For this reason, Keqing will put in extraordinary efforts in her work no matter what she does, striving to do the best she can.

For example, she was responsible for the land management of Liyue. To this end, she traveled all over Liyue and memorized every place in order to do the best land management work.

In terms of results, Keqing has done a good job.

But in the eyes of good friends, what I did was just stupid.

Keqing thought for a moment, then asked, "Qin An, what would you do if you were Yuhengxing?"

Qin An did not hesitate: "It's very simple. Build Liyue's own framework and improve the details. As for the rest, there is actually no better way. Unless the Geo King himself does not want to do it, otherwise the overall framework of Liyue will not change now."

"The people of Liyue just need to continue to improve the underlying framework."

Liyue's development is actually in an ideal state. Its current prosperity is entirely built on the Geo King alone. Plus, he is both a saint king and a god, so there is no need to worry about his lifespan.

Again, unless he himself is unwilling to manage Liyue, Liyue will not have any major problems in the future and will always continue to move forward under the framework of theocracy.

The changes that the Liyue Seven Stars seek are undoubtedly another kind of divine rule.

Generally speaking, this kind of abnormal development is prone to setbacks, but the single tree that Liyue relies on is so strong that even if an accident occurs, the Rock Emperor can suppress the uncontrollable factors.

“So how do we improve the underlying framework?”

Qin An didn't notice that at this time Che Qing's attitude was already asking for advice on work matters.

"It's not that simple. We need to establish a formal household registration system and allocate land according to population. We can also plan urban construction carefully. For example, urban construction can be subdivided a little bit. There's no need to squeeze commercial and living areas together. But these things are too complicated and I don't really understand them."

Qin An is still very self-aware. He doesn't know much about Liyue in this area, so it's okay for him to give a few suggestions, but he is still completely in the dark when it comes to actually doing it.

But Keqing is different. She is in charge of this aspect, and what Qin An said is exactly what Keqing needs.

Moreover, this knowledge was something she had never thought about before.

Although Liyue has been built to be prosperous enough, there has been no planning for the details, and everything has been carried out completely without the opinions of the person in charge.

If we follow the method Qin An said... then wouldn't the construction of Liyue be taken to a higher level?

This is what he just said about building the underlying framework!

Keqing gained some insights and kept Qin An's words firmly in her heart.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Keqing suddenly stood up. She did not continue asking questions because she had already seen a new path before her.

Qin'an is the beacon of this road.

Keqing came to the stall cart, packed up her things, and pushed it back to the rented house.

Qin An also helped to tidy up the tables and chairs.

The house was very clean. It was not Qin An's first time here, so he was not unfamiliar with the place.

Keqing came to the kitchen and saw the processed fish meat there. She prepared it skillfully.

It is not convenient to show the power of elemental control in front of Qin An, but there are not so many concerns in the kitchen.

Keqing controlled the lightning element and began to burn from the inside.

Soon, the fish was fried until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Since it looked good in advance, no seasoning was needed.

This is Keqing's specialty...if it can be considered a dish.

This is a unique skill she has acquired from years of walking in the wild. It's not that Keqing doesn't want to cook dinner herself to entertain Qin An. Even though she usually works part-time selling beef offal, Keqing is not very proficient in cooking.

When entertaining Qin An, she subconsciously used her best cooking skills.

Serve with remaining spicy soup.

Although simple, it is delicious.

"smell good!"

When Keqing brought the grilled fish, Qin An couldn't help swallowing.

"Did you do this?"

Qin An couldn't wait to take a bite and found that the fish was crispy and delicious, with the aroma of being marinated in advance.

I couldn't stop eating and finished a whole grilled fish in just a few bites.

He ate most of the plate of grilled fish.

"I've never seen you take this out before! Is this a new dish you've developed recently? I'm sure you'll come to support me every day in the future."

Qin An said contentedly after putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing Qin An's high evaluation of the grilled fish, Keqing couldn't help but smile as she sat there.

"You taught me so many things today, this is a reward."

"Hey, we are brothers, why are you being so polite? We will be members of the same organization from now on. It doesn't matter if we work hard to change the future order of Liyue."

Qin An quietly replaced the word "future" with "subversion" in his mind.

Chapter 10: Ningguang's Doubts

The next morning.

Ningguang walked gracefully to the door of the office hall.

I found that my secretary was already helping me organize the documents.

Ningguang stopped and asked, "Bai Wen, how do you feel about your current job?"

Baiwen, who was packing up documents, was very surprised when he heard Ningguang's question. He didn't know why Lady Ningguang would suddenly ask such a question.

But he still answered honestly: "Very happy, as long as I can help Lady Ningguang, I feel very happy! Moreover, I can learn different knowledge every day."

Ningguang smiled when she heard this.

"Don't you think the working hours are too long?"

Ningguang thought of the words that Rock King suddenly left her yesterday, and she couldn't help but start thinking about it.

The seven stars and seven gates of Liyue all have one thing in common.

work overtime.

Ningguang herself was also working overtime.

Each of the Seven Stars of Liyue takes their work very seriously and they put in far more effort than ordinary people. Under the influence of this environment, the overall working atmosphere in Liyue Harbor is one of hard work.

But after receiving the instructions from Geo Emperor yesterday, Ningguang suddenly realized a problem.

Do ordinary Liyue citizens also like to work overtime?

Ningguang did not disturb the secretary's tidying work. She went outside, enjoying the breeze and admiring the Liyue Harbor in the morning sun.

Beneath the prosperous scene is busyness.

The vendors, food vendors, and workers have all gotten up.

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

It looks like a beautiful picture, but is there something hidden beneath this beautiful surface that she can't see normally?

If it weren't for the Emperor's advice yesterday, Ningguang wouldn't have thought about this kind of question.

Is it fair for ordinary workers to have too much work to do? Can they get the corresponding salary increase when they put in extra work?

Ningguang herself is the largest businessman in Liyue Harbor, so she knows the personalities of businessmen very well.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. Under this premise, Ningguang thought for a long time and found that no matter which answer was given, it would not be friendly to Liyue Pingming.

This is also the reality. In previous surveys, there have been a few contradictory issues regarding working hours.

However, Ningguang had not thought about this problem carefully before. Although each generation of Tianquanxing has been improving relevant laws and regulations, but thinking back on it.

The relationship between labor input and remuneration needs to be carefully considered.

Ningguang did not consult Baiwen's opinion.

She is his confidante, and Ningguang is well aware of the secretaries' admiration for her. They only feel happy working for her and don't feel tired at all.

But the people of Liyue are different. Most of them work for a living, and their input and reward should be proportional. Is this really the case in reality?

Ningguang called another secretary over, whispered a few words to him, then turned back to look at the information posted on the wall.

The latest business secrets in Liyue Harbor are stored here, and Ningguang will make timely adjustments based on the intelligence at hand.

It was just a normal working time.

But soon his men came to report.

Keqing actually came to the Jade Pavilion? This surprised Ningguang.

After Keqing walked in, Ningguang asked in surprise, "What brings you to the Jade Pavilion at this time?"

Ningguang's words were equivalent to a joke. Before, Keqing somewhat disagreed with Ningguang's political views. At the same time, Ningguang also felt that Keqing's personality and temper would lead to setbacks.

But generally speaking, they are 'comrades' on the same boat.

Even if there is something to discuss with each other, Keqing will choose to come over during lunch break.

Now, Ningguang was very curious about coming to the Jade Pavilion early in the morning. What was the reason that changed Keqing's habit?

"I'm too lazy to elaborate on the polite words. Here are some questions I have summarized."

Keqing ignored Ningguang's joke and focused on her work.

The above are some of her insights that she wrote after staying up late at night on the issue of workers' treatment.

After Ningguang read it carefully, her expression turned serious.

Why are the things Keqing said similar to what the Emperor mentioned?

"What do you think?"

Keqing asked when she saw Ningguang didn't say anything.

Under normal circumstances, the two of them rarely exchange political views like this.

Keqing came to the door early this morning, and the suggestions she put forward and the matters discussed by the Emperor were so highly imaginative.

The coincidence made Ningguang very curious.

She understood the Emperor's approach. Since the Emperor made this suggestion in private, he would not tell anyone else. In other words, Keqing's idea was consistent with the Emperor's?
