LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 450 From Desert Emperor to Desert Emperor
With the dredging of the canal, Dawn Oasis has finally truly returned to life.

The forage seeds that people sowed a month ago have already sprouted tender seedlings on the once lifeless barren sandy land.

The land that was once dark yellow is now green.

Although this piece of green grass is still very sparse and young, life has reappeared in this once restricted area of ​​life after all.

The realm of vigor and vitality, where all things are competing, has already begun to appear.

Farther away, the team of wood weavers from Ionia are chanting spells, using the life magic from the nascent soil to infuse the land with vitality, and quickly give birth to tall poplar forests.

These Populus euphratica trees are like silent guards, blocking the endless sand and dust blowing from the desert for this slowly recovering oasis.

"Dawn Oasis, it's really back."

Nasus leaned down and gently picked up a handful of sand.

The sand that had been dried up for thousands of years is still very loose at this moment.

But the moist water vapor and the root system of plants and trees mixed in it finally made it look like a mass of soil that can grow food, rather than a handful of lifeless gravel.

Nasus was suddenly moved.He held this handful of dirt as if he held the future of Shurima.

At this moment, Shurima was truly resurrected.

"This is just the beginning." At this moment, Li Wei's voice sounded in Nasus' ears.

This time, he came here in person as the leader of the first batch of forgiveness experts from the Leaders Association.

"This oasis has been dead for too long, and the soil has completely degraded into yellow sand." As he spoke, Li Wei also bent down and grabbed a handful of loose gravel from the ground.

"The sandy soil is extremely loose, and the organic matter content is almost zero, so it is impossible to grow crops at all."

"Fortunately, there is now an inexhaustible source of water, alchemy fertilizers from Zaun, and a team of wood weavers from Ionia."

"A few years ago, we first planted grass and Populus euphratica to prevent wind and fix sand, and lock water and soil."

"A large area of ​​grass can be developed into large-scale animal husbandry, and the organic humus formed by plant residues and cattle and sheep manure can fertilize the land, and slowly transform the sandy land into soil that can develop agricultural planting."

"At the same time, we will continue to support the Shurima Empire in terms of industry—"

"For example, we could build a hydroelectric dam around a massive groundwater source pumped from the solar disc."

Ordinary people have no way to directly use the energy of the solar disc, so they have to indirectly "steal" the astral energy by using this way of building water wheels.

"With electricity, industry can develop. We can first aid in the construction of a number of textile factories, garment factories, and dye factories in Shurima, which will form a complete set with the simultaneous formation of animal husbandry."

"Following the mother of life's long river course and dense water system, the goods produced here can be transported to various oasis cities in Shurima at low cost and efficiently."

"I think it won't be long before Dawn Oasis will become the center of agriculture, animal husbandry and textile industry in the entire Shurima region."

"Until then, Shurima will be truly resurrected."

Li Wei talked about his future development plan for Liming Oasis.

Nasus saw the bright future he described from the lush greenery in front of him and his words.

"President Li Wei, thank you." He stood up and looked at Li Wei with respect in his eyes.

This is a proud Ascendant, a rare tribute.

"Thank you for sending us so much grass and tree seeds, and the Ionian wood weavers who came to support us."

Looking at the busy eastern mages in the distance, Nasus's tone was even more moving.

Woodweavers are mages unique to Ionia.They can manipulate the growth of plants, ensure a good harvest, and even "weave" trees into houses for the people of Ionia to live in.

Although in Shurima, which is far away from the first soil, the wood weaver cannot communicate with the spirit of nature, nor can he use the rich magic power naturally permeated by the first soil, so the effect of the spell will be greatly reduced.

But this time, the leader came to support 1000 wood weavers in one go.If the effect of the spell is not good, then people will come together.

Nasus had never heard of an organization with such a strong organizational and mobilizing power.

He never thought that human beings could one day cross borders, continents, and even thousands of miles of oceans to another continent, and selflessly help people they didn't know before.

"It has to be said that this is a feat that can only be achieved by leaders." Nasus sighed.

"Ahem!" Li Wei was about to answer, when Azir, who had remained silent all along, finally coughed uncontrollably.

He looked over with displeasure: "Li Wei, your plan for Liming Oasis is indeed very good, and you have also given real support."

"But" But is this your land?Are you planning here?

Azir couldn't see that, Li Wei did his best to support the reconstruction of Dawn Oasis, but in his bones, he and his empire were completely ignored.

Li Wei is basically managing this land as the site of the future leader.

bastard!

He is also the Emperor of Shurima after all.

By doing this, Li Wei is sure that he will submit to the Leaders Association in the future and become the king of subjugation again?
"And." And Nasus.

Who are you from?
Why have you been "singing praises" by Li Wei's side?
The more Azir thought about it, the more he felt that Nasus's position was subtle, but he didn't want to be so rude to his senior, so he could only stand in front of Li Wei and Nasus with a cold and proud face, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Your Majesty." Li Wei explained calmly, "You have misunderstood. There are no strings attached to our assistance."

"There is no free lunch in this world." Azir said, "I don't believe you have no purpose."

"It's no good, you, the president, will visit Shurima in person?"

"Of course there is a purpose." Li Wei replied with a smile.

"We want everyone to be better off."

The world is united, this is the ideal of the leader.So they are willing to travel thousands of miles to support the reconstruction of Dawn Oasis without asking for anything in return.

"Of course, there are objective rewards." Li Wei didn't hide it either.

The initial industrialization of Dawn Oasis will surely give birth to a group of mature working class in this primitive and backward land.

The working class is a natural supporter of leaders.

It is difficult to explain Janna theory to those illiterate desert tribesmen.

But as long as these tribal people are allowed to work in a factory for two years, especially the lowest-end sweat textile factory, they will soon understand what the Janna theory is talking about.

At that point, the Shurimans will embrace Janna theory more actively.The influence of the leader will also really cover the land.

"You?!" Azir's expression darkened when he heard that, "Are you plotting to confuse my subjects?"

"Haha." Li Wei smiled and said nothing: "Whether your subjects can be bewitched is not up to me, but to you."

"There is only one place in the world where workers oppose Janna's master, and that is the former workers of Piltover."

"If you can give your subjects close to Piltover's benefits, then they won't listen to my bewitching."

"." Azir choked hard.

But he is not stupid: "Bastard! What kind of sanctimonious nonsense are you talking about!"

"Even if Liming Oasis develops industry, it is still a primary light industry at the lowest end of the industrial chain with the thinnest profit margin."

"No matter how well I do the distribution, it's impossible for me to spend so much money to buy off the workers like Piltover, so as to cultivate a group of worker aristocrats who support me unconditionally."

"Not to mention" Azir hesitated to speak.

What's more, it is impossible for him to do a good job in the distribution.

The group of administrative officials under him were all temporarily selected from those warlord tribes to make up the numbers.

The imperial bureaucrats who expect these bandits to go ashore will do a good job of distribution like leaders?Isn't this a dream?
With a smaller territory, Azir can still suppress a piece of river with the majesty of the Ascended.

But once the territory expands and the place becomes sky-high and the emperor is far away, no matter how hard he tries to be a wise emperor and a good emperor, it is impossible to change the overall situation.

Similar things, Azir had tried 3000 years ago.

Back then, he had to be cautious about even solving a slave problem, so how could he manage the distribution of the people according to the standards of the leader now?
"You know that we can't catch up with Zaun and Shuangcheng in a short period of time, but why are you talking about the difference in welfare benefits?" Azir asked angrily, "What are you pretending to be stupid for?"

"This..." Li Wei was a little surprised.

Azir's understanding of this modern world is higher than he imagined.

The other party can even find out that he is secretly preparing for the future peaceful evolution of the Shurima Empire.

People naturally yearn for a better life.

Shurima after industrialization will definitely see the high prosperity and development of the two cities, and the actual material level gap will definitely make the Shurima people who have suffered from primitive accumulation seek a theoretical way out.

By then, everyone in Shurima believed in Janna, and they all wanted to go with the leader——

Azir has only two options left:

First, send out the Forbidden Army soldiers, start the Shurima Unrestricted Free Fighting Competition, and mingle with the masses.

If Azir picks this one, it's easy to handle.

The leader can justifiably intervene by force and start a righteous "Desert Storm Operation", eradicate rape and evil for Shurima, and bring the wind of Janna's freedom to Shurima.

Given the widening power gap between Janna and the Ascended, Azir wouldn't have done it if he had been a little wiser.

Therefore, Azir has only the second option:
Follow the heart of heaven above, respond to the will of the people below, turn against the enemy and disarm, and surrender with courtesy.

Accept the reality silently, and be "Sha Xiandi" honestly.

Azir is obviously aware of this too, aware of Levi's "sinister" intentions.

So his face is very ugly
Li Wei was frank and frank, not embarrassed at all.He also chattered: "Your Majesty, have you been reading our books?"

"Hmph" Azir's face was cold, as he acquiesced.

"Since you understand the theory, then you should be able to think clearly about a problem." After speaking, Li Wei paused: "Facing the infiltration of more advanced civilizations, there are actually only two options for later civilizations:"

"First, grit your teeth and survive the painful stage of primitive accumulation of benzene, and develop the industry to a level of development that can rival your opponent as soon as possible, so as to achieve equality in comprehensive national strength."

When the national strength is equal, the level of development is close, and the living standards of the people have risen, only then can the ideological field withstand the impact.

Otherwise, if the Shurima people in the future still can’t even get enough to eat, then let them not yearn for the Twin Cities and worship the Twin Cities ideology. Is that possible?

Shurima is poor and backward, so Azir is a lone husband and a thief.

Shurima prospered, and Azir was the living saint.

Even if, this is the same person.

Ordinary people are all about the moment—and they can’t be blamed for being shortsighted—because many of us may not even be able to survive the moment.They can't wait for the better days ahead.

Therefore, if Azir does not want to be the "Emperor Sha Xian", then he must develop Shurima as soon as possible, at least to the level where he no longer needs to kneel and look up at the two cities.

"But there's a problem with this approach:"

"The process of primitive accumulation is bloody and cruel, and the development of industrialization will inevitably bring pains."

This labor pain is very painful.

The average country can't survive this period at all, and when it develops halfway, it kills itself.

This leads to a logical paradox:

If you want to resist the impact of ideology, you have to develop as soon as possible.

However, the more Shurima catches up with the footsteps of the two cities and develops industries, the more mature the internal working class will become, and the internal conflicts will become more intense, and the easier it will be to explode on the spot under the infiltration of leaders.

"This stage is difficult. Your Majesty the Emperor, are you confident in resisting the ideological impact of the leaders?"

"." Azir's face was livid.

The leaders are not the Piltover plutocrats, their ideology is more advanced, and their theories are so beautiful that they are almost impeccable.

The post-developing countries may be able to expose the hypocrisy of the Picheng plutocrats to the public, pointing out the fact that they bribe domestic welfare and suck blood and exploit externally.

But who can single out the faults of these real leaders, these "living saints"?
Azir couldn't pick it out either.

"Then, there is only the second method:"

To withstand the ideological impact of advanced civilization, either develop oneself to be extremely advanced, or
"Embrace extreme conservatism and step on the gas pedal in reverse."

Don't let women go to work, don't let children go to school, don't develop industries, don't cultivate the working class and new intellectuals, and at the same time use religion to anesthetize people's spirits and disintegrate people's progressive consciousness.
In this way, everyone can't even understand the root of the problem, so naturally they won't seek any change.

When the wind of change blows here, maybe those Shurima people who are firmly controlled by the priest group and the tribal elders will beat them back angrily.

At that time, the peaceful evolution envisioned by Li Wei will turn into a shameful imperialist invasion.

"This method is really easy to use, and I have already taught you." Li Wei looked directly at Azir: "Your Majesty, do you want to do this?"

"Are you willing to completely give up the opportunity of industrialization and let the people of Shurima live in poverty and ignorance forever, so as to realize your eternal rule?"

"I" Azir was silent for a while.

He will not.He has no choice.

Even if he is a feudal antique, a reactionary emperor, he still has his own subjects in his eyes.

"Then you are still progressing." Li Wei said with admiration.

Knowing that the first path was very dangerous to his position, Azir still chose it without hesitation.

This shows that at least the emperor is not too reactionary, and there is still hope to be won.

"In this case, you should choose the first one." Li Wei smiled: "If you take the first one, you have to develop industry."

"Shurima has development needs, and we are willing to support, so why not do it?"

Azir is still silent, but his eyes have moved.

"Your Majesty, we have a package of industrial assistance plans for you and your empire. As long as the ecology of the Shurima region is restored in the next few years, they can be launched one by one."

"The specific content, I introduced it to you and Grand Maester Nasus in detail when I came here." After speaking, Li Wei took out a stack of documents in preparation: "Now, are you interested in signing?"

Azir hesitated.

Li Wei just made it clear.So he is clear:

This document is the starting engine for the development of Shurima industry and the beginning of a better life for Shurima people;
But at the same time, it will also be the pioneer of the leading ideology, the gravedigger of the Shurima Empire.

By signing this document, he is one step closer to "Emperor Sha Xian".

"I" Azir pondered for a long time.

Finally, he clenched his fists and raised his head proudly: "I am the emperor of the desert, the eagle father of the Shurima, their god."

"I believe in my people! They will not abandon me."

"Isn't it sugar-coated cannonballs?"

"Hmph!" Azir accepted the contract stubbornly, and signed it heavily: "Come on!"

"If you have any assistance, you can bring it to me!"
