Chapter 65: Piltover Familiar with the Road
Zuan is fighting, Pi Cheng is watching.
For Piltover, the importance of Zaun goes without saying—although Piltover did not choose to tear his face under the oppression of Naga Kapolos, there was no doubt that they supported Zaun in the fight.
Just kidding, what if Zaun became part of Noxus, Piltover?
Wouldn't it be oppressive to the inside without Zu'an exploiting Picheng - that would be too uncivilized!
For this reason, Piltover provided a large amount of material support at one time.
But once Zaun won, the focus of the matter changed.
Will Zaun try to break free from Piltover's control with the power of a big victory?
Quite possibly.
Piltover needs Zaun, but not a powerful Zaun!
When he learned that Zuan had won, Piltover immediately came up with a countermeasure - we must continue to clamp down on Zuan and not let Zuan develop wantonly!
What about the god of Zuan, Jana?
This is a headache for the Noxians, but the people of Picheng don't care.
Have you forgotten the last time Cana declined because of something?
The soft knife is countless times better for Zuan than hard to touch!
The Noxians couldn't figure out the details of Cana, but the people of Picheng knew very well the priesthood of this god - to protect Zuan!
We, Piltover, are here with friendship!
Our purpose is to help you rebuild Zuan!
Of course, no one's resources are blown by the wind, and we need a little "small" payment, not too much, right?
So, Piltover prepared a list for Zaun.
There are a lot of them.
But the core idea is one - you are my colony.
I give you the food and materials you need to rebuild, and you continue to be my sewer.
If this treaty is signed, Zaun would have to pay Piltover a certain amount of rough Hex Crystal each year (produced by the Alchemy Factory, which would cause serious pollution to produce); Responsible for the disposal of garbage in Piltover (also a heavily polluting industry); Dispatch work for the docks in Piltover at a very low salary (low salary, insecurity, basically similar to contract labor); Continue to fulfill the Zaun-Picheng Military Integration Treaty (I give up you can, you must defend me......
What does Zaun get?
a large number of loans (it is a pity that the docks are under the control of Piltover, and the loans themselves cannot be spent, which can only make Zaum's economy heavily dependent on Piltover); A large amount of grain (if there is mold, corruption, etc., please Zu'an to solve it by himself); industrial raw materials (materials with a high hextech content are not on the list and need to be purchased separately); Piltover's "protection" (who believes in this article, given Piltover's actions not so long ago); Zaun's talent can come to Piltover for further study (and then he is a Picheng guy, Zaun will never want to develop)......
Rhodes counted, a full twenty-two unequal treaties.
This paper list made Rod angry, and even reminded him of some bad things.
Do you think I'm a pig's tail?
What does it mean to be for Zuan?
This is to put the heaviest shackles on Zuan, and then suck Zaun's blood wantonly!
If this treaty is signed, even without the alchemy baron, Zuan will still be the chaotic Zuan with no tomorrow!
In front of the envoy, Rhodes slowly tore the treaty apart little by little, and then ignited it into a fireball and threw it in the messenger's face.
"Zaun does not accept such insults."
"You've figured it out." The messenger activated an unknown device, isolated the fire with a transparent protective shield, and the fake smile on his face did not diminish at all, "Such a big Zu'an, the consumption of food is not small, right?" Without Piltover's support, there would have been many starving people......"
Hearing this, the blue bird on Rod's shoulder looked a little anxious and gently pecked Rod's earlobe.
Reaching out to soothe a nervous Jana, Rod shook his head unconcernedly.
"I'm afraid you don't know - the alchemy barons of Zaun have all fled, and they have left behind a lot of good things that will be enough for us to survive the toughest of times."
Rhodes wasn't talking big.
The alchemy barons who kept the thugs had stockpiled a lot of food on their estates, and although some of them had been affected, there were still a lot of them that should be edible—they had never had a chance to get them before, and now they could be collected for a while.
"And then." The messenger was unimpressed, "You want to turn Zuan into an agricultural city?" ”
Looking at the expressionless Rod, the messenger stepped forward and smiled.
"If you do that, maybe it's really possible, but anyway, most of Zu'an has been razed, and your clumsy steam robots have turned the ground into farmland - it's not impossible."
"Oh, by the way, in that case, Piltover is willing to provide you with some bio-fertilizer - don't worry, this is free."
These words are the irony of Hongguoguo.
The location of the twin cities of Picheng-Zuan is a major transportation artery, and the development of Hextech and commercial trade is quite advantageous, but it is obviously nonsense to want to engage in plantation.
In a place like Zu'an, where the soil may be poisonous, not to mention the crops that grow, no one dares to eat them, even the chrysanthemums that grow may be black......
And because Zaun is located in a natural canyon, the altitude is below sea level, so the dock is under the control of Piltover, and if you want to trade, Zaun can't bypass Piltover - that's why Piltover always thinks that he has eaten Zaun, after all, they fundamentally control the trade channels.
It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Piltworth is emboldened.
Looking at Rod's frowning brow, the messenger seemed to have some kind of indescribable superiority.
Oracle...... What is God's work done?
"Khadgar Oracle, right? I'd suggest you'd better visit Piltover when you have time – unlike pickled Zaun, the air is sweet there. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Apologize? No need, no use, I ......"
Rumble!
Apologize?
Hehe, that's my mantra!
————————
The topography of Zaun and Piltover is exceptional.
Piltover is a relatively normal seaside city, while Zaun is located in a natural canyon next to Piltover, which is naturally divided into many parts, most of which are below sea level, and some are above sea level.
During the construction of the canal connecting the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest, an accident occurred with explosives, which blew up a piece of the mountain that separated Zaun from the sea, causing one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Zaun to be directly submerged.
Zaun's "wharf" was the bumpered gap, a rudimentary wharf, and the piltover canal had to be reached – so there weren't many people here.
This chapter is for the second helm of the book.
