Fel doesn't lie to you

In the face of the strength, population, and food production capacity of the gnomes, what they can do is too limited.

Without a vast territory and population, even a dwarf has no way to expand his influence in this world.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for them to hold on to their own scientific and technological capabilities as if they were holding on to life-saving straws. They must do this in order to survive in a world full of dangers.

Li Ke understands this, he has analyzed it before.

But he couldn't tolerate being treated as a winner.

"You may have misunderstood us. In fact, this contract is exactly the contract we drew up after contacting the human lords, and it is a clause that most alliance members agree to."

Miss Kelsey looked at Li Ke seriously.

"So, there is no such thing as what you said, that we dwarves deliberately traded with you on harsh terms!"

"Oh? What these human lords asked for? Did you do it on purpose? Or, do you think I can't see through your next words?"

Li Ke dismissed the dwarf's sophistry.

He probably knew what the dwarf was going to say.

Because in fact, this plan is a real convenience for those lords, because their productivity, system, and knowledge simply cannot understand the importance of independent technology trees like Li Ke.

They don't want to hire more advanced machines, because labor is worthless to them, and they don't want to make the people in the territory too rich, because for them, this will only increase their ruling cost.

They also don't want their subjects to eat, drink, and wear warmth. They just want their subjects to remain half-dead.

After all, only the people in this situation can be ruled better.

Therefore, they hired some high-quality and cheap dwarves to prevent the unscrupulous people in their own territory from being able to learn these techniques.

Naturally, they need a third party that can provide less backward technology, but can be completely isolated from their own people, and let them give themselves a reasonable and legal reason to increase taxes by the way.

Raising taxes for the purpose of building a territory couldn't be more legitimate.

It’s just that, as Kelsey said, she followed the human race completely, and those who believe in such words generally have problems with their brains.

Those lords can't think of it, and the dwarf will never think of it.Although this race seems to be quite happy, in fact, there are basically no mistakes in political decisions. Basically, they are all correct platoons and choices. This is a standard art.

"........."

Kelsey didn't know how to tell Li Ke. In fact, Li Ke was right.

The dwarves were indeed forced to monopolize these technologies at the beginning, but after they reacted, they immediately discovered how convenient and beneficial this thing was for their dwarfs.

And once the established facts and rules are formed, there is no doubt that they can do a lot of things.

However, things have been going smoothly for a long time, but today I suddenly met a guy who doesn't talk about martial arts, and Kelsey felt a little confused.

She is very concerned that human beings have changed beyond her imagination.

So she asked.

"Are you planning to update the machine once a year? Otherwise, you don't need it at all. We have mature gnome technology engineers, and you can hire them to do anything. Moreover, we don't really need these grains. You know, Lordaeron's past is a down-to-earth good guy."

She is still trying to save their order, because the current dwarf really needs benefits.

They even told Li Ke that they don't need Li Ke's food very much, after all, the alliance's assistance is still very generous.

But Li Ke couldn't hear it the most.

"Since this is the case, it seems that we each need to prepare again before we can continue talking."

Li Ke has already decided to look for goblins. He originally thought that after losing their homes, the dwarves would urgently need to recover their strength for various reasons, but now it seems that although their situation is indeed very difficult, it has not yet made them abandon themselves. The point of principle.

Perhaps when the undead natural disasters appear and food prices skyrocket, these dwarfs will be able to understand how important a stable buyer is.

"Well, I guess so."

Although Kelsey regretted it, Li Ke still gave her the previous order for chemical raw materials, and she didn't prohibit their caravan from buying grain in his territory, so she didn't intend to completely fall out with Li Ke.

However, when watching the dwarf jump off the chair and walk towards the gate, Li Ke opened his mouth on purpose.

"Grayson, go help me spread the news, and say that I am willing to spend a lot of money to hire goblin chemical experts and chemical equipment, but the prerequisite is to teach my workers. Oh, I remember I know a goblin, his name is Luo Here comes Tom Sanchee... No, let's find the Bilgewater Plutocrats, I like their new leader Gallywix, oh, Rive Gaz from Stranglethorn, Gazlowe from Venture Capital , can be our friend.”

Just as Li Ke finished speaking, the half-opened door closed instantly, and under Li Ke's gaze, Kelsey angrily returned to her seat with a vicious and cute expression.

Then she hugged her small chest and looked at Li Ke with a rather displeased expression.

"Conditions can be negotiated!"

They gnomes can earn less!

But it must not benefit the goblins!
--------

In the end, this bilateral cooperation was reached.

Li Ke still wanted to support these dwarves in establishing canning factories and other departments in his territory, but these cans were not allowed to be sold to any race other than dwarves.

The purchased chemical equipment still needs to be repaired and maintained by dwarf engineers, but they must ensure that one engineer must teach five people how to repair and maintain, as well as the working principle and design concept of this machine.

Moreover, a team of 200 people will be sent to Li Ke to set up a training class. Whatever Li Ke buys, they will explain the principles and manufacturing methods of these machines to Li Ke's engineers and workers.

The special sale of food will also be carried out, but it will be delivered by the dwarf's team, and the contract will be signed once a year.

The only thing that made Li Ke heartbroken in this new contract was that after he drew up this contract, the prices of all machines doubled.

That's a lot of money.

But Li Ke was in pain and happy.

It's all the Black Dragon Prince's money anyway... and the sorceress finally came to him with the money.
