If they could truly establish elemental supremacy, it would be absolutely fascinating. But for now, things weren't bad either. Mora was minted in Liyue. The entire Teyvat's currency was produced here, thanks to the Geo Archon's authority. With this, Liyue essentially held monetary supremacy. After confirming that these vehicles were ready for use, Jiang Chen felt quite satisfied.
"Find some people and train them on how to operate these."
"We'll use these vehicles for road construction."
"Guizhong, I'll leave this to you."
Guizhong and the others certainly knew how to operate them. Teaching others could be left to her. Once a few people were trained, the rest would be easy.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Guizhong nodded.
"Alright!"
"I'll train a group of people."
After settling this matter, Jiang Chen turned his attention to Cloud Retainer.
"True Lord, next, I'll need your help to set up production lines for these vehicles."
"In the future, we'll build a large industrial base in the Guili Plains."
"Your mechanical workshops will also be relocated there."
"At the same time, we'll produce various mechanical creations you've designed."
"I believe the mechanical products you create will change Teyvat."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Cloud Retainer became excited.
"Of course!"
"My creations will definitely be a hit."
Cloud Retainer fully agreed with Jiang Chen's description. It was indeed true. Their mechanical creations would surely take Teyvat by storm. Watching Cloud Retainer's enthusiasm, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction. This woman was easy to handle.
Guizhong, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh. She understood exactly what Jiang Chen was saying. But she didn't say much. This was a good thing, wasn't it? Giving Cloud Retainer, the shut-in, a goal was a good idea.
After discussing these matters, Jiang Chen continued testing the vehicles. The creations of Guizhong, the mechanical master, and Cloud Retainer were quite impressive. Both the quality and performance were highly satisfactory. In other words, these vehicles were ready for mass production. After some testing, Jiang Chen left. Next, they would continue production, and once there were enough vehicles, they would gradually be put into use.
Lumine and Paimon stayed behind. Lumine was quite excited about these vehicles. She wanted to learn how to operate them. No one could resist excavators. Lumine said so! Her foolish brother would surely be envious when he found out she could operate an excavator. Unfortunately, she hadn't found him yet. If she did, she would definitely flaunt it. This was an excavator, after all. She still remembered how, during their travels, her brother would always stop to watch whenever he saw an excavator working by the roadside. Despite being able to traverse worlds and possessing great power, both Lumine and Aether had a soft spot for these machines. Their interests aligned surprisingly well in this regard.
As Lumine began her earnest learning, Jiang Chen left and headed straight to the Jade Chamber. Next, he needed to discuss the elemental replenishment stations with Ningguang. This was a great opportunity to make a lot of money. In the future, vehicles would rely on these stations.
Arriving at Yujing Terrace, Jiang Chen took the elevator up to the Jade Chamber. Ningguang had already received word of his arrival and was waiting at the entrance. Seeing Jiang Chen, Ningguang smiled warmly.
"What good news are you bringing me this time?"
If Jiang Chen had come personally, there must be something important. After all, Jiang Chen hadn't visited during this period, focusing on his own tasks. But today, he had come. Ningguang was quite curious.
"The vehicles have been successfully produced."
"And there's an unexpected bonus."
"If handled properly, we can make a lot of money."
Jiang Chen didn't hide anything and directly explained the situation. Hearing this, Ningguang's interest was piqued.
"Oh?"
"Really?"
Ningguang's eyes sparkled. If it was about making money, she was wide awake.
"Yes!"
"Really."
"And it's a sustainable income."
As Jiang Chen spoke, he walked inside. Ningguang followed closely. The two quickly entered the Jade Chamber, where Jiang Chen detailed the concept of elemental replenishment stations. Ningguang called for her secretary to record everything Jiang Chen said. As Jiang Chen explained, Ningguang understood the situation. In short, once these mechanical vehicles became widespread, they would rely on elemental replenishment stations. Cloud Retainer's replicated energy core was just perfect.
As Jiang Chen continued, Ningguang's eyes grew brighter. She clearly saw the business opportunity. As long as it was a necessity, it could make money!! This was an unchanging truth.
"Have Ganyu discuss the specifics with Cloud Retainer."
"Since many of these creations are hers, she naturally deserves a share."
"Clarify the shares and such."
"Also, it's time to regulate Liyue's crystal resources."
"After all, in the future, these will be tied to energy."
"Although Liyue has plenty of these ores, we can't sell them cheaply, right?"
Jiang Chen sat on the sofa, discussing these matters with Ningguang. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ningguang nodded.
"I understand."
"I'll make the arrangements. At the same time, I'll buy up all the crystals on the market."
"Currently, those crystals are used for forging weapons."
"Without war, the only ones needing weapons are the Adventurers' Guild."
"So the prices aren't too high."
"Now is the perfect time to buy up all those crystals."
With prices low, wasn't this the best time to purchase? Although she didn't know the conversion cost for elemental energy, it shouldn't be too expensive.
"Good!"
"You handle it."
"These matters are your expertise."
Jiang Chen had come mainly to inform Ningguang about these things. How to arrange everything was not his concern. Of course, he wouldn't forget his own benefits. He would get his fair share. After all, many of these ideas came from him. There would be benefits. Shares and such were a given.
After discussing these matters, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something else.
"There's one more thing."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ningguang stopped and looked at him.
"Go on!"
There was more?
Immediately, Ningguang became serious.
"It's about traffic laws."
"If these vehicles become widespread in the future."
"Then traffic laws will be necessary."
"Without rules, chaos will only lead to casualties."
"Since it concerns the safety of Liyue's people, you should start preparing early."
The legislative power in Liyue rested with Ningguang. This matter had to be discussed with her.
