LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Amidst Lacus' eyes filled with sincere anticipation, Tryndamere read this article with suspicion.

The article is also not complicated.

After all, the leader has never conducted a detailed social survey on the Freljord before. The backward social form and harsh natural environment of the Ice Field have also made it impossible for any political entity here to statistically investigate the Freljord. German social profile data.

How many people are there?How many tribes?How much area?How many resources can be developed?None of this is known.

Therefore, Li Wei can only roughly analyze a few sentences in the form of ramblings based on everyone's general understanding of the Freljord.

So the level of this article is not high, it looks like listening to the middle-aged boss bragging about Jiangshan in a snack bar in Zaan.

But the good thing is that it's simple enough.

Even a "barbarian" like Tryndamere, who is new to modernization, can understand it.

"Why can't the Freljord ever be united for long?" to Tryndamere, a subtitle that was the opening lightning strike.

Ashe's ideal, the goal of the Avarosa Alliance, is to unify the entire ice field and bring peace to this chaotic land.

But these leaders told him as soon as they came up that this could not be done.

Ice sheets will not be unified.Even if unified, it will soon fall into division.

"Why?" Tryndamere bristled.

He cannot accept this argument.

Because the Freljord has never been united in history.Perhaps the Icelanders had a short-lived unity during the reign of the three sisters in ancient times, but the history of that period had already been deliberately covered up by Lissandra, and was almost forgotten by later generations.

Therefore, unification is actually a never-before-seen attempt for the Iceborne people.

Ashe believes that this attempt will definitely bring a bright future to the Iceborne people.

Tryndamere also genuinely recognized his wife's ideals.

But now, they haven't tried it yet, and a group of people in the greenhouse thousands of miles away say that they can't do it!Why?
"Because productivity determines the relationship of production." The article first gave him an incomprehensible sentence.

Then there is the plain language that Tryndamere can understand: "Because the land of the Freljord is too barren."

"The barren land has led to the fact that most icelanders can only engage in primitive production activities such as hunting, gathering, and nomadism, unlike the temperate and tropical farming peoples who can settle around the land on a large scale."

"Everyone can think about the question-how large a hunting ground is needed to feed a 1000-person hunting tribe?"

Li Wei doesn't have detailed information, and it's not easy to talk nonsense in the article.

But Tryndamere was native.

He knew at a glance that these Zaan people really didn't understand anything.

Li Wei believes that to support a hunting tribe with a scale of 1000 people, it may require a huge land several times the size of Zaun and Piltover.

If a county is set up on the ice sheet according to the population size, the area of ​​this county may be larger than the entire Kingdom of Demacia.

But Levi was wrong.

The real situation was a hundred times more serious than what he had guessed.

Levi is still talking about "hunting grounds", but the Freljords don't actually have the fixed hunting grounds these southerners imagined.

Because not only people have a difficult life on the snowfield, but animals also have a difficult life.

If you plundered a piece of land the size of Zaan City, you might be able to get hundreds of snow rabbits.

The Icelanders mainly hunt large animals, such as Ernuk bulls, Juvask wild boars, and giant mammoths. Their big appetites cannot be carried by any piece of land for a long time.

Therefore, the herds of beasts on the ice field are always chasing aquatic plants and constantly migrating.

Therefore, the tribe of the Icelanders must always chase the herds and move constantly.

Only the Avarosa Alliance, which occupies the "fertile" land in the south, can grow some cold-resistant plants such as snow barley and potatoes in summer, and use these precious grains to make up for the lack of prey, and settle outside a roughly fixed area
Most of the other ice plain tribes have nothing to do with the word "settlement".

How far is their daily migration distance?

This can refer to Sejuani's Winter's Claw.

In the original world line, Winter's Claw not only robbed Noxus in the east, but also fought against Darius; it also plundered Demacia in the west, and followed Silas, the leading party, to invade Xiongdu.

In terms of distance, this is almost equivalent to grabbing all the way from North China to Western Europe.

And Winter's Claw is so good at fighting, there are still people starving to death in Sejuani's tribe.

"The annual output of a fixed piece of land is simply not enough for the survival needs of a large tribe."

"This has resulted in the Freljord being unable to settle in one place, and can only roughly live in a very large hunting ground."

"." Tryndamere gradually understood something.

A piece of land can't support too many people, so it is doomed that the Ice Plains people cannot settle in one place on a large scale.

rather than large-scale settlements
"Unless a mature administrative system can be established and a centralized power structure can't be established, it can only form a nominally unified alliance formed by countless tribes, but cannot form a substantive unity."

"This kind of rule is destined to be loose and short-lived."

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The Iceborne Tribes migrated around at every turn.Not to mention implementing effective rule, it is very difficult for Wang Ting to contact them at ordinary times.

If you can bring benefits to everyone, then everyone will give you face and call you big brother from afar.

If there is anything that needs to be used by the brothers, the brothers can come all the way to help out.

But if you can't bring benefits to Laozi, then don't blame brother for being rude.

Anyway, this ice sheet is so big.I ran and ran, can you still catch up with me?

"This..." Tryndamere broke into a cold sweat the more he looked at it.

He knew that the actual situation on the ice field was like this.

But the former Avarrosa League has been growing and thriving.Everyone has benefited from Ashe's protection, so they are more loyal than each other.

So unknowingly, Tryndamere ignored the hidden dangers.

He believed that as long as Avarosa continued to develop, the Iceborne people would only become more and more united.

But now.
"Let him be right!" Tryndamere put down the chicken bone in his left hand, and swallowed the meat in his mouth.

Demacia only slightly opened the country's door, and the unbreakable Avarosa Alliance was in danger of collapse and disintegration immediately.

With delicious alchemy roast chicken to eat, who would follow Aixi to drink the northwest wind on the snowy field?
Unity?

The Iceborne were never united!
The unity and solidarity that Ashe pursues can only be this kind of superficial unity and solidarity.

Since this unity and solidarity are only superficial, how can Ashe guarantee that the unified Freljord will be able to get rid of this long-term chaos?
Can she control those tribes from all over the world so that they don't plunder and kill each other like they do now?
impossible.

"No" Tryndamere became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

But he still tried his best to warn himself not to be shaken: "Ashe's ideal is by no means a joke. Even superficial unity is better than no unity. With Avarosa leading, the ice field will always become better, Isn't it?"

Tryndamere thought so.

He read in the article: "Freljord, which has completed the unification, will soon usher in a greater chaos."

"Because as the leader of this huge tribal alliance, the future Icefield King must answer a question—how should he feed his subjects?"

The tribes of the ice plains killed each other crazily like wild beasts. In the final analysis, it was because the land was barren and there was not enough food.

And even if Ashe unifies the Freljord, the land will not become warm and fertile out of thin air, and food will not become abundant out of thin air.

In the past, the Icelanders optimized the "surplus population" by killing each other continuously.

And now, Ashe is neither willing to let her compatriots kill each other, but also has no way to feed them, so what should she do?
"There is only one way, go south to plunder!"

"Once a unified regime emerges on the ice sheet, the flames of war between the Freljord and the southern countries will inevitably be ignited."

"And the scale of this war will be unprecedentedly strong, and the battle will be unprecedentedly tragic. Because this will be a war between millions of organized Icelanders and tens of millions of Valorans."

The Iceborne people are not afraid of war.

If Ashe said that she would lead everyone into the customs, they would only follow excitedly.

But the problem is
"Can they win?" Tryndamere's heart sank.

The south of the Freljord is not some weak and bully Nanming from another world.

There are only the mighty Noxus Empire, the impregnable Demacia Kingdom, and the various vassal states and allies that follow the two.

Still in the customs?Can you beat it?
Unless the Freljord can summon a god like Volibear, they will be killed and defeated if they dare to invade the southern lands.

"The so-called king of the ice field is actually the leader of a large robbery gang. This is not derogation, but a helpless fact."

"Only a leader who can lead everyone to grab the spoils is a good leader. And once you can't grab resources from the outside world to fill everyone's stomachs, the result can only be betrayal."

Tryndamere broke out in a cold sweat the more he watched.

He seemed to have seen that day, and saw Ashe unify the ice field through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but in the end he was forced to go to the battlefield helplessly, stepping into a war with no chance of winning.

After paying countless blood and sacrifices, she can only watch her ideals shattered and witness countless betrayals and spurns.

Even if Ashe can defeat the southern countries, the outcome cannot be changed.

Because the business of robbery is very risky and the income is not stable.This time I succeeded, what about next time?
Once the southern countries can withstand the invasion for a long time, the ice sheet regime will inevitably fall into civil strife.

So there are only two possibilities for an ice sheet regime:
One, unite to rob, and if the robbery fails, there will be civil strife.Then loop infinitely.

Second, destroy the southern countries in one fell swoop, enter the customs and establish a political power, completely get rid of the ice sheet, and get rid of the identity of the ice sheet people.

Considering the strength of Germany and Noxus, as well as the rise of leaders, the latter will almost never be possible.

Therefore, the Freljord will never be able to unify for a long time.

"." Tryndamere's hand was trembling slightly.Seeing this, he almost twisted the booklet into shape.

He had never considered the things mentioned in the article before.

But now, after a little deduction along the lines of this article, he discovered that it turned out that Ashe's ideal was impossible to realize from the very beginning.

She's just heading for an inevitable, great and tragic failure.

"Is there really no way?" He asked himself.

Do not!
Tryndamere immediately thought of a way to break the situation.

"Industrialization! Industrialization can save the ice sheets!" he thought.

At this time, Tryndamere already knew that technology could increase steel production and grain income.

Now that the ice sheet is unified, the biggest problem is food.

Then as long as they learn from Miyin City to industrialize and use technology to increase land production and income, wouldn't they be able to support themselves and not have to go south to plunder?
Just as Tryndamere was thinking this, he saw the second part of the article: "Why is it difficult for the Freljord to achieve industrialization through its own strength?"

"." Tryndamere was not in a hurry to stack his anger bar this time.

He held back his temper and watched patiently.

I saw the article said: "For that reason, Freljord is too poor."

"Any industrialization cannot avoid the primitive accumulation of seed benzene, so how to complete the primitive accumulation of seed benzene."

"There are only three ways to do this:"

"One, such as Noxus and the early Twin Cities, relied on foreign colonial plunder to complete the primitive accumulation of industrialization."

To put it bluntly, it is robbery.But as discussed above, the Freljord does not have that strength.

"Second, such as the vassal regions of Noxus, relying on the transfer of part of the country's sovereignty and relying on foreign capital from the suzerain country to complete the primitive accumulation of industrialization."

This Tryndamere didn't want to accept either.

Ashe is the queen of the Freljord, not a southern dog.

"Third, extract surplus from agriculture, service industry or resource environment."

To put it simply, it is to do everything possible to get money from one's own people and save money to develop industries.

Can the Freljord go this way?

"No." Tryndamere was looking forward to it, and the article gave a cold conclusion.

Agriculture, service industry, and natural resources, these three ways of making money, Freljord can't do it.

First up is agriculture:
Doing agriculture in that frigid place, and still wanting to extract surplus from agriculture to support industry?

joke.Only a part of the southern part of the Freljord has the conditions to carry out cold zone agriculture, and the food they grow is not even enough for their own people to eat, and they have to rely on grazing and hunting to supplement food sources.

The Icelanders don't even have surplus food, so where can you extract the agricultural surplus?

Even if someone acts as a great benefactor and supports agricultural machinery and chemical fertilizers for free, and helps them feed back agriculture with industry for free, this problem may not be solved.

Because the effect of science and technology on increasing grain income also has a limit.

It wasn't that Li Wei could grow corn in the frigid Freljord by slapping his forehead and pumping up agricultural machinery and fertilizers.

Leaders are organized in a very efficient form, but they are also prone to this kind of mistake.

Fortunately, Janna's faith measurement guarantees purity, grassroots cadres dare to give feedback when they find problems, and guarantees that there will be no such thing as deception and false reporting of output for the sake of political achievements, so that good governance becomes evil. Instead, it hurts money and labor.
"Agriculture doesn't work, and services are next."

This is even more unreliable.The service industry has to rely on strong primary and secondary industries to form a scale.

Expecting to develop the service industry first, and then let the service industry, which is like a castle in the sky, feed the industry in turn, the effect can only be a drop in the bucket.

After all, just think about it:

This is a world of ice and snow, and the road is so long and dangerous. Who would go to this vast ice field to create service industry consumption?

Without even a tourist, Ashe can't organize a group of tribal strong men to sell themselves in bars in Noxus to make money, right?

Even if she can really earn money, how can she ensure that everyone can obediently send the money back to their hometown instead of immigrating away?

"Agriculture and service industries won't work, so what about selling natural resources?"

"Is it okay to sell resources such as forest trees, ores, and animal skins?"

This is ok at first glance.

The Freljord has no shortage of forests and no shortage of minerals.Otherwise, a developed hand-forging industry would not have been born here.

These resources are all valuable and needed by the outside world.

"But what about the cost of transportation?" Tryndamere had just seen a little hope, and then received another slap in the face.

Logistics costs are also costs.Just having resources is not enough, you have to be able to save time and effort to transport them out.

However, the topographical conditions of the Freljord Icefield are so harsh that it is hopeless.

If you open the perspective of God, you will find that this ice sheet spanning thousands of miles is actually a huge basin.

There is a large ice sheet in the middle, with mountains to the north, mountains to the south, mountains to the east, and mountains to the west.

It was as if Prince Jiawen made a big move and sat down on this piece of land, allowing the continuous uplifted mountains to surround the entire continent.

The Icemen mainly live in the huge basin between these mountains.

Only Ningshuang Port in the west, a small coastal area, has convenient transportation and can engage in sideline businesses such as piracy.

"It is very difficult for caravans to walk on the permafrost."

"In addition to the barriers of the vast mountains. No matter how good the Freljord's bulk cargo is, how can it be shipped out?"

The distance from Xiongdu of Demacia to Ashe's capital city Lax Stark takes dozens of hours by train.

What's more, there are no trains yet.Only hopeless mountains and ice fields.

"This..." Tryndamere was speechless.

Yes.

Their Avarosa Alliance often does business with the Demacians, and he knows how difficult this business route is.

Caravans carrying heavy cargo often have to travel through the ice sheet for ten months before reaching the mountains on the border.

Crossing the mountains is also not an easy task. Throughout the ages, how many merchants and pack horses have died on the cliffs of the snow-capped mountains.

And the extremely bad traffic conditions doomed that what Avarosa sold to the Germans could not be bulk commodities such as forests and ores, but only portable gadgets such as animal skins, gems, and iron products. Son.

“Agriculture doesn’t work, services don’t work, even selling natural resources is blocked.”

"This is doomed, the Freljord cannot complete industrialization through its own strength."

"It must rely on external forces before it can enter modern civilization."

There are three methods of primitive accumulation, one is to plunder others, the other is to squeeze oneself, and the third is to find a good father while squeezing oneself.

Both of the first two have been demonstrated to be impossible.

In that case
Thinking of this, Tryndamere was completely desperate.

He found that he couldn't find a way to realize Ashe's ideal without betraying Ashe.

"So." Tryndamere looked at Lux with mixed emotions: "Is this so-called leader the new master you recommend for the Freljord?"

"Uh..." Lacus had a strange expression: "Your words are a bit harsh, but... the principle is similar."

Tryndamere was silent.

Should I choose Ashe, or the good life in the Freljord?
"No! The Freljord will never be slaves!" Tryndamere chose the former in anger.

Because: "I don't believe in a free lunch."

Well, except for the immigrant cafeteria that he ate up.

"Those Zaun people will not help us in vain, they will only try their best to squeeze more benefits from us!"

"Well said!" He thought Lux would be angry when he said that, but Lux was actually very happy.

"Your suspicion is correct." Lux made an encouraging affirmation.

"But" she smiled confidently again: "We are different from others, we will only help you sincerely."

"Why?" Tryndamere still couldn't believe that someone would come all the way to help a group of strangers.

"Based on this." Lux spread out her hands, showing a bright line.

"What is this?" Tryndamere asked.

"Faith." Lux's blue pupils seemed to be burning with ideal flames.

A similar light, Tryndamere had only been seen in Ashe's eyes.

But he was still confused.

And Lux ​​just told him: "Go on, Tryndamere—"

"You will understand all this."
