Zhong Gui's voice rang in Ke Qing's ears.
"Yes, young lord."
Keqing took a deep breath, greeted the envoys, and led them to the attic.
Keqing arrived at the pavilion. The four gods and the Dragon King sat in chairs looking at the scenery outside. Zhong Gui stood behind the chair with his back to it, looking at everyone.
Before her, the other seven stars had all arrived.
When Ke Qing entered, Zhong Gui nodded to her, and Ke Qing was immediately flattered.
"Greetings, Your Majesty; Greetings, Young Lord; Greetings, Dragon King."
"Alright, get up." Zhong Gui raised his hand to signal Ke Qing to return to the group, and then said nothing more.
"Lord Diluc, is there any more wine that Mondstadt brought?" Venti stood up and walked over, asking Diluc as he approached.
Diluc: "There's still plenty left, it's on me."
Kaeya: "Come on, come on, Diluc is treating, let's go for a drink."
The three of them... two of them walked away arm in arm, with Diluc following indifferently.
"Shadow, come on, I'll take you shopping."
"Ok?"
"Let's go!" The Divine Child pulled Shadow along and led Ayaka away.
Nasida jumped off the stool footrest and left with Elhesen.
There was no other way; the four gods had to be at the same height, and Little Lucky Grass King couldn't be lower, so she had to sit on a high stool, with a footrest added for her.
The three gods left with their people, leaving only Zhongli and the Dragon King sitting there.
After everyone had left, Zhong Gui looked at the seven people.
"First of all, Keqing, I'm sorry to have put you through this."
"Young Master..."
"Don't speak yet." Zhong Gui waved his hand to interrupt her. "No matter what you say, you will be hated by many people, or even insulted. That's a fact."
"You've taken the blame, but you can't keep doing it forever."
"Although I explained it for you before, there will always be people who can't accept it."
Zhong Gui took out several booklets. "These are some new books I've written. Why don't you take some time to publish them?"
"Yes, young lord."
Keqing took it and glanced at it.
Liyue: The Earth Dragon, True and Shadow, The Unfree Wind.
Zhong Guixin compiled some materials that explained the concept of "wear and tear" (although the old man is no longer worn and tearing), gave a negative example of a god "losing his mind" (Shadow: ...), and talked about a god who has never stopped governing the country even though he has never appeared (the god of liberty is never free).
I hope someone can understand the gods' predicament~ (seriously)
Regardless of the current uproar, everyone understands that this has nothing to do with Ke Qing; she was just unlucky enough to be chosen by the "Emperor" to raise this question.
No pain, no gain. Those who have criticized Ke Qing will eventually feel indebted to her. In the long run, this will bring her many benefits. Not everyone is an ingrate.
Of course, Liyue cannot be worse off after it is under "human rule" than when it was under "divine rule," otherwise Keqing will be doomed if she brings this up.
But will it be worse? No, because there's no real change; it's still the Seven Stars doing the work.
The only change was that the person in charge of the major plan was changed from Young Master Zhong Gui to Advisor Zhong Gui. Moreover, Zhong Gui himself believed that he was not as smart as the Seven Stars. These seven people, plus their advisory group, and with Zhong Gui's information, were stronger than a hundred Zhong Guis.
"I know everyone is a little uneasy, unsure of what to do, and afraid of making mistakes."
"Have some confidence. You are the Seven Stars of Liyue, the seven largest merchants in Liyue. You manage your merchant guild very well and also manage Liyue very well. You are very strong. You are the elite of Liyue and are among the best in Teyvat."
“Tell me about the worst-case scenario. How bad could it get? The seven of you have influence in every industry. Even though you are the Seven Stars and have restricted yourselves for the sake of Liyue, as long as you manage your merchant guilds well, Liyue will not fall into chaos.”
If the seven largest ones don't move, would the others dare to move? If they still dare to move, what about adding the Thousand Rock Army?
Ultimately, everyone needs to maintain stability; Liyue won't descend into chaos...
At worst, it will be the same as last year.
"If anyone questions how much money was spent on building schools and developing land that was previously farmed, and whether they haven't made a profit, then let them stand on the Jade Capital Platform and debate with people, and see who supports them!"
Seven Stars: "..."
In that case, that person might not be able to walk down Yujingtai alive.
In Liyue, no one dares to go against a child's future and the land, not even the Seven Stars combined. It's something worth losing money to do.
"By the way, Uncle Tian, you're in charge of people's livelihood, so please take care of this aspect."
"Yes, young lord."
So it turns out that Sister Ganyu's fiancé is Shaojun. That's alright, he's not some nobody.
"Regarding land and construction, Keqing, don't let what just happened hold you back."
"Don't worry, young master."
"Population, population... Liyue still has too few people. It's a pity that this is not something that can be resolved overnight."
Zhong Gui sighed.
"By the way, we should encourage population growth, otherwise so much land in Liyue will be deserted in the future."
"Yes."
"Have the Thousand Rock Army make another trip, thoroughly investigate the Jueyun area, post notices everywhere, informing them of the impending earthquake, and ordering all residents, merchants, tourists, and treasure-hunting groups to come out first, especially those seeking immortality—clear them out, those good-for-nothings..."
Many of those who sought immortality were not even as good as treasure-hunting gangs.
"I will take direct action to level the land; it was ravaged too much by the great war back then."
4.7
Of course, two days before Zhong Gui took action, he would use his divine power to broadcast a notice in the name of the Emperor throughout Jueyun, just in case someone ignored his advice.
If you still don't leave after this, then try an earthquake.
Zhong Gui won't kill anyone, but he'll make him terrified during the earthquake until the very end.
If you're so daring that you don't care about this, then I suggest you be awesome.
Hey you, Qianyanjun, arrest this disobedient guy and lock him up for six months.
The action on flat ground would also alleviate Keqing's pressure and let the people of Liyue know that the Emperor was not angry and had not left.
He just wanted to know if his "child" had grown up yet...

Chapter 90 Stubborn Old Man: Refusal to be Forcibly Demolished! (Includes thanks, please vote with monthly tickets)
"Lord Yuheng Star, something has happened."
"what happened?"
Two days later, Ke Qing was inspecting Jueyun when a Qianyan soldier ran over to her with a helpless expression and said something.
"What happened?"
The Chiyan Army soldier sighed and explained the situation to her—
The evacuation work in Jueyunjian began these past two days, with Qianyanjun taking household registration records and going door-to-door to find the families living there.
Explain the policies to them, tell them what the Emperor is going to do, and most importantly, promise to compensate them double for their losses.
Liyue is a kingdom of contracts, and a contract signed in the name of the Geo Archon is quite convincing.
Over the past two days, they have been evacuating the crowd and driving away the treasure-stealing gang.
The treasure-hunting gang was quite shrewd; they had already fled in disarray.
After all, the Qianyan Army has already explained it very clearly. If we don't run now, we'll be buried alive!
The Thousand Rock Army watched them run away without arresting them. Liyue was short-handed right now, and no one was going to specifically arrest them.
Ke Qing: "Once this busy period is over, I'm going to capture the treasure-stealing gang and make them work for me."
She can't stand seeing so many people not doing their jobs but cheating and swindling. Wouldn't it be better for her to contribute to the development of Liyue?
"You mean there's an old man who doesn't want to leave?"
"That's right." 04
With the help of the Thousand Rock Army and the contract endorsed by the Emperor, even the stubborn old man knew that this was for everyone's good, and afterwards the General Affairs Department would rebuild their houses.
How can someone be this stubborn? That shouldn't be the case.
With compensation in place and the land renovated, what more could one ask for?
"I'm not leaving!"
Ke Qing heard this sentence as soon as she arrived, and she could tell from the voice that this old man was not easy to deal with.
Also, what kind of accent is this? Does Liyue have this accent?
Keqing thought she had traveled all over Liyue, but she had never heard this accent before.
