"Well, boss, have you encountered any difficulties these days?"

After almost finishing her meal, Bai Zhi asked the stall owner.

"Difficulties?" The stall owner thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't encountered any difficulties. Everything has been good recently. If I have to say something, it's probably because the price of spices has gone up."

"But it's not a big deal. I just heard that it's a bit difficult to sail on the sea recently, so it will be troublesome to transport spices. That's why the price has increased a little. It's not a big deal."

"Oh, that's good. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to report it to the General Affairs Department."

Bai Zhi nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, but with a god like the Emperor leading Liyue, everything will surely be fine in Liyue."

"Haha, no one is perfect, and neither is God. You don't have to praise me like that."

"Really, this is definitely what everyone in Liyue thinks, uh... except Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall."

Hearing the boss's words, Bai Zhi laughed out loud.

"Emperor, don't mind what I said. I just said it casually. Mr. Zhongli is actually quite good, but his way of looking at things is a little different from ours. It's probably the kind of show-off that cultured people have. They have to think that they have a different understanding."

"It's okay, I don't care about these things. Boss, make good food. I'm leaving first."

Bai Zhi waved her hand.

"Go slowly, Emperor."

The boss said quickly.

Before leaving, Bai Zhi looked at a corner behind her thoughtfully.

After Baizhi left, the fox priestess and the blue-haired woman with double horns came out from the corner and strolled to the stall.

"Ah, so Ying likes to eat these. I'll make this for her next time."

The witch took out a small notepad and wrote on it. The notepad was already filled with many words, which were the names and methods of cooking some delicious foods.

"Boss, give me a portion of this Central Plains mixed vegetables~"

After sitting down, the witch shouted, and the blue-haired girl took out a notebook.

"The Emperor and Lord Thunder God ate the Central Plains offal today...and the reviews were quite good."

"Sister Ganyu, there's no need to write so carefully."

The Son of God looked at Ganyu with a smile.

"No, these are all very important. The Emperor's deeds in Liyue must be recorded in history books. Moreover, such a major event as the Emperor inviting the General to come to Liyue for help must be recorded."

"The spirit of Liyue lies in the inheritance of history. Only with history to rely on can people who will enjoy these benefits in the future know that these things are the result of the joint efforts of the Emperor, the General, and the Grass God."

.......

Holding the Thunder Cat, Bai Zhi came to the port of Liyue, where construction was already going on in full swing, with a pillar being erected at a high place.

This is a base station created by scholars from the Institute of the Church and Nashida at the suggestion of Baizhi, which can be used to transmit signals.

Although the server and the final receiving terminal are still under research, with Nashida and Ying, two big Cs in artificial intelligence and programming, these fields are progressing very quickly, and it can be said that they are advancing by leaps and bounds.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Liyue's void terminal can be created, and by the way, robots that can help people be more efficient will also be available.

"Well... Next, let's find a way to go to Fontaine, the Water Country."

Bai Zhi thought so while looking at the ships floating on the water.

177 Zhongli: Don’t learn from Furniture

"Lord Ningguang, the water veins in Liyue have been abnormally dry recently. Do you think we should report this to the Emperor?"

In the Qun Yu Pavilion, the secretary walked cautiously to Ning Guang and said.

Hearing this, Ningguang frowned, "I remember that there were already signs of this when the Emperor went on a diplomatic mission to Inazuma, right?"

The secretary nodded. "Yes, at that time, the water veins had already dropped a little, but we speculated at the time that it might be due to seasonal changes."

"But the situation has become more serious recently. Water sources in some places are on the verge of drying up."

“Have you found the source of the problem?”

Ningguang did not answer the secretary's idea of ​​reporting to Baizhi, but instead asked.

"After recent investigations by the Qianyan Army, we discovered that water veins in many places are flowing into the sea, and the flow rate is much faster than normal. It seems that there is something in the sea that is attracting the water veins."

"We speculate that it may be caused by the remnants of the demon god, but usually this kind of situation is handled by the immortals. We..."

The secretary didn't say what came next, because the meaning was very clear. The Qianyan Army had dealt with the remnants of the Demon God before, but they just didn't have much experience in dealing with them.

"Um...."

Ningguang fell into deep thought. She recalled what Baizhi had said to Qixing a few days ago.

"In the future, Liyue will be ruled by people, not gods. People should have their own strength and ability to act. If a person hides under the wings of his parents, he will never grow up."

"Just like an eagle, no matter how much it loves its young, its offspring must eventually learn to fly on their own. So, go for it boldly. Even if you really can't do it, you'll always have experience."

Ningguang believed that if she really reported these abnormal situations to Baizhi, Baizhi would definitely take care of it.

After all, no matter what, Liyue is the Emperor's child, and it is impossible for her to ignore life and death.

But would that really disappoint the Emperor?

The people of Liyue have been blessed by the Emperor for so many years. Compared with the offline monarch system of the Wind God next door, or the chaotic situation of Inazuma, the Emperor has laid a very solid foundation for Liyue. If we bother her with everything, what's the difference between us and a child who never grows up?

Besides, the people of Qixing and Liyue also want to prove themselves.

“Don’t report this matter to the immortals and emperors yet. In ancient times, the Qianyan Army and the ancestors of Liyue had already launched a crusade against the demon god. Now that Liyue has been at peace for a long time, it is time to hone itself.”

"Convey my order. Go down and have the General Affairs Department cooperate with the Qianyan Army to manufacture elemental weapons. By the way, notify Beidou and tell her not to set sail yet. Instead, let the Death Star cruise in the waters near Liyue. This will give us enough time to react."

"Gather the folk alchemists and other talented people with traditional Chinese medical traditions. After ensuring the resources from the research institute, concentrate other forces to develop weapons with sufficient offensive power. Funding is not a problem."

After thinking for a moment, Ningguang decisively issued a series of orders.

Although it may sound disrespectful to say it, Ningguang has always had a hidden worry in her heart, that is, even gods will die. So far, only the three gods of wind, rock and thunder are the original gods, and the gods of other countries are no longer the original existences.

Even the Emperor has recently undergone a transformation.

The Emperor's invincible military power can certainly bring stability and happiness to Liyue, but once something goes wrong with the Emperor, the pattern of everything happening at once will have terrible consequences.

With the Emperor's intelligence and wisdom, he must have thought of this problem, so he tried to delegate power.

"Yes, Lord Ningguang." The secretary bowed slightly and then walked out quickly.

Ningguang stood up, looked out the window, and sighed slightly, "I hope that this time, Liyue's performance will satisfy the Emperor."

"Mr. Zhongli, I heard that Fontaine's business is also well developed, and it has made great achievements in shipping. I wonder if we should go to Fontaine to visit it."

In Xinyuexuan, Bai Zhi took a sip of tea and said.

"Fontaine? The technology there is indeed very advanced. I knew it when I was in the Order of the Lords. Many scholars would cooperate with the merchants in Fontaine. The laws there are also very complete. It is said that the God of Water is also a very interesting person."

On the table, Nashida blinked and told the information she knew.

"Well, Fontaine is indeed a good place. Even if Inazuma is blocked, they will enter Inazuma through various channels and bring some novel gadgets."

"In terms of innovation, they do have a lot to learn from. At least, in terms of quality of life, they are much better than Inazuma."

The Thunder Cat squatted on a tall chair and licked his paws and said.

"Thanks to the Emperor's kindness, I am allowed to speak here. If you ask for my opinion, then I think there is no problem in visiting Fontaine."

"Many people came to Fontaine from Liyue. The god there, Funina, is known as the god of justice. She is also the queen of all waters, all directions, all peoples, and all laws. Although the people who returned to Liyue from Fontaine had mixed opinions about this god."

"Some people think that this Funina lacks the majesty of a god, while others think that Funina is very close to the people and can bring joy to everyone."

"But apart from these, I don't recommend learning Funina's way of governance..."

Zhongli hesitated for a moment before saying this.

Although Furninna is stronger than the offline monarch system like Venti, she is not much stronger.

If one does not have the talent to govern, this is a useful method, to serve as a qualified mascot and military support.

But from what he could see, Baizhi’s ability to govern far surpassed most gods, and she could definitely make Liyue great again.

Then this mascot way of governing is not suitable.

What he feared most was that Baizhi would see this way of governing and find it easy, and then learn it.

After all, as a god, with the guarantee of strength, he will not be truly undermined.

"Of course, her way of governing is not bad, but it is not suitable for every place. As far as I know, Funina is more of a symbolic presence."

Zhongli considered his words and said.

"Yeah, of course I know that, but Fontaine also has things worth learning from. If you want to be a qualified god, you should at least travel to various countries."

Bai Zhi said with a smile.

178 I am a mysterious businessman

"Then Villette, why are you a little absent-minded?"

On the promenade of Fontaine, Funina asked Navelette curiously.

"From the beginning, you have been looking over there frequently. Is your intuition as the Supreme Judge telling you that there is a criminal over there?"

"No....there is no criminal, but that kid over there always feels a little special."

That Villette pointed to a place where many people gathered, which looked like a job fair.

Hearing this, Finina looked in the direction that Villette pointed with some confusion. She looked for a long time but still couldn't see anything.

"Is there anything strange over there? A child from Liyue. The clothes she's wearing are quite pretty. It can be used as a reference for the costumes of the Liyue character in the next play. But speaking of which, what race is she to have such a double role?"

Finina was a little puzzled. There were many races in this world, such as the orc family of the Katzlein family, or monsters, immortals, and even demons.

Generally speaking, ordinary non-human bloodlines are very common, such as cat ears and fox ears, but people like Bai Zhi, whose double horns on their heads look more like a jade-colored race, are something she, who has 500 years of experience, has never seen before.

But if it was just because of this, she didn't care. After all, Teyvat was so big and she had never seen a Fontaine before. It was not very strange to see some races that she had never seen before.

"I don't know either. I've never seen a similar race with such characteristics." That Villette also shook his head.

"You don't know either? Never mind. It's not important. Let me see what's written on these signs. Hmm... Liyue is recruiting a large number of mechanical talents, and the treatment is excellent?"

"Is this child the daughter of some guild from Liyue?"

This was Funina's first reaction. Due to the prosperity of Fontaine, there were many businessmen who came here to hire workers and engineers. It could be said that it was very common.

"Forget it, it's not important anyway. We still have a lot of things to do in Villette and Momang Palace. Let's finish the cake and go back."

Furninna shook her head, then picked up the small cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

"This girl...smells like a dragon."

That Villette took a sip of coffee and said thoughtfully.

"Dragon? Wait, what kind of dragon are you talking about?"

Funina was stunned for a moment. Dragons were not rare creatures. After all, there were too many dragon-like creatures in this world. The ancient rock dragon lizard could be said to be a dragon, the deep-sea dragon lizard could also be said to be a dragon, and the Rock God of Liyue could also be a dragon.

Even the Supreme Judge of Fontaine next to him was a dragon.

The difference in strength between different dragons is huge, even greater than the difference between humans and dogs.

"It's not a dragon lizard, but a real dragon. I can feel that the power of fire is very active in her. She is definitely not an ordinary person. It's just... does Liyue have such a creature? A dragon that controls fire."

"Ah... How terrifying! A dragon that controls fire is simply our natural nemesis."

Hearing this, Funina shuddered all over.

"Aren't you the God of Water? Even if she is a dragon, what are you afraid of? Fire and water restrain each other. As the ruler, can't you defeat her?"

"Ahaha, who said that? I'm just afraid that a fight will break out in the city and affect the people. As the Queen of Waters, I have to consider the safety of the people, don't I?"

Fernina was still stubborn, but Villette nodded easily and believed what Fernina said.
