Seeker of Teyvat

After accelerating, the group quickly entered the castle tower.

The following Inaguchi people also stopped. Only Hanhan Yidou wanted to continue following, but was stopped by the guarding shogunate army.

Ichidou wanted to fight for it, but was pulled away by Kuki Shinobi.

Entering the castle tower,

Wang Daoyi also put away his cynical smile just now,

Getting serious.

In front of the castle tower,

Narugami Omiyaji has been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, you've kept me waiting for a long time. Why, are you so happy to be watched by people?"

"Hmph, why don't you remind Sanluo and watch her being used by Ayato?"

"Hey, please don't sow discord. As the palace secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine, I can't interfere in matters between ministers at will."

"Besides, Xiao Sanluo will grow up after what happened this time."

Yae Shenzi acted like it was none of my business and I was doing it for Kujo Sora's good.

Saying that, Yae Shenzi looked at Kujo Sera: "Thank you for escorting me, General Sera. Leave the rest to me."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Kujo Sora glanced at the Eightfold Divine Son coldly and said his resignation.

After Kujo Sora left,

Yae Shenzi looked at the other shrine maidens: "You have worked hard too, go and rest."

Along the way, Kujo Sora and Okukizu were responsible for driving away bandits such as Kairangui, and these shrine maidens were responsible for driving away various monsters and ghosts of Inazuma.

Many shrine maidens bowed to Yae Shenzi and then withdrew.

"Let's go, Shadow is waiting for you."

With that said, Yae Shenzi pushed open the gate of the castle tower.

In the castle tower,

A coffee table is placed in the empty hall,

Lei Yingying sat on his knees and sat aside,

Playing with the wine cup on the coffee table.

"When Zhen and I went to Liyue to participate in the banquet of the gods, this is how I accompanied Zhen. At that time, Yan Shen didn't like drinking tea, and Zhen was often drunk. After the banquet, I took charge Bring the truth back to Rice Wife.”

Looking at Wang Daoyi who walked in, Lei Qianqian said.

"Then it seems that I can taste the wine at the gods' banquet today?"

Wang Daoyi smiled and sat opposite Lei Qianqian.

Yae Shenzi walked to the side of Raikage and knelt down, took the wine cup from Raikage's hand, and started playing with it.

It used to be Raiden Shinsaku who accompanied Raiden, but now it's Yae Kamiko who keeps Raiden company.

"Ha, the wine back then was all good wine collected by Barbatos. The sake I have here can't compare to it."

Lei Qianqing picked up a glass and handed it to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi was not polite, took the wine glass and took a sip.

"Well, it's a bit refreshing, not bad."

The sake went down my throat. It wasn't as strong as Liyue's wine, nor as fragrant as Mondstadt's wine, nor as sweet as Shaye's wine.

There is only a refreshing feeling that makes people feel comfortable all over.

"When Zhen was still around, he liked to play with these. This is also the recipe that Zhen left behind. I hope you like it."

"Of course I like it. I like all beautiful things, including good wine," Wang Daoyi praised.

Lei Dianying smiled, and Yae Shenzi beside him poured more wine for Wang Daoyi. He was so quiet that he didn't look like a fox, but more like a rabbit.

"I hope you don't mind the matter regarding the society's magistrate. As for the child, it's also for the benefit of Inazuma."

"Ha, of course I don't care. It depends on whether Ayato can convince Nafis." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Lei Dianying thanked him and then glanced at Yae Shinto beside him.

Yae Shinko curled her lips, her quiet demeanor gone: "What? The industries they chose are all the industries that Inazuma needs to develop. Although they may be suppressed by the Ministry of Education for one or two hundred years, in the long run, Inazuma will definitely be more prosperous a hundred years later."

Lei Yingying looked at Yae Shenzi helplessly: "Son of Shenzi, a person's life may not even last a hundred years. We cannot use our perspective to look at the ideas of mortals."

"Okay, okay, huh, you get scolded for doing something, it's true that good intentions don't get rewarded." Yaezakami waved her hand and stopped refilling the two of them with wine.

Wang Daoyi smiled and felt very happy to see the fox being humiliated.

He picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass.

"These are all minor matters. The Ministry of Education will not exploit the people of Inazuma. Win-win cooperation is the truth. Ying, you don't have to worry."

"I still have to thank you and Buyer. Compared to Zhen, I am indeed not good at governing the country. It may be a good thing to have the help of the House of Lords."

When talking about the governance of a country, the impact of thunder and lightning cannot be avoided.

That great god, who bought Inazuma five hundred years even after his death, is the biggest regret in Lei Yingdian's heart.

"Let's talk business. When are we going to leave?" Wang Daoyi skipped the topic of governing the country.

He himself didn't understand this thing.

"We have detected that monsters have gathered in the Dark Sea. They will probably attack from the direction of Qinglai Island. I have mobilized the Shogunate Army to guard there. Once the monster attack begins and we find the evil god behind the scenes who is instigating the monsters, we can set off."

Speaking of monsters and evil gods, Lei Dianying finally stopped looking gentle. The sharp light of the sky flickered in her eyes, and a terrifying murderous aura swept across her.

This Thunder God was born as a shadow warrior, and what he is best at is killing.

"Qinglai Island? Are there still residents there?" Wang Daoyi asked with some confusion.

Monsters attack naturally attack humans. When he came to Inazuma before, Qinglai Island was full of the remnant souls of thunderbirds - the thunderstorm caused by the thunder sound power.

"Well, the traveler dealt with Leiyin Quanxian and reopened the seal. Some of the elders from Qinglai Island returned there, and now the shogunate army is also trying its best to persuade them to leave."

Lei Movie said.

Lei Film has no good solution for those elderly people. They just want to return to their hometown and die there before they die. What can you do?

"What about Kaigi Island?"

"I issued a transfer order, requesting that Kaigi Island send troops to fight against the monsters together. The present-day human god priestess agreed. In return, the shogunate will increase material assistance to Kaigi Island."

"Is that so? That's good. It seems that after this, the relationship between Umijima and the shogunate can be eased a little bit."

"I hope so. I will instruct the shogunate army to help the soldiers of Umijima as much as possible during the battle."

"Ha, I believe that at this moment, Coral Palace Xinhai is also saying the same thing to her soldiers."

Lei Movie and Coral Palace Xinhai have the same idea.

Umijima and the Inazuma Shogunate must be at peace.

Only in this way can the people on both sides have a chance to live a good life.

For Coral Palace Xinhai, this transfer order from the shogunate is also an opportunity to promote reconciliation between the two sides.

Presumably, under the orders of the two supreme leaders,

By then, there will be a scene of 'harmony and friendship' on the battlefield.

When the war is over, whether the soldiers like it or not, both sides will become comrades-in-arms.

but……

"However, you still have to pay attention to the warmongering faction in the shogunate. Not everyone desires peace."

Wang Daoyi opened his mouth and reminded.

Lei Dianying nodded slightly: "I know this. Everything the Inazuma warriors have comes from me. The desire for victory flows through every vein in their bodies. It is wrong to forcibly suppress their desire for victory. I will bring some of the militant factions to the front line."

After a pause, a hint of purple flashed in Lei Yingdian's eyes: "As for those who want to provoke a war between the shogunate and Kaigi Island again, they will not have a good end."

Lei's movie won't end well.

Perhaps it is a price worse than death.

"If that's the case, that's great." Wang Daoyi also smiled.

Since it has promoted the cooperation between Inazuma and Sumi, and it is a win-win cooperation,

Having a stable wife is the best thing for Xumi.

Through the cooperation between the two sides, various specialties from Inazuma can also be steadily transported to Xumi and into the desert.

Various specialty products produced in the desert can also enter the Inazuma market through cooperation channels.

Only when the political situation remains stable can the economy flow and the market prosper.

"It's still early, how about we play a few games of chess?"

"I can't ask for it."

Two gods play chess in the castle tower.

And on the other side,

In the embassy on the outlying islands,

The game between Nafis and Kamisato Ayato was also going on.

"No matter what, Ambassador Nafis, no matter what, Inazuma will not only import food from Xumi. The final bottom line I can give is that Inazuma will give priority to purchasing food from Xumi if the price is the same."

As Inazuma’s biggest problem, the lack of good farmland is an unavoidable pain for Inazuma people.

Compared with the vast plains in Mondstadt that were blown out by the God of Wind, there is Qingce Manor developed by generations in Liyue, and the rich resources of the Xumi Rainforest.

Inazuma is really miserable. Only the main island of Inazuma has arable land. The other islands are either deserted or affected by disasters. Not to mention Kaigi Island, which still needs to supplement its own food by fishing.

If we want to free our people from tedious agricultural production, the food problem must be solved.

In Inazuma's current situation, no matter how they grow crops, they can never meet the needs of their own people. So it would be better to ensure a minimum amount of arable land, then transform agriculture into handicrafts, and start importing food.

"Okay, then let's write priority into the regulations. Then we can talk about the tariff issue. The tariff on food should be reduced!"

At this time, Nafis did not look like the high and mighty sage in the House of Decrees at all, but rather like a merchant hanging out on Treasure Street.

He spent a lot of time arguing with Kamisato Ayato for a little bit of "petty profit".

However, many scholars and social workers around the two thought it was normal.

After all, it is a state-to-state transaction. Even a tax of one ten-thousandth of a percentage point will be increased to a huge number in a huge transaction.

If we save some tariffs here, maybe there will be funds within the Council of Foreign Religions to support the research of a few more scholars.

"Tariffs on grain can be exempted within the scope of the shogunate's purchases, but I hope to increase tariffs on other high-level alchemical tools and luxury goods."

Kamisato Ayato nodded to Nafis, and was not only willing to reduce tariffs on food, but even willing to waive them directly.

However, the range given is the purchasing range of the shogunate, that is to say, if Sumire wants to dump grain on Inazuma and sell it to the private sector, the shogunate will still impose high taxes.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayato also imposed high tax restrictions on high-tech products that the Institute of Religious Affairs was best at, as well as luxury goods that the common people of Inazuma did not need.

It’s not that Inazuma doesn’t want those advanced alchemical products, but mainly because they are too destructive to Inazuma’s handicrafts. Think about it, a country that can build Gundams, exporting high-tech to an agricultural country, it won’t take long before it can directly destroy the social structure of this agricultural country.

As for luxury goods, it's the same. They are things that are of no benefit to the country and are generally only liked by dignitaries. It is normal to impose high taxes on them.

Tax exemption for luxury goods is the most stupid thing to do.

Nafis did not refute Kamisato Ayato's statement: "We will also restrict high-level alchemical tools. Only Inazuma people with permission from the Inazuma shogunate will be allowed to purchase them. As for luxury goods, it doesn't matter."

In the eyes of scholars, high-tech products that cannot be produced on assembly lines are the real luxury goods.

As for those decorative luxuries as the common people call them, scholars do not look down upon them.

Scholars will only pay attention to something unless it is an antique or a social product with research value.

"Thank you for your generosity and friendship, thank you very much." Kamisato Ayato thanked Nafis again.

Nafis said that only the Inazuma shogunate is allowed to purchase, which will give the Inazuma shogunate a lot of say.

"Don't be so quick to thank me. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is open to external commercial exchanges. Our products are not only sold to Inazuma, but also to Liyue, Mondstadt, and Fontaine. If anyone in Inazuma smuggles, we will not be responsible."

Smuggling, in the exchanges between countries, smuggling activities among the people are bound to occur.
