Chapter 16 Find Zhongli in case of indecision

"What are they building? Why is there so much movement this time?"

"I don't know. What kind of arena do you hear it is? It's just that it looks different from the arena I know?"

In the teahouse next to Chihu Rock, many people were sitting there drinking tea and resting, looking at the large-scale construction projects on the other side of the river with some confusion.

A big man on the side saw them talking about this, sat down with a tea bowl and said.

"Not only that, Liyue College is also expanding, but you can't see it here. Didn't you look at the previous recruitment information of the General Affairs Department?"

"Hey, don't talk about it. The dock is very busy every day. I only have some time to rest now."

"That's right. It's thanks to Mr. Heng that we, the common people at the bottom, are very busy. We can't compare with those gentlemen who go shopping and walking around every day."

"Not really. Although we are just ordinary people, at least we live comfortably. Recently, from time to time on the pier, there are those big men who go bankrupt and jump into the sea. It's really miserable."

"Oh? Tell me in detail..."

Hearing that there was a new topic, many people gathered around and started chatting.

The perspective is raised, on the platform of Qunyu Pavilion.

Ningguang and Keqing looked at Liyue Harbor below their feet, their expressions a little ugly.

In the Seven Star Conference that just ended, they encountered greater resistance than before.

No one objected to Keqing leading people to dig the canal, but they couldn't agree on the issue of investment and fund-raising and Qixing's own expenses.

Ningguang, Keqing and Ouyang all agreed that with the lessons learned from Liyue Port, merchants from Liyue could no longer be involved in the canal this time.

The previous major renovation of Liyue Port, after the intervention of capital, has not yet fully resolved the consequences. How can it be possible for businessmen to get involved in the canal again?

There are seven Mora stars, but digging a canal requires a huge amount of Mora, and the rate of return is not high. More importantly, the capital cannot be recovered in the short term.

This caused conflicts within Qixing. After three talks, there was no progress at all. Now no one can convince the other party.

The two were silent for a long time before Ning Guang spoke.

"It's not enough to keep dragging it on like this. Why don't we suggest that Gan Yu report it to the emperor?"

"That's all it can do, but..."

"But what?"

Seeing Ke Qing's thinking look, Ning Guang asked a little strangely.

"Now that things are at this stage, reporting to the emperor is the best way. Do you have any other methods?"

"No, Ouyang also said before that we can report it directly to the emperor. It's just that I was worried about being rejected by the emperor, so I refused the proposal. However, he later sent a message saying that he could give this plan to Zhongli, the guest at the Hall of Rebirth. If he

If there are no problems after reading it, you will have a high chance of being adopted by the emperor. So, do you know Mr. Zhongli?"

Zhongli?

After hearing this answer, Ning Guang looked at the horizon and thought.

"I'm not very familiar with it. I just heard that he is a very knowledgeable person, but I didn't hear that he also knows this... Since Ouyang suggested it, why don't you give it a try?"

"That's all it can do."

After talking about the business, Ning Guang asked again.

"After so many days, Ouyang still hasn't gotten better?"

"I don't know. Why would you ask me?"

Looking at Keqing's confused eyes, Ningguang stopped asking any more questions, but today's seven-star meeting made her more urgent in needing Ouyang's appointment.

Everyone in Qixing is for Liyue, there is no problem on this point.

However, there are always various differences and contradictions in the handling of many things, which greatly reduces the efficiency of handling problems.

The source of this disagreement and contradiction is very unreasonable but very reasonable - the emperor is respected.

Ningguang and Keqing want people to rule, but others in the Seven Stars don't think so.

Among them, Tianshu Star had the strongest reaction.

"No matter what, we must let Ouyang take office as Tianshu as soon as possible. We are too passive now. If he is here, we will have much fewer obstacles."

After hearing Ningguang's words, Keqing said "hmm" and said nothing more.

There was originally an edict from the emperor, but she didn't resist it at all, so she didn't say anything more.

Soon, Keqing left Qunyu Pavilion and returned to the office of Yiyan Palace to start working.

On the pier, on an inconspicuous boat, Tianshu Xing was fishing quietly in the corner of this busy pier like an ordinary old man.

Different from his quiet movements, his current mood is very complicated.

Over the past five years, many things have fallen silent or been slowly unearthed.

Five years ago, Xuanmen gathered people to make trouble, and Qixing's inaction was Tianshu's selfishness.

He is a staunch "royalist" and believes that everything in Liyue was brought about by the emperor, and the idea of ​​​​government by man proposed by Keqing at that time was simply a rebellion in his opinion.

Therefore, when Hua Shilong made such a big noise, he just watched the fire from the other side, and was even prepared to add fuel to the flames and remove Yuhengxing.

The reason supporting his argument is simple: such a big thing happened, but the emperor never came forward from the beginning to the end.

This shows that the emperor supports him.

But now, five years later, he is a little shaken.

Not to mention that a crisis was resolved, Yuheng received even higher support from the public.

More importantly, the emperor personally issued an edict five years ago for Ouyang to take up the post of Seven Stars.

Although this order did not specify who was to be replaced, Tianshu is the only one among the seven stars who is the oldest now, so the result is self-evident.

Uncle Tian looked at the sea quietly, his eyes gradually losing focus.

In the afternoon, the secretary working in Yuehai Pavilion got off work, and Gan Yu, who was walking among the crowd, did not stay to work overtime.

She wanted to take a walk in Liyue Harbor to relax.

This morning's Seven Stars meeting made her even more worried.

At a certain moment, Gan Yuruo raised her head and looked at the door of your mansion. She saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing there.

White hair and red rope...Shen He?

There were some guesses in his mind, but seeing that the other party had entered your mansion, Gan Yu left with doubts.

Your study room.

Ouyang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the deserted Shen He and felt a little stunned in his heart.

We haven’t seen each other for five years. It’s bigger and more fierce.

After sitting down, Shen He spoke straight to the point.

"Master asked me to stay at your house to protect you and bring you some things."

As he said that, he took out something from the space and placed it on the open space.

"Thank you for your work..."

Ouyang, who didn't take it seriously at first, was stunned when he saw what Shen He brought.

What appeared in the open space in front of me was a wheelchair.

The overall shape is a bit different from an ordinary wheelchair, but you can roughly tell that it is a wheelchair.

When Ouyang was looking at the wheelchair, Shen He walked up to him, picked him up without asking and put him into the new wheelchair.

During the whole process, Ouyang looked at her ferocious eyes with a confused expression, and did not dare to say "I will do it myself".

"This is an immortal magic weapon made by the master in his spare time. You can try it yourself."

"Oh well."

Ouyang obediently began to explore this new "toy".
