Ningguang loves Mora, but she's not a tightwad. She's a businesswoman who knows that investing Mora can bring in greater profits.
Mu Yang is undoubtedly a worthy investment.
"Guild Master, are you interested in taking a position in Liyue?" Suddenly, Zhongli asked without warning.
"Oh?" Mu Yang looked at Zhongli in surprise: "It seems I have no need to take a position in Liyue, right?"
He's the guild master of the Dimension Guild!
How could he possibly work for Morax?
Facing Mu Yang's confusion, Zhongli simply glanced at him and uttered two words: "Contract!"
This instantly brought Mu Yang back to his senses. It seems he really does have a contract with Zhongli, and he needs to help Liyue improve.
However, Liyue becoming better is also a good thing for Mu Yang. The things he needs to do in the future will inevitably involve confronting the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, and there's a high probability he'll face the Abyss and Snezhnaya as well. In that case, developing Liyue is essential.
"Are you willing to accept the position of Seven Star Advisor?" Seeing Mu Yang's acquiescence, Zhongli softly asked.
"Seven Star Advisor? Serving the Seven Stars of Liyue directly?" Mu Yang furrowed his brow, clearly uncomfortable with Zhongli's decision.
If he truly wants to help rebuild Liyue, why make him serve the Seven Stars?
Mu Yang admits that Ningguang's legs are white and long, and Keqing's stockings are quite tempting, but a beast will never be a slave.
This time, even Keqing and Ningguang were surprised to see Mu Yang. Why would the Geo Archon introduce a Seven Star Advisor?
Zhongli shook his head slightly. He first glanced at Ganyu, then explained: "It depends on your perspective.
Just like Ganyu's position is Seven Star Secretary, in essence, she is my secretary. Besides assisting and guiding the Seven Stars on how to work, she also has the responsibility of overseeing the Seven Stars of Liyue.
It's just that Ganyu seems to view herself as only a Seven Star Secretary.
I hope you can provide Liyue with reform plans in the future, offer suggestions for Liyue's future reforms, and contribute your ideas. Your position will be equivalent to Ganyu's."
Ganyu blushed and touched her horns. Supervising the Seven Stars? This seems to be her original role. Every day, she has to review the Seven Stars' work records and identify any gaps or deficiencies.
It's just that she usually finds it hard to say no to the Seven Stars of Liyue.
"Okay!" Mu Yang nodded slightly: "Then what kind of reforms do you want? Economic or something else?
Liyue has many problems that need to be addressed.
Even though I was only in Liyue for a few days, because of various incomplete systems, there are many loopholes everywhere."
"Hey, hey, hey, Guild Master, what are you talking about?
You're badmouthing Liyue like this, I won't forgive you!" Hearing Mu Yang say this, Keqing exploded.
"Human greed is always endless. Law is the minimum constraint on morality. Liyue needs more laws to restrain humanity.
Right now, Liyue is only powerful because of Morax's management. If Morax wasn't here, do you think you could really handle it?" Mu Yang glanced at Keqing: "In the world I came from, there was no god as powerful as the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to suppress everything. In the five thousand years of human development, there were over fourteen thousand wars, and wars were practically constant.
There was even a world war that killed over 70 million people.
Humans, for survival, for their own interests, continuously waged war.
This is the flaw of human nature.
Without gods, human wars would continue forever.
The most powerful country in the world I came from was actually ruled by a group of merchants. They constantly instigated internal turmoil in other countries, provoked wars between nations, and then sold them weapons and food to make money.
Most merchants don't have a country in their hearts. They only see profit.
That war that killed over 70 million people was largely caused by a group of greedy merchant races. Merchants inflated food prices to the point where ordinary people couldn't afford it, and ambitious people seized the opportunity… "
At the end, Mu Yang's gaze subtly fell on Keqing and Ningguang. These two are the representatives of big merchants.
"If I were to manage a country, I would first reform from the top. For example, managers themselves would not be allowed to engage in business, and their immediate relatives would not be able to engage in business." Mu Yang paused and continued: "But with Liyue's current situation, it would be impossible.
Besides, Liyue is not the world I came from. As long as Morax is here, these hidden dangers can be suppressed.
My first suggestion is to establish a Liyue Bank!
This bank must belong to the Liyue government, not a private money house."
Ningguang can sense that Mu Yang is targeting her, but she didn't say anything. She knows all too well the capabilities of merchants.
Even though she's being targeted, Ningguang can't refute anything. She can't be upset with Mu Yang just because he's revealing the truth, can she?
Damn it, she's so angry her chest hurts!
"But Liyue already has the Northland Bank. They've already gotten a head start." Keqing didn't get angry as expected. On the contrary, she felt that Mu Yang's words made sense.
She herself is quite dissatisfied with some people who use their power for personal gain.
"Think about it this way. Snezhnaya has combat capabilities that are no less than Liyue's. The people of Liyue are depositing all their Mora in Northland Bank.
If they send all this Mora back to Snezhnaya, the entire financial system of Liyue will collapse. Of course, Zhongli could also solve this problem by creating a massive amount of Mora.
But this depends on you taking action.
I believe you wouldn't want to personally intervene in such a matter, would you?" Mu Yang said pointedly.
Others don't know that Zhongli wants to retire, but Mu Yang does.
Zhongli chuckled: "If such a thing requires my intervention, it means we've already lost."
"So, by allowing Northland Bank to open in Liyue and aggressively squeeze out local money houses while you don't do anything, you've already lost." Mu Yang looked at Ningguang: "You're so smart, you should understand the hidden danger of this.
Why haven't you considered building a bank? Remember, Mora is made in Liyue."
