Ying and Paimon arrived at Liyue's base and prepared to board the plane accompanied by Beidou.
On the way to boarding the plane, I saw dozens of Qianyan soldiers guarding a barrier. The barrier was placed on a cart and was slowly entering the warehouse at the rear of the plane.
Inside the barrier are five horns, which are tightly bound by trees, like a seal.
"Beidou, what is that thing? Why does it look so important?" Paimon asked.
"This seems to be something from the golden king beast, right?" Ying next to him spoke for the first time.
"Yes, the horn left behind by the Golden King Beast is named 'Beast Realm King Weapon'. Master Xuan has checked it out and found that the existence of this horn is very problematic. It can even exercise certain powers. For example, it can command those Beast Realm hounds and dissolve space." Beidou replied.
"Command the beast hounds? Dissolve space? Isn't that a very powerful ability?"
"Because we don't know how much damage this ability will cause to the pure land of Teyvat, a series of research is needed. If it is not handled properly and falls into the hands of some people, it will cause a very serious tragedy, so we have to pay attention to it."
"It's better to destroy it on the spot. If we hide it, it will be discovered one day." Paimon put his hands on his hips.
"According to Master Xuan, if someone controls 1000 million beast hounds to attack Liyue Harbor one day, even if Liyue can win, it will only be a miserable victory. But if Liyue has an item that can disrupt the control, it will be much easier to solve."
"So Liyue wants to find a way to restrain them? I heard that Albedo has developed a tool that can temporarily confine space, but unfortunately, before he could try it out, the two golden beasts were killed by you."
"At that time, the entire Liyue army was furious and did not give him time to try it out. We can try this third golden king beast. If it can really confine space for a short period of time, then its greatest support will be wasted."
"I heard last night that Liyue no longer uses tanks and planes for bombing? They can only try to use combat personnel to fight on foot. This should be just an excuse, right? I think the Thousand Rocks Army will perform relatively weakly by then?" Ying felt very confused when he thought of the intelligence that came out last night.
"As expected of the Traveler Ying, this is Nanahoshi's decision. Properly saving some face for Inazuma will be more beneficial to the relationship between the two countries."
"With the bad guy's means of making money and his strength, there would be no problem in ending this war today. But he chose to slow down the pace of attack. There must be something wrong." Paimon held his chin and thought.
"There are too many complicated interests involved. As long as the general direction is right, the process can be delayed a little."
"??? Is it possible?"
"Why don't you think about what the consequences would be if Master Xuan solved all the problems of Heguan at once?"
"That must be because the ronin of Inazuma were recruited, Tsuru-kan flourished, a large amount of medicinal herbs were sold, and everyone made a fortune." Paimon replied.
"But there will be a group of people who will hate Master Xuan extremely. Those who could have been awarded military merits will no longer have them. A fat man who has never been on the battlefield will firmly hold the position of commander. A staff officer who can only be clever will squeeze out the genius staff officer."
"You mean... the Thousand Rock Army?"
"Well, the military's promotion channels cannot be cut off. If Master Xuan solves it directly, then it will definitely cut off the promotion of many people. This is also a major reshuffle within the Qianyan Army.
It is not just talk that the incompetent generals and commanders exhausted the army. The frustrating battle five hundred years ago must not be repeated again. "
"Five hundred years ago? Did something happen?"
"You will find out soon. After all, the person who is here to greet you is Liyue's special intelligence officer."
"Special intelligence officer?" Paimon showed a frightened expression.
"Don't worry, she just wants you to help investigate some secrets. After that..."
"Murder to silence the witness!!!" Paimon interrupted.
"It's to gain her trust."
"Huh... I thought I would die after knowing the secret." Paimon let out a long breath.
"Let's go back to Liyue."
Chapter 296: The Disaster of Human Rule
The Jade Pavilion in Liyue Harbor.
The Seven Stars and their deputies gathered in a meeting room waiting for someone to arrive.
"Uncle Tian, what do you think that person wanted to call us here for? We've been very busy with these civil engineering projects and house acceptance inspections recently." Keqing asked Tianshuxing who was standing beside her.
"I can probably guess what happened this time. He mentioned it last year."
"Last year? Um...did anything important happen?"
"It's about Liyue... no... it should be said that it's a major event concerning the entire Teyvat. Let's wait for him to talk about it later. But I heard a while ago that all six secretaries around you were so tired that they had to be hospitalized for recuperation?"
"Uh...even you know about it!"
"With the expansion of Liyue Harbor, it is almost four times larger than before. There are too many things to deal with in the entire Liyue Harbor. Some things can be delayed appropriately."
"Adequate delay? Let me think about it."
"The previous bid-rigging and engineering incidents happened because you work too efficiently." Uncle Tian sighed.
"Is it the incident of rigging for bids for shoddy construction projects?" Ganyu, who was sitting on the other side of Uncle Tian, also started chatting about it.
“Well, three small businesses used low prices to bid for the project, and the supervisor was bribed. They used low-quality cement to pave the road and mixed it with cheap equipment purchased from Fontaine.
The small areas at the starting and end of the road were paved with cement that met the requirements, but the large section in the middle was made entirely of inferior cement.
In the end, the road became full of potholes in less than two months, and a large piece of cement could be scraped off with a finger. Such a road should not even receive the mid-term payment.
But because you were so efficient, the acceptance of the project was completed very quickly. Yue Haiting transferred the interim payment and the acceptance payment directly. The other party simply didn't want the remaining 20% of the settlement payment and ran away with the money.
If the acceptance documents were delayed for three to five months or more than half a year, there would definitely be problems with the road and the final result would be different.
It can be said that the work efficiency is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, and it is amazing that they can come up with such a plan. "Uncle Tian stroked his beard.
“We at Yue Haiting have re-estimated the expenses of this incident.
The 33-kilometer journey cost 20 billion Mora in total. Even though they didn't get the final 26.4% of the settlement, the General Affairs Department paid 10 billion Mora. After recalculating the cost based on the road conditions, it was only worth about billion Mora.
That is to say, about 16 billion Mora has been embezzled, and coupled with the unpaid taxes, their profits exceeded 50%, which is enough for them to take risks.
If people didn’t know how efficient you were at work, they might have thought you were an accomplice.”
Keqing's face darkened. This was one of the few stains on her political achievements. Her efficient work efficiency was taken advantage of by a group of villains.
“Okay, okay, it’s a good thing to have such efficiency, not to mention that it’s in accordance with the law. I have recently revised the laws on bidding and acceptance and plugged these loopholes. Such incidents should not happen again.” Ningguang stepped in in time to relieve Keqing of some embarrassment.
The door of the conference room was opened, and Lin Zixuan walked in pushing a small cart. Mora of various denominations were neatly stacked on the cart, leaving some people puzzled. Only Uncle Tian stroked his beard, as if confirming something.
"Sorry for being late. It took some time to find these things." Lin Zixuan pointed at Mora on the cart.
"Isn't this just an ordinary Mora? Did he make too much money and plan to share it with us?" A member of the Eighth Gate muttered in a low voice.
"You can take a look at these Moras and see if there are any differences between them and the ones you have. If you find anything unusual, don't tell anyone yet."
Lin Zixuan just waved his hand, and the Mora on the cart scattered and fell on the tables of these big guys.
Uncle Tian looked at the Mora of various denominations in front of him, took out his purse from his arms, and compared them carefully. Mora of large denominations did not necessarily have to be carried with him, but small denominations were still carried.
Master Xuan would not shoot without a purpose, there must be some differences, and everyone began to try to distinguish them. Some asked the secretary to borrow a scale, some borrowed a cup, some borrowed a magnifying glass...
a long time.
Most people were scratching their heads, and some noticed something was wrong. Ganyu clenched her fists, showing a rare look of anger.
"I can't find the difference, and I didn't find anything wrong. But seeing Ganyu's appearance, this is probably a major event that hasn't happened in a thousand years: fake Mora." A man from the Eight Gates held two Moras in trembling hands.
"Fake Mora!!!" The people in the conference room were stunned, and then took a breath of cold air.
“It seems that you have already got the result. These Moras in front of you are all fake.
Mora's patterns, the sound of knocking, special color, and its role as a catalyst make Mora impossible to imitate.
I looked up the books of the General Affairs Department, and the best they have done over the past thousand years is just to imitate a pattern. Ordinary people can tell the real thing from the fake by tapping it with their fingernails, not to mention the special color that Mora exudes.
These Mora on the table are different. Ordinary people can't tell them apart at all. The patterns, knocking sounds, and colors are exactly the same as the real Mora.
Only when one's strength reaches the middle stage of the transformation stage can one detect the subtle difference. This has led to the crazy spread of these fake Moras on the continent of Teyvat. "Lin Zixuan said seriously.
"Bang!" The table in front of Ganyu was smashed into pieces again. "It's really hateful!"
"What should we do? Ordinary people can't tell the difference. Should we arrange a mid-stage God's Eye owner to count the money?"
"This trade fair has such a huge transaction volume... Could it be that..."
The people in the conference room gasped again. If someone took advantage of the trade fair to make large transactions and used fake Mora to buy things like crazy, the entire financial system of Teyvat would collapse. And the worst hit would definitely be Liyue.
A large number of fake Moras were used to exchange for a large number of valuable goods in Liyue. When these fake Moras were paid by the merchants, they would spread further.
What will be the consequences if people are instigated by people with ulterior motives and find out that most of the Moras in their hands are fake?
Although it was the cool autumn day of October, everyone in the conference room was sweating.
It can be said that this is the first major disaster since the abdication of Emperor Yanwang and the implementation of human rule.
"Master Xuan, what exactly is that subtle difference? I don't have the divine eye, so I can't feel it." Someone asked.
"These fake Moras are missing a very important thing, that is, the divine power of the Rock King. All the Moras produced in the Golden House in the past were produced under the divine power of the Rock King.
Each Mora carries a trace of the power of the Rock King. In this way, he guarantees all the sweat, wisdom and future of mankind. Therefore, there is a saying that all the silver and money circulating on the continent are the flesh and blood of the Rock King.
The Rock King has returned to the sky, which means that no new Mora with the Rock King's power will be born. I think you should know the function of the Rock King's power, which is to be used as a magic catalyst.
If ordinary people want to know whether Mora is real or fake, they have to put Mora into the synthesis table to distinguish the real from the fake. There are not many people in Liyue who can play with alchemy props such as the synthesis table.
If it is real Mora, then the Mora thrown in will disappear directly as a magic catalyst, and only the fake one can remain the same. I don't think any ordinary person would do such a stupid thing to distinguish the real from the fake and make the real one disappear directly, right?"
"What should we do? Ordinary people can't tell the difference between true and false. Once it spreads completely, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Can't we just turn a blind eye and use it as the real Mora? After all, ordinary people can't tell the difference."
"I'll take a piece of waste paper with 1 trillion written on it and exchange it for your ancestral home. Are you willing?"
"But this is Mora, it's not waste paper!"
"If it can't be used as a magic catalyst, what's the difference between it and waste paper? If the ironworks print hundreds of millions of steel coins, it can still be worth some money. What can this fake Mora rock creation do?"
"I think it will soon become like before: money will be worthless. The consequence of this massive printing of fake Mora is that a bowl of noodles will cost 100 million Mora, and the price of goods in Teyvat will collapse."
......
There are more and more discussions in the conference room, some are for, some are against, and some are indifferent...
"Master Xuan, if my guess is correct, the culprit behind this fake Mora incident should be the Kingdom of Zhidong, right?" Uncle Tian looked at Lin Zixuan.
"That's right. Last year they broke into the Golden Pavilion and stole the steps to make Mora. We have already lost the most important tool to make Mora, so we can't make Mora anymore. But they can use that tool to make Mora."
"It's already been lost? So can't it be brought back now?"
"We can't do anything about it. This item was traded by Rock King Emperor under some kind of contract during his lifetime. We have lost the ownership of this item."
"This..." Uncle Tian couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. This was not good news.
Lin Zixuan clapped his hands, quieting the entire conference room.
"The Rock King once said: 'Mora is naturally a currency, and currency is not naturally a Mora.'
The function of Mora is that it is a commodity that represents the value of all other commodities, which is the so-called general equivalent.
When the commodity Mora can no longer reflect and measure the value of all other commodities, it proves that the Mora system is on the verge of collapse.
Not to mention that the initiative is not in our hands, which will make us very passive, and this passivity will lead us into an endless secret war.
The only way to avoid this kind of trouble is to take another path.
This path is: launch a new currency! This new currency will be linked to the credit and strength of the entire country of Liyue."
"!!!New currency?" Everyone was surprised.
Lin Zixuan waved his hand again, and the second layer of the box on the cart opened automatically, and exquisite banknotes flew in front of everyone.
"This is Liyue's new currency: Liyuan. 1 Liyuan is equal to 100 True Mora."
Chapter 297 The Disaster of Human Rule 2
"Li Yuan?"
Everyone took these exquisite glass yuan and looked at them. The glass yuan with a face value of 100 had an exquisite image of the immortal ancestor's transformation engraved on it. It was unknown what means were used to depict the feeling of shock and majesty.
The fifty-denomination notes all depict different immortals, while the twenty-denomination notes to the one-yuan note depict various people from Liyue.
Uncle Tian gently rubbed the glass in his hand. It felt very strange, not like ordinary paper. There was a white area on the left, and I didn't know what it was used for. There was also a silver-white metal line on the right, embedded in this thin paper, and I didn't know how it was done.
"Are these papers the new currency?" Uncle Tian held the glass elements in his hand and looked at Lin Zixuan.
“Rather than calling it paper, it’s more like a work of art made by Liyue using the most advanced technology available. The arrangement and combination of letters and numbers in the upper left corner ensures that each piece is unique.
Pick up the white area on the left and hold it up to the light to have a look."
"hiss......"
Everyone held up the glass yuan to the lights above their heads, and then changed a few more to look at. Different denominations had different images, and when they were placed on the table, they didn't notice the watermarks at all.
