Genshin Impact: Emperor

He paused for a moment, looking left and right, as if he was guarding against someone prying, and he said angrily in a low voice when he realized that there was nothing unusual.

"One by one is the guy who is determined to follow those mercenaries."

Ying raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Zhongli said before that the appointment policy is the one that manages the financial affairs of outlying islands among the three policies.

"Yes, high taxes, unreasonable rules,

These aren't really the worst things.

Gritting your teeth and enduring it, it passed.Worst of all this time, the new tax law

The decree has just been promulgated, and the form of tax that needs to be paid has changed from Mora to a commodity called crystallized bone marrow. "

"Crystalized bone marrow?"

"Even before the decree was promulgated, most of the merchants in the Chamber of Commerce had never heard of this kind of goods, until an old merchant from Liyue recognized that this was the material he had transported to Winter's Land when he was young. Reluctantly, everyone still searched for crystallized bone marrow everywhere, and then paid it as taxes.

But it was later discovered that this was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. As the demand for paying taxes increased, the price of external crystallized bone marrow also continued to rise.Until later, only one merchant was left in stock, and it was not available anywhere else. "

Jiulixu shook his head and sighed again, wondering whether Zhidong Kingdom was causing trouble again, and it was not impossible for the fools to jointly plan to implement the dictatorship against General Dao's Wife Lei Dian.

"In terms of general rationality, this situation is a monopoly."

"You understand Zhongli very well."

Zhongli touched Paimeng's hair, Paimeng didn't back away, he just jokingly said: "Isn't Liyue the biggest monopoly leader in Tivat? After all, the currency mora that circulates in the whole continent comes from Liyue

0

"That's true, but Liyue's monopoly on currency comes from its long and stable history, fair and open business environment, and the unyielding dominance of King Yan, who can still ensure the currency circulation of the seven countries in troubled times. Only Liyue has this ability, so there is no mention of it among the Seven Kingdoms."

Jiulixu continued: "It's a pity that not everyone can have a strong market control like Liyue's rock god. Before his soul returns to the sky, that rock god can still be able to descend once a year. The oracle is also very difficult.

???0 ask for flowers

The final result of the monopoly is that the businessman also started to raise the price unscrupulously. We are angry, but due to the pressure of the law, we still have to buy from him... The result of such a vicious circle is that the tax is about to exceed ours. profit!If it goes on like this, alas..."

"It's really deceiving.

Ying was indignant, and the thunder from the sea could be faintly heard, "Hasn't President Jiulisu ever thought about going to discuss with the person who appointed the executive?"

"Well, of course we have tried to communicate with them about the decree, but in this land full of thunder, who can hear the voices of us businessmen in desperate situations? We have clearly united , but still being treated like this. Oh, Fontaine, Fontaine, my hometown...I miss you so much."

"Home from thousands of miles away, from Youyou's hometown."

Zhong Li shook his head: "Liyue pays attention to contracts, Fontaine advocates justice, Mr. Jiulisu, we have already realized your thoughts."

"This kind of thing is simply not giving people a way to survive!"

Paimon was also angry, "Ying, what do you think?"

"Try trying to convince Kan Ding to follow through, or... that businessman has something strange.

Taking a glance at Zhongli, he pondered:

"Perhaps that businessman and Kan Ding are in the same boat"? Isn't that right?

"Hmm! Mr. Zhongli really can guess what I'm thinking.

"Is that businessman?" Jiu Lixu was thoughtful, "Actually, I used to have contacts with him, but later he cut off contact with our Chamber of Commerce of all nations, and I don't know where his goods come from... Think so It’s really unreasonable, maybe it’s what you think.”

"It's better to test the information!"

Paimon's proposal was approved by Jiulixu, "As people outside the chamber of commerce and new foreigners on the island, he should relax his vigilance to receive you. His name is Werner, and he is not far from the residential area near the sea. Under the tree, that is the place where our Chamber of Commerce of Nations usually meets with him."

"Got it! Paimon and Ying will help you!"

"I am very grateful. If you have nowhere to go, you can consider coming to our Chamber of Commerce." Yu.

Chapter 7 Sky Lantern

Jiu Lixu left a final thank you full of vicissitudes, and Zhongli, Ying and Paimeng returned to the place near the sea where the red maple was burning.

Zhongli informed that the crystallized bone marrow is a kind of crystal that contains the power of the gods. It is added during smelting, which can greatly improve the strength and toughness of sword products.

Although she was a little concerned about Zhongli's thoughtful appearance, Ying didn't think too much about it. She looked at it with her elemental vision, and soon she saw a businessman dressed up beside a withered tree that had lost all its maple leaves. A man standing in front of a box of purple crystals.

"Huh? Unseen face, new here?"

The businessman wasn't dressed very well, it was a little tattered, and he thought he was looking at the sea before, but when he heard the footsteps behind him, his eyes turned back, and his brows looked tired.

The businessman looked at Zhongli, Ying and Paimeng walking towards him, put his arms around his arms, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Mr. Werner, we have only recently landed on the island."

"So "Six Seven Three" said, what do you want to find me for? Since you know my name, you must be looking for crystallized bone marrow."

Ying asked bluntly: "About your supply situation..."

"Go, go, do you understand the rules? I told you the way to source the goods. Can I still do business? Commercial secrets, do you understand commercial secrets? Don't bother me if you come here on purpose, I am Big businessman, he's very busy!"

Werner snorted disdainfully, glared at Ying, and waved her hand to signal her to leave quickly so as not to cause trouble.

Paimon spread his arms and muttered, "This man's attitude is really bad.

"Well, can the price be cheaper?"

"Ask the price if you want to buy it or not? Oh, I see... Did the people from Gurishu ask you to intercede?"

In a few words, the businessman's keen sense of smell made Werner already smell the breath of conspiracy. He guessed the cause and effect very well, or in other words, he already knew who his business would offend.

He sneered and shook his head, "Oh, it's not up to them, the price is all about it!"

"why is it like this!"

Paimon complained aggrievedly.

Werner didn't take it seriously.

"Let's go, let's go! Tell Jiulisu and the others that you should thank me if you can buy the goods from me. Without me, they can't even pay the job. How dare they bargain?"

"What to do, I can't talk to him at all..."

Paimeng and Ying talked softly, and when they were thinking of a plan, Zhongli had already stepped forward and said, "Crystalized bone marrow is the most abundant thing in the area around the Beisha (bei) sand and the snake bone mine of the fallen demon god. It's a pity It is far away from outlying islands, and foreigners can never step in. It is not easy for Mr. Werner to go deep into the hinterland of Daozuma, and the price is justified."

Werner frowned slightly

Show some seriousness,

"Sir is an expert.

"Sure enough, we still have to rely on Zhongli (Mr.) at critical times." Ying and Paimeng prepared to wait and see.

"Mr Werner, take it easy,

Naturally, you have to buy it.

I just don't know that this crystallized bone marrow,

Fidelity or not.

Werner snickered, "Sir, I own an ore shop, can I still sell you fake ore?"

"Ordinary businessmen don't dare to go in and out of such a dangerous place."

Werner narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sir, are you here to find fault?"

"I dare not, I just don't know how much this crystallized bone marrow is worth?"

"One hundred thousand moras per catty."

"One hundred thousand moras?"

Ying and Paimeng cried out in alarm. Although they knew that the price was outrageous, they never thought it would be so outrageous. No wonder Jiulixu would suffer so much.

"Is your crystallized bone marrow made of gold or silver?"

Ying couldn't stop complaining, Werner snorted coldly, looking reassured, "Just say whether you want it or not!"

"Mr. Werner, you used to collect shells on the beach to make a living."

The calm words did not seem to be asking at all, but seemed to know him well, Werner frowned and asked, "So what?"

He suddenly realized that Zhong Li looked strangely familiar.

Zhongli looked at the sea covered with waves and waves, and with the falling red leaves, he seemed to be recalling the past, and he had seen people who did similar things. "

I just remembered a barefoot from Yaoguang Beach

4 mouths

A merchant selling at the South Pier.

?I used to be on an outlying island,

"??? What are you talking about?

□ a

Werner's face changed slightly, he looked at Zhongli fixedly, and suddenly remembered something from the past, a golden light in his memory broke through the shackles of darkness.

"Mr. Werner is from Mond."

???

"What a coincidence? Let the wind guide you, and may the wind god protect you." Seemingly knowing what Zhong Li was thinking, he interjected with a smile, and greeted Werner as a West Wind knight.

"On such a day, it's best to have a glass of dandelion wine. It would be great if there is a bard to come to a little song."

Paimon also echoed, and Zhongli flipped his palm, and a glass of dandelion wine appeared in his palm. Then, as if by magic, he gave a glass to Werner, Ying, and Paimon one by one... 0

"This situation is just like the old days, cheers."

Zhongli raised his wine glass, and Ying bumped into it with a smile. Paimon cheered loudly and flew up to get closer. Werner stared at the dandelion wine in front of him, smelled the breath of his hometown, felt a little bit ashamed, and suddenly wanted to leave.

"Sir, are you..."

"Mr Werner."

Zhong Li interrupted him, and just raised his glass to signal, "When you are away from home, everyone lives in peace and troubles, so don't worry about it."

Werner's expression was complicated, and finally he let out a long sigh. He raised his glass and clinked glasses with Zhongli, Ying, and Paimon who were watching him. With the crisp "ding" sound of clinking glasses, the wine entered his throat and swallowed thousands of words. go.

"By the way, I still have Sea Lantern Festival 'Great Work' here to make the rest of the lanterns!"

Ying seemed to think of something, and took out a sky lantern from her backpack. It happened to be night, and it was the most suitable time to light it.

"Sky Lantern...
