"almost." After Su Yu finished breakfast, he got up to wash his hair and tidy up his clothes. "Among the Six Kingdoms, Morax's Heart of God is the most difficult to obtain. Obtaining his Heart of God requires patience." "It won't be long before we return in triumph with six God's Hearts." Chapter 132 The forbidden area of human traffickers "His Majesty is wise and powerful, and we will definitely be able to successfully complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty." The lady with hidden mirror was inspired and her heart was surging. She played an important role in serving Su Yu during this trip, and she will be promoted to a higher rank after returning home. But he also thought that when that day came, he would no longer be able to follow Su Yu every day and night, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart that this mission to the seven countries would last longer. "Tell me about the situation with the Liyue Immortals and the Seven Stars."
After breakfast, Su Yu began to listen to the work reports of his subordinates. In the study, four directors of the mission came in one after another. They stood in a row respectfully, their eyes full of fanaticism. The Lady with a Hidden Mirror was the first to report: "His Royal Highness is really a master of calculation! Among the 'Seven Stars of Liyue', only the 'Yuheng Star' was Qingqing and lent the immortal 500 billion molas. Several others declined the offer for various reasons. Our spies reported that almost all the immortals were very angry, and when they left, they all had stern faces and scary eyes." Su Yu said calmly: "The 'Three Eyes and Five Manifestations Immortals' are arrogant and arrogant. After this incident, they will wake up a little bit." "His Highness consumed the mora in their hands and also helped Miss Keqing resolve the conflict. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone." The Hidden Mirror Lady continued: "By the way, Your Highness, Miss Xiangling from Wanmin Hall sent a message this morning. She expressed her gratitude to you again. Because of your patronage, Wanmin Hall's business has been extremely booming recently." "And at dusk yesterday, the immortal suddenly came to Wanmin Hall and asked for the dishes you ordered last time, which once again boosted the business of Wanmin Hall. Miss Xiangling requested to contract you to provide three meals a day during your mission to Liyue. .” Su Yu replied: "You go ahead and make arrangements. Xiangling's cooking skills are quite to my liking. Since it's rare to come to Liyue, I'll just eat the food from their Wanmin Hall." Hearing this, Lady Hidden Mirror suggested: "Your Highness, why don't you pay a high salary to dig up Xiangling and go to the winter, so that you can have delicious meals every day. If Miss Xiangling doesn't agree, I will send someone to kidnap her!" Just after she finished speaking, the lady in the hidden mirror saw Su Yu's scrutinizing gaze and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have said anything about kidnapping Miss Xiangling." Su Yu returned to the desk and sat down. While drinking tea, he said: "They are both types of green tea, but winter green tea and Liyue green tea have two different flavors. This is because the soil and water support the people. .” "Xiang Ling is just like this tea leaf. The culture and soil of Liyue have made her what she is. If she leaves Liyue, she will lose her roots and soul, and the food she makes will no longer be delicious." Only in Liyue can Xiang Ling develop her cooking skills and realize her value. Taking her to the Winter Country will only destroy Xiangling and be harmful to her future. "My subordinates are wrong." The lady with a hidden mirror promptly admitted her mistake and she should not have had the idea of kidnapping someone. What His Royal Highness the Prince hates the most is human traffickers. He once personally led people to arrest the human traffickers in Winter Kingdom. In less than a month at that time, the human traffickers in Solstice Kingdom disappeared without a trace. They either fled abroad or were imprisoned and faced heavy penalties. All in all, today's Solstice Kingdom is known as the "forbidden land of human traffickers".
As long as the prince is around, the traffickers will not dare to step into the winter. "Your Highness, Miss Xiangling also said that after you left that day, Guoba missed you day and night and drew your back with ash on the ground. She hopes that you will find time to go back and see Guoba again." Su Yu replied: "I know." After the hidden mirror lady reported her information, a female manager of the mission next to her then reported her work to Su Yu. "Your Highness, according to your instructions, we purchased ten tons of books from the academy in Liyue and have shipped them back to Zhidong. This collection of books will greatly enrich Zhidong's library." The cultural development of Zhidong has always been a task that Su Yu attaches great importance to. Every time I go to a country, I buy a lot of books. Knowledge is power, he emphasized it more than once to the members of the Solstice Mission during every meeting. "Did you send the books you prepared for the Queen and Columbia together?" "Everything is in order." The female supervisor answered hastily, but her voice was a little nervous. Because the book Su Yu asked her to buy for the Queen was a popular romance novel in Liyue. This kind of novel is mostly liked by young girls who are just starting to fall in love. She really couldn't understand why the prince asked to buy this kind of novel. She couldn't even imagine the majestic and cold Ice Queen sitting on the Iron Throne reading romance novels. The other book sent to the Executive Officer [Girl] is a music book. To be precise, it is a children's song. She remembered that Columbia liked epic poems, and the collection of Mondstadt bards was more suitable for the temperament of the [girl]. Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Liyue's poems and songs are quite good. Buy a few copies for your family and friends." "As ordered, Your Highness." The female supervisor bowed, made a solemn salute, and then exited the study. Naturally, I was very excited. If it weren't for this mission to a foreign country, she might never have had such an opportunity to get up close and personal with Su Yu. A male supervisor next to him reported respectfully: "Your Highness, Yaoguang Xing, one of the 'Seven Stars of Liyue', sent someone to send a letter of intent for import. He officially represents the Black Rock Factory and hopes to import a large number of muskets and firearms from our Winter Country. Artillery and advanced warships.” For some reason, after the male supervisor reported this information, his voice suddenly choked up. Before Su Yu could ask, he took the initiative to apologize and said, "Your Highness... I am speaking for my father, thank you." Su Yu put down the tea cup and raised his head to look at him: "Oh? Why did you say that?" The male supervisor made an impassioned speech: "My father was the last quartermaster 20 years ago."
"At that time, Zhidong's national strength was not as good as Liyue's, and its military equipment was far behind Liyue. It took my father a whole year and more than [-] visits to Liyue to convince officials at all levels including the 'Liyue Seven Stars' , and finally successfully purchased a batch of weapons and armor to equip the border guards fighting against the invasion of border monsters, which greatly reduced the casualties of soldiers." "My father once said before he died that he hoped that the Winter Country would grow stronger and never have to ask for help." "Twenty years later, we did it. Today, Liyue came to buy our equipment." "My father's spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace." Speaking of this, the male supervisor actually had tears in his eyes. Su Yu stood up, walked to him, and patted his shoulder to express comfort. "How does it feel to feel proud?" "I'm telling you, Your Highness, I'm very excited and want to cry." Su Yu thought about it for a while, then smiled and ordered: "Then let it be, you will be solely responsible for this matter. Tell Yaoguangxing clearly how your father begged them back then, and now let them beg you twice as much. Did you hear that clearly?" "Yes, Your Highness!" Chapter 133 Invitation from a wealthy businessman The descendants of the former Quartermaster paid tribute to Su Yu again and then retired. Next, "Shaoguangxing" will definitely have a difficult life. He will use various methods to make things difficult for "Shaoguangxing", just like Liyue made things difficult for his father. The strength of Winter Kingdom is not just a slogan, but also reflected in all aspects. The third person in charge of the mission is a woman wearing glasses with short hair and looks quite capable—— In fact, she made a great contribution to the city of Mondstadt. After the restoration of the Lawrence family, she was responsible for all coordination work. She directly represented Su Yu in communicating with Youla and the head of the Lawrence family, Schubert. And she worked so hard because she was a female official promoted by Su Yu, and now she is a role model for women in the Winter Kingdom. Although the Solstice Kingdom is ruled by the Ice Queen, due to Solstice's advocating for force, physically weak women account for a small proportion of Solstice Kingdom's official system. This is evident from the fact that among Fools' eleven executives, there are only four female executives. After Su Yu started reforms until winter, he increased his efforts to promote female officials. She still remembered that on the day she was promoted, some conservative officials in the palace complained about it, but the resistance was eliminated after Su Yu said that "women can hold up half the sky." "Your Highness." "Dozens of wealthy businessmen in Liyue have sent invitations. One-third of them want to invite you to a banquet or trip, one-third invite you to discuss business, and one-third... " When the short-haired supervisor said this, he looked at the hidden mirror lady and said hesitantly: "There are still one-third of the wealthy businessmen who want their daughters to be your concubines or personal maids." The face of the lady hiding the mirror changed. She served Su Yu all the way and felt a sense of crisis for the first time.
Seeing that Su Yu didn't express his position for a while, the short-haired female supervisor thought that Su Yu was unhappy and immediately said: "Your Highness, all subordinates will reject it." "Let all the daughters of the wealthy merchants in Liyue come. The time is tonight. By the way, let them all dress up beautifully." Su Yu replied unexpectedly. The short-haired female supervisor was stunned. Your Highness is preparing to take a concubine! But based on her understanding of Su Yu, she felt that this matter would not be as simple as it seemed. The biggest difference between the prince and other aristocratic officials in Zhidong is that he is very strict in his private life. He is young and energetic but not indulged in sex and sensuality. He never spends the night casually with ordinary women. If it were other nobles from Zhidong who were on the mission to the Six Nations this time, they would have been very drunk along the way. The prince's purity is also reflected in the fact that Her Majesty the Queen has rewarded many beautiful women in the Winter Kingdom, but he has not received any of them. Therefore, she did not believe that the prince would take a concubine in Liyue. There must be the prince's deep intention behind this matter. But with her shallow wisdom, she couldn't figure it out for a moment. She lowered her head and accepted the order and said: "Yes, Your Highness." Su Yu asked calmly: "Is there anything else?" "Ji Fang, the proprietress of Wanwenjishe, hopes that if you have time, you can give lectures to the students taking the imperial examination again. The concept of 'benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust' that you explained in the school last time caused a huge stir among Liyue scholars. Sensation. Boss Ji Fang also said that major academies in Liyue plan to include the 'Sage's Sayings' you said that day into their teaching textbooks." Su Yu explained some stories from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period at Wanwenjishe that day, quoting the words of Confucius, Laozi, Sun Tzu and other saints, which instantly shocked the entire intellectual and cultural circles of Liyue. The sayings of ancient saints have been tested for hundreds of thousands of years on earth and have been proven to be true. These truths are extremely advanced concepts in Liyue, and naturally aroused heated discussions among scholars and students. "Boss Ji Fang also said that the dean of Liyue Academy would like to invite you to be the honorary lecturer of the academy and give a public class to the students of the academy." Liyue Academy, built by Morax, has a long history of thousands of years. It is the highest academic institution in Liyue and a holy place for Liyue's ideological and cultural circles. Today, half of the officials in Liyue are graduates of Liyue Academy, and many students from other six countries have chosen to study here, which shows the influence of this academy. As for the honorary lecturer title of Liyue Academy, less than ten people have ever received it in history. In order to invite Su Yu to give a lecture, Liyue Academy was full of sincerity. Su Yu smiled helplessly: "This is Morax's responsibility. I can't do it for you." The ideological level of the words of those saints can be said to be at its peak. He talked too much. How could Zhongli talk eloquently in front of his students in the future? "But please reply to the dean of Liyue Academy. If the students really want to listen to my lectures, they can come to study in Winter Winter Country." "Yes, Your Highness." The short-haired female supervisor had a premonition that a large number of young students from Liyue would go to Zhidong to study. The fourth director is a man with an aquiline nose and a strong build. He serves as a military attache in the mission. "Your Highness."
The military attache saluted respectfully, and then took out a special box with extremely complex incantations drawn on the surface. "This is what the members of the patrol team found last night at the door near dawn. At first, the brothers thought that someone had accidentally dropped the jewelry box. After opening the box, they discovered that there was a piece of finger inside." "This object exudes evil and weirdness, so I sent it here for His Highness to make a decision." At this point, the military attache seemed to be frightened. "Your Highness, please be careful. The guard who accidentally opened the box suddenly fell into a coma and has not woken up until now."
