Chapter 188 Meeting with the Immortal
"The second economic issue is about the taxation of maritime trade. After the disaster of Osel, many merchant ships were destroyed. They hope to reduce some of the taxes and alleviate their economic pressure."

Ningguang finished speaking and looked at everyone.
"What do you think?"

"This...was affected by the disaster and was damaged. We should take care of it."

Said the True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang.

"Hey, that's wrong. Although we are all affected, the severity of the impact is different. How can we generalize it?"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun refuted.

Master Xueyue Zhuyang looked at his old friend:
"Then what do you think we should do?"

"In my opinion, different subsidies should be given according to the severity of the disaster, rather than reducing taxes."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun looked like he was thinking deeply.

Actually, what he said makes sense.
Giving different compensations according to the different degrees of disaster is the fairest thing to do.
But this method is good,

The problem is that it cannot be implemented.

Wang Hao looked at Master Lishui Dieshan and said, "Master Lishui, if we follow your plan, the General Affairs Department will have to spend a lot of money on verification, and the increased administrative costs will be very high."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was stunned.
What? Does the General Affairs Department need to pay for its services?
This is his blind spot.

"Well, well, what about letting the affected merchants report it on their own initiative?"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was very perceptive and quickly came up with a new solution.

Wang Hao looked a little strange, then picked up the information in his hand and asked, "How much do you think this information is worth?"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun frowned and said, "This contains a lot of information about Liyue. It is naturally priceless."

"That's right, Master. Many of these things that record information are priceless. In other words, they are difficult to price. If people are allowed to declare on their own, many merchants would not mind setting a high price for their goods."

"A bowl with one moola is a bowl, and a bowl with three moolas is also a bowl, but if you declare it, the value will triple."

Wang Hao said with a wry smile: "In this case, the Mora we have to spend will be very terrifying."

"Then let someone verify it."

“This brings us back to the original problem. The administrative expenses of the General Services Department will increase.”

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was stunned.
Why can’t I get out?
Finally, he frowned and looked at Wang Hao: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Wang Hao didn't care about the slightest hint of inconsistency in his tone and said, "The fastest way is to cut taxes across the board. Some people will definitely gain and some will lose, but maritime trade can be restored quickly."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun frowned immediately: "Isn't this bad? Wouldn't the people who suffered the most damage be at a disadvantage?"

"Master, business is inherently risky. There is no such thing as perfect. We can only cover part of the cost for them."

Wang Hao explained,
But Master Lishuidieshan was still somewhat reluctant.

In the eyes of immortals, everything should be fair and just, not one-size-fits-all.

Uncle Tian, ​​on the other hand, agreed with Wang Hao's statement.
The most urgent task is to resume sea transportation.

Instead of investing energy into detailed subsidies,
Shipping is one of the economic pillars of Liyue, and any stoppage for even one day would be a huge loss.

After thinking for a while, Uncle Tian said, "Set a standard for subsidies and tax reductions. If the extent of the disaster far exceeds this standard, the General Affairs Department can allocate some orders separately as subsidies."

Wang Hao glanced at Uncle Tian with a smile in his eyes. It was comfortable to cooperate with smart people.

This time, Uncle Tian was helped.

Sure enough, after hearing Uncle Tian's words, Master Lishui Dieshan nodded quickly: "That's good, that's good."

The other immortals also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Ningguang spoke up, "Then the maritime merchant matter has been settled. Let's move on to the next item, regarding the reconstruction of the dock area. The General Affairs Department plans to allocate 13 million Mora to complete the reconstruction of the damaged area within one month. The specific information is on page three."

"Hmph, it's just a pier. This immortal can build it in one day." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng took a look at the information and spoke directly.

Several of the Seven Stars were obviously stunned.
It’s not that they don’t believe it, but they really believe that the other party can do it.

The meeting room was silent for a moment.
Keqing finally spoke up: "Master Liuyun, rebuilding the dock is more than just rebuilding a new dock."

Master Liuyunjiefeng showed a trace of doubt: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not. It only takes one day for the True Lord to repair the dock. We don't even need to prepare the materials. You can collect them yourself. But... the General Affairs Department allocated funds to repair the dock, which is actually more about restoring production."

Keqing tried her best to use words that the immortals could understand.

"The General Affairs Department has allocated 13 million Moraes.

Part of it will be used to purchase materials such as stone and wood.

This will allow some of the production in these industries to be restored.

The rest requires a large number of tools, which can support many blacksmith shops.

But ordinary people have little power, and repairing the dock will require more people.
In this way, repairing the dock provided temporary employment for many people who had lost their jobs because their ships could not leave the port.

These are the true meaning of restoration projects.”

Master Liuyun Jiefeng's eyes widened: "There are so many explanations?"

Keqing nodded: "Yes, all political affairs will have a chain reaction, it is not an independent single thing."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng pondered for a moment, then nodded to Keqing: "Thank you for your advice."

When the Emperor was around, they didn't need to consider these things.

The Emperor solved it himself.

Now that the immortals are involved in government affairs, they discover that many things seem different from what they imagined.

The work of Qixing is not that simple.

"Then let's follow the plan of the General Affairs Department." said Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

From the beginning till now, there are three issues in total, except for the first one that neither side has resolved,

In the next two issues, the Seven Stars prevailed.

Of course, the word "having the upper hand" may not be a good word.
But the meaning is the same.

When it comes to Liyue’s people’s livelihood and government affairs, the immortals are not as skilled as the Seven Stars.

Ningguang's wine-red eyes swept over everyone, and then she nodded: "Then it's decided. The next item is about the development of Guiliyuan and some areas of Tianheng Mountain."

"Please turn to page 5. There are specific development matters on it. Currently, the main work is the cleanup of Guiliyuan and the road development of Tianheng Mountain."

After a pause, he looked at Wang Hao with a fixed gaze.

"Wang Hao brought back a type of engineering machinery from the Faraway Kingdom from the Layered Abyss. It was of great help to the development work, but the current research on the reproduction of the engineering machinery is not going smoothly."

Ningguang didn't finish her words.
Master Liuyunjiefeng became excited.

Machinery, she is familiar with this.

"What machine?" she asked immediately.

Ningguang's eyes flashed with a smile: "Please turn to the third page of the file attachment."

Yes, she did it on purpose.

Most immortals are arrogant and it is not easy to communicate with them.

Especially when discussing important matters, words need to be carefully considered.
Later, Ningguang discussed with others whether there was any way to take control of the initiative.
So, there is the current situation.

First throw out a problem that no one can solve, and bring everyone to the same level.

Then throw in two topics that the immortals are definitely not familiar with, so as to raise the position of the Seven Stars a little bit.

After three consecutive defeats, the immortal must want to regain his face.

Therefore, the fourth topic is prepared for the immortals.

Ningguang specifically learned about the strengths and personalities of each immortal.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun is very strong, cares about face, is arrogant, and is good at machinery, runes and other means of creation.

It just so happened that the work of recreating the giant snake in the Kanreya Ruins was not going smoothly.

If I give it to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun now, she will definitely take action for the sake of face.

The fact was just as Ningguang expected, Master Liuyunjiefeng attacked directly.

She flipped open the information Ningguang mentioned, took a look, and then her eyes became slightly solemn: "So it's this thing."

"Have you met Master Liuyun?" Keqing asked curiously.

The giant construction machinery, namely the Ruins Serpent, was what she was going to use for infrastructure construction, so Keqing paid special attention to it.

"Kanreya's bionic machinery was once very famous."

Kanreya once caused great trouble.
Five hundred years have passed, and ordinary people have long forgotten.

But for the immortals, this is not a long time ago.

Compare the length of life.

It is equivalent to what a middle-aged person does when he is young.

I don’t think about it normally, but once I encounter it, I remember it immediately.

"This should be a replica of the wind-eroded sandworm in the Xumi Desert. I have seen that kind of creature before. It is a relic of the dragon clan. Hmm, it should not be difficult to replicate it."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng looked at the information on the file, thinking and saying,
"The most important thing is the self-discipline core. Only with this thing can it be considered a true self-discipline organization. However, I see that you seem to have a sample, so that's easy."

She said this with full confidence.
"Half a month, at most half a month, I can get a better one."

She didn't even make a copy, but just made a better one.

Hearing this, Keqing was slightly delighted, but immediately remembered that some of the concepts of immortals are different from those of ordinary people: "Master Liuyun, this machine needs to be mass-produced. Please consider the skills of mortals like us when you reproduce it."

Master Liuyunjiefeng frowned: "We still have to consider the skills of mortals."

According to her idea, she could just use the magic talisman + mechanical technology to make a better one. The most important thing is the core issue of self-discipline.

But if we consider the level of ordinary people, then many advanced immortal scrolls and mechanical techniques cannot be used, and ordinary people can't play them at all.

After thinking for a while, Master Liuyun Jiefeng said, "Then I need to know your skills before I can make a judgment."

She is not a boastful fairy. Although she does talk big sometimes, it is all based on the fact that she can really do it.

When she encounters something that is difficult to judge, she also needs to observe a little.

Keqing nodded quickly: "After the meeting, please go with me to inspect it."

"Okay, I will accompany you for this journey." said Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

Seeing that Keqing and Master Liuyunjifeng had made an agreement,

Ningguang continued the meeting:
"Well, since the problem of the construction machinery has been solved by True Lord Liuyun, the cleanup work of Guiliyuan and the road development work of Tianheng Mountain will be handed over to you two."

In fact, it was handed over to Keqing, and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was only responsible for mechanical matters.

After all, if Xianniao really had to keep an eye on the engineering project every day, she would definitely not be able to stand it.

However, at the meeting, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng still held his head high and said, "Leave it to me."

It's considered a win.

The immortal finally has a place to contribute.

"Okay, then the economic development proposal is temporarily over. Next is the cultural proposal."

"Please ask the secretary to send the new information."

She touched the table with her fingertips.
Bai Wen and other secretaries entered the conference room again, brought up a new document, and then left in an orderly manner.

Sending the information separately is actually a little trick, which I won’t explain in detail here.

"The first cultural topic, please turn to the first page of the information. Regarding the Moon-Chuling Festival, do you have any suggestions?"

Every year when the moon is bright in the golden autumn, Liyue Port will hold a traditional festival called the Moon Chasing Festival.

Mainly to celebrate the joy of the bright autumn moon,

Thousands of years ago, immortals would seek immortality during this period.

Now during the Moon-Chasing Festival, the people of Liyue will eat delicious food, visit relatives and friends, and enjoy the moon and flowers... It is much simpler than before, and it is something that everyone enjoys and is not troublesome.

Each Moon Festival has a different theme, usually designated by the Seven Stars.

But this year, the Seven Stars invited the immortals to participate in the discussion of Liyue's major events.

Naturally, the immortals must also participate in this Moon-Chasing Festival.

Everyone opened the document and read it carefully.

The information contains very detailed information about the holding process of the Monthly Festival throughout the ages.

【Moon Festival? What is it?】

【Old players know, but new players don’t. 】

[It’s equivalent to Liyue’s Mid-Autumn Festival. 】

【What is Mid-Autumn Festival? 】

[Which dimension are you from? ]

【The legendary mission of Guoba.】

【Oh, now I understand. 】

【…】

Barrages of comments flowed through Wang Hao’s eyes.

Moon-Chasing Festival, actually Wang Hao also likes this festival very much.

When I was a child, every Moon Festival, the director’s grandmother would prepare a lot of delicious food for everyone.

The amount is not much, but every child has it.
It can be said that this is the happiest festival besides the Sea Lantern Festival.

Unfortunately, Wang Hao was not in Liyue during the Moon-Chasing Festival in previous years and missed them all.

"No matter what, we can't miss this time."

Wang Hao was looking at the information while thinking to himself.

Everyone looked very carefully, even the immortals.

The previous proposals made them realize that the job of Qixing is indeed not easy.

After reading the information,
True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang spoke first: "We don't live in Liyue all the time, so we don't know much about folk affairs. This Moon-Chasing Festival was originally the day for us to seek immortality, but now it has become a festival for gatherings. If Tianquan has already made arrangements, then please speak frankly."

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang saw it very clearly that they were definitely not as familiar with such folk affairs as the Seven Stars.

So, he didn't make any suggestions and let Ningguang speak directly.

If it is good, agree with it; if it is not good, find fault with it.

It's that simple.

Ningguang nodded and said without further ado, "During this Moon Festival, I would like to hold an event called 'Food and Mountains and Rivers'."

"Food and mountains and rivers?" The immortal asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

“Our Liyue has magnificent mountains and rivers, and its food culture is endless. The Moon-Chasing Festival is also a time for gatherings. If we have delicious food to accompany us, it will surely make people happier.” Ningguang explained.

Now I understand.

"You want to organize a food event, well, that's great, we can also have fun together with the people." True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded slightly.

"That's right. The Seven Stars will fund a food competition and a food festival for the people to enjoy together."

Ningguang smiled slightly. After having fun with the people, she still had one word left to say, which was - to make a fresh start with the people.

This Moon-Chasing Festival is the first large-scale festival in Liyue after the Emperor left.

It is also the first festival after the Seven Stars officially took over the authority of Liyue.

To share happiness with the people is also to make a fresh start with the people.

The immortals may have understood what Ningguang meant, or they may not have realized it.

In short, they had no objection to the proposal.

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng became even more interested: "If that's the case, can I participate in the competition?"

Ningguang was stunned and looked at the other party: "Master Liuyun is going to be a judge of the competition?"

"No, no, I have a treasure called the Mechanical Cooking Machine. If you want to hold a cooking competition, I will also participate and let you know my cooking skills."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng said with a proud look on his face.

On the side, several immortals shook their heads slightly, thinking that Master Liuyun Jiefeng really acted on whatever he thought of.

It is somewhat embarrassing for an immortal to participate in the competition.
Besides, if she participates in the competition, who will be the judge?

Put the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Transformation on the judges' table?

[Hahahaha, here she comes, here she comes, she comes with her cooking magic machine. ]

Let her compete. Let her compete.

[I also want to see Xianyun take his cooking machine to participate in the competition]

[What if Xianyun wins? ]

[I am more curious, will the rice crust be recognized if I cook with a machine? ]

[As long as the intention is there, no matter what tools are used, Guoba will recognize it. 】

【…】

The barrage was full of joy. It was so joyful that Master Liuyun Jiefeng wanted to participate in the cooking competition.

Ning Guang:......

She was shocked by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's idea.
After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses: "The status of the True Lord is noble. If he participates in the competition, I am afraid that he will scare the contestants."

Seeing that Master Liuyun Jiefeng frowned slightly, he seemed a little unhappy.

Ningguang continued, "The True Lord's mechanical skills must be very powerful. Why not put the True Lord's mechanical skills in the venue? If there are people who don't know how to cook but want to cook, let them try out the magic of the True Lord's mechanical skills. It can be regarded as a way for the True Lord to have fun with the people. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Master Liuyunjiefeng's brows relaxed.
This was a good idea. She didn't have to lose face as a contestant and she could also show off her skills in mechanical engineering. She was very satisfied.

“Hehe, then you better find some stronger contestants. Otherwise, if the dishes they cook are not as good as my cooking machine, then you can’t blame me for ruining the show.”

"You can rest assured, Master. We will definitely find the best chefs in Liyue to participate in the competition."

Ningguang said with a smile, then looked at everyone.

"So, do you have any other comments?"

No one spoke.

The immortal is not familiar with the affairs of the people of Liyue, so naturally he won’t say much. Anyway, you will know the answer when you see it with your own eyes.

As for Qixing and Wang Hao, they would not oppose Ningguang.

Those seven projected stars didn't speak again except for a few words when they first met.

They are here to support Ningguang, with silence being golden as their main purpose.

"Since there are no problems, let's move on to the second cultural item, which is actually somewhat related to the military later on."

Ningguang continued to push the meeting forward.

"For some reason, I plan to increase the budget for military and national defense, allocating more than 3 billion per period, rebuilding four Qianyan Groups, and at the same time increasing the research and teaching of supernatural powers, such as alchemy, immortal arts, runes, elements, earth veins, and many other projects, to popularize the knowledge of supernatural culture among the people of Liyue." [How much?]

【Three billion Mora? 】

[It is more than 3 billion Mora per issue, and I don’t know how many issues it will take. ]

[Not much, I have a Mora worth 100 million or 200 million.]

[It's not the same thing at all. Wang Hao's Mora is obviously very valuable. 】

[WC, with so much investment, are we really going to fight a war? ]

[That's not right. Isn't the armament plot three or four years later? ]

[I think he caught some omen. 】

[Indeed, given that the Emperor has just passed away, it is normal to increase the defense budget at this time.]

【…】

Ningguang’s generosity even shocked the comments.

Wang Hao was also somewhat shocked.
Three billion Moras per issue...increasing the research and popularization of a series of extraordinary knowledge.

Wow, this kind of grand gesture really takes courage.

However, Wang Hao thought about it and it didn't seem like a lot. He could earn the money back by raiding a few houses and destroying a few casinos.

"We have no objection." Xiao said.

This was the first time he spoke in this meeting.

Not only him, all the immortals had no objection. They had no reaction at all to Ningguang's warmongering behavior.

No, it’s not that they didn’t respond, they were somewhat supportive.

The immortal who once led the Thousand Waves Group into battle looks down upon the current Thousand Waves Army.

Although the Qianyan Army is also very good, brave, loyal, and not afraid of danger, it is a first-class army,

But compared to the Thousand Rocks that once followed them to charge against the Demon God, they are still a little weaker (Fingertip Universe).

The Seven Stars are preparing to resume the construction of the Thousand Rocks Group. For the immortals, this is good news as something familiar has been called back.

As for the later popularization of supernatural knowledge,
This is also a way to strengthen national construction.

Although extraordinary knowledge is likely to bring about unexpected things, it is completely within an acceptable range.

"For this, I need the immortals to help me negotiate with the hermit alchemists and have them come out to serve Liyue."

Ningguang said again.

Liyue has a very long history. There are always some people, families, or forces that have left the stage of Liyue and entered the backstage.
Some of these people, like Chongyun's family, still maintain contact with the Seven Stars, and some disciples go out to subdue demons and protect the country and the people.
But there are also some people who have completely fallen silent, and are wholeheartedly seeking the path to immortality.

Even the Seven Stars cannot move them. They have no desires and only seek immortality. How can you threaten them?
Therefore, only when the immortals call them will they be moved.

"As Liyue is in need of people, we should let them go out and serve."

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded and said,
"I will visit various secret places, gather people, and come to help you."

"Thank you, Zhenjun."

Ningguang nodded gratefully to Master Xueyue Zhuyang, and continued,
"Continue with the next item, military action. Regarding the Fatui, the Qianyan Army is preparing to clear out the Fatui camp in the wild. The specific information will be provided by the General Affairs Department's spies."

She looked at the immortals.
"Several immortals, are there any of you willing to help the Qianyan Army wipe out the Fatui? Immortals don't need to attack ordinary Fatui. The main thing is to guard against the masters that the Fatui may hide."

Normally,

This kind of battle is best left to the Great Saint Xiao.
But Xiao did not take the initiative to speak.
Several immortals looked at each other, and finally Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun spoke: "If that's the case, then I'll go. It's a good opportunity to see how big the difference is between the current Qianyan Army and the former Qianyan Group."

The corner of Wang Hao's mouth twitched. The difference was too big.

Ningguang smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Thousand Rocks will be accompanying us on this mission, so you can help us organize it."

“It can’t be said to be regular, just a few words, a few words.” Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun immediately laughed.

Ningguang's words were quite a compliment, so he was naturally happy.

“Does anyone else want to say anything to the Fatui?” Ningguang asked.

No one spoke.

So Ningguang continued to push the meeting forward.

"The last topic is about diplomacy. Winter sent us a diplomatic message, hoping that we can release its executive officer Tartaglia."

Ningguang was halfway through her words.
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng slammed the table and stood up: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, that bastard wanted to blaspheme the Emperor's Immortal Transformation, he deserves death, how can he be forgiven."

Several other immortals also looked indignant and demanded severe punishment for Tartaglia.

Only Xiao remained silent and didn't say anything. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would be exposed.

As for Grandma Ping, she looked at everyone calmly and didn't say anything.

Both of them knew that the Emperor had faked his death.

"Not only should I not let him go, I should cut him into pieces and chop him into pieces, only then can I vent my hatred."

The immortals shouted loudly.

Although in front of the people of Liyue, the immortals usually look ethereal, a bit majestic, and somewhat inhuman,

But they actually value relationships very much, especially the relationship with Morax, which they cherish very much.

Now, a person who attacked the Golden House, wanted to blaspheme the Emperor's Immortal Transformation, and even released the demon god, you say you want to forgive him? What a joke.

Being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts is what he deserves.

Even if you don't kill them, you should find a place to seal them up.
Hu Lao Mountain is a good place. There are a lot of amber there, some of which are location seals.

It would be refreshing to go out every day and see the sealed villain, feel his regret, and punish him.

As for the diplomatic rhetoric of winter,
The immortal never considered it at all.

The Winter Queen? So what?
When we followed Morax to conquer the world, you didn't even know where you were.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the immortal to let Tartaglia go.

Ningguang frowned slightly.

This problem is indeed difficult to solve.

That’s why I’ll talk about it last.

First of all, emotionally, Ningguang does not support letting Tartaglia go.
Anyone who sees someone coming to their home and messing around would be angry and would not want to let him go. It is normal.

But rationally, Ningguang knew that she couldn't kill the other party, at least not directly.

The executive officer of the Queen of Winter is actually equivalent to the Seven Stars of Morax in terms of position.

Killing them, in a sense, means slapping the face of the Queen of Winter.

This kind of thing can be done by Rock God, Thunder God, and other rulers.
But the Seven Stars can’t.

They have to consider ordinary people.

Once the killing really breaks out and a war is triggered, can ordinary people bear it?

This mentality sounds cowardly, but there is no way around it.

If Liyue was the loser in the previous disaster, then the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Just fight, and use war to divert internal conflicts.

But in fact, in the previous disaster, Liyue was the winner. Not only did it not go barefoot, but it also earned a set of beautiful clothes. In this case, there is no need to carry out thorough revenge. Asking for benefits from Zhidong is the most practical solution.

Of course, this idea would definitely not be accepted by the immortals.

Blasphemy against Morax is not something that can be forgiven.

The emperor has almost been desecrated, and you're talking to me about your demands for benefits?

Qixing, can you do it? If you can't, send someone else. Don't just sit there and do nothing.

This is probably the biggest ideological difference between the two sides.

"Please calm down, all immortals. Whether to kill or release, it must be in the interests of the people of Liyue."

Ningguang's eyes are sincere.

"Liyue has just experienced a disaster and needs to recover. We must not start a war lightly."

Master Liuyunjiefeng glared angrily: "Does Tianquan mean to let that bastard go?"

Several other immortals also looked at Ningguang with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

"It's not that I'm letting him go, but I can't kill him so easily." Ningguang didn't panic, and her face was calm. "At least, I can't cut him into pieces as the immortals said. That's definitely not the way to do it."

It's too bloody and will scare children.

"Hmph, then send you to my Hu Lao Mountain, seal you in amber, and make you a living dead." Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan said directly.

Ningguang shook her head: "That's such a waste."

"Tianquan, you might as well tell me frankly what you want. Anyway, if you let that guy go, we will definitely not agree." Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang said directly.

Ningguang hasn't spoken yet.
Wang Hao said, "Killing him directly won't bring any benefits other than venting your anger."

He spoke, gaining everyone's attention.

Compared to Ningguang, the immortals should pay more attention to Wang Hao, the man who killed Osel.
After all, Wang Hao really protected Liyue. Although he was the one who planned the whole thing, the immortal didn't know about it yet.

"Benefits?" Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun questioned, "That guy committed a serious crime, and you're still thinking about benefits?"

"True Lord, he committed a serious crime, and the one who suffered the most serious damage was Liyue itself. If we kill him directly, then we will have to bear these losses ourselves. Zhidong will definitely not compensate us."

"Can the crime he committed be redeemed with money?" Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was furious.

If they weren't in the conference room, he would have wanted to take action.

In his opinion, what Tartaglia did was not something that could be solved with money.

This involves the bottom line.

His attempt to attack the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Transformation Technique was already an unforgivable crime.

"It's not that his sin can be redeemed with money, but the damage he caused must be compensated with money."

Wang Hao naturally wasn't afraid of the immortal getting angry, so he directly retorted,
"His biggest mistake was disrespecting the Emperor and releasing the demon god. This is a sin, but the biggest impact he caused was actually the loss of Liyue caused by the demon god. This can be calculated separately."

Wang Hao sat in his seat, narrating in an orderly manner, and the power of order was slowly released.
Temperance and anger are calmed,

Peace and tranquility flow slowly.

Small opening does not count as opening.

"Get back the losses first, then it won't be too late to deal with him."

The expression of Master Lishuidieshan relaxed slightly, and his originally angry mood gradually calmed down.

"You won't let him go?"

"At least it's impossible to let him go now."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun sat down calmly.

"Then tell me the rules!"

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Wang Hao smiled slightly and said, "Let Zhidong take the money first to compensate for all our losses, and then we can talk about whether to release him or not."

"You won't let me go even after I paid you money?"

"Compensation is compensation for loss, why should we release people?"

"Okay, okay, this is good."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun laughed loudly. He took the money but didn't give it to others. This made him even more angry.

If this is the case, if there are benefits to be gained and if one can vent one's anger, then it is not impossible not to kill.

"That's right. We can't bear the consequences of the disaster they caused. We must make Zhidong pay for it."

Ningguang nodded: "We will definitely ask Zhidong to pay compensation, and we will also strive for more benefits."

"It's not just about money. Many of Zhidong's technologies and concepts have surpassed ours, and this is also the benefit we need to fight for."

Among the seven countries of Teyvat, each country has its own strengths.

The specialty of Zhidong is various industrialized large-scale production lines.

The productivity of Zhidong is undoubtedly the highest among the seven kingdoms of Teyvat.
This can be seen from the equipment of the Fatui.

Even the lowest level Fatui vanguard is equipped with elemental equipment.

This means that these equipments have become standardized and mass-produced by winter.

In contrast, in other countries,

Liyue, Mondstadt, and even some other countries that Wang Hao had learned about, most of them still used cold weapons.

Of course, in the fantasy world of Teyvat, using cold weapons is not a big problem.

It is not a problem for some strong people to use the ship-cutting sword.

But for ordinary people and even ordinary soldiers,

There is a huge gap between elemental equipment and ordinary cold weapons.

This is also the reason why the Fatui dare to be so strong in diplomacy.

Without considering Wang Hao's bug,

The Fatui are backed by the Ice Queen, one of the seven most powerful rulers in Teyvat.
There is also the Fatui Executor, who is at least at the peak of human power and can even rival Gods.
They are also equipped with equipment that allows them to use extraordinary powers.

In this situation, it's hard not to be arrogant.

Therefore, no matter how much the Fatui suffered at the hands of Wang Hao or Ye Lan,
When it’s time to face them, we must face them.

An organization that can dominate the continent and the forces behind it,

There must be something good about it.

Even a treasure-stealing group can produce a few elites, let alone the Fatui.

Therefore, what Ningguang wants to get from Zhidong is not just as simple as Mora.

Although the Golden House cannot forge Mora for the time being,

But Liyue's 3,700 years of accumulation, even though there have been natural disasters and man-made tragedies in the middle, the wealth left by this long history is immeasurable.

So, Liyue is not short of money.

Ningguang wants technology more than money.

Digging a little deeper, it turns out that Ningguang wants something that will enhance Liyue's productivity.

After discussing the temporary solution for Tartaglia,
Ningguang spoke again.

"The meeting has come to an end. All proposals have been completed. Does anyone have anything else to say? If not, then the meeting is adjourned."

Several immortals shook their heads.

"No, what I saw and heard today has broadened our horizons."

"Yes, yes, there are indeed a lot of things that Qixing needs to consider."

"With you all leading Liyue, we can rest assured."

Today's meeting, which seemed random but was actually planned for a long time, has once again deepened the immortals' trust in the Seven Stars.

With the support of the immortals, the reforms after the Seven Stars will definitely be much smoother.

"Then we will adjourn the meeting."

"Let's adjourn."

"Let's disperse. I still have to go with Yuheng to check out that machine."

The immortals stood up one after another.

Keqing and Tianshu also stood up to see him off, but Wang Hao did not move.

After they went out,
Ningguang clapped her hands.

Baiwen came in with his people.

"Recover the data and archive it."

"Yes, Lord Tianquan,"

Ignore the collected news.

Ningguang looked at Wang Hao: "It was so easy to convince the immortal just now, you have a good eloquence."

Just now when Master Lishuidieshan was angry, Ningguang was still thinking about what to say better.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hao calmed the immortal down so easily.

"The immortals still make sense."

Wang Hao smiled but didn't say that he cheated.

As Wang Hao said to Osel,

The power of order is not just might.

He can also soothe your mind and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Emotions are also a component of order.

"What are your plans for the next step?"

Ningguang didn't ask any further questions and changed the subject.

Wang Hao shook his head: "Maybe it's to promote the reform of Liyue's laws. Now that the Emperor has left, our laws should also be...people-oriented."

"Oh, any clues?" Ningguang asked with interest.

Wang Hao sat up straight and said seriously:
"With the Emperor gone, the idea of ​​contracts will inevitably be questioned. Simply relying on contracts can no longer restrain people's hearts. I plan to start with the contract law and revise it to be more rigorous and more appropriate."

In the past, Liyue’s contract did not require witnesses because of the existence of the Emperor.

The Emperor's name is the best testimony.

As long as the emperor's name is added, no one dares to violate the contract.

At most, they would just do some word manipulation, which is also a method used by many powerful people to cheat people.

But now, the emperor is gone.

If the contract law cannot be updated in a timely manner, more people will definitely be cheated.

Wang Hao was certain that there would be some bad guys who would take advantage of the Liyue people's trust in the Emperor and play tricks on the contract.

If this were to happen,
So should Zhongli be punished or not?
Punishment, he is a human being now, not a god, so in what name should he be punished?

Therefore, to avoid the retired old man from being forced to work overtime,
Wang Hao decided to improve the contract law first.

At the very least, a simple contract without any witnesses cannot be used as a valid contract.

Of course, we can't do it one size fits all, we need to proceed step by step.
After all, the update of the law cannot be known to everyone at once.

The barrage said that this kind of thing cannot be done even in the Internet age.

Not to mention the letter-based age of Liyue.
