Li Ke used some money to buy various records of the hospital. Then, he used the same method to go to all the public places he could to gather information.
After busying himself for half a month, Li Ke came to a conclusion after looking through the information he obtained.
The city was hopeless.
If the city was filled with resentment, then he could preach to the people and let them complete their own changes. However, the problem was that no matter if it was the port's data, the turnover of the small shops, or the consumption of the lower class citizens, there was no hotbed for change. The data told Li Ke that even though these people were being exploited and couldn't even protect their own health, they were able to eat their fill and wear their clothes. They even had some self-pursuit.
The most ridiculous thing was that there really was a free public school! There was a ready-made ladder for advancement.
From school uniforms to books, to tuition and miscellaneous fees, everything was free. Those children who didn't go to school were either orphans or skipped classes because they were bored. But there was no doubt that compulsory education was universal in this godforsaken city! Moreover, the residents of different cities were provided with food and clothing! Those who lived in Pi City had even more preferential policies and various administrative guarantees.
Why was this so?
This was a very helpless reality, and that was that the external dividends were really big.
Noxus' civilian industrial standards were poor, and they didn't have any high quality military equipment. In terms of enjoyment, they were beaten up by Pirtewulf. Therefore, half of the wealth they plundered from all over the world was spent on Pirtewulf, and this wealth allowed Pirtewulf and Zu An to prosper. The prosperity and geographical location of these two cities allowed them to monopolize the foreign trade of Birtewulf and Ionia. Even a portion of the Freldrod would do business with them. Most of Noxus' income in Shurima was sent to Pirtewulf, but Pirtewulf also had its own influence and interests in Shurima. It could be said that Noxus profited from the war, but the one who truly profited was Pi City.
That was because Pi City didn't use up its own national strength, nor did it use up the government's trust in the people at the bottom.
As Noxus continued to wage wars all over the world, more than half of the rich and capable people migrated to Piltwof. In this era where only the rich could learn to read and write, this was another invisible harvest of wealth.
The current Pirtwof and Zu An were like the Golden Age of the United States. There was no difference at all. Because of the war, the wealth of the whole world was constantly moving towards this city. Because of the war and the prosperity of this city, the high-level talents of each city also rushed over. As the transportation hub of the entire world, the merchants in this city didn't even need to go out. They could manage the wealth and resources from the world in their own hands. They harvested the entire world to fatten themselves, and as Noxus' war grew more and more prosperous, no matter if it was the Baron Alchemist of Zu An or the high and mighty ruler of Pi City, they naturally cherished their good reputation. In this era where money was easy to pick up, they made it easier for their factories to recruit workers.
Yes, picking up money. There was no better description than this. Right now, Pirtwof was picking up money that fell from the sky.
This was the information that Li Ke obtained from the post office, police, tax bureau, hospital and some loose lips through gold coins. This was also the reason why he temporarily gave up on the idea of starting a grassroots movement and using the bottom to overthrow the top. Because no one would believe it, just like how no one would believe that the invincible Noxus would be defeated in Ionia, or that he would piss his pants in fear. There was no way that Zu An's people would believe what Li Ke was trying to spread.
Let's put it this way, the difficulty of Li Ke's plan was no less than that of the United States of the United States of America at the beginning of the century. This was no longer a problem of Hell difficulty. It was an impossible task. A flame needed a warm bed, and even though Zu An had a warm bed, there was no oxygen and no wind.
That wasn't omnipotent.
"Actually, the best way is for me to take down this place alone and then give them what they deserve. Only then will they understand the value of their labor. Then, after five to six years, they will understand why I'm doing this. "
Li Ke shook his head and threw the things that he spent nearly half a ton of gold into the box.
"But what's the use of this? If others force things on them that they don't understand, they will only throw it away. "
Li Ke sighed and picked up his coffee. When the door was knocked, he raised his hand silently.
"Please come in, lady with a pair of scissors legs."
Li Ke put down the coffee and looked at the lady who had been following him for half a month after he left the hospital. She was the Bronze Shadow Camille in the game. He saw her walk over politely and even picked up a document that Li Ke accidentally threw on the ground.
"Ah, it's an investigation report on where our goods are sent the most. I believe you must have spent quite a bit of money to obtain this document."
Her tone was frivolous and carried a hint of joy.
"Of course, it's probably the price of buying a ship. But I have to say, the summary of this document is quite good."
Li Ke wasn't stingy with his praise. The report he was referring to was prepared by an old accountant. Every piece of data was cleverly distributed, making it impossible for others to see what was inside. At the same time, it also gave others the illusion that they had seen it clearly.
"Then did you find what you were looking for?"
Camille gracefully placed the document that leaked a lot of secrets in Pi City in front of Li Ke. She skillfully moved the teapot in Li Ke's room to a small device and elegantly brewed tea. Li Ke gulped down his coffee and casually sat on the stool. He watched the white-haired lady work in his room and answered her questions.
"I found it, but I have to say, it's really disappointing."
Camille smiled.
"Mister Tygule Maeve told me that you are a dangerous man. It's rare to hear such an evaluation from a gentle elder like him. You should know that he's been treating patients whom Zu An despised for more than a decade, and he's even willing to pay for it with his own salary. Yet, you're able to make him hostile towards you with just a single glance. Does this mean that you aren't fated to be in this city? "
She took out two cups and asked him to leave.
