Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 284 Duck Duck doesn't understand, but Duck Duck is shocked
"Sir, do you want to watch me collect debts, or train recruits?"

Replying to colleagues’ letters is of course not allowed to be read by Zhongli. Although Dadalia doubts that every plant and tree in Liyue’s realm cannot escape the control of this gentleman, he will not make fun of himself and take the initiative to share the secrets of fools. Inform people.

Zhong Li looked up at the gradually brightening sky.

"Then go and have a look at the debt collection, Your Excellency."

The last executive of the Fools clasped his leather-covered hands behind his head in distress.

"Ah...this kind of thing...does Mr. Zhongli really want to see it?"

The debt collection task of Beiguo Bank is not a door-to-door begging like a child playing house. Most of the debtors are diehards and old people. To recover this kind of debt, some threats and violence will be used to some extent.

Hearing Dadalia's answer, Zhongli smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Didn't Your Excellency agree to take Zhong to see the executive's daily work last night?"

Dadalia took a deep breath.

Last night when he was walking with Zhong Li, he chatted with this Mr. Ke Qing about his process of becoming an executive officer, and he also bragged about how strong his work ability is and how much His Majesty the Empress appreciates him.

As a result, under Zhongli's suggestive language, Dadalia casually promised that tomorrow he would take Zhongli away to experience the daily work of the fools' executives.

Only now did Dadalia complain in his heart.

Zhongli attaches great importance to promises and agreements, and Dadalia doesn't want to violate the so-called contract, so he can only bite the bullet and explain to Zhongli: "Because most of these debts are usury, and the means of collection are not bright."

The wealth of Beiguo Bank is piled up like a sea of ​​stars, and there are countless zeros in the account of his son Dadalia, so how could it be that the wind blows or it is exchanged with a little bit of sweat with both hands?
She behaved innocently in everything she did, but that could not be exchanged for Mo La.

"There are always some people who are short of money, but they can't get those low-interest and reliable loans, because those loans also need creditworthy borrowers, and some people don't meet the criteria for low-interest loans."

After Dadalia finished speaking, he stared at Zhongli with his non-glossy eyes, trying to see the likes and dislikes in Zhongli's eyes.

"So they came to Northland Bank?"

What's disappointing is that Zhongli's eyes are still indifferent, as if nothing is worth mentioning in his eyes.

"Of course, Northland Bank is willing to take the risk of lending to those unreliable lenders, so it charges a higher price."

Usury is a major source of funds for Beiguo Bank. Although the interests of Haimao are still incomparable, there will only be more blood soaked behind Haimao. Dadalia doesn't want to show Mr. Zhongli this yet.

He also wanted to save the precarious image of fools in the other party's eyes.

Although Mr. Zhongli didn't seem to care about his identity as an executive officer.

"It's fair enough."

"At the beginning of the loan, they thought they could repay the interest, so they dared to sign the contract."

Zhong Li shook his head lightly, an imperceptible glint flashed in his golden eyes.

He didn't like such a borrower or lender.

All the money that circulates in the continent is his flesh and blood. In this way, Morax guarantees all the sweat, wisdom and future of mankind. This is his trust in all living beings. To live up to Mora is to stain his blood.

"Almost so."

Dadalia approached Zhongli with a smile, and quickly arranged the order of the three bills to be collected today. If it was a weekday, if he wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and go back to chat with Zhongli, he would arrange a back and forth last bill. Quick order.

But today Dadalia carefully selected and ranked the person with the farthest distance and the worst character in the bill at the first place.

A clod obsessed with gambling... a gambling monster.

"These people dare to bet on anything, even their own relatives, in order to come back at the poker table."

Even if he doesn't like this kind of person, then Zhongli won't like it either.

Dadalia thought it would be best to put such a person first.

Zhongli might be able to see Dadalia's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, just walked slowly beside him, watching the profile of the orange-haired youth.

"This person's debts are enough to fall into your hands, so he must be a very difficult person?"

"He's a guy with a background in the Treasure Bandit."

Dadalia stretched his leather-covered fist excitedly: "I can exercise my muscles and bones today, sir, don't compete with me."

Zhong Li couldn't help but laugh.

"I won't take your job."

Why did Dadalia feel that he would compete with him for this?
Thinking about it, when the loan was first issued, Beiguo Bank did not expect the guy from the treasure robbers to pay back the loan.

Although the Northern Bank is a bank, its supreme principle is not Mora, but the will of the Winter Queen.

Expansion of power is far more important than money.

And this member of the treasure robber group who has lived in Liyue for a long time should be the next chess piece for Beiguo Bank to expand its influence in Liyue.

Most of the people in Liyue are good at calculating, not to mention the emperor who has lived for a thousand years, and he understood the intention of Beiguo Bank with just a little brainstorming.

"In Liyue, there are many similar banks that are willing to borrow usury. Since he chooses to borrow money from Beiguo Bank, the one he will be loyal to in the future may not be Liyue anymore."

Zhong Li said with a distant gaze, with a warm smile still on his face.

Dadalia shook his hands awkwardly.

"But he will not become a spy of the solstice."

"It's just that when necessary, I have to do a few small things for Beiguo Bank."

Dadalia looked up to observe Zhongli's expression, and Mr. Ke Qing just said calmly: "Indeed, this is also in line with universal rationality."

On the way to collect debts, the two passed by the bustling Feiyunpo, people of all kinds passed by, shouts of breakfast hawkers were heard endlessly, shops opened one after another, and the warm sunshine shone down.

"My daily job is to expand the influence of the northern kingdom in Liyue. As a Liyue person, sir, why are you willing to be a guide for someone like me?"

Dadalia was the first to lose his composure, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he finally expressed his long-standing confusion.

"Based on general rationality, among the challenges faced by the Fools and the Bank of Northland in the land of Liyue, the threat is far from the top."

It seemed that Dadalia's question was unexpected, Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, and then responded calmly:

"Fontaine, Sumeru, Inazuma, Mond... The forces of the seven countries are intertwined. Even the closed-door Inazuma cannot prevent the prying eyes of other countries, let alone Liyue who is open to trade?"

"This is the risk that a commercial country must face. There are risks and there are benefits."

"The work of the Fools is indeed excellent, but don't underestimate Liyue's Seven Stars, they can handle this kind of thing."

Dadalia was silent.

"So Mr. Zhongli doesn't care about Liyueren's life or death?"

"Sacrifice is also part of the test. If there is no sacrifice, how can there be strength? If there is no price, how can loyalty be found?"

Dadalia was shocked.

He always thought that Zhongli, as a Liyue native, would have a deep attachment and love for the land of Liyue, so he never dared to reveal his true purpose.

"Even a child in swaddling clothes must learn to drink milk by himself. What's more, Liyue is now a strong adult. Blood and tears are an indispensable part of growth. Without the watering of blood and tears, children There's nowhere to grow."

Zhongli's voice was calm and his smile remained the same, but what he said suddenly made Dadalia feel that the distance between him and the other party was getting farther.

It's like being in the Winter Palace, facing the high Ice Queen.
