Zongman: Daily draw

"When I first arrived at Liyue Harbor yesterday, you were here, right? Although the Rock Tea House is your business, it must be strange for you to spend the whole morning drinking tea with me, right?"

"You said that Yanshang Tea House is my property, so can I do whatever I want?"

Ye Lan smiled slyly, then changed the subject and made it clear.

"I already know the strategy of 'the rise of a great power'. What are you going to do next?"

"Building roads."

"Building roads?"

Ye Lan was stunned.

What does a strong country have to do with building roads?

"If you want to be rich, build roads first..."

Link picked up the teacup and continued drinking his tea.

......

The people of Liyue feel very strange today.

Things happened one after another. Not only was Liyue Daily established, but some kiln factories were also ordered by Ningguang to burn a strange powder.

And they also sent the Qianyan Army to garrison there.

This left many people very confused and they didn't understand what was going on.

It was noon, and after drinking his tea, Link began to stroll along the streets of Liyue Harbor.

At noon, the streets are naturally very busy.

Reality and games are naturally different.

There are more than just a few cats and kittens in the shops on a street.

On the contrary, there are quite a lot.

There is also a wide variety of delicious food.

The whole street was filled with shouting.

Places like teahouses are already full of people at this time.

"really not bad!"

Link really likes this kind of atmosphere.

Even before I traveled through time, streets like this were extremely rare.

It smells like fireworks.

As he walked around, Link finally saw the Hall of All Peoples.

Wanmin Hall was also very lively at this time.

Wanmintang is a store that specializes in popular food.

Cheap and delicious are the signature dishes of Wanmin Hall.

At noon, the place was already packed with people. You can imagine how popular Wanmin Hall is.

Link didn't hesitate and walked straight inside.

As soon as I walked in, a waiter came to greet me.

"Sir, please come in. Are you alone?"

"Correct."

"Please come over here."

Xiangling’s father is not the only one in Wanmin Hall.

There are also many waiters.

It's not like in the game, where there is only a small kitchen and anyone can come in. Instead, it is very large.

Link was led by the waiter to an empty seat and sat down. After simply ordering two meals, he quietly drank his tea and waited.

After only five minutes of waiting, the waiter brought the dishes Link ordered.

Unfortunately, I still didn’t see Xiangling.

"Forget it, let's eat!"

Link picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

Just as I picked up a piece of golden shrimp ball, a familiar voice came from the door...

"Mr. Link, I finally found you!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Link turned his head in confusion.

"What's wrong? Keqing."

Isn't this hurried sound the sound of carving cats?

Why are you in such a hurry? Are you looking for him for something?

"Link, come with me!"

"I haven't eaten yet..."

Hearing this, Keqing looked towards Link's table. Neither of the two dishes had been touched yet.

Then, I saw the golden shrimp balls...

"Gululu..."

Her stomach also rumbled at an inopportune moment.

"Come, sit down. It's noon now, let's eat first!"

After that, Link called the waiter and asked Keqing to order the dishes.

213. Connecting North and South

At the dinner table, Keqing began to discuss the follow-up plans with Link.

Among the Seven Stars, Keqing is in charge of land and construction, and is responsible for managing the land and people's livelihood. Link's subsequent infrastructure plans naturally cannot be separated from Keqing's strong cooperation.

"If I remember correctly, Keqing, most of the minerals and stones in Liyue should come from the Stratum Chasm, right?"

"That's true. At present, at least 70% of the minerals and stones come from the Layered Chasm. In your words, that is our Liyue's large-scale mining base."

After saying that, Keqing picked up a golden shrimp ball, put it in her mouth, and chewed it gently.

"Keqing, most of Liyue's minerals and rocks come from the Layered Abyss. But have you ever thought about how much impact it would have on us if something went wrong with the Layered Abyss and production suddenly stopped?"

"Discontinued?"

As she spoke, Keqing suddenly thought of those Fatui!

Recently, the Fatui sent some scientific expedition teams into the Layered Abyss. If something goes wrong...

"I believe you already know what I mean. It is definitely not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. We must take precautions."

Link went on to say, "Also, our Liyue is vast and rich in resources. I roughly divide it into six parts: Layered Rock Abyss, Lisha Suburbs, Qiongji Wilderness, Min Forest, Bishui Plain, and Chenyu Valley. With such a huge territory, there is no decent road running through the north and south. The specialties in the north cannot be brought down, and the materials in the south cannot be brought up. Think about it carefully, is the tea from Chenyu Valley sold at a particularly high price in Liyue Harbor? What percentage of that is freight? In this way, how can the economy take off?"

“So how should we change now?”

"Build a road! I will build a railway later. I have asked Ningguang to take care of the materials. When the construction starts, Keqing, I will need your help. Military stations will need to be built along the way to protect the railway and prevent damage from monsters and treasure thieves!"

"Obligated!"

Teyvat, this world is extremely rich in resources.

It’s just a pity that people in this world don’t know how to make use of it.

Let’s take the most common slime as an example…

For example, the rocks spit out by rock slimes are square and look like ready-made stone bricks. They can be used for paving roads and building houses, and can solve the material problem very well.

Thunder slimes can be used to generate electricity. The amount of electricity released by a giant slime at one time is enough to electrocute a normal person. This amount of electricity can be properly utilized.

Fire slimes can be used to make fire and cook, wind slimes can be used to make airships as transport machines, and ice slimes can be used to make refrigerators...

Aren’t these all ready-made pallu?

Link could think of many uses with just a cursory thought.

"When the time comes, we can catch some slimes and bring them back to have the scientists there study them. They might be able to come up with some good things."

Link thought in his mind.

......

After dinner, Link originally wanted to go to the Yanshang Tea House to have afternoon tea with Ye Lan, but Keqing hurriedly pulled him away with the excuse that "there is still work to be done, how can you take a rest?"

The two of them came directly to the General Affairs Department.

Ganyu is also here at this time.

Seeing Link's words, Ganyu quickly waved and said, "Mr. Link, please come over here."

On the wall behind Ganyu, there was a detailed map of Liyue. After seeing the map, Link understood what he was here for.

Draw pictures and make plans.

"This is a detailed map of Liyue. It tells us where we should start our construction. Mr. Link, you are the one who makes the decision. Ningguang said that you are the one who makes the decision. She is only responsible for providing money and materials."

Ganyu said as she got Link some pen and ink.

Upon hearing this, Link looked directly at the map behind Ganyu.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Before we start all the plans, we have to build the road first. As for the road construction, I don't need to say more. The people I bring will be fully responsible for it."

Listening to Link's words, Keqing on the side hurriedly recorded them.

Seeing this, Link did not hesitate, but continued to express some of his thoughts.

With Liyue's current industrial level, it is impossible to produce steel bars or something like that.

It can even be said that Liyue has no industry at all.

So we can’t expect them to build the railway now. Not to mention the railway, even the cement road may not be built.

"Then we need to clear the monsters along the way. Hillbillies and the like must be cleared out, otherwise we won't be able to build. We can recruit a large number of adventurers to clean up the monsters. We can capture slimes and the like first. These things should be very useful in the future. Just hand them over to me when the time comes."

Listening to what Link said, Keqing hurriedly wrote it down, but she also put forward her own ideas.

"As for adventurers, we can hire some, but we don't need too many. Our Thousand Rock Army is no pushover, so we can just send troops to wipe them out when the time comes."

"That's fine, you can do it yourself."

After finishing these preliminary work.

Link directly used his rock element creation ability and combined it with the map to create a three-dimensional model of Liyue!

Suddenly, a huge model appeared in the office.

Seeing this model suddenly appear, Ganyu and Keqing were stunned for a moment.

"this..."

What ability is this?

Creating something out of thin air?

"Ahem, this is the ability of rock element creation that I gained after signing the contract with the Emperor. It is quite convenient to make some models. Come, let's use this model to talk about how to plan. This way it will look more detailed."

After that, Link pointed to Wangshu Inn and said, "We will use Wangshu Inn as the center point to connect the north and the south, and then the bridge leading to Mingyun Town will also be rebuilt."

"Yaoguang Beach, we need to pay attention to the protection and development here. It can be used as a place for entertainment in the summer. In addition, this area has a flat terrain. I plan to build a 'Liyue Airport' here in the future."

"In the future, we can focus on developing Mingyun Town. Mining there has stopped, but it can also be transformed into a tourist area or residential area."
