Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"Praise Liyue, I'm about to pee just looking at her."

“It’s moving. It’s moving.”

The ocean-going freighter was seen slowly sailing out of the dock. At the pier of Liyue Harbor New City, reporters were desperately photographing every move of this giant ocean-going freighter as it left the dock.

However, when the ship was about to dock, many reporters knelt down. The unparalleled pressure made them succumb. This group of people not only became Liyue fans, but also became a new generation of public intellectuals who influenced their own country.

Afterwards, two escort warships also arrived at the port. The runes faintly visible on the hulls made people marvel at Liyue's strength.

"Ocean-going freighters will officially start operations after the Lantern Festival holiday. A new freight trading center has been opened at the port in the new city of Liyue Harbor. Currently, only the routes between Mondstadt and Inazuma are open. If you need any, please go to the freight trading center for details."

This year's Lantern Festival slowly came to an end amid the amazement and excitement of the people of Liyue.

......

"Ah Qing, Young Master Xuan has done such a big thing, do you have any feelings about it?"

"Replying to Uncle Tian, ​​I just think it's amazing. It should make Liyue's freight transportation stronger, and people's income will be higher."

Uncle Tian took a sip of tea and shook his head.

"That's too superficial."

"Well, that's a show of force to shock the six nations."

“It’s just a byproduct.”

"I do not know."

"He is gradually making the Rock King fade out of people's sight. All the practical items built by Xuanyuan Trading Company were created entirely by humans, and none of them have anything to do with the Rock King.

You can see from the Liyue History Museum that not only did the Rock King never appear in modern history, but even his name never appeared."

"!!!"

"New things are constantly replacing old things. People can still live well without the Geo King. The prerequisite is that the cohesion of the people of Liyue must be strong enough.

You questioned the emperor's doting, people's laziness, and the way Liyue was run. But you did not find the way forward for Liyue.

Not only did he find it, he is still working on it, guiding the people of Liyue to become self-reliant. The display of the new iron ship is just one part of his grand plan."

"But, with his strength, aren't you afraid that he will become the new 'Emperor of Rock'?"

"Before, I thought he had the potential. But after he reorganized Xuanyuan Trading Company, I knew he was not interested in this.

Moreover, he had once forced the historian to hypnotize himself and revised the official history records of the past few years, an official history that did not include him. If I had not decided to read the official history on a whim that day, I would have kept it a secret. I am afraid that he would gradually disappear from the eyes of the people of Liyue, just like the Emperor.

Liyue was built by these silently dedicated people. The contributions made by the immortals to Liyue are much greater than you can imagine. Don’t be misled by the biographies of your family that only mention one or two things. "

"I see. Thank you, Uncle Tian."

"Go ahead!"

Chapter 97: The Aftermath of Liyue Shipping Upgrade

The new ocean-going freighters shown at the Liyue Lantern Festival gradually spread throughout the continent of Teyvat. The three large steel ships shown in the photo attracted people's attention to Liyue.

The remaining four countries also sent delegations to Liyue for a friendly visit to discuss the construction of a new port and the purchase of new ships. The cargo capacity of an ocean-going freighter is equivalent to that of 10,000 ordinary wooden sailing ships, which deeply stimulated the shipping industry of the other six countries.

Foreign technicians continued to visit Liyue Harbor to see this man-made miracle. The General Affairs Department also sent out secret agents to win over some foreign technicians with good conduct.

Experts at Fontaine are also analyzing the feasibility of building their own ocean-going cargo ships. Although Fontaine has submarines, ordinary businesses are shaking their heads at the maintenance price.

The technological breakthrough of steel alone cannot be achieved overnight. Ordinary steel is not only brittle, but also easily corroded when immersed in seawater.

Moreover, it would take time to find out the new technology that Liyue used on this ocean-going freighter. The guards of the two warships clearly stated that no strangers should approach, so whether they could board the ship was still a question.

The extensive use of Liyue crystal engines, and Liyue's strategy of "good money drives out bad money", the low price of amber solution, and the high-efficiency energy conversion have caused some of Fontaine's power research projects to fail in the womb.

After calculating the costs, they found that it was much cheaper to use Liyue's crystal engine and amber solution.

They have already cracked the steam locomotive, and I heard that the top leaders of Fontaine also have plans to build a train. However, they encountered the biggest problem: Liyue was holding back on iron ore.

Liyue has the largest iron ore mine in Teyvat. It can be said that more than 95% of the iron ore in Teyvat comes from Liyue. Although other countries have iron ore, not only are the reserves very scarce, but they are all poor ores with too many impurities. After mining, the cost of removing impurities alone is a huge amount of money.

The Liyue borers once sold Liyue's various mineral resources at extremely low prices, deepening other countries' dependence on Liyue's mineral resources. Although it now seems to have played a certain strategic effect, it's a pity that the money went into their own pockets.

After the mineral resources were nationalized by Young Master Xuan a few years ago, they have hardly sold any mineral resources to the outside world.

Instead, they sell various compliant iron ingots and alloy ingots. After the layers of tariffs, the price of iron ore in other countries has risen again and again. If Liyue says it will rise, the whole world will rise, and if Liyue says it will fall, the whole world will fall.

Under the guidance of Uncle Tian, ​​Keqing gradually understood the significance of spending so much effort on nationalization. By taking advantage of her own strengths, she can strangle others and establish her own dominant position.

Keqing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Some of her own plans were small-scale ones that started in three to five years. However, his plan was almost a century-long plan, a millennium-long plan, a game between countries. The perspectives of both sides were completely different, and her previous vision was too narrow.

......

Immediately after the Lantern Festival came the trademark infringement case that shocked the continent of Teyvat, leaving people shocked at Liyue's iron-blooded methods.

Liyue had enacted the Trademark Act several years ago. Severe punishments will be imposed on businesses and individuals who use trademarks fraudulently. However, profit is the key to success, and there will always be people who are blinded by greed.

Each iron ingot of Liyue has a unique trademark imprint. In the Kingdom of Winter, there is a large iron ore trading company that secretly prints the Liyue trademark on its own inferior iron ingots. It even prints the Liyue trademark on its own inferior purple weapons.

A group of adventurers bought these inferior purple weapons to explore the newly discovered secret realm. As a result, only 7 out of 2 people came out alive. The newly bought purple weapons were vulnerable and broke directly. With their propaganda, the reputation of Liyue's iron ingots was greatly affected.

Liyue learned about this and sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Winter to find out the situation. They found that the Kingdom of Winter actually had a large number of inferior iron ingots and inferior weapons with the Liyue trademark printed on them. The people of Winter were disgusted with the things sold by Liyue.

After identifying the infringing business, we sent a lawyer's letter to the offending business but to no avail. We applied for official intervention from the Winter Country, and despite all the evidence, there was still no action for half a year.

The final reply was: This is the law of your Liyue, not the law of the Kingdom of Winter.

In mid-March, the General Affairs Department of Liyue issued an ultimatum to the officials of the Kingdom of Winter: If the Kingdom of Winter does not stop this kind of trademark infringement, Liyue will use unconventional means. The letter was passed to the officials of the Kingdom of Winter and was torn into pieces on the spot. This news was also passed back to Liyue.

Major newspapers vied to report on the event, giving people plenty of topics to talk about after dinner, and the teahouses were bustling with people at night.

"This matter can be big or small!"

"The Trademark Act has been in force for so long, but this is the first time such a serious infringement case has occurred. The other party is a large trading company in the Kingdom of Winter, and they also have the protection of the Kingdom of Winter."

"So our friends from the Kingdom of Winter said that the iron ingots in Liyue are all garbage. Not only are they expensive, but they also need to be sent back to the furnace for re-melting. This company is behind this."

"They also made inferior purple weapons and printed the Liyue logo on them. Isn't this just a way to kill people? The Liyue Ironworks has never sold weapons with the logo.

Even if they were sold, the ironworks still has more than 100 types of cold-resistant iron ingots for sale, and they won’t break if touched.”

"The impact of this incident is too great. If it is not dealt with, I am afraid that the Trademark Act will be directly abandoned."

"What would happen if Young Master Xuan knew about this?"

"I'm afraid it won't end so easily. According to gossip, that merchant has been selling these inferior iron ingots with their own Liyue trademark for almost three years."

......

"Emperor, what do you think I should do about this trademark incident?"

Lin Zixuan, who was in the teahouse with Zhongli, was pouring tea for the old man.

Because too many people wanted to get close to Lin Zixuan, someone became a little impatient with the harassment and started using disguise to wander around Liyue Harbor.

Zhongli took a sip of tea slowly and said nothing.

“The official trademark of Liyue Ironworks is equivalent to Liyue’s reputation. Now someone is using counterfeit and inferior products to ruin Liyue’s reputation. This is no small matter!

If someone took your mark, committed adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil, ruined your reputation, and made you a rat crossing the street, a god that everyone wanted to kill. What would you do? "

Zhongli glanced at Lin Zixuan, who was holding his chin and talking to himself outside the window, and learned of his determination.

"Don't make too much of a fuss."

"Yes."

......

At the end of March, the General Affairs Department of Liyue sent another letter to the Kingdom of Winter and announced the contents of the letter. Reasonable demands and reasonable compensation made it difficult for merchants and legal scholars to find fault. However, after the letter was sent to the official of the Kingdom of Winter, it fell into oblivion.

In early April, the third letter was sent to the officials of the Kingdom of Winter, but there was still no response. The Liyue delegation requested to meet the Ice Queen, but was rejected by the officials of the Kingdom of Winter.

All business people in Teyvat began to focus on this trademark incident. There is an old saying in Liyue: Three times is the limit. The letter has been sent three times, and there shouldn't be a fourth time.

Inside the Northland Bank, Tartaglia paced back and forth in the lobby anxiously. What on earth were those officials doing? Did they still think Liyue was the same Liyue as before?

On the Qun Yu Pavilion.

A large sand table of the Kingdom of Winter was placed in the living room, and various photos of the cities of the Kingdom of Winter and some people's photos covered the walls.

Looking at this exotic city that was completely different from the style of Teyvat, Lin Zixuan sighed. It was time to speed up the city construction of Liyue. Some buildings on the sand table were planted with red flags. There was a main store, nine branches, and three large mansions.

Baiwen: "News came from the Kingdom of Dongdong that the patriarch of this business will celebrate his birthday at the end of April, and everyone in his family will return to the mansion on that day."

Bai Shi: "This is a list of assets owned by their family. Their source of iron ore is mainly this iron mine near the sea."

Bai Xiao: "The total reserves of this iron ore have been explored, and they are much less than the previously estimated reserves. It is still a poor ore with a lot of impurities. In addition, there is a rare cold iron ore at the bottom that has not yet been discovered by the Dongdong Country. The reserves are not low."

"Very good. I didn't expect that our ocean-going freighter would have to go to the Kingdom of Winter before it had made a few trips to Mond Inazuma." Lin Zixuan sat on the edge of the sand table with his legs crossed.

"Will your plan work?" Ningguang looked solemn. The Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter were also arrogant people in Liyue.

"There's no other way, right? As long as they continue to steal Liyue's trademark, they're not only destroying Liyue's reputation, but also killing many people. These are the consequences that we shouldn't have to bear, but they're being held responsible. If we don't deal with it, do you think more people will follow suit?

If some of the merchants in Liyue purchased these inferior iron ingots and then bid for the construction of the bridge from the General Affairs Department, they would have spent hundreds of millions of Mora, but the bridge would have collapsed in less than a year. This kind of shoddy construction, man-made disaster, and serious consequences are not something that can be easily resolved in all aspects. "

"Indeed, the negative impact of the trademark issue is too great. There are still a few executive officers left in the Kingdom of Winter, please pay attention to your safety."

"Well, I'll avoid them."

......

In mid-April, the General Affairs Department of Liyue issued a notice: Due to the case of Zhidong Guo Commercial Bank stealing the trademark of Liyue Ironworks, there are witnesses and evidence, and they still do not act despite repeated warnings and summons. Liyue sent letters three times, but still remained indifferent. Liyue will implement the compulsory liquidation procedure.

Afterwards, the news from the Kingdom of Winter made the people of the continent of Teyvat feel deeply frightened.

At the end of April, a business that had stolen the Liyue trademark was razed to the ground by a man dressed in white debt collector's clothes. A large family was wiped out. Two of the Dongdong Kingdom's executive officers who were ambushed nearby were seriously injured, three were slightly injured, and countless ordinary casualties were suffered.

After that, the Queen of the Kingdom of Winter appeared, and a war between the two was imminent. One day later, three snow-capped mountains in the Kingdom of Winter disappeared forever. The Queen of the Kingdom of Winter was injured, and when they were about to retrieve her body, the executive officers were horrified to find that the one fighting against them was just a wooden clone.

He only left one sentence: "When did I allow you to bully Liyue?"

Afterwards, news came from the coastal city that fifty giant wooden men had directly dug out the mineral vein owned by that trading company, and that the ocean-going liner from Liyue was dragging tens of thousands of giant wooden ships, carrying the ore away.

People nearby burst into tears as they looked at the huge mine. The mineral veins on which they depended for their survival had completely disappeared.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Winter thoroughly investigated the matter. Liyue had negotiated with the Kingdom of Winter many times before, but was blocked each time. The first two times the letters were blocked were done by the people arranged by the disappeared big merchant company. The last time the letter was blocked, the executive officer intervened and took over. They did not think that Liyue could pose any threat to the Kingdom of Winter.

However, it turned out that this Lin Zixuan was too outrageous. He had unfathomable elemental power, super strong recovery ability, immortal talismans that could resist time and space, and a self-disciplined shield that could prevent long-range damage.

The most disgusting thing is the sealing technique. A wooden dragon only needs to lightly touch it, and the elemental power in its body will be directly reduced by one third.

After this war, the Dong Kingdom also began to clean up its internal affairs and reorganize its work.

At sea, an ocean-going freighter was towing tens of thousands of wooden ships loaded with ore. The bottoms of these giant wooden ships had a large number of blades waving backwards, which could provide some forward momentum.

Lin Zixuan, standing on the deck, looked at the black "karma" in his hand. No wonder the emperor would not take action. This karma was like a bone-eating and sutra-burning sensation, which was really unpleasant.

If one's own karma is so unbearable, then how many people can bear Xiao's karma? They can only rely on the remaining merits to slowly dissipate these karmas after returning.

Chapter 98 The hell lies ahead!

The impact of this cross-border trademark case was enormous. For the first time, people witnessed Liyue's iron-blooded methods and never thought that trademark theft would have such serious consequences.

Liyue General Affairs Department once again stated that Liyue will conduct "reasonable" pursuit against any business or organization that misappropriates the Liyue trademark, and welcomes other businesses to report it.

In the Steambird Newspaper, several scholars from Fontaine and Xumi also interpreted this trademark incident. The concept of capitalist proposed by Master Liyuexuan a few years ago was once again brought out for analysis.

Some secret things that the disappeared big family did in Zhidong Kingdom gradually came to people's attention.

Once again, people have seen the problems caused by capitalists. If they have 100% profit, they dare to trample on all human laws; if they have 300% profit, they dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

Just by printing the Liyue trademark, the price of a low-quality iron ingot can be increased by 3-10 times.

Nearly three years of continuous sales have allowed them to accumulate more and more capital, and act more and more unscrupulously.

They even bought up all the land in several small towns near the border of Zhidong Kingdom, and even the appointment of the town mayor and officers and soldiers was handled by them.

In one town, the chief's son was allowed to exercise the right of first night. After the rebels were beaten to death and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, no one could walk to the main city of Winter Solstice alive.

Afterwards, they also reached out to the officialdom of the Kingdom of Winter, relying on a large number of Mora to corrupt officials and block the channels for appeal of those people. This diplomatic incident was even able to prevent the Liyue diplomatic delegation from meeting the Queen of the Kingdom of Winter.

Even some executives did not have as much power as them. Most of the executives were secretly operating abroad. Although domestic executives occasionally heard about it, they were soon known by the secret agents of this big trading company and many things were suppressed.

This led to the Liyue delegation delivering the third letter, and the executive officers received the news, began to intervene, and even made a series of plans. As for the result...

Of course, there are also some smart scholars who analyzed another situation: the delegation from Liyue to the Kingdom of Winter is actually composed entirely of newcomers.

Many people in Liyue General Affairs Department knew the executive officers of the Kingdom of Winter, and some of them could even be considered good friends. However, none of these people who were familiar with the situation of the Kingdom of Winter appeared in the delegation, even though they could have met the Queen by directly contacting the executive officers.
