[X] Ten years of service from a Meng Geomancer, for construction and tutoring (Opens special options in fief construction. Zhengui gets ideas)
[X] Access to a Master Craftsmen in constructing a new instrument (Sets down the path to a new weapon talisman, focused on acquiring resonant materials)
Geomancy is nice, and investing into the fief will only pay dividends. MasteraCraftsman + moonquest will lead to a really good flute, probs something we'll use all the way even through Cyan.
No tariffs would be nice, but it's really something we'd need to invest in. Don't get me wrong, if we manage to get good trade agreements, and if the Bai decide to open up, it'd be the strongest option by far. However it does require a lot of focus and investment.

So keeping in mind that Zhengui's garden wasn't exactly a secret it probably came up in the Meng's research into us to see how to bribe/pay us. Zhengui is a little land god with an interest in geomancy. I have to believe that the offer of a Meng Geomancer is less of a burden on the clan than it seems. Being able to get their foot in the door and stop imperial geomancy from becoming the Ling Clan's (and thus Zhengui's) standard is a huge plus and getting some insights from his perspective would be informative even at his current threshold of knowledge.

Which makes it all the more important for us to accept the offer.
Because they want to impress us, so they will make bloody certain to send someone more than worth our time.
The tax free trade is also to their benefit btw, because exotic goods we bring in will draw in other traders who will get taxed instead.
All the offers are good for us, but they are also, in one way or another, good for the Meng.
Except maybe the flute, haven't figured out the angle on how the flute helps them...
And, quite frankly, i respect that, they are offering us something we want, in exchange of something we don't want, while also gaining some benefits from everything they offer.

One thing useful for Zhengui and our fief, and the other for Hanyi and Ling Qi. Might even help with Hanyi's tour through the Meng lands.

While i am onboard with Zhengui being among the tutored, and possibly Ling Qi, we might want to pick people other than our spirit team + CRX.
Mainly because we want someone who can stick around the maintain the formations while we are off adventuring.
Maybe put couple of the more talented of our servants, assuming any of them hit late yellow/early green fast enough.

If we're getting people trained in geomancy, we want them to be people who have the time and interest to actually use it. Zhengui is a shoe in, and CRX would probably be tempted if she wasn't already busy enough for 20 people, but everyone else there is an edge case at best. The class will probably be filled out with Red and Yellow cultivators we hire to specialize in that.
Ling Qi and Sixiang might have some interest in using geomancy to make it easier to enter the liminal in certain places, but I don't think we're ever going to spend that much time on it.
Edit: Actually this is even better than I thought, how many amateur geomancers would jump at the chance to study under a Meng expert? We can probably fill out the entire class with Yellows, maybe even a Green or two. This is going to make being recruited by us look very attractive.

Recruiting someone with a "you get lessons from a Meng geomancer" is going to draw in lot of young ambitious geomancers.
Who, if not vetted very carefully, are quite likely to then jump ship and find safer, better paying, work somewhere else.
I'd rather start out by picking people already loyal to us.
Also, Ling Qi probably should be in those classes, mainly because she is going to be the most constant member of the clan and therefore the best way to ensure we can keep the knowledge safe and pass it on.
Maybe see if Yu Nuan has any talent or interest at geomancy?
