LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 451
Azir finally signed the aid contract and ate the "sugar-coated cannonball" sent by the leader.

Although he was reluctant about this, when Li Wei discussed the specific projects of assistance and the future development direction of Shurima, he still listened carefully.

The development problem of Shurima is actually not difficult to solve.

Because the most deadly water shortage problem, as well as the equally troublesome traffic problem, have been solved by the plug-in of the sun disc and the canal water conservancy system left over the desert left by the ancient Shurima Empire.

"Through the connection of natural and artificial water conservancy, the water system network of Mother of Life can connect to the north shore port in the north, and can flow downstream in the east to connect to the Mang River water system in Ixtal, so as to realize the export of materials to the sea."

The rulers of ancient Shurima did not lack foresight and foresight.

The mother of life, the great river they developed artificially, connects the two natural rivers, the melting water of the snow-capped mountains of Mount Targon in the upper reaches of the west, and the rainforest river of Ixtar in the lower reaches of the east.

Starting from the capital of Shurima by boat, you can go east across Ixtar all the way to Bilgewater under the rule of the Windleader.

This ensures that Shurima will not be left behind by the global trading system in the future era of sea power.

With water supply, shipping transportation, various mineral resources, and various industrial projects assisted by leaders, Shurima's economy was immediately revitalized.

Although many warlord tribes in the desert have not been integrated, and the air route to the closed and conservative Ixtar has not been opened.

But the Ascension Empire has been reborn, and the leader's development has become unshakable.

The situation is set.

Integrating the Shurima Desert and opening up Ixtar are all things that will come naturally, so there is no need to repeat them.

"It has to be said that the ancient Shurima Empire has left a rich legacy to future generations." Li Wei still sighed when he said this: "Such a beautiful and majestic continental-level water conservancy project that has changed the world, even the current leader , is absolutely impossible to achieve.”

"Of course." Azir raised his golden head proudly: "We belong to the sun."

"The people of Shurima, or the slaves of Shurima, built such a magnificent project thousands of years ago. Their sacrifices are worth remembering by all future generations." Li Wei added silently.

"." Azir choked slightly, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

He knew exactly how much the slaves had paid for Shurima's water system.

"Don't be embarrassed." Li Wei said in a calm but sarcastic voice, "I won't make a purely moral criticism of a feudal ruler 3000 years ago."

"In fact, as feudal rulers, the former kings of Shurima are already worthy of praise."

While squeezing the foreign slaves plundered from the war of expansion, they gave preferential treatment to the native citizens of Shurima as much as possible. This set of practices that seem to be extremely imperialist today, in the feudal era, was simply the conscience of the industry.

What's more, their deeds of exploitation really squeezed out some development achievements, and left such a large amount of infrastructure wealth to future generations.

Unlike the comprador alchemy barons in Zaun who rode on the heads of Zaun people and drank blood for more than 200 years, but all the blood-sucking results were used for personal enjoyment, maintaining the rule, and paying tribute to the lord of Piltover. To a little constructive effect.

In such a comparison, ancient Shurima is really an outstanding representative of the feudal empire.

"." Azir remained silent.

He could tell that the outstanding representative of the feudal empire was not a good term nowadays.

Li Wei noticed his eyes, and said at the right time: "The ancient Shurima has left us such a rich legacy, so that Shurima can not lag behind the development of the world in the era of globalization."

"It's a pity that after 3000 years, the water system network of the mother of life is like the irrigation canal of the dawn oasis, mostly buried by endless yellow sand."

"But now, slavery has been abolished by Your Majesty. Shurima, whose ecology has deteriorated and its population has dropped sharply, cannot organize so many mortals to complete this great project."

"So." Li Wei glanced at Azir pointedly.

Cleaning up the sand accumulated in the rivers of Shurima, completely repairing the water network, and opening up the waterway, the amount of work is much larger than cleaning up the Dawn Oasis.

Even if Azir's ascension magic is specialized in manipulating yellow sand, he will probably have to bury his head in the desert for many years before he can truly restore Shurima to its former glory.

"Can we still expect 'miracles'?" Levi asked.

"I" Azir blushed.

But after pondering for a moment, he still replied firmly: "Of course. The god of Shurima will not abandon his subjects."

"I thank you for the people of Shurima, Your Majesty." Li Wei said sincerely and expectantly: "I think, one day—"

"We'll be real comrades."

"This is what I should do," Azir subconsciously wanted to agree.

Then he reacted belatedly: "No! Who is your comrade?"

Speaking of this, His Majesty's arrogance came up again: "Li Wei, we are only a temporary cooperative relationship."

"The Ascended is a god warrior. You want a god to believe in another god? It's impossible!"

"Faith is free." Li Wei smiled noncommittally: "No one can force you to believe in Janna. You made the change yourself. And I'm just looking forward to your future choice, Your Majesty."

Azir wanted to refute, but hesitated to speak.

I don't know if it's because this new era has changed him, or the thinking of the leader has changed him, or both.

His behavior is indeed becoming less and less like a feudal emperor.

Moreover, Azir also saw the potential of Janna and the Leader.

He also knows that the wind of change will eventually blow across the world.

Whether to follow Janna, or fight to the end for personal benefit, he will have to make a decision sooner or later.

Li Wei just pointed out this point secretly, so that he could no longer deceive himself and ignore the elephant in the room.

So how should he choose?

"." Azir hesitated.

He doesn't want to choose yet.On the one hand, he didn't want to go up against the leaders and drag the suffering Shurimans into a war that meant nothing to them.What's more, he can't beat the current leader.

On the other hand, he still couldn't let go of the arrogance of the emperor and the ascended.The majestic Ascendant is Janna's younger brother.
He can't do this kind of decision against his ancestors.

"Okay." Li Wei didn't force it.

He could see that Azir needed time.He is also willing to give him time to slowly accept the progressive trend of thought of the leader.

However.
"Mr. Levi." Nasus spoke.

The imperial scholar completely ignored His Majesty's sullen gaze, and asked Li Wei straight to the point: "If, I mean if."

"If Shurima also abandons the imperial system in the future and establishes a Janna-lord regime, then what will be the status of this new Shurima in the future Runeterra Janna-lord alliance?"

As soon as Li Wei heard this, he immediately became energetic.

He knew that Nasus was here to discuss with him the specific conditions after the venture.

"In the future Janna Lordship Alliance, all the joining countries are equal. The same is true for Shurima." Li Wei first gave a correct official answer.

But Nasus just asked straightforwardly: "Then what is the relationship between a franchise country like Shurima and the future central council of the alliance?"

"Is it similar to the relationship between the tribal leader and the tribal alliance leader?"

"Or is it similar to the relationship between the local administrator and the center of the empire?"

Nasus' question was straightforward.

What he wanted to know was, after they brought Shurima to Janna, whether the relationship between the Shurima branch and the Zaun General Assembly was a strict subordinate relationship or a loose partnership.

"This..." Azir also looked over with concern.

Li Wei knew that the emperor definitely wanted the latter's treatment.but
"It's the former." Li Wei replied frankly: "The franchise countries only have independent administrative power in daily governance. In terms of general direction, they still have to obey the unified planning and arrangements of the alliance center."

"You want the Shurimans to be subordinate to our Zaun?" Azir demanded angrily.

"No." Li Wei replied: "In the future, the Central Council of the Alliance, its members will be leaders with the strongest beliefs, the most solid theories, and the most outstanding achievements selected from regional branches."

"We are not a Shurima organization, let alone a Zaun organization—we are Janna advocates, international advocates, and an organization that serves all mankind. Can you understand that?"

Leaders only look at their beliefs, not their origins.

In this Ganna-led alliance that unified the whole world, there will be no argument about who is the main nation and who is the ruling base.

Power will still be concentrated at the center, but those who exercise this power will not be people from a specific region or ethnic group.

They will only be selected from all over the world, the real leaders.

Even with the passage of time, the external concepts of identity such as nationality and country will gradually disappear under the rule of leaders.

"So you don't have to worry. A certain leader of the center allocated the land of Shurima to the allies because of his hometown or other selfish interests, and gave away the resources of Shurima to other places."

"This kind of situation is impossible in our organization."

Levi explained to Nasus and Azir how this alliance works.

To put it bluntly, it means that power is concentrated in the center, and then saints are selected to rule the world.

"This is indeed an efficient and fair approach." Nasus could understand the benefits of this approach.

However, as a representative of the Shurima people, he still has an opinion: "As you said, Mr. Li Wei, the leaders of the alliance center are all 'sages' who have been determined by their beliefs. It is impossible for them to harm a certain area out of selfishness. Interests."

"But instead—"

"As long as it is out of public interest, they can mobilize resources from any region to another without any scruples, can they?"

"Yes." Li Wei nodded.

Interconnection of resources, transfer payments, areas that get rich first drive areas that get rich later, and concentrate on major tasks.

In his opinion as a central leader, this is the superiority of the centralized system.

But from the perspective of local leaders like Nasus and Azir, it is a bit difficult to accept.

For places, the Cephalon is a nasty daddy.

If you are rich, he wants you to support him; if you are poor, he will take care of you, but he still wants you to be obedient unconditionally.

No one likes having a dad on their head.This is even more so for the proud Ascenders.

"What if." Considering the emotions of His Majesty the Emperor, Nasus still used a hypothetical tone: "If we are willing to follow Janna, follow the leader."

"Then can the leader give Shurima special treatment and guarantee the independence of the Shurima region?"

"This..." Li Wei hesitated for only a second.

Then he replied, "No, that's not possible."

　The second is later_(:з」∠)_
