Chapter 372: Recalled...
Freljord.
This is a more fucked up place.
If Ionia was simply a bunch of disgusting things that Li Ke didn't want to get involved in, and Piltover was a place where it was useless to intervene.
Then Freljord is just two words.
Finished.
Li Ke felt that there was absolutely no way to rise in a place like this without cheating .
It's so miserable.
First of all, the entire area is covered in ice and snow, with only two or three months of summer , which directly ruins most of the agriculture. In other words, if you want to engage in large-scale production here, the first problem you will face is food.
Without large-scale food, enough to feed most people, it is impossible to develop industry.
Everyone now says that the north in the east is a very backward and poor place, and it seems that there is nothing there except some heavily polluting industries, but it is not true.
There was a reason why a certain place was the first to be hit there.
Stable food output and abundant mineral resources are necessary conditions for the rise of a power.
But here’s the thing.
There is no good grain-producing land in Freljord, and the better land is occupied by Demacia and Noxus.
So even though Noxus and Demacia have to deal with the problem of the northern barbarians all day long , will they really fight each other head-on with swords and spears?
Whether it's Demacia or Noxus, even when they are weak, they can pin the Freljordians to the ground and beat their brains out.
In terms of logistics, food transportation, defensive capabilities, offensive capabilities, and troop replenishment capabilities, Freljord is lagging behind in all aspects.
To put it simply, Freljord has no food, no population, no territory, and no technology tree.
"It's not like Piltover hasn't thought about doing business with the Freljordians before, but unfortunately, usually, the last lord we negotiated with might have his head chopped off the next time we go there, or he might not be willing to deliver the goods or pay the bill."
Ms. Cassandra sat in front of Li Ke. In front of them was a map of the entire Runeterra, as well as several maps that depicted each country in detail.
And now, the map of Freljord is placed on top of the map of Runeterra, and next to it is the map of Ionia.
"So we can only wait for their tribal chiefs to come with goods themselves. It is very difficult to increase investment. So I think we should increase investment in mineral materials in Ionia and let Ionia's iron ore become the cornerstone of our industrial plan."
Cassandra placed the map of Ionia on the table, which detailed the distribution locations and approximate quantities of various mineral materials in Ionia.
These are what Piltover has been exploring over the years.
Of course, the most detailed one is Shurima, which is connected to them, where almost all the minerals are marked.
Honestly, to say they had bad intentions is the most realistic description.
"You said it well, but it is impossible for Ionia to do this. On the contrary, they still need us to support a large amount of iron and steel."
Li Ke shook his head.
He knew the situation in Ionia very well. Before the large farm plan was completed, Ionia could not carry out any large-scale development.
That would only lead to the complete destruction of the Illuminati, which is still developing.
Eat your food bite by bite and walk your road step by step.
Shen and Jie already have a lot of work to do, and their tasks cannot be increased. Unless there is a way to harvest crops three times a day in this world, it is impossible.
But how could there be such an outrageous thing in this world? Hahahaha…
“I think I really do…”
Li Ke's laughter stopped abruptly.
"What do you have?"
Cassandra looked at Li Ke with some curiosity.
"I mean, it seems like I actually have something that can solve all of this."
Li Ke tapped his hands, thinking about a world he had experienced before but had not cared much about at the time.
QQ Farm!
If he remembered correctly, the food in that world was basically harvested several times a day, and the land requirements were not very high. However, he urgently needed combat power rather than productivity at that time, so he put it on hold for the time being.
Now I'm almost forgetting it.
"What?"
Cassandra looked at Li Ke with some curiosity. Li Ke was different from her husband. She always brought her new and interesting things.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a crop that can be harvested in one day."
Li Ke tried to be as conservative as possible. If he remembered correctly, it took about 14 hours for the wheat there to mature from sowing to maturity, which means that it basically matured once a day. After all, people need rest.
But Cassandra on the side was stunned.
“Are you serious?”
She tilted her head and looked at Li Ke. She originally thought that she would never be surprised by anything Li Ke said in her life, but when she heard Li Ke say that he had a crop that matured in a day, she couldn't help but ask.
She really felt that Li Ke was dreaming.
But then she covered her head and shook it.
"No...if it's you, then it's possible. After all, it's you."
Don't make me sound weird!
Li Ke really wanted to complain about this, but unfortunately he himself found it outrageous.
Because he thought about it carefully, in that world, even if there were no fertilizers or anything like that, the land there would still grow crops one after another. Using fertilizers would just make the growth faster, and not using them would not reduce the yield.
"If you think about it carefully, the land there is the most bizarre, right?"
Li Ke couldn't help but think about it.
"Well, it's possible that there is, but I still need to study it, so let's put this matter aside for now. But no matter what, we have to trade with the Freljord, so just give the order."
Li Ke finally decided to experiment first, so he told Cassandra that she could go do something.
"You are really heartless."
Cassandra shook her head helplessly, then stood up and prepared for the next thing.
The previous orders from Ionia made them a lot of money. Although part of the payment was made with food, they are now eager to trade with food.
After all, Demacia and Noxus are now buying food crazily.
"If it's true."
Cassandra walked to the side and looked back at Li Ke who was lost in thought.
"Maybe... he will really become the emperor."
Her intuition told her that Li Ke could really come up with this kind of food.
When Li Ke confirmed that the other party had left, he quietly opened his simulator, clicked the QQ Farm option, and started the simulation.
