The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

"Plus, there are many tourists on weekdays, so why don't you expand Liyue Port as well?"

"There is a very nice plain on Guili Plain."

"With the large number of workers in the Chasm and the addition of cement, we should be able to build a simple city in no time."

"Also, the road to Shimen also needs to be repaired. Otherwise, Mondstadt will only be able to bring in supplies by sea."

"Even on the Xumi side, there are layers of rocks and abysses blocking it. If we want to transport materials, we have to use sea transportation. If we can also open up land transportation, then the port of Liyue Harbor will be able to relieve a lot of pressure."

"The population pressure in Liyue Harbor is so huge. Let's quickly build some infrastructure. Let's set a small goal and build a new city."

Chapter 72 Come on!

Although Keqing kept asking questions along the way, Eluta often felt a headache when answering them.

However, Ying and Paimon were having a great time shopping, because no matter what they came across along the way, Keqing would pay for it as long as they wanted it. She completely became a wallet for the three of them.

Although Eluta and Ying still had a lot of Mora, Xiangling gave the three of them very generous wages during the few days they helped at Xiangling's house.

It’s more than enough for the two of them and Paimon to cover all expenses for today.

However, having someone pay the bill for you is a completely different feeling. Keqing's generous "bookkeeping" made Paimeng feel Keqing's heroic spirit.

Keqing is very concerned about building a new city.

Therefore, along the way, he kept asking Eluta about the city's construction.

And Eluta also made some designs based on the planning of modern cities and discussed them with Keqing.

It has to be said that as an ancient city with a history of 3,700 years, Liyue Harbor, which is not particularly large, has a very outstanding architectural planning.

Especially the underground drainage system, in Eluta's opinion, it is probably better planned than the modern world she lives in.

Three thousand seven hundred years ago, during the thousand-year-long war between demons and gods, Guiliji fell and Guizhong died. The people of Liyue then moved to the south side of Tianheng Mountain and established Liyue Harbor.

This is a city full of history.

Every brick and tile of it was built together by all the Liyue people three thousand seven hundred years ago until now.

Including now, the port expansion of Liyue Harbor is also a kind of establishment of this city.

Three thousand seven hundred years ago, people built this city under the guidance of Emperor Rock King, and in the past three thousand seven hundred years, people have been using their wisdom to maintain this city.

Now, Keqing will build a new city and lead the people that this city cannot accommodate to the new city.

possible..

This can be considered the beginning of a new chapter.

With the arrival of travelers, the world will be renewed.

While shopping with Eluta, Keqing can be said to have gained a lot. This gain was not only from Eluta, but also from the many suggestions she received.

Although Eluta's suggestions for development are also important, what is more important to Keqing is that among all of Eluta's suggestions, she has not heard Eluta mention even one word about the Emperor and the Immortals.

Things like this made Keqing firm in her idea of ​​rule by man.

You know, I have raised the issue of population load at the Seven Stars meeting, but I got a negative answer.

Basically, they were all like "Let's ask the Emperor for instructions" and "Let's see what the Emperor says". Basically, they were all like this.

Keqing felt helpless about the fact that everyone could only think of the Emperor when they encountered problems.

In short, the phrase 'the ancestral laws cannot be changed' directly rejected all of Keqing's ideas.

If she wanted to say something, she would definitely be accused of being disrespectful to the emperor.

Obviously, she also admired the Emperor very much.

But it was precisely because of this that she wanted the people of Liyue to be free from the protection of the Emperor and make them more independent.

Although she went to Mondstadt this time, Keqing met the sloppy Mondstadt people and felt very unhappy about it.

But Keqing feels that the people of Mondstadt are more independent than the people of Liyue.

Without gods, Mondstadt can solve any problems on his own instead of relying on gods.

Of course, Keqing is referring to the Knights of Favonius here.

They really are doing a good job of defending Mondstadt.

As for Liyue, the Thousand Rock Army is naturally also guarding Liyue seriously.

only..

If the naive ones in Mondstadt are the ordinary citizens, then the naive ones in Liyue are the high-level officials in charge of Liyue, that is, the Seven Stars of Liyue.

If a demon suddenly appeared now and served as a test.

Mond has already given a very good answer. The Knights of Favonius solved the crisis of the Wind Dragon without relying on gods.

Although they rely on travelers from another world, this is also their strength.

As for Liyue...

If the devil suddenly descends, the first thing that the people of Liyue would probably think of is not how to resist the devil, but rather a naive idea like "It's okay, we have the Emperor to protect us."

Ordinary people can be independent and self-reliant, and the Thousand Winds Army can protect the people, but the Seven Stars of Liyue have absolutely no intention of dealing with the demon god.

Keqing can be very sure of this.

Therefore, at this moment, Keqing was determined in her inner thoughts. No matter how the other seven stars of Liyue objected, she would express her own ideas this time.

It doesn't matter even if all the seven stars don't support her.

If no one supports her, then she can just do it on her own, although she is not particularly good at business.

However, given her family background, she naturally has a certain amount of power, so even if she does not use the power of the Seven Stars, she is able to carry out her own plans.

She wants to complete her ideas through herself.

First, let her build a city, a city like Qingce Village, which is a certain distance away from Liyue Harbor.

It just so happened that Eluta's suggestion to her was to build a new city on Guiliyuan. Guiliyuan and Liyue Harbor were separated by the towering Tianheng Mountain.

The prosperity of Liyue Port relies on the largest port in Nativat.

Although even if a port is built on Guiliyuan side, it will not be as prosperous as Liyue Port.

But it doesn’t matter. What she wants to do is not to seize Liyue Harbor’s business, but to ease the population pressure in Liyue Harbor.

Through her actions, she proved that even without the Emperor, even without the permission of everyone in the Seven Stars of Liyue, she could solve the problems in Liyue.

before.

Keqing just wants to prove that Liyue can survive well even without the Emperor, but she doesn't know how to act or how to prove it.

But now, the expansion of Mond gave her inspiration, and Eluta's advice gave her a plan for action.

Now that she has the idea and plan, and she has the ability to act, let's start taking action.

from now on.

···

For most of the day, Keqing just took Eluta and Ying for a long walk around Chihu Rock and did not go to Feiyun Slope.

Although it would be very bad to leave now, Keqing could no longer wait and wanted to start implementing her plan.

only. . .

I just got a lot from Eluta, and now it's not good to leave like this...

Eluta saw the embarrassment on Keqing's face, based on their communication along the way and his own understanding of Keqing.

Eluta was still very clear about Keqing's current thoughts.

In response, Eluta smiled and said, "Keqing, come on, I hope you can rebuild a brand new city, so take action now. Ying and I are going to Feiyunpo and Heyu Teahouse to listen to storytelling and watch opera."

Hearing what Eluta said, Keqing was relieved and said to Eluta with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm so sorry, I clearly said that I would take you to have a good tour of Liyue, but now..."

"In that case, why don't you let me introduce Liyue to these two travelers? I think I know a lot about Crimson Cloud Slope."

After Keqing finished speaking, a deep and elegant voice sounded.

Chapter 73: Zhongli: Account Recorded on Keqing's Account

“I wonder if you two... three would be willing to let me be your tour guide and take you around Liyue Harbor?” Zhongli walked towards them at this time.

Zhongli walked with his hands behind his back in a very steady manner, like an elegant young man. The calm expression on his face made people feel his steady temperament.

After hearing the voice, Keqing turned around and saw that it was Zhongli. Her eyes lit up. "It's Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall. If it's you, then you are more suitable for the job of tour guide than me."

Having said that, Keqing turned around and prepared to introduce Eluta and Ying, "This is Mr. Zhongli, the guest of Wangsheng Hall."

"Although I am one of the Seven Stars of Liyue and know everything about Liyue, Mr. Zhongli knows everything about Liyue better than I do."

"Mr. Zhongli is a man of great learning and talent, well-versed in both ancient and modern times. Although he looks very young, Mr. Zhongli's knowledge is much deeper than that of an ordinary old scholar."

"I don't think anyone is more knowledgeable about Liyue's customs than Mr. Zhongli. Letting Mr. Zhongli introduce Liyue to you will definitely be better than me."

Keqing looked at Eluta and Ying expectantly.

Eluta and Ying looked at each other, and then Eluta said to Keqing, "Then let Mr. Zhongli be our tour guide and lead us to visit Liyue Harbor. And I think Mr. Zhongli must have something he wants to ask us, so he recommended himself."

Hearing Eluta's words, Zhongli nodded and said, "Indeed, after communicating with my old friend in Mondstadt, I have a strong interest in the two visitors from another world. It would be great if I could communicate with you and answer some of my doubts."

"I also have some questions for Mr. Zhongli. Let's treat this as a signing of a contract. You lead us on a tour today and answer some questions I want to know. In exchange, I will also answer all the questions you raise, Mr. Zhongli."

Eluta looked at Zhongli sincerely.

This Rock King came to me, obviously he had figured out something from my reaction when I saw him yesterday, especially when he mentioned Mond’s old friend…

As for Wendy, she naturally wouldn't hold back on her affairs, so now that Zhongli had come to her, it would be best for her to just come clean so that they could have a good chat.

Zhongli nodded after hearing what Eluta said, "Signing a contract? That's the way it should be."

Keqing was listening to the conversation between Eluta and Zhongli. She blinked and was surprised. "I didn't expect you two knew each other. If that's the case, I'll leave first."

"As an apology and report, if you have any problems in the future, please feel free to come to me. At the same time, all your expenses today will be charged to my account. Mr. Zhongli, please don't be polite. These are my important friends. Please lead them well and have fun in Liyue."

"No problem." Zhongli said calmly.

"Well, see you next time." After saying that, Keqing turned and left decisively.

Watching Keqing leave, Eluta blinked, looked at Zhongli and asked, "Come to think of it, why didn't I see Hu Tao?"

"Hall Master Hu is at Wuwang Slope and will need to stay there for another night. He will not be able to come back until tomorrow. However, since I need to look after Wangsheng Hall, Hall Master Hu asked me to come back early."

Zhongli explained.

"Is that so..." Eluta nodded.

If nothing unexpected happened, Hu Tao asked Zhongli to come back here first. This should have been a decision made a few minutes ago, and Zhongli went straight back to Liyue Harbor after leaving Wuwang Slope.

Just to chat with her.

"In that case, let's talk while we walk?" Eluta said to Zhongli.

"Well, let me lead the way. Since you agreed, I will take you to tour Liyue first. The Summoning Immortal Ceremony is coming soon, and the people of Liyue are very happy. In the past few days, everyone from the Yunhan Society will be performing at the Heyu Teahouse. Don't miss it."

As he spoke, Zhongli put his hands behind his back and walked towards Feiyunpo.

Eluta and Ying followed with Paimon.

······

The place where you can eat at Huyan is full of the human touch of Liyue, with small stalls on the streets, street snacks in the alleys, Chunxiang Kiln in the alleys, the famous forge Hanfeng Ironware, and Xiangling's Wanmin Hall.

There is also the money-sucking Jie Cui Hang, the Yan Shang Tea House which just changed owners, and the various residential houses.

The entire Chihuyan is full of the breath of life, and this is where most people live.

As for Feiyunpo, it appears more elegant than Chihuyan.

In addition to the wooden bridge connecting Chihuyan and Feiyunpo, there is the relatively hidden Wangsheng Hall on the side of the road.

The houses on the roadside are all filled with expensive shops.

For example, the celebrity Sai Xigu Residence and the like.

These are all places where you can spend a lot of money, and they are places where you can spend money openly. In addition to Wanmin Hall, the two most famous restaurants in Liyue are also here, Xinyuexuan and Liuliting, and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is also here.

Moreover, there are relatively few residential houses here because the land price here is very high.
