Chapter 44: Conversation with Ningguang, Ganyu wakes up

The previous chapter said that after Tianhe negotiated with Ningguang about the original new district construction plan and follow-up measures, the Bishui River management project, despite its own shortcomings, was more beneficial than harmful to Ningguang and the entire Liyue. However, after Tianhe finished talking with Ningguang, at Ningguang's invitation, he accepted the dinner at the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Because they had been negotiating for quite a long time, and it was already noon, Ningguang told the maids to serve the food. Although it felt a bit like a Hongmen Banquet to Tianhe, Ningguang wouldn't still be thinking about him.

Soon the food was on the table. Ningguang asked Tianhe, "How do you feel? Do you need anything else?" Tianhe looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and didn't know whether he should start eating directly, because he was the guest and Ningguang was the host, but his status was higher than Ningguang, but Tianhe always regarded people he knew as friends.

After Tianhe thought it through, he replied to Ningguang: "No, I don't like wasting food. Then Sister Ningguang, can you start eating?" Tianhe analyzed from the age point of view, he can indeed call her Sister Ningguang, and Ningguang also accepted the current title, but she would not be satisfied with it.

Ningguang also poured a glass of high-quality juice for Tianhe and one for herself. She was quite satisfied with this warm scene. After all, Tianhe was still a teenager, so she gracefully raised the cup in her hand and said softly to Tianhe: "Well, little brother Tianhe, happy cooperation in the future." "Well, sister Ningguang, happy cooperation." Although Tianhe didn't want to be called little, he would definitely prove that he was not little in the future. He raised the cup of juice in his hand and clinked glasses with Ningguang.

Ningguang and Tianhe quickly finished the dishes on the table. Well, the chef at the Qun Yu Pavilion was very careful in controlling the portions and had indeed made very thoughtful arrangements for the two of them. Perhaps there was also Ningguang's own intention in it.

But just when Tianhe and Ningguang were having dinner, Ganyu woke up. Let's go back a little bit in time, inside Dongtian's villa, "Huh, huh, well, I slept very comfortably today. Hey, where is this? Dongtian? I remember chatting with Tianhe before, and now I am here." Ganyu thought about what happened before she fainted, and vaguely remembered that when she fell, Tianhe helped her up.

Then, she was in this comfortable big bed. However, Ganyu sat on the bed and sensed her surroundings. It seemed that there were other women who had slept here. Ganyu didn't think much about it. She found that there was a map distribution of teleportation anchor points in her mind, and she could teleport at any time.

However, she did not teleport away immediately. Ganyu got up, carefully folded the quilt and placed it on the bedside, then saw a note left for her on the table. It roughly described what happened before and after Ganyu fell asleep, and how they had no choice but to decide to take Ganyu back to the cave. The note also enabled her to teleport so that she could return to Yujingtai at any time to deal with the large amount of documents that needed to be processed.

Of course, Tianhe also pointed out that Ganyu needs to combine work and rest. After all, Ganyu gave him the feeling that a machine had been running at high load for a long time and then crashed and restarted. However, Ganyu is more flexible and efficient than a machine. Well, she is a qualified worker. But Ganyu actually has her own salary. As a seven-star secretary, her allowance will naturally increase with the times. It’s just that she doesn’t use it most of the time, so she chooses to save it. So Ganyu is also a rich woman in Liyue Harbor.

Ganyu thought of the contract she made with the previous Rock King three thousand years ago. She had also learned that the king had retired, and wanted to have a good talk with Tianhe, the new Rock King, about this matter. She wondered whether she would be accepted by Liyue Harbor in the future, and she was a little confused about her future destination. After all, the Rock King with whom she had a contract had retired, so could she also retire like him?

Of course, if Tianhe was in front of Ganyu now, he would not actively persuade Ganyu to leave Liyue Harbor or stay. He would rather hope that she could follow her heart and realize whether it was the contract that made her stay in Liyue Harbor, or whether he really wanted her to stay in Liyue Harbor, or both.

Of course, Ganyu left the cave and felt hungry, probably because he hadn't eaten for a while, so after comprehensive consideration, he went to Wanmin Hall and ordered a vegetarian meal. After eating, he returned to Yujingtai to deal with the unfinished matters and documents of the day. As for Tianhe, he would go to see him when he had time later.

After Tianhe finished his meal in the Qun Yu Pavilion, he said goodbye to Ningguang and left the Qun Yu Pavilion on the Floating Stone. However, Buyun of course greeted Tianhe warmly and then saw off the new emperor.

Then in the next few days, Tianhe naturally went to Guiliyuan to find Keqing. After Keqing had selected the site and recruited enough workers, she started the construction of Guiliyuan. Of course, in order to speed up the process, Tianhe trained technical workers on site. After all, Liyue did not have many technical jobs in this area. So Ningguang specially hired a technical team from Fontaine, and the construction of Guiliyuan continued. After all, with the support of the two Liyue Seven Stars, there would be no resistance.

This matter was naturally known to the Fatui, and some executives were also interested in Liyue. So under the strong promotion of Zhidong, Zhidong actively sent its diplomatic ambassador to Liyue to negotiate with the Liyue officials. After obtaining the consent of the Liyue officials, it sent its own technical team to learn. After all, some of their technologies were not mature, and of course they paid a lot of price. After all, the Fatui did a lot of things in Liyue, so they also reduced the number of armed personnel in Liyue.

A month later, the initial construction of Guiliyuan was completed. At the same time, the Bishui River governance project was also being implemented simultaneously, but all parties had opinions on the location of the reservoir. However, as the infrastructure was improved, a suitable place was found. After all, the reservoir would flood part of Liyue's land, so this also led to opposition from many traditional and conservative people. However, after seeing that the actual benefits far exceeded these unnecessary lands, those opposing voices were gradually suppressed.

As for the blueprints that Tianhe gave Ningguang, such as the generator, Ningguang also found workers to try to make them, but due to the huge technological lag, she was forced to give up and decided to slowly develop Liyue's industry. However, with the help of teacher Albedo, Lisa of Mondstadt experimented in the elemental workshop in the cave, using elemental power and alchemy technology to continuously improve the generator and other related facilities, and after optimizing them, the results were finally achieved. At the suggestion of Tianhe, the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius patented them and issued a bill specifically for this purpose.

The Seven Stars of Liyue noticed that the improved equipment could be mass-produced, so they also adopted the assembly line. They negotiated with Mondstadt, purchased the patent, and built factories and related industrial chains. It can only be said that Mondstadt and Liyue achieved a win-win situation with the help of Tianhe.

Of course, Tianhe had not been running back and forth between Bishui River and Guiliyuan during this period. He went to Zhongli and asked her opinion on this matter. Zhongli said that Liyue could let it go. After all, she believed in human ability. If Tianhe obtained technology from outside the world, Liyue might become more prosperous.

Of course, Tianhe didn't just come to Zhong Li for this matter. She had cheated him by giving Yunjin the Eye of God some time ago. Although the process made him feel good, after all, Yunjin would be hard to chase in the future, but Zhong Li simply skipped the process and let Yunjin chase him. Now, she chased Tianhe directly to his bed. Zhong Li just avoided his eyes, indicating that she did nothing. This made Tianhe have no way to deal with this Rock King Princess. He couldn't take Zhong Li down on the spot, because he might be the one who was caught.

Helplessly, Tianhe talked to Zhongli about other things, such as the Ruotu Dragon King. Zhongli's face changed when Tianhe talked about this old friend. "Tianhe, are you willing to help Ruotu purify her wear and tear?" After all, in Zhongli's opinion, this journey is long, but after careful consideration, he can go to Jueyunjian and meet those three-eyed five-manifestation immortals, and also meet Shen He.

Tianhe thought about it. Although there were a lot of things going on in Bishuihe and Guiliyuan during this period, he was the person in charge, but he didn't necessarily need to watch the scene. After all, the Liyue officials were in a dominant position, while Fontaine and Zhidong were only consultants and inspectors. So he could let the workaholic Keqing go to Bishuihe to follow up on the progress of the project. After all, she was very enthusiastic about this side.

As for Guiliyuan, don't forget the Demon God of Dust Guizhong. She naturally wants to rebuild a Guiliji, which should be the new district of Guiliyuan now, so Tianhe arranged an identity for her and established a department called "Guiliyuan New District Construction and Overall Planning Supreme Command", which is a bit long. However, because Tianhe was not here for a while, Guizhong was the highest leader on the scene, fully responsible for this matter, and she was also a demon god with authority, which was why Tianhe left with peace of mind.

After completing this series of preparations, Tianhe and Zhongli set out together to purify the Ruotu Dragon King! To know what happened next, please listen to my explanation next time!
