coming!

Yamagami Hideo was shocked.

He said that the extra seats here were not left for air.

For such a big matter, it would be more reliable if Qixing stepped forward.

"Of course, if you are interested, please take a seat!"

Ningguang nodded, called Baiwen over, and gave him a few simple instructions.

Baiwen turned and left.

During the waiting time, Ningguang began to negotiate with Yamagami Hideo on some details, and also began to discuss some changes in the situation of Inazuma.

As they chatted, Ningguang became very curious about this person named Jiang Ming.

From the description of Beidou and Yamagami Hideo, the other party was a Liyue merchant who was stranded in Inazuma and later went to Kaigi Island and gained the trust of Coral Palace Xinhai, a high-ranking official of Kaigi Island at that time.

From what she had learned in the past few days, the other party was indeed an outstanding talent.

Especially the other party's works.

Although Jiang Ming was only a translator, it was amazing that he could translate such excellent knowledge accurately.

Enough to benefit you for a lifetime.

And he is also a businessman in Liyue.

But this is a weird place.

It shouldn’t be!

She is in Liyue, how come she has never heard of this person?

How could such an outstanding person remain unknown in Liyue?

When Beidou just came back, she asked Ye Lan to investigate, but given Ye Lan's ability to take action, no news has been sent back until now.

Weird.

Chapter 45: In the face of sufficient interests, we have the ability to operate flexibly

During the conversation, Bai Wen came to report that the other seven stars of Liyue were about to arrive at the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Mr. Yamagami, please come with us."

Ningguang invites Yamagami Hideo.

Yamagami Hideo readily agreed.

The two of them, along with Bai Wen, came to the open space in front of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Not long after, the other seven stars of Liyue ascended to the Jade Pavilion with Ganyu.

"Mr. Yamagami, I've heard a lot about you!"

The first person to come up was Tianshuxing, an old man with gray hair.

He was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to shake hands with Shan Shang as soon as he came up.

"I am Tianshu, one of the seven stars of Liyue. You can just call me Uncle Tian. Unfortunately, the situation is a bit special right now. Otherwise, I think we could have a good chat with Mr. Shan Shang at Yujing Terrace."

The people nearby nodded.

"You're too kind. There's an old saying in Liyue that goes, 'A mountain is not high, but it's magical if there are immortals.' I think that where you are, it's the same everywhere."

These words were very useful to the Seven Stars.

No matter what position you are in, who doesn’t like to hear good words?

Tianshuxing explained to Yamagami Hideo in one sentence why they went to Qun Yu Pavilion to talk with him instead of at Yujing Terrace.

Although Yamagami Hideo knew the reason early on and didn't care about it, Nanahoshi's explanation also showed that Nanahoshi valued them to a certain extent.

If you are not taken seriously, Qixing will not bother to pay attention to you, let alone go to the Qun Yu Pavilion in person.

Although most of this attention currently comes from Ningguang, there is no doubt that this will make their subsequent activities smoother.

Strictly speaking, they are not official staff of Inazuma.

He might even be a wanted person by Inazuma officials.

Although Inazuma began to close the country to the outside world, the two sides did not directly announce the severance of diplomatic relations.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Inazuma Embassy had been withdrawn long ago, in theory, diplomatic relations between the two sides still exist.

It is extremely appropriate to describe it as "in name only".

It was no longer in accordance with procedure for Yamagami Hideo and his group to come to Liyue.

They were able to obtain the relevant certificates thanks to Ningguang's help in making a call and having special matters handled specially.

Yujingtai is the office of the Seven Stars, the political center of Liyue, and the place where Liyue meets foreign envoys. Their open appearance is undoubtedly inappropriate.

This is even more against procedure.

Of course, there is a saying that goes, rules are dead, people are alive.

Compared with Yamagami Hideo and his team who can bring many tangible benefits, the diplomatic relations with Inazuma, which are already in name only, and the Inazuma Embassy, ​​which has flown to an unknown place, can undoubtedly be put aside for the time being.

In the face of sufficient benefits, they can flexibly operate dead programs.

For example, now, although it is not convenient for Yamagami Hideo and his party to go to Yujingtai, Qixing can come to Qun Yu Pavilion to meet and discuss relevant matters.

Although I cannot go through the diplomatic procedures, I can bypass them.

This made Yamagami Hideo full of confidence in the next action.

"Everyone, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."

Ningguang came out and began to lead the people outside into the reception room.

After taking their seats, the meeting began to get down to business.

Ningguang explained to the other seven stars what she had thought about and what she had discussed with Yamagami Hideo.

After Ningguang finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.

The seven stars were shocked by this plan.

Secretary Gan Yu, who was taking notes nearby, also opened her mouth slightly.

The circulation of the moula as currency has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

In the early days, the humans of Teyvat did not have a clear, unified currency.

Use shells, bone fragments, and all kinds of things.

The trade between countries, or between tribes at that time, was barter.

Later, after the Demon-God War, the Rock Emperor, Rock God Morax, led the ancestors of Liyue to Liyue Harbor to engage in business.

In order to facilitate trade, Mora was born.

At first, it was only used in Liyue, but later, with the establishment of Liyue as a trade center, it circulated throughout Teyvat.

Eventually, a consensus gradually formed, and Mora was accepted by all humans in Teyvat. It became a precious metal that everyone in Teyvat could understand, and thus formed the common currency of the continent of Teyvat.

This was the currency set by the Rock King Emperor back then.

【All the silver and money circulating in the mainland are my flesh and blood. 】

[In this way, I guarantee all the taxes, wisdom and future of mankind. ]

[This is my trust in all living beings. To betray it is to defile my blood.]

And now, in order to compete with Northland Bank, they want to replace Mora.

Exchange for so-called paper money.

This is a big step.

Back then, Mora became the currency circulating in Teyvat only with the guarantee of the Emperor, and then it was recognized by people. What about the paper money today?

"Of course Mora is the guarantor."

Ningguang explained.

"Moreover, competing with Northland Bank is only the first step. What is more important is to regain our dominance."

Everyone knows what Ningguang means by dominance.

In previous explanations, Ningguang has already talked about the importance of financial capital.

but……

"I think it's better to take a long-term view on this matter. Why not ask the Emperor for his opinion at this year's Invitation to the Immortal Ceremony?"

Some people think that it is possible to do it, but for such a big move, the emperor should be consulted first.

"The Emperor once said that if you defile it, you defile my blood. Now we want to replace Mora. Is this also a defilement? Emperor, do you agree?"

"I am in favor of paper money."

Keqing, the newly appointed Yuheng Star, spoke out in support of Ningguang.

No one was surprised at Keqing's remarks.

Anyway, the other party has long advocated human rule in Liyue and has always been opposed to asking the emperor for instructions on everything. He has made various "disrespectful" remarks more than once or twice.

"Whether it's Mora or paper money, they're all for circulation and to promote Liyue's prosperity, so what's wrong with that?

Moreover, we are going to change to paper currency to replace the inconvenient Mora circulation. This is a good thing that will benefit the development of Liyue. I think it is also what the Emperor wants to see. How can it be said to be a defilement?

Also, isn't our primary goal to strike at the North Country Bank? We need to catch them by surprise to achieve the best results. How can we put it in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony and let everyone know about it?"

Keqing directly refuted those negative views one by one.

When she saw the idea, she immediately realized the benefits of paper money.

This thing can make work efficiency higher.

If this is the case, it should be implemented immediately.

"It's really not good to not inform the Emperor about such a big thing. Moreover, without the Emperor's support, can we really carry it out?"

Another of the Seven Stars expressed his doubts.

"Ningguang has already said that the promotion of paper money is guaranteed by Mora. Since Liyue was able to promote Mora from scratch back then, it can promote paper money now."

"..."

The Seven Stars started arguing over whether or not paper money should be introduced.

At the beginning, it was still a discussion.

Then it gradually began to evolve into an argument.

The emotions of the last few Seven Stars gradually became agitated. Some began to bang the table, and others began to take off their shoes.

Of course, this does not include Ningguang and Tianshu.

Ningguang folded her hands and supported her chin, looking at the lively scene in the reception room with a smile on her face, as steady as a rock.

Uncle Tian looked at his nose and his heart, instead of taking a sip of the hot tea in front of him, as if the lively scene in front of him had nothing to do with him.

He is old, an elder, and he no longer participates in these matters.

Ganyu looked at the supporters, then at the opponents, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She felt that both sides had their reasons and she was also struggling with this issue.

At the scene, only Yamagami Hideo looked confused and at a loss.

No, how come the scene is so chaotic right after the first topic?

Isn't it just a piece of paper? Is that so important?

Chapter 46: Unified Opinion

Hideo Yamagami was not clear about the political ecology within Liyue.

A typical issue like currency reform has now become a scene of struggle among pragmatists, radicals and conservatives.
