Finding a square table with only one person and sitting down, Zhong Li nodded slightly to the diner girl who was eating noodles: "Excuse me, can I sit here?"
"Of course..." The purple-haired girl with cute high ponytails stopped eating noodles, and just when she looked up to see Zhongli's face clearly, she was startled and stood upright.
"The Rock King..."
Before she could finish her surprised words, Zhong Li waved his hand lightly at her.
A force that she couldn't detect at all immediately gagged the mouth of the spiritual girl, and forced her to sit down.
"Miss Yuhengxing, please be quiet while eating."
Zhong Li waved his hand unhurriedly, signaling to Xiang Ling, who was waiting at the side, to come and order food.
The vitality girl with the mutated meatball head ran over as fast as usual. She stood in front of Zhongli and said excitedly, "Ah~! It's Mr. Zhongli. You haven't been here for a long time."
"I have prepared a lot here..."
Xiangling held up her bare white arm and drew a big circle to show that it was really a lot.
"There are a lot of new foods. But many people are not used to them, so I thought, if Mr. Zhongli is willing to try any new food, you will definitely be able to give me real feedback."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"En." Zhong Li nodded slightly indifferently: "Don't worry, I will come in the next few days, I can try all your new products, this is also one of the joys of my life."
"Okay." Xiangling blinked playfully, made a scissors hand to Zhongli, and then quickly ran towards the back kitchen - it seemed that she had indeed held back a lot of new dishes, waiting Zhongli's tasting.
Turning his gaze back, Zhongli stared at Yuheng Xing Keqing, who had been sitting silently since the beginning, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "Yuheng Xing, don't make any noise, I'm still in Liyue Port, everyone You should know, and the immortals also know it well."
"I just came to Manmintang to have a meal, just like you also like to eat noodles at Manmintang."
Yu Hengxing nodded his head slightly.
Zhong Li lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and immediately, the power that bound Yu Hengxing disappeared without a trace.
"Hello, Zhongli...Your Excellency."
After being silent for a while, Ke Qing just considered her words and said hello.
Zhong Li took a sip of tea and nodded in response.
"You...why did you leave?" Ke Qing directly asked her biggest question with an inquiring expression.
She seemed to have experienced a lot during Zhongli's absence, so when she asked, she lacked a bit of sharpness and a little more calm nostalgia.
"As you once said."
Zhongli responded calmly.
"You are proud that you are the Liyue Human Race."
"Although you are a nobleman of Liyue, what you think or think is not for your own selfish desires. I can guarantee it with my conscience."
"You ask too much for many things, because you can't see that the Liyue people don't want to make progress, and they only look forward to the Emperor Yan's mercy."
"You asked those words to Emperor Yan Wang to urge the people of Liyue to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and to know that relying on yourself is the right way."
"Everything you do is for the justice of Liyue, and there is no flaw in your heart."
Keqing's complexion did change slightly, she muttered and hesitated a bit.
"Although I said it before, but..."
"No need but." Zhong Li interrupted her words, raised his head, and the light golden dragon pupils were staring at her blue-purple eyes like glazed glass.
"That's right."
"That's what I was thinking too."
Zhongli's resolute words changed Keqing's expression again.
Her complexion was reddish at first, and she seemed a little embarrassed, and then she didn't know what to think of, but she became calm.
There was a hint of determination in the voice.
"Your Excellency Zhongli, even today I don't regret the conversation I had with you that day in [Palace of Rebirth]."
Zhong Li nodded slightly: "I still remember Yuheng Xing who is at the forefront of the times."
"However, what I want to remind you is that you have to remember your current thoughts. I have seen countless mortals. According to common sense, any mortal has a moment when he degenerates and deviates from his own ideals."
"For mortals, time is the best friend and worst enemy."
"Keqing, just like the three questions I asked you that day." Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the bustling Liyue Port outside Wanmin Hall with a calm expression, and said softly: "Today, I also want to ask You have a question."
Ke Qing also slightly nodded seriously: "Please tell me."
Zhongli's question was indeed almost exactly the same as that day.
"What are you doing in Liyue Port where the emperor has already left?"
This question made Ke Qing obviously taken aback.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Zhongli continued: "You really did what you said that day, [There is always a person who will walk at the forefront of the times and open up a new path with his own hands. Yuhengxing must do his part.] Did you? ???"
After saying this, Zhong Li closed his eyes and remained silent.
On the side, Yuheng Xing Keqing showed a tangled and complicated expression on his delicate and small face.
Many thoughts swirled in her mind, including worries about the inadequacy of what she had done, and worries about the growing real estate industry in Liyue Port—she was responsible for Liyue’s land and buildings, and also for Some big merchants in Liyue Port will deceive their superiors and conceal their inferiors, and they hate them with all their hands and eyes.
Waiting for Keqing's complexion to change, and after a long time of self-examination, Zhongli continued: "Actually, when the emperor was still in power, you, Yuheng Xing, did a good job. At least, you guaranteed to gather the entire Liyue people. The price of real estate in the elite Liyue Port is not outrageous. You strictly control the price of real estate, and create policies to benefit the people, so that the small people of Shengdou have a place to hide."
"But at that time, the emperor was still in power. With the acquiescence of the emperor for your actions, the other Liyue Seven Stars will not make things difficult for you. The big chamber of commerce under their control can only obey your system."
"But today, the emperor has left the position, and the Liyue Seven Stars have their own responsibilities, and they are equal to each other. When you formulate some policies that touch the interests of the Great Chamber of Commerce, they will sometimes ask the Liyue Seven Stars, who are at the same level as you, to let you Selling face, or conveying benefits to you, so that people can formulate policies that are slightly biased towards them."
"There are many such things now."
Keqing just kept silent
"If you insist on your point of view, the other Seven Stars will definitely be unhappy. You and them are both Seven Stars, so naturally you have a bit of a sympathy with each other. You also sometimes ask them for help."
"So, you are also suffering a bit. Yes and no."
Zhongli's analysis was like a copy of Keqing's current situation.
She couldn't help nodding slightly.
Seeing her expression, Zhong Li continued to speak calmly.
"Then, let me ask for more details."
"Yu Hengxing, do you think it's more important for the big chamber of commerce in Liyue Port to earn more profits, or for ordinary people to live better?"
Regarding this question, Ke Qing flicked her ponytails, but answered without hesitation: "Of course the lives of ordinary Liyue people are more important, but do the interests of the Great Chamber of Commerce conflict with the good life of ordinary people? "
Zhong Li did not answer this question, but continued to ask.
"Well... Then Yuheng Xing, do you think Liyue is the Liyue of merchants, or the Liyue of all Liyue ordinary people?"
Ke Qing was taken aback for a moment, but continued to answer.
"Naturally, it is Liyue of all Liyue ordinary people, but the merchant is also a member of Liyue ordinary people. Are merchants and ordinary people opposed?"
Zhong Li still didn't answer, but asked for the third time.
"Is the teahouse on the rock still there?"
Keqing was stunned again by this question, and then shook her head slightly.
"... still there."
"Forget it." Zhong Li looked at Xiang Ling who had come out of the back kitchen, and stopped talking immediately.
"My new food is here, your noodles are going to be cold too, do you want to eat some together?"
Ke Qing's expression was made weird by the sudden change of words, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Zhong Li's pale golden pupils and nodded slightly: "En."
......
I don't know how long it took, Yuheng Xing Keqing returned to her courtyard in a daze.
Her home is a large garden-like building, and it can be said to be one of the most spacious and luxurious in this piece of Liyue Harbor.
As the daughter of the largest real estate developer in Liyue and one of the ancient nobles in Liyue, she was naturally born in such a huge and luxurious place.
But she also knew since she was a child that not everyone can live in this place. There are many people in the land of Liyue who can't even live in ordinary brick and tile houses.
That's why she became Yuhengxing, so that everyone can live in a house like her.
She sat beside the rockery at home, thinking about Zhongli's question, the more she thought about it, the more she thought about some details, the more frightened she became.
In the end, when she looked at the rockery beside her, she felt a little different.
------Where did the money to build this rockery come from?What does it mean to be the largest real estate developer?
.........
After eating the last bite of [Crystal Glazed Dragon Lizard Core Gala Gala Slime Set], Zhong Li nodded to the [Young Master] who just appeared and was preparing to eat, and asked the other party to pay, and left Wanmintang.
Today's encounter with Yuheng Xing Keqing was just a small accident.
For Zhongli, his primary goal now is to obtain the support of computing power from the [Wanjie chat group], so as to deduce his own way forward.
Things on the land of Liyue could no longer attract his attention too much.
However, since we have already met by chance, it is just a matter of casually saying a few words so that the most [hopeful] person can get a little inspiration.
So, why not do it.
Chapter 4 and Traveler, and Sleep
It's a pleasant afternoon.
The Zhongli courtyard, which was originally peaceful, ushered in the hustle and bustle after a long absence.
It was spring and summer at this time, and all kinds of fragrant flowers gathered in the courtyard, but it didn't look messy, but there was an inexplicable harmony.
The beautiful and brilliant glazed lilies at the corners are indisputably fragrant, the bustling and blooming neon flowers in the middle are graceful and luxurious, a windmill chrysanthemum flutters in the wind on the wall, and a pair of Qingxin stands proudly on the top of the rockery.
Zhong Li stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery of Liuli Lily.
A familiar and noisy voice suddenly appeared.
"Hey, Zhongli, we're here to see you."
