Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Then, Lord Yamagami, what if the other party changes their mind?"

Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, a different voice emerged.

Hideo Yamagami looked at the other person, who was an unassuming young man in the group.

"What's your name?"

He thought the young man was quite good.

It's very much like me; I have a strong sense of crisis.

"Reporting to you, my name is Beihai Chuan Shang."

"You are very good."

Hideo Yamagami praised him.

He had asked Lord Jiang Ming this question before boarding the ship.

Not a single word was different, even the tone was exactly the same.

"Don't worry about them going back on their word. You went there with your own credentials, even if there's no official recognition yet. It's your mark. As leaders of a country that values ​​contracts, they have to save face for you."

Moreover, these things are basically just a few pieces of paper. If they can be given to Ningguang, they can also be given to the Northern Bank. These things are a lifeline for her, but for the Northern Bank, they would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Even if she were to turn against you at the worst, we can still deliver these items to the Fatui through other channels. Liyue isn't some kind of monopoly. Ningguang, already quite overwhelmed, surely understands this.

From a practical standpoint, the best option to maximize benefits is to bring us all on board, and then discuss the details internally, rather than resorting to underhanded tactics.

Hideo Yamagami recalled what Jiang Ming had explained to him at the time.

Then, changing the subject, he repeated it to his subordinates.

"So that's how it was solved..."

The subordinates were greatly shocked.

"There's a saying in Liyue that goes, 'There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.' Interests are always the best way to win over others and achieve your own goals, understand?"

"understand."

I don't think you understand at all.

Hideo Yamagami silently complained to himself.

Apart from the young man who had just started thinking, everyone else had a blank, seemingly confused expression.

“You all need to learn from this. There will be a lot of work to do when we go to other places. If you guys work yourselves to death, you still won’t be able to complete the mission.”

Then he glanced at Hokukawa, who had snapped out of his reverie.

This is the one he has the highest hopes for in the team.

"Beihai, you need to think more about this."

Chapter 39 Far ahead

Ningguang came to meet him without making any attempt to conceal her whereabouts.

The news has already spread throughout Liyue Harbor.

For ordinary people and small merchants in Liyue Harbor, this might be a mystery, but for those who are well-informed, it's no secret who lives in this inn.

They had been wondering how Ningguang would handle it.

Compared to the Seven Stars, they valued Ningguang's choice more.

Judging from Ningguang's initiative to visit, it might be some kind of opportunity.

While the bigwigs were still observing Ningguang's actions, some smaller chambers of commerce and businessmen were already eagerly making visits.

Although we don't know what collaborations are possible yet, it's always good to get acquainted with each other first.

However, Hideo Yamagami made up an excuse to refuse them one by one.

They are waiting for news from Ningguang.

That afternoon, the General Affairs Department sent someone to deliver their activity credentials.

The identity document issued by the Liyue Harbor General Affairs Office comes with a full range of permits, including permission to go to sea and leave the country.

However, Hideo Yamagami did not allow them to leave immediately, but instead sent them to several other countries.

Only he knew in the team that his specific plan was to establish a stable base in Liyue before carrying out the next step of the work with Liyue as the center.

Moreover, the Coral Palace is severely understaffed. Those experienced and skilled people all have other jobs to do, and the team is full of young people.

He planned to let them study in Liyue for a while longer before making any further decisions.

Liyue is closest to Inazuma, with well-developed waterways that connect directly to Inazuma. The Southern Cross fleet is the only licensed large fleet there. Liyue itself is a commercial capital with extensive trade routes and convenient transportation, and the situation is relatively stable.

It is indeed the best choice as the headquarters for Inazuma's external activities.

In addition to delivering their activity credentials, the General Affairs Department also conveyed a message to them:

Ningguang invited him to meet at Qunyu Pavilion in three days to discuss cooperation matters.

As for why it's three days?

Because at that moment, Ningguang was completely engrossed in reading the white, nameless book she had retrieved.

In Ningguang's plan, the book wasn't thick, and three days would be enough for her to finish reading it.

It was only when I actually opened it that I realized something was slightly off.

White cover, nameless, just the outermost layer of the book cover.

Upon opening this blank page, the title of the book comes into view: "The Essence and Laws of Capitalism".

Open the table of contents, Chapter 1: Commodity Economy and the Law of Value.

To be honest, she recognizes each word individually, but when they're put together, she can't understand what they mean.

As she continued flipping through the pages, she discovered that the content seemed to be in a compressed state.

It involves mentioning a term, explaining it, presenting a viewpoint, and then briefly elaborating on that viewpoint, without providing excessive examples or other details.

The book presents knowledge in the most concise and intuitive way, without any other details.

How to learn and understand is up to her alone.

However, this content is extracted from countless social phenomena, and is highly abstract, not intuitive, and difficult to connect directly with reality.

Even with Ningguang's years of experience navigating the ups and downs of the business world, it often takes repeated reflection to truly understand a point and connect it with certain phenomena in reality.

That's when you truly absorb it and make it your own.

Moreover, some terms she had never heard of were not explained at all; they were simply placed there, and she could only try to understand them based on the context and the literal meaning of the words.

This caused her even greater difficulty in learning the knowledge above.

Three days is simply not enough.

If you're just reading it once, that's enough.

This thin little book is enough for a three-hour walk.

However, it is very difficult to learn and absorb the knowledge inside and make it one's own.

Because this small portion alone encompasses the entire history of humankind's development from ancient times to the present.

However, many of these points lack corresponding explanations and sources.

Therefore, Ningguang speculates that this might be another incomplete piece.

It is part of a vast knowledge system.

Although there is a lack of corresponding explanations and sources, at least based on Ningguang's understanding, these are not wrong.

On the contrary, it confirmed some of her past experiences and explained some of the questions that had puzzled her for a long time.

The content here is actually a part of a classic textbook that Jiang Ming himself recounted.

Having been exposed to it for so many years, he already knows it by heart.

However, due to his limited skill level and the lack of a team to assist him, his retelling was not as good as the original.

Furthermore, the version for the Teyvat continent must also take into account the element of "gods".

The history of Teyvat is different from that of Earth; correspondingly, some historical milestones need to be changed.

For example, in Teyvat, there is no concept of colonial plunder.

During the war between demons and gods, humans fought mainly because of the gods.

During that period, all humankind still relied on land as an important means of production.

Human-led wars are nothing more than wars fought for land and resources.

After the establishment of the Seven Gods system, the will of the gods influenced people's activities.

There are no more wars between countries.

As for activities such as seizing farmers' land through violent means.

Aside from the case of Liyue, where a war between demons and gods destroyed all usable arable land, no nation with a god still active has ever done such a thing.

People are doing things, and naive people are watching.

If things go too far, the gods will intervene, even in Mondstadt, a realm where the gods sometimes go AFK.

—Except for Inazuma.

Therefore, the initial accumulation of capitalism in some countries after the establishment of the Seven Gods system was purely achieved by gradually building up capital over time.

Liyue was forced to shift to commerce because all its usable arable land was destroyed, which is why it has taken the lead.
