"But let's not talk about this for now. Cerna, is the snow going to get heavier again?"
Li Ke rested for a while before standing up, reaching out to catch a snowflake that was slowly drifting down and crushing it in his hand.
"It should be … But that might not be the case. The recent changes in the weather are very strange. It's different from the past. The priests said that it's because there was a battle between the gods. "
Cerna looked at the drifting snowflakes in the sky, and the green wheat field that was already full of wheat, a worried expression on her face. After all, this snow did not come at the right time. Li Ke's research on this place had just begun, and now it was interrupted by this extreme weather. He could only continue his research in the warm house. Even someone like her who did not know much about magic knew that this was not good news for Li Ke.
"Gods … It's a pity that the ice itself is cold enough to freeze anything, it can't retain its temperature at all … And it's also quite precious. Otherwise, it would be much better to use it as a greenhouse than to use it as a weapon."
Li Ke did not know how ice was made, but he still felt that it was a pity that ice was so precious. After all, if he could make ice, and if he knew how to make ice, and if ice did not have such a frightening cold, then many problems would not be a problem.
He plucked out a wheat, and looked at the falling snowflakes. He decided to start the next phase of the experiment, and get more food for Aichy's tribe. Then, when the roads were better in spring, when the Demacians and Pisheng people's wariness towards Freldrod was lowered, then he would start the trade. He would get some plastic sheets or something like that. After all, this was the capital of technology, it was impossible that they did not have plastic technology. Even if there was no plastic in Li Ke's memory, there should be something similar.
And if it really did not work, it would be the same if he used money. Perhaps money was not as useful as food in Freldrod, but that was not the case outside.
When the time came, he could get some greenhouses, buy some fertilizer and pesticides, and basically start the construction of infrastructure …
"It's money …"
Li Ke had a headache again. Although Aichy's tribe was rich and advocated trade and circulation, the accumulation of wealth was not as fast as Sejuani's tribe which relied on plundering to strengthen themselves. In Sejuani's tribe, a bag of gold coins was very easy to obtain and was not as important as food. But in Aichy's tribe, a bag of gold coins was much more important than food.
Li Ke knew the nature of capitalists. Even if the combined wealth of Eich and Sejuani's tribes combined wasn't enough to buy what he needed, he probably wouldn't be able to do so. Not to mention other things, just the equipment for the cement factory alone, Aichy would have to empty out the entire clan's wealth to complete it.
Then, he would have to rely on Li Ke's ability to eat rice without salt and meat.
"Ten thousand feet tall buildings rise from the ground, ten thousand feet tall buildings rise from the ground …"
Li Ke unconsciously crushed the wheat in his hand. After looking at him for a while, Cerna whispered to Li Ke.
"Do you want to use food to exchange for money?"
Cerna said what Li Ke was thinking. He did want to use food to exchange for money. But whether it was selling wine, using food to rope in other tribes, or using food to exchange for gold coins from tribes that were unwilling to join, a large amount of food was needed. It could be said that as long as there was a large amount of food, then there would be no problem in a short period of time.
"Yes, but it's a pity that my magic is not mature enough … As you can see, I have to touch the seed to inject life force. The number of times I can plant in a day is limited, and it's a bit difficult to meet the needs of the current plan."
This was an unsolvable problem. Although the herds sent by Aichy could be used to restore ordinary life force, there was a limit to manpower. He left the other chores to the people of the Winterspring Clan. In the absence of perfect tools, the four of them could only help him plant 20 mu of land in a day. Each mu of land could produce about 300 kilograms of food.
This seemed to be a lot, and there were hundreds of people who could help Li Ke with farming.
But it wasn't like that. Li Ke's farming method was very harmful to the soil, so after a harvest, he had to let these people flatten the land, replace the mud dug out when the road was repaired with the mud here, and burn the straw on the spot. Then, the ashes and the feces collected by Li Ke were mixed with water and mixed with the soil in the field. So they could only farm once a day at most. And as a price, even if the people here were naturally strong and resistant to labor, some of them would be injured and exhausted because of the cold and exercise.
After all, although Li Ke was a superman, the people under him weren't. Not to mention that these prisoners of war of the Winterspring Clan didn't have much salt when they ate.
Li Ke couldn't do anything about this because Aichy's clan was short of salt.
Not only that, they also had to send a portion of their manpower to repair the roads. Actually, the reason why no one died or became crippled was because they had enough food to eat. Li Ke would also replenish the life force of the elderly and the weak. He also sent all the children who weren't even 16 years old to Eich's schools. If they followed the rules here, not only would they not have enough to eat, but they also had to find a way to provide food to Aichy's clan.
"This … Maybe you can try using a staff?"
Cerna expressed her opinion with some uncertainty. After all, Li Ke had once shown the miracle of making a large plain full of flowers and turning them into wheat. She often saw the warriors holding the wheat straw left behind and praying to Li Ke in private so that they and their children could eat and be surrounded by flowers and warmth every day. So she didn't think that the staff that the priests and magicians used to amplify their magic and amplify the power of their magic would have any effect on Li Ke.
After all, the two of them were existences in two different dimensions. She only mentioned it to let Li Ke have something to kill time and not be so distressed.
"Staff?"
Li Ke froze for a moment. He instantly thought of the blind priest. The staff in the priest's hand was not so much a staff, but a spear or an armor-piercing hammer.
The body of the long staff was a kind of wood, but its two tips were wrapped in iron and had some sharp crystals. So Li Ke really recognized it as a spear. If the priest didn't use that thing to cast a spell, he probably wouldn't have recognized it as a staff. After all, although the tip of Noxus's staff was also an armor-piercing hammer, it was a typical staff of the ACG. It was completely different from the one he saw that day.
