Feeling a little irritated, Ouyang turned to look at Shen He.
"Can you go for a walk with me?"
"good."
Shen He said as he pushed the wheelchair out of the study.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Just take a walk outside, uh... go to school."
I didn't think about going anywhere at first, I just wanted to walk around casually, mainly to change my mood and not pick any place.
But suddenly I remembered that I hadn’t properly communicated with Yan Fei about school matters. I had sent some notes to each other before, and I don’t know how it went.
This is related to the future planning. It is not good to be a completely hands-off shopkeeper, so I changed my mind and went there to have a look.
At the same time, I laughed at myself, thinking that after becoming Tianshu, I might not have much private time.
Rights mean obligations...
Out the door, heading towards the school.
The sky is just right today, and it is already October. According to the experience of the previous life, it is the season of winter that is about to begin, but there is not a trace of coolness in Liyue Harbor.
Strangely enough, I don't know if it's a characteristic of Teyvat or for other reasons. Liyue Port can hardly feel the changes of the four seasons throughout the year, and the same is true for Qingce Village.
Along the way, seeing Yujing Terrace empty of people as always, Ouyang asked casually: "Shen He, is there snow in Aozang Mountain?"
"Minlin boundaries occasionally appear, but even if they do, they will disappear the next day."
"It's such a pity that Liyue is so big that we can't even have a snowball fight."
"what is that?"
"Nothing, a little game that can only be played in the snow."
Originally, Ouyang wanted to explain, but suddenly he remembered some things from his past life, which made his mood even worse, so he obviously heard Shen He's curiosity, but he still chose to end the topic.
Without Lin Zi Jue, Ouyang must always be vigilant about his emotions, otherwise those negative emotions will always pop up from time to time.
It is common for ordinary people to have various emotions and lose control of their emotions occasionally.
But Ouyang understands what kind of moral person he is. If he is not controlled, he will easily be disturbed by his emotions when making decisions.
Originally, when I was guarding your family, I couldn't act too arbitrarily, let alone now that I'm the lord of heaven.
One wrong decision will cause a disaster that Ouyang does not want to see.
He knows the essence of the problem, which is the sense of loss of power.
There is also the desire for power that comes from suddenly rising to a higher position and gaining authority, and that unreal sense of dislocation of "who else in the world would be better than me?"
But people are just so weird. They know where the problem is, but they can't solve it for a while.
He looked up at the sun in the sky and tightened his hands in his sleeves.
It should take a few more years... I'll just get used to it...
Ouyang knew in his heart that this state would last for a long time, so he still had a long way to "reconcile" with himself.
Eat at Huyan, in a small restaurant.
Mao Shi, the owner of this small restaurant, did not greet the diners coming and going today. Instead, he stood at the door abnormally, looking in the direction of the school on the other side in a daze.
Many diners who noticed this were a little curious.
This is so unlike the other person's character.
A familiar diner came to him curiously and joked.
"Hey, Boss Mao, have you changed your gender today? Why don't you ask for business?"
Hearing the voice, Mao Shi frowned and looked at the visitor. Seeing that he was familiar, the frown between his brows faded a little, but the sad look was still on his face. He didn't even have a smile when facing the guest.
"Oh, it's you. Isn't there someone in the store to greet you? I'm thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about with such a sad face? That you don't care about your business anymore? This isn't like your style?"
"Hey, please stop teasing me. I'm thinking about giving it a try."
"What's wrong?"
As if he finally found someone to talk to, Mao Shi started to talk with a grimace as if he was pouring beans.
"Do you know about the Strata Abyss? Then yesterday, a lot of ore merchants couldn't receive their goods. I heard some customers in my store saying that this time things are a bit big, and the ore prices have increased so much.
Maybe the prices of other commodities in Liyue Port will also skyrocket.
This was nothing at first. There were tens of thousands more mouths in the school in the past two days, and they didn't pay attention to the food prices here, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
But before I went to bed last night, I suddenly remembered that the Qianyan Army passed by Chihuyan every day these days, transporting a lot of supplies towards the Lisha suburb. This is what I saw with my own eyes. Many of them were vegetables and grains. That long
The queue seemed to be endless. So I was thinking, will prices really go up? I'm not sure."
After finishing a long series of words, Mao Shi looked at the visitor, as if he wanted to seek some advice, and looked at the other person expectantly.
"Now I'm thinking about stocking up on some food in advance. If there is a shortage of supplies and the price rises, my small business will go bankrupt. But I'm afraid that if I stock up too much, I won't be able to eat it all here.
Even if it breaks, it won’t work. Even if the price doesn’t increase, wouldn’t it be worth the loss? So I’m worried!”
After listening patiently to the end, the visitor unceremoniously pointed out some of Mao Shi's hidden thoughts.
"Haha, Boss Mao, do you still want to stock up on vegetables and wait for the prices to increase to sell them and make a profit? You are not being kind!"
"Oh, this, isn't this just a matter of convenience? How can you say it's unkind!"
After being exposed ruthlessly, Mao Shi didn't have enough confidence to speak, but he knew that the other party worked on the dock all year round. Although he was an ordinary person, he had much better information than him.
Therefore, he was not worried and looked at the other person and continued to ask: "Old Chen, tell me, should I stock up on some of this?"
"Whether you like to stock up or not, I'm just reminding you that it's okay to prepare some appropriately. If you have too much, I'm afraid you'll jump into the sea tomorrow."
"Oh? What should I say? What news do you have?"
Mao Shi looked at Lao Chen eagerly, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he immediately said with understanding.
"Okay, Lao Chen, tell me, I'll treat you to this meal today!"
When the dock worker named Lao Chen saw that the fire was almost done, he didn't show off. He patted Mao Shi on the shoulder and whispered.
"I'm not lying to you. There is no exact information, but there is one thing that most people in Liyue Port didn't pay attention to. That is, while the people from Huishan Hall were buying all kinds of ores a few days ago, Yinyuan Hall
The people also quietly collected a lot of goods from foreign merchants and fishermen at the dock, including vegetables and fruits. Do you understand?"
"Uh... I don't understand."
"You're so smart that you still want to imitate others in buying low and selling high?"
Looking at Mao Shi who was just looking at him blankly, Lao Chen continued angrily.
"Do you know the news about the foreign businessmen in the General Affairs Department queuing up to buy ore today? The price of ore on the market has not risen anymore, and according to the news, it will fall. So how can you guarantee that other supplies such as food will be available during this period?
, will the General Affairs Department do the same?"
After saying this, Mao Shi finally came to his senses.
Yes, it can be seen from the ore matter that Qixing has made preparations this time. If he does not keep it all, if he really hoards it, he will most likely lose everything!
Then I really want to jump into the sea!
In view of the good reputation Qixing has always had, Mao Shi quite believed in this guess.
Therefore, he stopped worrying about those periods and thanked Lao Chen.
"Hey! I have to thank you very much, brother. Lao Chen, come on, let me buy you a drink!"
"It's okay to have a meal, let's have a drink next time. There's still work to do on the dock in the afternoon."
The two of them walked towards the restaurant. Faced with Mao Shi's enthusiasm, Lao Chen refused at first, and then said: "Boss Mao, I can see it. Just keep your business as big as your restaurant and run it well. Don't go."
Think about those crooked ways. I think about what happened this time, only the biggest businessmen in Liyue Port can make some gains from Qixing. We ordinary people can just live our lives well."
"Yes, you're right! Let's eat, right? I'll add an extra dish for you! Let's go!" Guwai
An incident between ordinary people ended, Lao Chen got a free lunch with an uncertain guess, and Mao Shi eliminated his worries through Lao Chen's advice.
Everyone is happy.
Also in a good mood was Mao Caigong who lived on Yujingtai.
He had smelled a different smell a few days ago when people from Huishan Hall came to collect ore.
So he was cautious at that time and did not sell all the ore in stock to the Huishan Hall people, but only sold a small part to give Huishan Hall face.
All the remaining ore is stored in the warehouse untouched.
At the same time, he sent his servants around to find out the news.
When he learned that people from Huishan Hall were buying up ore in Liyue Port, Mao Caigong acted decisively and bought the ore from other merchants at a high price before the ore was sold out in the market.
The premium is not much, only 40% higher than the market price.
And when the news about the Strata Rock Abyss spread, he sat happily in Heyu Teahouse for the whole day. He was in a good mood and even rewarded the tea doctor with a reward of 50,000 molas.
Furthermore, he has been in a good mood these past few days.
Especially when the price of ore tripled on the market, he didn't even leave the house, fearing that he couldn't control his expression and accidentally exposed himself, letting the businessmen and friends in their circle get some clues.
The reason why he was so careful was because Mao Caigong knew that their family had an opportunity to soar into the sky!
He was originally in the ore business, but his way of doing business was a little different.
After he had accumulated a certain amount of money at home, he began to find another way, first low-key and eating a large amount of ore on the market, and when the price went up, he would slowly ship it out and earn the price difference.
So although he has his own huge mining team, the real wealth that allows him to almost stand among the top wealthy people in Liyue Port was earned through this method.
What's more coincidental is that before the people from Huishan Hall came to buy the ore, he happened to have secretly purchased a large amount of ore on the market.
Therefore, as long as this batch of ore is sold, it does not need to be tripled, or even doubled, and his profit this time will surpass Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. As for the Zhu family, the Gui family and the like, they are just chickens and dogs.
That’s all.
At that time, I, Mr. Maocai, will be the most valuable man living in Yujingtai!
The ambition in his heart made him particularly excited these days. Sitting in the hall, looking at his own house, he had already begun to think about a new mansion.
Your house is nice. Not only is it bigger, but I have been eyeing the Guanhai Pavilion for a long time.
With his eyes smiling, Mao Caigong's mind was already in the sky.
He has no grudge against your family, he just likes the house. If he wants to come, he will hit it with mola three times or five times. How can the head of your family not be tempted?
You know, your mansion is the largest mansion in Yujingtai, and it is a symbol of status. For this, Mao Caigong is willing to spend money!
Ha ha ha ha--
Thinking of the wonderful thing, Maocai laughed heartily!
On the other side, on the Qunyu Pavilion.
Ning Guang read the letter sent by Ouyang, looked at Dadalia standing there, and asked in surprise.
"This letter says that you agree to send the Fools to investigate the Layer Rock Abyss, and are willing to solve the problem after the results come out? In the end, you will share the information with Liyue, and Liyue won't have to pay the price?"
"Yes."
"Also, the Adventurer Branch in Liyue is managed by people sent from Liyue, and you only need one or two people from the Winter Solstice Country to participate?"
"Yes."
"Finally, all businesses of Beiguo Bank outside Liyue Port must be evaluated by the General Affairs Department?"
"Yes."
Are you really an ambassador for Solstice?
Ning Guang stopped talking and lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the moment of shock.
This is incredible!
What is the difference between this and betraying the country?
Ouyang, how did you do this?
At that moment, Ningguang couldn't help but ask Dadalia: What is your relationship with Ouyang?
Fortunately, her mind was still clear and she didn't really ask.
She knew very well that Ouyang and the fools had irreconcilable conflicts, but now everything was suppressed by their respective gods.
So, how did Ouyang do this?!!
Unlike Ouyang who had just taken office, he still didn’t understand many things.
As Tianquan, she knew that Liyue and Zhidong had a military alliance contract.
The terms of the contract clearly stated that when Liyue was threatened, Zhidong was obliged to send troops to assist Liyue at Liyue's request.
So she wasn't worried at all about Ouyang's doubts.
The Layer Rock Abyss needs to be explored. Now that Zhi Dong has taken over, it can alleviate a lot of pressure on Liyue - the lives of Qianyan soldiers are also life!
Now the other party is willing to give full power and does not ask for anything in return. This is simply not the style of fools.
But now that the truth has appeared, Ningguang has no reason not to agree.
With the contract from the gods, Ningguang is not afraid that the other party will not share or conceal information.
As for the Adventurer branch being managed by people from Liyue, it is just an addendum. The focus of the matter is the last one.
Northland Bank's business will be evaluated by the General Services Division.
In layman's terms, Zhi Dong traveled thousands of miles to Liyue Port to open a bank. While preparing a large amount of mora, he took the initiative to hand over the control of the bank to Liyue in disguise.
The same thing, such incredible things still happened.
For the above three items, if Ningguang had not carefully checked the identity of the other party, and Zhidong had also sent the message of sending an envoy earlier, she would really not be able to believe that such a magical thing could actually happen!
The atmosphere became quiet. Dadalia, who was standing opposite Ningguang, kept a professional smile on his face. Of course, he understood that these three concessions were a bit advantageous to Liyue.
But everything has not reached the bottom line of winter, it just seems to be a loss.
The power of the abyss appears in the giant layered rock abyss. Due to the contract, Zhidong is obliged to help.
It doesn't matter who manages the Adventurer Chapter. It's enough for Catherine to be the receptionist.
As for Beiguo Bank, there is not much business outside Liyue Port. The losses only appear to be large, but in fact they are all in the hands of Zhi Dong.
All this is far from the bottom line!
And his real purpose is to stay in Liyue. Only by staying here can he continue to carry out the tasks assigned to him by Her Majesty the Queen.
Therefore, as long as Liyuefang nods in agreement, it means that his initial goal has been achieved.
Looking at Ningguang standing opposite, Dadalia smiled and said: "This is Zhidong's sincerity and Liyue's heavenly right. Do you agree?"
"With such generous terms, of course I agree."
Ning Guang said it with absolute certainty, but everything amplified the problem in his mind countless times.
