Original God, but the real world

Chapter 2-02-Hand Cards
"Oh, sorry, sorry!" Xiao Gong clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.

The girl stuck out her tongue slightly and turned her face slightly: "But I've never seen you take it to heart."

"What else?" Jiang Qing rolled his eyes. "How about I hug your thighs and cry bitterly, and then you can be kind enough to pay off my debt for me?"

“Hehe…” Xiao Gong scratched his head.

The story of the Jiang family's bankruptcy is simple.

There was an accident during the voyage.

Ocean voyages have always had this problem. Even if the route is fine, natural disasters and man-made disasters still need to be considered.

And in this world, there is also the issue of sea monsters to consider.

Jiang Qing's parents lost contact during a long voyage... This is a nice way of saying it.

If you lose the message during an ocean voyage, the outcome is actually certain.

We can't expect everyone to be like Robinson Crusoe, who survived by chance and then got the chance to return to the human kingdom.

The sea of ​​Teyvat is much more dangerous than Jiang Qing knew.

As a time traveler who graduated from Diannang, Jiang Qing couldn't say anything about this background, he could only say that it was reasonable.

For the original owner, the Jiang family’s defeat this time meant that the original cooperation was over.

The common problem of highly profitable industries is that you may be able to gain wealth from them that ordinary people will never get in their lifetime, but once something goes wrong, all the profits you have made before are often not enough to be compensated again.

Make a lot of money.

The losses come quickly.

Of course Jiang Qing was unwilling to accept this fact.

At this time, his only option was to embark on the sailing journey again and repay his debts.

He had no way of preserving the Jiang family's assets through normal means.

As a relatively successful businessman, he convinced his creditors and made his way to Inazuma.

This was supposed to be a drama of enduring hardships and reviving the family.

Then Inazuma closed the country.

General Raiden's thunder blocked the outer sea, and what followed was the exploitation of foreign merchants by Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo under the isolation order.

Jiang Qing was not surprised by this result.

In the later plot, the Kanjo Bugyo, who was in charge of collecting taxes, changed the tax law for foreign merchants, changing the merchants' taxes from Mora to Inazuma's specialty, [Crystallized Bone Marrow].

The Mora that should have been handed over was exchanged for [Crystallized Bone Marrow]. Although there was an extra procedure at this time, there was no additional growth.

However, [Crystallized Bone Marrow] is a local specialty of Inazuma, and the price of the goods will change with changes in the environment.

With merchants purchasing in large quantities, the actual price of [Crystallized Bone Marrow] has exceeded the marked price, but the Kanding Bugyo still charges according to the past marked price.

This is equivalent to spending several times more Mora to exchange for [Crystallized Bone Marrow] and then paying taxes.

I can't say it's a waste of time, I can only say it's fucking stupid!
The Kanjo Bugyo did not fail to take this into consideration; it was precisely because they did so that they pushed for changes to the tax law.

They want to make money.

It's normal to want to make money, everyone wants to make money.

But in order to make money, the tax laws were modified specifically to target foreign businessmen, and the Kande Bugyo did a really brilliant job.

Moreover, the taxes collected by the Kanjo Bugyo were finally handed over to the shogunate, but what was handed over was only the original tax.

Instead of taking a portion of it, they simply ate it all.

After eating and drinking, the rest was handed over to the shogunate.

Jiang Qing has seen many people who are greedy for money, and it is also not uncommon for people in power to be greedy for money.

But it was really eye-opening for Kanjo Bugyo to see someone so powerful yet still personally exploiting others without even using a white glove.

You can at least support an agent and get a white glove and a black glove to take turns, right?

What does it mean to do it yourself?
This is certainly not to say that their actions are stupid, it can only be said that they are unscrupulous.

The original owner came with the expectation of turning the situation around, but ended up encountering such a group of bandits and all his hopes were gone.

Of course the Jiang family has friends here, but not to mention that they are forgotten after they leave, how can those friends compare with Kandei Bugyo who treats foreign businessmen like leeks?

He resisted the taxation imposed by the Kanto-bushi, and was, as expected, beaten up.

Under the premise of the isolation order, other countries' interference in Inazuma was almost zero.

And the internal pressure...the Kanjo Bugyo is the highest level within Inazuma.

General Raiden sits high up in the castle tower, standing on the throne overlooking the world.

He takes little direct part in the administration and pays no attention to these matters.

As the Shabugyo declined, the Tenryobugyo and the Kanjobugyo cooperated, and the Shabugyo naturally had no confidence to refuse.

With the three magistrates in cahoots with each other, there is no pressure at all within Inazuma.

That's why Jiang Qing felt that the original owner really came to the wrong place.

Ocean trade does indeed bring huge profits, but he met Inazuma, and that was Inazuma who was in a closed country.

Then you can only be manipulated by others.

Jiang Qing died in prison in despair, and then he arrived.

"I can't afford to pay for it." Xiao Gong waved his hands repeatedly.

She still admires Jiang Qing very much.

If a person encounters major changes one after another and can still make fun of himself in the end, this mentality cannot be said to be bad, it is simply ridiculously good.

"Haha." Jiang Qing had no expression on his face. "What bad news again?"

After he was released from the prison of the Kanjo Bugyo, he left the island while the supervision was not yet strict enough.

This is just the beginning, merchants can still leave the island.

Later, with the implementation of the isolation order, all foreign merchants were trapped on outlying islands.

Jiang Qing needs to find a way to escape. Staying on the island has absolutely no value except being exploited.

It was also at this time that Jiang Qing met Xiao Gong who was experimenting with improved fireworks in the wild.

Xiaogong has a friendship with Beidou of the Southern Cross Fleet, and Beidou's fleet is one of the few fleets that can travel through thunderstorms.

Jiang Qing wanted to make a deal, but he really had nothing to trade with Xiao Palace.

Fortunately, Xiaogong is really kind.

After listening to Jiang Qing's description, she agreed to send him to Beidou's fleet when the next fleet arrived.

She even planned to pay for her escape ticket herself.

It's not easy for a person to be so kind, especially someone like Inazuma.

Jiang Qing didn't dare to express too much gratitude.

He could only take note of it, but when it came to whether he could really repay it... Jiang Qing didn't have the confidence.

Even if he left Inazuma, he would still be heavily in debt.

In this situation, it is hard to say whether he can survive, and he really dare not make any guarantees.

When he first arrived, he was full of confidence, but then he was hit hard by reality and realized the status of ordinary people in this world.

Jiang Qing no longer had the confidence to make a guarantee.

In this way, Jiang Qing got a relatively simple job, working in the Naganohara fireworks shop.

The girl scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's good news." Xiao Gong held her chin with both hands, "Sister Beidou is coming."

Jiang Qing sighed: "Don't I know you? If it was good news, you would have said it long ago. Why would you beat around the bush?"

"Hmm? Really?" Xiao Gong was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, "It's not important!"

"There is indeed some bad news, but it won't affect you." She lowered her voice.

Jiang Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Is San Fengxing making a fool of himself again?"

People like Xiao Gong who are not used to talking about their troubles with friends would find it difficult, which shows that it is indeed a problem.

In Inazuma's native land, the ones who would cause such trouble would of course be the Three Bugyo.

Jiang Qing doesn't look at people through tinted glasses...well, he is just a disgusting person.

"A rebellion war has broken out on Kaiji Island." Xiao Gong looked a little depressed. "The general recently issued the Eye Hunting Order. On the basis of the isolation order, he required that those with the Eye of God in Inazuma be confiscated and our Eye of God be taken away."

"The Kaiji Island refused to accept the Eye Hunting Order, so they wanted to start a resistance war."

She also had concerns about the Eye Hunting Order.

After all, Xiao Palace also has the Eye of God.

But more concerns are about this war being launched rashly.

Inazuma's native land is actually quite peaceful. I don't know why it suddenly became like this.

War... a lot of people will definitely die, right?
Things would be much simpler if she could face her own powerlessness calmly.

Unfortunately, she was powerless, but she wanted to do something.

But this is not a game after all.

In the game, she is a five-star fire C, and in reality, she is Inazuma's fireworks girl.

She was of no importance to this war.

Jiang Qing pursed her lips.

"Was it the Eye Hunting Order issued by the shogunate, or was it issued by General Raiden himself?"

Jiang Qing knew the answer.

"Is there any difference?" Xiao Gong held his chin and looked at Jiang Qing.

"The rebels only dare to resist the Eye Hunting Order issued by the shogunate. They will resist on the grounds that the general was deceived by the three magistrates." Jiang Qing hesitated for a moment, "If you want to end this war, you can actually ask someone who is qualified to speak in the shogunate to ask Lord Narukami to personally issue the decree."

This is the early days of the resistance.

Their war with the shogunate army had just begun, which meant that many of them still had a chance to turn back.

"Humans cannot rebel against gods." After saying this, Jiang Qing felt much more relaxed. "I don't know why the people of Kaiji Island dare to resist the Eye Hunting Order, but the leader of the resistance army will definitely insist that this is not the general's order, but the shogunate's method."

Only in this way did the early rebels dare to disobey the Eye Hunting Order.

After thousands of years of singing, the people here should have had enough respect for the power of the gods.

They are not lunatics like the Fatui, so why do they dare to confront Ming Shen?

This is not a battle of hope where there is a chance of winning.

History has proven countless times that humans are unable to defeat the devil.

The only one they had to fight against was the shogunate.

Of course, Narukami can represent the shogunate, but the shogunate cannot represent Narukami's attitude.

As long as Ming Shen himself declares that the [Eye Hunting Order] is completely from his will, half of the initial resistance forces will probably collapse.

As the enemy's strength weakens, the intensity of the war will naturally decrease.

The reason why Jiang Qing hesitated at the beginning was, of course, because he was actually looking forward to a fierce fight between the shogunate and the rebels.

Besides, he didn't want to change the plot.

Although he didn't know what use the plot would be to an ordinary person, this was the card he had in his hand, and he couldn't just throw it away, right?
