Half a month later, Yujingtai.

This spring is destined to leave a mark in the history of Liyue.

Following the magnificent Liyue Defense War and the resounding victory in the Liyue Financial War, Liyue ushered in another major event.

Seven days ago, Emperor Yanwang issued a decree, saying that the deadline had come and he was ready to return the power of Liyue to the people. Subsequently, the General Affairs Department promulgated a new political system and established a new system of seven stars governing and nine stars making decisions. The two newly listed as national-level senior officials are Secretary-General Tsuki Kaitei, Zuofuxing Ganyu, and National Advisor Niwa of Uishoshi.

Three days ago, the emperor's soul returned to heaven, ending his 3,700-year rule over Liyue, and Liyue officially entered the era of human rule.

Because the news had already spread, although the people of Liyue were sad, there was no major turmoil.

Today, tens of thousands of people gathered at Yujingtai to participate in the ceremony of sending immortals to Emperor Yanwang.

The person presiding over the ceremony was Hu Tao.

She was a skilled worker who had once held a ceremony for the great sea snake god Orobas on Baling Island, so she would certainly not go wrong in holding an orthodox ceremony to send immortals to Liyue.

Ning Guang and Ni Yu, who had not yet had their turn to appear, hid in a deserted place and looked at the crowded Yujing Terrace from a distance, chatting in low voices.

"Your hall master is becoming more and more like a general." Ningguang praised.

"No, I, a general, was almost buried by her..." Niyu showed a toothache expression.

Ning Guang glanced at him with a half-smile, then changed the topic to something else, "Tell me, the emperor isn't peeking somewhere, right?"

"Don't worry, it's not true. He was dragged to Mondstadt to participate in the Wind Flower Festival."

Ning Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pinched his eyebrows with a headache, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that the emperor would retreat so quickly and completely... Originally, I thought that the emperor would retreat behind the scenes first, and then slowly fade out of the public's sight. .”

"The emperor also has good intentions. Failure to retire completely means not retiring at all. Without this method, the people of Liyue will not regard Qixing as the true supreme leader of Liyue, which will not be conducive to Liyue's change of mentality and a new start."

"Now it's Jiu Yao, and you have a share."

"No need to emphasize this point, I've never been lazy!"

After a moment of silence, Ningguang asked tentatively: "Can't we reveal the emperor's cover identity?"

Ni Yu looked at her speechlessly, "You've asked me thirty-seven times! You really can't! Only You Bixing in Jiu Yao can know this secret. This is an eternal rule! Otherwise, you can ask the Three Immortals Jueyun and the Great Conquering Demon Holy shit, they all know it!"

"...Forget it, I'm going to get ready to play."

The simple ceremony quickly came to an end. After the leader bid farewell to the emperor, Ningguang climbed onto the high platform and looked at the crowded crowd.

"Today, we bid farewell to a god, a leader, and a mentor."

"He created this country and guided us forward with unparalleled wisdom and strength for 3,700 years. His passing is the end of an era and a loss for all of us."

"We used to rely on him, just like a child relies on his father. The long years of 3,700 years made us think that this happy dream would never wake up."

"But time is ruthless. Just as all children will grow up and become independent, and all fathers will grow old and pass away, Liyue has now ushered in this moment."

"Fortunately, we've learned how to survive on our own."

"We showed our bravery, fearlessness, tenacity, and unity to the emperor! We showed our ability and determination to protect our homeland!"

"So he handed Liyue over to us, just like a father handing over the family fortune to his children!"

"As the first mortal to take over the authority of Liyue, I feel terrified in my heart. I am worried that my limited wisdom and strength are not enough to shoulder such an important task, and I am worried that I will betray the trust of the emperor and everyone."

"But the emperor told me, don't be afraid. If there is no god in the world, Liyue will belong to the people of Liyue! I believe in the people, they can shoulder the future of Liyue!"

"Compatriots! The emperor did not entrust Liyue to the Eight Sects of Jiuyao, but to all of us! Liyue's future will be shouldered by us together!"

"As your leader, I hereby re-establish the 'contract'!"

As the last word fell, two curtains fell. Everyone looked up and saw an additional couplet at the gate of Yuehai Pavilion.

On the journey of the great road, the world is for the common good!

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible!

Ningguang's voice became louder and louder, "From now on, Liyue will be the country of humans! Liyue's future will be created by all of us!"

----------

Liyue entered the era of human rule. For some people, there was not much change, but for others it meant earth-shaking changes.

Niwa belongs to the latter.

He never thought that he would return to the life of Fu Bao after he had reached the Zhengguo level in Liyue.

"Are there any questions about the budget list for the original first phase of Guili's development?"

Two cat-ear-shaped buns emerged from the pile of documents.

"Huh? Ah...there's still something wrong..."

Niyu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly handed over the revised list in his hand.

"The security budget needs to be increased by 15%? Why?" Keqing stood up, her rose-colored eyes full of doubts.

"Because the demolition experts we hired are from Mondstadt..."

"???"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Gan Yu staggered in with a large pile of information.

Niyu stepped forward to take it, and seeing her expression as if she was about to fall asleep, he quickly reached out and gave her a hand, "Are you okay?"

Gan Yu shook his head, raised his head and glanced at the wall clock, wondering: "It's noon so soon? No wonder I can't stop feeling sleepy..."

"...Didn't you have three secretaries assigned to you? Why do you still do everything yourself all day long?"

"I was all exhausted yesterday, and the new guy hasn't been transferred yet..."

Niyu looked at her speechlessly, and then at Keqing who was working hard.

This two-pronged pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes are good at everything, but it’s a bit labor-intensive to do things. It takes half a month to consume more than a dozen people...

Keqing seemed to feel Niyu's gaze, raised her head suddenly, and cast a warning look at him, "Don't go to her place! I can't live without you here!"

Niyu curled his lips secretly.

Isn’t that right? A hero nourished by the dragon's blood can stand up to a dozen of them. He has single-handedly reduced the turnover rate under Yu Hengxing by 70%. Who would be willing to let others take over?

Niyu could only encourage Gan Yu in a low voice: "If you hold on for a few more days, I'll tell Ningguang that I'll assign you three teams of people to work in shifts."

Gan Yu nodded, then shook his head, "The General Affairs Department is very short of manpower right now. I'm afraid it won't be able to provide so many people..."

Uh...this is more embarrassing.

Only then did Niyu remember that it was precisely because of his recent Guiliyuan development plan and the expansion of Liyue's commercial infrastructure that Liyue's recent labor market was so hot that a country with a population of tens of millions actually experienced a labor shortage!

This... where can I get some people from?
