Original God, but the real world

Chapter 75 74-Hope
This seems like an opportunity to show off...but how should I show off? That's a big problem.

Jiang Qing had a gentle smile on his face.

Xingqiu would not ask any particularly difficult questions, not only because of his character, but also because of his identity.

His identity test is the most appropriate, which can not only preserve everyone's relationship, but also prepare for those who really need to appear.

If there is anything tough to say, it should naturally be left to his brother.

The eldest young master is the one who takes over the Chamber of Commerce. No matter what is said on the surface, he must be the one to make the final decision.

Xingqiu didn't care about the business of the Chamber of Commerce, but he was the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce after all, and he couldn't just sit back and watch his family's business be affected.

It's like he helped Ying fight against the Fatui, but didn't let his own business be affected.

Hu Tao said that he could be more direct, but Xingqiu would not really tell him everything directly.

"Although this is our first meeting, I still have a request to make." Jiang Qing's face was full of apology. "Master Xingqiu also knows that business is not going well these days."

"A friend of mine has just joined Liyue and hopes to find a place to stay here to gain a foothold."

"She has some secret medicines, wine recipes, or alchemy blueprints from the old Mondstadt thousands of years ago. But if she wants to convert these things into profits, she needs a reliable partner."

He spoke frankly, "I wonder if Feiyun Chamber of Commerce would be willing to give me, your friend, a chance?"

"Family heirlooms of great nobles during the old Mondstadt period?" Xingqiu was of course very interested. "No problem. If these things are truly suitable for promotion in this era, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will naturally not refuse this deal."

There isn't much that Eula can take away, but in many cases, knowledge is valuable enough.

Just like Dolly, she was able to become a great merchant in Xumi. Her own abilities are self-evident, but the alchemy of Ms. Alice was also the key.

She always provides Dolly with the best products.

Xingqiu's expression flickered.

He doesn't like doing business, but after all, he has been exposed to it for many years and has the necessary sensitivity.

Jiang Qing's business partner is called Eula Lawrence, a noble family with a two thousand year heritage. Not long ago, she and some people who inherited the Lawrence surname fled to Liyue.

Of course, Eula was able to come up with these things.

In theory, these things are old knowledge that can be eliminated as the times progress - but this world does not follow such logic. It follows the principle that limited antiquity means power.

Eula wants to sell wine.

The Mond people certainly have a keen eye for the wine industry.

In Liyue alone, it would be nonsense to say that they can sweep the entire place, but it is not a problem to pose a competition.

This business actually doesn't require much help from others. The most important thing is the wine recipe, and the promotion can be directly promoted under the banner of "Lawrence, the Declined Mondstadt Noble".

There will definitely be a lot of people watching the fun.

However, no matter how Jiang Qing thought about it, Eula would never accept this kind of publicity, even if it could directly attract enough attention to its own products.

So let’s ask someone else for help.

That’s how communication works, starting with helping each other.

Since Jiang Qing chose to ask for help proactively, Xingqiu could naturally make his own requests.

He was the first to ask for something, and then the overall atmosphere became much better.

Chongyun touched his head, feeling somewhat confused.

This young master, who comes from a family of exorcists and alchemists, was born with a pure yang body and has an inexplicable love for exorcism.

He was not very sensitive to these things and was the one who welcomed Jiang Qing the most.

Yun Jin sat in a very elegant posture.

She was not clear about the twists and turns behind the scene, but she understood the two real owners of this meeting.

In fact, she came to avoid impossible friction and conflict.

Hu Tao holds his chin with both hands, and his sitting posture is a bit abstract.

"You," Yun Jin glanced at her and said softly, "You don't even look like a sitting posture at all."

Hu Tao moved the chair over with a smile and lingered around Yun Jin.

The two people's quarreling did not affect the conversation between Jiang Qing and Xingqiu.

"The Emperor's long journey is an unbearable disaster for Liyue Harbor." Jiang Qing's face showed some sadness.

It’s not that I’m really sad - Morax retired himself, so there’s nothing to be sad about.

He and Xingqiu had just met, so the conversation could only start with slightly peripheral topics.

“Yes,” Xingqiu agreed, “Emperor Yanwang has ruled this country for too long. We have all become accustomed to his rule.”

"But now that the Emperor has suddenly passed away, many things have lost his decision, and it is difficult for us to deal with them."

Jiang Qing hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "In fact, I am worried that something worse will happen."

He scratched his hair, as if thinking about whether to say something.

Finally, Jiang Qing let out a long sigh, looking relieved: "For a while, I did business in Inazuma, but then Inazuma issued a national isolation order and an eye hunting order, which made it very difficult for outsiders to do business."

"Because we can't interfere with Inazuma anymore."

Business cannot exist without “background”. The more complex and valuable the business is, the stronger the background must be.

The background of Jiang Qing and even most Liyue merchants is naturally the country of Liyue.

"Liyue is more powerful than Inazuma, so the people of Inazuma must respect the people of Liyue."

"And the lockdown order solved this kind of interference." Jiang Qing sighed.

Absolutely amazing.

Closing a country means closing itself off from external communication and not exchanging technology or materials with the outside world. The price of not being influenced by the outside world is that it has to survive alone, and decline is almost a visible future.

Unfortunately, there is no way for this world to replicate the Black Ship incident.

Even if Inazuma is behind, she can crush all the disobedience with just one Thunder General.

Kujo Takayuki's idea is correct.

No matter what kind of trouble he causes or how he betrays Inazuma's interests, as long as the general is not affected, Inazuma's structure will always be stable.

It was not the swords of the shogunate warriors but the high-ranking Raiden Shogun who maintained Inazuma's rule and order.

"And now, I'm worried that after Lord Yan goes on a long journey, we may also face this situation."

Jiang Qing spoke with certainty, as if this incident was about to happen right before his eyes.

"In Inazuma, after they closed their country, they no longer had to worry about the thoughts of other countries and could exploit all foreigners without restraint."

"And now, we will also lose the Emperor."

Putting aside the emotional point of view, it is also the loss of a weapon that can deter everything.

Xingqiu remained silent.

During this period, many people were able to see the difficulties both inside and outside of Liyue, but they usually only focused on the inside of Liyue.

The long-term vision depends on the time. If Liyue is in turmoil in the future, some people may leave forever.

During this period, there was no need for them to look anywhere outside of Liyue.

But this does not mean that the impact does not exist.

"Although there is no precedent of the seven nations going to war, five hundred years ago, the seven gods destroyed a country." Jiang Qing said seriously, "I don't know any story behind a war to destroy a country, such as right or wrong, or the reason... But I know that they lost because of their weak strength."

“And the cost of failure is too high.”

On a national scale, right, wrong and reason are things that can be negotiated and transformed.

The key is strength.

But now Liyue has lost its most core strength.

Xingqiu was not panicked, but Chongyun was a little surprised.

This special talent was initially targeted by Jiang Qing, but was later abandoned because of Hu Tao.

But now, he got the chance to get to know each other again because of Walnut.

“So, the situation in Liyue is actually very dangerous?” Chongyun was a little nervous. “Ah, I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation…”

"It's okay, it's just a small talk." Jiang Qing didn't mind. "This is just a possibility for future development. Maybe Liyue can still maintain normal trade with other countries?"

"After all, we still have the Immortals and the Thousand Rocks Army. As long as the other party's gods don't intervene, we don't have to worry."

Just listen to half of what is said.

Xingqiu rubbed his brows, "That is, we can only hope that the other party will not think that I have God and you don't have God."

If Jiang Qing hadn't mentioned the matter of Kanriya, Xingqiu wouldn't have been worried.

There has been no war in Teyvat for many years, and it is a fact that the seven rulers have never attacked each other.

But once he said it, things changed.

In the final analysis, the Seven Gods' destruction of Kanreya has no value other than to show off their military power.

Kanreya might have been ambitious back then, but they did nothing after all.

The main body that constitutes this country is a group of human beings.

They had no faith in gods, but that was obviously not the reason for their demise.

But in the end, Kanreya was destroyed and almost all the people of this country died.

Why would the gods intervene in such a country?
The Seven Gods obviously don't need to give any explanation.

So if they could destroy a country without any reason back then, why can't they do the same again?

There are many things that you don't really need to do. The best state is to let people know that you can do it but don't do it.

Would the Ice Queen do such a thing?
of course not.

Can He eat Liyue without Morax?
of course can.

That constitutes a threat.

Jiang Qing folded his hands, looking calm.

The biggest problem with the old man is that he didn't take his own death into account at all.

In fact, He had already planned His own death and resurrection.

When the situation is dangerous, He is always ready to step up and take control of Liyue again.

It is impossible for a god who always has this kind of thought in mind to plan his own death very carefully.

It’s not that He doesn’t have the ability, but that He doesn’t have the idea at all.

It’s like He spends money freely but He himself has no money. He never considers that there will be times when He will be short of money.

This has nothing to do with ability, it's a problem of cognition.

But He himself thinks it is normal, what do others think?
There is an evaluation of Paimeng: a social loser.

This was not a biased idea, any more than she would have called Barbatos a street singer.

She and Ying personally experienced what these gods did. Throughout the entire incident, they witnessed and experienced it with their own eyes, and finally gave the most appropriate evaluation of their performance.

A street singer and a social outcast.

There is some casualness among friends. After all, at the beginning, Paimon was called the Wind God Rock King, and later it became this name.

But if it weren't for the performance of Venti and Zhongli, Paimon would not have made such an evaluation.

People stand on different standpoints. Morax has too much confidence. After all, he is a god, and one of the most powerful demons in the world.

In a war between demons and gods, how many demons had to be crushed before one could obtain the honor of being named the God of War?

His pride and arrogance are natural.

But Xingqiu and Chongyun do not have such arrogance.

Jiang Qing said it, and they listened seriously.

If the Seven Gods really joined forces to divide Liyue - this sounds absurd, but they also joined forces to destroy Kanria, right? This also happened without any signs or reasons.

So, how do they deal with this disaster?
Get down on your knees and pray they don't?

Xingqiu frowned slightly.

He could only sigh, "Mr. Jiang Qing, you are thinking too far ahead."

"If one of the Seven Gods really has an idea, then the other gods will definitely not sit idly by."

“Unless all six gods are really determined, Liyue doesn’t need to worry about this before they have discussed it.”

Jiang Qing readily agreed, "That makes sense."

"Gods are gods after all. They have their own rules and principles. I don't think they will easily consider invading."

He let out a long sigh, looking relaxed, "Probably like what happened in Kanreya, it was just an accident after all."

"How come Liyue just happens to be the next accident?"

If you can't speak, just don't speak, okay?!

Walnut pursed her lips and blinked her plum blossom eyes slightly.

She could tell that Jiang Qing was deliberately threatening Xingqiu and wanted to use the people behind Xingqiu to do something.

During this period, she discussed some things with Jiang Qing, and Hu Tao felt that Jiang Qing was not a bad person.

So even though she heard it, she had no intention of waking Xingqiu up.

Everyone has his or her own purpose in doing things. Jiang Qing has been laying the groundwork for so long, and it is inevitable that it is a bit disgusting for me to interrupt him like this.

Xingqiu had similar thoughts.

If you can't speak, just say less, my friend.

Xingqiu couldn't help but think about it.

He is a stakeholder and a smart man.

So even though he knew that what Jiang Qing said was just a possibility, and even less likely, he couldn't help but think in this direction.

This is the problem that all Liyue people have to face after Morax's death.

Their security has been shaken.

Regardless of whether Xingqiu was willing to put this matter on the list of things to consider, what had happened was laid out so simply and clearly in front of everyone.

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes and smiled a little subtlely.

Objectively speaking, gods have their own justifiable arrogance.

He couldn't easily win the approval of the gods, this was Ying's privilege.

But Jiang Qing knew what the gods wanted to do.

This inherent arrogance always leaves cracks in their plans whenever they want to do something.

And that's where hope shines in.
