The Liyue Qixing were also very happy; this unstable factor was finally removed, and no geological changes were caused. The Chasm and Mt. Aocang could be reopened.
What? You ask about explaining it to the public? That's not difficult; haven't many lawbreakers been caught recently? Just pin the blame on them, and Liyue's public security has also greatly improved during this period. Whether it's the common people, officials, or the army, everyone is happy.
In addition, Tianquan Ningguang, upon learning that a large part of Azhdaha's loss of control back then was due to the excessive mining by the people of Liyue, which damaged the ley lines, and coupled with The Chasm's appearance indeed detracting from Liyue's urban landscape, not only were there legal miners but also a large number of Treasure Hoarders illegally mining.
Therefore, extremely strict restrictions were placed on mining in the mining areas, with a very grand and reasonable justification.
A large part of Liyue's prosperity is built upon its rich mineral resources. However, mineral resources are ultimately limited, and Liyue has a history of mining for over three thousand seven hundred years. Even the richest mineral reserves cannot withstand such unchecked exploitation.
If one day our mineral resources are depleted, but Liyue does not have new industries to support its prosperity, will our national strength decline as a result?
Therefore, we should plan ahead. While our mineral resources are not yet depleted, we should seek new avenues, support new industries, and ensure that Liyue's prosperity remains unaffected.
This forward-looking policy, once proposed, was met with widespread controversy, but the Liyue Qixing still insisted on passing the bill.
Many mining areas in Liyue began to have heavy troops stationed for supervision, and the annual output of ore began to be strictly limited. It was precisely because of this reason that, although the output of high-quality ore in Liyue decreased significantly, the price of ore increased considerably, especially for ore exported abroad, where prices even multiplied several times over.
Between this increase and decrease, Liyue's annual revenue from mineral resources actually increased compared to before. This made other high-level officials who knew the details admire Ningguang even more. So, business could be done this way; they had been selling their ore at a loss for so many years.
As for Zhongli and Azhdaha, this pair of good friends, being reconciled, Yuto actually didn't care about Azhdaha's departure. Anyway, he had already signed a summoning contract with him, and he could be teleported over from a distance anytime, anywhere when needed.
A summoned beast, after all, should be allowed to do as it pleases when not needed. Summoned beasts also need to have their own lives.
What's more, if Azhdaha were to stay by his side all the time, he would have to expend energy to look after him. Having someone willing to help Azhdaha integrate into Liyue Harbor voluntarily, why not?
However, Zhongli, this penniless consultant, said he would look after him a bit; how exactly did he plan to look after him? He wouldn't add another freeloading consultant to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, would he?
If that were really the case, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Hu Tao. The future bills, multiplied by two, she would probably be dancing with joy, wouldn't she?
At this moment, at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hall Master Hu, who was bored at the counter, suddenly sneezed, her body shuddered violently, and she instantly regained her spirits.
Strange? Who's thinking of me? Is that consultant fellow badmouthing me? That guy disappeared for ten days as soon as he left, and he hasn't even sent back a bill during this time. Did something really happen? No way, right? Never mind, I'll go to Bubu Pharmacy and bury Qiqi to calm my nerves.
