Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

As long as the road is smoothed, countless goods will be shipped to Liyue Harbor. The precious medicinal herbs Qingxin and Liuli Bag may still be fresh when they are sent to Liyue, which is when the medicinal effect is the best. If they are picked and sent to Liyue Harbor after a delay of ten or twenty days, the medicinal effect may have been greatly reduced.

After the source code was opened, the treasure-hunting group looked at their days of sleeping in the open air every day but still unable to open a few treasure chests, and then watched others making a fortune by riding bicycles and doing transportation.

Either they would become bandits who would be eliminated by the Qianyan Army, or they would join this freight camp.

After walking around for a while, an hour later, Uncle Fu arranged for someone to inform him that it had been completed, and there were many blacksmiths watching at the entrance of the office building.

"Uncle Fu, try pushing this old-fashioned Liyue rickshaw for 50 meters."

"Let's try this new roller-bearing rickshaw."

"Oh, so relaxing. How could this happen?" Uncle Fu looked confused.

"This is just a roller bearing, and it's already so labor-saving. If you can really develop the technology to mass-produce steel balls and turn roller bearings into ball bearings, it will be even more labor-saving. And this technology will be applied to all walks of life, and it will be useful for tens of thousands of years in the future.

As the founders, your achievements will be recorded in the history books of Liyue. Try and compare yourself.

There are many blacksmiths who work in a muddle-headed way every day, but have not figured out how to increase production. It's not that you don't want to, but that you don't have the time or financial resources to do it.

Now you have a lot of time and materials to squander. After you see the blast furnace, bearings, and bicycles, will you still live in a muddle? Use your expertise and creative ideas to benefit Liyue. "Lin Zixuan kept feeding chicken soup to the blacksmiths who were watching.

"Uncle Fu, if our Ruins Guard mining machines use ball bearing technology, I think their operating time can be extended by at least one hour. The role of this small bearing is not that simple."

When Fu Bo heard that the Ruins Guard mining machine could run for another hour, his eyes immediately turned into Mora's.

"I understand, Master."

Chapter 21: Liyue is riddled with holes

Ningguang was very efficient and managed to get everything arranged by the General Affairs Department in just three days.

As soon as the order from the General Affairs Department was issued, everyone in Liyue Harbor was in an uproar.

Various news are spreading rapidly.

"What? From the end of September to December, the road at the main entrance of Liyue Harbor will be repaired and no one will be allowed to enter or leave. If you want to travel, please go through Lisha Suburbs, or take the free boat arranged by the General Affairs Department. Freight costs will be charged separately."

"Secret: Liyue is going to demolish a number of old houses along the street to build a road. They will be compensated with a new house, plus a certain amount of compensation!"

"Shocked! Tianquanxing owes a huge amount of foreign debt and has become the poorest people in Liyue!"

......

The General Affairs Department's decree caused a stir in the depressed Liyue Harbor, and the people were talking about it. This was the first time in thousands of years that the main entrance road to Liyue was closed, and it lasted for three months. It was said that the second half of the road from Wangshu Inn to Liyue Harbor was also closed.

Several big stone merchants used their connections to inquire about the situation, hoping that their bluestone slabs could be purchased by the General Affairs Department.

And in the Jade Pavilion in the sky.

Lin Zixuan looked at the hundreds of account books. The three lazy guys were desperately calculating their accounts with an abacus.

"This is only a part of it. I arranged people to secretly replace it. It must be returned quickly after the inspection, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is discovered!" Ningguang was also counting the accounts. No one knew how she developed this ability to count while talking without making mistakes.

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet. The data are very consistent. But I always feel that something is wrong! But looking at these data, I can't find anything wrong." Ningguang frowned and the abacus clattered.

Lin Zixuan walked over and flipped through it. He picked up another book and flipped through it. He picked up another book and read only a few pages before throwing it away.

Are these all fake accounts? Lin Zixuan didn't believe it and quickly flipped through the books one by one.

Actually... all of them are...

"Ningguang, Baiwen, Baishi, Baixiao, please stop. You have worked hard, there is no need to settle the accounts. Come and have a cup of tea first! Take a rest, I have something to tell you."

They stopped and looked at Lin Zixuan. "Be obedient, Ningguang, go get a few of your own account books. Just pick any of them."

Lin Zixuan made tea, poured a cup for the four of them, and then spoke.

"I used to think that with the protection of the Geo King, the high-ranking people in Liyue would still have some reservations. But I didn't expect that they would become so bold."

"Did you find something?"

"I found that Liyue has been in tatters for a long time. These people are sucking Liyue's blood. No wonder Liyue is so backward.

The center of the entire Teyvat continent, the world's port. With so much wealth, Liyue can't even afford to build a road. This is no ordinary borer.

Ningguang, take out your own account book. Count and see what percentage of numbers start with '1'? "

Ningguang immediately picked up her account books and took a look.

"At least 30%."

"Then you can randomly pick a few of the account books from the General Affairs Department and have a look."

"Uh, that's strange, less than 10%, or even none at all."

"Ningguang, you are very good at calculating accounts, but what if all the accounts you are given are specially processed and false?"

Lin Zixuan shook his head. This is a very famous 'Benford's Law' on Blue Star, which is often used in auditing accounts.

This law has often been broken in modern history, but in a place like Liyue, which is similar to the ancient Blue Planet, this law is still very useful for checking accounts.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, find a few more real accounts and check them again, and you will get the conclusion."

Ningguang looked serious. "I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

Ningguang was not around, so Lin Zixuan had no choice but to tease the three lazy secretaries. Unfortunately, they all gave him a bad look.

Soon, Ningguang came back with a bunch of account books. "I found some real account books and took a look. They basically match what you said, but I can't change them just based on this."

"Of course there is a second point, which is the price. You may have been so busy counting the money that you didn't pay attention to what you purchased. You have already discovered that there is a problem with the account book, and you should be able to find it out if you are given a little more time.

My uncle Fu said that he used to spend only 100 Mora on a bowl of noodles.

In other words, prices 40 years ago were very low.

Then take a look at this account book which is at least 40 years old and it says: Purchase noodles, unit price 5000 Mora per serving.

A serving of noodles is only the size of a palm. Now, if you go to Wanmintang to eat a larger bowl of noodles with meat, it only costs 1000 Mora. 40 years ago, it cost 5000 Mora to buy noodles, and 8000 servings were purchased.

Well, if you calculate based on the prices of goods at that time, even if the prices were increased by 30%, the unit price alone would be dozens of times different, and the missing tax would be an astronomical figure.

And this is last year's account book. My house was being renovated at that time, and a piece of top-quality wood only cost 20 Mora, and there were discounts for buying more.

The timber purchased by the General Affairs Department costs 90 Mora per piece. Where did the difference go? And there is more to it. The purchase price is hundreds of times higher than the market price. "

Ningguang and the three secretaries flipped through the account book. They felt dizzy and sweaty. This matter was too serious and it was not something they could solve.

"These parasites have embezzled Mora for so many years. It's impossible to calculate it with just these hundred accounts. It's very likely that they have enough funds to build 10,000 Qun Yu Pavilions!"

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the people who deposit money in the banks in Liyue are all ordinary people. The wealthy businessmen deposit their money in the Bank of the North.

Is it because Liyue Bank is not good?

Not really. Liyue Bank is managed by Liyue, which means we can check how much money certain people have. If there is a problem with the funds, we can freeze their assets.

The Northland Bank is a foreign bank and is not under the jurisdiction of Liyue. This means that these parasites have already completed the transfer of funds. Even if we catch them, we won't get a penny.

This means that Liyue has inadvertently completed its funding for the Kingdom of Winter. As long as Liyue does not go to the Northern Bank to withdraw money in large quantities, the Northern Bank can transport Liyue's money to the Kingdom of Winter and use Liyue's money to develop itself.

Therefore, after hundreds of years of free money from Liyue, the Kingdom of Winter now has the financial strength to develop various technologies. I believe you should have received a lot of information about the Kingdom of Winter. "

After hearing Lin Zixuan's words, the four of them turned pale. This problem was more serious than they thought.

"I believe these accountants are missing, right? Either in the Kingdom of Winter or in the underworld. Let's do what we can first and sort out the people involved and the Seven Stars.

We can also recalculate the prices at that time to see how much has been embezzled. We can also send in some copies and replace the originals. Be careful that they may become desperate and burn them down.”

"Do we really want to continue? I think we should stop now." Ningguang was full of worry. There were too many people involved, and they were all top-level people. There were also many familiar people among them.

"The Emperor has not moved for thousands of years. He has to move his body by prodding. In this situation, he has no choice but to do it. He is still in office, so he has an obligation to do this.

After nine years, he will retire and won't care about this matter anymore. This money that can help Liyue develop will be even less likely to be found.

Even if you can take over in the future, this account may be left unresolved, or even become involved in the scandal. "Lin Zixuan said calmly. Then he looked at Ningguang's flushed face. "This is human nature, there is no need to refute it. "

"By the way, come with me to Mingyun Town. There are some things you need to know in advance. I don't know anything about the business side of Liyue. From now on, I will only be responsible for opening up new sources of income, and you will be responsible for operations. Let's go!"

After reaching the outside of Mingyun Town through the teleportation anchor point, Ningguang saw a different scene.

The flat anchor square does not have any trace of stones. There is a wide bridge by the river, the same color as the square, and its characteristics are wide and flat.

"Is this the new path you mentioned?"

"You are also the owner of the Rock Elemental God's Eye, so you should be able to sense the hardness of this road."

Ningguang sensed it and said, "Indeed, it is comparable to rock."

"This kind of road is very cheap. It is made of common materials such as slag and limestone. If it is not pressed by heavy vehicles, it will last at least 30 years.

At present, no vehicle in Liyue should be able to cause damage to this cement road. I want to build a road that can accommodate four vehicles running side by side, leading directly to the Shimen border."

Ningguang's eyes lit up when she saw this solid material.

"Once the roads are built, it will be easier for everyone to circulate their goods. This is why if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

According to my calculations, if it takes 17 days at the fastest to travel from Shimen Border to Liyue Harbor by horse carriage, after this road is built, it can be shortened to 7 days or even shorter. If a new type of vehicle is developed, it can be reached in 1 day.

What do you think I can sell fresh loloberries from Mondstadt for if I deliver them to Liyue in one day? The market in Liyue will be much more diverse. The most important thing is that the railway will be able to transport at least 300 tons of materials at a time. "

Ningguang was shocked and blurted out: "This is impossible!"

"Yes, it was impossible before, but now I'm here. You've noticed it too." Lin Zixuan lifted Ningguang's chin.

"I am an outsider who should not exist. My thoughts, ideas, and actions are incompatible with yours. I originally did not intend to interfere with your future. You will still be the high and mighty Tianquan Star in the future, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."

"Click..." A sudden sound was heard.

"Uncle Fu, don't run!" Lin Zixuan immediately chased after him.

"Guards, help me stop the young master quickly. I got something good and will share it with you later." Uncle Fu shouted loudly while holding the camera.

Seeing the wall of people in front of him, Lin Zixuan had to stop. It was not worth it to destroy his own business for a little dark history.

Seeing that Uncle Fu had already run away, they had no choice but to take Ningguang into the core area of ​​Mingyun Town. The two were a little embarrassed, but one was simply thick-skinned and the other was of his own quality.

Chapter 22 The Emperor's Wrath

Taking Ningguang into the core area of ​​Mingyun Town, he saw the big commotion caused by the Ruins Guard mining machine from afar.

"You know I collected a lot of Ruin Guards last year. This is the Ruin Guard mining machine I modified. It looks a bit ugly, but its mining capacity exceeds that of 20 people working with pickaxes at the same time.

Although we can only work for three hours and rest for six hours, if we take turns, the 30 ordinary people here are equivalent to 600 miners mining at the same time, and they are tireless.

If you calculate how much it would cost to hire 600 workers in a year, you will understand why I chose this method.

Liyue didn't take this top technology of Kanreya seriously at all, which was also a kind of open source. The production, maintenance and use of this large-scale equipment required a lot of manpower. And not only Liyue, but also the other six countries had many of these Kanreya relics.

You should think of a way to collect as many of these treasures as possible, the most important thing is the core component. With this core component, you can make it into the shape you want. "Lin Zixuan pointed to the ruins guard mining machine that was working and introduced it to Ningguang.

Looking at Ningguang's bright eyes full of desire, it seems that what I said is still effective.

"The method of making this core has been lost. If you have relevant information, please help me look it up. In fact, even if you don't know how to make it, it is a very cost-effective thing to assemble these core parts and use them."

Lin Zixuan brought Ningguang to the front of the office building.

"Then there is this one for ordinary people: the first generation of bicycles. Although there are still many problems to be solved, it can only be said to be the cheapest and most practical of the countless means of transportation in the future.

Guard, come over here and take a ride, take a stroll, and show it off."

"It's amazing that two circles can stay on the ground."

Ningguang saw the guard riding a bicycle and quickly circling the square, and immediately became interested in this means of transportation.

"There are still many technical issues to be solved. Once they are solved, we will be the largest exporter of bicycles. The people of Liyue will also be able to use this simple and convenient tool. With two large bamboo baskets hung on the back of this thing, it can become a freight tool.

The main reason is the lack of talent in this area. These new things can only be developed by slowly cultivating talent over time.

Don't look at me like that. Can you explain why the frame of this bicycle has to be made into a triangle? A square one won't work? A round one won't work? Liyue has talents and geniuses, but they are not good at this. "

Lin Zixuan could only sigh that he had to lead a bunch of people behind him to run! Otherwise, if he rushed forward alone and the people behind him couldn't keep up, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Since I have acquired the immortal body, my memory has improved a lot. In the past, I only had a general understanding of the scientific and technological content in many books, but after repeated attempts, I can reproduce many things.

My role should be to break down certain key points, rather than participate in the whole process, unless that thing is very important.

After all, one is to build something by yourself in seclusion for three years, and the other is to organize several teams to conduct a certain research, and maybe they can solve the problem in three months.

A person's time and energy are limited. After returning, it is a place without elemental power. It is still questionable whether the immortal body can be used. Before returning, record the knowledge you have mastered into a book and give it to Ningguang or Emperor!

The current office building only has two floors and there is nothing much to see.

"In front is the tool for implementing this bubble plan: an iron-smelting blast furnace. Do you want it very much? It is the culprit that caused your current miserable situation." Lin Zixuan became playful and rubbed salt into Ningguang's wound.
