Niwa looked at him amusedly, "Aren't you at odds with the Knights? What are you doing so leisurely?"
Di Luke looked away, "I just hope that the possible partners in the future will be more reliable..."
Dan Yu didn't bother to care about this arrogant and awkward person, turned to Bai Shu and said, "Sir, Captain Qin is waiting for us downstairs."
Bai Shu nodded, picked up a stack of manuscript paper from the desk, "Let's go now."
----------
"The situation is like this. On the whole, to control the epidemic, we still need more medicines, especially Qingxin. This kind of medicine only grows on the top of the mountains in Liyue, and the output is very small."
In the meeting room of the Knights Order, Bai Shu finished his speech, nodded to the participants, and sat down.
"Utensils for decontamination, medicines for epidemic prevention, and other supplies... Liyue is the only place that can raise so many supplies in a short period of time." Qin frowned.
Niwa agreed: "That's right, that's why I emphasized the need to immediately send troops to clear the trade route to Liyue."
Qin nodded, "It's no problem for the Knights to send troops, but the funds for the transaction..."
Di Luke suddenly said: "The wine cellar of Chenxi Winery has enough stocks, and it should be able to last for a while... Those captives among the fools have to ask Zhiwinter to pay a good price."
Niwa smiled and got up, and distributed a stack of manuscript papers to everyone, "I have a plan."
Soon, there were whispers in the conference room.
"Apply for a long-term loan from the Liyue Land Development Bank in the name of the Zephyr Knights?"
"Invite Liyue Land Development Bank to settle in Mond City?"
"The collection and transportation of materials is outsourced to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Hall of Death, and the Legenfind family?"
"Sign a long-term parity supply contract for bulk commodities?"
Di Luke is the most business-savvy among them, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Can Liyue agree to this plan? They can obviously raise the price and earn more Mora..."
Xing Qiu raised his hand to take his question.He led the first batch of transport teams from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to arrive yesterday, and his face was full of exhaustion.
"Master Di Luke is underestimating us Liyue people by saying that. Liyue people pay attention to long-term vision when doing business. If they can obtain long-term and stable business routes, they can avoid many unnecessary risks, which is comparable to short-term It’s far more important to earn a few cents more profit.”
Qin said with some hesitation: "Although that is the case, can Liyue agree to this kind of agreement?"
Xingqiu smiled at her confidently, "Actually, brother Dan made this plan more than ten days ago, and I have submitted it to Lord Ningguang for review, and Lord Ningguang has agreed in principle."
All the people in the room were stunned, and they all looked at Niu Yu, thinking that the new guardian was thinking too far. You must know that even the problem of Fengmolong hadn't been solved more than ten days ago, he had already started to think about it. Questions after the Civil War!
Niu Yu nodded in response to everyone's astonished eyes and said: "This is also to buy as much time as possible. The most urgent task is to send envoys to Liyue and Lord Ningguang to finalize the details as soon as possible, and then start the implementation as soon as possible."
Qin made a decisive decision, "I'll go there personally, the work of the Knights will be handed over to Lord Niwa for the time being..."
Niwa waved his hands in fright, "My body can't hold it up, let Kaya hold it up first!"
Qin Wei: "But I'm going to take Kaiya with me..."
"Let me go with you, I know more about business matters." Di Luke took the initiative to answer.
"But senior, your body..."
"It's okay, just don't let me do it on the road."
Seeing that the matter was basically finalized, Bai Shu raised his hand again and said, "Then there is one more problem. The amount of medicinal materials such as Qingxin may be insufficient. It is hard to say whether the entire Liyue Port can produce so many."
Niwa nodded, "This matter may be difficult to solve in the short term, but it cannot be left unsolved. I have an idea...Mr. Abedo, can you invite your disciple, Miss Sugar, to work in Liyue for a while?"
Abedo understood immediately, "You want Granose to go to Liyue to study how to use alchemy to transform Qingxin's species? This is indeed her strong point, and I will tell her."
Seeing that all the problems were solved, Qin said happily: "Then it's settled! Everyone, let us work together to bring a new life to Mond!"
Chapter 81 Freshmen
Although Qin really wanted to leave for Liyue on the same day to finalize the package agreement as quickly as possible, but as the head of the West Wind Knights, she still had tons of things to arrange before she left.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the celebration ceremony the next day.
Originally, Qin thought it would be a waste of time to hold such a ceremony, but Niwa persuaded her to change her mind.
"After such a catastrophe, the Mond people need such a ceremony to regain their confidence."
After several days of cleaning, the traces of the war on Fengshen Square were almost removed.
Tens of thousands of residents of Mond City gathered here, and even the roof where the Aeolus statue could be seen nearby was full of people.
Qin presided over the ceremony as the acting head of the Zephyr Knights and awarded medals to the meritorious knights.
The knights all held their heads high and proudly accepted their honor.The dead soldiers were also represented by family members or comrades-in-arms, which added a bit of sadness to the ceremony.
Bennett, Fischer and other members of the Adventurer's Association who participated in the defense of the Westwind Church won the Medal of Evidence of Freedom for civilians.
The happiest one was Noelle, she finally got her wish and was personally awarded by Qin, becoming an official knight of the Zephyr Knights.
The most unexpected one was Amber, who was promoted to captain when she was less than 20 years old, and was responsible for leading the reconstituted reconnaissance knight team.This kind of achievement is almost comparable to that of Di Luke, a rare super genius in the history of the Knights.
When Qin put the captain's badge on her chest, Amber was so excited that she almost cried on the spot.
Ke Lai, who was watching the ceremony, was even more excited than her, and his palms were red, and Niwa almost couldn't hold her back.
At the end of the ceremony, the main event was on Niwa.
Qin personally awarded him an honor in the name of acting head, officially announcing the change of Dongfeng Guardian.So far, all the guardians of the four winds have been assumed by humans, and mythical creatures have completely withdrawn from the historical stage of Mond.
In addition to the title of "Dragon of the East Wind", Niwa also received the title of knight.
In the Zephyr Knights, titled knight is a very rare honor.
For example, Keli is called the Spark Knight, and Yula is called the Spray Knight. These are not real "titles", but just a nickname for comrades in arms or the public, which cannot be passed down.
For thousands of years, there have been only two titled knights of the West Wind Knights, namely the "Dandelion Knight (Lion Tooth Knight)" and "Northern Wind Knight" who take turns serving as the head of the order.
Regarding the name of the title, most people in the Knights believed that according to Niwa's heroic deeds in subduing Twarin, the title should be set as "Wind Dragon Knight" or "Dragon Subduing Knight", but Niwa refused.
The former made him feel like he had some kind of super-friendship with Twalin, while the latter made his scalp feel chilly...
The final title chosen was the relatively simple "Dongfeng Knight".
Originally, Qin wanted to invite Niwa to take up the position of deputy head of the Knights, but Niwa refused very firmly.He is not even interested in the position of Liyue Qixing, how could he go to Mond to promote the spirit of internationalism...
In the end, his position was set as the general counsel of the Zephyr Knights.
As a consultant, just ask if you can, he can still accept this.
Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people, he accepted the hurriedly made Dongfeng Knight badge - a dragon head coat of arms.
Hundreds of knights raised their ceremonial swords and cheered for the Dongfeng knights. Everyone could vaguely feel that Mond's new life seemed to have really arrived.
----------
The banquet after the ceremony was held in the old camp outside the city.
The survivors who have gone through the test of life and death drank wine and enjoyed the joy of victory.
The freshly baked Captain Amber became the target of everyone's siege, even if she drank completely non-alcoholic fruit juice, she was in a daze.
But Niwa, the Dongfeng knight, everyone knew that he directly pierced his heart to draw blood in order to save Di Luke and Kelai. At this time, his body was so weak that he was panting when he walked, so no one dared to drink him.
Niwa was naturally so happy.
He shuttled around the camp with a glass of juice, and he only had to take a sip to toast with everyone, and he didn't finish half of the glass for an hour.
Suddenly, he saw Yura sitting alone in the corner of the camp.
This heroic lady knight is now alone, her figure is full of loneliness, drinking cup after cup of dull wine alone.
Seeing Niwa approaching, Yura stood up unsteadily and wanted to salute, but almost tripped over the wine barrel.
Niwa quickly helped her up.
The two sat down side by side, watching the lively crowd in silence for a long time.
"I want to give up the surname Lawrence." Yura said suddenly.
Niwa glanced at her, "It's not Lawrence, what is your last name?"
"It doesn't matter, it can be with your last name."
"Heh, I'm so moved by what you said... Do you still want to change your nationality?"
After another period of silence, Niwa spoke again: "I don't suggest you do this."
Yula raised her dim drunken eyes to look at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Why? Do you think this is a sign of cowardice? You don't even know what this surname stands for!"
Niwa took a sip of the juice calmly, and said quietly: "Let me tell you a story. In an ancient country, there was an ancient family. This family has dedicated itself to serving the country for generations, and has been married to the royal family for a long time. They are respected from top to bottom.”
"Until there was a generation of kings who were incompetent, and the family leaders of that generation were extremely capable. So under the strong demand of the people of the whole country, the family leaders of that generation took over the crown and replaced the royal family as the ruler."
Having said that, he looked at Yura, "What do you think about the future of that kingdom?"
Yula curled her lips, "A leader recognized by everyone will naturally make the country prosper."
Niwa shook his head with a smile, "No, the result is just the opposite. The family leader's rule made life difficult for the whole country. In the end, he was overthrown by the people after only 14 years of ruling the country, and he was killed by the angry people."
Yula couldn't help but widen her eyes, and looked at him suspiciously after a while, "I haven't read about this in any country's history books."
"Just treat it as a story from another world... The key question is, do you understand what I mean?"
"not understand well."
Niwa looked directly into Yura's eyes with deep eyes, "Most ordinary people are short-sighted and blind, and the Mond people are even more... simple than ordinary people, even believing that blood can inherit glory and sin... If it is true, The Lawrence family would not have been corrupt back then."
"This rebellion is likely to make this naive idea deeply rooted in the hearts of the Mond people... You must know that when everyone trusts one person too much, the result is the same as everyone hates one person too much."
Yula shook her dizzy head and thought for a while before recalling, "Are you worried about Qin?"
Niwa said solemnly: "I believe in Qin, but who can guarantee that Gunnhild's blood will not deteriorate like Lawrence? If the Mond people are used to believing Gunnhild just like they are used to hating Lawrence, then the next Lawrence is probably Gunnhild."
Yula snorted softly and turned her face away, "What does this have to do with me!"
"I hope you will persevere, win back the glory and respect for Lawrence, let the Mond people understand that blood is not everything, and sinners can also gain new life!"
"Since that fellow Barbatos won't let us 'order' his people, then we can only 'educate' them."
"Changing Dongfeng Guardian will not bring new life to Mond, but changing the brain is almost the same!"
Niwa stood up, patted Yura's shoulder lightly, and then left slowly, leaving her alone looking at the beating bonfire for a long time without saying a word.
Chapter 82 Walnut, Are You Crossing Stages?
After the meritorious service is rewarded, it is reasonable to have to be punished.All of Mond also awaits the trial of the noble rebels.
However, the news came out the next day that Captain Qin needed to visit Liyue urgently to discuss the purchase of supplies to fight against the plague and evil spirits.
The Mond people were quite clear about it, knowing that saving people was more important than killing people, and no one jumped out to make any comments.
In fact, this is also Niwa's suggestion, let Qin put aside the rebels' affairs under the pretext of visiting, so as to cool down the public's emotions.
As for the rebels, in fact, Qin had already convened the decision-making level of the Knights to discuss it.
Treason is a felony, at least the culprit should be executed, but Niwa still hopes to make an exception and change to lifelong hard labor.
Heinz deserved his death, and if it was someone else, he would have absolutely no hesitation.It's just that seeing Yula's haggard look recently made him feel a little distressed for no reason-on the surface he said he wanted to break the law, but it was her biological father after all.
In fact, Qin also has similar considerations.After all, the old aristocrats have been wiped out, and they are not likely to pose any real threat to the extent that they are unpopular.
After the two discussed, the reason they put forward to the Knights was that Mond was in urgent need of manpower, and it was best not to waste labor at will.
Deep down in his heart, Niwa also has a glimmer of hope, that is, through labor reform, a group of people in the old aristocrats can be completely repented, and it can also make the Mond people realize that everyone can be reformed and redeemed.
Just like when the Republic was founded, a meritorious "military academy" subdued countless old soldiers, and only then did the people build the motherland with one heart.
Qin and Niwa's opinions are very important in Mond. The Knights discussed and discussed within the Knights, but they couldn't make up their minds, so they finally decided to drag all the prisoners out of labor reform first, and then we can talk about it.
With Qin leading a mission to visit Liyue, Mond's reconstruction work begins to roll out in full swing.
The West Wind Knights dispatched in batches to wipe out the rioting monsters, and the militiamen escorted the prisoners to repair the damaged facilities.
Bai Shu took the doctor who came with him, and worked with the local doctor of Mond to study the general-purpose anti-epidemic medicine.
The 25 ceremonies supported by the Hall of Resurrection came in groups of two, together with a nun from the West Wind Church, and formed [-] work teams. They began to clean up pollution sources and impart knowledge on isolating pollution.
Everyone's actions followed the plan made in advance, except Hall Master Hu started playing cards not according to the rules again.
----------
Headquarters of the Knights, Office of the Commander.
After hearing Walnut's plan, Niwa couldn't help picking his ears.
