"As long as you become a high-ranking member of the Knights Templar, or become the leader of the Knights Templar, you can implement a ban on alcohol in Mondstadt."

Tsumugi Kujo began to educate Diona about Prohibition.

The policy of prohibition is extremely vicious, because from a national perspective, prohibition is not only harmless to the country, but also very beneficial. For example, if the country monopolizes the alcohol industry, then the profits generated will go to the national treasury. If the national treasury is full, the country will have money to carry out construction. In addition, prohibition can also ensure the country's food security, reduce the number of drunkards, and improve social security.

The most cruel thing is that before the prohibition of alcohol was implemented, the leaders at the top often did not see the possible disadvantages of the prohibition. Because the leaders at the top usually seldom drank alcohol, and even if they did, they only drank a little. In their eyes, things like alcohol addiction can be overcome by enduring. In addition, prohibition of alcohol is of great benefit to the country, so the leaders at the top often tend to prohibit alcohol.

But for ordinary Mondstadt people, prohibition of alcohol would mean the end of them. Bards need alcohol for inspiration, hunters and farmers need alcohol to refresh their minds and relieve fatigue. In addition, due to historical reasons, almost everyone in Mondstadt is an alcoholic. People like Jyn or Diluk who don't drink at all are considered "strange people" in Mondstadt.

However, when Tsumugi Kujo was explaining the prohibition to Diona, he was very unethical and did not explain the possible disadvantages. Therefore, after listening to Tsumugi Kujo's explanation, Diona said that it was really better to listen to his words than to read ten years of books. It turned out that her previous thinking was completely wrong! She immediately said that she would join the Knights of Favonius, get into the upper echelons, and then implement the prohibition!

Looking at Diona leaving excitedly, Kujo Tsumugi took another sip of his drink.

After Diona implements the prohibition law in Mondstadt, we will smuggle Inazuma's wine to Mondstadt.

Although Inazuma's wine cannot compete with Liyue's, but since Liyue eats meat, it should be fine for Inazuma to drink soup.

In just a few words, he helped the Knights of Favonius absorb a God's Eye owner. I'm sure Captain Qin will be very happy. Kujo Tsumugi thought nonchalantly.

After completing today's "One Good Deed a Day", Tsumugi Kujo took a drink and walked to the back of the already built Mondstadt stage. Here, Kaeya had been waiting for her for a long time...

Chapter 137: Making a Big Profit at the Auction

"Hey, Kaia, are you all ready?"

As soon as she saw Kaeya, the smile on Kujo Tsumugi's face deepened and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Of course."

Kaia smiled back.

Normally, there should be no activities in the afternoon of the celebration. It is traditional to let the people of Mond have a good rest.

Well, "normally speaking".

But how could Tsumugi Kujo not do something during this celebration? She contacted Kaia and wanted to take advantage of this period of time to hold an auction using the vacant stage in Fengshen Square.

Tsumugi Kujo had no interest in the auction, but as a partner, Kaiya promised her that she could take half of the proceeds from the auction. When this was mentioned, Tsumugi Kujo became excited.

Because they were worried that Captain Qin would not agree to hold the auction, this was held secretly behind her back.

In the morning, the people of Mond handed over their unwanted items to Kaeya and stated their expected selling price. Half of the items that exceeded the expected selling price would go to the auctioneer, and the other half would go to the organizer of the auction, that is, Kaeya and Kujo Tsumugi.

Looks like you can make a lot of money, right?

Actually, that's not the case. The items that the Mond people put up for auction are all things of very low value. Even if these things can be sold out smoothly, Kujo Tsumugi will not get much Mora. She held this auction just to be able to successfully sell the spoils that she had snatched from the "Monster Bird"... ahem, recovered.

For example, the two eyes of God and some exquisite ornaments.

After waiting for a while behind the stage, many people had already sat in the audience seats after hearing the news of the auction. Kujo Tsumugi signaled with his eyes that Kaeya could come on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome to Mond's first auction..."

Although it was Kaiya's first time to be a host, he did not show any stage fright. Instead, he used his high emotional intelligence and rhetoric to successfully mobilize the emotions of the audience. Soon someone shouted at him to quickly take out the first auction item.

Seeing this lively scene, Kujo Tsumugi, who was hiding in the backstage, felt inferior. Apart from making others angry, Kujo Tsumugi felt that she had no other extraordinary talents.

The first auction item was an autobiography written by an art student who wanted to be admitted to Xumi College but failed. The title of the book was "My Efforts", but it received a mediocre response. Not many people were willing to spend money to buy a book whose content was unknown. However, Kaiya exaggerated the tragic life of the failed art student and managed to get a businessman to buy it for 20,000 Mora, which was 20,000 Mora more than the expected price.

Of the 20,000 Moras, half went to the auctioneer, and the other half was shared by Tsumugi Kujo and Kaeya, which means that Tsumugi Kujo only earned 5,000 Moras.

Tsk, boring.

Kujo Tsumugi curled her lips. Now that she was well off, her bad habit of not treating money seriously was beginning to resurface.

However, this first auction item at least made some profit, which is a good start.

The next auction items were mostly paintings by wandering painters, gold and silver jewelry, and even some second-hand furniture for sale. As the auction went smoothly, those heavyweight auction items began to appear one by one.

"The next auction item is very special, because it is a promise..." Kaeya stirred the emotions of the audience, "That is... Grandpa Diluk promised that the highest bidder will be able to drink as much as he wants from the gifts of his tavern angels for a whole month! Drink as much as you want! And you can bring up to two friends to drink with you!"

After hearing this special promise, the audience looked at each other, wondering what this was all about.

"Everything I said is true." Kaia said, picking up a contract. "Here is the contract. The highest bidder can come to the stage and sign the contract immediately. As the captain of the Knights of Favonius, I can confirm the validity of this contract!"

Diluk is such a marketing genius...

Tsumugi Kujo thought as she was flipping through the auction items list in the backstage.

Just a little help can make the Dawn Winery famous at the auction. Although it cannot completely suppress the Cat's Tail Tavern, it can also let Margaret know who is the boss in Mond Wine Industry.

Finally, this special promise was bought by a noble who loved drinking for 500,000 Mora. For the noble, this contract also had special collection significance. Even if they did not go to the Angel's Gift to drink, this contract with Diluk's autograph alone was worth 500,000 Mora.

After Diluk's promise, the item to be auctioned is the most important item of this auction - the Eye of God.

The reason why the news of this auction spread so quickly in Mondstadt in just a few days was because Kaeya spread the word that the Eye of God would be auctioned at this auction.

According to the customs of this world, after the owner of the Eye of God dies, people will bury their Eye of God with them. After all, for the owner of the Eye of God, it is difficult to find something more precious than their own Eye of God.

Therefore, on the continent of Teyvat, even the dull Eye of God can be sold at a sky-high price, and in order to quickly cash in on the two Eyes of God, Kujo Tsumugi also reduced the price.

"The starting price is three million Mora, and each bid increase cannot be less than two hundred thousand Mora. Bidding begins now!" Kaiya didn't even need to introduce the item for auction, and the audience in the audience began to bid.

"Four million Mora!"

"Four and a half million Mora!"

"Five and a half million Mora!"

As soon as the auction started, the prices of the two eyes of God kept rising until they reached 12 million Mora. The high prices eliminated ordinary people and some small and medium-sized nobles, and the price increase slowed down.

"Thirteen million Mora!"

"Eighteen million Mora!"

The price of the auction item instantly increased by five million Mora, which immediately shocked the audience. What surprised them was not the generosity of the bidder, but the bidder himself - he was from the Lawrence family!

"Schubert! What are you people from the Lawrence family doing here!" Someone in the crowd recognized the identity of the bidder.

"Humph! What a noise, a bunch of unruly people!"

Even though the Lawrence family has fallen into decline, their pride has not diminished. Facing the man's doubts, Schubert ignored him and said to Kaia, who was hosting the event on the stage: "The commoner who is standing on the high platform and trying to look down on the great Lawrence people, continue your work!"

After Schubert raised the price, the rest of the people stopped bidding. It was not because they did not want to bid, but because they had spent too much Mora in the previous auction and were not well off now. Schubert obviously had a clear goal. This was his first time bidding since the beginning of the auction, and his first bid was to buy both of the Eyes of God.

"Eighteen million Moras once, eighteen million Moras twice..."

Just when everyone thought that these two eyes of God would be bought by Schubert, someone who had never made a bid before made a bid.

"Twenty million Mora..."

Chapter 138 Lawrence's Fate

The people at the auction subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person who made the bid was the richest man in Mondstadt, the owner of the Dawn Winery, Grandpa Diluk.

Haha, this is going to be a good show.

Kujo Tsumugi immediately showed a look of watching a good show.

If the Lawrence family in reality was the same as in the simulation, Tsumugi Kujo might favor the Lawrence family because of the simulated memory. However, the reality is that even after a thousand years, those Lawrence people still did not change their bad habits and tried to bring Mond into that dark age. Since they were so ignorant, Tsumugi Kujo didn't bother to care.

It's nice to see a clown show for free, isn't it?

But where did the declining Lawrence family get so many Moras to participate in the auction?

Kujo Tsumugi narrowed his eyes, thinking he smelled a rat, and activated the gift of the earth veins.

After a few minutes of searching, Tsumugi Kujo roughly figured out the source of the Lawrence family's funds.

"Huh, so it turns out it has something to do with the Fatui."

The plot development in reality is similar to that in the game. The Fatui had reached an agreement with the Lawrence family long ago to provide them with funds continuously. In return, the Lawrence family would provide the Fatui with intelligence about Mond. To put it bluntly, they were traitors and led the Imperial Army.

According to the original development, the Fatui would now start trying to obtain the defense map of Mondstadt, but due to the butterfly effect of Tsumugi Kujo, the Fatui's status in Mondstadt is now even worse than that of mice, so they are now extremely cautious, and even walking out of the Goethe Hotel requires great courage, so they dare not continue to flirt with the Lawrence family, so the two slowly lost contact.

Seeing the decline of the Imperial Army, Lawrence the dog began to get anxious. Because of the funding from the Fatui, the Lawrence family had a rare affluent life in the past few years. As the saying goes, it is difficult to live a simple life from luxury. Seeing that the No. 1 brother was about to abandon them, the Lawrence family was eager to prove their worth to the Fatui. It happened that they heard that the doctor was collecting the Eye of God recently, and they also heard that the Eye of God would appear at this auction. Schubert took the risk of being besieged by Mondstadt and ran here to participate in the auction.

Oh, you even dare to flirt with the Fatui...

If Kujo Tsumugi just wanted to watch coldly before, now she has already started planning how to destroy the Lawrence family.

It's not just the Lawrence family. The Gilded Brigade, the rebels on Umi Island, the Hiiragi family... all these forces that are in collusion with the Fatui, Kujo Tsumugi will kill them all sooner or later.

During this time, Tsumugi Kujo used the gift skills of the earth veins to figure out the reason why the doctor collected the Eye of God - this time there was no conspiracy, it was simply a lack of experimental materials.

Although the Eye of God can be purchased through regular channels, doing so will leave traces, so the doctor asked his men to purchase it from "special channels".

"Twenty million Moras at a time, two thousand..."

"Twenty-two million Mora!" Robert almost gritted his teeth as he shouted out the price. This was the highest price he could offer.

"Twenty-three million Mora." Diluk continued to raise the price calmly.

In the past few days, the 2 billion Mora promised by the Fatui have arrived in Mondstadt, and Captain Jean has also returned 200 million Mora to Diluk with interest, so Diluk is not short of money at all now.

No, Diluk has never been short of money. The reason why he could only give 200 million Mora to Jean before was because most of his Mora was used for real estate investment and business, and the only liquid funds he could temporarily take out were 200 million Mora.

"Lord Diluk, our Lawrence family is short of talent at the moment, and we urgently need these two God's Eyes to supplement our talent. I hope you will be kind enough to help us, and we will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards." (Translation: Give me some face?)

Seeing that there was no way to purchase them through normal channels, Schubert tried to plead his case, hoping that Diluk would give him the two Eyes of God.

When facing Diluk, who was also a noble, Schubert's attitude became much better. At least he treated Diluk as an equal.

"It's just a rumor that the lost eyes of God can be reactivated. Sir Schubert should not take it to heart. These two eyes of God are very beautiful. I want to buy them as decorations for the Dawn Winery. I hope Sir Schubert will give them up." (Translation: If you don't give them to me, get lost!)

Faced with the polite Schubert, Diluk also played the hypocritical aristocratic tricks on him.

"Haha, since Grandpa Diluk has said so, then our Lawrence family has no choice but to give him face." (Translation: You are noble, you are great, you are rich, okay.)

Schubert bowed slightly, performed an elegant aristocratic salute, and then left in full view of everyone.

Well... 23 million Mora... it's not bad.

This price has far exceeded the market price of two God's Eyes, but Kujo Tsumugi still thought greedily.

After a short auction, Kujo Tsumugi received a total of about 26 million Mora, most of which was the proceeds from the sale of two God's Eyes.

So-so.

Tsumugi Kujo looked at the purse handed to her by Kaia and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"I really don't know what you were thinking." After the auction, Diluk also came to the backstage to find Kujo Tsumugi, "You knew that the doctor was collecting God's Eyes, but you also spread the word that you wanted to sell God's Eyes."

"Hehe, just wait and see what happens next."

The Lawrence family will definitely not let this go and will definitely take action, and this is exactly what Kujo Tsumabuki is waiting for.

The smile on Kujo Tsumugi's face slowly disappeared until finally a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Grandpa Lu, I have a very serious question to ask. If the patriarch of the Lawrence family died mysteriously at night, how would the Mondrians react?"

"Don't even think about it." Diluk frowned and interrupted what Kujo Tsumugi wanted to say. "If you really do this, Mondstadt and Inazuma will definitely go to war."

The nobles of Inazuma killed the founding nobles of Mondstadt. This was more than just a diplomatic incident, it was a declaration of war.

"But what if it was the Fatui who killed the head of the Lawrence family?" Kujo Tsumabuki continued to ask.

"Are you crazy?" Diluk's voice was a little dissatisfied. Through the previous trip to the Wind Dragon Ruins, Diluk thought he had understood Kujo Tsumugi's character, but he didn't expect that she was even crazier than he thought, and actually wanted to kill the head of the Lawrence family directly.

A madman.

Diluk made a conclusion about Kujo Tsumugi in his mind.

"Is there really no possibility?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Diluk's answer was decisive.

"...Okay." Tsumugi Kujo stared into Diluk's eyes for a long time, then gave up her plan.

Mingming had just thought of a very brilliant idea, which could not only solve the hidden danger of the Lawrence family, but also poach Eula to Inazuma.

Kujo Tsumugi sighed in disappointment, and under Diluk's vigilant gaze, he spread his wings and flew into the sky, soon disappearing from sight.

Tsumugi Kujo flew in the sky for more than ten minutes, and then she came to the Knights' office...but she was not looking for Qin, but for Eula.
