Although the form is great, no matter how good the current situation looks, it is just a perfect start.
That's right, judging from the results alone, in just one afternoon, Zaun has changed the world.
The Alchemist Baron's thugs are not worth mentioning in front of the angry workers, and the few drugged lunatics will be easily dealt with by Lux - sometimes even without Lux taking action, Sevika and Fander will teach them
Be a human being.
By evening, 60% of Zaun's factories had returned to the workers' hands, at least in name. This was because Lux had not completed a full circle in Zaun.
It seems that a bright future has appeared in everyone's eyes, and Zaun will soon become a paradise on earth.
However, after Kalya's reminder, Lux, who had a full understanding of Zaun's society and economy, knew very well that this scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing was just a superficial phenomenon brought about by everything going well in the beginning.
Despite the results, Zaun also faced many problems.
First of all, Zaun does not yet have a complete administrative organization - although almost everyone is willing to obey Lux's orders, and to a certain extent, they are also willing to listen to Fander's words, but that's where it ends.
A giant city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and only two talkers... will inevitably fall into chaos after this impact is over!
Fortunately, the workers in Zaun themselves are united in neighborhoods and factories, and they stick to each other - their foremen are very prestigious and often literate, so they can serve as temporary grassroots organizers.
With the foremen restraining the workers, and Fandel and Silko's men keeping an eye on the chaotic black market and dark alleys, order in Zaun can be maintained for a short period of time.
Although it is not a long-term solution, at least until all the alchemy barons are completely defeated and the entire Zaun is taken over, Lux does not have to worry about this - she still has time to slowly build an organization.
What is more urgent than establishing an organization is resuming production.
Except for a few factories that have been recaptured because their production capacity is so poor and their pollution is so serious that they can only be closed down, all others must resume production.
The Zaun people needed to eat, and the food purchased from Fenn and shipped back from Kumangla could not last them long.
Lux has no conditions and cannot provide food to all the Zaans unconditionally. Although the food in the granary of Fulgrim Tavern is being quickly distributed by foremen, this is not a long-term solution after all.
The workers of Zaun will eventually work and exchange their labor for payment.
But the problem is, with Piltover blocked, Zaun’s products can’t be sold now!
Why was it that after Fander stormed the Sun Gate, he had already eliminated many angry Alchemist Barons, but in the end it was someone like Finn who took over?
Because the Zaunians are good at making products that only Mrs. Piltover needs.
It is no exaggeration to say that Piltover is the only market in Zaun!
The people of Zaun are indeed hardworking and capable.
But the fruits of the labor they are good at can only be sold to Piltover - in this case, in order to survive, even if they exchange a group of alchemy barons, they will eventually be replaced by a licking dog like Finn.
Now, a similar problem was placed in front of Lux.
Should the factory start working?
If so, who should the product be sold to?
If work doesn't start, how will everyone make ends meet after taking care of the Alchemy Baron?
Lux can inspire the usually honest workers to crush the Alchemy Baron's rule, but in the long life that follows, she can't produce food just by relying on courage!
On this issue, Fandel, who had always followed orders carefully and was reliable and capable, rarely put forward his own ideas.
……………………
"Why open up a new market? If you ask me, we should just rush to Piltover!" The continuous victory made Fander's face glow red, "With Miss Lux and Ino, get on that large construct.
, rushed directly to the Sun Gate, wiped out the parliament, and captured the entire Piltover!"
"How to capture Piltover?" Lux asked, "At the cost of destroying the entire Piltover?"
"Just show your power, boss!" Fandel seemed to have his own way, "The MPs in Piltover look glamorous, but in the end they are just a bunch of cowards. Grayson and I
As I said, there is no essential difference between the Congressman and the Alchemist Baron - as long as you lead the team, we can easily occupy the academy area and cross the Gate of the Sun, and then they will only follow your orders..."
"Then what?" Lux raised her head and looked directly at Fander, "Wharf, factory, laboratory...who will receive these things? Who will manage them? Who will work?"
"Everyone is very happy to get back what the Piltovers stole." Fander opened his arms as if there were thousands of troops behind him, "Just like today in Zaun during the day."
"The workers who have taken back the factory can start working directly under the organization of the foreman." Lux pursed her lips, "But this method is not feasible in Piltover. Now we are attacking the Sun Gate, or we can let Piel go."
It will be business as usual in Twove, or a completely new administrative team will need to be established - which unfortunately we do not have the ability to do now."
"There's no need to be so polite with the Piltover guys, boss." Fandel still didn't think this was a problem, "Just send out trustworthy people and watch them work..."
"Think about the state that the law enforcement officer was in when he entered Zaun, Fander." Looking at Fander who seemed to have returned to his youth and was obviously in a state of radical fanaticism, Lux shook her head helplessly, "We haven't done it yet.
Preparation for that step!”
"We are not those useless law enforcement officers!" Fandel raised his arms and showed off his strong biceps, "The Piltover guys are all a bunch of weaklings..."
Lux sighed.
Fander's state can be said to represent the state of most Zaun people.
They saw the victory, saw the Alchemy Baron and their minions escaping in panic, saw the factories being recaptured, and saw that the ancient trade routes were about to be opened.
Violence allowed them to see the dawn of victory, and also gave them a certain degree of path dependence.
Rushing to the Gate of the Sun, occupying the parliament, seizing the bird position of a member, and electing Lux as the leader, it seems that everything will be fine.
But...how can it be so easy?
According to Janna's news, many small groups have appeared in Zaun now, and they are trying to fish in troubled waters and engage in zero-dollar shopping. When the Alchemist Baron escaped, he went to their homes by familiar means and took away the most valuable money.
things, and then come back and continue to share other "trophies" with everyone.
If we now rush to the Sun Gate with the power of victory, whether we can capture Piltover is not a question. What is certain is that the civilians of Piltover will definitely suffer.
Although in the eyes of most Zaans, anyone who is a Piltover should suffer, Lux, who has also conducted an investigation on Piltover, knows very well that most of the civilians in Piltover cannot be considered oppressive.
-Their labor income is within a generally reasonable range.
They may not be friends, but at least they shouldn't be enemies.
These Piltover civilians are not the source of Zaun's disaster, but if they send troops to Piltover now, the fanatical Zaun people will directly become the source of their disaster.
In addition, judging from the news brought back by Ike, Mrs. Piltover is not without the power to fight back.
When they are determined to defend, as long as Pi City is willing to use the Hex Crystal, even if Lux drives the construct, he may not be able to break through their defense.
According to Kalya's judgment, the most likely possibility of sending troops to Pi City now is to reluctantly advance to the canal, and then the two sides will fall into a stalemate.
Don’t forget, before Zaun cultivated the rune tree, the energy of that construct was very limited!
And before this grassroots organization in Zaun was established, and everyone's ideas were still completely different, the only result of this confrontation across the bank was that the canal was blocked, and the most innocent college area and civilian areas on the south bank of Pi City suffered.
attract external interference.
This is obviously not what Lux wants to see.
Seeing Fander in high spirits, Lux simply spread out the maps of Piltover and Zaun and told him her thoughts in detail.
"Compared to directly attacking the Sun Gate, I think it is more important to restore Zaun to its complete functions as a city..."
"Moreover, it's not just the people of Piltover who are watching Piltover. If we want to truly capture Piltover, we must be fully prepared and work together..."
"Our food supply is not sufficient. Once we reach a stalemate, the situation will be unfavorable to us..."
"As for the theory of quick victory, this is completely undesirable..."
"..."
"..."
Referring to the map and data, Lux refuted Fander's ideas one by one, leaving him speechless in the end.
After all, he had experienced a failed attack on the Sun Gate, and Fandel had a relatively clear understanding of the follow-up to the violent action.
Therefore, after calming down, he completely listened to Lux's words.
Especially after Lux told about the behavior of some bad foremen who took advantage of the situation, Fander broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, he thought of Finn, of his "partners" who had not followed him to the Sun Gate last time, and of the series of robberies these traitors took after they failed to attack the Sun Gate.
Yes, now is not the time.
Rather than attacking the Sun Gate directly, it is more important to clean up the "scabs" inside!
Realizing this, Fandel finally gave up his thoughts of rushing to the Gate of the Sun, and instead called Servica along with him, and angrily rushed out of Fulgan Tavern.
Those bastards who took advantage of the situation, Fander's iron fist is coming!
