Chapter 228

"This time, it is a cooperation between our Liyue and Inazuma. Inazuma sending a large number of people to help is, for them, a solution of last resort."

"After the situation inside Inazuma improves, they will inevitably have to return to Inazuma. We cannot keep these people."

"Even if these people want to stay in Liyue, we cannot keep them." Ningguang said earnestly to Keqing.

Keqing's face carried a trace of unwillingness. She knew the Inazuma people; these people are relatively diligent in their work. Most importantly, Keqing had previously discussed with Yae Miko that the wages for those Inazuma people only needed to be one-third of what they were in Liyue.

In Keqing's view, these people are definitely useful tools.

In the future process of building the Guili Plains, these people will be able to make no small contribution.

It's just a pity that those tools are not permanent.

"At least we can benefit each other for the time being. Handing the Mora directly to Kamisato Ayaka will put everyone at ease." Ningguang said pointedly: "Moreover, we are now allies."

"The most critical thing is that we can now use this matter to strive for some benefits for ourselves, such as the establishment of the Liyue Bank." Hearing this, Keqing's eyes lit up: "Are you going to establish the Liyue Bank?"

"I have long found the Northland Bank an eyesore. If the Liyue Bank is established, I can also withdraw the Mora from the Northland Bank and then start the Liyue Bank."

"Closing the Northland Bank directly is impossible. After all, they haven't completely torn off the mask with Snezhnaya and the Northland Bank on the surface here. Their surface behavior is clean, and they are even under our supervision."

"In other words, at most they can use the money earned in Liyue to do something, but the money deposited by Liyue's commoners in the Northland Bank cannot be moved away by them." Ningguang sneered and said: "Back then, the Geo Archon agreed to let the Northland Bank enter Liyue."

"Perhaps he was also worried that those guys would just roll up the Mora and leave."

"However, we cannot target the Northland Bank from an official level, but fair competition is still possible."

"Don't forget what the Fatui did in Inazuma. As far as I know, the Northland Bank in Inazuma was directly raided by the Raiden Shogun, and all the Mora was confiscated for Inazuma's national use."

Keqing frowned: "But for what the Fatui did, the Raiden Shogun indeed had reasons to do so, but we don't."

"But I want to open the Liyue Bank in Inazuma." Ningguang said with burning eyes: "You must understand how difficult it is to open a bank in another country, especially to grow big and strong in that country."

"The Northland Bank can do this, relying more on the strength of the Fatui to do some shady things in the dark."

"Now that Inazuma has no Northland Bank, it is a good opportunity for us to participate. As long as the Liyue Bank takes root and sprouts in both countries, then going to Mondstadt later, I believe Jean won't refuse either."

"Possessing the right to mint coins, if we don't open a bank, it really would be too unfair to ourselves."

"But Inazuma might not agree to us going there." Keqing frowned: "I heard that after the bloodbath of those nobles in Inazuma, they obtained a lot of Mora. That is the accumulation of Inazuma for hundreds, or even thousands of years. Now, the Mora in the Raiden Shogun's hands is probably much more than what you and I have on hand."

"Why would she allow us to open the Liyue Bank in Inazuma?"

"Because we can give up huge benefits, we can even hand over the regulatory power, and we can even give up eighty percent of the profits." Ningguang said seriously: "We can even choose not to make money."

"Then why?" Keqing was completely dumbfounded. Giving up eighty percent of the profits meant their Liyue Bank would have no earnings in Inazuma.

Ningguang is definitely not the type of person to do thankless work, but what is this for?

"On one hand, it is to strike at the Northland Bank; on the other hand, it is for Liyue's influence, and at the same time, to make commodity trade increasingly convenient. Perhaps on the issue of the Liyue Bank, I may not be able to profit much, but in subsequent aspects, Liyue can gain many benefits."
