The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

At this time, the wages that Mond paid to the workers were already the same as the daily income of the workers at the dock.

This is a very high salary in the entire continent of Teyvat.

But the people in Mond receive such high salaries but do not have much work to do every day. If they are not given necessary work targets, the workers will slack off at work and will not be prepared to experience any fatigue.

If they were assigned a task, the Mond people would not do a job that would make them tired, even if they did not earn the money.

Obviously, Mondstadt is their city, and everyone is happy to see the city become better, and will contribute to it to the best of their ability.

But in Keqing's view, the casual life of the Mond people is a complete waste of their lives. They have a lot of time, but they waste it in the tavern.

The work that could have been done could not be completed due to my free and easy personality.

In other words, this is not Liyue, and the people of Mondstadt are not under her jurisdiction.

otherwise..

She must do some ideological work for these lazy Mond people.

However, seeing the people of Mondstadt like this, Keqing also understood why Jean, as the acting leader, would entrust Liyue to build the city.

The billions of dollars in compensation from Zhidong does sound like a lot, and it is also a lot for Mond.

But Keqing knew very well that these seemingly large numbers of Mora might be used up in a flash if they were not well planned.

If someone on Liyue did the same as Jean, Keqing would have warned them, but she came to Mondstadt to make money.

So it doesn't matter.

Although Mondstadt and Liyue have a good relationship, there is no need for her to give advice to Mondstadt.

but. . .

It's okay to mention it briefly during the cooperation, because Keqing really wants this building material called "cement".

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Liyue workers working hard, Keqing nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at the Mond Tavern, there was a green boy who had been staying up all night and was drunk in the corner of the roadside.

Keqing sighed, but at the same time, she felt even more proud of the hard work of her people.

My family members are all hardworking people. I am supervising here only because Mond's building this time is different from previous designs.

Just to prevent making mistakes.

Now that the basic framework is up, all we need to do next is pour in the building material called concrete, which is a mixture of cement, sand and stone.

As for pouring concrete, our people have become very skilled in the past two days.

The perfect time is now.

You can go find Qin and discuss the cement sales transaction.

Chapter 5 New Cooperation

Inside the office of the leader of the Knights of the Four Winds.

Qin was calculating Mond's expenses in recent days. Rubbing her forehead, Qin felt a headache.

Just as Keqing was sure, Qin was worried at this moment because she had almost spent all of the 1 billion Mora she had just obtained.

Yes...

When Qin was making the plan with Eluta, she hadn't thought about how much it would cost.

I always feel that the huge sum of 3 billion Mora can not only renovate Mondstadt, but also bring huge development to Mondstadt.

But who would have thought...

In order to quickly renovate Mondstadt and resume previous trade with other countries.

As a result, the originally planned labor costs increased several times, although the returns were also very good.

But the expenses are also rising proportionally.

Mora, who had received his first payment in winter, had already spent about 90% of it.

In fact, apart from labor costs, the biggest expense is material cost.

Thanks to the favor of Lord Barbatos, although Mondstadt is full of mountains, there is also a lot of good land.

Otherwise, Mond's wine industry would not be so developed and famous throughout the continent of Teyvat.

Mond's fruit wine is very famous and the fruits grown there are also excellent.

Compared to growing grains, growing fruits is actually more difficult, but the fruits grown in Mond are truly excellent in the entire continent.

Only excellent fruits can produce excellent and delicious fruit wine. Although minerals are relatively rare, they are not absent.

Qin got some special books from Eluta, and books on civil engineering were part of them.

She couldn't understand the formula of cement, but there would be absolutely no problem if she gave it to Albedo and Sugar.

Although Albedo is not here now, the method of making cement is not difficult. Not to mention sugar, even Timaeus can simply change the formula into a building material specific to Teyvat that can be made using alchemy.

Thus.

Although Mondstadt's mountains are not as many as Liyue Mountains, there are still quite a few.

Normally, these mountains are very dangerous for adventurers, because there might be hillbillies with bows and crossbows who could shoot arrows at you.

Therefore, the adventurers of Mondstadt don't particularly like these steep mountains.

And for something as new as cement, these mountains were truly a treasure trove.

As long as there are a large amount of rocks, they can be directly synthesized into cement using some special alchemical potions.

But the problem is that although Mond has many mountains, mining is really troublesome, after all, Mond does not have a large number of miners.

Therefore, Qin invested a lot of money in the rock mining mission issued by the Adventurer's Association.

The high bounty attracted a large number of adventurers.

As the site of old Mondstadt, the area surrounding the Wind Dragon Ruins is all mountainous, making it a very good mining area.

Now a large number of adventurers are basically conducting expansionary mining operations around the Wind Dragon Ruins.

This is how Ying earned the money in the past two days.

Mond needs to be renovated, so a large amount of rocks is needed. There is a special transport team for transportation. The adventurers only need to use their own strength to knock down a large amount of rocks.

As adventurers, their strengths are naturally different. Some adventurers are very strong, while others are very weak.

But compared to ordinary people, adventurers are more or less powerful.

And Ying's strength makes him one of the best among adventurers.

The amount of rocks mined by one person is equivalent to that of a hundred people, and the speed is also very fast.

A lot of Mora can be earned in one day.

In addition to mining rocks, Ying also took on the task of protecting other adventurers and clearing out the monsters in the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Otherwise, Ying could earn even more.

···

The Adventurer's Association needs money, Liyue's engineering team needs money, and in addition to rocks, materials such as trees also need money.

Everything costs money...

"I have to think about how to make money, if Eluta is still here..."

At this moment, Qin couldn't help but think of Eluta, who could easily handle any situation.

So Qin quickly shook her head.

"Eluta has returned to his own world and has his own journey. I can't rely on Eluta for everything."

"But...how do I make money?" Qin stood up and walked towards the bookshelf beside her, ready to take a book about business in the world of Eluta.

See if you can get any inspiration.

Just as Qin stood up, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in..." Qin sat down again.

Then, the office door opened and Keqing walked into the office.

Seeing Keqing coming in, Qin's heart suddenly tightened. "Um, Ms. Keqing, is there anything I can help you with? If it's the labor fee for your engineering team, we should have already discussed it and it will be settled next month, right?"

Qin was a little afraid that Keqing would ask for money.

After hearing what Qin said, Keqing was a little surprised why Qin said this, but it didn't matter, as there were more important things to do now.

"Regarding our labor fee, just follow the discussion between you and Ningguang. I came here to establish a new deal with you, Mondstadt."

After hearing Keqing's words, Qin felt relieved, as long as it wasn't about money.

Although Mond still has some Mora in her hands, she cannot use it at will. When the second compensation from Zhidong arrives next month, she will be able to pay off the balance to Liyue.

"New deal?" Jean looked at Keqing with some confusion.

Mondstadt and Liyue have a very close cooperation, and she and Ningguang are good pen pals. Otherwise, they would not have borrowed Liyue's engineering team and also gave a Liyue Seven Stars to help manage the site.

Therefore, Qin was really confused about the new deal that Keqing mentioned.

"Regarding the material of cement, I wonder if you, Captain Qin, have any idea of ​​selling it. Whether it's the formula or the finished product, we in Liyue are in great need of it."

Keqing looked at Qiqi seriously and didn't talk about anything else in the negotiation.

If Ningguang saw her communicating like this, she would probably be lectured. Business communication is full of intrigue.

But Keqing didn't care.

Cement is something that Liyue needs very much.

"Selling cement?" Qin's expression was a little dazed, but a hint of clarity flashed through her mind.

And at this time.

Kaia's voice rang out from outside the room.

"Captain Qin, the Traveler and Miss Eluta are here."

Chapter 6 Yingying is unhappy

"Eluta and the Traveler!" When Jean heard Kaeya's voice, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

The traveler Ying is very powerful. Now Mond is in need of manpower everywhere. The existence of someone as powerful as Ying is naturally a very precious resource.

Not to mention Eluta.

Now Qin really wants to learn from Eluta and see if the cement business is feasible.

But Keqing frowned at this time.

The information Ningguang gave her about the two travelers from Mondstadt was not particularly detailed.

However, the compensation from Zhidong was obtained by the traveler named Eluta.

This alone is enough to make Liyue pay close attention to this traveler named Eluta.

At this time, the arrival of the two travelers made Keqing a little overwhelmed, because now she wanted to cooperate with Mondstadt.

Through her contact with Qiqi, Keqing was able to confirm that this acting team leader, who was only one or two years older than her, was very serious about her work, but was much inferior to Ningguang in terms of business methods.

In terms of the way they deal with various things, it can be said that they are very immature.

He is a very hard-working and serious worker, and is also good in management, but he is not a man of powerful means.

But this kind of thing is normal.

Everyone has their own strengths, just like Keqing herself, who is obviously not better than Ningguang in terms of business.

When it comes to doing things, I tend to appear too radical because of my personality.

But the acting leader in front of her was able to tactfully do things that she herself could not do. This was Qin's strength, but also her weakness.

She is suitable to be a deputy. If she wants to become like Ningguang, she still needs more training and growth.

It is precisely because of this that Keqing directly states her purpose even though she thinks her business negotiation skills are not good enough.

Because she was sure that the leader of the piano band would definitely seize this opportunity, and the two of them would negotiate a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship in a friendly environment.

But. . .

The arrival of Eluta, the legendary traveler who made Zhidong pay 3 billion Mora in compensation, made Keqing a little unsure.
