Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 271 Special Economic Zone

Paimon took a breath. If she were the shop owner, she would definitely raise the price!

Who would miss the opportunity to earn more Mora?

This is a microcosm of Xumi today. The sudden increase in currency has caused the demand of the people of Xumi to exceed the actual output of goods.

Ying was still a little puzzled. Even if the great sage was very rich, he couldn't possibly expand the economy of the entire Xumi to this extent with his own strength, right?

"There are other reasons, right?"

Nashida smiled and nodded.

"Part of the reason is that I intentionally facilitated this. After discussing with Elhaisen and the Great Ci Tree King, we developed a plan to aid the desert. However, in reality, few people are willing to go to the desert because the environment there is too harsh..."

"By adjusting the profits of some pillar industries, we have significantly increased Xumi's tax revenue. These Moras have also been used to aid the desert, but it still cannot solve the problem of manpower shortage..."

"However, if everyone in Xumi City starts to consume Mora at an unusually rapid rate, some people will choose to migrate out, to the border or to the desert, because there, economic expansion is almost non-existent."

This is also the reason why Nashida was embarrassed to speak. As a god, she was unable to make her people go to the desert voluntarily by relying on her own status. Instead, she had to use this kind of coercive means to achieve her goal.

But the more Ying listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Was this something Nashida could do?

She stared at Nashida's eyes with suspicion.

"Narcida, was this plan yours?"

"...This was discussed by Sines and Elhaisen..."

Ying nodded in satisfaction. That was right! In her eyes, Nashida was like a little white flower. How could she possibly come up with such a wicked idea?

If it were Hinesh and Elhaisen...

Hiss! That doesn’t seem to make sense!

While Ying was trying to recall when Hines and Elhaisen became so shameless, Paimon had already given up thinking.

Anyway, it has already happened, so what does it matter whether you understand it or not? She only knows that the prices in the desert are not so outrageous now!

Then let Ying take her to the desert to eat, drink and have fun!

Ying found out the location of Cynes from Narcida, and set off again with Paimon. It's been a long time since I last saw him, and I miss his wallet even more...

Hines was leisurely drinking tea with Egolia and playing the popular card game in Xumi. The only thing that made Hines unhappy was that he was not good at playing cards.

"Hines, I win again~"

Egolia put away her deck and looked at the depressed Sines with a smug look on her face.

"Yeah, yeah, then how should you punish me? Why not just make me keep you warm?"

As he was speaking, Xine suddenly stood up and was about to run to Egolia to hug her, but at this moment, a familiar voice came from afar.

"Hines! We're back!"

Hines became even more depressed after hearing Paimon's voice!

Damn you little brat! Don't even think about me treating you to a meal this month!

Eugolia laughed sweetly at the look on Shines' face, then walked over to him and took his hand.

"Okay, this expression is not suitable for meeting friends, smile quickly."

Listening to Egolia's coaxing tone, what else could Hines do?

Smile a little~

Paimon and Ying entered the room and noticed that Egolia was holding Shines's hand. Seeing that the two were so close, Ying silently grabbed Paimon and planned to return the same way.

Obviously, they came at the wrong time.

Hines rolled his eyes and dragged two spare chairs to the table.

"Now that we're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The four of them sat together neatly, and Ying also raised her own questions.

"We just met Nashida. She told us about the solution you and Elhaisen came up with to solve the problem of the Xumi people's reluctance to go to the desert..."

After pouring a cup of tea for each of them, Hines said in a slightly serious tone,

"You think that doing this won't drive the people of Xumi into the desert, and that the high prices will make life difficult for ordinary people in Xumi City, right?"

Ying drank the tea in her hand and nodded slightly. Egolia brought some desserts and specially prepared one for Paimondo, placing it in front of her.

Hines drank a sip of tea and looked into the distance.

"Ying, you have to know that change is never immediate. Only gradual progress can achieve the goal..."

"We didn't do this to move them directly into the desert, but just to get them closer to the desert."

"As for the impact of commodity prices on ordinary people you mentioned, you can rest assured in the wisdom of the Great Compassionate Tree King. Even with only a wisp of his consciousness remaining, he can use the World Tree to observe the entire Sumeru. After his assessment, those who would be affected have already been individually compensated..."

"And they were the first group of people to leave Xumi City and head to the border..."

"It's like a herd of animals. Once someone takes the lead and makes a decision, the rest of the members will follow suit."

Ying looked at Xines strangely and then looked at Egolia.

"Egolia, I thought you said that Hines wasn't good at these things?"

Egolia smiled without saying anything, and just raised her chin towards Hines. Hines shrugged casually.

"I'm not good at this, but here are Egolia, the Great Kindness Tree King, the Little Auspicious Grass King, and Elhaisen. I just came up with an idea, and then they perfected it."

It is true that Chines is not good at this kind of political affairs, but hasn't he seen a pig run even though he has eaten pork?

How to avoid everyone staying in the most prosperous big cities?

Isn’t the simplest way to make it impossible for them to survive in big cities?

Prices are rising and the cost of living is skyrocketing. Those who can't stand it will leave, and those who can will stay.

Even if the people who left Xumi City did not go to the desert, they could establish a buffer zone for the desert people to enter Xumi in the future.

Those who stayed behind couldn't sit idle either. You've earned so much Mora, so it's not too much to pay a little more tax, right?

I can only say perfect!

He remembered that when he first expressed this idea, Egolia looked at him in shock, and after a moment she pulled him to meet the Great Tree King.

After the improvement by the Great Mercy Tree King, Hines took the initiative to find Elhaisen to discuss the specific implementation of the "Special Economic Zone Plan".

So, when it finally came to Nashida, He only needed to make some minor corrections and stamp the documents submitted by Elhaisen.

Nashida: ...Why do I feel like my role isn't that significant?
