Not to mention the diplomatic confrontation between the sages of Nafis and the people of Kamisato,

The carriage carrying the Lord of the Red Sand finally arrived at the gate of Inazuma Castle after several days of travel.

The news has spread,

Many of the people of Inami looked at the convoy curiously, wanting to see the gods from other countries.

Among them, there is also a big fool, with his little brother, where he proclaims his friendship with the Lord of the Red Sand.

"Hahahaha, that's Uncle Ben's best friend, did you see the gauntlet on Uncle Ben's arm? It was given to me by my dear friend. ”

Arataki Itto shows off the obvious desert-style gear in his hands to the passers-by around him.

Of course, this can't be a gift from the king, and this is the mysterious reward for Arataki Itto defeat the Wind Erosion Sandworm in the event.

Not only Arataki Itto, but also Liyue and the rest of Mondstadt's friends have them, with small desert-style gifts.

"Boss, boss, did you say that a brother will see us?"

Arataki Itto's little brother also knows Wang Daoyi, and after Ichito's notice, they all know that the little brother who used to accompany them to play in the Inazuma Wilderness is now a god.

On the side, Kuki Shinobu patted his head: "You guys, don't make trouble for me!! ”

If you destroy the meeting between the Lord of the Red Sand and the Raiden Shogun,

Kuki Shinobu didn't know how long his gang members would be locked up by the Heavenly Commander.

The carriage came to the gate of Inazuma Castle, and as he watched the crowd gradually gather, Kujou Sara's face became more and more ugly.

However, she still forced a smile and knocked on the door curtain of the carriage: "Respected Lord of the Red Sands, Inazuma Castle has arrived, and for the rest of the journey, the carriage cannot enter, and we will escort you to the castle tower." ”

She can already imagine what her group will be watching in the next journey.

Look at the one in the carriage again, smiling so happily.

As soon as Wang Dao lifted the curtain of the carriage,

Came out of it,

Looking around, I saw the members of the Arataki faction in the crowd,

Remembering that he seemed to have the status of a supernumerary member of the Arataki faction, Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded to them.

Immediately, it ushered in the wild laughter of Arataki Itto.

For Ichito, this is too face-saving.

"You'd better not keep giving that guy a look, that guy is going crazy." Kujou Sara said through gritted teeth in Wang Daoyi's ear.

"Ichito is usually very cute, Sara, I heard that he invited you to a sumo wrestling match, did you agree?" Wang Daoyi smiled and looked at Kujou Sara.

Kujou Sara's face darkened, and his back molars were about to crush.

"Please come with us, Lord of the Red Sands."

"Ha, wait a minute, how can you disappoint the enthusiastic Dao wife."

The smile on Wang Dao's face became more and more 'enthusiastic'.

In the eyes of the onlookers,

The somewhat familiar Lord of the Red Sand stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers at the sky.

A little light flew out and bloomed in mid-air,

Turning into a little bit of light chips falling,

"Oh, oh, it's a blessing, it's a blessing." Arataki Kazuto looked at it, this was too familiar.

Isn't this the blessed scene he once saw in the desert?

As the light chips fall little by little,

The shrouded rice wives began to warm up.

It seems that the exhaustion and pain of the body are moving away.

For a while, after hearing Arataki Ichito shouting, the people of Inazuma also cheered.

God's blessing, this kind of thing, going back to the tavern is also a good topic to brag about.

On the other side,

Kujou Sara, who also felt the power of the light chips, glanced at the royal road with complicated eyes, and then began to command the Okuja people, and began to escort the guards and many shrine maidens to the castle tower.

However, under Wang Daoyi's intentional or unintentional circumstances, the speed was not very fast.

"Don't be embarrassed, come on."

Wang Daoyi's ears suddenly sounded the sound of thunder movies.

Pouting, Wang Daoyi stopped walking slowly and quickened his pace.

Although I don't know why Wang Daoyi is speeding up, but this is a good thing, a hint of joy appeared in Kujou Sara's eyes.

After accelerating, the group quickly entered the area of the castle tower.

The people of Inami who followed also stopped, and only Han Han Yidou wanted to continue, but was stopped by the guarding shogunate army.

Ichito still wanted to fight for it, but he was pulled away by Kuki Shinobu.

Enter the castle tower area,

Wang Daoyi also put away the cynical smile just now,

Get serious.

In front of the castle tower,

Tsukasa Narukami has been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, why, are you so happy to be watched?"

"Hmph, you don't want to warn Sara and watch her being used by Ayato?"

"Hey, don't sow discord, as the palace secretary of the Narukami Shrine, I can't interfere in the affairs between the priests at will."

"Besides, Sara will grow up after this incident."

Yae Miko looks like it's none of my business, I'm here for Kujou Sara's good looks.

As he spoke, Yae Miko looked at Kujou Sara, "Thank you for escorting, Admiral Sara, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Then I'll quit first." Kujou Sara swept Yae Miko with cold eyes and said goodbye.

After Kujou Sara is gone,

Yae Miko looked at the other shrine maidens, "You've worked hard too, go and rest." ”

Along the way, Kujou Sara and the Okukujo are responsible for driving away bandits such as Kairan, and these shrine maidens are responsible for dispersing various youkai and ghosts in Inazuma.

Many shrine maidens bowed to Yae Miko, and they all withdrew.

"Let's go, the shadow is waiting for you."

With that, Yae Miko pushed open the door of the castle tower.

In the castle tower,

A coffee table was placed in the empty hall,

Ray Movie sat on his knees,

Fiddling with the wine cup on the coffee table.

"When Shin and I went to Liyue for the Feast of the Gods, I was accompanied by Masaku on the side, and at that time, Iwajin didn't like tea, and Shinya was often drunk, so after the feast was over, I was responsible for bringing Shin back to Inazuma."

Looking at Wang Daoyi who walked in, Lei Ying said.

"Then it seems that I can taste the wine from the feast of the gods today?"

Wang Daoyi smiled and sat across from the Lei movie.

And Yae Miko walked to the side of Lei Movie and knelt down, took the wine cup in Lei Movie's hand, and began to fiddle with it.

It used to be Raiden Movie's companion, and now it's Yae Miko who accompanies Thunder Movie.

"Ha, the original wine was all good wine collected by Barbatos, and my sake here is not comparable."

Lei Movie lifted a cup and handed it to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi was not polite, took the wine glass, and took a sip.

"Well, it's a little refreshing, not bad."

The sake in the throat does not have the strength of Liyue wine, nor the aroma of Mondstadt's wine, nor the sweetness of coconut wine.

There is only a refreshing feeling that makes people feel comfortable.

"When I was still there, I liked to fiddle with these, and this is also the recipe that Zhen left, as long as you like it."

"Of course I do, I like all good things, including good wine." Wang Daoyi praised.

Lei Movie smiled, and Yae Miko on the side added wine to Wang Daoyi, quiet not like a fox, but like a rabbit.

"Regarding the affairs of the company, I hope you don't mind, that child, it's also for the benefit of Inazuma."

"Ha, of course I don't care, it's up to Ayato to convince Nafis." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

"Thank you for your generosity." Lei Movie thanked him, and then glanced at Yae Miko beside him.

Yae Miko pursed his lips, and the meaning of tranquility no longer existed: "What, the industries that people choose are all industries that Inazuma needs to develop, although they may be suppressed by the Akademiya in one or two hundred years, but in the long run, after a hundred years, Inazuma will definitely be more prosperous." ”

Lei Movie looked at Yae Miko helplessly: "Miko, a person's life may not be a hundred years, and we can't use our perspective to look at the concept of mortals." ”

"Okay, okay, hmph, you have to be scolded for doing something, it's really good to be reciprocated." Yae Miko waved his hand and didn't add wine to the two of them.

Wang Dao smiled, and when he saw that the fox was deflated, he was still very drunk.

I picked up the flask and refilled myself with a glass.

"These are trivial things, and the Akademiya will not oppress the people of Inazuma, win-win cooperation is the truth, Ei, you don't have to worry."

"I still want to thank you and Bouyer, compared to the truth, I am really not good at governing the country, and it may be a good thing to have the help of the Akademiya."

When it comes to governing the country, Lei Movie always can't jump away from the real impact of thunder and lightning.

That great god, the god who bought Inazuma for five hundred years even if he died, is the biggest regret in Lei Movie's heart.

"Let's get down to business, when are we leaving?" Wang Daoyi skipped the topic of governing the country,

He didn't even understand this stuff himself.

"I have detected that there are monsters gathering in the dark outer seas, and they will probably attack from the direction of Seirai Island, and I have mobilized the shogunate army to guard them, and when the monster attack begins, we can set off if we find the evil god who is encouraging the monsters behind the scenes."

Speaking of monsters and evil gods, Lei Movie finally did not look gentle, the cold sky light flickered in her eyes, and the terrifying murderous aura swept wantonly.

This thunder god, but he was born as a shadow warrior, and what he is best at is killing.

"Kiirai Island? Are there any residents over there? Wang Daoyi asked with some confusion.

Monster attacks naturally attack people.,The place of Kiyorai Island.,When he came to Inazuma before,Kiyorai Island was full of thunderbirds' remnant souls-thunderstorms that are now swept by Lei Yinquan.。

"Well, the Traveler has solved the Thunder Sound Quan and reopened the seal, and some of the old people from Seirai Island have returned there, and now the Shogunate Army is also trying its best to persuade them to leave."

Ray Movie said.

For those old people, there is no good way for Lei Movie, people just want to return to their hometown before they die, and die in their hometown, what can you do?

"What about Watatsumi Island?"

"I sent an order to Watatsumi Island to send troops to resist the monsters, and the current god miko agreed, and in return, the shogunate would increase material aid to Watatsumi Island."

"That's good, it seems that after this time, the relationship between Watatsumi Island and the shogunate can be eased a little more."

"I hope so, I'll tell the shogunate to help the Watatsumi Island Sergeant as much as possible during the battle."

"Ha, I believe that at this time, Sangonomiya Kokomi is also saying the same thing as her soldiers."

The idea of the Ray movie and the heart of Sangonomiya is the same,

Watatsumi Island and the Inazuma shogunate must be at peace,

In this way, it will be possible for the people on both sides to live a good life.

This Shogunate's appointment is also an opportunity for Sangonomiya Kokomi to promote reconciliation between the two sides.

Presumably, under the orders of the two supreme leaders of both sides,

When the time comes, there will be a scene of 'harmony and friendship' on the battlefield.

When the war is over, both sides will become comrades-in-arms, whether those fighters want it or not.

But

"However, you still have to pay attention to the militant faction in the shogunate, not everyone is eager for peace."

Wang Daoyi opened his mouth and reminded.

Lei Ying bowed slightly: "This, I know, everything about the Inazuma warriors comes from me, the desire for victory flows in every vein of their body, it is not correct to forcibly suppress their desire for victory, I will bring some militants to the front." ”

After a pause, a faint purple flashed in Ray's eyes: "As for those who want to provoke the war between the shogunate and Watatsumi Island again, they will not end well." ”

What the Ray movie said will not end well,

Probably a worse price than death.

"In that case, it's for the best." Wang Daoyi also smiled.

Since the cooperation between Inazuma and Sumeru has been promoted, and it is a win-win cooperation,

Having a stable Inazuma is the best for Sumeru.

The various specialties of Inazuma can also enter Sumeru and the desert stably through the cooperation of the two sides.

And all kinds of special goods produced in the desert can also enter the market of Inazuma through the cooperation channel.

Only when the political situation remains stable can the economy circulate and the market prosper.

"It's still early, why don't we play a few games?"

"I can't ask for it."

Two gods play against each other in the castle tower.

And on the other side,

Inside the embassy on the outlying islands,

The game between Nafis and Kamisato Ayato is also going on.

"In any case, Ambassador Nafis, no matter what, it is impossible for Inazuma to import grain only from Sumeru, and the final bottom line I can give is that Inazuma will give priority to purchasing grain in Sumeru at the same price."

As the biggest problem of Inazuma, the lack of fertile land is an unavoidable pain for the people of Inazuma.

Compared to the Great Plains of Mondstadt, which was blown out by the wind gods, the Qingce Village opened up by Liyue over the centuries, and the abundant products of the Sumeru Rainforest.

Inazuma is really miserable, only the main island of Inazuma has arable land, and the other islands are either barren or affected by disasters, not to mention Watatsumi Island, and its own food needs to be replenished by fishing.

If we want to free our people from the tedious agricultural production, the food problem must be solved.

In Inazuma's case, it is impossible to meet the needs of the people anyway, so it is better to secure a minimum amount of arable land, then switch to agriculture and handicrafts, and start importing grain.

"Okay, then write the priority in the regulations, let's talk about tariffs, tariffs on grain, this should always be reduced!"

At this time, Nafis did not look like a high-ranking sage in the Akademiya, but like a vendor in the Treasure Street.

For a little 'small profit', in the god of Aya, people go to great lengths.

However, many scholars and social staff members next to the two of them felt that it was normal.

After all, it is a state exchange, and even a ten-thousandth of a point of tax will be raised into a huge number in a huge transaction.

With some tariff savings, perhaps the Akademiya will have the funds to support the research of a few more scholars.

"Tariffs on grain can be exempted from the shogunate's procurement, but I would like to increase tariffs on other high-end alchemy items and luxury goods."

Kamisato Ayato nodded at Nafis, not only willing to reduce the customs duties on the grain, but even willing to directly exempt from taxes.

However, the scope given is the scope of the shogunate's procurement, that is, if Sumeru wants to dump grain on Inazuma and sell it privately, the shogunate will still impose high taxes.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayato also imposed high tax restrictions on the high-tech products that the Akademiya was best at, as well as luxury goods that were not needed by the common people of Inazuma.

It's not that Inazuma doesn't want those high-grade alchemy products, it's mainly that the destructive power of Inazuma's handicraft industry is too great, think about it, a country that can build Gundam, and export high-tech to an agricultural country, it won't take long to directly destroy the social structure of this agricultural country.

As for luxury goods, this is all the same, something that is not beneficial to the country, generally only high-ranking officials and nobles like it, and it is normal to levy high taxes.

Tax-free on luxury goods is the most brain-dead approach.

Nafis did not refute Kamisato Ayato's statement: "High-grade alchemy props, this kind of thing, we will also make restrictions, only the Inazuma people who have the permission of the Inazuma shogunate will be allowed to purchase, as for luxury goods, this doesn't matter." ”

In the eyes of scholars, those high-tech products that cannot be produced on the assembly line are the real luxuries.

As for the decorative luxuries that are said by the folk, scholars do not look down on them.

Unless it is an antique, or a social product with research value, scholars will pay attention to it.

"Thank you for your generosity and friendship, thank you very much." Kamisato Ayato once again thanked Nafis.

Nafis said that only the Inazuma shogunate was allowed to procure, and this would give the Inazuma shogunate a very large voice.

"Don't rush to thank you first, the Akademiya has opened up commercial exchanges with the outside world, and our products are not only sold to Inazuma, Liyue, Mondstadt, Fontaine, but we don't care if someone smuggles them in Inazuma."

Smuggling, in state-to-state exchanges, non-governmental smuggling activities will inevitably occur.

After all, the greed of capital will not make them obediently pay the high taxes.

There is no distinction between large and small capital.

"You can rest assured that the Kanding Council will supervise Inazuma's business activities."

Kamisato Ayato smiled and threw the question to Kandei Priest.

When the time comes, if the Kanding Commission mismanages it, it will not be too late for the Society Commission to intervene and seize power.

"Mr. Ambassador, it's not too early, it's better to rest and eat first, and we'll continue the rest of the regulations tomorrow."

"Okay."
