I'm in Liyue, but I'm the only person in the chat group?

Yes, the emperor has been watching.

She has nothing to worry about.

Looking at Gan Yu's leaving figure, Han Xiao squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then got up and headed to Xinyuexuan Tea House.

Gan Yu's performance reminded him that he had to ask Zhongli.

"So you came to me?"

Hearing the reason why Han Xiao came to see him, Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and erected a transparent soundproof barrier between the two of them.

"Yes, I want to hear your thoughts."

"If you want to hear my thoughts, then I can only say that my previous commitment remains unchanged."

"That means you don't object to me building a new city in Guiliyuan?"

"I have no objection."

Facing Han Xiao's questions, Zhongli didn't panic at all, whether it was building one city or two cities.

He is just retiring but not leaving Liyue. Who dares to think about this.

"But I'm also curious about your plans."

Obviously, Zhongli was still curious about what Han Xiao planned to do next.

"We should build the road first."

Han Xiao thought about it carefully, and then told Zhongli everything she thought.

To be honest, in Han Xiao's opinion, there are quite a few problems with Liyue's infrastructure, economic environment, education, etc.

Now that Zhongli had promised him to go ahead and build the new city, Han Xiao would naturally not give up such a golden opportunity.

"First of all, when the manpower is available, I will start building roads and embankments to make transportation between Liyue and Mondstadt more convenient. I have prepared the materials."

With that said, Han Xiao took out the cement formula that she had already passed on to Zhongli from the group and handed it to Zhongli.

"Slag cement?"

Limestone, slag, clay and gypsum are some common materials.

Looking at the ingredients on the formula, Zhongli mobilized his divine power to spin it in his hand, and soon the powdery object appeared in front of him.

"It is simple to make and basically only requires high-temperature calcination. It is indeed a good material for construction."

The first time he saw the real thing, as a stoner, Zhongli judged the value of [Slag Cement] at a glance.

It's a good thing, and it's a very important thing to Liyue.

With just this one thing, Han Xiao can become a very rich man in Liyue.

"The value is great. Is this why you have the confidence to change Liyue's industrial structure?"

Before, Zhongli wasn't quite sure why Han Xiao was confident that he could change the industrial structure formed over thousands of years in Liyue, but now it seemed that the other party was indeed prepared.

"It's one of them."

Chapter 36 Zhongli: I feel like I’ve been tricked

From ancient times to the present, the fastest way for news to spread must be through gossip.

Just as Han Xiao and Zhong Li elaborated on their plans for the construction of the new city, a rumor quickly spread throughout Liyue.

Han Xiao, the youngest and most likely to become the first art master in the local puppet world in Liyue, became an official of the General Affairs Department today.

Not only that, he will also be responsible for the next work arrangements for half a million miners.

But before the people of Liyue could explode, the General Affairs Department and Yuehai Pavilion issued an announcement detailing Han Xiao's contribution.

The previous new regulations that were closely related to their lives were drafted and formulated by him.

"My dear, what does it mean to reach the sky in one step? This is called reaching the sky in one step!"

"What's wrong, you're jealous? Don't you think the regulations formulated by Master Han Xiao are very good?"

"What do you call me master? I want to call you Lord Hanxiao."

"Ever since the new regulations came out, all the black-hearted businessmen before Liyue have suffered. From this point of view, I feel that Master Han Xiao is a good official who has us in mind."

"I said that Lord Ningguang Keqing and Lord Gan Yu would come to visit in person before. It turns out that Lord Han Xiao has already seen what he is capable of!"

In general, there are three strategies: "Liyue Product Pricing Guidelines Catalog", "Liyue Market Management Regulations" and "Liyue Top Ten Honest Merchants List".

Except for a small number of people who were harmed by the new regulations and were tempted by lemons, most people in Liyue were quite looking forward to Han Xiao becoming an official of the Department of General Affairs.

If you are capable and considerate of ordinary people like them, why can't you serve as an official of the General Affairs Department?

"Hanxiao, it turns out this kid did something good!"

After receiving the news, Mao Caigong's face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and read out Han Xiao's name.

He never thought that he would be plotted by a guy who had only a small reputation before.

"Master, do you want us to find someone to protest with us?"

Chang Hu on the side carefully put forward his suggestions.

"Hmph, it's easy to think, you think there is no one behind Han Xiao."

In response, Maocai Gong snorted with disdain.

As early as when Han Xiao became famous with his clay puppets, he had thought about getting the other party's people and business, but he didn't expect to receive a warning from Yun Han's family before he took action.

From that moment on, Mao Cai Gong knew that he could not touch Han Xiao.

The connections of a thousand-year-old noble family are not something he can shake.

"Then Master, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Go give gifts to the Yunhan family."

Since you can't touch this guy, then find a way to become friends or allies with him.

The change in Maocaigong's thoughts basically represents the thoughts of most businessmen in Liyue.

After all, anyone could see that Han Xiao was a talent valued by Qixing, and behind him stood the Yunhan family, a prestigious family with thousands of years of history.

The other party will one day become the Seven Stars in charge of Liyue.

If we don't make friends now, we'll wait until later.

However, when they came to the door with gifts, they found that the door of Yunhan's family had been closed, and the servant outside the door also had a "decline" tone.

"As you expected, these businessmen really came to our door, Brother Han."

In the Han Mansion, Yun Jin's father couldn't help but sigh after learning that many businessmen came to the door with gifts.

"I couldn't be on the wrong side of things, and now I want to make a profit. It's a pretty good idea."

Hearing Yun Jin's father's sigh, Han Wu immediately sneered.

Before the regulations came out, the president of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce personally went to find those businessmen on behalf of Han Xiao.

As a result, except for some businessmen with good reputations who agreed to Han Xiao's request, the rest were secretly stirring up trouble.

Now I see that several time-honored brands such as Feiyun Chamber of Commerce have benefited, and I want to gain connections.

His face is really big.

"But Brother Han, it seems that the emperor values ​​Han Xiao very much."

"Do you want us to give you a push from behind?"

Yun Jin's father, who was also aware of the various private operations of these businessmen, did not say much on this topic and turned to Han Xiao.

Judging from the current situation, Han Xiao, a seven-star candidate, is very valued by the emperor, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to work harder.

Anyway, Tianshu Xing has already started preparing to abdicate.

The sooner Han Xiao becomes a Seven Star, the better it will be for the development of the Yun Han family.

"No, we will wait and see what happens."

Camwu shook his head.

He had also thought about Yun Jin's father's idea, but after a private meeting with the president of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he was convinced by him.

Now is not the time for them to show up.

The follow-up arrangements for the 500,000 miners are Han Xiao's big test. The most important thing for them now is to provide security for Han Xiao.

The rest just needs to stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation.

Han Xiao didn't know that just because of himself and a few announcements, there was an undercurrent in the upper echelons of Liyue. He was currently conceiving the planning issues of the new city together with Zhong Li.

"If you follow your ideas, you will have a lot to do."

After listening to Han Xiao's plans for the new city, Zhongli tapped his index finger on the table and his tone became slightly more serious:

"Aren't you afraid that the stall will be too big?"

"So I chose to implement it in the new city."

Faced with Zhongli's doubts, Han Xiao spread her hands out like a bachelor.

Why he wants to build a new city is not because the constraints of Liyue Port are too heavy.

Trying to change any of them may cause bad changes.

In this case, it is better to start over again and use the development of new urban areas to force Liyue Port to reform.

"So far, your idea is feasible."

"But I'm afraid my eyes will be fixed on you from now on, because I need to always make sure that you don't touch certain taboos."

"I have no opinion."

Faced with Zhongli's rather straightforward statement that he wanted to 'monitor' herself, Han Xiao was not only not angry but secretly happy.

Surveillance, hahaha, I'm just afraid that you won't monitor me.

You know, I have prepared a big gift for you.

How can I rehire you if you don't monitor me?

Seeing the flash of joy on Han Xiao's face, Zhongli suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Didn't he already plan to retire?

Why is it that he not only participated in Han Xiao's planning for the new city, but also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of supervising Han Xiao.

For a moment, Zhongli's hand felt a little itchy.

"That's it, Mr. Zhongli!"

"I've left a good place for you, contract oh contract!"

Seeing Zhongli suddenly become silent, Han Xiao, who sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere, immediately stood up, gestured to Zhongli twice quickly, and left the teahouse without looking back.

After all, if he continued to stay here, Han Xiao was afraid that he would be pushed to the ground by Zhong Erzhu and beaten violently.

"Little friend Hanxiao, please come and sit in the Shengtang Hall when you have time."

Looking at Han Xiao's 'escaping' figure, Zhongli thought for a while and sent a 'death invitation' in his ear.
