Although it is a good thing that your territory has not changed much, at least it is a good thing that there are no changes in the report, which proves that your territory is still very stable.
But Li Ke still felt something was strange.
So when he looked at the townspeople in his territory, Li Ke had doubts in his heart.
In his eyes, a large part of the city he built has once again been perfected. It can even be said that many places have been completely perfected.
Several libraries and several parks that were not completed before he left are now being transplanted with flowers and trees and planted with trees by countless hard-working workers.
Many of the flowers and plants here were transplanted from other places, and some were simply excavated from Stranglethorn Vale and delivered by speedboat within a week.
Of course, many are bred.
But because of the appearance of the night elves, Li Ke saw several workers receiving help from the druids to revive some dying plants in his city.
Tyrande had originally thought of leaving him in Mount Hyjal, but the Moon Goddess suggested that she send Li Ke back to her own territory, so Tyrande brought a fleet to Li Ke's territory.
Then with Jennifer's concession, he entered this town.
After all, Jennifer was the top official in this place when he left.
But Jennifer also knew very well that she was not able to protect this place like him, not to mention that he was still in Tyrande's hands at the time, so surrendering was the best choice.
What's more, she doesn't know anything about night elves.
But don't think about this. Li Ke looked at his energetic subjects, watching them greet each other skillfully, go to the canteen to eat, go to work in the factory, or send their children to missionary schools. Li Ke had a sense of
A feeling of satisfaction.
But that strange feeling appeared again.
"Why wasn't there any trouble?"
Li Ke frowned and looked at everything he saw in front of him, while slowly chewing a piece of pie. When he said this, Van Cleef, who hurried back because he was sleeping, was stunned for a moment, and then
I couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it a good thing that there hasn't been any trouble? And you've prepared everything. Why do you think trouble will happen just after you've been away for a month?"
He didn't understand Li Ke's brain circuit at all, because in his opinion, Li Ke shouldn't have such thoughts.
Even if a kingdom is without a king, it may not fall into chaos within a month. What's more, Li Ke's territory does not have many famous people. The famous foremen are not Defias like them who are used to living a hard life.
Those who surrender are Li Ke's subordinates.
Why does Li Ke think there will be trouble in such a place?
"No, Fandel..."
Li Ke frowned. His territory had been expanding crazily, whether it was industry or other things. There should have been many problems.
For example, farmers are radicalizing and creating some strange things, and other things.
But there is nothing.
The farmers accepted everything he did well, and the church members who came to him had no objections at all. The dwarves integrated smoothly into their own society.
But why do I feel strange?
Li Ke looked into the distance and couldn't help but think.
"It's not like other people's territories where you can't afford food. And even if you can't afford food, it will take at least a month before problems arise. Your territory is already there."
Van Cleef snorted coldly, and came to Li Ke with a lot of information, including information about the nobles of Stormwind City and information about some gangs in the Western Wilderness, but Li Ke seemed not to be interested at all.
It was as if these things were no longer what he needed to pay attention to.
"There should be a deeper reason."
Li Ke frowned, finished the last piece of pie, and then looked at the document in front of him.
Compared with the previous documents, the issues in this document are not so exciting.
Corruption and bribery, as well as some policy misinterpretations.
In the month since the demon staff disappeared, the human staff who were temporarily elected have accepted bribes to varying degrees, but strictly speaking in this world it cannot be considered bribery, but 'legitimate income'.
That is to say, you don’t have to pay for meals, you are a little more relaxed when reimbursing public expenses, and when you pay taxes, you give a portion to the tax collectors so that they can calculate the taxes and fees so that there will be no excess.
That is to say, in medieval society, there were some agreed-upon ways for grassroots officials to generate income. In the past, demons did not have such needs, but humans did.
Obviously everyone can have enough food and clothing, and everyone can get what they want by following the rules, but there are always people who want to take shortcuts and want public officials to care more about themselves.
"Credibility and education at the grassroots level are still not enough..."
Li Ke scratched his head, sighed, looked at the backbone members eating with him, and nodded.
"When everything is done eating, let's go to the street and take a look."
After not showing up for such a long time, he should go out for some fresh air and let people in his territory see him.
No one had any intention of objecting, but Van Cleef rolled his eyes, because Li Ke's town now has many merchants from Stormwind City, so it is better for him not to show too much publicity now.
Li Ke tidied up a little, put on a white cloak, rode on his white horse, and walked out of his castle.
But when he appeared in his garden, some sharp-eyed townspeople had already seen him and couldn't help but cheer.
"Long live Mr. Li Ke!"
"Master Li Ke is awake! Long live!"
Such calls gradually resounded as he appeared at the gate, and people who were doing business or working subconsciously gathered around him. Even people in the distance were listening.
When they heard the news and saw Li Ke's shadow, they couldn't help but gather around.
Countless cheers resounded throughout the town, and Li Ke kept waving to them, responding to the cheers of his people.
Because these people really loved him, Li Ke was very helpful and the smile on his face became a little more sincere.
If you want to talk about why he wants to fight, this scene is probably one of the reasons.
His guards quickly separated a path among the crowd, allowing Li Ke to safely get out of the siege of his subjects.
But among these people, he saw many strangers' faces, some whose faces were not very similar to those of Stormwind people.
And a large group of people just watched him silently, but did not cheer, and there were still confused people in their eyes.
"Those are refugees from Lordaeron. Your territory has accepted them very well, but they don't seem to adapt to the life here. The main reason is that most of their skills are of little use here, especially the workers.
Their skills are not as sophisticated as the dwarves, and their workshops will be crushed by our factories, so many Lordaeron people who were sent over have not found jobs now."
Grayson appeared next to Li Ke at the right time and explained to Li Ke, causing Fandal to look at the demon in shock.
He really couldn't imagine how the other party knew so much information in such a short period of time!
"I remember we had a development order, but we must be very short of manpower now."
Li Ke frowned. How could he, a major industrial town, not be short of people?
"This is for you, but for most people, this kind of life is already the limit. They can't think of a better life in their minds, so in the short period of time when you can't deal with government affairs, you have to develop projects
There are still very few, so naturally there is no need for more positions, and for various reasons, local people do not really want to tell these people how to get better positions, and because of our lack, the main person in charge
We didn’t preach to these refugees very well either.”
Grayson reported softly.
Only then did Li Ke realize that something was wrong. While he was sleeping, although the existing work was going well, no new factories, new industrial sites, or new projects had appeared!
However, the reward and punishment system he left behind is still functioning normally, and Li Ke has also seen many new inventions.
But no new projects appeared!
"No wonder I feel weird..."
Li Ke pursed his lips, and rationally told him that this was very wrong, because a force that embarks on the industrial road cannot theoretically stop, especially if it has given the road itself.
Although nothing can be seen after a month, Li Ke still feels that there must be something that he has overlooked.
"But what is it?"
Li Ke began to think about what he had overlooked, and he slowly walked out of the town.
He planned to inspect the condition of the farmland.
Along the way, Li Ke saw many enthusiastic townspeople. A few brave girls even made their own invitations to Li Ke. One even made croissants for Li Ke to taste.
Li Ke symbolically ate a small snack given by an enthusiastic female bakery owner, but was immediately reminded by Grayson that such small snacks are usually reserved for men and women who want to go to the straw pile in the stable.
A small snack that the other party will give as a gift if they don't agree.
But he didn't say anything, he just ate the snack without much sugar in silence.
But Li Ke's mood finally became better when he saw the wheat field.
The endless new wheat is constantly swaying in the slightly cold air. This is the special thing about the Western Wilderness. There is basically no winter and wheat can be grown all year round, especially now that the wheat is still a variety improved by the shadow believers.
, high yield and very few pests, which can be said to be quite perfect.
Looking at the busy machines in the fields, the machines spraying pesticides, and the farmers carrying baskets of fertilizers, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Fertilizer was the first thing he came up with, relying on magic and other black technologies, combined with the alchemy of this world.
But now, it is barely able to fully supply its own territory, which can be said to be quite difficult.
It can be said that there are still many, many things that we lack, and we need as much as the workers can get.
So, why didn’t any of the human leadership team that he cultivated step forward at this time to recruit the refugees from Lordaeron on his behalf?
Li Ke rubbed his temples, feeling that his blood pressure was a little high, but he took a look at the wheat fields that had been transformed by the shadow power and the fertilized black soil.
When I came to Del, the anxiety of not having talent got much better.
At least he can recruit people from other places.
"Fandral, how do you feel? This thing called fertilizer?"
Li Ke asked with some pride.
But he never expected that Fandral would shake his head decisively.
"It's not very good. My compatriots obviously don't pay attention to it."
Fandral looked at the wheat seedlings and black soil in his hands and couldn't help but frown.
"Some elements in these soils exceed the standard. Although it will promote the growth of plants in the short term, it will also destroy the balance of the land, causing some tiny organisms to be unable to grow normally, and causing unexpected diseases to occur in food, such as
If I am not wrong about this land, and if I keep cultivating it like this, the demand for this kind of peculiar fertilizer will increase next year, and this method of fertilization can easily disappear with the rain.
, leading to a series of troubles, and there will be a lot of such troubles in this area."
Fandral clapped his hands, and then stood up with a solemn expression.
"I heard from other druids before that there was a novel fertilizer here. I thought it was so magical, but I didn't expect that there were so many omissions. But I have to say that the person who made this fertilizer is a genius. It's just that
Obviously, his fertilizer is not perfect enough. It should be combined with more fertilizers, and it is best to use Druid's spells to balance it, so that it can be as much as possible without harming the land.
Make food more productive."
Fandral was speechless. His fellow druids obviously did not carefully examine the situation here and think about other problems caused by these fertilizers.
But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, most druids have only just woken up, and their minds are not very clear yet——
This is not a derogatory meaning, but a problem that will inevitably arise if they have been in contact with the Emerald Dream for too long and do not have a firm will.
Because of this, many druids sometimes behave in quite embarrassing ways.
Some druids even regard themselves as animals and plants, which is not a strange thing.
only……
Fandal looked at Li Ke's smile and had an idea in his mind.
So, being keen, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"I wonder if you would like me to help you improve this fertilizer?"
