Chapter 147: The Biggest Gossip in Liyue

Keqing did not refute Mu Yang's words. Indeed, just as Mu Yang said, she did not need to worry about Zhong Li being taken advantage of by Tartaglia.

She only needed to worry about whether Tartaglia's budget was enough for his and Zhong Li's consumption.

You must know, Zhong Li's consumption is not low at all!

Perhaps this is the difference between a human and a god?

After all, for the Geo Archon, Mora itself is something he created, so there is no need to care too much; he can just spend as much as he wants!

But he doesn't know that his casual spending on a daily basis might be an amount of Mora that ordinary Liyue citizens could never earn in a lifetime.

Of course, Keqing wouldn't say much about this; anyway, it wasn't her own money being spent.

She even wished Zhong Li would spend more of Tartaglia's Mora!

"By the way, Ningguang intends to open Liyue's own bank!" Keqing then said softly, "Since the Northland Bank moved in, many large and small money houses in Liyue have gone bankrupt."

"They are simply no match for the Northland Bank."

Previously, Ningguang was wary of the Tianxuan and Tianji stars and could not open Liyue's bank; on one hand, it was to attract deposits from Liyue citizens, and on the other hand, it was to facilitate investment, as well as for the construction of Guili Plains."

Mu Yang was enlightened upon hearing this.

To rebuild Guili Plains, relying solely on Liyue's current fiscal budget is very difficult.

It is also impossible to let Keqing and Ningguang work for love, using their own Mora or their family's Mora to build Guili Plains; that is impossible.

Even if they were rich, they couldn't do that, and besides, such development would be too slow.

"Are you trying to develop real estate?"

"Indeed, if you want to develop Guili Plains as quickly as possible, financing through a bank, developing real estate, and then selling the land and houses is the most effective path."

"Moreover, Liyue Harbor is indeed a bit too crowded. If Guili Plains can be rebuilt, it would be a good opportunity for those merchants and big families!" After pondering for a moment, Mu Yang added, "However, do not forget to supplement the laws and regulations."

"You don't need a seventy-year limit or anything, but property tax is a must. Paying taxes annually based on the value of the land can also supplement fiscal pressure."

Keqing's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Sure enough, coming to you, Mu Yang, for such things is never wrong!"

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this."

"Speculators and the like are the most annoying!"

"Liyue must resolutely prevent such things from happening, and the property tax cannot be low, otherwise many people will definitely try to cheat and make a big profit. This can also keep housing prices at a relatively safe level."

"It is just a pity that in Liyue Harbor, property tax cannot be promoted unless the Geo Archon forces it; otherwise, just Ningguang and I would definitely not be able to do it."

There is one thing Keqing herself cannot say: if she really did that, she would need to completely break ties with her own family.

Although Keqing does not believe she cannot succeed without her family.

But in the process of building Liyue in the future, she still needs the help of her family.

Without the support of her family, her efficiency in building Liyue might drop by at least two levels.

The biggest real estate developer in Liyue is Keqing's own family!

Of course, Keqing has not used her family to seek benefits for herself; the business between Liyue and her family is all conducted according to Liyue's rules.

While using her family, Keqing is also secretly guarding against them, and has even prepared to stab her own family in the back.

"Hmm, just be careful about this yourself, and at the same time, don't develop real estate too blindly, otherwise you might be bitten back!" Mu Yang continued to instruct Keqing, "Of course, given Liyue's current situation, it is entirely possible to rebuild a city as magnificent as Liyue on Guili Plains."

"Moreover, the geographical location of Guili Plains is better than Liyue Harbor. In the future, you can completely build a road to Mondstadt and discuss it with Qin; it would be beneficial for both countries."

The more Mu Yang spoke like this, the brighter Keqing's eyes became. She suddenly stopped talking and just stared at Mu Yang silently.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yang looked at Keqing with suspicion. For some reason, he had a sense of crisis. Could that silly woman be thinking of something?

"Mu Yang, why don't you come and help develop and build Guili Plains!"

"We can completely tell the Geo Archon about this; I believe he will not refuse to give you this power."

"When the time comes, we will build Guili Plains together; that will be our child!" Speaking of this, Keqing seemed to have thought of something and changed her words, "That will be our crystallization!"

Mu Yang's expression became a bit subtle upon hearing this. Although he wouldn't refuse having a child with Keqing!

But asking the Geo Archon for power—A-Qing, did you misunderstand something?

Actually, I don't need Morax to give me power; in fact, I am Morax's superior!

It's just that not many people know about his identity as the Heavenly Principles.

"Eh? Are Brother Mu Yang and Sister Keqing going to have a child?" Fortunately, at this time, Klee asked the two of them in surprise.

Her voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around them. Previously, Keqing and Mu Yang could restrain their voices, and except for Klee, no one else could hear their whispers.

They just thought this young couple was being intimate!

The fact that their Yuheng had such a moment was actually something the people of Liyue were happy to see.

But what is this little girl saying now?

Keqing and Mu Yang have a child?

Big gossip, definitely big gossip!

If it weren't for the great purge of Liyue's upper echelons during this period, Keqing being pregnant with Mu Yang's child would definitely be the biggest news in Liyue recently.

"I'm not, I don't! Don't talk nonsense!" Being watched by so many people, Keqing waved her hands incoherently.

But what she got in return was the expression of others saying, "Do you think I believe you?" Keqing could only look up at the sky silently.

She had wanted to be sentimental and ask Mu Yang to help her, but it was ruined by Klee.

But could she blame Klee?

She couldn't; Klee is just a child, what bad intentions could she have?

Moreover, she still needs Klee's help later!

Without Klee, those cliffs on Guili Plains cannot be easily dealt with!

"Let's go!" Seeing Keqing like this, Mu Yang sighed lightly and stroked the head of the bewildered Klee. What a good child, what a good wingman!!

I'll take you out to blow up fish more often in the future!

Oh, right, there seem to be many gods in the Dark Sea; I can completely take Klee to blow up gods!

Inside the Three Cups 'Round the Port, a Fatui member came to Tartaglia's ear and whispered a few words, then hurriedly retreated.

Zhong Li, who was listening to the story silently, cast his gaze toward Tartaglia beside him.

At this moment, Tartaglia's face was also extremely subtle. After hesitating for a while, he said to Zhong Li, "~Mr. Zhong Li, Mu Yang is back, and it seems the Yuheng is pregnant with Mu Yang's child. Should we send a gift?"

"???" Two big question marks appeared on Zhong Li's head.

Zhong Li also knew about Mu Yang's return.

Ningguang had even invited him to the Jade Chamber before.

However, considering that there was a Tartaglia beside him to pay the bill, and Ningguang and the others all knew his identity, if he went, Ningguang and the others wouldn't be able to relax. ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
