RNP Chapter 387 Food Crisis
Chapter 387 Food Crisis
The bright morning sun cast a warm glow. At this moment, Ye Li packed his suitcase and walked out of the hotel. As soon as he went downstairs, he ran into Yae Shenzi with a charming smile on his face. He couldn't help but wonder:
"Isn't this Miss Yae? What brings you to me today?"
"I saw that Mr. Ye Li bought a lot of things recently, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
"Ms. Gongji is really curious. I just bought some local specialties and planned to give them to my friends as gifts when I return. Miss Yae, could it be that you have taken a fancy to something and want to buy it back to see it?"
"Mr. Ye Li, you are joking. I am just curious. Besides, I came here this time because I have something to ask you."
Facing the serious gaze of the Eightfold Son of God, Ye Li understood what the other party meant. He was most likely here to ask about the Fatui.
"Since Miss Yae has invited me, let's go to a private room in a nearby restaurant."
Ye Li did not refuse. He picked up his suitcase and brought Yae Shen Zi to the restaurant that Zao You had introduced before. He chose a private room and entered.
When the two of them took their seats and ordered some snacks to the table, Yae Shinko picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried tofu and chewed it slowly, then said:
"I wonder how much information Mr. Ye Li has about the Fatui before. The evidence we have collected so far can only bring disgrace upon them. It is still not enough to drive them all away."
"Even the evidence of destroying the shrine, which triggered the evil spirit, is not enough to drive them all away? What are you thinking? This little bit of evidence is not enough?"
Ye Li was confused. Based on his understanding and the current situation in Inazuma, destroying the shrine would be enough to get the Fatui into trouble. The best outcome would be to ruin the diplomatic reputation of the Zhidongdong Kingdom.
Facing Ye Li's puzzled look, the Eightfold Son of God was somewhat helpless, so he took out a report from the Eye of God space, pushed it in front of Ye Li, and said with a heavy tone:
"Because of the isolation order and the war, Inazuma's current food reserves are completely insufficient, and Inazuma currently needs to import food resources until winter.
But as long as the Eye Hunting Order is not removed, the war will continue. The little guy Kamisato has done his best to support the civilians between many families and the two magistrates. And as the chief priest of Narukami Taisha, my ability is limited.
Therefore, I want to collect as much supplies as possible to maintain the status quo before the evidence of the Fatui is exposed. I came to you this time to buy enough resources from Liyue, so that we can have the confidence and time to check the Fatui. "
After listening to the long speech of the Eightfold Son of God, from the Fatui's diplomacy to the food problem, the details and the correspondence of the tables made Ye Li look at him with a little sympathy, but he said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"Ms. Yae, I understand the problem you mentioned, but aren't most of the resources controlled by various families? Why don't you find a chance to report the evidence and get some benefits? This will also alleviate the situation you just mentioned."
"Although Mr. Ye Li's method is useful, it can only solve the urgent problem temporarily. The corruption of many Inazuma families has reached its bones. It will take time to replace them with a group of truly knowledgeable people."
"I understand what you mean. At present, your generals ignore state affairs and only underestimate the owners of Eternity and the Eye of God. Coupled with the corruption of the two officials and the intervention of family forces, the entire Inazuma has entered the initial stage of its demise."
"Mr. Ye Li's understanding is a bit extreme and biased, but it's almost there. The longest we can maintain the balance is only two months. If we want to extend this time, we must have enough food support."
Ye Li rubbed his temples with a headache. Currently, except for coming out to see the handkerchief given by Zhen, Lei Dian has been staying in seclusion in his Pure Land all the time. General Lei Dian is also stubborn and doesn't care about the truth of the government, which has been concealed for so long.
This wife of Inazuma, on the surface, looks bright and happy, and seems to be a decent person, but behind the scenes, there are many bones of her, and she is madly testing the brink of destruction. This makes Ye really admire the talent of this pink-haired fox in front of him.
"As for food, I will contact the Southern Cross Fleet to transport large quantities of imports regularly once a month, but your Mora must also be sold at the market price. This is the bottom line."
"Thank you Mr. Ye Li for introducing me. On behalf of all the members of the shrine and the priestesses of Narukami Taisha, I would like to express my sincere gratitude."
"Okay, this is the only thing I can help you with right now. Whether or not Inazuma can live a second life depends on your own luck."
Ye Li stood up helplessly, took a look at the clean plate and said:
"How are you handling the matter regarding Bayun Island?"
"Most of the shrines have been repaired, but the influence of the evil spirits still exists. Currently, people have been transported to islands near the outlying islands to adapt to survival, and a lot of evidence related to the practice of Tianling has also been collected.
Fortunately, thanks to your reminder, such tragedies have only occurred twice, and have not increased exponentially."
When Yae Shinko talked about this matter, her expression became very cold, and the lightning flashing in her eyes also proved how seriously she took this matter.
"It seems that your intervention has caused them to change their plans a little bit, so you came here to talk about the food shortage."
"After all, the areas suitable for farming were affected by war and evil spirits, and were basically unusable during the period of national isolation. I don't find it strange that they came up with such a crazy plan to solve the internal food crisis."
The Eightfold Son of God returned to normal, picked up the contract that Ye Li had written before he stood up, signed his name, and then said with a smile:
"If you have the chance, please come to Naruto-taisha Shrine. The little miko really want to meet you."
"Forget it. I don't want to be asked questions. If you really want to ask, you can go find a guy named Wendy. He is the author of the book."
"Oh my, Mr. Ye Li is really generous with information. He even revealed the real name of the great bard author. If I have the chance, I will go to Mondstadt to invite him."
The conversation between the two eased and livened up the originally dull atmosphere.
In the waters of the offshore port, hundreds of large ships appeared on the sea surface and after a while, they docked at the port location arranged for them by the society.
Dozens of minutes later, Ye Li followed the Eightfold Son of God to this area. The former wanted to follow Beidou's line back to Liyue, while the latter just brought the contract along to shorten the time for signing the grain transportation contract.
The two men came to the coast at the edge of the port and looked at the ships that were more than 30 meters, more than 50 meters, and some more than meters high. Many Inazuma sailors who had never seen such a scene were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They had the illusion that their own big ships were just small shrimps.
Yae Shinko remained unmoved, she was already used to this scene, after all, this was not the first time Beidou had come through a thunderstorm.
Just as the two were admiring the boat and the expressions of passers-by around them, a rather surprised voice came from behind.
"Hey! Isn't this the guest gentleman of Wangsheng Hall, Brother Yeli? I didn't expect you to come to Inazuma as well. Could it be that girl Hu Tao asked you to come?"
