At this time, Ms. Saga, the port governor of Nashrame, was convening a staff meeting on the specific use of some equipment imported from Vazuan.
When Vazuan was rebuilt and Prince Regent Jin Yu was brought out, among the representatives of various city-states, the performance of the representative of Nasramei was undoubtedly the most generous.
Nashrame, who had just made a lot of money from the Noxians, even generously ordered a series of lighting equipment directly, intending to directly light up an urban area!
As for why the Nashra Americans are so generous... let's start with the city's municipal construction.
You must know that what Kalya saw along the way, the public facilities in the style of the Shurima Empire that the Nashrami people have worked hard to preserve to this day, are generally only three types: water supply and drainage facilities, transportation and road administration facilities, and ancient buildings.
Among them, most of the water supply and drainage facilities have been abandoned.
The dual-network water network that originally relied on the Sun Disk has now dried up. Nasramei can only carry out targeted transformation of the preserved water supply facilities. Naturally, there is no cheap tap water, and only a few water supply pipes are still connected.
Water storage tanks provide high-priced water to some urban areas.
The drainage facilities are still running well because Nasramei is close to the sea. Unfortunately, the sewage treatment device has almost completely failed. The entire city's wastewater can only be simply allowed to stand and filtered before being discharged directly into the ocean - good
There is not much water that can be used in Nasi Lame, and there are no highly polluting industries locally. Relying on the self-cleaning ability of the ocean, drainage pollution is not yet a problem.
As for the ancient buildings, after years of repairs and renovations, they are like the Ship of Theseus. They are completely different from the original ones. In addition to the similar appearance, the interiors of these ancient buildings have also changed greatly, and
The functions are also completely different, so this part is considered the purest cosplay.
Therefore, after the sun disk was erected and the ancient buildings were repaired and restored to the extreme, Nasramei wanted to continue to carry forward the glory of the Shurima Empire, so working on transportation and road infrastructure became the only direction.
To this day, the scale of streets and vehicle standards in Nasramei still follow the requirements of the Shurima Empire era, and there are even special parking spaces for Doman Behemoths on the main roads.
The material of the street pavement has always maintained the requirements of the Shurima Empire. It must use solid rock blocks shaped by rock elemental mages as the base, and then pour them with paint and roll them flat. At first glance, it looks like a
Brilliant atmosphere!
On both sides of the road, the lighting devices from the Shurima Empire period - street lamps and Nasramei have also been preserved.
However, what is more embarrassing is that even if the craftsmen of Nasramei can perfectly reproduce the shells of these street lamps, the lighting system in them is highly dependent on the energy transmission of the magic network. Without the magic network, Nasramei will eventually have no choice but to
On the main roads, expensive whale oil is used to light these magic street lamps.
Even though it costs a lot of money to purchase lighting devices and follow-up facilities from Vazuan, in fact, the consumption of using whale oil to light street lamps is actually more expensive - even though Nasramei is close to the sea, it is close to Valoran.
In fact, there are no large-scale whale activities in the strait. If you want to buy whale oil, you have to buy it from the old seals in Bilgewater at a high price, and then you have to pay an additional luxury tax when passing through the Piltover Canal.
.
Replacing whale oil lighting with Vazuan's new lighting equipment will be a cheaper option in the long run.
Moreover, although whale oil lighting is quite effective, it is somewhat inferior to the public lighting recorded in books during the ancient Shurima Empire.
Although everyone is well aware that during the Shurima Empire, the lighting method was not Hex technology, but for the traffickers, they do not understand Hex technology, but they know how to burn whale oil. Compared to the bumpkin
Usually whale oil is used to fill the air, but the Hex Technology cosplay looks more like that.
Therefore, even though it costs a lot of money to purchase these devices, Saga's staff unanimously believe that the money is well spent.
However, the attitude of the staff is no longer unified on the issue of "in which urban district should the new lighting installation be deployed?"
Some people think that it should be placed in the aristocratic area to give the upper class the best enjoyment.
Some people think that whale oil lamps should be placed in commercial districts instead of whale oil lamps to attract more businessmen.
Some people also say that they should be placed in civilian areas to absorb more desert nomads and thus expand the urban area.
Everyone has their own ideas and reasons. Everyone has prepared a speech that sounds quite reliable and clearly explains their opinions.
As for Saga, who was sitting in the main seat, his body's center of gravity was slightly backward, leaning on the large chair, tilting his head slightly, squinting his eyes, quietly listening to everyone's thoughts, and occasionally speaking.
Will nod.
But from beginning to end, Saga's expression did not change at all, and no one could see any tendency or attitude on her face.
In fact, the staff who dared not take a breath did not know that their female supervisor was actually wandering in the sky at this time.
That's right, although she was in a meeting, Ms. Saga was actually wandering away in her mind.
This lady governor, who is nearly forty years old but still has her charm, although her right hand is unconsciously caressing her slender thigh under her silk robe, there is no memory of last night's pleasure in her head - the reason why she ran away.
On the one hand, she doesn't really care where the lighting facilities are placed, and on the other hand, it's because she has been thinking about a big plan recently.
Although when people talk about Nashilami, they often cannot avoid the think tank under the female port governor, but in fact, unlike what people think of as a "courteous and virtuous corporal who draws on everyone's strengths", Saga is actually a person with his own ideas.
.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Saga has never been afraid to delegate power, not because she is generous, but because she delegates power that she does not care about.
Just like now.
For small issues such as where to install the new lighting facilities, she would hold meetings with great seriousness, listen to the opinions of her subordinates humbly, and would even make a decision without any changes based on the final result of everyone's discussion.
However, on some matters that she considers very important, even if all her staff are opposed to them, she will still oppose them without hesitation - just like her previous decision to fall out with Noxus.
At that time, Saga was even prepared to fight Noxus at all costs. At her request, her staff and staff collected and calculated huge data, estimated the number of Noxians who might land in the early stage, and planned to
When the opponent makes the slightest move, take the initiative and give the Noxians a hard blow. It's best to take advantage of the opportunity and capture Uzeris directly.
However, Uzerith’s silly port governor—oh, it should be called the orderly officer now—Fin Tang finally realized the problem, and he was unwilling to let Uzerith become the front line of the battle between Noxus and Shurima.
, and did not want to become cannon fodder for Noxus. With his full mediation and the strategic shift of the Noxians to the east, this war did not start.
(By the way, the "Ramos' appearance" speculated by Karja did not really happen, and the rumors and gossip about Ramos's appearance were actually spread by Saga on his own initiative.)
Whether it is to build a sun disk or to break up with the Noxians, Saga has only one purpose - she wants to be the second Setaka.
……………………
Saga is planning his new action.
Kalya, who recovered from the state of thinking about the country after seeing things, after getting rid of the complicated emotions, saw many clues in the details of the city of Nasramei.
Although he didn't know Saga's specific ambitions, after being led by Lux on a tour of Nashrame, Kalya was extremely sure that the female governor probably had a big plan.
Even if Lux and Ino were just strolling around and did not take the initiative to go to some sensitive areas (such as city walls and city gates), whether it was the guards maintaining order in the streets or the urban area that had obviously been professionally planned;
The number of urban residents jostling one after another, as well as the amazing scale and complete range of professional markets, fully illustrate the uniqueness of this city.
Although it is different from Piltover and Zaun, which are full of vitality and everything is competing, for those who have not really experienced the Shuriman Empire like Kalya, Nashrame is indeed
It will give people an extremely grand and profound feeling.
Even for Lux and Ino, who were taught by Kalya personally, Nasramei satisfied many imaginations about that glorious empire!
Lux and Ino are like this, let alone those desert remnants?
At first, Kalya just laughed, but as he smiled, he noticed something was wrong.
If a city draws its legal system from the Shurima Empire, claims to be the orthodox inheritance of Shurima, and its residents are descendants of the people of the Shurima Empire, the city's style is also very close to the Shurima Empire...
Does that mean that in the eyes of many people, it is the Shurima Empire?
In other words, if this city can expand into an empire, will it be the next Shurima Empire?
Thinking about this, Kalya finally had some enlightenment - his previous judgment of Nashrami seemed to have a certain deviation. Nashrami said that they wanted to revive Shurima, but their definition of Shurima seemed to be different from that of Shurima.
There are some deviations in Kalya's perception.
To be precise, it seems that the Shurima that Nashirama wants to revive is a civilization that looks as high as the Shurima Empire, but at its core has nothing to do with the Shurima Empire... New Shurima.
How interesting!
It seems that this Ms. Saga has quite a lot of ambition!
Of course, Kalya actually doesn't mind if someone has ambitions. Even if Nashramet is superficial, it is still far superior to other cities that Kalya has seen along the way.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Northern Shurima, apart from Vazuan, I am afraid that only Nashiramei has the ability and spare money to hold a celebratory festival like Rammos Day.
From a development perspective, Nasramei has done quite well.
But what worries Kalya more is that he actually wants to know what Nasramai will rely on after the Ionian War ends and the Noxians stop large-scale military purchases and even start internal strife.
How to maintain his lavish tycoon spirit?
Where will the ambition of this female port governor fall?
Without the Noxian warband's lavish purchases, there is more business competition from Varzuan in the east...
Even at this moment, Nashram's trade is still prosperous, but how long can this prosperity last?
When the merchants' rejection of Uzeris gradually subsides, and when Shurima's business level gradually returns to normal, can Nashrame go further just by relying on the low-cost labor advantage brought by attracting desert immigrants?
There are slums in Naslam.
Judging from their accents, most of the poor people here are desert immigrants from other places. Although they have become members of Nashrami, Nashrame does not have sufficient municipal conditions to maintain their relatively decent life.
In other words, Nasrameh does not intend to give them a relatively decent life.
Even though the southern city wall is being renovated and expanded to continue to increase the city area, without the energy supply from the sun disk, the city area of Nasramei has reached its limit.
Vazuan, which originally owned the canal, also experienced this step. The result was that due to the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, Vazuan eventually became Zaun and Piltover.
In Nasramei, as long as the female port governor is not stupid, she will never allow the city to be divided due to some reasons - and judging from her methods towards the Noxians, she obviously does not
stupid.
When the Ramos Day parade on the street ended and Lux and Ino returned to the hotel with satisfaction, Kalya, who had been observing silently for two days, finally obtained the answer through elimination.
Nashirama is planning a war.
In other words, unless the Nashrami people secretly have some magical or technological breakthrough that can maintain their continued development like Hex technology and alchemy rune technology, otherwise war is the inevitable thing that the Nashramei will face.
At least from Kalya's point of view, he had no idea that besides war, there was anything else that could absorb the desert remnants attracted by Nasramei's crazy hoarding of prestige. What else could keep Nasramei's momentum of continued development?
It can prevent the internal divisions that Nashirama may face next.
So, here comes the problem.
If Nashrami were to start a war, who would its target be?
Considering the civil war in Noxus, considering the conflict between the Rakkor people and Noxus due to conscription, and considering the long-term commercial competition and lack of confrontation between the neighboring city and Uzeris, the answer to this question is easy to come out.
.
Uzeris.
After reaching this conclusion, Kalya finally sighed helplessly.
