Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

The Seven Stars are also divided on this issue.

The pragmatic ones, such as Ningguang and Tianshu, think that as long as it is useful, it is fine. No matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. They don’t need to care too much about the opinions of others and the Emperor.

Therefore, they did not participate in this debate.

The only radical one is Keqing.

It is suggested that you should not listen to the Emperor in everything and be a good boy.

Let people make more decisions.

As for the rest, one was neutral, and the remaining three were considered conservatives. In fact, they followed the same old routine, always following the Emperor's will and looking for the Emperor when in doubt.

Important matters should be delayed as long as possible, until the time comes to summon the immortals to the Emperor for rituals.

For actions like currency reform, of course the emperor's opinion must be sought first.

So the current situation on the field is that Keqing is debating with a group of scholars alone.

Of course, the difference in choice does not mean that there is no unity within the Seven Stars.

On the contrary, the Seven Stars remain united under the banner of Liyue.

The dispute among the Seven Stars is only for the better development of Liyue’s interests.

It’s just that people always have their own ideas.

After arguing for the last minute, we will eventually come up with a solution that everyone can accept.

Like right now, after a few minutes of loud arguing.

"Then how do you want people to accept paper money? Mora has been in circulation on the continent for thousands of years. Why do people want to change to paper money? Specifically? What do you think?"

"I……"

Keqing started to get stuck.

As someone who manages real estate, she has just learned about this. She can only see that there are many benefits, but how can she know the details?

"I have actually prepared a feasible plan for this."

Ningguang, who had been silent the whole time, saw that the quarrel had almost died down, so she stood up and distributed information to everyone.

"Please stop arguing. It is so rude to be polite in front of Mr. Yamagami."

"This is……"

Everyone looked at Ningguang's plan.

Unite the eight major families, their industries and chambers of commerce, and promote paper money.

Only paper money is accepted for trade within Liyue. In trade outside Liyue, paper money is preferred and certain discounts are given for using paper money.

The trade directly handled by the chambers of commerce under the eight major families alone accounts for more than 80% of Liyue’s total trade.

The remaining 20% ​​mostly rely on the support of these chambers of commerce and naturally follow them.

In addition, all merchants who use paper money will be given tax reductions.

Customers who use paper money to settle retail transactions will be given discounts.

All merchants in Liyue are not allowed to restrict the use of paper money.

Subsequently, a regulation was issued that all departments in Liyue must use paper money to pay salaries.

The same applies to the eight major families as well.

Moreover, one of the major regulations Ningguang made was that paper money deposits would enjoy interest, which would be higher than that of the Northland Bank, while the price of Mora deposits was fixed.

However, the key point is that within the entire territory of Teyvat, there is no restriction on the exchange of paper money and Mora, only a small handling fee will be charged.

Monetary reform is also linked to the subsequent banking system.

Basically, it is already a relatively mature solution.

"You guys just argued about a lot of things, but after all, it was nothing more than taking into account the emperor's thoughts and whether it was feasible. How could this be a problem?

As for the feasibility issue, you already have a plan in hand. If you have any other questions, please raise them. We can work together and make progress. When many hands make light work, the fire burns brighter.

If it's about the Emperor, then it just so happens that this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony is not far away. We might as well make preparations first, and then report to the Emperor in detail when the Immortal Invitation Ceremony comes. If the Emperor agrees, then we can proceed directly, and the result will be the same."

This plan is very good.

It's not that they fail to see the benefits of currency reform and the promotion of paper money, but they are worried about the risks involved.

It’s not a risk like counterfeit currency. Ningguang has already provided a solution to this problem.

The two main concerns are the emperor's thoughts and the issue of action.

This plan solved two major concerns in their minds.

They looked at Ningguang.

Obviously, Ningguang had already anticipated their thoughts and came prepared this time.

Watching them quarrel before might have been just to draw out their true thoughts.

They really have no reason to object now.

In this way, the general direction was clarified.

But there are still some concerns on the details.

"What if the Emperor doesn't agree with our plan?"

"If you don't agree, then..."

Keqing was the first to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

How could ordinary people like them predict the Emperor's thoughts?

Even though she has always been against asking the emperor for instructions on everything, she doesn't dare to say that she is smarter than the emperor.

"Then let's narrow our target down."

Ningguang stepped forward and motioned for them to look at the following content.

“If the railway system is put into operation and brings about an explosion in the transportation industry, then even if we still use Mora, we may be able to regain the initiative. It’s just a matter of a few years later and spending more money.”

This means that even the backup plan has been selected.

"If currency reform cannot be implemented, then we will first implement a banking mechanism in Liyue Harbor, pool the wealth of Liyue Harbor, build a power system, and construct railways. Then, after the cost of transporting Mora decreases, we will also have a chance to regain the initiative."

Chapter 47: Can Thunder Slime be used to generate electricity?

In the Jade Pavilion, during the process of discussion, argument, and question-answering, the opinions of the Seven Stars gradually became unified.

The Seven Stars are some of the biggest businessmen in Liyue, and have close ties with the eight major families that control the Eight Gates.

Some of the Seven Stars even came from these eight families, such as Yuheng Star Keqing.

The Seven Stars of Liyue are pure, but the people who serve as the Seven Stars of Liyue have a dual nature.

On the one hand, as one of the Seven Stars, they are responsible for Liyue; on the other hand, as a big businessman with close ties to the eight major families, they are responsible for their own interests and the interests of those behind them.

The seven stars were invited here this time and, to a certain extent, they also represent the eight major families.

They have to pay attention to whether there are any policies that will harm the interests of the eight major families.

If so, how to compensate.

Fortunately, at present, there is no excessive content involved, and the core is still consistent towards the outside world.

It’s no wonder that Liyue doesn’t have such a shitty comprador group, and they are still very united when facing the Northern Bank that has already invaded Liyue.

Especially the Northland Bank didn't take them seriously at all.

This made them very unhappy.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what they use, and they still make money whether it is opening a bank or carrying out infrastructure activities.

In the general direction, the interests of both parties are consistent.

When the seven stars reached a consensus, it meant that Liyue’s upper echelons were basically united on this matter. From top to bottom, the power of the entire Liyue could be mobilized at any time.

The consensus reached by the Seven Stars is that currency reform will have to wait for a while before the ceremony, the railway system needs to carry out massive preparation and mobilization work, and the banking and power systems can take action immediately.

The issue with the bank has become clear. Ningguang gave them a further explanation. The eight major families have already been notified and have a preliminary intention. The Seven Stars also unanimously agreed that Ningguang should handle the matter and they will fully cooperate.

The biggest problem for the Seven Stars is the power system.

"When can we see the real thing? To be honest, such a huge investment must be seen to be believed."

"Before I set off, the laboratory had successfully prepared and verified the relevant equipment. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have been successfully applied at this time. Perhaps, Captain Beidou can bring the relevant equipment and technicians back to Liyue during the next trade.

I suggest that we start with raw materials and production.”

Yamagami Hideo repeated what he had said to Ningguang before.

This was the nth time he had repeated this content.

Several people in the reception room nodded when they heard this.

Beidou travels to Inazuma and back once every three months, including the time spent at anchor. The next trip to Inazuma is about two and a half months away, which is not too long.

They can give a heads-up here and work closely with Beidou's fleet, giving priority to loading and unloading and supplies, so that the speed can be even faster.

This answer is quite satisfactory.

What they are most concerned about is the physical issues.

This determines their persuasiveness and subsequent investment.

They didn't suspect it was fake.

This is the person brought by Beidou. Beidou may be generous, but that doesn’t mean he is stupid.

And Ningguang also agreed.

The other seven stars are all focusing on the project, which has limited relationship with Keqing.

She is in charge of real estate.

She just needs to cooperate in approving the construction permit and the land needed to build the power plant.

Every inch of land in Liyue Harbor is valuable, and there are plenty of lands outside of Liyue Harbor, so you can just pick a suitable place.

Compared to the limited project itself, Keqing has other things that interest her.

She herself is the holder of the Eye of Thunder and is very familiar with lightning.

She looked at the generator with great curiosity.

"If it's an elemental creature like Thunder Slime or Thunder Flower, can it be used to replace the generator?"

“It’s theoretically possible, but the output of these low-level elemental creatures is too weak and too unstable.

"Then can someone with the Thunder God's Eye be allowed to take his place?"

Hearing that it was theoretically feasible, Keqing became eager to try it.

If we can find an alternative method, we won’t have to worry about someone raising the price of Liyue one day in the future.

"Uh, this..."

Yamagami Hideo didn't know how to answer.

Why would anyone want to use the Thunder God's Eye to generate electricity?

Aren’t you really afraid of tiring people to death?

"This...if it is at the level of Wuxiang Thunder and can be output continuously and stably, then it may be feasible."

Yamagami Hideo organized his words and felt that saying this should be able to tactfully break the other party's fantasy, right?

As expected, after hearing what he said, Keqing gave up her idea.

"Forget it then."

How desperate must she be to catch the Formless Thunder to replace a machine?

Moreover, she did not think that she had the ability to make the formless thunder output stable output to him.
