above the sky

Chapter 880 Desire for a defeat (12)

— The future rolls around without asking people's opinions.

Hearing these words, Adalbert felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart.

He finally understood what Ian was thinking.

Unlike Inaiga II, unlike Grand Duke Thorin...

Unlike all the self-confident and arrogant kings on Terra...

Ian never expects a 'right', nor does he want to create an 'eternal'.

He does not pursue the eternal line, nor does he pursue the long-term continuation and strength of the bloodline.

What he wants is not a name that will last forever, nor a system that can run stably for hundreds of thousands of years.

He believes that the path he takes is 'right now', but not 'right in the future'.

He thinks he 'will be successful now' and 'will be eliminated' in the future.

Whether it's AI, arcane path, agricultural reform, Chongling religion...all of these are just Ian's tools, the carving knife used to transform the world.

But that was not Ian's dream and goal.

Ian's goal...

"Only above the sky."

He said tremblingly: "You only want that, don't you? Other than that, everything will come later."

"Yes."

Ian's gaze was gentle but firm, and he didn't hesitate at all: "When human beings can travel to distant places safely, my system will be eliminated—but before that, I will create a system where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. A world of worrying about food and clothing.”

"So, Yadbert, would you like to go to failure with me?" He invited.

"How can I refuse?"

Closing his eyes, the researcher smiled wryly.

But soon, he opened his eyes, and his wry smile turned into a real smile: "So far, I haven't made even one mistake in my research. Even the dead king, although the result is not satisfactory, it is considered a success."

There was a light in Yadbert's eyes, which was as scarlet as a flame, and the usually gentle Dead King researcher showed a firm expression: "It's not just you, Ian."

He said seriously: "I am also eager for a defeat."

Ian smiled.

The Heart of Terra hangs silently atop the blood-red sky.

The silver sun shines on all this.

The exchanges and creations that take place in the chip space are destined to be unknown to outsiders.

The leadership team led by Xiahui was immediately exposed to the taste of change.

The first month after Ian came back.

A group of dwarven skilled workers headed by Roland received a series of promotions and rewards one after another.

Because they have already explored the perfect alchemy park construction site in the gorge between the Xiahui Territory and the Midra Autonomous Region, and have already started construction.

Inside Xiahui Ling, many staff members of the city hall are required to attend the study classes offered by the cadre academy three times a week.

The learning content involves some quite professional knowledge of inscriptions, concepts related to terminal operating systems and psionic networks.

These courses sound difficult, but they are actually like construction workers. Even if they really don't understand anything, they can always learn some safety regulations and operating methods if they study hard.

Those who are well-informed know that this territory is about to install a crystal terminal system from Canaan Moore, especially those who have channels in the imperial capital, and they are quite aware that Isengard of the Ellen family has been quite active recently.

As the Prophet's friend and spokesperson in the imperial capital, he spared no effort to apply for many preferential policies for Ian, and established Xiahui's chamber of commerce channel.

But the more intelligent people discovered one important point: the Lord Bai Zhimin did not seem to intend to place his relatives in the local government team. Only those who have received the education of the cadre school can hold the management positions in the Xiahui leader and the mountain people. serve.

Moreover, any cadres, including Qingchao, who are pure force factions, must also go to school, read many books, and receive higher education.

Although it hasn't been clearly stated yet, it seems that if you want to be a leader in Xiahui, you don't rely on blood, nor do you simply rely on force, but you need...knowledge.

Education is needed.

The wind of education is blowing to the entire Xiahui collar.

Although it is only the simplest basic mathematics and characters, the Xiahui Territory officials are indeed committed to eliminating illiteracy in the territory.

No matter who it is, even the Orion Herbal Gatherers who stay in the mountains all day long, they also need to receive teaching, and the city hall will issue a 'study subsidy' to every student whose full attendance rate meets the standard.

Although only half of these subsidies are money, the other half is also quite practical materials such as food, milk, fruit and oil.

For the people of Nanling who have just been hit by a food disaster for more than a year, this thing is much more beneficial than sending money directly.

time flies.

Fast forward to the year 774 on Terra, December.

Four peaceful months passed, and nothing major happened.

The second batch of large-scale planting of Xiahuiling's agricultural building version of Xiahui Grass has a good harvest. Compared with the first experimental batch, the output has grown significantly, and the total output value has even reached an exaggerated 67 talers.

This is not counting that the price will usher in another increase after being processed into a spiritual nourishing extract by the alchemy workshop.

You must know that in the past Leian Territory era, the net profit of the entire territory was about 20 talers per year after deducting the tax and the share of the cost price provided to Nauman City and the imperial capital.

Then get rid of the territory itself to maintain public facilities, renovate roads and repair the city's appearance, give farmers planting subsidies, maintain alchemy workshops and research funds and other needs.

In the era of Laian, the wealth at the disposal of the lord was about [-] to [-] talers per year.

That's why Baron Ryan was able to carry out his resurrection experiment because he was so rich.

Otherwise, a professional laboratory-level training chamber would cost two to three thousand talers. There are more than forty in his laboratory, and all kinds of alchemy and psionic equipment are even more expensive, which makes people gasp.

However, after Ian reformed the way of agricultural production, the output rate of the agricultural building, which can use the natural fields of Xiahui Territory more efficiently, directly tripled.

According to the current research performance, the Xiahui grass, which originally produced more than once a year, or even more than two years, has reached a stable harvest speed of eight months under professional training.

What does this mean?
This is another two to three times improvement!Putting it all together, it is at least a six-fold increase!

The annual net profit of Xiahui Ling came to 100 million talers, a terrifying figure for a single territory.

Of course, Xiahui grass is the main pillar industry of Xiahui collar today. It can be said that in addition to Xiahui grass, the current Xiahui collar only makes money from the contract of coating chemicals... and the 100 million, there are more than half of it. Used in territory construction.

Libraries, schools, bathhouses, theaters, terminal laying, mountain development, mining exploration... too many places cost money, among other things, Ian saw it on the way of the Xingxing Road. The 'Asphalt Road' leading directly to Nauman City and Indigo Mountain costs a lot.

Even if Ian plagiarized his own city plan, he could save a considerable amount of time for actual construction, but construction also required money and people.

Not to mention the manufacturing and maintenance of the 'armor', and the cost of the element crystallization production line... These are bottomless pits, even Ian frowned at a glance.

——It is true to say that it is military industry profiteering, but the money spent on military industry research and development is also huge!

But this has to be done, because Ian has a lot of weapons that he doesn't want to share with the empire, which will increase the obstacles for him to conquer all of Terra in the future.

He must independently establish Nanling's military industry department.

Fortunately, Ian signed another weapon contract with the Flint Group. The coating agent can not only be used on the armor, but can also be used on the engine for reinforcement and short-term overclocking. This is a brand new method of utilization This gave the alchemists on the side of the empire a lot of inspiration, which got another round of funding.

The clustering of the magnetic storm system also gave the empire's infantry units the means to deal with some armored units-and the related electromagnetic barriers can indeed create an information black hole in some areas, facilitating the actions of the empire's squad.

In addition, the Canaan Moore side also designated Xiahui Ling and Harrison Port as the "trade window" of Nanling. In the long run, this is also an extremely lucrative funding channel.

It's a pity that the far water can't dissolve the near fire. The profits from the second batch of Xiahui grass are basically spent on military construction, and Ian didn't keep any for himself.

Of course, he didn't lose at all.

Today's Ian needs materials of the fourth energy level that are extremely difficult to buy with money, and the development of the territory and the popularization of artificial soul technology have continuously improved the basic quality of Xiahui's personnel.

But what is really important is that the mountain people have also started to build agricultural buildings and began to pursue the task of '100% food self-sufficiency'.

This is a five-year plan. The mountain people are developing northwards towards the Black Marsh area. There is a fertile slope plain below the mountain, which is most suitable for planting crops, and the rivers and lakes along the way are also suitable for building agricultural buildings. Good grain storage.

When everyone knows that they will not starve to death, people's pursuit will increase a lot in an instant.

Most people who don't have enough to eat, think about how to get enough to eat every day.

Solving the problem of the mountain people's long-standing difficulty in eating, with the prestige of this matter, Ian held a meeting of mountain chief priests in the Midra Autonomous Region.

After the meeting, the mountain people confirmed the belief system with Ian as the main core, especially after Ian showed his heart light body, the guiding star that illuminates the entire venue, he easily convinced all the mountain chiefs present .

——Master, my name is your master, if you had said that you were in the third energy level, how dare we think carefully.

In this regard, Ian's impression is that "the weapon of criticism is really not as good as the criticism of weapons".

The people of Terra are really cheap in this regard. If they don't give them a little deterrence, they will be careful no matter what.

If it wasn't for the fact that Immovable Fortified City Ian has been repairing the body of the dark gold giant dragon with the Dragon King in Dragon Island recently, and he is still reading the information database of Dragon Island by the way, he will definitely think of a way to get a projection of the dark gold giant dragon. Properly use the identity of the dragon god to declare who is orthodox!

In addition, Ian also reflected on himself - he made the mountain people full, and this group of people used to have nothing to do except find something to eat, and now they are full, don't they just think wildly?

In the final analysis, the quality of the mountain people is indeed not very good. They have always been aggressive. When there is an enemy, this kind of character is courage, but if there is no enemy and they are very idle...they will fight among themselves.

Therefore, Ian wanted to build a school in the major autonomous regions of the mountain people in the past, and now in the 'Jurisdiction of the Earl of Silver Peak'.

The teacher of the school was the original tribal priest.

This caused shock and dissatisfaction among the mountain people-who would teach their knowledge to ordinary tribal people?Compared with the countries of Terra, the system of the mountain people is even more backward.

But Ian didn't care one bit.

If you don't want to open it, have resistance, and don't want to teach others knowledge, then you will die.

"For me, it's just changing to another group of people as priests."

In this regard, Ian expressed his opinion straightforwardly: "Listen to my order, or go to see Dragon God, you choose."

Although everyone seemed to be devout, no one wanted to meet the Dragon God.

Mountain people are good dragons belong to it.
