Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"Are these big iron barrels the furnaces that you mentioned that produce 10 tons of steel a day?" Ningguang ignored the last sentence and just clenched her hands behind her back.

"We can't do it yet, but the combined annual output of these four plants is 200 million tons. We have produced a lot of new steel, and we can achieve that by building a bigger one and a few more in the future."

“How can I get this technology?”

"You don't want the physical object, but the technology? You are indeed better than I thought. You and I are already in the same boat, so I will not hide these technologies from you.

But can you ensure that the technology will not be leaked? This is Liyue's core technology for the next few decades. My batch of blacksmiths are all under lifetime contracts and will not leak. Miners and guards have confidentiality contracts of more than 50 years.

It used to be 30 years, but later they came up with all kinds of alloys, so I extended the contract. Those who are unwilling to sign this kind of confidentiality contract are all undercover agents, and I have already let Forber turn into Gin to deal with them.

Maybe you think I'm making a big deal out of nothing? Then let me ask you, can you get the Fontaine's recording machine technology and the clockwork mechanism technology? The Winter Kingdom's evil eye technology and elemental armor technology? You can only get the finished product, but not the manufacturing technology.

This is the importance of keeping technology confidential. Even if someone knows the general process, how many years will it take to develop the technology from scratch? If the core technology is known to others, the consequences will be very serious.

For example: spring. This is one of the core technologies that Fontaine has already applied to pocket watches. In the past, we couldn’t make springs. Without springs, it couldn’t be driven, and imitations would be waste.

Now that we in Liyue can also produce springs, how long do you think it will take to imitate them? Our springs can still be shipped in large quantities. If we sell these pocket watches cheaply, what kind of impact do you think it will have on the pocket watch industry in Fontaine?"

Ningguang looked at Lin Zixuan as if he were a madman. Why was this man so crazy? He would destroy other people's businesses at every turn. First he wanted to destroy Liyue's blacksmith shop business, and then he wanted to destroy Fontaine's pocket watch business.

Crescent Moon Pavilion.

"Emperor, this incident is very serious and requires you to come forward to deal with it." Lin Zixuan brewed a cup of Kung Fu tea for Zhongli.

"Have you discovered anything new?" Zhongli said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Liyue's money is gone!"

"???"

"Emperor, you rarely spend money, so you may not have paid much attention to it. Mora was created by you using your power and a small amount of divine power. You can even say that it is your flesh and blood.

If it's a small amount, you may not be able to sense it at a distance, but if it's a large amount, you should be able to sense it. This time, take some time to carefully sense the number of Mora distributed in the Teyvat continent?"

"Distribution quantity, let me see... hm?"

“Emperor, you have also discovered it, right? You should be able to sense that there is a huge amount of Mora that is not in Liyue, right? Apart from the Mora that is in normal circulation and the Mora in the Golden Pavilion, the amount of Mora in the Kingdom of Winter is at least ten times that of Liyue.”

"Indeed, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that this was the case. There are more Mora in the Kingdom of Winter than in Liyue.

This shouldn't be the case! Liyue is the production base of Mora, and it is also the largest port in Teyvat, where wealth is accumulated. How could there be so much less Mora than the Kingdom of Winter?"

“Because the Northland Bank is plundering the wealth of the entire Teyvat!

Emperor, there shouldn't have been a secret war like "financial war" on the continent of Teyvat, right? Now the Northland Bank is challenging Liyue's "coinage rights".

'Dripping water wears away a rock'! This slow change makes it impossible for you to see the problem. Once the rock is worn away, it will be too late to save it.

Three banks in Liyue Harbor have closed down, and the remaining five are struggling to survive. They are all being crushed by the Bank of the North. What will happen if all these banks go bankrupt?

All the money of the merchants and civilians in Liyue will be deposited into the North Country Bank. Even the Seven Stars will be persuaded to deposit the money in the national treasury!

If at this time, the Northland Bank said that it would suspend operations for three months due to business adjustments, or froze Liyue's money for some reason, do you think the entire Liyue would come to a standstill?

This bomb will explode in the near future. It is useless for Liyue to have the right to mint coins, because all the Mora minted will go into the Bank of the North, and eventually outsiders will control Liyue's economy.

Even if Seven Stars wanted to set up a new bank, would the Northland Bank just sit there and do nothing?

Ah! I am getting off topic. This is not what I want to talk about. Emperor, how many years have you not taken action? "

"It has been more than a thousand years. Since the Demon God in the Sea was sealed, he has not made a move in public."

"No wonder they are so bold. It's been too long. You basically only show up once a year. Has your great power become a legend?

Plus, they were blinded by greed, and at first it was just a little bit, but gradually accumulated, and when they saw that you didn't notice, they became even bolder. Or in other words, those who dared to speak out have already reported to the underworld."

“Is it corruption?”

“Yes, it’s very serious, so serious that if they investigate, they will definitely try every means to assassinate anyone who dares to investigate, even including the Emperor.

Because you have been inactive for so long, their knowledge of your power is limited to legends and they have no clear understanding of it.

The immortals have all stayed away from Liyue Harbor, and the descendants of the immortals have been very restrained in Liyue Harbor. They have not used any power to move mountains and seas over the years.

They probably thought that the Emperor's power was just a little bit stronger than those adventurers who performed acrobatics like the owners of the Transformation God's Eye! The kind that could be killed at any time by sheer numbers. The legend of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion was just a gilded image of the Emperor.

This trend gradually evolved over time, making them more and more arrogant. Ningguang and I calculated that nearly 80% of the tax revenue from Liyue Harbor last year was embezzled in various ways.

In other words, the actual expenditure, the tax revenue for Liyue Harbor... is only 20%, minus the normal official expenses and the military expenses of the Qianyan Army. The money spent on the construction of Liyue Harbor... is less than half.

This has also led to the fact that Liyue Harbor has hardly changed in the past few decades. It's not that it can't change, but Liyue Harbor has no money to change! The money is gone! The Liyue you protect has been secretly eaten away by these termites!"

"Bang..." The dining table was broken into pieces. (Ah! My heart aches. This table is very expensive. I will have to pay for it later!)

"How dare they do this!" Zhongli's body began to gather rock elemental power beyond cognition. (This sense of oppression was probably felt by most of the immortals and descendants of immortals in Liyue.)

"Emperor, don't be impulsive! Calm down!" Lin Zixuan was pressed to the ground by the sudden pressure. He struggled to mobilize his physical and elemental strength, squeezed out a few words, and stopped Zhongli from demolishing the house.

Fortunately, the Emperor was a very calm person. The elemental power slowly dissipated, and seeing that Zhongli had calmed down, he quickly called the shopkeeper of Xinyuexuan to come up, changed the room, and brewed tea again.

"Emperor, when I first came to Liyue, I found it really backward. I thought it was due to the underdeveloped land and shipping transportation. But now that I have found out where these taxes go, I really understand that the upper class of Liyue is rotten to the core.

If I hadn't pulled Ningguang into our camp early, she would have been assimilated in a few years. Those who couldn't be assimilated would probably have died in various despicable ways. For example, Ningguang took too much Wushisan and died of poisoning.

This kind of thing has been going on for hundreds of years, affecting tens of thousands of people. There are still a lot of problems with how to deal with it. Most of the fake account books have been replaced.

The biggest problem is: Liyue's money has been transferred away! The money from corruption is all in the Northland Bank, which is not under the jurisdiction of Liyue. The physical Mora has been sent to the Kingdom of Winter, so how to get it back is the big problem.

And the key is how far we need to go. Either we suppress it directly and forcefully, or we plan slowly and carefully. "

Zhongli had calmed down and returned to his normal self, drinking his tea slowly.

"Which method do you think is appropriate?"

"Personally, I would prefer to suppress it forcefully. Liyue's economy is currently in recession, and the number of things that need to be handled by the General Affairs Department has been reduced by more than half. If a group of people are dealt with at this time, it won't be a big problem if the General Affairs Department is short of manpower.

After suppressing these people forcefully, and then establishing some tougher laws, we can basically guarantee hundreds of years of stability. Because our foundation is the people of Liyue, not these already fat and juicy parasites.

If we adopt a slow planning approach, we don’t know how many years it will take. We will have to face the situation of having to keep these people to do things in the future.

This gives these people hope. Even if there is corruption, so what? You can't kill me anyway. Besides, I have already transported the money out. The money is mine.

Nine years later, the emperor will give up power and the era of rule by man will begin. This trend of embezzling national taxes will only repeat again and again.

The final decision is yours. To be honest, this is 80% of the tax revenue of Liyue Harbor. I have never seen such a ruthless person when I was on Blue Star. "

"I'll think about it... Come find me at the Hall of the Rebirth later!"

Chapter 23 The plan is about to start

Coming out of Xinyue Pavilion, Lin Zixuan looked at his flattened wallet. The maintenance fee for the rooms in Xinyue Pavilion was really expensive. Let Zhongli go to Wanmin Hall next time! If he comes a few more times, his wallet will not be able to support it.

The money from the iron ingot mine has been given to Ningguang to manage. It is better to let her do it than to keep it in the warehouse. Mingyun Town is still an expense item and has not made a profit yet. If you spend money recklessly, Uncle Fu will become Tang Monk chanting the tight hoop curse.

Zhongli said he would go find him again after a while, but I'm afraid he won't be there until October, and he's probably going to negotiate with the Kingdom of Winter. I don't know how the Emperor will deal with it. If we can get rid of the termites this time, it should give Liyue Harbor enough money to develop!

How strong is the Emperor's power? Lin Zixuan looked at the people coming and going on the streets of Liyue. These people had heard a lot of legends, but had never seen the power of God. They thought these legends were just exaggerations made by the ancients.

However, as an outsider, he also possessed the body of an immortal. After a year of training, when he saw Zhongli again, he realized how desperate the enemy was facing the Emperor.

From a beginner with only 100 points of elemental power, relying on the rapid growth of the immortal body, he has accumulated nearly 10000 points of elemental power in his body, a full increase of 100 times.

The reason why he has so much elemental power is probably because of the specialness of his ancestors. After a hundred generations, people have been trying to open the immortal bloodline. It is normal that he is stronger than ordinary immortal descendants after opening it. This is probably because the blue bar is infinite, but the actual combat power is very weak.

The internal elemental power of the 'transformation' stage is basically within 100 points. The general 'combination' stage is about 200 points. The higher you go, the harder it is to improve. The road to becoming an immortal or a god is not so easy.

When you reach the peak of the "combination" stage, you will have nearly 1000 points. Surviving the heavenly tribulation and becoming an immortal, forming an immortal body, is already a qualitative change, and the elemental force in the body starts at at least points. As for the gods...

When I faced Zhongli, the elements in my body, which were originally very active, suddenly became quiet. This feeling was really uncomfortable. It might be because of the new Dharmakaya, which had not been fully controlled to prevent the elemental power from leaking.

Although the elemental force in his body can still be mobilized, it is not as smooth as usual. This is just Zhongli in normal state. If it was Zhongli in combat state, he would be pressed to the ground just by standing by because of the momentary anger just now, and it would be difficult for him to even mobilize the elemental force to support himself.

The video recorder has already appeared, so the video recorder will not be far behind. People always judge certain things based on their own knowledge. For example, if there were no videos or pictures to show this power, but only the ancients were told about it, then the picture in the minds of the ancients would probably be: this hydrogen bomb is only slightly more powerful than fireworks.

The legend of Guyun Pavilion is only recorded on paper, without any pictures or videos. Except for a few descendants of immortals, most ordinary people would think that the emperor is just flattering himself!

The incident of Yuso Lawrence in Mond last year did not alert them. The empty shell of the eighth Eye of God was found, and it was found in front of Namiya's grave, and Mond officially announced his death.

This extreme burst of the power of the Eye of God still made these termites have no repentance or fear. I guess they think the Emperor is only this level! As long as they unite, even God can be killed.

If you want to show the power of God, there are both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can enhance the cohesion of a country and increase the confidence of its citizens.

The downside is that there will be a bunch of people who want great power. When they fail to obtain it, their mentality will begin to become distorted, and they will eventually become lunatics who destroy Liyue. Coupled with the temptation of the evil eye, people will go astray.

Lin Zixuan looked at the Qun Yu Pavilion in the sky again. He was not a management talent, so let her worry about the follow-up impact!

If you want to do something useful for Liyue, you have to move forward courageously. If you keep hesitating and worrying about problems here and there, you will end up accomplishing nothing.

Mingyun Town Office Building.

"I finally caught you, Uncle Fu. Bring it here!" Lin Zixuan used Wood Release to seal all the exits. Ever since that day when his dark history was recorded, Uncle Fu could never be found.

"Young Master, is that person Ningguang from Tianquan Star?" Seeing that the exit was blocked, Uncle Fu had no choice but to hand over the photos in the drawer.

"Yeah! You won't make it known to everyone, will you?"

"No, I went to Liyue Harbor a few days ago to ask which family the girl was from. I wanted to check her birth date. But no one knew her. Then I went to the Adventurer's Guild to ask and found out that it was Lady Ningguang. Apart from us in Mingyun Town, not many people know about the photo."

"That's good. Haven't you seen Ningguang before?"

"I used to follow my old master around, and this is the first time I've seen her. Is she the young lady?"

"No. You haven't seen the other seven stars either, have you? Each of these seven stars is more mysterious than the other. Ningguang and I are just partners. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What is the current situation in Mingyun Town?"

"The cement is running out of room. Fourteen of the Ruins Guard mining machines have been damaged. Recently, the blacksmiths have been working on a new formula for iron ingots. But there has been no results. One blacksmith said he thought of a way to make steel balls, but he hasn't figured it out yet."

"Well, many things can't be rushed. Uncle Fu, go to a few nearby towns to recruit some people and let our group of road paving workers guide them. These newcomers only need to know how to use tools to pave the road.

I will go to the Wangshu Inn and use the Wood Release Technique to build a few warehouses and transport the cement there first. I will then ask Ningguang to arrange for the Qianyan Army to look after it."

Qunyu Pavilion.

After entering the door, I saw Ningguang taking a nap on a recliner from a distance. Her luxurious clothes and her figure made people imagine a lot.

Bai Xiao beside him said softly, "Lord Ningguang just finished reviewing official documents and is taking a break."

"Then go prepare tea and sit at the guest table next to me. And bring over a few biography books." Lin Zixuan also felt that he had come at a wrong time and could only wait.

If you were on Blue Star, and you had just finished your work and were lying down to rest, and your boss called you and added a new task to you, asking you to continue working, I believe many people would explode right there.

About an hour later, Ningguang sat up. She had just woken up, her hair was a little messy, and she was not yet fully conscious. She scratched here and there. She was about to call her secretary when she suddenly saw someone at the guest table. Her eyes widened, and she immediately created an opaque Xuanji screen in front of the guest table.

When the Xuanji screen faded away, Ningguang was no longer in the study. Lin Zixuan slowly drank a sip of tea like Zhongli did. I guess only the three lazy secretaries had seen Ningguang in this posture.

After a while, Ningguang reappeared with her appearance in order. As if she had forgotten what had just happened, she asked, "What brings you to the Qun Yu Pavilion this time?"

"I have built a few large wooden warehouses at Wangshu Inn. Please mobilize a team of Qianyan soldiers to look after them. The cement used for the road construction is stored in them. I don't have enough people to spare any effort."

"That's it?"

"Of course not. I plan to demonstrate my divine power to shock some people and increase the sense of belonging of the people of Liyue. Ningguang, how powerful do you think the Emperor is? Are those legends true?"

"What is a display of divine power? As for the Emperor, I've seen him in dragon form before, but he didn't seem very strong and didn't feel oppressive. As for the legends about him, they may be true, but there should also be a lot of exaggeration."

"Really? Even you think so!" Lin Zixuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"It's been so long since these true events became legends. In addition, the Emperor has not taken action again, so the people of Liyue have become more aware of the Emperor. Ningguang, what do you think of my strength?"

"It's just so-so, probably just a 'transformation' level! Weaker than me." Ningguang sensed the elemental force.

"So, what now?" Lin Zixuan stood up and snapped his fingers, releasing his self-developed "breath-retaining technique". In fact, it was a kind of sealing technique. When he had 10 times more elemental power than Uncle Fu, he scared Uncle Fu.

Suddenly, the Jade Pavilion seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and began to tilt and fall down, but soon regained its balance, stopped falling, and returned to its normal height.

In just 5 seconds, Ningguang's entire body was shaking and sweating.

"This is one billionth of the strength of the Rock King. What do you think? What do you think of the legend of the Rock King now?"

"Is everything written in those books true?"

"It's true. This divine power display plan can actually be called a military exercise. It has both advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how to guide the masses. Let's discuss it together.

There is still more than a week left before the end of the month. You should arrange the Qianyan Army to prepare for evacuation. On that day, there will be an earthquake, a very serious earthquake, which will last for about 3-6 hours.

First of all, we need to do a good job of publicity.

The general meaning is: Ningguang felt that only developing sea transportation made land transportation too weak. Many goods in Liyue had to climb over the mountain at the door, which took too long. Ningguang went through a lot of hardships to find the Emperor, who agreed to carry out the demolition and arranged his weakest soldiers to carry out the demolition work. The benefit of demolishing this mountain is...

You can polish the article later, highlighting the key role you played and the benefits of the demolition. Then send some secret agents to assist in the publicity.

Then comes the aftermath.

All people in Liyue Harbor and its surrounding areas were asked to pack up their belongings in the next few days, especially those old houses. Several squares in Liyue Harbor were set up as diversion areas, as well as Yujing Terrace. Liyue's ships can also be diverted in batches, but be careful not to overload them.
