Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

"I am an old fool, so I will punish myself with a drink."

Next, the head of the Kun family, who was in charge of the Black Rock Arsenal and the Qianyan Army, asked Su Yu for advice on how to lead troops to fight.

In the past three years, the Fools and the soldiers of the Solstice Kingdom have always been the envy of the Kun family head in terms of execution ability, spirit of sacrifice, and absolute loyalty to the Ice Queen. For this reason, he has also established a special research department. Research on the training methods of the Winter Solstice Kingdom turned out to be fruitless.

After a lot of observation, they found that the training methods and concepts of the Winter Solstice Kingdom were not much different from those of the other six countries.

"Your Highness, why is it that even though everyone uses almost the same training method, the combat effectiveness of the Winter Soldiers is much higher than that of the other six nations?"

Ning Guang, Ke Qing and others looked slightly surprised.

You must know that Qianyan Army has the greatest reputation among the armies of the Seven Kingdoms.

The predecessor of the Qianyan Army, the Qianyan Regiment, once followed the emperor to fight in the Demon God War more than 3000 years ago, and became famous all over the world.

Later, more than 1000 years ago, due to the wear and tear of Dragon King Ruotuo getting out of control, the emperor led the Qianyan Army to stop Dragon King Ruotuo, and the civil war between immortals and demons broke out in Liyue.

In the end, the Ruotuo Dragon King was sealed, and the Qianyan Army destroyed the Rock Dragon Lizard troops and achieved great military exploits.

500 years ago, Kanreia was destroyed, and the abyssal troops invaded the Strata Abyss. Fushe Yaksha commanded the Qianyan Army and successfully repelled the enemy.

After three battles, the Qianyan Legion established its absolute prestige among the Seven Kingdoms, and the other legions of the Six Nations could not compete with it.

At today's night banquet, the head of the Kun family, as Liyue's general, asked Prince Zhidong for advice, which was tantamount to openly admitting that Liyue's Qianyan Army was no longer as good as Zhidong.

"The answer is obvious, isn't it? Every subject of Zhidong absolutely believes that Prince Zhidong can lead them to victory, without any doubt."

"Spiritual power can stimulate the potential of soldiers, giving them extraordinary willpower and combat effectiveness."

Su Yu didn't mind telling him the reason.

Because of the successful experience of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, none of the other six countries could replicate it.

The head of the Kun family said with confusion on his face: "But Your Highness, the Qianyan Army also believes that the emperor is invincible."

"totally different."

At this moment, Su Yu stared at the Sky Island high in the sky, hidden among the dark clouds.

"Zhidong's goal is to overthrow the laws of heaven as the ultimate goal of victory. And you, Liyue, your emperor, how can you compare with Zhidong and me!"

Chapter 76 Business Opportunities

After Su Yu started to govern Zhidong three years ago, the whole country made it clear that the goal of overthrowing the laws of nature was to overthrow it.

At first, the eleven executive officers' recommendations were consistent with Her Majesty's previous policy and were hidden from the public.

However, Su Yu insisted that resisting the law of heaven might lead to the consequences of destroying the country like Kanreia, so he should not hide it from the people. Instead, he should make the matter public and win the absolute support of the people.

The battle of life and death in the winter requires the concerted efforts of the whole country.

And the people present here are all the highest-ranking officials in Liyue, so it doesn’t hurt to tell them Zhidong’s goal of overturning the laws of heaven——

Mondstadt's main army is on an expedition in the northern region. It is difficult to fight against the monsters emerging from the ruins of Kanria, which will cause heavy casualties. Inazuma's shogunate army cannot even defeat the "rebel army" led by Coral Palace Shinkai. , the combat effectiveness is relatively average.

A country as big as Sumeru relies on a private armed organization, the Gilded Brigade, to defend the country. It does not even have a formal army, so it is impossible to count on it. The internal situation of Fontaine and Natal is even more complicated, and their military strength is weak. .

Therefore, among the other six countries, only Liyue's Qianyan Legion has the strongest combat effectiveness.

At the critical moment of life and death in Zhidong, Qianyan Army may be able to assist in the battle.

Moreover, after his mission, Zhongli would sooner or later reveal this matter to Liyue Qixing, reminding them to prepare for war.

After hearing Su Yu's answer, the head of the Kun family suddenly became enlightened.

He once speculated that the strong combat effectiveness of Zhidong Kingdom's soldiers was due to the use of special medicines. Now he realized that Zhidong's soldiers were under heavy pressure to survive.

The ancient country of Kanria was destroyed by heavenly principles, and they, the senior officials of Liyue, naturally knew about this past event.

The pressure of the Zhidong Kingdom to resist the laws of nature, if placed on any other country, would be enough to overwhelm and destroy the will of the people. However, the presence of the Ice Queen and Prince Zhidong in Zhidong gave the people great confidence, and the pressure instead changed. It became the driving force for progress.

This is the fundamental reason why the soldiers of the Winter Kingdom are so brave and good at fighting.

It can be said that today's Winter Soldiers are like the Qianyan Legion at its peak during the War between Gods and Demons.

At that time, the Qianyan Legion formed a battle formation, which was enough to compete with the Demon God.

After learning about Prince Zhidong's goal, the head of the Kun family clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance. I know how to train the Qianyan Army in the future."

"Train well. In the future, if Morax gives an order, maybe Zhidong and Liyue will coordinate their operations in the future."

The head of the Kun family immediately felt the pressure.

Prince Zhidong may have reached a tacit agreement with the emperor by saying this.

Liyue may not be able to stand idly by when Zhi Dong rebels against the laws of nature.

But immediately, a high-spirited look appeared in his eyes.

The Qianyan Legion has decayed and declined to this day, and a great battle is needed to regain the lost glory.

"If the emperor gives orders, the Qianyan Army will go through fire and water and charge into battle!"

The manager of Tianji Xingxiao raised his wine glass and asked Su Yu for advice.

"Your Highness, our family has been managing Liyue's maritime transport fleet for the emperor, and has accumulated countless wealth and honors. However, the world only sees my beauty, but does not know my pain."

"In order to open up new trade routes, my ancestors once led the fleet to the South China Sea seven times. However, in the unknown sea shrouded by dark clouds, the fleet led by my ancestors disappeared mysteriously. Later, the merchant ships passing by saw large broken pieces floating on the sea. Only then did we know that the fleet had been completely wiped out."

"In order to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of our ancestors, the family sent a large number of fleets to explore, but in the end they never returned. When it comes to my generation, when I retire, I will also personally sail a boat to investigate. This is our family's rule ."

Manager Xiao obviously didn't want to die, and there was fear in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I once asked the emperor for help, and the emperor told me that there is a dark place where the light of the gods cannot shine. I want to know, what exactly is that place?"

Prince Solstice is just like the legend. Not only does he have great talents and strategies, but he also seems to know everything. He believes that he can ask for some valuable information.

"That sea of ​​death is called the Dark Sea."

Su Yu's tone became slightly serious.

In that place, even he would be afraid of three points.

"Some people call the place where monsters gather together Chaos. If there was no Chaos, where would the Demons come from? That sea area is the birthplace of Chaos. After the War between Gods and Demons, all the surviving Demon Gods from the Teyvat Continent gathered there, and it was indeed full of danger. . The ancestors of your family are really courageous. Even the Seven Gods are unwilling to set foot there, but they insist on going to die."

"Dark beyond the sea?" Tian Jixing murmured, trying to remember the name, "Following His Highness's teachings, our family's rules should be revised, alas."

But Tianjixing could see that Prince Winter obviously knew more information about the Dark Sea.

But he knew that was enough.

In fact, he was right. According to the information Su Yu currently has, the dark outer sea is not only the place where the demons gathered after the demon-god war. As early as after the First Throne Phanes came to the Teyvat Continent, the Seven Elements Dragon King The oldest group of elemental creatures who were defeated and unwilling to surrender to Phanes finally entered the Dark Sea.

The actual space outside the dark sea will be much larger than imagined...

Tianshuxing, Yaoguangxing and Tianjixing all asked questions one after another. Kaiyangxing, the big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, was naturally unwilling to give up this golden opportunity.

The Prince of Winter is so close before his eyes, he is almost like the emperor descending to earth in person, knowing everything and being omnipotent.

"To be honest, Your Highness, although our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce controls most of Liyue's cloth and clothing business, our clothing trade has become increasingly difficult in the past two years. Apart from selling raw materials such as cloth, Liyue's clothing does not seem to be as good as before. It’s favored by others.”

“There’s no need to beat around the bush, it’s okay to just say what you have to say.”

The big shopkeeper of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce said with a sad face: "Then I'll tell you directly, Your Highness. In the past, Zhi Dong was our big customer. Every spring, dozens of ships would arrive to buy large quantities of clothing and clothing."

"But in the past two years, our clothing trade with Zhidong has dropped very fast. So much so that today, Zhidong only buys cloth, not finished clothing."

"I asked several Zhidong merchants, but they were all vague and seemed to be deliberately concealing it. Your Highness is here today, so I dare to ask you what is the cause. Has the quality of our Liyue clothing declined?"

Su Yu replied: "Zhi Dong is not good at producing clothing. No matter the equipment or technology, it is not as good as Liyue. About two years ago, I provided a business opportunity for the businessmen, so they invested a lot of money to develop clothing, which led to This led to the rapid development of the textile industry in Zhidong, thus replacing imports from Liyue."

"Your Highness, what kind of business opportunity is this?"

The big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is all ears.

Su Yu coughed lightly and said, "This business opportunity...is related to Miss Tianquan Xing Ningguang and Miss Yuheng Xing Keqing."

Ningguang and Keqing suddenly blinked their beautiful eyes.

The two women suddenly thought of a possibility:

Wouldn't the prince let those merchants imitate the skirts he wore and sell them at will during the winter? !

Chapter 77 The House of Tolerance

Under Ningguang's signal, Keqing put forward this idea without hesitation.

"You are right. However, this business opportunity is not only related to you two, but also to people from several other countries."

Su Yu said frankly: "The clothing market in Zhidong has been monopolized by low-cost products from Liyue. We can call it dumping. The clothing manufacturers in Zhidong are worried about not making profits and are unwilling to develop the textile industry. I am here After inspecting and surveying the market, we convened a symposium with practitioners in the clothing industry."

Hearing this, the big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had to admire Prince Zhidong's methods. A noble man like him would actually go to the front line to conduct market research.

"Dumping" is a new word recently spread from Zhidong. It is said that the inventor is Prince Zhidong.

To some extent, Liyue does constitute dumping.

"At the symposium, I gave them a suggestion: learn and learn from the clothing styles of other six countries to design Zhidong's local clothing, and combined with the financial support of the fools, only in this way can we revitalize Zhidong's clothing industry. Compete with Liyue’s clothing.”

"However, some businessmen are eager for quick success and directly adopt the simple and crude method of imitation. The first batch to be imitated are the clothing styles worn by women who are widely loved by the people in the six countries."

"Miss Ningguang and Keqing, Mondstadt's Amber and Yola, Inazuma's Yao Shenzi and Shenli Linghua, Sumeru's Nilu and Falushan, and Linnet, one of the Fontaine twins, These beauties are the first targets of imitation.”

Ningguang and Keqing have never lacked suitors. Both of them are very popular in Liyue and abroad.

However, when they heard Prince Zhidong calling them "beauties", a faint, satisfied smile appeared on the faces of the two girls.

The emperor once commented on the two of them as "beauties", but his mood now was similar to that of that time.

"As expected, the first batch of clothes produced were sold out by the girls in less than three days. Especially young girls, they really like Miss Keqing's black silk and purple gauze strapless dress. They even Also learn your double pony tail and cat ears hairstyle.”

Keqing curled her lips first.

However, thinking that the girls in the winter would be happy because of this, she no longer felt troubled.

Confident human beings and beautiful human beings should be the common spiritual outlook of people in the era of "man-governed".

"Everything in the world is bustling for profit; everything in the world is bustling for profit. Taking advantage of this opportunity of imitation, merchants have tasted the sweetness and began to invest heavily in building factories and developing the local textile industry. The face of the clothing industry in winter , thus taking on a new look.”

The big shopkeeper of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce suddenly said: "So that's it, no wonder we have to purchase goods from Liyue. But I will not give up the winter market. We have the best designers, and we will definitely be able to design better-looking clothes. Compete with the garment factories of Solstice.”

Su Yu appreciated his attitude and said, "Very good. Healthy competition can promote mutual progress and development of both parties."

At this time, Ningguang smiled and said: "Your Highness, in this case, our clothing factory in Liyue will also imitate the clothing of your eleven executives and sell it."

Ningguang can sit in the position of Tianquan Star, so he naturally needs to protect Liyue's interests at all times.

"Anything is fine. If the people like the costumes of Prince Solstice, I don't mind if they imitate them."

Ning Guang shook his head quickly: "I dare not. His Highness is already very generous."

"However, I want to remind you to pay attention to something."

Having said this, Su Yu's eyes fell on Ning Guang and Ke Qing again.

"An unpleasant incident happened while I was imitating your costumes in Zhi Dong. I hope you will learn from this."

Ningguang said solemnly: "Your Highness, please speak."

"The clothing merchants of Solstice sold the clothes imitating yours to the 'House of Tolerance'."

Ningguang was a little confused after hearing this, and asked the big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce: "What is the 'House of Tolerance'?"

Kaiyangxing had a strange look on his face, lowered his voice, and explained in a low voice: "The romantic place is equivalent to our brothel in Liyue."

Ning Guang thought of those fireworks ladies, wearing her own clothes, pleasing the guests who came to have fun. A flash of shyness flashed across her face, and then she said with some grievance: "Your Highness, you are bullying people in the winter."

Seeing that Ning Guang seemed angry and coquettish, everyone started laughing.

Situations like this are rare.

Su Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Later, I discovered that this situation was getting worse, so I issued a decree strictly prohibiting entertainment venues such as 'Tolerance House' from wearing clothes that imitate yours. Violators will be severely punished."

"Zhidong's clothing industry is still in the low-level imitation stage. As the technology and level improve, I may completely prohibit them from continuing to imitate in the future."

Hearing this, Ning Guang took a reassurance.

On the other hand, Ke Qing, who was on the side, suddenly asked: "Your Highness, have you been to the House of Tolerance?"

Keqing didn't realize the impoliteness.

Her personality is such that whatever comes to her mind, she will blurt it out.

There was silence for a moment in Qunyu Pavilion.
