I have to say, Acting Grand Master Jean's move can only be described with three words: steady, accurate, and ruthless!
Since you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who cause the problem. This is too ruthless.
Send all these problematic young men and Damselette to Inazuma for the Shogunate to handle. They can become farmers, join the army, or engage in business; it's all up to them.
However, there is only one requirement: these individuals, unless under special circumstances, will never obtain a permit to legally enter Mondstadt territory.
Mondstadt, with just one Diplomatic Ambassador position, saved itself a huge amount of trouble. If you really calculate this deal, Mondstadt didn't lose out.
Did Inazuma lose out? Actually, no. After nearly two years of civil war, Inazuma is now extremely short of people and labor.
To quickly restore the population, Miyashiro, after becoming Regent, began implementing various policies to encourage childbirth.
However, encouraging childbirth cannot immediately solve the problem of labor shortages. Inazuma is now bustling with activity. To develop Seirai Island as quickly as possible, Inazuma has mobilized all available idle personnel.
Therefore, the Inazuma Delegation's visit to Liyue and Mondstadt had another important purpose: to attract foreign populations to Inazuma. Whether for work or business, as long as people come, they are guaranteed to earn at least double what they would in their own country.
As for whether those young masters and ladies of the Lawrence Family dare to bring their bad tempers to Inazuma, they can try.
In their hometown, they could show off their power through their family's influence, but in a strange land like Inazuma, who would tolerate these prisoners from another country?
Both Acting Grand Master Jean and Eula stared intently at Miyashiro, afraid that he would reject the request.
Eula, in particular, was not only concerned about her position as Diplomatic Ambassador but also because she wanted to find a new path for those underage children.
As a member of the Lawrence Family who sided with the Knights of Favonius, she herself suffered discrimination and prejudice from Mondstadt's residents, not to mention those who didn't side with the Knights of Favonius; it must be even harder for them to move forward in Mondstadt.
In such an environment, the seeds of hatred in their hearts would quickly take root and sprout, leading them to do things that would further disgrace the Lawrence Family. This would, in turn, be detrimental to the healthy growth of the twenty-one children she had previously selected.
Therefore, whether considering Eula's own perspective, the underage young men and Damselette, or the twenty-one innocent children, their going to Inazuma with her might also be a good choice.
As long as she, the culprit who caused their families' ruin, remains in Inazuma, their hatred will only focus on her and not affect Mondstadt City.
As for Acting Grand Master Jean, she purely felt that this method was the best she could think of at the moment. Mondstadt's residents came to the Knights of Favonius headquarters every day to protest, demanding the swift trial of the Lawrence Family.
Jean was also driven crazy by them and had finally come up with a good idea that achieved three goals at once, so she naturally didn't want to be forced to give it up because of Miyashiro.
Finally, they both saw a smile on Miyashiro's face, and they subconsciously thought that the matter was settled.
However, what Miyashiro said next made their relieved hearts tense up again.
Miyashiro: "Acting Grand Master Jean, why do you think I would agree to such a thankless task? Besides Eula, you should also know what kind of people the other members of the Lawrence Family are. Although Inazuma is currently in urgent need of labor, we don't just take anyone.
I know what you're thinking; you just want me to help out for Eula's sake. But honestly, considering what those people from the Lawrence Family did to Eula, I've already shown them mercy by not personally taking action."
Jean was somewhat surprised by Miyashiro's answer and subconsciously glanced at Eula. These people are all Eula's relatives and juniors, and Eula chose to follow you. Don't you, as her brother-in-law, want to take care of them?
At this moment, Jean suddenly had a strange feeling. Miyashiro's aura at this moment was completely different from before. The last time she saw such an aura was that night when Miyashiro publicly accused Senior Diluc of overstepping.
This made Jean keenly realize that this Regent had a clear distinction between public and private matters. In private, he could be very witty and humorous, but once national interests were involved, he would immediately change his style.
Realizing this, Jean decisively abandoned the idea of playing the emotional card with Eula. Trying to use personal connections as an excuse when discussing official business was a very foolish thing to do.
Jean: "Regent, you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to use my relationship with Eula to achieve my goals. This matter, from beginning to end, is just a transaction.
That group of underage Lawrence members has become a burdensome and thankless load for Mondstadt; we just want to get rid of them as soon as possible. And the terms of the transaction I offered are to exchange Eula's appointment as Mondstadt's Ambassador to Inazuma for their relocation to Inazuma.
If the Regent feels this transaction is not worthwhile, then simply refuse. However, in that case, Eula's position as Diplomatic Ambassador would be open to discussion, as it's not easy to go against public opinion and promote Eula three ranks to Diplomatic Ambassador."
As Jean had expected, Miyashiro couldn't help but frown after hearing her reply.
Miyashiro was unwilling to let such a good opportunity be delayed by a few insignificant people.
Thinking of this, Miyashiro no longer pressed the issue and calmly said, "Acting Grand Master Jean, you've misunderstood. I'm not unable to accept your proposal; I just feel that the beneficiaries are the Knights of Favonius and Eula, and Inazuma is inexplicably taking in a group of young masters and Damselette who have never lifted a finger. I just feel like we're losing out.
How about this, Acting Grand Master Jean? As you know, Inazuma has been isolated for many years and has suffered from prolonged warfare. It's a situation where everything needs to be rebuilt, and we urgently need all kinds of skilled professionals. I wonder if I could seek out a group of professionals within Mondstadt to come to Inazuma? Of course, they would definitely agree, and the treatment would be excellent."
Miyashiro's words made Jean instinctively recall something. The leader of the hunters in Springvale had once confirmed to her that people from the Inazuma Delegation had contacted him, wanting to bring some professionals in wild boor breeding to Inazuma to cultivate wild boars that could adapt to Inazuma's environment. The treatment offered was unbelievably good.
Acting Grand Master Jean found this perfectly normal and didn't suspect much. She nodded and said, "Regent, your emphasis on talent is truly a blessing for Inazuma. If both sides agree to go to Inazuma, the Knights of Favonius certainly has no reason to obstruct, but I hope Inazuma will honor its promise of preferential treatment for these talents."
Miyashiro extended his hand and said, "Naturally. So, we've reached an agreement? Happy cooperation!"
Jean: "Happy cooperation!"
Their hands clasped tightly, signaling the end of the evening's discussion.
The moment Miyashiro left the Knights of Favonius headquarters with Eula, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and burst out laughing. This made Eula, who was beside him, feel a little flustered. What was wrong with him?
