The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

Therefore, Keqing should be the most familiar with Liyue’s market now, and her understanding of the people allows Keqing to understand them very well.

What does the food, clothing, housing and transportation that Eluta mentioned at this time represent?

To Keqing, these four simple words mean a very complete policy to protect people's livelihood. As long as these four words are implemented well, the lives of the people of Liyue will be very good.

At this time, Keqing hurriedly picked up the brush and wrote down the four words that Eluta said on the paper.

As Yuhengxing, her jurisdiction over Liyue includes all the lands of Liyue.

Housing and transportation are closely related to her work, and clothing and food are also inseparable from the scope of her work, so they are closely related.

Eluta obviously wanted to give a comprehensive explanation of these things now, and she had to record them all.

Keqing was over there, looking at Eluta eagerly, expecting Eluta to continue speaking.

And Eluta directly satisfied Keqing's curiosity.

"In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Liyue now basically guarantees the basic food, clothing, housing and transportation for the people, and the people's lives are also very good."

"But if Liyue wants to develop, it must be able to continue to improve, because these things are like human desires. As long as you want, you can improve them without limit."

"With Liyue's economic strength, we can actually continue to improve this aspect of the experience."

"For example, your stockings, Keqing. Currently, most people in Liyue cannot afford to wear them. If we can allow most people to wear stockings, and even wear one piece at a time, then the economic level of Liyue will surely be able to rise to a higher level."

Keqing was recording quickly, but when she heard what Eluta said, her pretty face turned red. She looked up and glared at Eluta in reproach, then continued to record with her head down.

"Of course, this is a commercial matter, and with Liyue's current productivity, it is impossible to make stockings for all the people in Liyue to wear."

"So, improving productivity is the most important thing for Liyue right now. Liyue has a large population, probably the largest among the seven nations. After all, Liyue has the protection of the Emperor, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"A large population is not a burden to Liyue, although it may seem to you that the population of Liyue Harbor is so large that it is saturated or even overloaded, and has become a burden."

"However, population is the most valuable resource. As long as there are people, Liyue will have enough confidence to do whatever it wants."

"For example, Mondstadt has a sparse population. If they want to rebuild the city, they are short of a lot of people, and they need to borrow from Liyue."

"A large population is a very considerable wealth."

"But... despite having such a huge wealth, Liyue did not make use of it. Instead, it just gave a sum of money to 300,000 miners and then let them fend for themselves."

"To be honest, I find it a little hard to understand."

Eluta shook his head.

Keqing also frowned.

Before problems arose in the Chasm, the large number of miners could be said to have brought enormous wealth to Liyue.

However, in recent years, the minerals in the Stratum Chasm have become less and less, and the minerals produced have also become much less. In addition, the black mud that has appeared in the Stratum Chasm has made the entire Stratum Chasm extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the abyss of rock was closed.

The miners also lost their jobs.

Although most of the miners have found suitable jobs in the past two years or so, for most of them, it is only a temporary job.

They have always been thinking about returning to the abyss and doing their work as miners.

Keqing was very clear about this, because she brought a team of miners to Mondstadt to provide human resources assistance.

The team she leads consists of miners who are unable to adapt to other jobs.

actually..

It doesn't mean that I can't adapt to other jobs.

It is simply because Liyue today cannot provide a large number of jobs. Liyue's development has reached a bottleneck.

In the eyes of Keqing and the others, they have indeed reached a bottleneck. They don't know how to develop Liyue now, because even though Liyue has lost the Geo King, it is still the most powerful among the seven countries.

But in Eluta's eyes, Liyue can develop better in other areas besides its strength.

Eluta continued.

"Make full use of Liyue's population and improve Liyue's productivity. Although Liyue is very good now, it can become even better."

"Alchemy is a good thing. Elemental force is an energy that is everywhere in Teyvat, but it is a bit of a waste that only the holder of the Eye of God can use it."

"Most of the people in Liyue have only received the most basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

"So in terms of development, we must at least improve the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that everyone can have enough to eat."

"Liyue is very rich, but the wealth gap between people is huge."

"Many people simply cannot find a job suitable for them."

"And Keqing, the position you are in charge of in Liyue actually has enormous power."

"In my world, there is a saying that is true."

“If you want to be rich, build roads first.”

"So, we said before that we would build a new city and transfer the excess population of Liyue Harbor to the new city."

"Everything starts from here."

"Keqing, your mission is important."

Chapter 159: Make Use of the Population

I talked to Keqing about a lot of random things.

Originally, Eluta was not a good politician, and as for the development of Liyue, he actually didn't know where to start.

So, let’s start by solving the problem of excess population in Liyue Harbor.

And provide jobs to many Liyue people.

Building a brand new city should be enough to deal with the miners coming out of the Abyss.

Keqing, upon hearing Eluta's proposal, began to think about it seriously.

"But...what should we do about the Abyss? The Abyss is still very dangerous. It is not a good thing to let the danger remain in Liyue, especially now that the Emperor has passed away. We cannot let the Abyss continue to be dangerous."

Keqing asked.

Eluta shrugged indifferently.

"Aren't there still the Fatui? Hasn't Liyue always been cooperating with the Fatui? There must be quite a few Fatui in the Stratum Chasm right now."

"So let the Fatui experience the dangers of the Chasm. No matter what, the Fatui are always stronger than the miners in Liyue."

"Didn't Ningguang negotiate with the lady before? Although I don't know what they negotiated about, the Fatui must have been badly tricked by Ningguang."

"And now, Liyue can give some benefits to Winter Solstice and let the Fatui go to the Stratum Chasm to explore. In this way, Liyue and Winter Solstice can continue to cooperate and ease the tense atmosphere between the two countries."

Hearing what Eluta said, Keqing frowned even more tightly.

"But... Although the Layered Rock Abyss is dangerous, it still contains many secrets. Just like the black mud in the Layered Rock Abyss now, we don't know what's going on. There must be something hidden in it."

"If the Fatui knew about these things, if they knew what the black mud was, then it is unknown whether they would make use of it."

Eluta blinked and said, "Regarding this point, I can actually tell you directly that the Black Mud Fatui cannot be used. They dare not use them. So don't worry, the Layered Abyss is indeed very dangerous."

"There are indeed many secrets hidden there, but those secrets have nothing to do with Liyue. Or it would be better for Liyue not to be exposed to those secrets."

What is the black mud in the abyss?

The power of the abyss? Or the curse of heaven? Or even the power from outside the world, such as Honkai energy.

Eluta wasn't particularly clear either.

But one thing is certain, no matter what the black mud is, it is not a good thing. If you can avoid touching it, it is better not to touch it.

"Eluta, do you know what that black mud is?" Keqing was surprised by Eluta's performance at this moment, because Eluta had never been to the Abyss, but looking at Eluta's attitude and the meaning of his words.

It is obvious that Eluta has some understanding of the Abyss.

"Well~~ Just take it as what the Emperor told me. There is an ancient relic in the Layered Abyss. It is a relic that is even older than the Demon God War."

"In this world, there are many taboos that cannot be touched."

"The gentle gods will grant humans whatever they desire, but if humans touch taboos, the gods will directly bring down a natural disaster of destruction."

"So, let the Fatui touch those things. Anyway, what they are doing now is almost the same as touching the taboo. As for Liyue, it is better to stay away from it."

After listening to Eluta's words, Keqing was silent for a while.

She could tell that the gentle god that Eluta was talking about was probably not a god like Emperor Geo.

However, if the god mentioned by Eluta is not the Seven Rulings of the Earth, then who is he talking about?

Keqing looked at Eluta, who smiled and said, "Don't ask me, and don't care about this. Although I can say it without any care, I don't think Keqing would want a huge hole to appear in Liyue like in the Abyss."

When Keqing heard this, she was suddenly startled.

As a typical Liyue person, Keqing is naturally very clear about what the cavity in the Chasm that Eluta mentioned is.

To be honest, if it weren't for that hole, Liyue would not have been able to dig out such a large space under the Layered Abyss.

And now.

The meaning revealed in Eluta's words is already very clear. That hole was not formed naturally, but was caused by human power.

Well, no matter who is the being that can cause that kind of effect, it is not someone that Liyue can afford to offend at the moment.

After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to calm down a little, Keqing looked at Eluta and said seriously.

"I understand. I will have a serious discussion with Ningguang about this matter later. However, we in Liyue cannot ignore the things in the Stratum Abyss, so we will send people in later, but the number of people may not be large."

The purpose of reopening the Chasm is to increase employment opportunities for the people of Liyue.

Now that Eluta has proposed the idea of ​​building a new city, Keqing will seriously implement this matter later.

Therefore, there is basically no need to worry about the jobs of the people of Liyue.

only. . .

"So, Eluta, what should we do after the city is built?" Keqing asked.

What Shi Qing asked at this time was the most important thing.

Building cities is only a stopgap measure. Although it can provide many jobs, they will eventually be full. After all, you can’t just build as many cities as you want.

Without population, it will be useless to build more cities.

"After that, it will be easy. We will develop Liyue's technology with the new city as the center."

Eluta said so.

"Technology?" Keqing raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Eluta looked at Keqing.

"Please make good use of your alchemy table that has been left there to absorb the dust. Don't leave it there exposed to the wind and sun any longer."

“Food, clothing, shelter and transportation.”

"We'll try to make sure everyone in Liyue can wear clothes of the same quality as the one you're wearing, Keqing. Is that a problem?"

"As for food, Liyue's food is now imported, so try to grow more food. As for housing, you can take care of it yourself. As for transportation, the same old saying applies. If you want to be rich, you must first pave the way."

"Alchemy is a very important knowledge. Don't underestimate it."

"Although Mond's alchemy is not very prominent, they have an alchemist who is the best in the world."

"There is something called 'Void Terminal' in Xumi, which is connected to the World Tree. There is a lot of knowledge that can be read."

"Fontaine has made various developments in alchemical tools."

"On the Winter side, the Fatui soldiers are holding weapons that can harness elemental forces."

"Only Inazuma is in dire straits and can't catch up with Liyue. Other countries are developing on their own."

"Liyue also needs its own specialties. After all, all the ores will be mined out one day."

"So, as the richest country in Teyvat, we should develop more other specialty products. Liyue's large population is Liyue's greatest wealth. We should make good use of all the people of Liyue."

Chapter 160 Yan Fei: Hey, what are you doing?

【Keqing!!】

【I hate you! ! ! 】

On the Yujing Terrace, Ying, beside Grandma Ping, seemed to hear a familiar shout.

"That sounds like Eluta's voice. It sounds like Eluta is in a bad situation. Should we go over and see if we can help?"
