Chapter 66: Rhodes the Columnist
A flame explosion killed the high-spirited Picheng guy in front of him, and Rod felt in a good mood.
Grinding and chirping, thinking that you are very powerful?
Is it justified to exploit others?
Do you really think that if you are born in Picheng, you will be able to wait for Zu'an?
Sorry, everyone is equal in front of the flames!
This is the most disgusting bastard of all you pretentious bastards!
Unlike Rod's pleasure, Jana looked nervous, worried about what would happen to Zuan.
Jana was well aware of what hunger and food inadequacy meant.
"Do we really have a way?" Jarna stood on the ground (or hovering better) and looked at Rhodes with a wrecked eye, "Can you really get food?" ”
"Of course." Rod touched Jana's head, "Take it easy, my dear goddess, Picheng thinks he can control Zuan, this is just a fantasy, without Butcher Zhang, don't you eat hairy pigs?" ”
Although I don't know what Rod meant, Jana narrowed her eyes - Jana believes in Rod, and it's great to have someone to help you use your brain!
So the question is, what exactly can Rhodes do?
The answer is actually very simple - wouldn't it be nice to catch a guy who is capable and willing to contribute money and food to help Zuan rebuild?
Which power can do that?
A lot - Ionia, Demacia, Noxus, Freljord and even Bilgewater, Shadow Isle, you name it!
And Rod's choice is...... Noxus.
Looks weird, doesn't it?
You've just finished a battle, and now you're going to cooperate?
That's right!
Rhodes had two in his hand — oh no, three valuable chips!
After catching LeBlanc, Delevingne and Wayne, Rod already had a general idea.
These three people are undoubtedly valuable, but the way to cash out this value is to sell them to Noxus, in addition to selling them to Demacia.
Looks like selling to Demacia seems like a good option, right?
It's a pity that Rhodes is a mage.
Demacia's attitude towards mages is so unfriendly - in Rhodes's opinion, these Demacians are a bunch of ignorant, muscular bastards!
For personal reasons, Rhodes had a poor first impression of the Demacians.
And for the sake of Zuan, Rhodes would not have chosen Demacia - because the water in Demacia is very deep now.
Jiawen III is old, Jiawen IV has just returned to China - and brought back a Sivana of unknown origin (Rhodes knows that this is a half-dragon-blooded dragon-blooded warrior), this stage of alternating between the two emperors, any simple thing can be given a more complex meaning, and then delayed for inexplicable reasons.
But Rod can't afford to delay!
Even if it is not delayed, there is one most important reason - Demacia is far away, and there is still a land route!
You know, the alchemy baron's food can last a while, but it won't last long!
At most, in a month and a half, Zuan will run out of food!
What will the Zuan people eat at that time?
Do you rely on Rhodes to rub bread?
In contrast, Noxus is actually a better choice.
Don't look at the relationship between the two sides is very poor, but Rhodes never cares about this, Noxus is also a group of real pragmatists, and there is no barrier to communication between the two sides!
And the military junta in Noxus has always been known for being extremely efficient, and time is exactly what Rhodes needs!
Soon after, Rhodes convened the Provisional Executive Committee of Zaun and announced his decision.
It is said that it is a committee, but in fact, this is basically a word of Rod......
Ike's political sense of smell is zero, Jinx and Giggs are full of brains, Zack's identity is really special, Blitz does not participate in decision-making, and the remaining public representatives are still confused, unable to figure out the situation, and were persuaded by Rhodes in a few words.
"Anyway, if you're hungry, you're just hungry!"
Simple and crude!
The people of Zu'an have begun to think, but it is obvious that their current thinking has not kept up with Rhodes - at this stage, every sentence of Rhodes can be used as the guiding ideology for the development of Zou'an.
………………
In later Zaun history, this important meeting was known as the "Council of Ruins".
At the meeting, Khadgar, the divine envoy, proposed a plan for the reconstruction and development of Zaun.
Internally, the temporary planned rationing was carried out, and the reconstruction project was carried out in the first phase of the three-year period, in which the circulation of money was temporarily restricted, all foreign trade was publicized, and everything was centered on urban reconstruction, and the faith of Cana was vigorously promoted, and the protection of Zu'an was included in basic education.
Externally, Zaun began the process of diplomatic normalization, striving for equal dialogue with Piltover and abolishing all unequal treaties of the past; Maintain a good cooperative relationship with Demacia, and welcome Demacian people to invest in Zaun; set off a boom in the development of Shurima, and set up a city-state scientific expedition team to excavate Shurima's relics; restore peace with Noxus and promote trade cooperation; Resist the pirates' sale of stolen goods, and all the pirates who came to Zu'an were caught one by one, and all of them were hanged to receive a bounty (mosquito legs are also meat)......
The Ruins Conference provided a detailed guiding ideology for the re-emergence of Zu'an, condensed the strength of Zu'an, and laid a solid foundation for Zu'an's take-off.
Following the plan of the Council of Ruins, the city-state of Zaun was finally re-established in Valoran, a force to be reckoned with......
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Rhodes - he didn't need a general history of Cozuan anyway.
Now Rhodes is tasked with negotiating with the Noxians to get enough food and infrastructure from them.
Send a messenger?
No, that's too low.
A captive should be released a little better.
LeBlanc or Delevingne......
Rhodes thought about it for a long time, and then felt that he was probably stupid - let Tamara go!
The difference in Tamara's combat power made Rod almost forget about her existence, and after thinking about it for a long time, Rod reacted, wouldn't it be good to put Tamara back!
This will keep the other chips in your hand, which is perfect!
So, Rod made a rare trip to the basement of Violet Dream.
Wayne was still frozen - she wouldn't be in any danger anyway, so it would be better to keep it as such.
Draven was locked up in prison and talked a lot of nonsense all day, so Rod prepared a soundproof barrier for him - seeing Rod coming, the guy started calling again, probably because the hairspray was not enough.
By Draven's side, Tamara looked mentally weak, and although the food supply was abundant, she and Draven had been locked up for more than a month, and Tamara was now close to collapse.
As for LeBlanc......
In order to prevent her from escaping, Rhodes not only anointed her with holy silver potion, but also chained her whole body, and even brought eye patches, earplugs, and mouth balls.
Well, it looks a little spooky – but don't bother with the details.
————————
Rhodes was a pure man, a very pure kind, really, a mouthball or something, just to prevent LeBlanc from committing suicide and chanting and casting spells.
Well, Rod is a little sullen.
