Along with the news of the establishment of New Inazuma came the systematic contents such as the ideas, doctrinal basis, class stance, methods and goals, etc. of the current ruling party of New Inazuma, ICP.
This time, it has gained a firm foothold, and the content it disseminates is no longer one that has been censored layer by layer.
When this information spread, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Teyvat.
Chapter 227 Go with the flow?
"absurd!"
In a teahouse in Liyue, a businessman angrily threw the magazine in his hand onto the table.
"It's unreasonable! How dare they? They actually describe our hard-earned wealth as exploitation of those peasants. They don't know shit!"
The other people at the table just picked up their tea silently, with disdain in their hearts.
Come on, you spend eight out of ten days either fishing or drinking tea, and yet you have a net worth of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars? How dare you say that? Why are you pretending to be a white lotus?
What is said above is not wrong. If one can earn such huge wealth simply through hard work, then the richest man in Teyvat should be a donkey.
However, although a few people did not agree, they were still unhappy.
You analyze these things one by one so clearly and list them out. Is this possible?
Aren't you slapping us in the face?
In the past, you could tell your subordinates that they were not working hard enough, that they earned the money through hard work and wisdom, that they took the risks, etc. What can you say now?
In the eyes of these businessmen, the new Inazuma government is simply in a very bad shape.
You are a powerful institution that rules over Inazuma, and you also have violent institutions under your command. Instead of "governing the world together with the literati and officials", you make decisions for those poor guys and cannot be mentioned in three sentences.
Even if Ningguang had previously wanted to increase salaries and benefits, she had discussed this with the "literati". In the end, they made quite a bit of money, so it was a win-win situation. These people were just short of directly confiscating their property.
No, according to what was described in the newspaper, Inazuma’s colleagues might not be long from having their homes raided.
Somehow, several people began to feel a sense of fear that they were experiencing.
On the one hand, the rabbit dies and the fox mourns, on the other hand...
——Those Inazuma people have openly declared their support for the workers' and peasants' movements in various countries.
They were afraid that one day they would wake up to find those poor bastards standing in their bedroom with guns pointed at their heads.
No, no, it’s too terrible!
Several people shuddered at the same time, and then shook their heads hard, as if this could get rid of such a scene from their minds.
"Hey guys, this isn't a good idea. We need to think of a solution."
Several people came closer and formed a crowd.
"What can I do?"
"We can't let this nonsense spread."
Regardless of whether it is right or not, true or not, if it does not benefit you, it is just nonsense.
"What they mean is..."
The businessman who had lost his temper and thrown the magazine on the table asked the few people.
"Cut off all contact with Inazuma?"
One of the people who was more impatient casually joined in the conversation, and unexpectedly, he directly opened up the conversation of everyone at the table.
"Good idea, I support Brother Luo. For such a place that doesn't follow the rules, we should completely isolate it and have no contact with it!"
"Yes, that's right. That's right."
"That's right, Brother Luo should set an example."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Several people responded to this verbally while looking at the people around them with strange looks in their eyes, trying to find the fool who was really taking it seriously.
The previous trade with Kaigi Island made them very rich, and now with the entire Inazuma, their demand for minerals has doubled, and various orders are coming in like snowflakes.
Let’s talk about the harm first, this money is real!
If anyone gives up at this point, don't blame me for being rude. Thanks to you in advance.
The eyes of several people moved around and finally fell on the man called Brother Luo.
"a ha ha ha……"
He suddenly realized what nonsense he was talking about, and just smiled awkwardly, shrank his neck, and sat back down.
"We want to make money, but we can't accept these messy things. We plan to jointly put pressure on Yujingtai to ban the spread of these ideas, prohibit illegal gatherings, and strictly restrict personnel exchanges between the two sides."
It was obvious that everyone knew who the "we" he was talking about was.
"That's a good idea. I'll be the first to support it."
"I support it too."
"Me too."
Hearing this, the person who proposed the plan smiled.
Another group was recruited.
There are already so many people here, I think Qixing has no reason to refuse.
Not long after, the Seven Stars received a joint request from the Liyue merchants.
Ningguang, Keqing and other seven stars held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
Except for Ningguang, the other seven stars all expressed their support for this.
The growth of Inazuma's resistance army was inseparable from their support. Although they also gained a lot of benefits, they were the ones who indirectly strengthened the power that could destroy these businessmen.
Their ideas and practices were contrary to Liyue's traditions and conflicted with each other, leading to a boycott by merchants in Liyue.
However, many of Liyue’s current developments are inseparable from the other party.
Moreover, as an open trade capital, Liyue has no such precedent and lacks legal support.
The seven stars were in a difficult position being stuck in the middle, and couldn't do anything.
Now that the businessmen are willing to unite and give them public support and take the blame, they might as well go with the flow and make this happen.
As big businessmen, they felt deeply threatened and strongly supported these proposals; as the Seven Stars of Liyue, whose status was higher than that of merchants, they also supported it because it might lead to instability in Liyue.
Ningguang was the only one who held opposing views at the meeting, believing that the matter should be left untouched and allowed to develop.
“Ningguang, what’s wrong with you? Look at what’s written here. It allows people to have plenty of ‘free time’, but who would work? Wouldn’t everyone just be lazy? How can Liyue function?”
Keqing doesn't care much about things like opposing merchants earning surplus value.
She also opposed those unscrupulous bosses. She was the first one to go undercover and catch those unscrupulous bosses who exploited their workers.
What she cares about is that if people are "free", who will go to work?
Look at the sloppy look of the Mond people next door!
With the not-so-outstanding case of Mondstadt, Keqing, who has always been decisive and resolute, subconsciously holds a pessimistic attitude towards things with the word "freedom".
"Yes, they are directly denying the legitimacy of the merchants' income. This is provoking conflicts between workers and merchants, and this is shaking the foundation of Liyue!"
The other Seven Stars also opposed Ningguang's opposition for one reason or another.
Ningguang's reasons for opposing it were equally valid.
She cited the example of a few years ago when merchants in Liyue tried every means to lower workers' wages, leading to the gradual decline of Liyue's economy.
Especially when it came to the matter of the Northland Bank, they were completely unable to fight back. They were a complete novice in foreign wars but an expert in civil wars.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of this opportunity from Haigi Island, there wouldn't be any way to break the impasse now.
"Such a huge reaction from the merchants shows that they are afraid. In this case, perhaps we can make good use of it and use it as a restraining force to prevent such things from happening again?"
From the perspective of the Seven Stars, this is indeed something they need to consider.
Chapter 228 Brother Kong: How can I be such a big wind dragon?
The merchants put pressure together, but after waiting for a few days, they only got news that the Seven Stars were arguing about the matter.
It is said that there are huge differences among the Seven Stars and they have not been able to reach a unified opinion on this matter. The two groups of people who support and oppose each have their own opinions and reasons, and no one can convince the other.
From the news that was "inadvertently" leaked, people learned that the person who had always been the first to express opposition was actually Tianquan Star Ningguang.
This made everyone lack confidence.
That is Tianquan Ningguang.
Her eyes have never been wrong.
You know, even the pieces of paper that Ningguang tore up and threw away during the analysis process were bought by someone at a high price, in the hope of finding some unique information from them.
What good can this thing do to merchants if it spreads without restriction? ? ?
They looked and looked, but could come to no avail.
If you just show it to them, that's fine. They won't overthrow themselves. They can do the opposite and be more targeted. They can also reduce costs and increase efficiency, allowing them to make greater profits.
But if there is no restriction and the workers can also watch it, that would be bad.
Unfortunately, they had no ability to find out what the Seven Stars discussed, nor did they know what benefits Ningguang had discovered and what they could gain from it.
The original proposal was stuck and failed to pass, and because of Tianquan Ningguang's opposition, the merchants' morale became low.
The thoughts of these wavering people were also very simple: "Since Lady Ningguang has said it is wrong, then it must be wrong. Forget it."
It is no longer realistic to exert the same pressure as before.
After a long debate, the result was just a temporary order from Qixing to restrict discussion in public places, which was considered a response to the merchants.
As for further action, they are still arguing.
Compared to the quarrels in Liyue, Mondstadt next door is much better.
Diluk didn't care.
Diluk doesn't move, and the abilities of Mondstadt's other merchants are also limited.
The most important thing is that given the "free" nature of the Mond people, it is difficult to say what impact it will have.
No one really cares.
This is also true for the Church of Favonius. The evaluation of the gods here is relatively objective. They even think that some of the content is in line with Lord Barbatos's concept of freedom and can be promoted.
The only ones who were unhappy and cursed loudly were probably the old aristocratic forces.
Unfortunately, they and their few lackeys had no effect, and the Knights of Favonius still firmly controlled the overall situation.
Not only can the people of Mond openly discuss and spread this information, the Knights of Favonius even use it as an argument to refute those who advocate the privatization of fully automatic machines and snow mountain resources.
In such a harmonious scene, as expected, an accident happened.
Dragon disaster!
A sudden giant dragon attacked Mondstadt with a hurricane.
Mondstadt's garrison responded hastily, with only a small number of anti-aircraft guns as its anti-aircraft firepower.
It poses no threat to the dragon at all.
On the contrary, it angered the giant dragon in the sky.
People call it the Wind Dragon.
Seeing that the Wind Dragon was preparing for the next wave of attack, Qin had already begun to mobilize everyone to take action to repel it, but the direction of the wind quietly changed.
The artillery fire originally directed at the Wind Dragon was blown away by the wind.
"Tevarin, don't be afraid, I'm back."
Such a sound was carried in the flowing wind.
"Come, follow me..."
A hint of clarity emerged in the Wind Demon Dragon's eyes.
