Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

"Thank you, Lord Emperor. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Chen Yue showed excitement on his face when he heard this. He knew that he was able to get such an opportunity because Zhongli had enough trust in him.

But in fact, he was overthinking. Zhongli was testing his ability and whether he was just a reckless man who only knew how to use force but no wisdom.

If Chen Yue fails to give him a satisfactory answer, it will not be too late to take back the rights in his hands then.

Moreover, the situation at sea was becoming increasingly tense, and he had to go back, so he didn't have much time to take charge. He might as well take this opportunity to find a free tool to help him.

After saying goodbye to Zhongli, Chen Yue walked to the Gray Demon beside him.

"You heard everything just now, so don't lie on the ground pretending to be dead. Go back to your territory and explain the situation to your people."

“Just tell them that you have reached some agreement with Morax, and that it belongs to Liyue. I’ll give you a favor and explain the matter to you. You can go and see it yourself, but I want to see the result.”

"Also, you must belong to Liyue from now on, and you must not have any thoughts of rebellion."

"Before you seal it, you will still be in charge of this area of ​​Shenyu Valley, but I must be the highest administrator of this area, and the orders I give must be carried out."

"Other than that, you can do whatever you want."

After hearing Chen Yue's words, the Gray Demon's face became extremely ugly.

The feeling of surviving a disaster is great, which means he doesn't want to die easily now, but he also doesn't want to continue to be like a puppet and be manipulated by others.

Seeing the ugly expression on the Gray Demon's face, Chen Yue patted him on the shoulder and tried to persuade him.

"Isn't it the same no matter who you work for? Why would you still work hard when he treats you like that?"

"I promise you that I will not do anything to harm your people. Every order I give is for the better development in the future."

"Everyone treats you as a discarded pawn. If you go back in the future, you will definitely be retaliated against. It would be better for you to join Morax directly. That way, there will be a big boss backing you up. What do you have to worry about?"

"I have explained the pros and cons to you. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible."

The Gray Demon was silent for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty.

I have to agree to this. If I don't have a strong backer, I'm afraid that before long I might be walking on the mountain road and be killed by a wave.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, the Gray Demon finally agreed.

He patted the Gray Demon's shoulder, signaling him to return to his territory first. Then he also returned to his original military camp.

The moment they saw their general coming back, all the soldiers and subordinates present dared not breathe a single breath.

But they saw their general first defeat a demon god single-handedly, and then the emperor personally talked with him.

This kind of dream-like scene can probably only appear in exciting novels!

"General...General." The subordinate beside him said tentatively.

Chen Yue glanced at him and waved at him casually.

"It's okay, I just defeated a demon god and won the emperor's appreciation."

"And from now on, my power will be expanded from this place to the Liyue half-realm. I will no longer be just a general who leads troops to fight. From today on, you should change your tune."

"Let me think, what should you call me?"

Chen Yue stroked his chin, thinking about this very important question. "Well, from now on, you can call me Lord."

……

Chenyu Valley is located in a good geographical location. Although it is not as rich as imagined, it has fertile land and a large population.

But due to the demon wars in recent years, what Chen Yue saw along the way was that most of the land was deserted and the population had decreased a lot.

Even when he met ordinary people, he looked pale and thin, with a dull look in his eyes and looked like he was about to die.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yue felt a little sad and couldn't help but sigh.

"When prosperity comes, the people suffer. When destruction comes, the people suffer!"

This poem is easy to understand, but cruel and true, which touched all the subordinates present! "My lord, you have great literary talent."

"Haha, no matter how the times change, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer." Chen Yue looked at the sky, sighed with a wry smile.

Originally, he planned to occupy this place, establish himself as the master, and then wait for the war to end and become an immortal for fun.

But the bloody scenes he saw along the way touched him.

"Maybe God sent me to this world, to the time of the Demon War, just to let me make this imperfect story into what we want it to be."

Thinking of this, Chen Yue decided in his heart that he must assist Zhongli wholeheartedly and unify Liyue as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, since I'm the one taking care of this place, this kind of scene will never happen again."

"Save the people from danger and pacify the world in times of chaos!"

What is the most important thing if you want to rule a place well?

Yes, you must have prestige. Only when you put the people at heart, will the people hold you high.

Chen Yue looked at the people from Chen Yu Valley and made a promise to them.

"Everyone, the rise and fall of a century is determined by man, not by heaven."

"Since you can't adapt to this environment, I have the obligation to help you change it."

"From now on, all orders I give must be obeyed. Everything I do is for the people."

"Liyue is a people-oriented country. I promise you that in the future, everyone's table will have milk and... ahem... everyone's table will have three dishes and a soup."

Chen Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead. Damn, he almost let the cat out of the bag.

"You and I are so sincere, how can we betray each other? The future of Liyue requires our joint efforts. Our goal will be to realize social democracy... ahem... to realize a happy life for everyone."

"In short, today is the day to realize our grand plan! Recover Liyue and enhance our nation's prestige!"

In the days that followed, Chen Yue basically dealt with political issues every day.

In order to solve the problem on the front line, Chen Yue specially wrote down the military tactics of his previous life into a book and taught it to his confidants. It seems that as long as there is no demon god-level opponent, Chen Yue does not need to take action himself.

In order to solve the food problem, Chen Yue encouraged the people to open up wasteland, but the land obtained could not be traded and a fixed tax had to be paid every year. After all, blind optimism is not an option, and a happy life must be fought for with one's own hands.

Although it was extremely difficult and time-consuming to open up wasteland in ancient times, this was not a big deal in Chen Yue's eyes. It was just a blueprint for a curved plow.

In this way, both internal and external troubles have been resolved, and what remains are some personal matters.
