Keqing didn’t pay attention to what was happening on Uncle Tian’s side, but strode to the chair and sat down.

Uncle Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

“Is there something important you want to discuss?” She looked at everyone.

“It’s not a big deal, let me tell you about the progress on your side first.”

Ningguang looked at Keqing.

Going out so early in the morning, Yuhengxing personally took part in the battle, he must have accomplished a lot, right?

“Well… I’m fine here. Mr. Yamagami and I have finalized the location. It’s in Dihuazhou, near Wangshu Inn.”

“Wangshu Inn?”

The seven stars looked at each other.

This place is a bit special…

“Why run so far? Wouldn’t it be better to stay near Liyue Harbor?”

“Well… I also suggested building it near Liyue Harbor, which would make it easier for us to start construction and save costs, but Mr. Yamagami insisted on setting it up in Dihuazhou.

In the words of Mr. Yamagami, Dihuazhou is located on a strategic road with convenient transportation. It is convenient for communication with Fontainebleau to the west and for contact with Mond’s research institute to the north. In addition, there are many people coming and going in Wangshu Inn, including many scholars and researchers who have gone out, which makes it convenient for them to recruit talents.

I don’t think there is any problem. Although the construction cost is a bit high, it is very convenient for its own development and can be considered a profitable business.

Well… it may be a little inconvenient to contact Liyue Port, after all, the journey is quite far.”

“That’s not a problem. Wangshu Inn can take on the task of communication. Besides, there are many caravans coming and going, so it’s not inconvenient.”

The statement on the mountain is quite reliable and there is nothing to doubt about it.

That area is indeed nice, with convenient transportation, but few people live there, which is why they set up Wangshu Inn here.

Great minds think alike.

“In addition, Mr. Yamagami also applied for a site for the salt of the earth.”

Chapter 53 General Affairs Department: Numb

“Salt of the Earth?”

Is there anyone who would like this place?

“what is it used for?”

“Well… according to what Mr. Yamagami said, the salt in the ground is uninhabited and suitable for some dangerous research projects. However, there are still some ancient ruins there. I can’t make a decision on my own, so I plan to discuss it with you again.”

This is the bad thing about Liyue.

There are ancient relics everywhere, which greatly affect daily construction.

The seven stars looked at each other.

“As I recall, the remains of the Salt of the Earth are mainly underground, right?”

“It’s like this. The main part of the ruins is underground and sealed off. We haven’t been able to investigate it yet. However, only a small part is above ground, and it has been investigated. It’s not of much value.”

“Hmm…what does the seal suppress?”

“According to the news from Wangshu Inn, the seal was placed by the Emperor himself. It didn’t suppress anything, it just sealed off the underground space. That was the territory of the ancient Salt Demon God, and there is no danger now.”

“In this way, there is no need to worry about any adverse effects…”

“Isn’t there an undeveloped island northwest of Ogihua Island? Why don’t we go there?”

“Mr. Yamagami thinks the distance is too close and may not be safe.”

“Ok?”

Several people recalled the terrain of the Dihuazhou area.

Is this close?

So just how dangerous is this dangerous research project?

They suddenly felt a little uneasy.

I heard that the Spark Knights in Mond next door once used a bomb to permanently change the terrain of a place in their area. Would they do the same?

“…I think we should persuade Mr. Yamagami to set up the island northwest of Ogihua Island. After all, the seal was set by the Emperor himself, so I think the Emperor still attaches great importance to this place. What if it causes any damage…”

He hadn’t really cared before.

The ruins are deep underground and there is the emperor’s seal on the surface. What’s so scary about that?

But after hearing that the islands northwest of Ogihua Island were not within a safe distance, he became a little worried. Would the ruins deep underground be affected?

The others nodded in agreement.

After searching for the keyword “Emperor”, Keqing subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she came to her senses and thought that even if the Emperor was left aside, the ruins of the Salt of the Earth itself should be protected.

“Okay, then I will reject Mr. Yamagami’s application for the salt under the pretext of protecting the ruins, and grant them the small island northwest of Ogika Island. I will then grant them more land.”

The Seven Stars had no objection to this, but they suggested to Keqing that she should pay attention to her communication method.

Keqing has a quick-witted personality and communication style, but it is obviously not suitable for rejecting others.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay attention. Besides, Mr. Yamagami doesn’t seem to have a very firm demand for the salt of the ground.”

Keqing recalled Yamagami Hideo’s attitude during their communication.

They were quite insistent on setting up the place near Wangshu Inn, but didn’t care much about other places.

Keqing was also puzzled by this. She initially suspected that the other party knew about the situation at Wangshu Inn.

But Yamagami Hideo gave sufficient reasons, which were quite justified based on the transportation and the mixed nature of Wangshu Inn.

She no longer doubted it.

Keqing didn’t take this matter to heart, but went straight to the next topic.

“Anyway, the site of Dihuazhou has been confirmed. I have already gone through all the necessary procedures. The construction of Dihuazhou can start at any time. It all depends on when you guys will give your approval.”

Keqing took out a pile of documents from her bag and piled them on the table.

Above are the contents of land use application, approval, construction permit, etc., all of which have been signed by Keqing.

Because the project is large in scale, it also requires Yujingtai, which is actually the Seven Stars for approval.

“no problem.”

Several Seven Stars present at the scene quickly glanced at the content and then signed their names.

“That’s good. I’ll go to Yuehai Pavilion and ask Ganyu to stamp it later, and then I can hand it over to the General Affairs Department to start work.”

“Remember to do a good job of handing over.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Tian. I have arranged for several people from the General Affairs Department to move into Mr. Yamagami’s residence. They should have discussed the specific plan with Mr. Yamagami’s subordinates.”

“…”

Uncle Tian on the other side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words back.

He felt that the General Affairs Department might be short of a few staff members again.

He thought, he had to think of a way to not dampen the enthusiasm of this child, but at the same time make her realize that not everyone can work as desperately as she does?

How can I make her understand the importance of combining work and rest?

I hope those unfortunate kids from the General Affairs Department can hold on until he comes up with a solution.

Uncle Tian prayed for them silently in his heart.

“I have almost finished explaining the situation here. What about you guys? What were you discussing just now?”

Keqing received the document signed by Qixing and felt very happy. She even spoke three times faster.

“We just wanted to discuss the issue of increasing production in the Layered Abyss.

Building Liyue’s power system and subsequent railway system requires a lot of resources, and all-round production increases are inevitable.

“Yes. The other links are easy to solve. We can hire more people or spend more Mora to let the workers work longer. However, the problem of the source of mineral raw materials in the Layered Rock Abyss is really… a bit tricky.”

“The Thousand Rocks Army’s presence has not had a significant effect. The workers at the bottom of the Layered Abyss are deeply disturbed and in a state of panic. I have ordered the temporary closure of the bottom and the evacuation of personnel, but the filth is spreading to the upper levels.”

Ningguang summarized the recent situation of the Layered Abyss with a heavy face.

Everyone present looked unhappy.

The Chasm is the largest mineral producing area in Liyue and even in the whole of Teyvat, and it is also one of the lifelines of Liyue.

And now it’s just the critical moment for them to start construction.

On the one hand, the bottom layer needs to be closed, the sites available for mining are reduced, and mineral production is facing a reduction. On the other hand, their demand for minerals is increasing.

They just happened to collide with each other.

Chapter 54 Maybe something did happen, but they shouldn’t take any action

“How about we ask the Great Sage who subdues demons to help us?”

Keqing moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

She has never been able to stand the fact that people always think about the emperor or immortals whenever they encounter any problems.

Under normal circumstances, she would have to say something back.

But the current problem of the Chasm is definitely not something that the Thousand Rocks Army can solve.

Whether it is a god or an immortal, the most important thing is to be able to solve the problem.

But…

“I’m sorry. I’ve already communicated with the Demon-Subduing Great Sage about this matter. He said that he can only alleviate the situation slightly at best, and it’s not a cure for the root cause. If we want to completely solve the problem, the Emperor needs to take action personally, and then there is hope.”

“!”

The seven stars all saw shock in each other’s eyes.

They thought that having an immortal to help would be enough.

A problem that can only be solved by the Emperor himself…

How serious is that?!

Could it be related to the disaster five hundred years ago?

It’s hard not to make the connection.

“I will bring this matter up to the Emperor’s attention during this year’s Immortal Invitation Ceremony, but generally speaking, the Emperor will not interfere in these small matters, and we cannot rely solely on the Emperor. We must find a way to save ourselves.

At the very least, even if we can’t solve it, we must curb the spread of filth and preserve the upper layer of the Abyss.”

Ningguang interrupted their thoughts by speaking.

The Seven Stars fell silent.

What Ningguang meant was that she already had a solution, but the bottom of the Chasm could not be saved.

Maybe it will be abandoned forever.

is this necessary?

They were unsure, so they looked at Ningguang inquiringly, wanting to hear her opinion.

“If you don’t make a decision when you should, it will only lead to more trouble.”

Ningguang’s years of ups and downs in the business world have taught her that she cannot refrain from taking action simply because of huge losses.

If you don’t stop losses in time now, subsequent losses will only increase.

“I plan to set up a formation in the Layered Rock Abyss to seal the bottom of the Layered Rock Abyss and temporarily curb the spread of filth. Naturally, outsiders will also be prohibited from entering.”

Keqing was the first to stand up and support Ningguang.
