The people were collapsing the iron, giving the immortal boat a little shock to the Holy Lord

However, he was not particularly opposed to this invitation, mainly because the other party replaced his position as emperor. Although the other party seemed to be very organized now, he might do something stupid someday, and he could take precautions at that time.

After all, under the influence of time, there are many demons who go mad due to wear and tear.

Moreover, he has now decided to be an ordinary person. He should just do what ordinary people should do when faced with such a situation.

"I'm very happy to have Mr. Zhongli join us. Sister Keqing, let's continue on our way, and by the way, let's discuss whether Liyue needs my help with anything."

"Oh, by the way, there is also this Hall Master Hu, do you want to come with us?"

"Me?" Hu Tao pointed at herself and smiled. "Of course I am willing. This is a good opportunity for advertising. If people see me walking with the Emperor, it will be so prestigious. In the future, when I advertise, I can say that the Emperor values ​​us and we are handling the funeral. That will be even more blessed."

".....Master Hu has a good business sense."

What else can Baizhi say? She can only give a thumbs up.

It must be said that although Hu Tao is a little eccentric, Bai Zhi really admires her. She is not afraid of anything, but is bold and careful. She can seize every opportunity to create benefits for herself. These are the qualities that a qualified businessman should possess.

If it were anyone else, even Keqing, they wouldn't dare to say so carelessly in front of her that they wanted to use her to gain more benefits.

"That's right. I'm a business genius. I've been wanting to go to Inazuma recently. If I could meet the general, maybe I could convince him to let Wangshengtang be the designated funeral agency there."

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, very pleased with herself, "Although this hall master is very talented, this is only for the sake of the staff of the Wangsheng Hall to have a salary, especially for the guest official like Zhongli, who spends money like water."

"Sometimes, I feel like Zhongli Keqing is the boss and I am the one working to earn money."

"Ahem, there's no need to say so much, Master. Besides, I have reasons for spending money."

Zhongli coughed and interrupted Hu Tao's words. Although he didn't have much idea about the amount of money Mora had, he did occasionally hear Hu Tao complain that he spent too much money.

"Is the funding of the Wangsheng Hall so tight?" Keqing asked curiously. "As I recall, the Wangsheng Hall is the funeral organization that monopolizes Liyue. Although there are many private small funeral teams in Liyue, when it comes to holding a decent funeral, it is basically the Wangsheng Hall that does it."

"Well, ordinary funerals are naturally not expensive, and we don't make much money. After all, they are all civilian services. It's mainly those high-end funerals that we promote, and that's where the big money is..."

"Okay, let's stop talking about funerals. There seems to be a restaurant in front. Is it called Wanmin Hall? Let's go and try it."

Baizhi interrupted Keqing and Hutao's conversation and pointed to the popular restaurant in front.

Unlike the small shop in the game that can't even seat three people, the real Wanmin Hall is really big, and feels like a suburban food stall on Earth. The aroma of food constantly spreads from there in all directions.

125 Baizhi: Liyue needs to develop technology

"What do you want to eat? Hey, Master Hu, you're here. Do you still want boiled black bass?"

Xiangling appeared, wearing cool clothes but surprisingly not at all shy.

"Dangdangdang, look, Xiangling, who did I bring you?"

Hu Tao ran to Xiang Ling enthusiastically, then pointed at Bai Zhi and said, "Look, a freshly made live advertisement."

"Ah? Who is this friend?"

Xiangling looked at Hutao hesitantly, then at Baizhi, her face full of question marks.

As the chef of Wanmin Hall, Xiangling has always been very busy, so she did not attend this year's ceremony to invite the immortals, and she did not know about Baizhi's situation.

"Huh, you didn't know?" Walnut was a little surprised.

Xiang Ling shook her head. "I don't know. I've been too busy lately and really don't have the energy to care about anything else."

“Was the Manmin Church this busy before?”

Hu Tao looked around and couldn't help but say, "Why are there so many people? Could it be that Wanmintang has introduced some new dishes? It seems that Xiangling is going to get rich."

Hearing this, Xiangling couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, it's because Wanmintang has a discount, so it attracted so many people."

"Is it because of the invitation to the Immortal Ceremony?" Keqing asked curiously. She had been to Wanmin Hall several times. The food here was indeed good and the price was low.

The most recent thing that could get Wanmin Hall a discount was probably the invitation to the Immortal Ceremony.

Baizhi also looked at Xiangling with a slightly inquiring look.

Xiangling did not hide it and pointed to a shop across the street that was being renovated.

"You see, there is a store being renovated over there."

Everyone followed Xiangling's instructions and looked over. They saw a restaurant with an exotic style being renovated in full swing. At the entrance of the restaurant, a large sign had been put up, which read: Fontaine Specialty Fast Food Restaurant.

"Fontaine fast food restaurant? I remember that the food at Fontaine is not bad, but it is not really suitable for the taste of Liyue people. Xiangling, are you so worried? They even lowered the price to deal with it."

Hu Tao spread her hands in confusion. It was not like she had not eaten cuisine from other countries, but as a country of great food and a port country, Liyue far surpassed other countries in terms of the richness and cooking methods of its food.

As the most prestigious civilian restaurant in Liyue Harbor, is Wanmintang necessary to respond in this way?

Bai Zhi shook her head. "Perhaps we should pay attention to the various facilities in that fast food restaurant. Those should be automatic machines, right?"

Xiangling looked at Baizhi in surprise and agreed, "This little sister is right. Those things are indeed Fontaine machines. I heard from them that they have undergone energy transformation. These machines can be taken out of Fontaine."

"But this is not the most important thing. Their food is made by such machines, without the need for human hands. Moreover, the food is made with various standard things and only requires very simple steps, such as frying it, before it can be taken out and sold."

"What a brilliant idea." Bai Zhi nodded. As expected of Fontaine, it can be seen from the game that the technology is very advanced.

It would be unreasonable for no one to want to apply this advanced technology to the outside world. However, the store opposite provides standardized fast food and mechanized production, which perfectly meets all the requirements of modern catering.

"Yes, it's amazing. They work without sleep and can supply food all day long. This is beyond our human power. Their boilers are even made of alchemical tools, while we still use firewood to cook."

Xiangling also agreed with Baizhi's conclusion. As a chef, how could she not see how amazing this was?

"But, things made like this have no soul, they are just cold machines. I am not interested in them anyway." Walnut curled her lips and expressed her disdain for this thing.

"Not necessarily, Master Hu. Don't reject this at the beginning. Think about it, if we have this machine, there will be someone standing guard at the entrance of your Wangsheng Hall 24 hours a day to receive guests, or to help the employees of the Wangsheng Hall do some physical work."

Baizhi interrupted Hu Tao's words and expressed her own thoughts.

She knew that the laws of this world did not allow technology to overdevelop, but since Fontaine had developed to that level without any problems, it meant that under moderate circumstances, it would not lead to the destruction of Liyue.

Technology is obviously the primary productive force, and it is necessary for Liyue to develop some related technology trees.

Fontaine's technology has developed to that level, but Liyue is still the richest among the Seven Kingdoms. Bai Zhi guessed that it was probably because the right to mint coins was in Liyue.

Mora, as a precious metal, is also a consumable with a similar status to oil in a general sense. It is a natural currency. With the Golden House, the central bank of the seven countries that can continuously produce Mora, it is no surprise that Liyue is still the richest country even though its productivity level is not high.

But to be honest, this living standard is still a bit lacking.

Since he was already the Rock King, it might be a good idea to visit Fontaine, pay a visit to Fu Fu, and introduce some technical talent.

"Xiangling, if you had a boiler that could easily adjust the firepower, wouldn't it be easier to cook?"

"We can even learn from the fast food restaurants over there. We can develop standardized food and bring the food you developed to more people. It might also be cheaper."

"There's a mechanical guard at the door to greet you...it seems really good."

After hearing Baizhi's story, Hutao's eyes lit up, and Xiangling also felt a little moved.

She is not a conservative person. When it comes to food ingredients and cooking methods, she has always been at the forefront of the world's trends.

When she first saw the alchemical props at the Fontaine fast food restaurant, she asked if they were for sale, but the answer she got was always no.

"But those alchemical tools are not for sale. I heard from them that they have some patents..."

Xiangling thought about it and told him the information she knew.

"Yes, that's right, patents. You can't use the same technology to counterfeit. We in Liyue also recognize this patent treaty."

Keqing confirmed it from the side.

Bai Zhi scratched her head. "Well... in a country as big as Liyue, there must be someone who is good at mechanical things. At worst, we can use other routes to achieve the same effect."

"Good at mechanics... It seems that there really is one. Master once mentioned that there is an immortal, Master Jiefeng Liuyun, who is very good at mechanics. How about we go find the immortal?"

Xiangling's eyes lit up and she said.

126 About the transformation of the majestic me into a little loli

"Yes, that woman, for sure."

Bai Zhi was slightly stunned. The immortal who was good at mechanical engineering mentioned by Xiangling was probably only her, who was also good at chatting with Zhenjun.

"Emperor, do you have any ideas?"

Keqing saw Bai Zhi lost in thought and asked curiously.

"Hmm... I was just imagining the future of Liyue. Sister Keqing, can I ask, Liyue's business is so developed, is it because Liyue itself has many advantages?"

Keqing shook her head. "Liyue has its own advantages, but compared to the Seven Kingdoms, they are actually not that many. We have many specialties that can help us trade. However, the most important thing is the Golden House."

"With the Golden House, a huge Mora production organization, we Liyue people can earn extremely high incomes. If we only talk about civilian technology, we are not as good as Fontaine and Winter."

“As expected…”

Bai Zhi confirmed this from Keqing's answer. Thanks to the special ruling structure of this world, the real leaders of the seven countries are the seven gods. As the highest combat power of each country on the surface, the existence of gods has effectively curbed the expansion desire of each country.

Otherwise, with such advanced technology as Fontaine and Winter Solstice, how could they resist expanding?

Of course, there is also the reason that Mora, a currency that combines the properties of oil and precious metals, can be produced continuously.

If everyone used credit currency like on Earth, it would be difficult for Liyue to develop to this level. At least it is outrageous that the average income is higher than that of Fontaine.

"Well, let's do one thing first, develop something related to machinery, and then... go to other countries with advanced related technologies. From what I remember, Xumi seems to be a good one. Maybe the scholars there can help us develop a lot of interesting things."

"Well, I'll record it."

Keqing took out a small notebook, then a pen, and began to write down everything Bai Zhi had just said.

After recording everything, Keqing said, "Emperor, I have also visited Fontaine and found that the people there have a very good standard of living. Are you doing this to improve the living standards of Liyue?"

Bai Zhi nodded. "Yes, although I don't remember many things, I still remember that the technology in Fontaine is very advanced, and the people of Liyue also need to enjoy it. I think the time for change has come. Sister Keqing, are you willing to join me?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Keqing's eyes were suddenly filled with light. She had always kept these words in her heart but had never expressed them out loud.

But now, the Emperor actually said the same thing.

She suddenly felt that what she had thought before, that the Emperor was a bit conservative, or that the idea of ​​rule by man was a bit too superficial.

Look at the Emperor. Although he has lost a lot of memories, his thoughts are still so sharp.

Although Liyue is stable, the Seven Kingdoms have long lost their enterprising spirit. Even though the Golden House, the central bank of the Seven Kingdoms, is here, people still yearn for better enjoyment and material life.

She had been to Fontaine and knew the productivity there. They produced things quickly and well, and iterated quickly.

There, even in the blacksmith shop, machines are running automatically, but Liyue is still hammering slowly by hand.

If Liyue does not catch up, then this largest commercial port will probably slowly decline.

[Ding, your words convinced Keqing, gaining spell points]

The system prompt popped up at the right time, but Bai Zhi remained calm.

"Wait....Emperor?"

Xiangling, who had been listening to the entire conversation, couldn't help but speak out. She had been full of questions for a while, but since the conversation between Baizhi and Keqing was a bit abstruse, she strongly suppressed the urge to speak out.

But now it was obvious that the conversation between the two sides had reached a certain stage, so she expressed her doubts.

"Hehehe, that's right, she is the Emperor. Xiangling may not know that the Emperor transformed and became like this, and also lost a lot of memories."

"How about this advertising sign I bought for you? It's pretty good, isn't it? Then, Wanmin Hall can say that it has been patronized by the Emperor, which will definitely help take the business to the next level."

Kurumi said proudly, with her hands on her hips.

Xiangling didn't know what to say. Her friend was really bold. She had kidnapped the Emperor... No, she had brought him here, and she even said that she would use the Emperor as a signboard to attract popularity. Wasn't this too...

Are you really not afraid of the Emperor's blame?

Thinking of this, Xiangling secretly glanced at Baizhi and found that Baizhi was not angry, but was looking around with interest.

Noticing Xiangling's gaze, Baizhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a petty person. Besides, as long as the food is delicious, I won't hesitate to praise you."

"I'll go cook right away, Emperor, please wait here!"

Xiang Ling didn't say much, and immediately ran back to the kitchen excitedly, shouting, "Dad, the Emperor is here to eat our food, come and help me, I want to show my best cooking skills!"

This shout immediately attracted the attention of others, and they all looked towards Bai Zhi.

It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it.

"Emperor, it's the Emperor after his transformation, so... so cute!!"

There was a girl from Liyue looking at Baizhi with little stars in her eyes.

As we all know, people in Liyue are either fans of the Emperor or distorted fans of the Emperor. Before, most people's impression of the Emperor was that he was quite majestic.
