Original God, but the real world

Chapter 84 83-Influence
A person will always make mistakes.

But the reasons for mistakes are mostly due to information asymmetry and cognitive errors.

Just as Xiangzi’s story reveals that poverty has nothing to do with hard work, most people’s mistakes have nothing to do with intelligence or stupidity.

Jiang Qing prepares like this every time he comes into contact with someone.

He was certain that the other party would make a mistake.

Because it is impossible for everyone to have the same source of intelligence as him, and it is impossible for anyone to know the situation of a godless country where human freedom is completely in power as clearly as he does.

Mondstadt is barely ruled by humans, but if you say there is no god... the slogan "May the wind god bless you" that people say on the streets is not empty talk.

He gave up the throne of power, but He still exists.

As long as they exist, with their power, it is impossible for them to have no impact.

If even Mondstadt doesn't count, then Teyvat certainly doesn't count as a godless country - Kanria counts, but they're done with it.

People made choices trapped in the context of the times, which may seem absurd and backward to future generations, but they are not ignorant.

It's not because they are stupid, it's just that they don't have the same opportunities as those who come after them.

If you treat the other person as a fool, you will inevitably make mistakes in the end.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is a famous large chamber of commerce in Liyue. For a businessman to achieve this level is already a display of outstanding ability in this era when transportation conditions are relatively mediocre and wild monsters and treasure-stealing groups are rampant.

Going further up, the foundation of this era does not support it.

The Seven Stars can continue to expand because they have Liyue behind them and hold the scepter at the highest point of Liyue.

Treasure thieves will rob merchants and travelers; after all, that's how they make a living.

But I have never heard of anyone robbing the Seven Stars convoy - robbery is to make a living, robbing this is tantamount to losing one's life.

The treasure-stealing group is not stupid.

Jiang Qing believed in the ability of Xingqiu's father and Ningguang's talent, so he had no intention of deceiving her from the beginning to the end.

When it comes to deceiving people, he is just that skilled. How can he dare to compare himself with a businessman like Ningguang who started from scratch and rose to the seven-star position and maintained a position close to the top chamber of commerce in a country?

But Jiang Qing is good at making big promises.

And because of the intelligence gap, his pie looked sweet and delicious, making investors really believe that there was such a future.

And this future is feasible and can indeed be achieved.

Common beliefs and a bright future are the things that can most move people in human history.

Jiang Qing didn't know why the Seven Stars refused the rule of the immortals in the game's time and space.

But he doesn't think that's the only answer.

So I have the courage to face the future.

"Is this your answer?" Ganyu held her chin with one hand and played with the hair hanging by her ear. "Go on."

Ah, Miss Qilin, who had just been blamed for something, came to visit.

"There is nothing difficult to understand about this matter."

"I think if the Seven Stars resist the Immortals, it's simply because they think the Immortals are incapable of governing Liyue Harbor, or they think the Immortals will interfere with their power."

Jiang Qing looked normal, and didn't show any embarrassment at all for having just fooled others with the immortal in front of him.

"The status of the Seven Stars is such that if they are not worried about their country, they are worried about themselves."

What else could it be?

What else can humans worry about? Either the greater good of the nation or the individual family.

Ganyu nodded slightly.

"If you are worried about the future of Liyue... the teachers really have no experience in governing, and I'm afraid they have no interest in governing."

No matter how Ganyu thought about it, she didn't feel that her teacher seemed like he could sit down and handle government affairs.

He may have rare power, but for some things power alone is not enough.

After all, the power possessed by immortals is still inferior to that of demons.

“You can learn it though.”

Ganyu was a little worried.

"This brings us to the question of personal future," Jiang Qing said. "Since you yourself think that "He" needs some time to adapt, let's assume that "He" can really adapt. But during this period of time, or even after "He" has adapted, there will still be a need for Liyue people to govern the country, right?"

"Since we still need people to do the work... How big of a difference can there be between working for the Emperor and working for an immortal?"

It's nothing more than doubting their abilities.

After working for the immortals for a while, will they soon understand the abilities of the Seven Stars?
"I don't think the immortals would lose face and make things difficult for the Seven Stars. Of course, even if they really did so, each of the Seven Stars is a genius who has risen to the top from the bottom. They will definitely know how to deal with these difficulties."

During the reign of the Emperor, considering that He himself was not interested in the twists and turns of human beings, but He was still very aware of these "bad habits", everyone had to work in the simplest and most efficient way.

For example, everyone has to go through an assessment, and everyone comes up from the bottom. There is no boss who is parachuted in from nowhere.

In addition, there is no question of qualifications. Assessment and promotion only depend on how much work you have handled. Once you have accumulated a certain amount of work, you can be promoted directly.

If it weren't such a simple and efficient situation, Ningguang and Keqing wouldn't be ranked seven stars at this age.

Keqing could be considered to be from an aristocratic family, but even if she was, it was impossible for her to sit on the Seven Stars position at her age.

Ningguang is a seven-star player who rose from a commoner. Under normal circumstances, it would be much more difficult for her to rise to the top than Keqing.

That is to say, during the reign of the Emperor, people would not resort to these tactics and would directly use simple political achievements to solve the problem of promotion, and only then would they have this opportunity.

Ganyu believes in the abilities of Ningguang and Keqing.

If there were no obstruction, and as long as people from Liyue were chosen to take the position, there would be no need to consider whether the two of them could step forward.

They all succeeded without any foundation or fame.

Their abilities are now known to everyone, and their fame is unparalleled. How difficult could it be for them to get to the top again?

"So they are afraid that the immortals will interfere?"

Ganyu pursed her lips.

"Qi Xing must be very confident in his abilities."

Jiang Qing fanned the flames.

This is not the era when power is easily passed down from father to son. Today's Seven Stars are all considered figures of their generation.

Their success may be helped by their family, but their abilities are the key.

“That is to say, even if a new order is established, they believe they have a great chance of returning to power.”

"If it is really for personal consideration, then it can only be that you are worried that the immortals will not give up their power, or even hinder it."

He affirmed Ganyu's words.

Of course Ganyu won't be in any good mood because of this.

"You are really honest."

The blue-haired immortal touched the unicorn horn on his head, looking a little annoyed.

It is not difficult to consider people's logical thoughts, but it is difficult to consider what they are willing to do for their ideas.

It's like, you know a person wants to make money and wants to have power - it's not difficult, anyone can guess it.

But it is difficult for you to know how much they are willing to pay for this goal and what efforts they have made to achieve it.

The latter is something completely unexpected.

But Jiang Qing usually only talks about the above questions with others, so he always looks like he knows everything.

This is actually just the most basic desire.

But Ganyu only needs to know this.

With Ganyu's identity and strength, she doesn't care what Qixing wants to do for her own power. What she cares about is the attitude represented by the fact that Qixing wants to stop the immortal for the sake of power.

If they cling to power and resist the immortals today, will they be unwilling to give up the scepter and change the term of office of the Seven Stars in the future?
Furthermore, would they want to hold the scepter permanently in a family model and not hand it over to others?
"There is usually a purpose for doing something," Jiang Qing said in a relaxed tone, "especially the Seven Stars. I don't think they would do something without a purpose."

"You are very good at pushing things to develop according to your own ideas." Gan Yu was silent for a moment and gave his own evaluation, "Even though I know you are using me, I don't object to this matter itself."

The only thing worth refusing is being used by mortals as an immortal.

But compared to Jiang Qing's value in fighting against the Seven Stars, she can tolerate it.

This person seems to be very clear about the possible future development of Liyue after the death of the Emperor... Speaking of which, he seems to always mention Inazuma. Is the situation in this country so special that it is enough to make a person see such a dangerous future?

I'm a little curious about how Inazuma has developed.

"I can't guarantee it on behalf of the immortals, but I can guarantee it on my own behalf."

She made up her mind, "I will support your action."

"That couldn't be better." Jiang Qing said with a smile, "In fact, I have already won over Tianquan Star and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

"If possible, I hope Miss Ganyu can find Ningguang and chat with her about anything."

"As for Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they may move closer to the Immortal Sect as soon as possible."

“If you have time to receive them once, you don’t have to make any promises, just meet them.”

He paused for a moment and said, "It would be best to do this. First, meet with the Feiyun Guild, and then leave to look for Ningguang after the banquet is set up."

"Don't make any promises, just say something and let them figure it out."

The reason for not making a promise is not because I am afraid that Ganyu will be embarrassed at that time.

Given Ganyu's character, she must fulfill her promises.

But some things are so troublesome that it’s better not to say anything.

But Jiang Qing didn't care about this, after all, Ganyu had nothing to do with him.

He just didn't want these people to skip him and contact Ganyu alone.

If Ganyu said nothing, they would have to talk to Jiang Qing if they wanted a promise. By then, even if he didn't ask for an exorbitant price, he could still drag it out until the matter was over.

But if Ganyu made the promise herself, Jiang Qing would be of no value to them.

This is not surprising.

There is this kind of risk when trying to get a big return with a small investment, because you are trying to take advantage of both sides, but the scale is too small.

If you cannot interrupt the cooperation between the two parties and make yourself the only middleman, then it is not incomprehensible that the other party will contact you directly and skip the "middleman" link.

The value of a middleman lies in providing a channel for two parties who do not know or cannot know each other, but if the two parties can reach a cooperation directly, there is naturally no need to go through this channel.

But it doesn’t matter, after all, most of the plan has been completed.

He has almost gotten the performance points he wanted, and the rest depends on the old man's own ideas.

But this is something that is completely out of control.

Of course, why make things more complicated if you can increase your control over them?
Who doesn’t want things to be under control, and who wants accidents to happen everywhere?

Ganyu understood what Jiang Qing meant.

"That's fine." She thought for a moment, "but you can't use my name to do things that have nothing to do with the real business."

She believed in Jiang Qing's ability. At least in this aspect, he performed very well.

"I just want to make some extra money." Jiang Qing refused to make unreasonable guesses, "Instead of worrying about me, have you really never worried about the Fatui?"

Although I feel that Tartaglia may not have any new plans, since they are Fatui, it doesn't matter if I give them some eye drops.

Rosaline should be in Liyue now, but no one knows where she is hiding.

"The Fatui..." Ganyu actually thought about it for a moment, "Can they cause any trouble?"

She has been busy lately, but she has also been concerned about Liyue's affairs.

It has been a long time since we have heard any news from the Fatui.

The other party is really too obedient. People who are obedient are not like the Fools.

"I don't know why they are so quiet... but if they are the Fatui, there must be some conspiracy."

She easily handed down judgments that were full of personal speculation.

As for the reputation of the Fatui, their silence means they are plotting a conspiracy, and their actions mean they are carrying out a conspiracy... In short, they are definitely on the path of doing bad things.

It's just that preparations are being made or work is in progress.

Being able to get to this point can be considered a different kind of success.

"Even the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce can know the movements of the Seven Stars, I don't think the Fatui can't do it." Jiang Qing's words were a bit bewitching, "When the order changes, it is the best time for these foreign enemies to make changes."

"I believe there must be members of the Fatui among the Seven Stars and Eight Gates. If a new order is established later and a large number of personnel are re-selected, the Fatui may be put in accidentally."

The current candidate was appointed after a very good review. If it was a succession of generations, there would definitely not be any major problems with the review.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that when the immortal comes later, it will have to be rebuilt and space will be left.

If we directly employ existing institutions, what difference will it make whether they come or not?

Ganyu did not continue to speculate based on Jiang Qing's description.

"You made a deal with Ningguang. She supported you and was willing to let you do things under her name... In fact, you promised her something."

Miss Qilin's eyes were bright. "You just said, a new order? Can I understand that you promised her that in the new order established by the immortals, she can still ensure that her power and position will not be damaged... or even be able to move up to a higher level."

"Yes, this is my promise." Jiang Qing readily acknowledged it.

That's exactly what he said.

"Dividing power and arranging the seven stars is the business of the immortals. You can't promise it to others!"

Ganyu said "harsh words".

She wants to regain her face in this place.

Being driven by Jiang Qing, she felt a little unhappy even though they had common interests.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Qing agreed with this statement, "Ningguang won't believe me anyway."

Why would anyone place their hopes of power on a man who is all talk?

Ningguang may have believed Jiang Qing's description and believed that the future might really be like this.

But if she placed her hope of determining whether she would be able to hold power in the future on Jiang Qing...then how did she get to the position of Tianquan Star?

Usually people only put their hopes on others when they are powerless or confused.

Ningguang is definitely not one of these two types of people.

As the Tianquan Star, if she surrendered to the immortal in advance, she could gain a lot of things.

As for the so-called king...it has little to do with how hard she works.

This all depends on the immortal's mind; her unilateral efforts cannot be the dominant factor.

"Then what do you want?"

Ganyu got the answer she wanted.

"In this incident, you don't need Ningguang and the others' favor, and you have no interest in power itself... Then what do you want?"

Being angry is also a test.

Jiang Qing's attitude was too strange.

This guy works hard to stir up trouble here, but in the end it seems like he wants nothing.

Ganyu didn't believe it.

She just felt that Jiang Qing wanted something more precious than power.

"I want Liyue to continue to prosper." Jiang Qing said sincerely, "This is my hometown. I grew up here."

"I have higher expectations for Liyue, so I don't want this country to leave others with opportunities to take advantage of it during its difficult and chaotic inheritance."

Ganyu looked him up and down and didn't think Jiang Qing was that kind of person.

"Just assume that what you said is true."

She couldn't find any other reason.

What ordinary people want is nothing more than the interests of their country and their own future.

Of these two things, Jiang Qing did not strive for the latter. She certainly couldn't believe that Jiang Qing, who was jumping back and forth between Yuheng Star and Tianquan Star, between immortals and seven stars, was the former... But what else had she not thought of?
Ganyu couldn't find any other answer.

So she could only accept this answer for the time being.

······
Enough of the topic.

Once Ganyu has an idea, she will naturally take action.

She is a capable and well-connected person with a lot of ideas and actions that far exceed Jiang Qing's.

The matter concerning the Fatui seemed to Ganyu to be just a minor inconvenience, but Jiang Qing started to think about it.

Northland Bank has almost no presence in the game.

But it is true that Mora’s reign has ended, and the ability of [the rich man] Pantalone is beyond doubt.

Seriously speaking, Jiang Qing felt that this person was simply too awesome.

Liyue has Morax's backing and naturally controls Mora's market, and its establishment and development time is much earlier than that of Zhidong.

As a result, Pantalone, who joined the Fatui halfway, forcibly pulled the Fatui to lift up the [Bank of the North].

Now, there are even signs of counter-pressure.

This is of course also related to the various black technologies of the Fatui.

Liyue's alchemy level is relatively mediocre, and is definitely not as good as that of Zhidong, which has long been in a state of combat readiness.

But to succeed, environmental conditions are certainly important, and Pantalone's ability is also beyond doubt.

The Fatui's course of action must not have been decided recently. As the Fatui's executive officer, he probably knew about the Queen's desire for the Heart of God a long time ago.

That is to say, he already knew that the world would lose Mora.

Such a capable man, and he knew in advance that Mora's rule would end.

How much effort he has made for this, and what plans he has arranged... Jiang Qing thinks it is worth looking forward to.

This is something that will not show up in the game, as no game will replace the trading currency midway.

But it's different now.

The one who has similar ideas to Jiang Qing is...Xiang Ling.

"Hey, the prices of food ingredients have dropped recently. I bought more, but my expenses are the same as usual."

The girl complained casually while holding a spoon in her mouth.

Although she would also discover ingredients on her own, that was only when she was researching dishes.

It's work at Wanmin Hall, so how could I possibly collect every ingredient by myself?

"Once Mora becomes limited, it will be more valuable." Jiang Qing answered casually.

Although not everyone knows it, Mora is the currency minted by the Emperor himself.

As a currency with mystical value, Mora's main value in the past was in transactions, but now its value lies in its application in mysticism.

Anyone can see that this is definitely not easy to manufacture.

With the name of Mora, some people have begun to feel uneasy after Morax went on a long journey.

Qixing is now using the Golden House's storage to forcibly support the market, but this support cannot be sustained.

The total amount has been determined, and these currencies will be spent sooner or later.

After the end of the Mora system, their value as mystical materials will actually increase.

"In the past, Mora's main function was to provide trading, but now... everyone is very smart."

Xiangling doesn't care about this kind of thing, so she doesn't know yet.

The prices at Wanmin Tang have always been very affordable, and coupled with Xiangling’s cooking skills, diners would still accept Wanmin Tang’s prices even if the prices had not been reduced.

The rarer the Mora, the more valuable it is in mysticism.

If you just use it as a trading currency, it is actually a bit of a loss.

But Mora cannot be without it.

After all, everyone only recognizes this kind of thing.

Jiang Qing shook his head.

"This kind of thing needs to be resolved as soon as possible." He did not continue to think, "Except for Qixing, other people's concerns are of no value."

Creating a new currency is certainly not an easy task.

But it’s not impossible.

"Anyway, the immortal will soon descend upon Liyue Harbor."

That True Lord Liuyun is also a homely girl who has mastered the black technology.

With the ability of this chatty fungus, it should not be a problem to create a currency that can be circulated.

Of course, it's impossible to be like Mora.

Next, I am afraid that the seven countries will consider coming up with their own national monetary systems.
