After the contract was signed, Jiang Bai didn't stay long and left directly after lunch.
This trip was very rewarding, and the risk was almost none.
After all, their business is insurance in nature, which means there is no need for him to take action unless the client dies.
Even though the adventurer's mortality rate is quite high, on average he only goes out three or four times a year.
Maybe when Diluc gets old, he won't need to deal with this business.
Hutao was in a good mood after learning about the gains from this business. With a wave of her hand, she decided to be extravagant and take him to the famous Huafang in Liyue for dinner!
Speaking of this beautiful boat, we must mention Zhuxifang.
This is the largest painting boat in Liyue. This painting boat is beautiful, brightly lit, magnificently decorated, elegant and exquisite, and exudes the atmosphere of money that can only be enjoyed by the upper class.
The people who sing and perform on it are all famous actors whose money is hard to find.
Jiang Bai followed Hu Tao and boarded the small boat at sunset.
"It's rare to make a big fortune and show you the world."
"Is this place special?" Jiang Bai looked around. Apart from the luxurious decoration, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
"The people sitting here are all the upper class people of Liyue. Eating is not the main thing. Drinking tea, listening to the theater and chatting is the fun of Zhuxifang."
Hu Tao took Jiang Bai up to the deck of the second floor and found a seat with a good view to sit down.
Jiang Bai glanced at the menu in Hu Tao's hand, and was shocked by the prices on it.
Just a pot of tea costs 7,788 molas. Is this tea? This drink is Mora!
"Master, let's go"
Although he didn't pay, Jiang Bai really didn't want to be taken advantage of.
With this Mora, what's wrong with him drinking?
"Let's go. It's not like we can't afford it." Hu Tao had no intention of leaving at all.
It’s a rare luxury, so naturally you should enjoy it.
Okay, what can Jiang Bai do?
He looked boredly at the stage below. Behind the screen on the stage, various musicians played and sang, and in front of the screen was a dancer with flying sleeves and a delicate figure.
Many people on the boat were watching her dance and were deeply attracted by her dancing.
Jiang Bai looked at it and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He took a closer look, oh, isn't that his master Zhongli!
He hurriedly pulled Hutao, "Master, don't rush to order now, Mr. Zhong is over there, let's go get some food!"
Hu Tao heard this and looked down in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, their guest Qing was having dinner with others.
"Let's go!" Hu Tao closed the beautifully made menu and went downstairs in two or three steps, arriving behind Zhongli.
Zhongli was talking about the Rock King Emperor with several scholars who studied the Rock King Emperor.
"Sir, you have underestimated the power of Lord Yan. As a professional archaeologist, I would like to correct some of your views."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao became interested and stood behind them to listen, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"As we all know, the world's first mola was cast by Lord Yan himself thousands of years ago. Based on my research and some speculation, I think this very historic mola was used as a token, a secret It’s been passed down.”
"But didn't this mola appear at Feiyun Chamber of Commerce last time and was bought at a sky-high price?"
"No, no, no! According to my research, that is definitely not the first mola. This first mola should have been well kept by the Seven Stars as part of some unknown ceremony when the Seven Stars took over."
"No, no! This [First Mora] is not that simple. It must contain some mysterious power. My next historical book is to boldly demonstrate the latest results of my ten years of painstaking research! Then That’s it—Prince Yan used this mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword!”
Several scholars spoke one sentence each, each with their own opinions, but Zhongli remained silent.
But when the scholar mentioned this, the attention of everyone at the table was attracted.
"One sword and one sword?"
The scholar who spoke proudly unfolded the fan in his hand, "Now I will only reveal a small part: if you get the sword, you can become the Supreme of Liyue, and if you pull out the sword, you can be crowned the King of Liyue!"
To be honest, Jiang Bai might have really believed this before he knew Zhongli's identity.
But the Emperor Yanwang they were talking about was standing in front of them, which made Jiang Bai want to see the expression on Zhongli's face now.
It’s not that he doesn’t respect teachers, it’s just that he wants to see it!
Ever since, he walked up to Zhongli and met Zhongli's eyes.
Jiang Bai showed his neat white teeth and his smile was very innocent.
Zhongli: Don’t think I didn’t notice you were here a long time ago.
He pretended that Jiang Bai and Hu Tao did not exist and rejected the views of these scholars.
"I disagree. Not to mention the authenticity of the sword research, the original intention of the so-called mora and the so-called money is just a bargaining chip to facilitate the signing of the contract.
"It is the Emperor's original intention to guide humans to use Mora for transactions. Presumably, this first Mora should have been treated as a coin by the Emperor and spent as usual..."
The history confirmed by the emperor, but no one believed it.
"I think Mr. Hanxue's hypothesis is very reasonable, but this gentleman, with no evidence, is so confident in Prince Qingyan's foresight?"
Faced with doubts, Zhongli said seriously: "No, my statement does not contain praise or criticism, it is just stating a fact."
Han Xue, who said his guess about Yi Dao Yi Jian, waved his fan and showed disdain.
"Come on! Do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan!"
Zhongli: "."
If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, Jiang Bai would really like to interview Zhong Li about how he feels now after hearing this. Does he have the urge to reveal his true body and show off their faces?
"What you said is wrong! When it comes to understanding Prince Yan, my guest is one of the best in Liyue Port!"
Before Zhongli started to refute, Hu Tao couldn't help it anymore.
How could someone say that to their guest? This situation must be reversed today!
She stood behind Zhongli and put a hand on Zhongli's shoulder. The support buff from the master of the Hall of Rebirth was superimposed invisibly.
"Before the emperor created the mola, Liyue had no concept of transactions and contracts. What our guest said was that the emperor spent the first mola to guide humans to trade, which is much better than the one-sword-one-sword pattern you mentioned. !
"Without the transaction that the emperor first made, how could the current contract have come about? How could the thousands of merchants gathered in Liyue now come about?"
Hu Tao snorted, "Why can you become the Supreme of Liyue just by getting a sword? You can be crowned the King of Liyue by pulling out the sword. It's just like writing. How could such a childish thing be done by a foresighted emperor?"
