Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

Where there are walnuts, stories or accidents happen.

Niyu unfortunately met her, and the planned farewell date was naturally messed up into four people sitting at the same table.

Keqing met Zhongli at Wangshu Inn, but only then did she learn that he was serving as a guest at the Shengsheng Hall. The two parties had officially known each other socially.

According to Hu Tao, Zhongli's appointment was a decision made by her grandfather, the 75th generation hall master, before his death.

The Hall of Rebirth has always had a tradition of inviting erudite guests from all walks of life to provide story-telling, lectures and training for young ceremony attendants.

After listening to Zhongli's lecture, Hutao decided that he had found a treasure. From then on, he trusted Zhongli and would consult him on all important funeral matters.

In front of Niyu and Keqing, she did not hesitate to praise Zhongli.

"My Zhongli is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the past and present. He is simply a walking encyclopedia. In terms of knowledge, I think no one in the entire Liyue Port can match him."

That's right, I have always admired this man's memory...

Niyu thought to himself.

Keqing didn't believe it and couldn't help asking a few questions about Liyue Port.

Zhongli naturally responded fluently.

Keqing immediately said in admiration: "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable... I wonder what you think of the current expansion of Liyue Port?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "It is said that when Liyue Port was founded, Emperor Yan and the immortals led the Liyue people to repair the terrain and dredge the water veins. It took a hundred years of construction to complete it."

"During the ensuing Demon God War, Tianheng Mountain collapsed for a time. It was Yixiao Guide Tianzun who used his antlers to prop up Tianheng Mountain and protect Liyue Port."

"After that, another big demon came from the sea. The emperor led the immortals to fight against it in Yunlaihai, and used rock spears to suppress the demons, forming today's Guyun Pavilion."

"It should be said that for Liyue in the old days, survival has always been the top priority. Whether it is Tianheng Mountain or Yunlaihai, they are all lines of defense for Liyue Port."

"Now, thousands of years have passed since the Demon God War. The former defense line has now become an obstacle to the development of the city..."

Zhongli's magnetic voice had a sense of vicissitudes, as if it brought everyone present back to the ancient times thousands of years ago, and even the most out-of-touch Hutao fell silent.

Zhongli slowly put away his memory, smiled at Keqing and said: "You asked me what I think about the expansion of Liyue Port... I don't have any opinion. It's just that all the layout of Liyue Port has deep considerations. It is the result of thousands of years of time testing. I hope Yuhengxing can carefully consider it before making any changes."

Keqing nodded, then shook her head, "I think times have changed. For Liyue, survival is no longer the top priority, development is. But I understand what you mean, sir, and I will focus on safety issues. of."

"So good."

The two had different opinions, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little awkward.

Fortunately, Hu Tao was very good at livening up the atmosphere and took the topic elsewhere with a few words, thus easing the awkwardness.

After finishing their meal, Niwa and Keqing said goodbye to Zhongli and Hutao politely and walked side by side silently along the street.

When they came to the lotus pond at Tiger Rock, Keqing suddenly asked: "Niyu, do you think there are really loopholes in our plan?"

Niyu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When we were saying goodbye, this was what I was thinking about. You are truly worthy of me!

He sighed softly and said, "Don't you always believe that as long as you feel that you are right, you should speak out loudly and act resolutely?"

"That's true, but..."

"Security and development are two sides of the same mora. What you should think about is how to balance the two and make the mora stand stably, rather than trying to completely eliminate one of them... In that case, the mora will be No longer exists.”

Keqing took a long breath and smiled, "You're right! To be honest, I just assumed the position of Yuheng and had to be responsible for such a big project. I felt quite unsure... but you always seem to be able to make it happen." I feel at ease!"

As she said that, she suddenly blushed, hugged Niyu gently, and said in his ear: "You... come back soon!"

After a slight touch, she immediately turned and ran away.

Sniffing the fragrance on the tip of his nose, Niyu stood there for a long time until a slight cough came from behind him.

He quickly turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Emperor...Mr. Zhongli."

Zhongli nodded slightly and took the lead, "Come for a walk with me."

Niyu hurriedly followed, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Keqing is still young and wants to make a career. Please don't blame me for any offense."

Zhong Li smiled at him, "Actually, I quite admire her. It's because of people like her that I would consider... Well, Ning Guang has reported your plan to me. Do you have anything to do with financial reform?" How sure are you? How long does it take to complete the plan?"

Niwa considered his words and said slowly: "Well, to be on the safe side, it is better to delay it longer... It will take about a year to let everyone get used to using bonds for large transactions, and then start to issue national bonds, and then Issuance of banknotes Mora…”

"Is it possible to speed it up a little bit more?"

"It depends on the situation, especially on the effectiveness of my trip to Mondstadt this time. Only by truly mastering the technology of recycling the demonic residue can we ensure that this reform will not encounter irreversible difficulties... Is there something wrong? "

"The world seems to be changing, but I can't tell..."

Zhongli stared at the northern night sky and sighed slightly, then reminded: "Recently, I inspected the northern border, and I sensed many demonic powers similar to yours in the direction of Mondstadt, which contain chaos, violence and the will of destruction. "

"In addition, Ningguang compiled the intelligence and found that the Fools' activities in Mondstadt have become increasingly frequent in the past month."

"Given your experience, it's hard to believe there isn't a connection."

"When you go to Mondstadt, you must be careful and don't reveal your identity."

Niyu felt a chill in his heart and said solemnly: "I understand, thank you sir for reminding me."

"Well..." Zhongli nodded and suddenly said, "One more thing, you still owe me a condition, remember?"

Niyu hurriedly said: "Of course, what do you need me to do?"

Zhongli showed a rare hint of embarrassment, "The business of the Holy Life Hall is quite special. It has always had high expenses and low income. In previous years, I would secretly supplement them. But that kid Hutao is quite smart and attaches great importance to the business of the Holy Life Hall. After checking the ledger, I became a little... anxious."

"I have a hard time dealing with that kid, especially when she's anxious."

"I think your ideas are relatively novel. You can easily come up with solutions for things like the expansion of Liyue Port, and you also put financial reform on the agenda. It's really rare..."

"In this case, please find a way for me to turn the loss of Shengsheng Hall into a profit!"

Niwa:? ? ?

No, I’m really not familiar with this business!

Niyu looked at Zhongli with a stiff expression, but Zhongli just pretended not to notice and said to himself: "If the deadline is set, how about one year?"

Niwa:……
