Struggle in Valoran

After arriving at the Great Commander, the private residence of Emperor Noxus, a huge mansion with gardens and courtyards, Lauber directly obtained a title deed from Steward’s hands. , And a lot of transfer documents were handed over to Li Ke closely. At the same time, he also stated that the maintenance costs of the mansion and the employment costs of the servants and maids in the manor will be paid by the emperor Your Majesty, and for him, the general who has expanded the Noxus territory, there is also maintenance of the mansion. Expenses, but this fee will still be paid directly and remitted to his treasury or Vi’s bank.

The decoration and floor space of this mansion is almost the size of a park or university campus on Earth, but now it has become Li Ke’s property based on Noxus’ axioms and jurisprudence. After Li Ke glanced at the map of the mansion again, he found that there was a small fortress and a large artificial lake in the mansion, and there was a man-made river linking Noxus’ Sea Territory. The three small ports next to Sea Territory are already his, and the goods entering and leaving these ports do not need to pay taxes to the emperor Your Majesty. Instead, they are fishing boats traveling on this river and on this river. Farmers who chop wood and hunt nearby need to pay taxes to Li Ke, or they will be hanged by the empire’s laws.

What a grace this is.

“Thanks to the emperor Your Majesty for me. Whether it is his welcome or his generosity, I am very grateful.”

Let’s take this priceless assignment contract. Throwing it into the arms of Ari who was shocked by the number of Noxus and the imposing manner, Li Ke gave a polite speech to Lauber. However, Lauber looked at Li Ke’s random movements in a somewhat unbelievable manner, but after a trance, he smiled again.

“Then your Excellency, I will discuss your next itinerary with your secretary and Nora Young Lady. At 8 o’clock in the evening, the emperor Your Majesty will welcome you to the banquet. Will open, so please make sure to set aside some time at that time.”

After speaking, Lauber gave a salute to Li Ke again, and then left the private house with Nora, and Nora arranged the other people’s residence and the past few days together. And Li Ke also sat on the sofa after he left, and looked towards Lilia, who was shiver coldly on her knees because of too many people he saw, and also became extremely excited because of too many people. Ari’s body is on him. As soon as Laub and the others went out, Ari shook Lilia’s upper body crazily, causing Lilia to involuntarily make an uninterrupted sound of’Eh eh eh’.

“I have never seen such a scene in my life! How many people welcomed us just now? Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand? My God! I have never seen so many people in my life! And they still Welcome! This is incredible! How could there be so many people! There are dozens of people in the villages I have seen before, I think there are many people! I really didn’t expect human beings to be able to gather in one place like this There are so many of the same kind! It’s really incredible! How did they solve their own eating problems!”

The over-excited Ari couldn’t help asking Lilia, but he is still muttering.’ A lot of people’ Lilia was impossible to answer her, so she looked towards Li Ke halfway through this remark, and was very eager to ask Li Ke to answer her.

“For this World, there are indeed a lot of people.”

Li Ke’s mood is not very good. He wants to dispel this uncomfortable feeling through a conversation with Ari, so He immediately began to answer Ari’s question.

“In a city like this, the residents of the one third are all working for the normal operation of the city, whether it is food transportation or road maintenance, or supporting people living in this city People, there will be a large number of so-called low-end jobs provided to the people at the bottom, and because these low-end jobs can feed people, they will attract more people, so people in the city will come more and more. More and more, the types and skills of this kind of “low-end” jobs will be more and more. There will be more and more people gathered in the city. But in fact, in this era, there are so many people in a city. It’s a disaster, because the import of food alone is a big problem… Noxus’s crazy expansion is also because of this super-scale city, because this city needs a lot of food…”

Ah Tan at first listened with a smile, but when she heard Li Ke talk about why crazy expansion can consume a large amount of’low-end’ population and obtain a more’low-end’ population for exploitation, her face His smile slowly disappeared, turning into a sad and confused face. But Lilia, who was holding her neck around her neck, was even more confused, and could not understand what Li Ke said.

“Therefore, before the Noxus people can be self-sufficient in food production, and before their large number of low-end aristocrats and low-end officers are satisfied, they will continue to expand, and they will continue to expand the food from other countries. And wealth plundering, signing various unequal treaties to absorb their power and high-end talents, allowing their wealth and food to flow out. But because this move can alleviate the crisis caused by Noxus’ food shortage, it will increase because of this move. There are more low-ranking officers and nobles, so the food gap will not only not decrease, but will increase, right?”

When Li Ke was drinking water, Ahri concluded with a serious look. This conclusion, and asked Li Ke again.

“Yes, before this country is fed, they will never stop. Therefore, the war will always be with them. This is also the biggest drawback and advantage of the military system. That is the large number of low-end officers and nobles brought about by the war. If you do not let them satisfy, those in power will never want them to want to fight and plunder. Anyone who stops these low-end officers and nobles will be rejected by them. Crushing mercilessly…This is the reason why this country is constantly launching wars. Food is only one aspect. In fact, there are more problems that make this country unable to stop.”

” That’s right. No wonder they didn’t feel any guilt in their hearts when they attacked Ionia, because they felt that they deserved it, so in other words, will Noxus surely become the enemy of this World? Okay, we will do it today. Say so much.”

“Yes, and if there is not a wise person who loves this country enough to become a Great Commander and step on the brakes, then Noxus will not exceed It will be over in twenty years.”

Ali is nodded looking thoughtful, and Li Ke feels that he has said too much, because Ali’s performance also makes him feel that something is wrong. I always feel that I let this The girl turned to a strange place, but at this moment, a petite silhouette with red hair came in from the window, and she put the dagger in her hand on Li Ke’s neck.

“Go on, or your life will be gone.”
