People rushed to the scene of the accident. Some of the clothes in the carriage were fine, not much damaged, but the alcohol was completely destroyed. A large number of chickens and cows died, and the survivors were barely breathing.

A middle-aged man with a black and gray face and wearing a railway uniform knelt on the ground, looking at the burning locomotive.

"My train! My train~~~ If I hadn't jumped off the train in time, I would have been dead. Ahhh! Treasure thieves, can you do such a thing for money? If it was you or your relatives sitting on the train, would you accept it?"

“Never accept it!!!”

"Ningguang of Tianquan Star arranged for the General Affairs Department to spend 30 trillion to create such a convenient means of transportation, which should have been in operation for years! But now it is directly scrapped because of the treasure-stealing group!

Who paid for the construction of this train? It was built with the taxes paid by the people of Liyue Harbor! Our money has simply gone down the drain. Can you forgive the Treasure Thieves?"

"No forgiveness, no forgiveness!!!"

......

Soon, personnel from various countries, newspapers and magazines arrived at the scene of the accident. Tianquan Xing Ningguang looked at the scene of the accident and walked away. Everyone knew that this matter would not end so easily.

A good first run and ribbon-cutting event turned into a huge anger, igniting the entire Liyue Harbor. After An Tuo's various propaganda, many people knelt in front of the rock ridge sealing formation of the bus station, begging him to take action to eliminate the treasure-stealing group.

This major event quickly spread throughout the continent of Teyvat, and everyone was paying close attention to the developments in Liyue. After all, the amount involved was too huge, a full one trillion Mora.

Chapter 42 The Train Accident Continues to Ferment

Although this train accident did not cause any casualties, under Ningguang's secret guidance, the people of Liyue Port could no longer tolerate the existence of the treasure-stealing group as before, and even the fleet of the Dragon King Beidou was affected.

Soon it was noon, and nearly 10,000 people gathered in front of the General Affairs Department.

"Why should we pay tolls to the treasure-stealing group? Did they build the road?"

"no no!"

"It's not easy to make a little money as a trader to support my family, and I still have to worry about them robbing me. Do you think they are bandits?"

"It's bandits! It's bandits!"

"When I go out for travel, I am often kidnapped by a group of treasure-stealing gangs. Not only am I tortured, but my family has to pay a large sum of money to redeem me. Do you think I am a kidnapper?"

"It's the kidnappers! It's the kidnappers!"

"I came to Liyue to work, and when I returned home I found that my ancestral tomb had been robbed, and the bones of my ancestors were all thrown on the ground. Are they tomb robbers?"

"It's a tomb robber! It's a tomb robber!"

"Are you willing to be threatened by them all the time?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to!"

"The train built by Tianquan Xing Lord Ningguang and Xuanyuan Trading Company can get from Liyue Port to Shimen Border in 11 hours. It can also carry 2000 tons of cargo or 2000 people and can run for 30 years. Such a powerful and practical means of transportation.

Now, because of their greed for money, the treasure-stealing group stole a rail, causing a major train accident. The investment of one trillion Mora has now become scrap metal. Even if the General Affairs Department invests more money to repair the train, if the treasure-stealing group does this again, would you dare to ride it? "

"Of course I don't dare to sit down, but when we walk on the cement road, there are often treasure-stealing groups jumping out to rob us! After the Qianyan Army patrolled, they jumped out again.

Moreover, there are pirates on the water as well. Now even the transportation of Liyue General Affairs Department is not safe. If we don’t deal with these treasure-stealing groups, can we still live a peaceful and good life in Liyue?"

"Liyue has really brought shame to the world this time. It was such a happy event, but it turned out like this."

......

Now even the square of the passenger station was gradually crowded with people. The middle-aged man in the railway uniform slid down to his knees in front of the rock ridge seal array and burst into tears.

"Master Xuan! Our train is gone! It's all because of those damn treasure-stealing gangs. They stole a track. The locomotive fell to the ground and exploded into pieces, and the carriages at the back were squeezed into a pile of scrap metal. Hundreds of billions of Mora are gone!"

Lin Zixuan looked up at him and closed his eyes again. You are totally unqualified as a supporter! The hole is too big, your face is covered with dust, your hands and clothes are all clean, and the cotton on your knees is leaking out!

There were more than 30 fire slime bombs in the locomotive that were taken from the Hill Chow tribe. Forget it, let's just follow the plan!

"As long as no one is hurt, it's fine. If the train is gone, Xuanyuan Trading Company can find a way to make another one. Some rare materials are indeed out of print. If there are a few more accidents, Xuanyuan Trading Company will not be able to handle it. The Treasure Stealing Group has had too much impact on the development of Liyue. It's time to clean it up.

I wanted to get rid of them in May because I had expected this to happen. After all, those specially formulated rails were like a lot of white Mora lying on the ground waiting for people to pick them up.

Liyue's laws can deter ordinary people, and ordinary people will not do such things that will anger God and man.

But these treasure-stealing groups are different. As long as there is profit, they don't care about the lives of others. The people of Liyue have suffered for many years. I originally wanted to get rid of them and restore peace to Liyue. In this way, this kind of thing will not happen.

The emperor is kind and cannot bear to see killing, so he sealed me for a year and asked Ningguang to recruit them and give them a chance. Now, you have also seen the consequences of letting the treasure-stealing group exist. You should go back first. After discussing this matter with the other seven stars, Ningguang of Tianquan Star will make arrangements. "

The sound of countless cameras clicking can be heard. I think tomorrow's newspaper headlines will be about my bad luck again. I want to create a world without my dark history!!!

late at night.

Ningguang came to the rock ridge sealing array of the bus station again.

"This ribbon-cutting event is really embarrassing for Liyue."

"This is just a minor problem. It won't affect the foundation of Liyue. If someone dies, that would be a real shame. The General Affairs Department's credibility would decline, which would lead to more serious problems.

"Fu Bo and his team have conducted tests and found that the latest version of the locomotive can pull 100 carriages. In other words, it can directly pull at least 5000 people. If 5000 Mondstadt tourists were brought to Liyue at that time and were attacked by the treasure-stealing group, it would cause serious diplomatic problems. I don't need to say more about the consequences. "

"Has the locomotive come out with a new version? I remember the last version was a month ago."

“The people of Liyue are all very smart, so don’t underestimate them. With our strong support, some of their brilliant ideas have been put to good use.

Once this railway is open, people from Mondstadt will be able to reach Liyue Harbor in one day. There will be many professions called tour guides, which can all be classified as tourism. Some routes of beautiful scenery, snacks, and historical culture need to be arranged in a unified manner. Prepare for our next plan."

"What else do you want to do?"

"A plan that will last for hundreds of years: cultural invasion. I'll leave it to you to handle when the time comes."

"Cultural invasion? This... I don't seem to understand it."

"No hurry, no hurry. We need to stabilize Liyue first before we can implement it. It's too early now. Don't you think there are too few concrete roads in Liyue?"

"If we want to build it, it will cost a lot of money. The cost of building that railway has seriously damaged the General Affairs Department."

"With you here, why worry about not having money? We have made several locomotives over the years. There is also a locomotive with almost zero cost. 0 adult fire slimes take turns using fire elements to boil water in the boiler, and even firewood is not needed.

Although it's a little noisy, a little slow, and requires a car specifically for slimes, this version of the locomotive is a very cost-effective way to transport people.

The freighter has a powerful array of 20 Ruins Guardian Cores. It can easily pull 100 carriages of cargo. However, the cooling time is a little long, so you can just build a few more when the time comes.

Once the train starts to make a profit, there will be no problem. Because the journey is long and takes a long time, we have 2 sets of tracks. We can set them up as follows: 2 direct express trains and 4 slow trains that stop at stations along the way. Separate the departure times and set the stop times at stations. Leave at the appointed time and don't wait for anyone.

This means that six trains can be operated every day. If the ticket price is 2 Moraes and 2000 people are carried, it will be 146 billion per year.

If six trains run every day, the annual revenue is 6 billion Moraes, and this is just for transporting people. If the freight is 876 carriages, it is another way of calculation.

Moreover, the most important part of the income is the incidental marketing income, including the advertising income in the carriages, the magazine and snack car on the train, and some advertisements on the platforms along the way.

I'm only calculating the lower price. You must be more professional than me about the specific price. If it is operated properly, the investment will be recovered within 5 years and the railway will be profitable for 95 years. Do you like it?"

Ningguang immediately got into the state, took out a small abacus from her sleeve, and started to calculate the accounts. Her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Moreover, it can create at least thousands of new jobs and solve the employment problems of many people."

"It's a pity. The railway is under the General Affairs Department, so there are fewer places to make money."

"Don't learn from the last batch of Seven Stars and reach in."

"No, I just plan to supply food, dried fruits, snacks and the like, and make as much money as I can."

“Forget it, let’s get back to business. I hope that in Liyue, we will never see treasure-stealing groups, bandits, mountain bandits, pirates, tomb robbers and the like again. They have too many negative impacts on the development of Liyue.

The most important thing is: the emperor seems to be really angry, the emperor is summoning his subordinates, and I sense that many immortals have gathered in Jueyunjian. "

"In this case, it's really not a small matter."

"The immortals who died fighting for Liyue, the caves they left behind are all Liyue's wealth, and the Dharma bodies they left in the caves must not be defiled. This kind of thing really can't go on. I can't control what's going on abroad. I must make Liyue a pure land where people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Okay then! I'll go back and prepare." Ningguang walked while calculating on the abacus in her hand. It seemed that she had thought of another way to make money.

a week later.

The train accident was still brewing, and many people went to see the accident scene every day. Some great writers even wrote down the thirty sins of the treasure-stealing group. Another batch of goods from Feiyun Commercial Bank was robbed, which once again ignited the anger of the people in Liyue Port.

It was also reported that a certain Qixing returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, and found a tomb robbery hole near his ancestral tomb. Thinking it was not right, he dug it open and fainted.

All the burial objects in the tomb disappeared, the coffin was opened, the bones were thrown in the corner, and the shroud and gold ornaments on the body were all missing. Many reporters went to the scene and also saw this shocking way of tomb robbery.

This has refreshed the perception of the people in Liyue Harbor. They have always thought that this group was just digging for treasure chests, stealing, and occasionally robbing. I didn't expect it to be like this.

December.

A new notice was posted at the entrance of the General Affairs Department: From next year, illegal organizations such as the Treasure Thieves, Fatui, Ronin, Bandits, Mountain Brigands, and Pirates are permanently prohibited from conducting any activities in Liyue. All crimes committed in Liyue will be punished according to the highest penalty. Liyue has countless ways to know what you have done in the past.

For some organizations such as the Adventurers Association, the number of people and positions within the association need to be registered with the General Affairs Department. The tasks issued and the details of the tasks need to be reported to the General Affairs Department. If the tasks are not reported, there will be consequences such as fines or even expulsion from Liyue.

Excavation of all immortal mansions and tombs in Liyue is prohibited. Some destroyed immortal mansions and ancient tombs will be kept and maintained by Liyue's archaeological team.

The General Affairs Department will fund the establishment of Liyue's History Museum to store these items. Trading of burial objects is prohibited. Liyue has countless ways to find out the source of items, so don't take any chances.

At the same time, a second decree was issued that would bring disaster to future generations: tomb robbers would be directly executed with the highest penalty, and future generations would not be able to escape punishment.

People in Liyue Harbor are welcome to report. The first person to provide effective clues will receive a reward of 100 million Mora to million Mora.

“Extra, Extra, things are going to change in Liyue!”

"Wow! What a direct approach!"

"Aren't those rats doomed? I happen to know a tomb robber."

"I think the decree can't be implemented. It's not just a problem with the treasure-stealing group. It seems that even Dragon King Beidou can't return to Liyue Harbor."

"Why can't it be carried out? Have you forgotten the investigation of the termite incident two years ago? Hypnosis and the Emperor's statue take turns to attack, can you withstand it? I heard that there is a magic method that can directly check people's memories."

"Now the Adventurer's Guild has also been affected. I wonder how many guilds will have to evacuate Liyue Harbor."

"The Adventurer's Association is originally a redundant organization. The General Affairs Department also has a department similar to the Adventurer's Association at the Liyue Harbor Pier. It seems to be called the 'General Affairs Department Resource Management Office'."

"The people in the Adventurer's Guild are mixed. I went to the Adventurer's Guild to recruit a helper some time ago, and then I found out that he was a member of the treasure-stealing group that robbed me in Dihua Island. Although he covered his face at that time, the special scar on his hand was the same."

"Isn't this too disgusting?"

"Really? I immediately went to cancel the recruitment that day, but he still threatened me and caused my products to be robbed every time. I have suffered heavy losses in the past six months."

"The way this tomb robber handled it was really good. I don't have to worry about my ancestral grave being dug up anymore."

"I feel a little sorry for Master Xuan whose ancestral grave has been dug up more than 300 times."

"Next year you won't have to worry about being robbed anymore. Praise Liyue."

“There are probably still quite a few stubborn ones out there!”

"Still stubborn, they will survive until next June when my name is written backwards."

"Yes! The Master Xuan who is still sealed in the ground will come out on May 5 next year. Judging from his attitude towards the Treasure Stealing Group, it is not just an ordinary hatred, but a mortal hatred that will never end."

Chapter 43 "Conspiracy"

As soon as the announcement from the General Affairs Department was issued, Liyue's toughness shocked the people of Teyvat.

Is this to make sure that there are no idle people like the treasure-stealing group in the entire Liyue? Even the Adventurer's Association is preparing to kick them out of Liyue. Many people also know that the Adventurer's Association's headquarters is in the Kingdom of Winter, and it is very likely that it has a close relationship with the queen.

Asking the Adventurers Association to hand over personnel information and control their tasks is equivalent to trying to control the lifeblood of the association. A normal association would not agree to such a thing.

Many experts also pointed out that Liyue already had a similar official organization called the "General Affairs Department Resource Management Office". The seven countries all had similar official organizations of this type, but none of them could compete with the Adventurer's Association.

And the most important thing is that Liyue has the confidence to do this, and there are countless positions in Liyue waiting for people to work.

In the past two years, relevant data shows that the number of missions of the Liyue Adventurer Association has decreased by nearly 60%. Even if it is abolished directly, Liyue can directly provide nearly jobs to accommodate these adventurers, which is something that other countries cannot do.

What's more, there are very few real adventurers. Most adventurers do it to make a living or for fun.

One is a safe, stable job in Liyue with a decent salary. The other is running errands and completing tasks in the mountains and fields, sleeping in the open air, and being smashed into a pulp by a passing Rock Helm King.

In the eyes of some people, the young master Xuan of Xuanyuan Trading Company is very powerful and has created a lot of very practical and durable items.

Someone has estimated that if the train is put into operation, with 1000 stations covering nearly 10 kilometers, the government alone can provide jobs for about 2000 people, not to mention the transportation and logistics personnel needed at the railway station.

Some Xumi scholars analyzed the behavior of Master Xuan and came to a very scary conclusion: he was planning to build Liyue into a perfect country, a place where people could live and work in peace, travel conveniently, and there was no vicious crime.

This article by Xumi scholar was also circulated in the continent of Teyvat, causing more people to analyze the behavior of the young master of Xuanyuan Trading Company.

It was late at night, and it was quiet at the Liyue Harbor Bus Station.

"It must be hard to be sealed!" A little girl with blue hair appeared in front of the rock ridge seal. A thick notebook and a pen were hung around her neck, and the cover was written with "Record Every Day" (Part 3).

"Who are you?" Lin Zixuan tried hard to recall, he seemed to have encountered this feeling before.

"Do you still remember the tree at the foot of Hulao Mountain? You can call me: Ajiu."

"It looks like the barrier has loosened. How dare you come to Liyue Harbor?"

"Morax isn't here. Why shouldn't I dare come?"
