cats outside, but the prerequisite is that these wild cats must listen to me." The lady narrowed her eyes and looked at Rosalia.
Unlike the people of Mond today, although polygamy was banned in Mond five hundred years ago, it was still normal for nobles to secretly keep several lovers outside. Therefore, ladies of noble birth could accept Kujo Tsumugi's behavior. However, the lady's meaning was also very clear. She didn't mind Kujo Tsumugi finding several women outside - but the prerequisite was that she must be the "main wife".
"Wait, wait, can we deal with this guy first before considering personal matters?" Kujo Tsumugi noticed that the atmosphere between the two was becoming tense again, and interrupted.
"Tsk, boring, I can't be bothered to get into any more trouble."
The lady looked at Rosalia once more and then left.
The Fatui are now hated by everyone in Mondstadt. If they get involved in any trouble again, the people of Mondstadt may riot and demand that the Fatui be driven out of Mondstadt. The lady does not want to take such a risk.
"Rosalia, let's get her to the hotel where I'm staying."
"Ah."
The two took advantage of the night to bring Ye Lan to the hotel rented by Kujo Tsumugi. However, as it was late at night, Kujo Tsumugi did not interrogate Ye Lan. Instead, he woke up Thomas who was already asleep and asked him to watch over Ye Lan. Kujo Tsumugi began a late-night talk with Rosalia.
Tsumugi Kujo also learned what happened after she was captured by the Fatui in the simulation.
After being captured by the doctor's men, Rosalia and Boa searched frantically in Mondstadt, but found nothing in the end. Afterwards, the two frustrated people had a big quarrel. Boa left Mondstadt and disappeared, while Rosalia continued to stay in Mondstadt waiting for Tsumugi Kujo to come back one day.
And Kujo Tsumugi also explained his situation to Rosaria, of course, the information was half true and half false.
Kujo Tsumugi and Rosaria said that they were abducted to Inazuma Country again, where they learned that they were not humans but Tengu, and they also found their biological sister Kujo Sara, and then formed a hunter corps, etc., until now they have returned to Mond.
Rosaria was shocked after hearing about Kujo Tsumugi's experience.
Afterwards, the two began to explain the matter about the North Country Bank robbery, and Kujo Tsumugi also learned why Rosaria fought with Yoran.
"This is such a coincidence..." said Kujo Tsumugi, shaking her head.
If Tsumugi Kujo hadn't used the lightning element to shield herself when she flew to the Goethe Hotel, Rosaria would have definitely recognized her identity and wouldn't have followed her to the Goethe Hotel and met Ye Lan, who also wore a dark green bracelet...
When the two of them finished exchanging information, it was already past four in the morning. The sun would soon rise over the mountain. Kujo Tsumugi was still holding on after sleeping all day, but Rosalia had already started yawning. Kujo Tsumugi noticed that Rosalia was sleepy and advised her to rest.
Unexpectedly, Rosalia shook her head.
"What if I wake up and open my eyes and find you're gone?"
Hearing Rosaria's words, Kujo Tsumugi was slightly stunned, then smiled.
"Idiot, no, this time, I won't leave again."
……
PS: After dealing with Ye Lan, it is almost time to carry out the fourth simulation
Chapter 78 Qin's Decision
Although the appearance of Ye Lan was a surprise to Kujo Tsumugi, it was a good thing for her to get rid of a guy who was secretly monitoring her.
The next morning, Rosalia had not gotten up yet because she had slept too late, so Tsumugi Kujo came to the room where Ye Lan was imprisoned alone.
"Ms. Ye Lan, how much Mora do you think you are worth?" Ye Lan was stunned by Kujo Tsumugi's first question.
Originally, Ye Lan thought that Kujo Tsumugi would ask her why she was following her, and she was even prepared to torture Kujo Tsumugi to extract a confession, but she didn't expect that Kujo Tsumugi would not play by the rules at all.
"You ask me this question? Aren't you curious about who asked me to come here to monitor you?" Ye Lan did not answer, but asked instead.
"If I ask, will you tell me?" Kujo Tsumugi combed her long hair and said to herself, "I know you, Ye Lan, a spy under Ningguang, specializing in carrying out some dangerous missions... As for why you came to monitor me, it must be Ningguang's order. After all, she is the only one who can order you around."
"I'm not interested in any of these things. I just want to know how much benefit you can bring to me."
Tsumugi Kujo took out a piece of letter paper and wrote and drew on the table. A few minutes later, she showed Ye Lan the blackmail letter, no, the "Notice of Punishment for Miss Ye Lan who broke into Mondstadt and attempted to assassinate the envoy of the Inazuma Group, causing a dispute between the two countries."
"I think that a beauty like Miss Ye Lan is definitely worth 100 million Mora, so this matter will be easy to handle."
"As long as Ningguang is willing to pay 1 billion Mora to redeem you, then I will let you go. How about that?"
"Really? But you openly captured a Liyue public official. Aren't you afraid of causing a dispute between the two countries?" Ye Lan sneered.
"It doesn't matter. Your name isn't on the list of public officials in Yuejingtai anyway. Unless Ningguang wants to make her secret intelligence unit public, no one can save you."
Kujo Tsumugi's words made Ye Lan's face suddenly darken.
This guy... not only knows the existence of Shadow, but even knows details like the list of public officials in Yuejingtai.
"Well, that's it. I'm going to go find Captain Qin to send a letter first. Bye."
Kujo Tsumugi left the room where Ye Lan was imprisoned and instructed Thomas to guard Ye Lan and ensure that there were two hunters guarding Ye Lan at all times. Then he came to the Knights' headquarters.
When Tsumugi Kujo saw Qin again, he found that she looked much more haggard than yesterday, and it seemed that she had not yet figured out a way to fill those gaps.
"Captain Qin, can I borrow your carrier pigeon to communicate with Ningguang?" Kujo Tsumugi waved his hand as a greeting.
"Of course you can...but what do you want to do by communicating with Ningguang?" Jyn said with some caution. She was really afraid of Kujo Tsumugi. She had only been in Mondstadt for less than a month and she had already caused such a big hole. Compared with what Kujo Tsumugi had done, Jyn felt that the damage brought to Mondstadt by the Wind Dragon Tevarin was not worth mentioning.
"I caught a Liyue spy last night. I want to use that guy to blackmail Ningguang. It's not a big deal."
"Isn't this a big deal?!"
Qin shouted out in a somewhat inappropriate manner. Indeed, if this matter was not handled properly, not to mention the relationship between Inazuma and Liyue, even the relationship between Mondstadt and Liyue would be affected.
"Miss Kujo...can't you just be more quiet?"
Qin sat behind her desk and rubbed her head with a headache.
"Be content? Do you want me to become like you, compromising with other countries just to maintain superficial stability?"
"Mond's economy has been continuously drained of blood by the Fatui for a long time. I used tricks to help you get rid of the vampires, but you still blamed me for being too harsh. Do good people deserve to be pointed at with guns?"
"It's fine that Liyue's spies can enter and leave Mondstadt freely, but did you know that she and Sister Rosaria of the Church of Favonius had a fight in the city last night? She was bullied even at home. Can you swallow this?"
"What would you do if you, Captain Qin, captured a spy from Liyue? You would definitely write a letter to Tianquan Ningguang to explain the situation, and then try to make a big deal out of a small matter."
"..."
Qin remained silent. If it were her, she would certainly try to make a big deal out of a small matter in order to maintain the relationship between Mondstadt and Liyue.
"Of course, I have no intention of refuting you, Captain Jean, because Mondstadt is indeed very weak. Facing a prosperous and powerful country like Liyue, they certainly would not dare to conflict with it."
"After all, weakness is the original sin."
To be fair, if Kujo Tsumugi got the position of Captain Koto, she probably wouldn't have done a very good job. The military strength of the Knights of Favonius is only average among the seven nations, only slightly better than Sumire which has no army of its own. They also have to deal with the indifferent Barbatos, and the elite knights are taken away on an expedition by the Grand Commander. It's no wonder that Mond can't stand up straight in front of other countries.
Inazuma's military strength is also not as good as Liyue's, but relying on Inazuma's unique geographical location and the protection of the Thunder God, these two magic weapons are enough for Inazuma to resist the attack of any country.
Once the thunderstorm barrier is opened, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they cannot get in. Even if a small group of troops finds the weak point of the thunderstorm barrier, Inazuma, as an island country, is the country that attaches the most importance to naval strength among the seven countries. Therefore, when the numbers are similar, Inazuma is not afraid of any country's fleet at all.
This is also the reason why Kujo Tsumugi dares to be so tough. What if he accidentally offends Mondliyue or the Fatui and causes a war? Just let Run go home. Can they still reach Narukami Island?
After listening to what Kujo Tsumugi said, Qin closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.
"Hey, Captain Qin? You're back to life!"
Tsumugi Kujo shouted in front of Qin with some distress.
You can keep silent if you want, but at least tell me where the carrier pigeon that communicates with Ningguang is!
"Miss Kujo, you are right. The reason why Mond has to endure all the difficulties is that Mond is too weak."
"From the incident of the dragon Ursa a few years ago to this time's attack by the wind dragon, the Fatui have been infiltrating continuously... I have always believed that as long as I work hard to improve my strength, I can protect the people of Mondstadt from such disasters."
"So, I practiced swordsmanship desperately every day, hoping to protect Mondstadt with my own hands... But the facts prove that the power of an individual is still limited, so I decided..."
Don't want to be a human anymore? Kujo Tsumugi complained in his heart.
"I have decided. I want Mond to become stronger! I hope Mond can have the power to protect himself!"
There was a determined light in Qin's blue eyes.
"That's right! That's it! Since the God of Wind has no intention of governing Mondstadt, the people of Mondstadt can only protect themselves with their own hands! There has never been a savior, and we don't have to rely on gods or emperors. To create our own happiness, we have to rely on ourselves!" Kujo Tsumugi watched the fun from the sidelines and added fuel to the fire.
"So, Miss Kujo, I hope you can serve as my special advisor. Of course, I will not treat you unfairly in terms of salary."
How come Qin suddenly came to his senses...
Kujo Tsumugi was a little surprised, but of course she would not miss such a good opportunity to earn Mora.
"Yes, but I have to be frank. When I was in Inazuma, my sister didn't dare to let me handle government affairs because every time it was my turn to handle government affairs, the prison in Inazuma would be overcrowded. Later, two new prisons were built, but it was still not enough."
"This... Miss Kujo, please show some mercy..."
Chapter 79 Kujo Tsumugi's Advice
Afterwards, Kujo Tsumugi borrowed Qin's carrier pigeon to send her letter to Liyue and planned to leave, but was stopped by Qin when she was about to leave.
"What's wrong?" Tsumugi Kujo frowned slightly. "Although I promised to become your special advisor, you should also know that now is not the time to implement reforms. At least you should wait until you have resolved the issues of the Northland Bank and Tevarin."
"…It's about the North Country Bank." Qin's attitude was a little hesitant. "It's about the suggestion you made yesterday, Miss Kujo… Is it still effective now?"
It seems that Mond still can't solve these Mora gaps.
"Of course it works." Tsumugi Kujo smiled slightly, "If Captain Qin is willing to agree to my conditions now, I can also propose a way to help Mond reduce a lot of expenses."
"I... can agree to it." Qin agreed after hesitating for a long time.
"Very good. For the sake of Captain Qin, I will take a small loss. Three hundred million Mora in exchange for ten percent of the shares."
Kujo Tsumugi took out 300 million Mora.
"Then as for the way to save money..." Kujo Tsumugi tapped her lips with her index finger, "It's very simple, just lay off employees."
"Most of the Knights of Favonius nowadays are useless. They patrol Mondstadt every day and help solve some of the residents' requests. These tasks can be handed over to adventurers who are cheaper."
"But serving the people is one of the purposes of a knight," Qin said with a frown.
"I didn't stop them from helping the people of Mondstadt. I just removed them from their positions. If they want, they can help other people solve their problems for free after they lose their jobs, just like Noelle did."
"Captain Qin, you should understand that the Knights of Favonius are an army, not a police force. Their mission should be to clear the monsters outside the city, rather than focusing most of their energy inside Mondstadt."
In Inazuma, the Three Bugyo have two subordinate organizations named "Tongshin" and "Yoriki". The duties of "Tongshin" are similar to those of the police, and they are usually responsible for patrolling and maintaining public security in Inazuma Castle, while "Yoriki" are some lower-level civil servants who hold some small powers and are also the superiors of "Tongshin". In the game, the guy who wanted to defraud the traveler of 4 million Mora when he just entered Inazuma was a "Yoriki".
However, in Mondstadt, there is no distinction between the "army" and "police" of the Knights of Favonius. This leads to a mixed bag in the Knights Order, with each person's combat skills varying greatly, indirectly leading to a decline in the strength of the Knights Order. After all, you can't compare the combat capabilities of the "police" with those of other countries' "army."
Although Liyue's Thousand Yan Army did not distinguish between "police" and "army" like Mondstadt, there were too many Thousand Yan soldiers. They only needed a small part of their forces to maintain public security in Liyue Harbor. Therefore, the small number of "police" did not significantly reduce the Thousand Yan Army's combat effectiveness.
"Tell those Knights of Favonius to either fight monsters outside the city, or throw away their armor and get out of the Knights Order. The Knights Order doesn't need the useless people who are just hanging around in Mondstadt."
"Then have the Knights of Favonius hand over all the treasure chests and alchemical materials seized from the hillmen during the battle. This will also save some Mora."
"But that would cause many casualties among the knights..."
"Except for Xumi, which country's army didn't grow up in battles with monsters?"
Kujo Tsumugi's words left Qin speechless.
Kujo Tsumugi also knew that what she said was very tough, but she had no other choice. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter. If she couldn't change Qin's mentality now, it would be better to do nothing from the beginning.
"I understand. I will do as you say."
Qin took a deep breath, then lowered her head and began to think about the specific feasibility.
Kujo Tsumugi's words could only give her a general direction. As for how many Knights of Favonius should be reduced and the employment issues of the unemployed Knights of Favonius, these were all things that Qin would need to work hard to study.
"Captain Qin, have you forgotten something?" Seeing that Qin was now impatiently thinking about the feasibility of the suggestion, Kujo Tsumugi interrupted her thoughts with some amusement.
"Now the matter of the Northland Bank has been resolved, but don't forget that there is still a Tevarin in the sky."
Kujo Tsumugi's words woke Qin up.
Indeed, Tevarin doesn't know how to solve it now.
"As for Tevarin, Ying has a special ability to purify the breath of the abyss, and the wind god Barbatos has now changed his name to a bard named Wendy and is now in Mondstadt. You can let them deal with Tevarin's affairs."
"But I tell you, Barbatos will definitely suggest using the song of the Sky Harp to attract Tevarin. I tell you directly, that is useless. What you have to do is to go directly to the Wind Dragon Ruins to find Tevarin, beat him up, and finally let Ying evolve the Abyss Corrosion on him."
Seeing Qin's distressed look, Kujo Tsumugi somewhat boringly spoiled the subsequent plot.
Now, Kujo Tsumugi just wants to solve Tevarin's problem as soon as possible, and then find a way to improve Mondstadt's national strength.
Hmm? You ask why Kujo Tsumugi did this?
First, Tsumugi Kujo has already invested in Mond's new bank, so the more prosperous Mond becomes in the future, the greater the benefits Tsumugi Kujo will gain.
Secondly, of course, if Duoduo can give Qin more ideas, his salary as a special consultant will also increase.
Thirdly, Kujo Tsumugi hoped to divert Ningguang's attention and stop her from thinking about Mora all day long. It would be best to create some border frictions between Mondstadt and Liyue, leading to continued tension in the relationship between the two countries, so that Ningguang would have no energy to deal with him.
