Chapter 880 Desire for a Defeat (12)

——The future rolls in, regardless of people’s opinions.

Hearing these words, Adlbert felt a tremor from his heart.

He finally understood what Ian was thinking.

Different from Inega II, different from Archduke Thorin...

It is different from all the confident, arrogant and arrogant kings on Terra...

Ian never expects to be 'right', nor does he want to create 'eternity'.

He does not pursue the eternal lineage, 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 operate stably for hundreds or thousands of years.

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

He believes that he 'will succeed now' and 'will eventually be eliminated' in the future.

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

But that's not Ian's dream or goal.

Ian’s goal…

"Only high in the sky."

He said with some trembling: "You only want that, right? Apart from that, everything will wait until later."

"Yes."

Ian's eyes were gentle and firm, and he did not hesitate at all: "When humans can really travel to distant places safely, my system will be eliminated - but before that, I will create a world where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. A world that worries about food and clothing.”

"So, Adlbert, are you willing to go to failure with me?" He issued an invitation.

"How could I say no?"

Closing his eyes, the researcher smiled bitterly.

But soon, he opened his eyes, and his bitter smile turned into a real smile: "So far, my research has not made even one mistake. Even the dead king, although the results are not satisfactory, it can be considered a success."

Adalbert's eyes lit up, as scarlet as flames, and the usually gentle Dead King researcher showed a firm expression: "It's not just you, Ian."

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

Ian smiled.

The Heart of Terra hangs quietly at the top of the blood-red sky.

The silver sun shines upon it all.

The communication and creation that takes place in the chip space are destined to remain unknown to outsiders.

The leadership team led by Xia Hui was exposed to the taste of change for the first time.

In the first month after Ian's return.

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

Because they have explored the perfect alchemy park construction site in the Xiakou area between Xiahui Ling and Midela Autonomous Region, and have begun construction.

Within Xiahui Ling, many city hall staff are required to attend study classes held by the Cadre Academy three times a week.

The learning content involves some quite professional inscription knowledge, concepts related to terminal operating systems and psychic networks.

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

Well-informed people know that this is the territory that is about to lay out the crystal terminal system from Canaan Moore, especially those well-informed people with channels in the Imperial City. They know that Isengard of the Ellen family has been very 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 build Xiahui's chamber of commerce channels.

But smarter people have discovered an important point: the Bai Zhimin lord does not seem to intend to place his relatives in the local government team. Only those who have received cadre school education can hold management positions within Xiahui Ling and the mountain people. Serve.

Moreover, any cadre, including pure militants like Qingchao, must go to school, read many books, and receive higher education.

Although it hasn't been stated clearly yet, it seems that if you want to get to the top in Xiahui Territory, you don't rely on blood or just force, but you need...knowledge.

Education is needed.

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

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

No matter who they are, even the Orion herb collectors who stay in the mountains all day long, they still need to receive teaching, and the city hall will issue a ‘study subsidy’ to every student who meets the attendance limit.

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

For the people of Nanling, who have just suffered from a food disaster for more than a year, this thing is much more affordable than sending money directly.

time flies.

Soon it was December, Terra 774.

Four peaceful months passed, and nothing major happened.

The second batch of Xia Hui Ling's large-scale planting of agricultural building version Xia Hui grass had a bumper harvest. Compared with the first experimental batch, the output increased significantly, and the total output value even reached an exaggerated 670,000 thalers.

This does not take into account that after being processed into the spiritual nourishing extract through the alchemy workshop, the price will increase again.

You must know that in the past Leian Territory era, the net profit of the entire territory after excluding taxes and the share of the cost price provided to Nauman City and the Imperial Capital was about two hundred thousand thalers per year.

In addition to the territory's own needs for maintaining public facilities, renovating roads and repairing the city's appearance, providing farmers with planting subsidies, maintaining alchemy workshops and research funds, etc.

In the Leianland era, the wealth available to the lords was approximately 70,000 to 90,000 thalers per year.

It is because he is so rich that Baron Ryan can carry out his resurrection experiment.

Otherwise, a professional laboratory-level cultivation chamber would cost two to three thousand thalers. There were more than forty in his laboratory, and the various alchemy and psychic equipment were even more expensive.

However, after Ian reformed the agricultural production method, the output rate of the agricultural building that can utilize the natural fields of Xiahui Territory with higher efficiency was tripled from the original.

According to current research results, Xiahui grass, which originally produced more than once a year or even two years, has been able to be harvested stably once every eight months under professional cultivation.

What does this mean?

This is another two to three times improvement! Taken together, it is at least a six-fold improvement!

The annual net profit of Xiahui Territory reached one million talers, a terrifying figure for a single territory.

Of course, Xia Hui grass is the main pillar industry of Xia Hui Ling today. It can be said that, except for Xia Hui grass, the current Xia Hui Ling only makes money from the plating agent contract... And most of this million is still there. It should be used for territory construction.

Libraries, schools, bathhouses, theaters, terminal laying, mountain development, mining exploration... there are too many places that cost money, not to mention other things, Ian himself saw it on the Fading Star Road, the one from Xiahui Ling The 'asphalt avenue' that leads directly to Nauman City and Indigo Mountain costs a lot.

Even if Ian copied his own city plan and could save a lot of time for actual construction, construction also requires money and people.

Not to mention the manufacturing and maintenance of the 'armor', as well as the cost of the element crystallization production line... These are bottomless pits. Even Ian frowned after taking a look at them.

——It is true to say that the military industry is making huge profits, but the amount of money spent on military research and development is also huge!

But he had to do it, because Ian had many weapon ideas that he did not want to share with the Empire, which would increase the obstacles for him to conquer all of Terra in the future.

He must independently establish Nanling's military industry department.

Fortunately, Ian has signed another weapons contract with the Firestone Group. The plating agent can not only be used on armor, but can also be used on engines for reinforcement and short-term overclocking. This is a new method of utilization. This gave the alchemists on the Empire side a lot of inspiration, which gained another amount of funding.

The clustering of the magnetic storm system also gives 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 to facilitate the actions of the empire's squads.

In addition, Canaan Moore has also designated Xia Hui Ling and Harrison Port as the "trade windows" of Nanling. In the long run, this is also an extremely lucrative funding channel.

Unfortunately, the distant water could not resolve the nearby fire. The profits from the second batch of Xiahui grass were basically spent on military construction, and Ian did not leave any for himself.

Of course, he didn't lose at all.

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

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

This is a five-year plan. The mountain people are developing towards the Black Swamp area to the north. It is a fertile mountain slope plain that is most suitable for growing crops. The rivers and lakes along the way are also suitable for building agricultural buildings. It will be an absolutely perfect place. Excellent grain warehouse.

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

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

The mountain people's long-standing problem of feeding themselves was solved. With the power of this incident, Ian held a conference of mountain people chiefs and priests in the Midela Autonomous Region.

After the meeting, the mountain people determined a belief system with Ian as the main core. Especially after Ian showed his heart light body, the guiding star that illuminated the entire meeting, he easily convinced all the mountain chiefs present. .

——Master, I call you Master. If you had said that you were at the third level, how dare we have any small thoughts.

In this regard, Ian's feeling is that "the weapon of criticism is indeed inferior to the criticism of the weapon."

The Terran people are really mean in this regard. If you don't give them any mental, physical, or psychological deterrent, they will be cautious in everything they do.

If it weren't for the fact that Ian from Fudo Fortress has been repairing the body of the dark gold dragon with the Dragon King in Dragon Island recently, and was still reading the information library of Dragon Island by the way, he would definitely find a way to get a projection of the dark gold dragon. Use your identity as Dragon God to declare who is the orthodox one!

In addition, Ian also reflected on himself - he fed the mountain people, so these people used to have nothing to do except find food to eat. Now that they are full, don't they just think about it?

In the final analysis, the quality of the mountain people is indeed not very good. They have always been competitive and brave. When there is an enemy, this character is courage. But if there are no enemies and they are particularly free... they will fight among themselves.

Therefore, Ian wants to build schools one after another in the major autonomous regions where the mountain people used to be, and now the 'Jurisdiction of Earl Silver Peak'.

The teacher of the school is the original tribal priest.

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

But Ian didn't care one bit.

If you are unwilling to open up, have resistance, and are unwilling to teach others knowledge, then you will die.

"To me, it's just another group of people becoming priests."

In this regard, Ian expressed his opinion straightforwardly: "Listen to my orders, or go to see the Dragon God, it is your choice."

Although everyone seems to be very religious, no one wants to see the Dragon God.

The mountain people are good at dragons.
