The distance from Mingjin Island to Tsurukan is too long, so it takes a long time. As an adventurer, it is not that I cannot endure such hardship. But in reality, there is a better way to travel.
——Take a boat from Mingjin Island to Qinglai Island, and then rent a boat to Heguan.
In the past, this idea would have been impossible. Qinglai Island was an uninhabited area, a forgotten land with no one living on it. Apart from the Treasure Stealers and the Fatui, the Inazuma people would never appear here.
It's different now. If the general wants to develop Qinglai Island, then the entire Inazuma will follow suit to develop it. Besides, this is not a losing business. The three magistrates have a very high reward for returning to Qinglai Island to develop it. It is a lot of money. If it weren't for the important task and generous reward, Ying would have wanted to bring Paimeng to work here.
"Ying, should we go see Xinhai first? Or should we go visit Qinzi?" Paimeng asked.
Ying pinched her chin and began to make a difficult choice.
The Coral Palace Heart Sea is now on Qinglai Island.
As the present-day divine priestess of Haiqi Island, it was a strange thing for her to appear on the land of Qinglai Island. But Ying could understand such a thing. After the Eye Hunting Order and the Locked Country Order were lifted, Coral Palace Xinhai had been running around for Haiqi Island.
She got advice from the priest and turned her attention to the development of Qinglai Island. Haiji Island had nothing but manpower. The three magistrates provided abundant resources for the development of Qinglai Island, but what was lacking was willing manpower. The construction of Mingshen Island was in full swing. Guangying knew of three places that were absorbing manpower: the castle tower construction site, the shipyard site, and the textile industry site in Konda Village.
Recently, the adventurers of the Adventurer's Association have all changed their jobs. She even felt that the treasure-stealing groups and sea ghosts in the wild have all chosen to go home to work.
Come to think of it, if you can have a formal job, who would be willing to go out into the wild and sleep in the open?
Let's get back to the point. Under normal circumstances, the Three Magistrates would not consider the manpower of Kaigi Island. This is a historical issue. Thanks to the lobbying of Coral Palace Xinhai, this opportunity was given.
In addition to Kaixinhai, another name mentioned by Paimeng, Qinzi, is the name of a cat, or more precisely, a black cat monster.
She is a monster of the Qinglai Island Shrine, and has always lived on Qinglai Island. When Ying came to Qinglai Island last time, she met her and accepted a series of commissions from her, becoming her friend.
Soon, Ying no longer had to answer multiple-choice questions.
Paimon saw an acquaintance. An acquaintance named Teppei.
"Zheping, hi!!!"
Paimeng's small eyes were very smart and he immediately noticed Zheping who was unloading goods at the temporary dock.
"Traveler, Paimon, it's you. You actually came to Qinglai Island? Master Coral Palace will definitely be very happy."
"Zheping, are we disturbing you?" Ying looked around and found that most of the people unloading the ship were familiar faces - they were all former soldiers of the Kaigi Island resistance.
Zheping said, "No, I just said, just put the things on your shoulders and go to the camp later."
So they walked towards the camp, and Teppei talked about their recent situation.
The people from Haiji Island have been in Qinglai Island for a while, and they are considered the second group to enter here. Their job is to assist the Inazuma Army in sweeping the surrounding monsters and guarding the temporary camp.
There are many reasons why they are like coolies now. First, the materials on this cargo ship are all needed by Haiqi Island. There are many laborers in the Qinglai Island camp at present, but the price is not cheap. It's just a handful of strength, and the soldiers of Haiqi Island did it themselves.
"You've changed a lot, Teppei. I still remember your days in the resistance." Paimon said.
Teppei smiled and said, "Don't mention this matter. Now when I talk about the past, I remember the time when I was criticized by the Coral Palace Master."
"Who told you to use the evil eye?" Paimon said, "That's exchanging your life for combat power."
"Isn't it all over?" Zheping said awkwardly.
When the rebels and the shogunate army were fighting, Teppei and others also went to the battlefield. At that time, the situation was stalemate and people could not see hope. So the evil eye from the Fatui spread.
Fortunately, Coral Palace Xinhai soon discovered the drawbacks, caught all the people who used the evil eye, and criticized them. Even more fortunately, the war between the rebels and the shogunate army was essentially over later.
After many twists and turns, Zheping followed Lord Coral Palace to Qinglai Island.
"Will there be a conflict between you and the Shogunate army?" Ying asked.
"Conflicts are just some minor contradictions. Most of them are just verbal disputes. We are usually very tired from work. Who has so much energy? Besides, we are here to make money. Lord Coral Palace orders people to promote it every day. Our efforts are for the better development of Haiji Island."
As Zheping chatted with the traveler, they arrived at the camp.
Chapter 476 Qinglai Island Part 2
Qinglai Island has changed dramatically. Ying compared what she observed with her memory and found that the two places were incomparable.
The last time I came here, I was here to explore Qinglai Island. By chance, I flew to the very far sky and fought against Leiyin Quanxian. And everywhere I saw were ruins and relics.
During this visit, you can find that this place is thriving and full of vitality.
At first glance, there are no large buildings, but many tents and sheds for temporary living have been built. At the same time, in many areas, houses are being built like a construction site.
The temporary campsite is located very close to the Asase Shrine, and if Ying remembers correctly, there should be the shipwreck of the Seiraimaru here.
The campsite on Umijima Island is in the corner of the temporary campsite, the farthest place from Asase Shrine.
Ying, who followed Teppei into the camp, was led to the center of the camp by others.
The advantage of being well-known is that everyone knows you and won’t ask too many questions about you.
"The Traveler and Paimon are here, come in?"
The one who greeted Ying was Xinhai from Coral Palace.
"Xinhai, why is there no one else?" Paimeng flew into the tent, looked around, and didn't see anyone else.
"Everyone is busy working. Why are you staying here with me? Paimon, actually the workload here is very small. I can handle it all by myself." Coral Palace Xinhai said.
Paimon looked at the pile of documents and nodded, "Indeed, it looks like there are very few documents."
Paimon has seen many people along the way, including many managers who are workaholics, such as Jean, the acting leader of Mondstadt, and Ganyu of Liyue. Even when he went to the Mingjin Grand Shrine twice before, he could see the piles of documents next to the desks of the priests and generals as high as a mountain.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and began to talk about the past. In the Inazuma shogunate, Ying might have been just a friend of the leader of the Three Bugyo and the sister of a priest. But in Umigi Island, she was a genuine soldier and even served as a team leader.
"Zheping, he is quite capable. I wanted to train him to be a captain before, but now it seems that I want to train him to be a business talent." Coral Palace Xinhai paused and explained to his friend: "Haigi Island is not short of soldiers now, but it lacks talents in other areas."
Ying nodded: "I understand."
An organization that has to handle everything from people's livelihood to economy to military affairs by one person cannot last long. In the past, during the war, Xinhai had to carry the entire Haiji Island forward. Now is a peaceful era, and this cannot be allowed anymore.
"Xinhai, have you achieved the purpose of coming to Qinglai Island? Is there anything you need help from Paimeng and me?" Ying said.
Inazuma, she has many connections. She has friends in almost all organizations, including the Three Bugyo and Narujin Taisha.
Coral Palace Xinhai shook his head: "We do have many conflicts with the shogunate. These conflicts are caused by cultural differences, and there is nothing you can do about it, traveler."
The god that Inazuma worships is Narukami, while the god that we worship is Umi-Omikami. The conflict in belief is not easy to resolve.
However, this contradiction is acceptable in the face of interests. On the side of Kaigi Island, the prestige of Coral Palace Xinhai cooperates with the purpose of earning Mora, so the people of Kaigi Island can restrain themselves. On the side of the shogunate, the orders from the upper level also allow them to restrain themselves. If both sides restrain themselves, the situation will be much better.
Coral Palace Xinhai didn't sit in the tent for long. He took Ying out of the camp and walked around.
"In the beginning, I did come along. Goro helped me watch over Narukami Island. At that time, there were many monsters, except for Asase Shrine. We gradually cleared out the monsters there, and formed the current situation. Until now, our camp and the shogunate's camp have been supporting each other, and we usually help each other when facing monster attacks."
When Qinglai Island was first developed, Coral Palace followed. The two sides who were fighting for life and death in the past suddenly became teammates. This kind of change in mentality is not something that everyone can do.
The Inazuma Army had the general's orders, and the army had been reorganized. Many of the officers were directly under the general, and they were very strict in executing the general's orders. As for Kaigi Island, only Coral Palace Xinhai could come forward in person.
"Xinhai, is this the current plan for Qinglai Island?" The two of them took Paimeng to a high place where they could see the entire camp.
Ying saw many busy construction sites. Many building skeletons appeared in her eyes. She could vaguely see the planning of a city.
"Well, according to the arrangement of the executive side. The camp you see, traveler, is for the overall view of the city. It is actually a group of buildings surrounding the port." Coral Palace Xinhai said happily: "In fact, this area is the land allocated to us for residential use. Many of the materials purchased this time are construction materials, that is, to build residential areas. The second is the planning of the commercial street. I also have land and plan to develop a chamber of commerce and a bank."
"Bank?" Ying was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to open a bank?"
The most typical bank that Ying had come into contact with was the Northland Bank in Dongdong, which was a multinational bank. Inazuma, let alone a bank, didn't even have a money house.
"I learned by chance that Inazuma wanted to support a certain banking industry. Secondly, Kaigi Island also needs a bank." Coral Palace Xinhai said.
What she didn't say was that she accidentally learned that the bank was specifically requested by the priest. Even the first batch of international students sent out was to go to Liyue to learn about finance and the shipbuilding industry.
Of course, after understanding what a bank is, Coral Palace Xinhai keenly realized that this has many advantages. First, it is convenient for the normal financial needs of residents between Qinglai Island and Haiqi Island. Secondly, the funds gathered by the bank can be borrowed by the Chamber of Commerce for development. And business is also the main development direction of Coral Palace Xinhai after finalization.
——The conditions on Kaigi Island are there, and there are only two or three possible paths for development.
Ying nodded. She didn’t quite understand what was said, but she thought that if it was Xinhai, then it was most likely correct.
Maybe Xinhai is not the best in every aspect, but he is okay in every aspect.
Then they talked about interesting things in the past. Finally, after knowing that Ying's target was Heguan, Coral Palace Xinhai said: "Then I wish you a successful mission, Traveler."
"Of course, the Traveler is a super powerful Traveler." Paimon interrupted.
Ying teased, "Paimeng, are you interrupting me because Xinhai and I ignored you?"
"That's not the case!"
No matter what Paimon said, Ying and Xinhai just kept smiling, which made Paimon so angry that he stamped his feet.
After resting for a night at the Qinglai Island camp, Ying took Paimon to visit the Asase Shrine, where they met the shrine maiden sent by the Narugami Taisha Shrine.
The general decided to develop Qinglai Island, and the Narujin Taisha would naturally send shrine maidens to assist. Asase Shrine was originally a member of the Narujin Taisha system, so it was reasonable for the shrine maidens to move in.
In the communication with the shrine maidens, Ying learned that the shrine maidens sent were arranged by his brother, the priest, and the leader of the shrine maidens was an acquaintance, Shinobu Kuki's sister Kuki Yuki.
After chatting with Hisahi Yuki, I communicated with Kuroneko Neko and learned that although she couldn't see Xiang anymore, she was happy to see the shrine become lively.
After leaving Asase Shrine, Ying stood on the wave boat and looked back at Qinglai Island.
It looks completely full of vitality.
And all of this seems to be related to one person...
Chapter 477: Treat
Li Mo seemed very relaxed, lying on the big bed with his mind empty. He didn't know what "Spiritual Trip" or "Strike Staff" were. His current state was probably the same as that of a college student who only knew how to eat.
After leaving school, the peak of life's IQ is still rising...
How did it get to this point?
Inazuma's memories of being a corporate slave slowly emerged. When did she become such a hard-working person?
I don't understand.
The guys who were in a bad state began to reflect on the past. But as they reflected, they stopped thinking.
Suddenly I felt that it was a good thing to be back. Assuming I were still there, I would probably continue to work.
It's hard not to wonder if Inazuma is on the wrong path. After all, it's her hard work, even taking out something like a bank.
A bank exclusively for Inazuma was established with the help of Kanjo Bugyo, and of course Chisato Hiiragi was appointed as the president of the bank. After all, there were not many talented people in Inazuma, so this was the only way. When the first batch of people who went to study finance came back, they would no longer have to take on the concurrent post.
Why are you thinking about work again?
I decided to empty my mind. I had already done everything I was supposed to do. I had written down all the response methods in various plans. If I couldn't even handle this, what else could I do?
Knowing the dangers of finance, he had in-depth discussions with Hiiragi Chisato and her cronies when promoting the banking industry. Li Mo had a lot of financial theory knowledge in his head, which he learned when he was in Academy City. At that time, as one of the directors, if he didn't understand some things, he would be cheated.
