Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me

"What Su Chen said is exactly what I meant." Qin said seriously, "Sir Gailmai, the reason why Dihuo incited the people is simple and clear. It is more important to stabilize the people's hearts than to spend a lot of manpower to encircle and suppress. If the people are no longer suffering, no matter what Dihuo says, it will be useless."

"Don't worry about that." Gailmai raised the corner of his mouth, "I have contacted friends in Liyue a few days ago and purchased a large amount of food from Liyue at a preferential price. It should be delivered to Mondstadt soon."

Su Chen touched his chin, thinking that the so-called preferential price you mentioned is not a discount of more than ten or twenty times, right?

However, Qin's face was slightly better when he heard that the food had been found.

In fact, Mondstadt and Liyue also have trade exchanges. A large amount of food is delivered to Mondstadt every month, but it is obviously not enough at the moment, and it will take time to discuss with Liyue.

The most urgent task is to stabilize the people in the city first.

The meeting ended quickly, and Qin issued a notice to appease the rioting people of Mondstadt, telling them not to listen to the instigation of the Earth Fire, and that a large amount of food would be distributed soon.

Qin knew how difficult it was to get the nobles to give out food, which was equivalent to shaking the foundation of the nobles' interests.

So he could only start from other aspects temporarily.

As for Su Chen, he didn't plan to take action.

Although the actions of the Earth Fire seemed a bit extreme at present, special problems should be handled specially. After experiencing this simulation, he had a deeper understanding of Mondstadt.

The struggle between the nobles and the Earth Fire lasted for five hundred years, and now it should have a result.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what the Earth Fire could do without his leadership.

...

"Teacher."

When Su Chen returned to his residence, Arya, who was cleaning the yard, immediately bowed to him.

"Don't be so nervous." Su Chen smiled slightly, "How is it, are you satisfied with the room?"

Arya nodded.

Coming out of the destitute slums and walking into this single-family courtyard, Arya felt like she was dreaming.

Although she still hasn't figured out what Su Chen wants to teach her as her teacher.

"I brought you some books... Do you know how to read?"

Walking into the house, Su Chen put the books he brought back from the library on the coffee table.

"A little bit."

"Have you learned it before?"

"Well, my father taught me, and then he died in an accident, and my mother lived with me until last year..."

Arya lowered her head.

Su Chen patted her little head and whispered, "Then from today on, this is your home."

Arya raised her head, and her bright eyes flashed with doubt.

"Teacher... why do you want to help me?"

"Because I want to... Is this a reason?" Su Chen smiled lightly, "Okay, don't think too much, the next course will not be easy, in addition to these books, I will arrange for you to learn other things."

"These are..."

"Alchemy from Beginner to Mastery"

"Basic Theory of Element Reaction Mechanism"

"Lianyu Guidance"

Arya looked at it twice and felt her eyes spinning.

"Teacher..." She said bitterly, "These are so difficult, I can't learn them."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

With the Sage Template, these contents are not difficult for Su Chen at all.

Not to mention, the authors of these books have all taken classes under him, and their papers were reviewed by Su Chen.

Of course, Su Chen did not intend to train Arya to be a knowledgeable scholar, but just let her have a basic understanding of some theories. After all, this world is still dominated by elemental forces, and understanding the mechanism can make better use of it.

In addition, Su Chen also plans to teach Arya swordsmanship, which is the essence of the West Wind Swordsmanship five hundred years ago. So far, there are no more than five people in the entire Mondstadt who can learn this set of swordsmanship.

The next day, Lisa appeared in the yard of Su Chen's residence.

She folded her arms and looked at Arya who was reading a book with her head down.

"You asked me to help you find so many books, just for her? You are such a lucky little girl."

"Why do you smell sour? I didn't hide any books when I taught you before." Su Chen chuckled, "What's wrong? Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Qin's situation is not good now."

Lisa turned her face and said seriously.

The meeting just ended yesterday, and Qin issued the notice. As a result, this morning a knight covered in blood brought back the news - the caravan sent from Liyue to Mondstadt was attacked when passing through the Wolf Territory, and all the food was robbed!

The news was quickly spread by people with ulterior motives, and then the whole Mondstadt was in chaos.

Because Qin personally promised that food would be delivered, he was able to appease those people. Now that the matter has failed, Qin first received doubts and questions from the people.

"Now a large number of people have gathered outside the Knights' building, and they all want Qin to give an explanation. I suspect that there are people from Dihuo who are secretly fanning the flames, otherwise it would not be possible to develop so quickly."

"It would be strange if there were no people."

Su Chen was also surprised when he heard the news, and even couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Dihuo's actions.

Intercepting supplies, spreading news to cause panic, and jumping out as a savior after a certain level, Dihuo's series of operations made him see the shadow of five hundred years ago.

"What a surprise." Su Chen touched his chin, "What about Gailmai?"

Lisa asked in confusion: "Why are you asking him?"

"You see, if the news about this batch of food had not been released, the people in Mondstadt would not have said anything and would have just carried on with their lives as usual. It was not like the whole city was running out of food. But Germai gave everyone Hope, the key is that this hope was spread by Qin, and now that hope is shattered, it is more uncomfortable than not telling them in the first place.”

"Do you suspect that Gailmai did all this? Just to suppress Qin?"

"If it's just like this, with the support of the Gunnhild family, what does he mean to a Gaelmai?" Su Chen shook his head, "What you can see on the surface is often confusing information. Just wait, this matter Now that something has happened, there will naturally be beneficiaries to reap the fruits.”

Suddenly he thought of someone.

If there is anyone who is most familiar with the operation of earth fire five hundred years ago, it is undoubtedly the lady, Miss Rosalind.

And if Gailmei wanted to suppress Qin, his own ability alone was obviously not enough. Even if he roped in the deputy captain, if there was someone behind this, then everything would make sense.

Sure enough, when the public questioning reached its peak, a large amount of food suddenly appeared in Mondstadt and was distributed to the poor people through the operation of underground fire.

Immediately afterwards, the Fools put pressure on the Knights and offered to help the Knights solve the dragon plague problem for the sake of the people of Mondstadt.

With the reputation of the Knights at a low point, if they continue to reject the Fools' proposal, the situation will become even more difficult to deal with, not to mention that as the inspector general, Germer jumped out immediately and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Fools. , solve the dragon disaster together.

As the acting leader, Qin is caught in a dilemma.

If she opposes Gelmai, the latter will definitely unite with the Fools, take advantage of the food problem to put pressure on her, and even force her to give up her position as group leader.

But if you agree, then you are playing into the hands of fools.

Once the Fools are involved in the dragon disaster issue, it will be beyond Qin's control.

"I don't agree to provide food relief to the people."

Knights Building.

A group symbolizing the power of the aristocracy gathered here under Qin's call.

The originally planned food was lost, so naturally she had to find a way to get some more, so Qin mentioned asking the nobles of Mondstadt to come up with some of the food.

In this way, it can not only solve the terrorist attack by the underground fire on the pretext of "beating the nobles and sharing food", but also calm down the current riots in Mondstadt.

But sure enough, when this proposal was put forward, it was immediately opposed by almost everyone.

Andre sarcastically said: "Captain Qin, can I understand this as sacrificing our interests to solve your dilemma?"

"This is not my personal problem." Qin said in a deep voice, "Everyone, you should also be aware of the situation in Mondstadt. If this matter is allowed to continue, not only the Knights, but also everyone present will be affected."

"In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the underground fire behind it, which led to today's situation. Captain Qin, I have long said that those guys should not be let go, but you just don't listen. What's the result?"

Germai shook his head.

"Your Excellency, the Inspector General, is right." Andre snorted, "Those damn remnants of the Earth Fire, if they hadn't fanned the flames, how could those ignorant people dare to openly confront us? The top priority now is not for us to come up with something. , but to find ways to deal with those bastards, otherwise it will be like five hundred years ago. The great Captain Rustan once gave everything for Mondstadt. If it were not for the earth fire, Mondstadt would be far more prosperous than it is now! "

"Now that the matter has come to this, will Captain Qin continue to make mistakes? If you continue to insist on this wrong direction, we have to consider whether you are capable of leading Mond to move forward... I think of Mond's voice at that time, Will it make you more embarrassed?"

As he spoke, a smile appeared in Andre's eyes. Before that, he had reached an agreement with other nobles to jointly protect the rights of the nobles.

Want them to give their precious food to those stupid people?

Don't even think about this kind of thing.

...

Chapter 19 Su Chen, the mastermind behind the scenes [ninth update]

The proposal to let the nobles share their grain was naturally rejected. Although Qin guessed that this would be the most likely result, she couldn't help but feel chilled when she saw the faces of all the nobles present who unanimously expressed their decision.

The so-called nobility originally followed the notice of Barbatos overthrowing the tyrant and awarded honors to those who had meritorious service.

That represents the noble spirit that protects Mondstadt.

But with the development of time, there are very few people who can stick to this belief, and more people just want to use the status and rights of the nobles to seek benefits for themselves.

Even in the darkest era of aristocratic power, the old aristocratic rule headed by the Laurence family enveloped the entire Mondstadt. The people of Mondstadt living in that era were miserable, until Fengshen joined forces with Vanessa, the original leader of the Knights, Eventually the aristocratic rule was dismantled.

Today's Mondstadt is no longer as dark as before.

But as a member of Gunnhild, Qin knew how deep the water in the aristocratic circle was.

You must know that even Lord Rustam, the leader of Shining Mondstadt five hundred years ago, used iron-blooded methods to punish the nobles, but he still failed to completely crush this corrupt wind.

"I am now...probably in the same situation as Captain Rustan back then."

In the evening, inside the West Wind Church.

Qin sat alone on the bench and raised her head. The setting sun was setting through the skylight, and the dust was floating in the soft light, like falling dandelions.

Honestly, she was a little confused now.

She just wanted to fight to protect Mondstadt, but even such a simple wish could not be realized?
