Original God, but the real world

Chapter 109 108-Well, you earned it

There is only one currency recognized in the whole world, and this currency called Mora can only be produced by the Golden House.

So Jiang Qing was curious about a question.

Inazuma has already closed its country, who will support their Mora system?

In a world where the currency is entirely supported by Liyue, there is a country that wants to break away from Liyue's trade cooperation, lock itself up, and play by itself.

This is certainly problematic.

The shogunate must have stored a large amount of Mora in preparation for unexpected events.

But after the country was closed to the outside world, Mora from the outside world could not flow into Inazuma's market, and Inazuma herself could not produce Mora.

Anyone with a little sensitivity to numbers can easily see that there are huge problems in Inazuma's market.

After the isolation order, Inazuma should quickly come up with a monetary system that is only applicable to Inazuma to replace Mora.

Obviously, Mora, who was given birth by Liyue, could not take care of Inazuma who was isolated in the country.

So if the shogunate wants to control its own monetary power, it must at least be able to print money for itself so that it can circulate, right?

Although wealth is always circulating, the total amount of currency in circulation is always increasing due to the improvement of social productivity.

Just like what you can buy with 100 Mora ten years ago and 100 Mora now are definitely not the same things.

Money will gradually become worthless.

"I heard that there has been internal fighting in Inazuma right now, with the rebels fighting against the shogunate army."

Jiang Qing said slowly, "War will destroy the lives of the lower classes."

"Everyone is too distracted to live and too busy trying to survive, but they are able to hold on."

In other words, perhaps during this period, the demand for money flowing in Inazuma should be declining.

So even without the influx of foreign Mora, they can barely support the market from collapsing.

But this is not permanent.

"But the shogunate will win sooner or later." Jiang Qing looked at the sorcerer lady with a gentle expression, "After they win, they will naturally start to promote the development of Inazuma again."

"And even if it can hold out for the time being, what will happen to Inazuma a hundred years from now?"

Zhongli looked at the Firefly Warlock, waiting for her answer.

In fact, He and Jiang Qing had the same answer.

There is no way the resistance can win.

There is no need for any variables. As long as the Raiden Shogun is placed on the side of the shogunate, the shogunate will naturally be the winner.

The reason why those unfortunate people on Kaiji Island can still hold on is simply because the general has not taken any action yet.

If he was serious, Jiang Qing couldn't understand how the rebels could withstand the blow and not start over.

The outcome was so obvious, didn’t the shogunate consider how to restore production after the war?
As long as people start to live their lives again, it is obvious that social productivity will recover and even become stronger in a short period of time.

War will redistribute resources and thus activate the vitality of most people.

That is to say, during this period, Inazuma people may have a bit of a hard time.

But once the war is over, they will have to start their lives again, right?
Inazuma has no external enemies, so their development will only be smoother.

It's impossible that the shogunate can't even see what will happen several years later, right?
They should be able to see the rebels defeated and Inazuma's environment restored to a certain extent.

Besides, Inazuma has locked himself off from the country.

If it weren't for someone like Jiang Qing who knew that the isolation order would be lifted in the future, the shogunate would probably think that they would be the only human kingdom in the world for thousands of years to come.

How could they not consider these issues?
Unless Shinsuke Hiiragi and Takayuki Kujo are both idiots.

But Jiang Qing believed that they must be bad people, but he was definitely not stupid.

"Yes." The Lightning Warlock gave the answer, "Through the North Country Bank, the Fatui injected a large amount of Mora into Inazuma to maintain their business."

"Okay." Jiang Qing was not too surprised.

If he had to say it, he was just surprised by the other party's honesty.

"I am very satisfied with your gift, sir." Jiang Qing took the initiative to extend his hand, "Happy cooperation."

He had no choice but to cooperate with the young master.

Regardless of whether the other party didn't know or really gave such an order, his generosity made it impossible for Jiang Qing to refuse.

The Thunder Firefly Warlock shook hands with Jiang Qing and then parted ways.

This person...is he just intuitive or does he know something else?

[It's a testing ground.]

Jiang Qing smiled gently.

If Pantalone is considered a qualified opponent, then all his actions should be traceable.

Because he was a tough guy who established the Bank of the North and fought hard against Liyue when the monetary power of the world was in the hands of Liyue Harbor.

Jiang Qing cannot predict the choices of most people because he does not understand a person's character and ability.

But he always felt that a smart person would definitely do something valuable.

Pantalone knew earlier than anyone else, even Jiang Qing, that Morax would lose the Heart of God.

Based on this, he should know even more that Morax cannot create Mora.

How could such a person not make any preparations when he knew about such a big event?

At this time, Inazuma pushed for the isolation order and wanted to have fun on her own.

That's perfect. We can use Inazuma as a testing ground to test the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a new monetary system.

In Inazuma's land, Kujo Takayuki was confident that with General Raiden there, he could accept the cooperation of the Fatui with impunity, and then take advantage of it without admitting anything, and the Fatui would not dare to retaliate.

The Fatui are also patiently doing their work, uniting with Kujo Takayuki through chips, and then doing their own things.

No one is simply being exploited, everyone has something to gain.

It’s just that some people earn more and some people earn less.

And the price...the price was borne by the rebels and the lower class people of Inazuma.

After trial and error in Inazuma, we can take it back to Winter Solstice and start trying it on a small scale, and finally promote it to the Seven Kingdoms.

They prepared in advance and had an entire country to cooperate with them as a testing ground, so Zhidong's victory was not an exception at all, but a matter of course.

In fact, Jiang Qing would not be surprised at all if Pantarone had more arrangements.

There are actually a lot of smart and talented people in this world.

They just missed an opportunity.

And Pantarone had this opportunity and started making arrangements long in advance.

The Fatui's plan to seize God's Heart may have only been implemented this year.

But the previous arrangements, layout, invasion, differentiation... these were not achieved overnight.

Jiang Qing wanted to use his situation as he had only been here for less than a year and the knowledge of a normal person to challenge a country's nearly 500 years of preparation.

This is not very realistic.

Therefore, Jiang Qing never dared to feel that he was sure of victory.

He would only breathe a sigh of relief after a real victory, but he would never pop champagne at halftime and think that he had won.

Wan Yan was a little curious about Jiang Qing's identity.

She realized that the reason the Fatui supported her archaeological work was simply for Jiang Qing.

But no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she couldn't remember ever hearing of Jiang Qing's reputation.

"Ma'am, how about we get straight to the point?" Jiang Qing said.

"Of course." Wan Yan nodded, "If you don't mind."

She looked at Zhongli.

The Firefly Warlock also looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli:...

In any case, this unique archaeological work with different purposes has begun.

But this time, there is no need to look for anything left after Osel was defeated.

Because everyone has a clear and specific purpose.

No one does this for archaeology; everyone has their own purpose, and that purpose is centered on... [Salt of the Earth].

“Legend has it that under the protection of Heulia, the Demon Goddess of Salt, her people did enjoy a prosperous life for a period of time.” Zhongli folded his arms.

He knew most of the things on Liyue, but regarding Heulia, that was a long time ago.

He had to recall.

"So Heulia should indeed be a powerful god." Jiang Qing was a little puzzled. "In an era of chaos, if His people can enjoy a prosperous life."

"The Salt Demon God shouldn't be weak."

If one only has wealth but lacks the power to preserve it, it will easily be regarded as a granary or treasure house by others.

Moreover, it was a chaotic period like the Demon War.

But since Heulia can allow the people to enjoy a wealthy life, she should at least be able to ensure the safety of the believers, right?

Otherwise how can it be called life? At best it is just survival.

“Then we may have to look for more evidence.” Zhongli did not answer directly, “Anyway, this place has been visited countless times by scavengers and treasure-stealing groups.”

"Given their life skills, there shouldn't be anything valuable left here."

Only Zhongli is left.

Zhongli is the master at pretending to be confused.

Everyone knew that archaeology was a cover, but He was still able to remember this cover, instead of exposing his purpose with just a glance or two or three words from Jiang Qing Wanyan.

"It doesn't matter." Wan Yan suddenly remembered that she was an archaeologist.

Having been in contact with these two little black guys for too long, her emotions were so complicated that she almost forgot her original purpose.

"I know there is a relic deep in the cave that is related to the [Demon of Salt]." Wan Yan said in a complicated tone, "According to the ancient books, this is also the origin of the name Salt of the Earth."

The so-called ancient books are, of course, the records left in her family.

Someone must have discovered the ruins.

Such a large relic, let alone the professionals like the treasure-hunting group who made a living by excavating relics in the early days, could be found by just two people looking for traces.

The reason why it hasn't been cleaned up yet is of course because the protection measures for the ruins are quite good.

"But the entrance to the ruins is sealed by a mysterious force, and no one has been able to unlock it."

Wan Yan sighed slightly.

She used to come here, but... she couldn't get in.

The descendant of the believer of the God of Salt wanted to find evidence that the God of Salt was assassinated by Morax, but he couldn't even get through the door.

"If we can get in, it won't be our turn." The Leiying magician was not affected at all. "But I heard from you, Master, that Mr. Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, is a scholar. Do you know how to break the seal of this relic?"

She knew Morax's identity.

Zhongli only told Qixing and Xianren, but Ying and Tartaglia were present at the time.

Tartaglia looked dazed.

When Tartaglia thought about how he had paid Zhongli to tell him how to deal with Liyue, he felt very uncomfortable.

Of course he didn't say it explicitly, but Zhongli definitely knew it.

Tartaglia spent so much Morax to befriend Zhongli, only to find out that Zhongli was actually Morax...
I can't stand it any longer.

Of course, the target this time is Jiang Qing rather than Zhongli. It is not easy for him to show up, but the one he found is also a middle or high-level leader of the Fatui.

The key is to be smart and sensible.

Even if you tell her that Zhongli is Morax, she won't tell anyone, she just knows what to do.

Zhongli glanced at her.

Rosaline and Tartaglia both knew His identity, and if they knew it, it meant that the entire Fatui leadership knew it.

In this way, this identity is actually not very safe.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Qixing will keep the news secret.

Compared to himself, Qixing might not want the news that Morax is still alive to spread.

Morax can live, but it is best if he lives only in people's thoughts, during times of mourning and sacrifice.

Rather than actually being alive.

Buddha and gods should live among the incense of human beings, rather than in front of all living beings.

The people of Liyue had just left the gods, but they had begun to understand this truth.

In a way, the Great Sage's backstabbing is not surprising at all.

A god who has lost his divine power...how can he be called a god? He is clearly a very special life form.

For special cases, people should study and explore why it is special and whether its specialness can bring us more benefits.

Anyway, Nashida is safe and sound.

He is always merciful, always kind, and always willing to give those who do wrong a chance.

"This seal has existed for a long time. If it could be broken, this place would have been emptied long ago."

Wanyan was a little unconvinced.

She actually also placed her hopes on Zhongli, but when she saw the Thunder Firefly Warlock vowing that Zhongli would be able to break the seal that she was helpless to break, her words suddenly changed.

"Even if it's Mr. Zhongli, I'm afraid..."

“I know a little bit.” Zhongli nodded slightly. “There is a lot of information circulating in the market, including some related to unlocking the seal.”

"And I happen to know a few methods to break this seal."

Ok?
Wan Yan wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally just sighed.

Ruined.

If I continue to associate with these people, not only will I lose the truth, but I might even lose more than ten years of my life.

I’m afraid what I just said is not true, because you’ve seen it again in the blink of an eye.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have said it. Wouldn't it be better for me to just watch your performance? !

"Is that so?" Wan Yan forced a smile, "This is really good news."

If you can't laugh, don't force it.

Jiang Qing smiled happily.

He had no ill will towards Wan Yan.

Assuming that the truth is indeed so, then even if she finds out some dirt on Morax, what good will it actually do her?

A person who is willing to work hard for something that obviously has no benefit but requires a huge price to pay is always worth looking at a little more favorably.

Of course, this doesn't stop him from enjoying the occasional joke.

In terms of actions, there are some differences between her and the young master that day, but the difference is not big.

The young master paid Zhongli to plot against Liyue, and she asked Zhongli to find dirt on Morax.

But she spent so little money!
Make money, you must make money!
"This is indeed good news." Jiang Qing agreed, "This way, we can save more time and get evidence to prove Morax's crime as soon as possible."

"Prove Morax's guilt?"

The Firefly Warlock was slightly stunned.

She was brought in temporarily, and her main job was actually to discuss business with Jiang Qing.

She also knew about the cover of this business negotiation, but she mainly knew about Wan Yan's background and didn't know much about Wan Yan's purpose.

"Mr. Jiang Qing." Wan Yan was somewhat helpless. "How could you say these things to the Fatui?"

She really didn't know how to be angry.

"It's okay." Jiang Qing waved his hand and explained, his words were somewhat indifferent, "You have to believe in the Fatui. Although they have cooperated with the Seven Stars, they will not tell the Seven Stars about our purpose."

"The gossip in Liyue says that the person who released Osel and assassinated the Emperor is the same person, and that person is a young man who holds a high position in the Fatui."

Jiang Qing smiled playfully: "The news has spread like this, how could the Fatui reveal our purpose to the Seven Stars?"

"These are all nonsense." The Lightning Warlock had to refute, "Although there is no smoke without fire, how could the young master know how to release the seal of Osel, or how could the young master assassinate the God of Rock?"

Zhongli lowered his eyes.

The situation is that everyone actually knows the truth, and even knows that Zhongli is Morax.

But none of them would admit the truth.

What Jiang Qing said was just gossip.

The Firefly Warlock insisted that it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
Quite interesting.

"Okay..." Wan Yan had nothing to say.

Although Jiang Qing exposed his purpose at the beginning, everyone explored the ruins together, and the other party was still the party A who paid to host the exploration.

Sooner or later the fools will know.

Even if I was the only one who noticed it in the ruins, and the Fatui, a bunch of idiots, didn't find it.

I will tell it myself after I get out, and then the Fatui will know it.

Since this has come to this, Wan Yan really has no fault to offer to Jiang Qing.

There is an answer on both sides, what else is there to say?
"Don't mind, Ms. Wanyan." The Lightning Warlock explained considerately, "The friendship between Zhidong and Liyue is indestructible. We will not use this information to do anything. It will not benefit Zhidong."

"You can try to find the truth you want, but what we desire is just a little insignificant wealth."

The deal with Jiang Qing was a deal, but it did not mean that this archaeological work was carried out in vain.

She wants it all.

The work must be completed, and she also wants the relics of the Salt God.
