"Oh? You should know that I am in charge of the Kande Bugyofu in accordance with the will of the general, and it seems that I don't need help from others."

Qianli smiled faintly: "That's true, but testing each other, running in with each other, promoting and suppressing, these things will waste a lot of your energy. I think you care more about improving your martial arts than these."

Xie Yan's eyes fixed, and he looked Qianli up and down seriously.

The last time they met, although Qianli was also considering the family, to be honest, Xie Yan felt that she was too naive and thought that everything could be solved by talking. But now he can see the essence of the problem at a glance.

But this is normal. A person's growth is often due to changes in the environment. If the family encounters a disaster and remains the same as before, then there is really no hope.

"So, what do you plan to do after entering the shogunate? From what I gather, your father doesn't want you to get involved in politics."

"I know what my father thinks, but this is the result of my careful consideration. Besides, I will not waste time with politicians. If you are willing to give me a chance, I plan to engage in the trade of dyes, clothing and luxury goods, and go to Liyue and Mondstadt to open branches to promote the Inazuma-related industries. Don't worry, I have studied these products in various countries, and I have also been involved in the dye business in Konda Village for some time."

This made Xie Yan very happy. Qianli was not the kind of person who acted impulsively. He had a certain theoretical and practical foundation to come up with this idea.

When the lockdown is lifted, Inazuma will indeed need to send many people to open up trade routes or branches. Xie Yan has also made some preparations. For example, when he arrives in Liyue and Xumi, he plans to open a weapon store that specializes in selling high-end weapons such as 3-star and 4-star weapons to make a lot of money.

As for why he didn't open one in Inazuma... Xie Yan also wanted to, but the warriors in Inazuma were so poor that they couldn't afford it at all. He could lower the price, but he couldn't give it away for free, right?

Although the aristocracy has the money to buy it, most people would probably just take care of the business based on his status as a magistrate. If things go wrong, the system might even judge it as bribery. With so many constraints here, it would be better to go abroad to make peace of mind.

In fact, he had this plan after learning about Yingmei from Beidou, and even wanted to make Yingmei the brand spokesperson.

After all, making money by doing commissions is too slow and time-consuming. If it weren't for Inazuma's isolation, he would have gone to other countries to sell knives long ago.

From Inazuma to Sumeru, buddy made a lot of money!

In short, Qianli's idea was good, so Xie Yan nodded and agreed: "Since this is the result you have considered, I will recommend you to the general, but the premise is that you must do the job well."

Qianli couldn't hide his excitement after hearing this, and bowed deeply to Xie Yan to thank him: "Qianli will not let you down!"

"So, how are you going to help me unify these old subordinates?"

"They dare not go against your will, but from what I know about them, they will try to test your preferences during this period and use their own means to compete for the top spot. Since you don't want to waste time with them, the best way is to keep everything as it is."

"How to say?"

"I will help explain your ideas to them. With my status, I can save you from unnecessary temptations on both sides. After all, they are vested interests. Even if they cannot rise, it will be beneficial to everyone if they keep the status quo."

Xie Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Although Shinsuke left him the means to control these families, he didn't want to stay on the outlying island for the rest of his life. As long as it could operate normally, it would be fine. However, it was necessary to pay attention to foreign trade.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Qianli seemed to be hesitant to talk, but still left.

In fact, she was worried that Xie Yan didn't trust her, and had prepared for the worst-case scenario of "sacrificing herself", but she didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly.

From her perspective, not sacrificing oneself to the enemy seemed to be a good thing, but she inexplicably felt it was a pity.

The door closed and Xie Yan withdrew his gaze.

He didn't think too much about it. He simply didn't like dealing with politicians. After being busy these two days, the most comfortable time for him was either holding the Son of God, fighting with General Lei Dian, or feeding Ying Hanhan.

As for Qianli, how should I put it? If she wanted to offer to sacrifice herself, Xie Yan would not refuse to inject her with patriotic genes, but taking the initiative to ask others to sacrifice themselves seemed a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

After she left, Xie Yan walked around his house.

Although some things have been replaced here, both the design style and the furniture are of high quality. The big bed that he is most concerned about is actually about the same size as the "dragon bed" and can accommodate seven or eight people. It can be used for parties... ahem, it should be very good for meetings.

Damn, who prepared such a big bed for him?

But now that things had come to this, Xie Yan had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

If the Son of God came to the island, Xie Yan planned to entertain her here.

After going out, he found that there was a small garden behind the house. Looking up, he saw the statue of the Seven Gods on the outlying island. Xie Yan walked forward and set it as the teleportation point for Inazuma.

When the statue is activated in Liyue, Xie Yan plans to try using the Chengge pot for cross-border transportation. If he can pass the system's judgment, he will have no problem exchanging the drawings of curry sticks in the future.

But it's still early now and he still has worldly affairs to deal with.

Arriving at the meeting room, Xie Yan got to know several of his old family members. The civil servants were mainly Hishida, Yagi and others. These people had also appeared in the legendary mission of Big Brother-in-law. They did have a lot of little tricks. Fortunately, Qianli was there to help, so both sides avoided unnecessary temptations.

The situation on the military officer's side was surprisingly simple. The positions of the Kanjo Bugyo samurai were divided into Ashigaru and Bantou. For example, Sasaki, who exposed Shinsuke's dirt last time, was a senior Bantou.

Xie Yan met with the remaining several bantou. He thought that the process of provoking, showing off, and establishing authority would follow the routine novel process. However, as soon as he walked over, even the most arrogant Ebina Gonshiro bowed his head.

"Everyone serves you because of your status as a magistrate, but I, Quan Shilang, am not the kind of person who clings to the powerful!" He said with his head held high, and then changed the subject: "I decided to serve you because I admire your character and bravery. From today on, I will be your most loyal subordinate!"

Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Xie Yan's reputation among the warriors had indeed reached its peak, and there was no need to resort to any combination of kindness and force.

After meeting with the employees of the Kanjo Bugyofu, Xie Yan toured the outlying islands and had a friendly conversation with the president of the International Chamber of Commerce, Hisarisu, hinting to him that the isolation order would be lifted soon, which appeased these foreign businessmen.

There were still many such tasks that he needed to do personally. It was already noon the next day when he finished. He even forgot to ask Rosaline why she was not on the island. In the end, Qianli told him that she disappeared on the day of the martial arts competition.

73 Inazuma, Mondstadt, Liyue

At first, Xie Yan was very surprised where Rosaline had gone, but then he thought that she must have seen Shinsuke and others being liquidated, and was worried that he would report the Fatui to Lei Film, so she took the opportunity to slip away.

This is completely different from the original plot where the lady rushed into the castle tower and confronted General Raiden head-on, but this is normal. Venti can be said to have voluntarily given away the Heart of God, and Zhongli gave her face because of the contract. Ying doesn't owe the lady anything. If the other party dared to be as arrogant as in the original plot, Ying would have killed her with a knife long ago.

"Wait... then she should be able to guess that the person currently in charge of the castle tower is not General Raiden. Why doesn't the doctor know this news?"

After a slight hesitation, Xie Yan quickly realized that the relationship between the Fatui executives was not good, and it would be abnormal if they enthusiastically exchanged information.

The lady pits the gentleman, the fox pits the lady, and the doctor pits the fox. This is enough to explain the problem.

Xie Yan is now curious about whether Rosaline has left Inazuma. If she leaves, and the Doctor comes out of Yuanxia Palace and is executed by Ying again, the Kingdom of Zhidong will have to send someone again if it wants to trade the Heart of God.

But it doesn't matter. The trade of the Heart of God is what the Kingdom of Winter is anxious about. Moreover, now it is their own fault. They can't blame others for the problem.

Xie Yan had no good face towards the Fatui anyway, and he also had a mission of revenge.

Rather than caring about the enemy, Xie Yan cared more about the invitation letter sent by Thomas.

Just now, Thomas rushed to the outlying island from Inazuma Castle.

He was also rather embarrassed because the person in charge of guarding the Kanjo Bugyofu today was Gonsiro Ebina. In order to show his loyalty, this guy used various procedures to interrogate Thomas. Fortunately, Thomas was careful and specially changed into the uniform of the magistrate and carried official documents when he went out today.

Xie Yan looked at him and saw that he was still covered in dust, so he couldn't help but ask, "Did you come here by land?"

"Well, Inazuma City is far away from the island, so I rushed here before dawn. Fortunately, I had Lei Ji to use, otherwise I would have to walk here and would probably arrive at night." Thomas spread his hands.

Xie Yan nodded slightly. This was indeed the case for ordinary people, so those who left the island to attend the assessment would set off one day in advance.

"You are dressed so formally today. Is it because Kamisato wants to discuss something with me?"

"Yes, the master of the family would like to invite you to Kamisato House to discuss the disposal of the island."

"Island? Didn't the General let the head of the Kamisato family make the decision himself?"

"The head of the family said that the island issue has a far-reaching impact. Tomorrow, he and you will both go to the island to take over. Discussing the policy of pacifying the people in advance will be very helpful for the subsequent work."

Calculating the time, tomorrow is indeed the time for handover, and Xie Yan will be able to bring a wife home.

The wife of a bandit leader is also a wife!

Unlike Qianli, Xinhai must be infused with Inazuma's patriotic genes.

"I see. Let's go now. We'll be there just in time for dinner."

I have been too busy recently. Last time I scared Linghua’s wife, Xie Yan didn’t even have a chance to talk to her. The same goes for Xiao Palace. I have no time to find her at all.

Now that the outlying island has been temporarily settled, Xie Yan can also travel around.

As they were talking, Xie Yan and Thomas walked out of the room.

But now, as one of the three magistrates, Xie Yan must consider others when doing things. Before leaving, he found Qianli and told her that he had to discuss important matters with Kamisato Ayato. If there were any emergencies, he could just come to the magistrate directly.

After finishing the instructions, Xie Yan and Thomas left the mansion.

"Captain Xie Yan... Sir Xie Yan's power is now completely different from before. No wonder you were able to withstand the two sword strikes from the general that were powerful enough to change the celestial phenomena." Thomas scratched his head awkwardly, "Oh, sorry, I just call you that out of habit."

Xie Yan smiled faintly: "In fact, it's not me who has changed. Although my martial arts have improved a bit, I am still a mortal after all. In the final analysis, it's just the change in identity that makes people feel nervous, just like you, Thomas... Do you think the tone of my voice is different from before?"

"Well, that's true." Thomas was not from Inazuma after all. Having grown up in Mondstadt, he quickly came to his senses: "After all, you are now the Lord of Kande Bugyo. Even if you still speak as usual, it will be completely different in the eyes of others."

"This is the psychological pressure that social identity brings to people. For example, if I were in Mondstadt, even if I were the husband of Captain Jean, the people of Mondstadt would not be afraid of me, but would only feel close to me, right?"

"Indeed, compared to Mondstadt, the hierarchy here at Inazuma is strict, and I have been influenced unconsciously. However, Mondstadt also has its shortcomings. The people of Mondstadt do live a carefree life, but the pressure is borne by a small number of people. Frankly speaking, I don't like this."

With Xie Yan helping him to resolve his emotional issues, Thomas felt much more relaxed when chatting and talked about his opinions about Mond, things he had never even said to Kamisato Ayato.

Xie Yan did not comment: "It is definitely wrong for a few people to carry the burden forward. Once a major crisis occurs, the contradictions will erupt... I will go to Liyue in a while to study their governance experience, and then let the general learn from it."

Thomas didn't dare to continue this topic. He couldn't say that the general should study hard, right?

Xie Yan could say this because of his special status. When the evaluation institute held a meeting yesterday, all the nobles in Inazuma City already knew that Xie Yan "slept on the dragon bed" and fed the general.

Hey, wait...

"Master Xie Yan, you said you were going to Liyue?"

"Yes, but I was just passing by. In fact, I want to go to Xumi. I want to take back what belongs to me."

The main quest had already indicated that the items were seized by the Order Institute, and also stated that it was a large-scale continuous quest. Xie Yan estimated that there was a high probability that he would have to fight with them.

In addition, he must work hard to get the Rinnegan. If he doesn't destroy the Order of the Lords, he won't be able to see Nashida's true form...Through the description of the task, Xie Yan guessed that the Teyvat continent version of the Rinnegan should involve manipulating the earth veins, that is, the authority of the World Tree. Its function is not as simple as rescuing people. It is something that must be obtained.

Thomas didn't know the details, but when he heard Xie Yan was leaving, he suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't told him yet.

"By the way, Mr. Xie Yan, Tianmu Youya found a collector named Nagato and wanted to buy a sword from him. I was just paying attention to him casually, but later I found that this person actually has the aura of a demon."

"Nagato... ahem, the breath of the evil spirit?"

"Yes, I saw it with the elemental vision. The aura is exactly the same as that on Bayun Island. I won't make a mistake."

.....

Kamisato Yashiki.

My eldest brother-in-law Kamisato Ayato sat at the desk. After all, the island was a different regime. This time, after swallowing up the island, the social minister in charge of people's livelihood had the heaviest workload.

For example, when it comes to universal education, many private school teachers would refuse when they hear about going to an island. One reason is that the island is remote and it is inconvenient to travel there, and the other is that they are worried about their personal safety.

Even though we know that the island is under the might of General Thunder, this kind of concern is inevitable. Fortunately, the solution is very simple: just pay more money.

After reviewing the documents on hand, Kamisato Ayato sorted out some materials and prepared to talk to Xie Yan after he arrived.

At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard, and I knew it was my younger sister Linghua without even looking.

"Linghua, I was looking for you too."

"Ah? Is it about the island? Brother, don't worry. You and Xie Yan will be there tomorrow. I'm just distributing daily necessities to the residents. There will be no danger."

"It's not about that, uh..."

Kamisato Ayato, who was always at ease, seemed a little clumsy at this moment, because he was not standing in the position of the head of the family, but a simple brother.

Hearing that his sister Linghua did not use honorifics to address Xie Yan like others did, and that there was expectation in her eyes when he mentioned Xie Yan, no matter how dumb he was, he could tell that something was wrong.

but--

Sister, Xie Yan’s water is too deep, you can’t control it!

74 The Brother-in-law Fainted from Anger

Frankly speaking, Xie Yanren is a good guy. If he is willing to marry into the Kamisato family, Ayato will not stop him. After all, it is time for her sister to get married.

资'源'群;;⒊'⒋'⒈.4.⒎.1,7;8;4.,用'中..群,⒌.⒎;0,2;9'6'3.4;4' 但谢言此时地位与自己相同,又和将军大人有如此亲密的关系,妹妹以后嫁过去万一吃了亏都没人能帮她。

But it was difficult for him to say this clearly. After all, Xie Yan was indeed an outstanding person. Even Lingren himself admired his bravery. It was normal for his sister to admire him.

This was just an ordinary girl's thought, and if she spoke out to stop it and made Linghua realize the need to discuss marriage, it would push things in an uncontrollable direction.

Seeing her brother's sudden change of tone, Kamisato Ayaka also felt uneasy.

She originally came to report on her work and mentioned the matter of getting closer to Xie Yan, but the conflict between her brother and Xie Yan seemed to be beyond her expectations.

This reminded her of the book "I Am a Son-in-Law" that she bought from Yaedo a few days ago. Although the plot was a bit ridiculous, it was unexpectedly addictive. Linghua even made up a line herself, "There is no place for you in this family!"

She has already sent this line to Yaedo, who replied saying that it will be used in the script for the next volume. The samurai protagonist in the book has left the Tenryo Bugyo and is about to become the son-in-law of the Shrine Bugyo.

But now it seems that my brother is going to become a villain? Forget it, when Xie Yan arrives, I will ask him privately what the conflict is between him and my brother, and then I will try to mediate it.

The brother and sister looked at each other and silently avoided the topic.

Kamisato Ayato said: "You should know that I have sent Thomas to invite Xie Yan, and we will attend together later."

"Well, although Xie Yan and I are very familiar with each other, after all, it is a negotiation and cooperation between two major parties, so we must show corresponding respect and courtesy."

Are you familiar with Xie Yan?

Kamisato Ayato felt that he had underestimated the situation. Could it be that Xie Yan had already successfully stolen the base? Why didn't he, the front tooth tower, see it?

But he certainly couldn't say this out loud, so he could only pretend nothing had happened and said, "Yes, some things may have different meanings to outsiders even if we don't care about them."

"Brother, I came to you because of the funding issue. I carefully compiled the list of items to be distributed tomorrow. Although everything is ready, the cost is very high. The funds of the club are not enough. Some items are purchased on credit."
