Chapter 333

Yae Miko looked at Takumi and explained the situation in Inazuma.

"Currently, many people are leaving Inazuma every day."

"If this continues, we will have serious problems sooner or later."

"That's why we came here today, Takumi. Is there anything you can do to help keep our people in Inazuma?"

Hearing this, Takumi was momentarily stunned.

"So, because there aren't enough job opportunities, people are leaving Inazuma?"

"And now you're realizing this is a problem?"

"Honestly, solving this isn't too difficult."

Takumi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

If people were leaving due to a lack of work, the solution was simple—create jobs.

Hearing Takumi's response, Ayaka Kamisato and Yae Miko's eyes lit up with hope.

As expected, Takumi had a plan.

"Takumi, please help us!" Ayaka pleaded.

Takumi nodded and, after a moment of thought, said:

"Electro Crystals, until we find a proper substitute, remain highly valuable."

"Liyue currently imports a large amount from Inazuma."

"They are then transported here for processing."

"If that's the case, why not establish processing facilities directly in Inazuma and transport the finished products instead?"

"This would save a significant amount of time and create jobs."

"To be honest, Liyue is also experiencing a labor shortage."

"If you're interested, I can provide you with the processing technology."

"You could handle everything on Inazuma's side, and then transport the finished goods here."

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Ayaka and Yae Miko exchanged glances.

"That's a great idea."

"It would provide many people with stable employment."

Yae Miko nodded in agreement.

If they implemented this, it could indeed help keep people in Inazuma.

Takumi continued:

"Besides that, Inazuma should also focus on infrastructure development."

"Abandoned buildings should be demolished and rebuilt."

"Factories and workshops should be established."

"All of these would create job opportunities."

"Additionally, roads need to be developed."

"If you plan to modernize the power grid, you'll need to construct facilities for wire manufacturing."

"You should also establish small appliance production plants."

"All of this would provide a massive number of job opportunities."

"If the wages are decent, people will stay instead of leaving."

Takumi laid out a comprehensive plan.

Hearing his suggestions, Ayaka's eyes sparkled.

Many of his ideas aligned with her own.

"This could work."

"I'll discuss it with my brother later."

As she finished speaking, Yae Miko added:

"The Raiden Shogun is also studying how to improve electricity generation."

"If we focus on infrastructure, we can definitely make these plans a reality."

"Thank you for your insights, Takumi. I have a much clearer direction now."

"Next, I'll discuss these ideas with Lumine."

With that, Yae Miko stood up, ready to take her leave.

Ayaka also stood up beside her.

"Then, we'll be off for now."

"Thank you for your time."

Yae Miko smiled before turning to leave.

Watching them go, Takumi sighed.

Inazuma had truly struggled in recent times.

They had suffered due to their own policies.

Shaking his head, Takumi put the matter aside for now.

On Liyue's side, he still had plenty of work to do.

Students had already begun reporting to the new school.

In a few days, the academic year would officially begin.

Takumi was busier than ever.

Amber and the others' villa paperwork was being handled by his staff, so he didn't have to worry about that.

Once he finished his immediate tasks, Takumi made his way to the beach near the school.

Zhongli was overseeing things there.

By now, the faculty building was fully operational.

Zhongli's office was on the top floor.

When Takumi arrived, he entered to find Zhongli leisurely sipping tea.

"You sure seem relaxed."

Hearing Takumi's remark, Zhongli rolled his eyes.

"You only see me when I have free time, not when I'm busy."

The past few days had been exhausting.

"So, what brings you here?"

Saying this, Zhongli poured Takumi a cup of tea.

Seeing this, Takumi smiled.

"I just came to check on the school."

"Are preparations going well?"

Zhongli nodded.

"Everything is ready."

"We're just waiting for the semester to begin."

"We'll conduct an entrance assessment."

"Students will be placed into classes based on their scores."

"Of course, this only applies to those over ten years old."

"Children under ten will all be placed at the same level."

He had already planned everything.

Tests would be based on age.

If students had no prior knowledge, they would start from the basics.

If they had some education, they could skip elementary subjects and move on to more advanced ones.

Listening to Zhongli's explanation, Takumi nodded.

"You're really putting in the effort."

"Once the students enroll, your workload should ease up."

Zhongli shook his head.

"Easier?"

"Not likely."

"There's still plenty of work to be done."

"I even have to teach some of the classes myself."

He sighed in frustration.

Some courses still lacked suitable instructors.

As a result, Zhongli had to teach them personally.

Takumi's eyes gleamed at this revelation.

"You're going to be teaching too?"

"So, in addition to being the principal, you're also a professor?"

"Are there really not enough teachers?"

"That's impossible."

"I'm even planning to call Cloud Retainer to teach mechanics."

"She'd be quite interested."

Zhongli had already considered this.

Since he had come out of retirement, he might as well put the other Adepti to work as well.

They could pass down their knowledge to the next generation.

It would be their contribution to Liyue.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded in agreement.

"That's actually a great idea."

"Cloud Retainer probably wouldn't refuse."

Zhongli then revealed something that left Takumi speechless.

"Besides that, I'm planning to recruit other Adepti as teachers too."

"They spend most of their time idling in the mountains."

"So, why not have them come here and contribute to Liyue's education?"

After saying that, Zhongli took another sip of tea, unfazed.

Hearing this, Takumi's expression turned odd.

Because Zhongli was the principal, did he really intend to recruit the Adepti as faculty members?

Good heavens!
