My shop has been closed for many days, and I've been relying entirely on friends for help. But those people in the Kanjou Commission are still insatiable, wantonly raising tax rates, and still want more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The middle-aged man named Kurisu sighed helplessly: \"Harrison, everyone is having a very difficult time, and there's nothing I can do. How about I wait and go to the superiors of the Kanjou Commission to report this again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Report, report, it's always reporting, and there's never any substantive progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Harrison was very angry. He was also one of the foreign merchants stranded here after the Sakoku Decree was promulgated, originally thinking of coming to a foreign country to earn a profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, once the Raiden Shogun gave the order, after being exploited by those bastards several times, he instantly became a pauper.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key was that they were trapped in Ritou, controlled by the Kanjou Commission, and couldn't even leave if they wanted to, only able to serve as fat sheep to be bled dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, when they lost all their value, they would pitifully end up as beggars.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu's face was bitter. How could he not be angry? But reality was cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Living under someone else's roof, they couldn't even succeed if they wanted to rebel, only able to be suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was not a hot-headed youth like Harrison who would act regardless of consequences. He had a family and concerns, so he just muddled along, and unless it was a last resort, he would always be the one to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Harrison, take my advice, forget it, you can't fight them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reaching middle age, he had long since learned to compromise; Kurisu didn't want to make a big scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Harrison clearly wasn't willing. He said indignantly: \"President, you can endure it, but I can't. We've been pushed to this point, there's no way back. Even if I fail, I'm going to bite a piece of flesh off them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Leaving behind these words, the hot-blooded youth turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kurisu's face changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do? Don't be impulsive! Harrison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the youth, whose mind was currently clouded by anger, couldn't listen to anyone's words at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu was very anxious; he didn't want to see this companion do something irrational and suffer punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he had no way to stop him, only able to watch the other party leave, because even stopping Harrison would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While he was at a loss, the voice from the side made him look over subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, are you Kurisu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lumine looked at the middle-aged man with deep-set brows and felt some sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having experienced the three-million Mora incident, she had some understanding of the situation of foreigners living on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had just been hiding on the side and heard the end, knowing that the young man might do something stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu was a bit puzzled: \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had never seen this person in Ritou. Could it be a newly arrived foreigner? Judging by her appearance and clothing, she indeed didn't look like a local Inazuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a thought, he asked in surprise: \"Could it be that you friends are here to seek the protection of the International Trade Association? Did the Yuanguojian Office make you bleed heavily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paimon put her hands on her hips and answered bluntly: \"We just heard your conversation. You can't even protect yourselves, and you still want to protect us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Don't expose the truth when people are struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sighing, the wrinkles on Kurisu's forehead deepened again, and he sighed: \"Sorry, I let you see a joke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lumine shook her head slightly and explained her purpose: \"We are friends of Thoma. We heard you were in trouble and came to help. I wonder what difficulties the association is facing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Difficulties?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu couldn't finish listing them all at once; it was truly difficult everywhere, and he had even gotten used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Sakoku Decree was actually fine; the main thing was that there were people bleeding them dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>All kinds of high taxes, unreasonable rules and regulations, and collecting Mora under some unheard-of names at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What was most unacceptable was that a new tax law had been issued some time ago, requiring the tax to be paid not in Mora, but in Crystal Marrow goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, it was another new method of exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listening to Kurisu's complaints, Lumine and Paimon were greatly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was like wanting to fry them in a pan of oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As if finding a rare outlet for his frustrations, Kurisu poured out his grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, if they weren't Thoma's friends, he would absolutely not have revealed his difficulties so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, what if it reached the ears of those people and they made things difficult in secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You guys really have it hard.\" Paimon's sympathy began to overflow: \"Lumine, why don't we help them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lumine could only agree. She had promised Thoma earlier, and she secretly comforted herself that this was a case of both sides getting what they needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu was overjoyed and told them everything he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the new tax law replaced Mora with 250 Crystal Marrow, but this kind of cargo was becoming increasingly scarce as it was continuously handed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Goods were valued for their scarcity, so the price kept rising until it was sold out, and finally, only one merchant could provide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And that merchant, after monopolizing it, naturally raised the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a period of time, the tax was now almost exceeding the profit; any further and they would have to pay out of their own pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu had thought about discussing the decree with the superiors of the Kanjou Commission, but in this land of thunder, they merchants had no say at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lumine thought to herself that even the commercial capital of Liyue wasn't this ruthless, shearing the same sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Where is that merchant? I want to find him to understand some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Almost the moment Kurisu finished speaking, Lumine keenly sensed that there was something wrong with that merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because she had been played around with in Liyue that she had a stress response; the tool-girl's intuition was very accurate this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She hoped to obtain information about the other party to dig out some unknown hidden secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But there was no need to tell Kurisu this; she would wait until she found evidence before speaking, otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she were wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm, if you want to find him, go to the tree by the seaside in the residential area. That's our usual meeting point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kurisu clearly didn't think much of it and provided the merchant's information very readily.\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-16T01:35:09.233Z","2026-06-17T08:48:50.699Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0d7a123db33315c272fdb3248f7c85786546273c2c6f3fb23a071819655829ba","genshin-raiden-stop-drawing-your-blade-i-can-t-k-chapter-167","genshin-raiden-stop-drawing-your-blade-i-can-t-k-chapter-165",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-raiden-stop-drawing-your-blade-i-can-t-k-cover.jpg"]
