Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

Everything was ready.

Now, they were just waiting for the opening of Liyue Bank.

Ningguang had finalized the necessary preparations.

After confirming that everything was in order, she decided to officially open the bank the day after tomorrow.

As a demonstration, Ningguang planned to deposit a portion of her wealth into the bank.

She even intended to exchange some of her money for the new Mora.

Not only that, she hoped that Liyue's high-ranking officials would support this initiative.

If Liyue's leadership took the lead, it would encourage the people to follow suit.

Citizens would feel reassured to deposit their savings into the bank.

They might even exchange their old Mora for the newly issued currency.

For Ningguang's request, Liyue's top officials had no objections.

In fact, they fully supported it.

Once the bank opened, they, too, would deposit their family's wealth.

Or convert it to the new Mora.

After finalizing these matters, everyone got busy with the final preparations.

They made sure everything was set for the grand opening.

The following evening, Takumi returned home and had dinner with Klee and the others.

As they ate, the radio suddenly broadcasted an important announcement.

[Breaking News]

[The Emperor's New Edict]

As soon as these words were spoken, many citizens of Liyue stopped whatever they were doing.

People immediately gathered around their radios, listening attentively.

If this had been an ordinary announcement, it might not have garnered much attention.

But since it carried the name of the Emperor, it was of utmost importance.

Morax's authority in Liyue was absolute.

A new edict from him was something everyone needed to hear.

Even bustling restaurants fell silent.

Anyone who dared to speak loudly now risked getting reprimanded.

[The Lord of Geo has identified certain inefficiencies in the Mora system and has implemented improvements.]

[Without altering its core material, a new form of Mora has been introduced.]

[The old Mora remains valid, but new denominations will now be available: 10 Mora, 100 Mora, and 500 Mora.]

[Those who wish to exchange old Mora for new can do so at Liyue Bank.]

[Starting tomorrow at 8 AM, Liyue Bank will officially open to the public.]

[A more convenient savings and withdrawal system awaits you.]

[For further details, please refer to the official bulletin boards at the General Affairs Department.]

"Brother Takumi?"

"What is the new Mora?"

Klee, who had been eating, blinked in confusion as she listened to the announcement.

Not only her—Diona and the others were equally curious.

Hearing Klee's question, Takumi smiled.

He immediately took out some of the newly issued Mora and placed them on the table.

"Here, this is the new Mora."

"In the future, when you buy expensive items, you can use these."

"It makes transactions more convenient."

"You won't have to carry large amounts of small Mora anymore."

Seeing the new Mora, the little girls' eyes widened in amazement.

Diona, in particular, was excited.

"This is great!"

"Now I won't have to struggle counting coins at the tavern!"

"I hate doing math!"

She looked thrilled.

With the new system, collecting payments would be much easier.

Takumi nodded.

"Exactly."

"Plus, some merchants have a bad habit of splitting Mora into smaller pieces."

"It's not always reliable."

If someone's total purchase didn't add up to a full Mora, vendors would often break a coin into smaller fragments.

This was similar to how silver pieces were used in ancient times.

It was an inefficient and cumbersome method.

But with the introduction of paper Mora, things would change.

Takumi also considered creating even smaller denominations in the future.

The little girls eagerly discussed the new system.

Klee even decided that she would exchange all her money for the new Mora first thing tomorrow.

She was excited to see how it worked.

Hearing her enthusiasm, Takumi nodded.

"That's fine."

"However, I suggest that in a few days, you withdraw your money from Northland Bank."

"Then deposit it into Liyue Bank instead."

"Right now, you're still using Northland Bank's deposit slips."

Takumi himself had a considerable sum stored there.

He, too, would need to withdraw it and move it into Liyue Bank.

The only question was whether Northland Bank had enough liquid Mora to support a sudden surge in withdrawals.

Thinking about it, Takumi smirked.

Meanwhile, at Northland Bank, Childe had also received the news.

His expression changed immediately.

He quickly issued an urgent order to his subordinates:

"Move quickly!"

"Send word to Mondstadt overnight and have them transfer Mora here!"

"Also, contact Sumeru and other regions."

"We need to ensure that Northland Bank in Liyue doesn't run out of Mora!"

This was a serious crisis.

If they didn't handle it well, Northland Bank's business in Liyue would collapse.

The introduction of new Mora was a game-changer.

For the first time, Childe felt truly unsettled.

He immediately used special communication methods to contact Snezhnaya.

The bankers there would need to step in.

This mess wasn't his responsibility alone.

The entire city of Liyue was now abuzz with speculation.

Businessmen were shaken by the sudden news.

But many citizens were excited.

Some even dug up their hidden stashes of Mora overnight.

They wanted to be among the first to deposit their savings into Liyue Bank.

Was this truly the sole purpose of Liyue Bank—to introduce new Mora?

The savvy merchants weren't fooled.

They knew that Liyue's financial system was about to undergo a massive transformation.

Many people wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Merchants in Guili Plains were particularly aware of this.

They also recalled the buildings Takumi had secured a few days ago.

Everything made sense now.

Some business associations that had hesitated to buy those properties were now regretting their decisions.

Had they known earlier, they would have invested immediately.

Now that those properties were off the market, they had missed a golden opportunity.

Some even felt as though they had lost millions in potential profits.

Meanwhile, those who had already purchased buildings in the area were ecstatic.

Because property values were already rising.

Liyue Bank's headquarters?

That title alone made the location incredibly valuable.

In the future, everyone would need to visit this district to deposit money.

And while they were there, they might stop by local businesses as well.

For commercial deals, having the bank next door would be a major advantage.

This was a golden opportunity for those who had positioned themselves correctly.
