Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me.

But if you do things just for the sake of reputation, you are putting the cart before the horse.

When the Grand Master left, he left the Knights to manage the order so that she could do practical things, not to gain reputation.

However, she couldn't find a reason to refute what Gelmer and Kagel said.

"Um...may I say something?"

Su Chen, who was recording the summary of the meeting, closed his notepad.

"Instead of arguing here, everyone should think about how to solve the problem. The food problem is indeed imminent. Again, if everyone can have enough to eat, who will be willing to kill each other?"

Although he couldn't help but applaud, he didn't expect to see Earth Fire perform such an operation 500 years later. This really gave Su Chen a big surprise.

However, he has received professional training and always keeps his position in mind. Moreover, he is still the man next to Captain Qin and should not cheer for the enemy.

Gail Mai glanced at Su Chen and said calmly: "Your Excellency Su Chen, although you are the assistant to Captain Qin, please pay attention to the occasion. This is not the place for you to express your opinions."

The implication is that you are not qualified to speak here.

Although Su Chen's ability is indeed good and has been recognized by many people in the Knights.

But Su Chen, a Liyue native, had no power and power, and was not qualified to get involved in Mondstadt's government affairs.

"What Su Chen said is what I meant." Qin said seriously, "Your Excellency Gailmai, the reason why the people are incited by the underground fire is simple and clear. Rather than spending a lot of manpower on encirclement and suppression, stabilizing the people's hearts is the key. If the people No more suffering, no matter what the earth fire says, it’s useless.”

"Don't worry about this." Gaelmai raised the corner of his mouth, "I have contacted my friends in Liyue a few days ago and purchased a large amount of grain from Liyue at a preferential price. It should be delivered to Mondstadt soon. .”

Su Chen touched his chin and thought that your so-called preferential price was not a ten or twenty discount, right?

However, when she heard that the food was available, Qin's face improved a little.

In fact, Mondstadt also has trade relations with Liyue, and a large amount of food is sent to Mondstadt every month, but it is obviously not enough now, and it will take time to discuss it with Liyue.

The top priority is to stabilize the people in the city first.

The meeting ended quickly, and Qin issued an announcement to appease the rioting people of Mondstadt, telling them not to listen to the instigation of Earthfire, and that a large amount of food would be distributed soon.

Qin knew how difficult it was to get the nobles to provide food. This was equivalent to shaking the foundation of the nobles' interests.

So we can only start from other aspects for the time being.

As for Su Chen, he had no intention of taking action.

Although Dihuo's actions are a bit extreme at present, special problems are handled specially. After experiencing this simulation, he has a deeper understanding of Mondstadt.

The struggle between the nobles and the Earth Fire has lasted for 500 years, and now, it should have come to an end.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what Earth Fire could achieve without his leadership.

...

"teacher."

When Su Chen returned to his residence, Arya, who was cleaning the yard, immediately bowed to him and saluted.

"Don't be so nervous." Su Chen smiled slightly, "How's it going? Are you satisfied with the room?"

Arya nodded.

Arya felt as if she was in a dream when she came out of the miserable slum and walked into this small single-family house.

Although she still hasn't figured out what Su Chen wants to teach her when she wants to be her teacher.

"I brought you some books...do you know the words?"

Walking into the room, Su Chen put the books he brought back from the library on the coffee table.

"know a little."

"Learned before?"

"Well, my father taught me, and then he died in an accident. My mother took me with her until last year..."

Arya said, hanging her head.

Su Chen patted her little head and said softly: "Then from today on, this is your home."

Arya raised her head, doubts shining in her bright eyes.

"Teacher...why do you want to help me?"

"Because I want to...is this a reason?" Su Chen smiled lightly, "Okay, don't think so much, the next course will not be easy. In addition to these books, I will also arrange for you to learn other things."

"these are..."

"Alchemy from Beginner to Master"

"Basic Theory of Element Reaction Mechanism"

"Earth Vein Guide"

Arya glanced twice and felt her eyes spinning.

"Teacher..." She grimaced, "These are so difficult, I can't learn them."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

With the sage template, these contents are not difficult for Su Chen at all.

Not to mention, the authors of these books have all taken classes under him, and their papers were reviewed by Su Chen.

Of course, Su Chen did not intend to train Arya into a knowledgeable scholar, but only to give her a basic understanding of some theories. After all, the world is still dominated by elemental power, and only by understanding the mechanism can we make better use of it.

In addition, Su Chen also plans to teach Arya swordsmanship, which is the essence of West Wind swordsmanship 500 years ago. So far, no more than five people in Mondstadt have caught his eye by learning this swordsmanship.

The next day, Lisa appeared in the yard of Su Chen's residence.

She crossed her arms and looked at Arya who was looking down at her book.

"You asked me to help find so many books just for her to read? What a lucky little guy."

"Why does it smell so sour? I didn't hide it when I taught you before." Su Chen chuckled, "What's wrong? Are you here suddenly?"

"Qin's situation is a bit not good right now."

Lisa turned and said seriously.

There was just a meeting yesterday, and Qin sent out the announcement. As a result, a knight covered in blood this morning brought back the news - the caravan sent from Liyue to Mondstadt was attacked when passing through the Benlang Territory, and everyone was attacked. All the food was robbed!

The news spread quickly, and the entire city of Mondstadt was in chaos.

Because Qin personally promised that food would be delivered, he was able to appease the people. Now that the matter fell through, Qin first received questions and inquiries from the people.

"Now a large number of people have gathered outside the Knights Building. They want Qin to give an explanation. I suspect there are people from the underground fire who are secretly adding fuel to the flames. Otherwise, it would not be possible to develop so fast."

"It would be strange not to."

Su Chen was also surprised when he heard the news, and even couldn't help but praise Dihuo's actions.

Intercepting supplies, spreading news to cause panic, and then jumping out as a savior after reaching a certain level. This series of operations made him see the shadow of 500 years ago.

"What a surprise." Su Chen touched his chin, "Where's Geermei?"

Lisa asked in confusion: "What did you ask him for?"

"You see, if the news about this batch of food had not been released, people in Mondstadt would not have said anything and would have just carried on with their lives as usual. It was not like the whole city was running out of food. But Gelmai gave everyone Hope, the key is that this hope was spread by Qin, and now that hope is shattered, it is even more uncomfortable than not telling them in the first place."

"Do you suspect that Gailmai did all this? Just to suppress Qin?"

"If it's just like this, with the support of the Gunnhild family, what does he mean to a Gaelmai?" Su Chen shook his head, "What you can see on the surface is often confusing information. Just wait, this matter Now that something has happened, beneficiaries will naturally come out to reap the fruits.”

Suddenly he thought of someone.

If there is anyone who is most familiar with the operation of underground fire 500 years ago, it is undoubtedly the lady, Miss Rosalind.

And if Gailmei wants to suppress Qin, his own ability is obviously not enough. Even if he involves the deputy captain, if there is a fool behind it, then everything will make sense.

Sure enough, when the public questioning reached its peak, a large amount of food suddenly appeared in Mondstadt and was distributed to the poor people through the operation of underground fire.

Immediately afterwards, the Fools put pressure on the Knights and offered to help the Knights solve the dragon plague problem for the sake of the people of Mondstadt.

With the reputation of the Knights at a low point, if they continue to reject the Fools' proposal, the situation will become even more difficult to deal with, not to mention that as the inspector general, Germer jumped out immediately and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Fools. , solve the dragon disaster together.

As the acting leader, Qin is caught in a dilemma.

If she opposes Gelmai, the latter will definitely unite with the Fools, take advantage of the food problem to put pressure on her, and even force her to give up her position as group leader.

But if you agree, then you are playing into the hands of fools.

Once the Fools are involved in the dragon disaster issue, it will be beyond Qin's control.

"I don't agree to provide food relief to the people."

Knights Building.

A group symbolizing the power of the aristocracy gathered here under Qin's call.

The originally planned food was lost, so naturally she had to find a way to get some more, so Qin mentioned asking the nobles of Mondstadt to come up with some of the food.

In this way, it can not only solve the terrorist attack by the underground fire on the pretext of "beating the nobles and sharing food", but also calm the current riots in Mondstadt.

But sure enough, when this proposal was put forward, it was immediately opposed by almost everyone.

Andre sarcastically said: "Captain Qin, can I understand this as sacrificing our interests to solve your dilemma?"

"This is not my personal problem." Qin said in a deep voice, "Everyone, you should also be aware of the situation in Mondstadt. If this matter is allowed to continue, not only the Knights, but also everyone present will be affected."

"In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the underground fire behind it, which led to today's situation. Captain Qin, I have long said that those guys should not be let go, but you just don't listen. What's the result?"

Germai shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency, the Inspector General, is right." Andre snorted, "Those damn remnants of the Earth Fire, if they hadn't fanned the flames, how could those stupid people dare to openly confront us? The top priority now is not for us to come up with something. , but to find ways to deal with those bastards, otherwise it will be like 500 years ago, the great Captain Rustan once gave everything for Mondstadt, if it were not for the fire, Mondstadt would be far more prosperous than it is now!"

"Now that the matter has come to this, will Captain Qin continue to make mistakes? If you continue to insist on this wrong direction, we have to consider whether you are capable of leading Mond to move forward... I think of Mond's voice at that time, Will it embarrass you more?"

As he spoke, a smile appeared in Andre's eyes. Before that, he had reached an agreement with other nobles to jointly protect the rights of the nobles.

Want them to give precious food to those stupid people?

Don't even think about this kind of thing.

...

Chapter 19 Su Chen, the mastermind behind the scenes [ninth update]

The proposal to let the nobles share their grain was naturally rejected. Although Qin guessed that this would be the most likely result, she still couldn't help but feel chilled when she saw the faces of all the nobles present who unanimously expressed their decision.
