Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

But he also knew that there was a huge difference between calling and meeting in person, so he promised: "Don't worry, I will come back to Xumi a few times in the middle. I also promised Ke Lai that I would teach her archery."

Ke Lai's face turned slightly red. She knew that Xie Yan had intended to give her special treatment yesterday, but he ended up walking into an academic exchange conference by mistake.

Well, although judging from the results, Xie Yan also practiced archery on her, he fixed the target with both hands, so it would be outrageous if it could be crooked.

But she did not complain at all. Rather, she said that this was Cole's real purpose. Wearing a battle suit at night to find Xie Yan, the meaning was already very clear.

The more this happened, the more she wanted to thank Amber, and prayed in her heart that Miss You from Mond would take good care of Amber in the future. Please!

"If Cole is willing, he can live in Jingshan Palace." Nashida blinked cutely.

Ke Lai crossed his arms and lowered his head shyly: "Forget it, I should go to the training ground soon, and I will take the students to patrol the forest in a few days."

Life became busy again, but Ke Lai felt fulfilled, thinking that he was helping the prince.

The girl's mind is very simple. She is no longer obsessed with imitating Amber. She just wants to make her own contribution to Xumi and watch over Xie Yan's ideal of governing the country.

Xie Yan could naturally feel Ke Lai's pitiful and even humble feelings, and decided to enlighten her well the next time he came to Xumi.

Well, fortunately, although Cole has the talent of a victim, he did not show that special habit in the team match yesterday.

This is probably because in front of Amber, Cole went from being a victim to being the heroine?

Although he and Amber could still get along well, Xie Yan inexplicably felt guilty.

Yingmei didn't have much thought. After two days of tasks, she had almost digested the grass elemental power. Next, she would follow Xie Yan back to Inazuma to complete more tasks for a while, and her thunder elemental power would also be stabilized.

As for the party? Don't be silly, there's no party if you're not pregnant!

Afterwards, Yingmei followed Cole and left. She wanted to take Amber to Jingshan Palace and asked Xie Yan to teleport her back to Mond first. Otherwise, given the distance between Xumi and Mond, it would be too far for Amber to go back alone.

Xie Yan followed Nashida and her daughter to the Ministry of Education to see if there were any government affairs that needed to be handled.

If it were based on Nashida's original standards, she would still have a lot of things to do today, but after being reminded by Xie Yan, she did not look after the trivial matters. She only had a few academic reports on hand to review.

This work is actually the responsibility of the great sage, but since Nashida ordered Senor to strictly enforce academic style, many well-known scholars have successively resigned, and Nashida has not found a suitable candidate for the time being.

Elhaisen could do it. In terms of academic level alone, he is ten khawajas higher than Azar. But when he saw that the situation in Xumi was stable, he didn't even want to be the acting sage, and Nashida didn't want to force him.

Fortunately, the House of the Decree has the most comprehensive knowledge system in Teyvat. Nashida believes that after the new decree has been in effect for a period of time, Xumi's academic level should be able to return to normal.

"I've thought about it carefully. If you want to surpass the Kingdom of Winter in national strength, it is feasible for you, brother Xie Yan, to create a new system to catch up with the gap in military strength. However, national strength is not just about military strength. The relevant hardware and software must also keep up." Nashida's face was serious. "Inazuma is at a great disadvantage in this regard, but Xumi has the relevant conditions."

Xie Yan nodded. The roles of Guizhongji, Yin-Yang magic, and talismans in battle were not much different from the Fatui's equipment. However, the productivity improvement brought about by the Industrial Revolution could not be replaced by talismans. After all, talismans still needed to provide their own divine power.

With Inazuma Sword taking a different approach to developing military strength and Xumi focusing on development, with the strength of the two countries, sooner or later they will be able to catch up with Zhidong and Liyue with the strength of their people themselves.

"Unconsciously, so many changes have taken place." Xie Yan sighed, feeling as if he was witnessing a child's growth. The old man probably viewed Liyue in the same way, right?

He had some understanding of the God's perspective, but when he thought of Zhongli, he realized that he had not been reporting the situation.

Although the old man must have heard the news while shopping and walking his bird, it is still impolite.

"I'll take Ying to Liyue after Inazuma is done with her work. The Lantern Festival is coming soon," Xie Yan thought.

Now that this matter is over, I think I can really take a break for a while, right?

While he was sighing, Nashida picked up a paper and looked at it carefully, muttering, "Laila? Her paper is quite interesting. The star map she drew is very complete."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, but his cultural level was not high enough, and just looking at the calculation formula made his scalp tingle.

It’s strange to say that the starry sky of Teyvat is fake, which is no secret to higher-level beings, but Mona’s astrology and scholars’ research on the starry sky can be made so well-organized and there are specific public announcements to support it, which is really puzzling.

However, he was not interested in this, because Xie Yan remembered that many stories hinted that the False Sky was more like a protective shield. If one really destroyed the starry sky like the Clown and others did, then he would be the one who suffered.

After spending more than an hour quietly together with Nashida and Buyer, Xie Yan heard Amber's voice coming from outside the door and knew that it was time for everyone to go back.

He touched Nashida's little head and said, "I will be back as soon as possible."

Nashida nodded reluctantly and looked at her mother again.

The Great Compassion Tree King didn't have any burden now. She had completely put down her elder's airs yesterday. She came to Xie Yan and hugged him for a while, buried her head in his neck and whispered, "I won't tell you to come back as soon as possible. You should pay attention to yourself and think seriously about your own path."

"the way?"

"Well, I told you before that as long as you can comprehend the divinity of the World Tree, you will be able to master the power of the universe. But just like the difference between you and Lei Yingdian's power of thunder, you and I also have different understandings of the World Tree. Don't insist on syncing with me."

Xie Yan thought for a moment and understood that he was going to create his own imperial scripture to prove his truth.

Well, since I’m going to Liyue, I might as well retrieve the family’s supreme imperial weapon from the Layered Abyss.

"Through the God's Lock, I have gained some understanding of the transformation between reality and illusion, but it is still a little bit lacking. I will think more about it next time."

He reached out and hugged the Great Mercy Tree King, and before Yingmei and Amber came, Xie Yan leaned over and kissed her.

Nashida wanted to pretend to cover her eyes, but the two of them already knew her naughty nature, so they didn't bother.

Damn it, I really want to expose my mom’s true face in front of my brother Xie Yan!

Although she was tortured, Nashida was still not convinced. Xie Yan still thought that his mother was silver!

She really wanted to use a big move to drag her mother into the water, but she gave up in the end.

It's nothing, it's just that my mother's trick was too scary, and Nashida doesn't want to become a girl again.

...

Afterwards, Xie Yan teleported Amber to Mond, while he and Yingmei successfully returned to the castle tower hall.

But at this time, government affairs were being discussed in the hall. Xie Yan looked around and saw that his brother-in-law and several medium-sized families of the Kanjo Bugyofu were all here. The general was sitting at the top with an expressionless face, nodding his approval from time to time.

However--

The general's pretending to know was finally exposed.

After Xie Yan was teleported over, when there was silence on the field, she was still nodding stupidly, as if she was single-threaded and couldn't react.

There is no way. Currently, only government affairs and pack animals can burn out her CPU.

Uh, although the latter is a verb.

Xie Yan certainly would not let the general lose face. While everyone was still not reacting, he immediately asked his eldest brother-in-law about the situation: "Big... ahem, Master Shenli, what are you discussing?"

你是遁,一.'源'裙;;⒊'⒋'⒈.⒋.7.1,7;8;④.备,用'中.转.裙,⒌.7;0,2;9'6'3.④;④'想叫我大舅哥吧?

Kamisato Ayato's face turned dark, and he was almost so angry that he broke out in Otto's poop.

But the general was still watching, and he explained sternly, "We are discussing the funding issue, but the Kanjo Bugyo is not cooperating."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand. You are here to ask me for money, right?"

I'm testing your sister!

63 The General's Wife's Ambition, Liyue Seeks Help

As Xie Yan finished his thought, Kamisato Ayato had a premonition that someone was stealing his crystal. His stern face almost failed to hold tight and his body trembled slightly.

But the next second, Kamisato Ayato became bored.

Brother, I don’t care anymore.

Stealing crystals? The spring water has become someone else's!

Having said that, the image of Xie Yan's behavior of flirting with his sister when he was a guest at Kamisato's house and stealing the tower came to his mind, and the eldest brother-in-law still felt a dull pain in his heart.

Especially when he saw Linghua and Xie Yan confessing their feelings to each other under the moonlight, he wished it was him who was fencing with Xie Yan! This guy learned the Kamisato-ryu sword technique from him.

Stab quickly and stab hard!

There was a hint of resentment in my brother-in-law's eyes.

Xie Yan felt a little embarrassed at first when he was looked at by him, but when he thought that Brother Long once gave him the same look and finally blessed him and Sister Ying, he felt relieved.

Yes, thinking about it afterwards, Xie Yan felt more and more that Brother Long was a person who could get along with him. He denied his marriage to Yingmei, but told himself to be gentler with Yingmei. Wasn't this a clear hint?

He understands Brother Long’s painstaking efforts!

Now I am in such a hurry to get the void terminal, also to let Brother Long know that I have followed his orders and tried to be as gentle as possible. Sometimes I make Sister Ying faint, that's because Ying has a physique that is prone to dizziness, and it is easy to get dizzy when having a party.

As for whether she has a physique that is easy to get pregnant, this still requires Xie Yan's continuous efforts and practice. If she is really pregnant, Xie Yan will also report the good news to Brother Long.

However, personal relationships are one thing. Xie Yan is very clear about Kamisato Ayato's work ability. Although he also has the idea of ​​fighting for power for the family, he is much more trustworthy than other families. Now that they are complaining about lack of funds, there must be a problem on the part of the Kanjo Bugyo.

Xie Yan turned to look at the people in the Kanjo Bugyo. Although he had not managed these families much, they had met each other several times and were quite familiar with each other. Seeing him looking over, Matsuura Kyohei from last time immediately bowed and reported: "Your Highness Xie Yan, it's not that we don't want to, but it's just that the finances are tight recently. The expansion of the Tianling Bugyo's recruitment of personnel and the construction of Qinglai Island are both huge expenses."

"Not really, right? Even if the talismans and other items haven't been sold yet, the weapons order from Liyue last time is enough to support the finances for a while. Could it be that the supplies are running out again?"

"Well, that's the problem. Our weapons were only recently manufactured and were shipped yesterday. But according to Miss Shinobu Kuki, the trade war between Liyue and Dongzhi is very intense. The executive, Rich Man, personally went to other countries to lobby, and it seems to have had a good effect. I'm afraid Liyue won't be able to pay the money in a short time."

What? There's such a thing? Beat him up!

Xie Yan frowned. In the game, although Zhongli mentioned that the discontinuation of Mora's production would cause a lot of trouble after the main storyline ended, and that Qixing had to find a way to solve it themselves, this was not reflected in any subsequent plots or activities, leaving Xie Yan confused.

But it is conceivable that if the printing of currency suddenly stops in reality, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Of course, Ningguang would definitely give the money that was owed, and she would not default on Inazuma's debt, but Inazuma's finances would still be tight for a while.

"I understand. We need to reduce financial expenditures during this period. I will start the production of talismans as soon as possible." Xie Yan touched his chin. "By the way, why is the Society's fund insufficient?"

Kamisato Ayato picked up a few reports from the table and handed them to Xie Yan respectfully: "The main expenses of the community magistrate before were to comfort the residents and hold festivals. Now, firstly, there are more residents on the island, and secondly, the sword forging industry has been adjusted. We have recruited many folk swordsmiths, and the related expenses are increasing day by day."

Speaking of this, Kamisato Ayato felt a little embarrassed. Although Xie Yan returned the authority of the swordsmithing industry to them, the company executive still had to ask him for funds.

But he really had no choice. The Shefengxing was already in a precarious situation, and he had to face two old foxes alone. The Shefengxing did not have much money on hand as they were not in cahoots with each other.

In order to expand her income, her younger sister Ayaka, after learning that director Fontaine was going to produce a series of films in the Son-in-Law series, even went against everyone's opinion and contacted them to come to Kamisato House to shoot.

"This is really embarrassing for Kamisato. Ayaka could have explained it to me clearly last time."

"Well, actually Linghua herself is very interested in filming movies. She is a fan of the Son-in-law series. If she didn't find the filming scene a bit awkward, she might have volunteered to be an actor."

Kamisato Ayato's eyes became more and more resentful. When the Son-in-law series was popular, Xie Yan was far from having the status he has today. Linghua was interested in this novel, wasn't it because she wanted Xie Yan to be a son-in-law?

As for not reporting the family difficulties to Xie Yan last time... humph, you are so unfaithful, what else can he do?

If he hadn't insisted on coming to the castle tower with him, his sister might have "sacrificed herself for the family" that day.

Xie Yan felt that he had neglected Linghua a bit. By the way, before he came back, he said who else would he look at besides Linghua?

With official business before him, Xie Yan didn't think too much about it for the time being.

He pondered for a moment, then frowned, "Wait, the Kingdom of Winter sent so many resources and Mora last time, the money has not been spent, right?"

I understand, it must have been done by the Kingdom of Zhidong!

Did they want to break the contract? But why didn't the general react?

However, Matsuura Kyouhei and his companions were embarrassed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. The chief priest of Hanasari has instructed that these resources and funds are the property of the general. We have therefore put them into our private treasury and cannot use them now."

Private library?

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment. Is there a private vault for Inazuma?

But if you think about it, this is a feudal monarchy after all. The general, as a god, has no concept of money. If the four gods really get together, Wendy will probably have to sing to make money for everyone.

Xie Yan turned to look at the general, only to see her sitting in the main seat with an expressionless face. Although she did not nod as if she understood as before, she was obviously in a daze.

To this day, she has not been able to overcome her biggest weakness. Discussions about government affairs are like DDOS attacks to her.

Humph, this guy Ying doesn’t even know how to upgrade himself to dual thread.

I'm the eldest wife, it's not like I won't give you some soup. Is it necessary for me to worry so much?

Seeing Xie Yan looking at her, she came back to her senses and asked in a calm tone: "How did the discussion go?"

The general tried her best to pretend that she was listening to the report carefully. This was a skill she had developed over the years. She ensured that she looked dignified. Only Xie Yan had seen her childlike innocent and cute expression. She didn't mind showing her truest side to Xie Yan.

His cold and noble eyes swept around, and the officials present were all shocked. They couldn't help but sigh at the general's calmness. Even His Highness Xie Yan looked embarrassed just now.

General Thunder, the eternal God!

The corner of Xie Yan's mouth twitched slightly. He thought to himself that he and the general knew each other well, so he could naturally see that she was pretending to be majestic.

But in front of outsiders, he naturally had to maintain the general's dignity, and said in a deep voice: "There are some problems with Inazuma's finances, and we need to use the private treasury to solve them. General, what do you think we should do?"

"Private storehouse?" The general's eyes were filled with doubt. She never cared about these things, but suddenly she remembered what Hua Sanli said some time ago, and said thoughtfully: "Although some of the private storehouse should be kept as an emergency, isn't 80% of it my dowry? You can decide for yourself."

After the words fell, Matsuura Kyouhei and others were stunned. The general's private storehouse turned out to be a dowry? No wonder the general hinted to everyone at the evaluation office last time. It turned out that the two princes had already agreed on the marriage.

His Highness Xie Yan, this is too outrageous. He actually wants such a high dowry?

They all knew that Xie Yan was from Liyue, and as the general was the stronger party, this dowry was equivalent to a gift, but in their impression, wasn't the gift a fixed amount? Why did it become a percentage of damage for Xie Yan?

Paimon's little eyes reflected Mora's light. If she had known this earlier, she would have asked Yingmei to ask for a gift as well. As for the dowry, wouldn't it be enough to just give something casually?

Yingmei wouldn't send her away, would she? She and Yingmei were as close as sisters.

Xie Yan was calmer. He only needed to fill up the monthly recharge limit. The extra Mora was just a number to him. When the general spoke, Xie Yan immediately ordered: "Matsuura Kyohei, you allocate some funds to the club magistrate. I will find a way to replenish the private treasury later."
