Chapter 70: Establishment of the Seven Archons

"Old man, we don't like war either."

"But we are not afraid of war!"

"Since the country needs us, we will naturally go without hesitation!"

"That’s right, in this era, except for our Liyue, there are constant conflicts everywhere else. We are fortunate to have the protection of the Geo Archon and the Immortal and others. Now that the country needs us, we have no reason not to go!"

"Right! Join the army! Serve the country!"

These young people were filled with enthusiasm, and everyone’s face showed excitement.

It made the old man feel dazed.

Under Jiang Yan’s vigorous development, it was not just Liyue’s commerce that flourished.

In terms of education, Jiang Yan emphasized the importance of the unity of family and country, sparking a new wave of thought among the youth.

Without a country, how can there be a home?

For a time, the enthusiasm of Liyue’s youth to join the army soared.

But at the same time, this also made the citizens think that their country was about to start a war.

Jiang Yan issued another announcement.

He stated that this recruitment was a normal recruitment phenomenon and not that the country was about to start a war.

This establishment of the navy was to ensure the safety of future maritime trade. With the protection of the Geo Archon, Liyue was very peaceful.

Liyue would not actively intervene in a war, nor would it easily start one.

With this announcement, the rumors among the citizens gradually disappeared.

In fact, for the citizens, whether to recruit or not was not important; what was important was whether there would be a war.

As long as there was no war, it was fine.

It was not that the citizens were afraid of war.

With the Geo Archon, the Immortal, and a group of Adepti, Liyue’s combat power could be said to be unprecedentedly strong.

Especially in this period when the other six nations had not yet been established.

Just like that, the recruitment for the navy was in full swing.

Jiang Yan did not intend to expand it to a scale of nearly 100,000 like the Millelith of Guili or Qingce at once.

The initial navy recruitment was only for 10,000 people.

Jiang Yan built a group of houses on the gathering place of the Geo Spears (later unified as Guyun Stone Forest) as the first training base for the navy.

These people stayed on Guyun Stone Forest near Liyue every day, constantly training.

Two months later, the first warship designed by Jiang Yan and Cloud Retainer was successfully launched.

Jiang Yan named it the Guili!

At this moment, the Liyue Navy was officially formed!

And with the continuous production of warships, the Liyue Navy would one day be as grand as the army!

In the 304th year of Liyue, the neighboring Mondstadt snowfields officially established the nation of Mondstadt, building the capital, the City of Mondstadt, on the island in the middle of the lake.

Barbatos used his great power to blow away the wind and snow of the Mondstadt snowfields, and the gale shaved off mountain range after mountain range.

He turned the originally barren and desolate Mondstadt snowfields into a nation of birds and flowers, with gentle breezes.

Then, after about ten more years, the other five major nations were established one after another.

In the same year, supreme power came from the sky, summoning these seven winners of the Archon War to Celestia.

No one knew what happened on Celestia.

Jiang Yan did not follow, because he knew that after this summons, the world would be divided into seven nations, and the era of the Seven Archons would officially arrive. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====

Sure enough, a few days later, after Morax returned, he had an extra Gnosis of the Geo nation in his hand.

With the establishment of the Seven Archons system, the Archon War period officially ended.

And Jiang Yan quickly carried out his plan, establishing diplomatic activities with the neighboring countries of Mondstadt and Sumeru.

Third floor of Yuehai Pavilion.

Jiang Yan and Morax sat face to face, and on the table between them lay a chess piece that was flickering with light.

This thing was the Gnosis.

"I heard that after the Anemo Archon Barbatos returned to Mondstadt, he handed Mondstadt over to human rule and disappeared himself?"

Morax asked Jiang Yan.

"Pfft, I want to laugh when I think of this. I really don't know what this Anemo Archon is thinking."

Jiang Yan laughed loudly as if he had heard something fun.

You really are yourself! Barbatos, who doesn't do his job!

"Although Mondstadt is known as a nation of freedom, it shouldn't be this free. Barbatos just ascended to the position of a god and did this..."

Morax’s tone carried worry for the neighboring country.

"Hey, hey, hey, you are the Geo Archon of Liyue, not the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt. Why do you care how others do things? What, you don't want to play 'sudden disappearance' with me too, right?"

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at Morax.

This old guy’s current thoughts were a bit dangerous!

"Hmm? Not a bad idea."

"Anyway, with you in Liyue, there won't be any trouble."

Morax said as if joking.

"Forget it."

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and lay on the chair like a salted fish.

"You are really using me like a beast of burden."

"Hehe, most of the government affairs are handled by your Ganyu. Tell me, where are you tired?"

Morax glanced at Jiang Yan and sipped his tea.

Hmm, the tea from Qingce Village is getting better and better...

"By the way, how are the preparations for visiting other countries at the beginning of next year?"

Morax put down his teacup and asked.

This was a request Jiang Yan made to Morax after he took the position of one of the Seven Archons.

As the first nation established among the seven, Liyue naturally had the strength to visit other countries and provide guidance.

It was also mainly to show off its muscles and demonstrate Liyue’s national strength.

However, Jiang Yan had a purpose in doing this.

He wanted Mora to start flowing into other countries and gradually occupy the economies of the other six nations.

In the plot of his previous life, no one knew what Morax had done for Mora to be the mainstream currency of the entire Teyvat continent.

But Jiang Yan had come, and to a certain extent, he had changed the history of Teyvat.

So Jiang Yan didn't know the future direction.

And economic trade occupied a dominant position among countries in peacetime.

Now that other countries were initially established, Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to let his own Mora flow into other countries.

Of course, *cough, cough*... it would be even better if he could pick up some treasure chests along the way...

*Hehe!*

Listening to Morax’s inquiry, Jiang Yan nodded.

"The specific preparations are almost done. This time, the first stop is Inazuma."

Jiang Yan sipped his tea and said calmly.

"Inazuma?"

Morax recalled the gentle purple figure he saw on Celestia.

"That’s fine. Inazuma is an island nation and must have a strong demand for overseas trade."

"Using Inazuma as a starting point is indeed a good choice."

Morax agreed with Jiang Yan’s idea. ===== CHAPTER 174 =====
