Chapter 16 Keqing and Xingqiu Arrive
Early the next morning,
Because there was no school today, Wang Hao didn't get up early, which was a rare occasion.

Tongwen Academy, as the largest academy in Liyue, has four days of rest every month.

They are two days in the middle of the month, the 14th and the 15th.

And the two days at the end of the month, the numbers are uncertain, depending on the month.

Yesterday was April 14th. Wang Hao had been busy outside all day and wanted to take a day off today, the 15th, to sleep in.
But the noise outside the door disturbed my sleep.

"I want to see what good things you are doing!" said the female voice.

"Huh, we are doing something meaningful, how could you understand?" the man retorted.

"Stop talking nonsense and call Wang Hao out immediately."

Listening to the quarrel outside the door, Wang Hao got up helplessly, put on his clothes, folded the quilt on the bed, and then walked over and opened the door.

"Hey, you two, it's a great day for a holiday, what are you guys arguing about?"

The two people standing at the door were Keqing and Xingqiu.

"Wang Hao, get up." Xingqiu shouted happily.

Wang Hao rubbed his brows helplessly: "If you guys speak a little quieter, I won't be able to get up."

What I mean is that you two woke me up.

I don’t know whether he didn’t understand or he deliberately didn’t understand.

Xingqiu still looked happy: "Last time when you said you wanted to let her see it."

He was very excited because he knew that according to the two people's plan, the Mora they won from the gambling would be used to help the poor.

But he hasn't seen the people being helped yet.

So some can't wait to see it.

And beside Xingqiu,
Although Keqing had a cold face, there was some curiosity in her eyes.

After she and Wang Hao fell down last time, she had been wanting to know,
Why did Wang Hao say she was vulgar?

She obviously just wanted to buy some gifts for her family after winning money. Is this considered vulgar?

Moreover, she also wanted to know what was so noble about Wang Hao and Xingqiu.

Wang Hao had said before that he would take her out to see the world on a day off, so after enduring for a whole day yesterday, Keqing couldn't help it anymore and wanted to question Wang Hao.

Just then they ran into Xingqiu who also couldn't help himself, and the two of them came over together.

"You guys... forget it, come in and sit for a while. I'll wash up and take you to see it."

Faced with the curiosity and expectations of the two, Wang Hao naturally could not refuse.

Open the small door and let the two of them come in first.
Then he went to get some water and wash himself, without any intention of entertaining the two of them.

We are all classmates, there is no need to be polite.

It was probably the first time that Xingqiu and Keqing saw such a dilapidated house. They looked around with curiosity in their eyes.

The broken windows were repaired several times.
Faintly, you can see the shiny broken tiles.
The entire 'home' is not even as big as one of their bedrooms.

A bed takes up one third of the space.

Wardrobes, desks, bedside tables and other items occupy the remaining space.

The only place that can actually be used for activities is just a place to stand.

Xingqiu had confusion in his eyes.

He didn't wonder why someone would live in such a place.

He didn't understand why there was such a place in Liyue.

There was a flickering light in Keqing's eyes, because her family was interested in training her to go into politics.

She actually knows a little more than Xingqiu.
But she was also puzzled. Could someone like Wang Hao really be cultivated in such an environment?

She saw Wang Hao get on Ningguang's carriage a few days ago.

At that time, she guessed that Wang Hao had been recruited by Ningguang.

But why is Wang Hao, who has been "recruited" by Ningguang, still willing to live in such a place?
After Wang Hao finished washing up, he walked over to the two of them. Seeing their dazed expressions, he couldn't help but laugh: "Why, haven't you seen a poor person's house?"

Xingqiu came back to his senses and asked: "Why does Liyue still have such a house?"

This sentence has a bit of the flavor of...why not eat meat?

However, Wang Hao was not angry. This was just a cognitive barrier, not that Xingqiu really looked down on this kind of house.

"Haha, Xingqiu, houses like this are still in great demand in the General Affairs Department. If there were no such houses, do you know how many poor people would be displaced?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

Xingqiu was silent, he didn't know.

Keqing recalled for a moment and said, "Three thousand eight hundred and seventy-six households."

Xingqiu: "Huh?"

Keqing confirmed, "If the General Affairs Department cancels the cheap housing here, 3,876 households will be displaced." Note that this refers to households, not individual people.

Wang Hao looked at Keqing with some surprise.

Keqing noticed Wang Hao's gaze, raised her head, showing her snow-white neck, and said proudly: "I am not the second-generation who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun."

Wang Hao smiled: "There are indeed some things, but not much."

Keqing immediately became angry: "Did I say something wrong?"

She had absolute confidence in her memory and she knew the information by heart.

Wang Hao shook his head. "If you mean the data in the General Affairs Department's documents, then that's probably correct, because there are only 3,876 rooms here. But if you're willing to take a real look, you'll know that one room can't only accommodate one family."

The rich have endless pavilions and towers, but the poor have no place to stand.

This is not a lie.

As long as a partition is erected in the house, two families can live in it.

Although the place is smaller, at least I have a place to stay and I don’t have to wander the streets.

Liyue is very prosperous and has enjoyed peace for a long time.

The emperor values ​​contracts, but contracts cannot guarantee wealth and honor.

Compared with the poor, rich people obviously have more time and energy to study contracts.

Of course, this is not to say that rich people are bad. Apart from those who cheat and defraud, there are also many rich people who have accumulated wealth from generation to generation.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This was not a problem he could solve.

Maybe the Emperor already knows this problem.
Just like what was said in the barrage,
After Ningguang came to power, Liyue became a very beautiful place.

Perhaps, under her rule, the gap between the rich and the poor in Liyue has been greatly narrowed.

Perhaps, Ningguang's coming to power and the promotion of her subsequent policies were also instructed by the Emperor.

Looking at Xingqiu and Keqing who had confused expressions on their faces, Wang Hao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't think too much. You are just a little scholar like me. There is no point in thinking about it. Let's go. I will take you to see the places where Mora is in my plan."

Keqing came back to her senses and nodded reluctantly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xingqiu also reacted and urged, "Oh, right, right, come on, take me to see the places that need help."

Wang Hao stopped and looked at Xingqiu: "Xingqiu, here, you can say that you rob the rich to help the poor, but you can't say that when you get to the place."

Xingqiu was puzzled: "Ah, why?"

Wang Hao forced a smile: "Because... robbing the rich is also illegal."

Xingqiu: "Huh?"

He spent the whole day in a 'ah' mood.

Their act of robbing the rich to help the poor is actually a form of gambling, and more essentially a scam. If the director's grandmother gets to know about this, there's no way Mora will be able to accept this money.

The barrage in Wang Hao's eyes,
Keqing has been all over the screen since she appeared.

Now Xingqiu's cute "Ah" made the barrage of comments refresh like a waterfall.

[What a lovely second lady, I want to...]

[You are not allowed to think about it, you are not allowed to think about it, the second young lady is mine. ]

[According to Wang Hao's age, the second young lady is only fourteen years old now. You are breaking the law.]

[What does the law of the three-dimensional world have to do with my two-dimensional world? 】

……

Ignore the barrage and once again argue about whether Wang Hao belongs to the three-dimensional or two-dimensional world.

I went to eat at Huyan first and bought some snacks, spending nearly two hundred Mora.

Then Wang Hao took Xingqiu and Keqing and walked out of Liyue City.

After exiting the Liyue Gate and passing a few intersections, you will see a small courtyard.

"You two, you are my classmates. You are here with me to visit the dean's grandmother. Don't say anything else. Do you understand?" Wang Hao instructed.

He was worried that the gambling at the academy would be leaked, which would make the dean's grandmother worried.

After all... gambling is a bad thing after all.

Keqing and Xingqiu nodded: "We understand."

"Then come with me."

Wang Hao straightened his clothes, dusted himself off, and tried to make himself as clean as possible.

Then he walked towards the courtyard and called out, "Grandma, I'm here to see you."

　You can probably tell from this chapter that I will not write a very small Liyue story, but will expand on the original one.
　　Common people, wealthy businessmen, politicians, workers,
　　There are many things that are not described in the game, but I will bring some of them up later to enrich this world as much as possible.
