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

The person appointed as the envoy, Hiiragi Shinsuke, is an old man with a gray beard, a decent appearance and a kind attitude.

Seeing Ni Yu and Abedo enter the door, he quickly put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet them politely, "Are you two the special envoys of Liyue Qixing? You are indeed young heroes! Please sit down!"

However, Niyu saluted meticulously, "I've seen Mr. Kanding Fengxing."

Hiiragi Shinsuke waved his hands repeatedly, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite! Come on, come on, please sit down!"

The two parties sat down respectively, and the servants served tea and snacks.

Hiiragi Shinsuke chatted for a few words first, and then said tentatively: "Since the implementation of the national lockdown order, Liyue officials have not sent anyone to contact us for several years..."

Niyu chuckled, "Your country's lock-down order is more than just an official document. The thunderstorms outside the sea are the real power of God! My safe arrival this time is considered the emperor's blessing!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi took a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "Mr. Labor is working so hard, there must be something important, right?"

Niyu glanced at him and said: "Since your country was locked down, the trade between you and us has dropped sharply. As far as I know, the price of a piece of Liyue's finest silk in your country has increased tenfold?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke nodded calmly, "It is true. But after all, silk is not necessary for people's livelihood, and it doesn't matter if it is more expensive..."

"What about the cloth? Your country does not produce white cloth, only Kuzu. And the price of white cloth has increased more than ten times, right?" Niwa said quietly.

"Well... Kabuto can also cover his body, so that's not a bad idea." Hiiragi Shinsuke could only tell lies with his eyes open.

Niyu glanced at his brand new silk robe and white folded cloth undershirt and sneered. Shinsuke Hiiragi still only smiled and did not accept the move.

"This old fox is really able to keep his composure... He is worthy of being the second-ranked family in Inazuma." Niwa thought to himself.

He sat up slightly and changed the topic, "Have you ever heard of the rebellion that happened in Mondstadt last year?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi nodded, "I've heard about it. The special envoy is Mr. Niwa who rode alone to quell the rebellion and was granted the title of Dongfeng Guardian as a foreigner, right? His reputation is well known even among Inazuma!"

Niyu waved his hand and said: "It's just a false reputation, nothing worth mentioning. It's just through this battle in Mondstadt that I gained some insights. I wonder if Lord Fengxing would be interested in hearing it?"

"Of course. I'm all ears."

"Although the battle in Mondstadt only lasted for half a month, it was a loss of life. Everyone in Mondstadt hated the war, but some people really hated the war, while some people dared not say it on their faces, and even cheered for the war in private. Master Shi Xing, do you know who these two are?"

"This... I would like to hear the details."

"Those who sincerely hate war are businessmen, because only when the situation is stable can they make money; those who privately applaud the war are soldiers, because only war can achieve military merit, and once a war breaks out, everything must be in line with the military!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression when looking at Niyu became extremely complicated.

Niyu knew that he understood her hint, so she immediately stopped talking and drank tea in her leisure time.

His words were actually a reminder to Hiiragi Shinsuke that the interests of the determination and the pursuit of the Tianling, his biggest enemy, were inconsistent.

The rule of thumb is to manage money. Only when the situation is stable can you make money. If you make good money, your position will be stable.

However, Tianling's philosophy is to manage the military. Only when the situation becomes chaotic, and it is best to start a war, can he earn military merit and gain more say in the political arena.

Shinsuke Hiiragi thought deeply for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Sir, great talk. After all, war is not a good thing. With the flames of war, all life will be ruined..."

Niyu glanced at him and said, "So Master Xiong should be steady and not chaotic?"

"That's nature! That's nature!"

"But everything your lord does is just to create chaos... The people of Daowu are pitiful. Not to mention Mondstadt's fine wine, Liyue's silk cannot be enjoyed like this, and even ordinary white folded cloth I can’t afford to wear it, so I can only wear Gebu, not to mention medicinal materials such as Gourmet Fruit and Qingxin, and spices such as Damp Grass and Glaze Bag... If I were Dao’s wife, I might not be able to survive a day!"

As soon as he said this, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Shinsuke Hiiragi's forehead.

He wiped his sweat, raised his hands more politely and said, "After listening to what you said, I was really enlightened! I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

But Niwa calmly took out a pocket watch from his arms, "Hey, it's already past dinner time. If we leave the island later, I'm afraid there won't be any restaurants open. I'm really sorry, why don't we talk tomorrow?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke still didn't understand, so he quickly grabbed Niwa's arm, called the servants to prepare the banquet, and arranged a good guest room.

"Sir, please stay here today. I would like to sleep with you!"

Who cares about smelling the stinky feet of an old helper like you? If it were the eldest lady in God, it would be the same...

Niyu cursed secretly, but still accepted Old Man Hiiragi's invitation with dignity.

It goes without saying that the host and guest enjoyed the hospitality they gave them.

After the meal, Niyu and Hiiragi Shin walked into Feng Xing's small study, shut away the others, and started talking about business.

Niyu folded two fingers and almost shook a feather fan.

"Since you want to be stable, the word 'economy' should be the first to bear the brunt!"

"As long as everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear, the situation will not become chaotic even if it is chaotic."

"If we continue to use rare goods to make friends with dignitaries and use high-quality goods to appease middle-class families, the situation will be as stable as Mount Tianheng."

Shinsuke Hiiragi slapped his thigh and said, "Who says it's not the case! Since the promulgation of the national lockdown order, the income we have designated for implementation has been increasingly depleted. In order to ensure the state's use, we can only continue to suffer from those foreign businessmen and the people... I too I know this is fishing for the best, but what else can I do?"

You can still fish from the lake sustainably, but you can't do this technical job...

Niwa smiled slightly, "Although the lockdown cannot be lifted, the lockdown does not completely prohibit foreign businessmen from coming and going!"

"That's true, but only three or five merchants can obtain the imperial merchant's license every year..."

Niyu laughed heartily, "Why do we need three or five families? One is enough!"

"A family?"

"This is the only one. No matter whether it's food, cloth, rare treasures or whatever Master Shizong can think of, I can get it all for you!"

Shinsuke Hiiragi was overjoyed, "Seriously? I wonder which company can have such strength?"

Niwa pointed at himself, "Of course it is the "Liben" department store established by me!"

"Uh... I understand the department store, but what's the explanation for the word 'Liben'?"

"It's just a name, please don't care about these details!"
