Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me

root! Book! purchase! No! over!

"No, we can't go on like this. The liquidity in my hand is almost at the bottom!" Andre's face darkened.

After spending a lot of mora to buy grain, the nobles realized that something was wrong and planned to use their power to interfere with the war.

But soon, he was stopped by Qin who was well prepared.

Although the current price of food is still unaffordable for many Mondstadt people, it is already more than half cheaper than the chamber of commerce run by the nobles.

More importantly, if the supply of food can be stable, then most of the problems in Mondstadt will be solved.

Therefore, at Su Chen's suggestion, Qin personally led the guards to supervise the business to prevent the nobles from secretly attacking the traders.

In desperation, the Noble Chamber of Commerce can only sell it at the same price. Even if it cannot make a profit, at least it will not let the food rot in its hands.

However, their plan was quickly shattered.

The big chambers of commerce would sell at reduced prices, and all the small vendors would almost agree to lower their prices at the same time. The prices would still be advantageous over those of the big chambers of commerce.

As a result, the nobles can only follow the price reduction.

But their cost price is too high.

Once the price is reduced, it is a fire sale at a loss.

If you don’t lower the price, you won’t be able to sell it.

And the fundamental problem is that after they lower their prices, those small chambers of commerce will also continue to lower their prices, as if they don't have to spend any money - or in other words, their costs are far lower than the current selling price.

Not only that, anything sold by the merchants can be bought at a lower price in these small shops!

Even ordinary people realize that something is not right. Is there a force in Mondstadt that dares to challenge the nobles?

All goods compete with each other on price, which puts those who want to take advantage of the dragon disaster to make a fortune out of the country, and suddenly fall into crisis.

After all, there are monsters everywhere outside the city, and the interests of the nobles have also suffered a lot under the dragon disaster. Many manors have been abandoned, and only the chamber of commerce in the city can make up for their losses.

But now, the Chamber of Commerce's channels are restricted, and it won't be long before they have to use their own money to fill these holes.

At this time, even Qin was shocked.

Inside the office.

The blue-haired young man reported information to Qin.

"...I can only find out that these small vendors are related to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and they seem to have been acquired by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in the past few months. I can't do anything else." Cavalry Captain Kaia shrugged.

"Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?" Qin frowned slightly, "Isn't that the Chamber of Commerce in Liyue? It is said that its scale is comparable to the seven-star level in Liyue, how come it appears here?"

Lisa pondered: "A large chamber of commerce like this has a nose as sharp as a dog. It's not surprising that they appear anywhere, as long as it is beneficial to the situation. My suggestion is not to interfere."

Qin nodded slightly and looked at Su Chen who was drinking tea calmly.

"What do you think?"

"Isn't this good?" Su Chen smiled lightly, "With them here, the nobles will not be able to do whatever they want, and without the food crisis, it will be difficult for the Earth Fire to use this to incite the emotions of the people. At least your The dilemma is temporarily resolved.”

"This is not just restricting those noble chambers of commerce, it is simply forcing them to death. The prices of all commodities have been lowered. Wow~ What a generous move." Kaiya grinned, "It is indeed a chamber of commerce comparable to the seven-star level of Liyue, Liyue Everyone over there is rich."

"That's not necessarily true. Don't you think Su Chen is very poor?" Lisa said with a smile.

Su Chen rolled his eyes, do you believe that I can just take out several hundred million?

"I know this, but... their appearance is really strange, and when was so much food transported into Mondstadt?"

Jean couldn't figure it out.

Since the outbreak of the dragon plague, Mondstadt has been very strict about the management of entering and exiting the city.

If a large amount of food was shipped in, she would definitely get the news as soon as possible.

But no.

Is the so-called Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce really so powerful?

She didn't give her much time to think about this question, because not long after the commodity price war started in Mondstadt, the 'trial' operation on the Earthfire side started again.

Chapter 20 Trial and Desperate Situation [First update]

In the eastern part of Mondstadt, there is an elegant single-family mansion.

The knights rushed to the scene of the crime.

The noble Andre died tragically at home, and obvious flame signs appeared in his house. It was obvious that this was another action of the underground fire.

And being able to successfully kill Andre in the heavily defended noble mansion made all the nobles shudder, as if they were reminded of the fear of being shrouded in the shadow of earth fire some time ago.

I thought that after adding more guards, Earth Fire's assassination operations would be restrained.

However, the results shocked everyone.

"How on earth did they do it?"

The knights were shocked.

All the guards guarding the place were frozen by the frost.

But Andrei was crucified on the cross and burned by flames until only a skeleton was left.

"Such a big move, but there was no movement at all last night, which is enough to show that the assassins are much stronger than them."

After Qin inspected the scene, she said solemnly.

Another nobleman died, and it was Andre, a very influential nobleman.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause a riot among the noble groups.

"Is it the Eye of God?" asked a knight captain.

Only the Eye of God can do this.

Qin did not answer, but looked at Su Chen, who had studied elemental power very deeply and should be able to judge.

After all, not all use of elemental power is related to the Eye of God.

"Hmm...it doesn't look like an elemental bottle or something that ordinary people use."

Su Chen touched his chin.

"Is that the Eye of God?" the knight captain asked worriedly, "I didn't expect Earth Fire to even have a strong Eye of God. Now we are in trouble."

It's not the eye of God, it should be the evil eye.

Su Chen continued to walk upstairs and came to Andre's room. There was only a huge cross inside, which was covered with traces of being burned.

It's just an ordinary flame. If you don't die before being burned, it must be very uncomfortable.

trial.

On the ground, in addition to the symbol of Earth Fire, there was also what looked like a big sword.

That sword was exactly the two-handed sword Su Chen used five hundred years ago.

"It's Rosalind..."

Compared to the title "Ms.", Su Chen prefers to call her Rosalind.

Qin also walked in and looked around the room.

Then he pulled Su Chen to the balcony aside.

"This should be the work of the force that controls Earth Fire."

She has always suspected that there must be another force behind the sudden appearance of the underground fire that had disappeared and caused such a big commotion, controlling and supporting the actions of the underground fire.

Based on the defense of Andre's mansion, even if a strong Eye of God came, it would be impossible to kill Andre silently.

Of course, if there are multiple powerful Eyes of Gods cooperating, that would be a different matter.

If Earth Fire had this level of strength, he would have come out long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.

"What do you think?" Su Chen asked, "Who is behind this?"

Qin hummed and said: "Except for the Fools, I can't think of anyone else, but they have obtained the right to assist. What benefit does killing Andre do to them?"

This is what makes Qin most confused.

What use would killing an Andrei do to a crowd of fools?

But besides Foolish People, she couldn't think of anyone else.

"Actually, it's not important." Su Chen smiled, "Once Andre dies, the nobles will panic again and be attacked from both sides. It will be much easier for them to compromise at this time."

Qin shook her head: "Selfish nobles should indeed be punished, but not in this way. If violence is used to solve problems, what's the use of laws?"

"I don't think so. The law only maintains the stability of the general direction and is a means for managers to govern the country. Since it is a means, you can choose other methods, right?"

At least in Mondstadt, Su Chen didn't feel that laws alone could restrain everyone.

It is even said that most of the laws in Mondstadt today are only established to meet the needs of those noble people. Is it possible to use the law to punish the makers of the law?

Qin suddenly stopped talking.

She knew that she would never be Su Chen's opponent in the debate.

But even so, she still insists on her belief that using violence to punish evil will only breed greater evil in the end.

"You look a lot like him."

Su Chen said with a smile.

"Who?" Qin looked confused, "Who do I look like?"

"An old friend of mine."

Aelendlin, the Lion of Light, is also a noble, and he also upholds the firm beliefs in his heart. As a noble, he has not been assimilated by corrupt ideas, but has his own inner persistence.

Only with such people leading the way can the future of the Knights be promising.

In other words, the Knights need such a person to lead them.

As for Su Chen himself, he actually feels that he is not suitable to be the leader, because absolute rationality means the loss of human touch. An impersonal leader, no matter how well he governs the country, the people will not be happy.

Moreover, while being rational, Su Chen also has many iron-blooded methods.

Renjun? tyrant?
