LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

With the dredging of the canal channels, Dawn Oasis has finally truly returned to life.

The grass seeds that people sown a month ago have now sprouted out of the barren sandy land that was once lifeless.

The land that was once dark yellow is now green.

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

The state of vigorous vitality and all things competing has begun to take shape.

Further away, a team of wood weavers from Ionia were chanting spells, infusing the land with vitality with the life magic from the nascent soil, and using this to quickly give birth to tall poplar forests.

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

"Oasis of Dawn, it's really back."

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

This handful of sand, which had been dry for thousands of years, is still very loose now.

But the moist water vapor and plant roots mixed in it finally made it look like a ball of soil that can grow food, instead of a pile of lifeless gravel.

Nasus was suddenly touched. He held this handful of dirt as if he were holding Shurima's future.

At this moment, Shurima was truly resurrected.

"This is just the beginning." At this time, Levi's voice sounded in Nasus's ears.

He came here in person this time as the leader of the first group of rescue experts from the Wind Leader Association.

"This oasis has been dead for too long, and the soil has completely degraded into yellow sand." As he spoke, Levi also leaned down and picked up a handful of loose gravel from the ground.

"The sandy soil is extremely loose and has almost no organic matter content, making it impossible to grow crops."

"Fortunately, now there is an inexhaustible water source here, alchemical fertilizers supported by Zaun, and a team of wood weavers supported by Ionia."

“We planted pasture and Populus euphratica in the past few years to prevent wind and sand, and to lock in water and soil.”

"Large areas of pasture can be developed into large-scale animal husbandry, and the organic decay formed by plant residues and cattle and sheep manure can fertilize the land, slowly transforming sandy land into soil that can develop agricultural cultivation."

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

"For example, we could build a hydroelectric dam around the massive underground water source pumped by the solar disk."

Mortals cannot directly use the energy of the sun's disk, so they have to use this method of building water wheels to indirectly "steal" the energy of the astral realm.

"With electricity, industry can develop. We can first assist in building a number of textile factories, garment factories, and dye factories in Shurima to form supporting facilities for the livestock industry that was formed at the same time."

"Following the long rivers and dense water systems where the Mother of Life is gradually returning to its original state, the goods produced here can be transported to various oasis cities in Shurima at low prices 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 Dawn Oasis in detail.

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

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

This is a rare respect for a proud ascendant.

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

Looking at the busy Eastern mages in the distance, Nasus' tone became even more moving.

The Woodweaver is a mage unique to Ionia. They can control plant growth, ensure harvests, and even "weave" trees into houses for the people of Ionia to live in.

Although in Shurima, which is far away from the First Land, the Wood Weaver cannot communicate with the spirits of nature, nor can he use the rich magic naturally diffused in the First Land, so the effect of the spell will be greatly reduced.

But... this time the leader supported 1,000 wood weavers in one fell swoop. If the spell is not effective, then people will do it.

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

He had never imagined that human beings could one day cross borders, continents, or even thousands of miles of ocean to come to another continent and selflessly help people they had never known before.

"I have to say that this is a feat only a leader can accomplish." Nasus sighed.

"Ahem!" Levi was about to answer when Azir, who had always remained silent, finally coughed uncontrollably.

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

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

Azir couldn't see that Levi was so devoted to supporting the reconstruction of Dawn Oasis, but he didn't take him and his empire seriously.

Levi is basically managing this land as the territory of the future leader.

Damn it!

After all, he is also the emperor of the Shurima Empire.

By doing this, is Li Wei sure that he will submit to the Leader Association and become the king of subjugation again?

"And..." And you, Nasus.

Whose bachelor's family are you?

Why do you keep following Li Wei "singing praises"?

The more Azir thought about it, the more he felt that Nasus's position was subtle, but he couldn't be so rude to his senior, so he had to stand in front of Levi and Nasus with a cold, haughty face and an unhappy look on his face.

"Your Majesty." Levi explained calmly: "You misunderstood. Our assistance comes without any conditions attached."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch," Azir said. "I don't believe you have no purpose."

"It's no good. You, the guild president, will travel thousands of miles to visit Shurima in person?"

"Of course there is a purpose." Levi replied with a smile.

"We want better things for everyone."

The world is unified, this is the ideal of the leader. Therefore, 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." Levi didn't hide it either.

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

The working class is a natural fan of leaders.

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

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

At that time, the Shurimans will more actively embrace Janna theory. The influence of the leader will also truly cover this land.

"You?!" Azir's face darkened upon hearing this: "Are you planning to seduce my subjects?"

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

"There is only one place in the world where workers are opposed to the Janna Lord, and that is the former workers of Piltover."

"If you can provide your subjects with benefits close to those of Piltover, then they will not listen to my instigation."

"..." Azir choked hard.

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

"Even if Dawn Oasis develops industry, it will still be a primary light industry at the lowest end of the industrial chain with the thinnest profit margins."

"No matter how good I am at distribution, I can't be like Pi City, spending so much money to bribe workers and cultivate a group of worker aristocrats who will support me unconditionally."

"What's more..." Azir hesitated.

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

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

Do you expect this group of imperial bureaucrats who have turned their backs on bandits to do a good job in distribution like the leaders? Isn’t this a dream?

If the territory is smaller, Azir can still use the majesty of the Ascendant to suppress a river and sea.

But once the territory expands and the local emperor becomes far away, then... no matter how hard he tries to be a wise king and a good emperor, he cannot change the overall situation.

Azir had already tried something similar 3,000 years ago.

Back then, he had to be cautious even in solving a slave problem. How could he now achieve a good distribution for all people according to the standards of a leader?

"You clearly know that we can't catch up with Zaun and the Twin Cities in a short period of time, but you still use the gap in welfare benefits as an excuse." Azir asked angrily: "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"This..." Levi was a little surprised.

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

The other party could actually find out that he was secretly preparing for the peaceful evolution of the Shurima Empire in the future.

People naturally yearn for a better life.

After industrialization, Shurima will definitely see a high degree of prosperity and development in the twin 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 that time, everyone in Shurima believed in Janna and wanted to follow the Wind Leader——

Azir is left with only two options:

First, dispatch the Forbidden Army soldiers to launch the Shurima Unrestricted Free Fighting Competition and mingle with the masses.

If Azir chooses this, it will be easy.

The leader can legitimately intervene with force and launch a just "Operation Desert Storm" to eradicate evil and evil in Shurima and bring the wind of Janna's freedom to the Shurima people.

Considering the growing power gap between Janna and the Ascended, Azir wouldn't have done this if he were a little wiser.

Therefore, Azir has only the second option:

The superiors obey the will of heaven, the subordinates respond to the will of the people, change sides and disarm, and surrender with courtesy.

Accept the reality silently and be "Emperor Sha Xian" honestly.

Azir was obviously aware of this and Levi's "sinister" intentions.

So his face is very ugly

Levi was open-minded and not embarrassed at all. He also chatted: "Your Majesty, have you been reading our books?"

"Huh..." Azir said with a cold face, acquiescing.

"Since you understand the theory, you should also be able to think clearly about a problem." After speaking, Levi paused: "To deal with the penetration of more advanced civilizations, late-developing civilizations actually have only two choices:"

“First, grit one’s teeth and endure the painful stage of primitive accumulation of benzene, and develop the industry as quickly as possible to a developed level that can rival its opponents, so as to achieve parity in terms of comprehensive national strength.”

When national strength is equal, development levels are close, and people's living standards rise, only then can we withstand the impact in the ideological field.

Otherwise, if the Shuriman people in the future still don't have enough to eat, then they won't yearn for the Twin Cities and won't worship the Twin Cities' ideology... Is that possible?

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

Shurima is prosperous, and Azir is a saint in this world.

Even though this is the same person.

Ordinary people only look at the present moment - you cannot blame them for being short-sighted - because many people may not be able to survive the present moment. They cannot wait for the better days ahead.

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

"But there is a problem with this method:"

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

This labor pain is very painful.

Most countries simply can't survive this period, and will hurt themselves to death halfway through the development.

This leads to a logical paradox:

If we want to resist the impact of ideology, we must develop as soon as possible.

But the more Shurima catches up with the Twin Cities and develops industry, the more mature its internal working class becomes, the more intense its internal conflicts become, and the easier it is for it to self-destruct under the infiltration of the leader.

"This stage is very difficult. Your Majesty the Emperor, are you confident in blocking the ideological impact of the leader?"

"..." Azir's face turned pale.

The leaders are not the Piltover plutocrats. Their ideologies are more advanced and their theories are so beautiful that they are almost impeccable.

The Latter-day Nation may be able to expose the hypocrisy of the Piltover chaebol to the public and point out the fact that they bribe domestic welfare and exploit blood externally.

But who can find fault with these real leaders, these "living saints"?

Azir couldn't fault it either.

"Then, there is only the second method:"

To withstand the ideological impact of advanced civilization, one must either develop oneself to be extremely advanced, or...

"Embrace the ultra-conservative views and step on the accelerator to the end."

Women are not allowed to work, children are not allowed to study, industry is not developed, and the working class and new intellectuals are not cultivated. At the same time, religion is used to anesthetize people's spirits and undermine people's progressive consciousness...

In this way, no one can even understand the root of the problem, and naturally they will not seek any changes.

When the wind of change blows here, it may be beaten back angrily by the Shuriman people who are tightly controlled by the priest group and tribal elders.

At that time, the peaceful evolution envisaged by Li Wei will turn into a shameful invasion by the imperial lord.

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

"Are you willing to completely give up the opportunity for industrial development and let the Shuriman people live in poverty and ignorance forever, so as to realize your rule for eternity?"

"I..." Azir was silent for a while.

He will not. He couldn't make this choice.

Even though he is a feudal old antique and a reactionary emperor, he still has his subjects in his eyes.

"Then you are still making progress." Levi said with admiration.

Although he knew that the first path was dangerous for his position, Azir still chose it without hesitation.

This shows that at least the emperor is not too reactionary and there is still hope of being won over.

"In that case, you have to choose the first way." Levi smiled: "If you take the first way, you have to develop industry."

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

Azir was still silent, but his eyes were moving.

"Your Majesty, we have a package of industrial assistance plans for you and your empire. As long as the Shurima region's ecology recovers in the next few years, we can launch them one after another."

"I introduced the specific content to you and Grand Maester Nasus in detail when I came here." After saying that, Levi took out a stack of documents and said, "Now, are you interested in signing?"

Azir hesitated.

Li Wei just made it clear. So he knows:

This document is the starting engine for Shurima's industrial development and the beginning of a better life for Shurima people;

But at the same time, it will also be the pioneer of the leader's ideology, the gravedigger of the Shurima Empire.

By signing this document, he will be one step closer to becoming "Emperor Sha Xian".

"I..." Azir thought 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 people, and their god."

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

"Isn't it just sugar-coated bullets?"

"Hmph!" Azir took the treaty forcefully and signed his name heavily: "Come on!"

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