Explorer of Teyvat

Chapter 498 Meeting (Added before business trip)

Not to mention the diplomatic confrontation between Sage Nafis and Ayato Kamisato,

The carriage carrying the Lord of Red Sand finally arrived at the gate of Inazuma Castle after several days of travel.

The news has spread,

Many Daofe people looked at the convoy curiously, wanting to see the gods from other countries.

Among them, there was also a big fool who took his little brother to promote his friendship with the Lord of Red Sand.

"Hahahaha, that's my best friend. Did you see the gauntlet on my arm? My best friend gave it to me."

Arataki Ito showed off to the passers-by around him the obviously desert-style equipment in his hands.

Of course, this cannot be given by Wang Daoichi. It is a mysterious reward for defeating the wind erosion sandworm in the event.

Not only Arataki Yidou, but also Liyue and other friends of Mondstadt, with small desert-style gifts.

"Boss, boss, will Brother One see us?"

Arataki Yidou's younger brother also knew Wang Daoyi. After Yidou's notification, they all knew that the little brother who once accompanied them to play in the Inazuma wilderness was now a god.

Beside him, Jiuqi Ren slapped his forehead: "You guys, don't cause trouble for me!!!"

If the meeting between the Lord of Red Sand and General Thunder is ruined,

Jiu Qi Ren didn't know how long these gang members of his would be imprisoned by Tian Ling.

The carriage arrived at the gate of Inazuma Castle. Seeing the crowd gradually gathering, Kujo Sora's face became increasingly ugly.

However, she still forced a smile and knocked on the door curtain of the carriage: "Dear Lord of Red Sand, Inazuma Castle has arrived. The carriage cannot enter for the rest of the journey. We will escort you to the castle tower."

She could already imagine how her group would be watched during the next journey.

Look at the man in the carriage again, smiling so happily.

As soon as Wang Dao opened the carriage door curtain,

Came out from inside,

Looking around, I saw members of the Arataki faction in the crowd.

Remembering that he seemed to be a non-staff member of the Arataki sect, Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded to them.

He was immediately greeted by Arataki Ito's wild laughter.

For Yidou, this was too honorable.

"You'd better not continue to wink at that guy, that guy is crazy." Kujo Sora said through gritted teeth in Wang Dao's ear.

"Ito is usually very cute, Shiro. I heard that he invited you to a sumo wrestling competition. Did you agree?" Wang Daoyi smiled and looked at Kujo Shiro.

Kujo Sora's face turned dark, and his back teeth were almost broken.

"Please come with us, Your Majesty the Lord of Red Sand."

"Ha, wait a minute, how can we disappoint the enthusiastic Daofe people."

The smile on Wang Daoyi's face became more and more 'enthusiastic'.

In the eyes of the onlookers,

The somewhat familiar Lord of Red Sand stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers towards the sky.

A little light flew out and bloomed in mid-air,

Turning into little bits of light falling down,

"Oh oh oh, it's a blessing, it's a blessing." Arataki took a look and saw that this looked very familiar.

Isn't this the blessing scene he once saw in the desert?

As the light chips fall little by little,

The shrouded people in Daowu began to feel warm.

It seems that the physical fatigue and pain are disappearing.

For a moment, after hearing Arataki Yidou shouting, Inazuma's people also cheered.

God's blessing, this kind of thing is also a good topic to brag about when you go back to the tavern.

the other side,

Kujo Sora, who also felt the power of the light flakes, glanced at Wang Daoichi with complicated eyes, and then began to command the Okuki people and began to escort and many shrine maidens to the castle tower.

However, Wang Daoyi's speed was not very fast either intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't embarrass me, please come quickly."

The sound of a thunder movie suddenly rang in Wang Daoyi's ears.

Pouting his lips, Wang Daoyi stopped walking slowly and quickened his pace.

Although he didn't know why Wang Daoyi accelerated, it was a good thing, and there was a hint of joy in Kujo Sera's eyes.

After accelerating, the group quickly entered the castle tower.

The following Inaguchi people also stopped. Only Hanhan Yidou wanted to continue following, but was stopped by the guarding shogunate army.

Ichidou wanted to fight for it, but was pulled away by Kuki Shinobi.

Entering the castle tower,

Wang Daoyi also put away his cynical smile just now,

Getting serious.

In front of the castle tower,

Narugami Omiyaji has been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, you've kept me waiting for a long time. Why, are you so happy to be watched by people?"

"Hmph, why don't you remind Sanluo and watch her being used by Ayato?"

"Hey, please don't sow discord. As the palace minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine, I can't interfere in matters between ministers at will."

"Besides, Xiao Sanluo will grow up after what happened this time."

Yae Shenzi acted like it was none of my business and I was doing it for Kujo Sora's good.

Saying that, Yae Shenzi looked at Kujo Sera: "Thank you for escorting me, General Sera. Leave the rest to me."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Kujo Sora glanced at the Eightfold Divine Son coldly and said his resignation.

After Kujo Sora left,

Yae Shenzi looked at the other shrine maidens: "You have worked hard too, go and rest."

Along the way, Kujo Sora and Okukizu were responsible for driving away bandits such as Kairangui, and these shrine maidens were responsible for driving away various monsters and ghosts of Inazuma.

Many shrine maidens bowed to Yae Shenzi and then withdrew.

"Let's go, Shadow is waiting for you."

With that said, Yae Shenzi pushed open the gate of the castle tower.

In the castle tower,

A coffee table is placed in the empty hall,

Lei Yingying sat on his knees and sat aside,

Playing with the wine cup on the coffee table.

"When Zhen and I went to Liyue to participate in the banquet of the gods, this is how I accompanied Zhen. At that time, Yan Shen didn't like drinking tea, and Zhen was often drunk. After the banquet, I took charge Bring the truth back to Rice Wife.”

Looking at Wang Daoyi who walked in, Lei Qianqian said.

"Then it seems that I can taste the wine at the gods' banquet today?"

Wang Daoyi smiled and sat opposite Lei Qianqian.

Yae Shenzi walked to the side of Raikage and knelt down, took the wine cup from Raikage's hand, and started playing with it.

It used to be Raiden Shinsaku who accompanied Raiden, but now it's Yae Kamiko who keeps Raiden company.

"Ha, the wine back then was all good wine collected by Barbatos. The sake I have here can't compare to it."

Lei Qianqing picked up a glass and handed it to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi was not polite, took the wine glass and took a sip.

"Well, it's a bit refreshing, not bad."

When the sake enters the throat, it is not as strong as the Liyue wine, nor as fragrant as the Mond wine, nor as sweet as the coconut wine.

There is just a refreshing feeling that makes people feel comfortable all over.

"When Zhen was still here, I liked to play with these. This is also the recipe Zhen left behind. Just like it."

"Of course I do. I like all beautiful things, including fine wine." Wang Daoyi praised.

Lei Xingqing smiled, and Yae Shenzi beside him gave Wang Daoyi another drink. He was so quiet that he didn't look like a fox, but like a rabbit.

"As for the social affairs, I hope you don't mind. That child is also for Inazuma's benefit."

"Ha, of course I won't care. It just depends on whether Ayato can convince Nafis." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

"Thank you for your generosity." Ray Movie thanked him, and then glanced at Yae Shenzi beside him.

Yae Shenzi curled his lips, his quiet tone no longer present: "What? The industries they chose are all industries that Inazuma needs to develop. Although it may be suppressed by the Order Council in one or two hundred years, in the long run, after a hundred years, Rice Wife will definitely become more prosperous."

Lei Movie looked at Yae Shenzi helplessly: "Son of God, a person's life may not last a hundred years. We cannot use our perspective to look at the ideas of mortals."

"Okay, okay, huh, you still get scolded for doing something. It's so kind and unpaid." Yae Shenzi waved his hand and stopped adding wine to the two of them.

Wang Daoyi smiled, seeing that the fox was exhausted, he was still very drunk.

He picked up the wine bottle and added a glass to himself.

"These are all trivial matters. The Order will not exploit the people of Rice Wife. Win-win cooperation is the truth. Ying, you don't have to worry."

"I still have to thank you and Buyer. Compared with Zhen, I am really not good at running a country. It may be a good thing to have the help of the Order."

When talking about governing the country in thunder movies, the real impact of thunder and lightning cannot be escaped.

That great god, the god who bought Inazuma five hundred years even if he died, was the biggest regret in Lei Qianqiu's heart.

"Let's talk about business. When will we leave?" Wang Daoyi skipped the topic of governing the country and asked,

He didn't even understand this thing himself.

"It has been detected that there are monsters gathering in the dark sea, and they will probably attack from the direction of Qinglai Island. I have mobilized the shogunate army to guard them. Once the monster attack starts and we find the evil god behind the monsters, we can set off."

Speaking of monsters and evil gods, Lei Qianqian finally didn't look gentle. The cold sky light flashed in her eyes, and the terrifying murderous intent swept through her.

This Thunder God was born as a shadow warrior, and what he was best at was killing.

"Qing Lai Island? Are there any residents there?" Wang Daoyi asked with some confusion.

Monsters naturally attack people. On Qinglai Island, when he came to Daozhu before, Qinglai Island was full of remnant souls of thunderbirds - thunderstorms swept by thunder sounds.

"Well, the travelers solved the problem of Lei Yinquan and reopened the seal. Some old people from Qinglai Island returned there, and now the shogunate army is trying their best to persuade them to leave."

Lei Movie said.

For those old people, Lei Movie has no good solution. They just want to go back to their hometown before they die. If they die in their hometown, what can you do?

"What about Haiji Island?"

"I issued an order to ask Kaijijima to send troops to fight against the monsters. The living god miko agreed. In return, the shogunate will increase the material assistance to Kaijijima."

"That's good. It seems that after this time, the relationship between Kaijijima and the shogunate can be eased a little more."

"I hope so. I will instruct the shogunate army to help Sergeant Kaijijima as much as possible during the battle."

"Ha, I believe that at this time, Coral Palace Xinhai is also saying the same thing to her soldiers."

Lei Movie and Coral Palace Xinhai have the same idea,

There must be peace between Kaijijima and the Inazuma Shogunate;

Only in this way can people on both sides live a good life.

This transfer order from the shogunate is also an opportunity for Coral Palace Xinhai to promote reconciliation between the two parties.

Presumably, under the orders of the two top leaders of both parties,

At that time, there will be a scene of 'harmony and friendship' on the battlefield.

When the war is over, both sides will become comrades, whether those soldiers want it or not.

but

"However, you still have to pay attention to the militant faction in the shogunate. Not everyone desires peace."

Wang Dao reminded him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lei Movie nodded slightly: "I know this. Everything about the Inazuma warriors comes from me. The desire for victory flows in every vein of their bodies. It is wrong to forcibly suppress their desire for victory. , I will bring some militants to the front line."

After a pause, a faint purple flashed in Lei Qianqian's eyes: "As for those who want to restart the war between the shogunate and Kaijijima, they will not end well."

The thunder movie says it won’t end well,

Probably a price worse than death.

"In that case, that's the best." Wang Daoyi also smiled.

Since the cooperation between Inazuma and Sumi has been promoted, and it is a win-win cooperation,

Having a stable rice wife is the best thing for Xumi.

Various specialties from Inazuma's side can also be steadily introduced into Sumeru and into the desert through cooperation between the two parties.

Various specialty commodities produced in the desert can also enter Daozuma's market through cooperation channels.

Only when the political situation remains stable can the economy circulate and the market prosper.

"It's still early, how about we play a few games?"

"It's what I asked for."

Two gods play chess in the castle tower.

And on the other side,

In the embassy on the outlying island,

The game between Nafis and Kamisato Ayato is also going on.

"In any case, Ambassador Nafis, it is impossible for Inazuma to only import food from Xumi. The final bottom line I can give is that Inazuma will give priority to purchasing food from Xumi at the same price. .”

As the biggest problem of Daowie, the lack of fertile land is an unavoidable pain for the people of Daowie.

Compared to the great plains of Mondstadt that were forcibly blown out by the wind god, the Qingce Village developed in Liyue through the ages, and the rich products of the Xumi Rainforest.

Inazuma is really miserable. Only the main island of Inazuma has cultivated land. The other islands are either deserted or affected by disasters, not to mention Haiji Island. Its own food needs to be supplemented by fishing.

If we want to free our people from tedious agricultural production, the food problem must be solved.

But in the current situation of Rice Wife, it is impossible to meet the needs of its own people no matter how much they grow, so it is better to ensure the minimum arable land, then convert agriculture into handicrafts, and start importing food.

"Okay, then let's write down the priority in the regulations. Let's talk about tariffs again. Tariffs on food should be reduced or exempted!"

At this time, Nafis didn't look like a high-ranking sage in the church, but rather like a merchant hanging out on Baoshang Street.

Ayato spends a lot of time in Wakami for a little 'petty profit'.

However, many scholars and social workers around them thought it was normal.

After all, it is a state-related transaction, and even a tax of one ten thousandth of a point will be raised into a huge figure in a huge transaction.

By saving some tariffs here, maybe there will be funds within the Order to support the research of a few more scholars.

"Tariffs on food can be exempted within the scope of the shogunate's procurement. However, I hope that the tariffs on other high-end alchemy items and luxury goods can be increased."

Kamisato Ayato nodded to Nafis, not only willing to reduce tariffs on food, but even directly exempt from tax.

However, the scope given is the purchasing scope of the shogunate, which means that if Sumeru wants to dump grains on Inazuma and sell them privately, the shogunate will still impose high taxes.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayato also imposed high tax restrictions on the high-tech products that the Imperial Academy was best at, as well as luxury goods that Inazuma commoners did not need.

It's not that Inazuma doesn't want those high-end alchemy products, it's mainly because they are too destructive to Inazuma's handicraft industry. Think about it, a country that can build Gundam exports high-tech to an agricultural country. It won't take long. It directly destroyed the social structure of this agricultural country.

As for luxury goods, this is all the same. Things that have no benefit to the country are generally only liked by high-ranking officials and nobles, so it is normal to impose high taxes.

Tax exemption for luxury goods is the most stupid approach.

Regarding Kamisato Ayato's statement, Nafis did not refute: "We will also impose restrictions on high-end alchemy tools. Only Inazuma people with permission from the Inazuma Shogunate will be allowed to purchase them. As for luxury items, Taste, it doesn’t matter.”

In the eyes of scholars, those high-tech products that cannot be produced on assembly lines are the real luxuries.

As for those decorative luxuries that the folk say, scholars look down upon them.

Scholars will only pay attention to it unless it is an antique or a social product with research value.

"Thank you for your generosity and friendship, thank you very much." Kamisato Ayato thanked Nafis again.

Nafis said that only the Inazuma Shogunate is allowed to purchase, which will give the Inazuma Shogunate a very large say.

"Don't rush to thank me first. The Order's external commercial exchanges have been opened. Our products are not only sold to Daozu, Liyue, Mondstadt, and Fontaine. They are all purchased. If someone in Daozu smuggles it, we don't care about it. of."

Smuggling, in the exchanges between countries, private smuggling activities are bound to appear.

After all, the greed of capital will not allow them to obediently pay the high taxes.

The capital here does not distinguish between large capital or small capital.

"Don't worry, the designation enforcement committee will supervise Daozuma's business activities."

Kamisato Ayato smiled and asked this question to Kansei.

When the time comes, if the administrative department is mismanaged, it will not be too late for the social agency to intervene and seize power.

"Mr. Ambassador, it's getting late. Why don't you take a break and eat first? We'll continue with the rest of the regulations tomorrow."

"good."
