Liyue Taoist of the original god

Mondstadt, in the office of the leader of the Knights of the West Wind, Qin looked at Kaia standing in front of her and asked with some hope.

"Kaia, has Diluc changed his mind?"

"I'm sorry, Diluc did not agree to your request, and my persuasion had no effect. Even when he knew that I was going to be a lobbyist, he just asked me to express my intention and sent me away.

Already."

With a look of helplessness, Kaia spread his hands, not showing that he had tried his best.

He looked at Qin, who was frowning, and asked tentatively: "Qin, things aren't that bad yet, right?"

“It’s not there yet, but looking at the trend, it’s almost there.

I can't blame him,

The intrusion of the Wind Demon Dragon has indeed dealt a huge blow to Mondstadt's business.

Thank you Kaia, I’ll think of something else.”

"Has it become so bad? Then Diluc promised me that he would not let other caravans from Mondstadt follow his caravan trade. Is this news useful?"

"Thank you Fengshen, finally some good news has come."

That's what he said, but Qin knew that it was not enough.

But it is useless to force Kaiya now. She knows the crux of the problem. As long as the problem of the Wind Demon Dragon is not solved, everything will still slip into that bad situation.

Turning around and looking at the sky outside the window, Qin thought of Kelly who had gone out, and then turned to Kaia and said.

"I have something else to trouble you now. You also know that I can't leave here now.

But Kelly is clamoring to go to the Whispering Forest today to find the treasure she buried before.

I asked Amber to accompany her,

But it's been a day now and they haven't come back yet, so I'm a little worried..."

Although the words were not finished, Kaiya had already understood, and he nodded and took over the matter directly.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take someone to find you right now."

"Trouble."

After Kaia left, Jean slumped down in her chair,

She closed her eyes, stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the frown between her frowning eyebrows, trying to relieve the anxiety in her heart.

But it turned out to be in vain.

She was already tied up by endless trivial matters,

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back,

She was a little breathless from the recent events involving Diluc.

Now all the big businessmen in Mondstadt know a piece of news,

That is, the Legenfund family has a new business, a big business of selling wine to Solstice and Fontaine.

This is nothing, just a simple business.

Even because of this business,

It will make the Legenfund family, which already controls half of Mondstadt's wine industry, even richer, which is not a big deal to Mondstadt.

These are things worth talking about in the eyes of businessmen and common people.

In Qin's opinion, there is no need to worry about this.

She even knows some inside stories,

I am not worried at all about Diluc’s choice to cooperate with Liyue’s family, Gu Oak

What worries her is that Diluc chose not to use Jingfu Port, but directly transport the goods to Liyue Port before setting off.

The news that Kaia heard from the tavern a few days ago further confirmed her worries.

If Mondstadt was peaceful and tranquil in the past, then this choice would be okay. Mondstadt is a free city-state, and people admire freedom under the guidance of the God of Wind. Moreover, this is a perfectly normal trade.

But it doesn't work now. Due to the appearance of the Wind Demon Dragon, the wilderness, forests and mountains outside Mondstadt are now filled with various monsters.

Not only did those monsters block trade routes, but villages were also attacked from time to time.

If she hadn't sent almost all the members of the Knights of the West Wind to patrol outside the city and eliminate monsters, then all other places in Mondstadt would have fallen except the city.

But even if it is achieved to this extent, with the help of the Adventurers Association, it can only barely maintain a trade route, and safety cannot be guaranteed.

As a result, Mondstadt's trade has now become somewhat stagnant, which has indirectly led to the accumulation of public dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, what makes matters worse is that as a member of the Legenfund family, Diluc's choice deeply irritated many other merchants and families in the city.

They woke up one after another,

Now in Mondstadt where the Wind Demon Dragon is raging,

Instead of taking the risk of being attacked by the Wind Demon Dragon or other monsters and causing bankruptcy,

It's better to follow the Legenfund family's caravan.

Anyway, Liyue Port is also the most prosperous port in the seven countries.

Many merchants and families basically conduct their cross-border trade through Liyue Port.

This is just a matter of paying some land transportation costs, which is much better than losing everything after being attacked.

And if these merchants really do this, Jingfu Port will suffer huge losses, which will directly lead to Mondstadt's current tight finances becoming even more difficult.

The optimal solution is of course to solve the problem of the Wind Demon Dragon, and then all problems will be solved.

It's a pity that it can't be done now,

Mondstadt currently has too little high-end combat power.

After excluding those necessary positions, the only ones who could be transferred were Amber and Yura. If she was included in the job, she would have the confidence to take this risk.

But the Wind Demon Dragon is really hard to find, and Qin doesn't have much free time because she is involved in the affairs of the acting captain. Amber, as a detective knight, has tried very hard, but has not been able to find out the specific information.

So Amber was given the day off today.

To put it simply, today's Mondstadt is like a knot that is getting tighter and tighter. The links are interlocked. Qin is restrained and can only watch the situation getting worse without being able to do anything.

Qin looked at an application letter delivered on the table, and a feeling of powerlessness came over her and flowed throughout her body.

The content of this application letter is very simple. The noble businessmen of Mondstadt jointly petitioned to send people to dig a canal at the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue Shimen to connect the water sources at the junction of the two countries so that ships can travel together to facilitate them.

trade.

They have even calculated on-the-spot how long the excavation will be, and what's even more outrageous is that they are willing to bear all the excavation costs.

Because of this application, Qin deeply understood that even if those merchants did not get the guarantee of doing business with the Legenfund family caravan, it would not stop them from choosing to abandon Jingfu Port.

Do you really want to agree to a military alliance with Zhi Dong?

As soon as this thought arose, Qin shook it away from her mind.

This is absolutely not possible. Mondstadt, where the God of Freedom resides, must not compromise on this point!

Thinking of this, Qin regained her energy, took out a piece of letter paper, and began to write a letter.

Now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, the best way is of course to reduce losses. Now that the intentions of those merchants have become obvious, the general trend is that Liyue can only send an envoy to renegotiate the trade matters.

.

Fortunately, five years have passed, and it is time to renegotiate a new trade agreement.

At the same time, at a certain beach in Mondstadt, Ying was operating a simple fishing rod, stroking her hungry belly, and waiting intently for the fish to take the bait.
