Chapter 23 Nimrod's Request
One standard hour later, Nimrod returned and listened to Howard's distribution plan.
"My king, among all the factories to be distributed, the pharmaceutical industry of the Shimansky family is the largest."
"The industry of the Kurnikova family is the chemical industry, and it has also been involved in pharmaceuticals before. The average output per production year is about 52,000 copies."
"Considering the industry relevance and integration time, the Shimansky family industry should be handed over to the Kurnikova family."
"..."
Nimrod listened to the distribution plan and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, just follow your distribution plan, and you will send information to each family immediately."
"You are the real 'arbitrator', come back to see me after one standard hour."
"Arbitrator?"
Howard asked in confusion, isn't that the title of the manager of the Lower Nest Dome.
"I'll know later."
"As you command, my king."
After Howard left, he walked down the twelfth floor, came to the office of the prime minister of the palace, and turned on the communicator.
"Count Howard, I am carrying out the orders of my king. What does he want?"
"Count Yelena, congratulations, my king has decided to hand over Szymanski's pharmaceutical industry to you. You should send someone to take it over immediately."
Howard controlled his envy and said in a normal tone.
"Really?"
Yelena's excited voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Of course it's true."
Howard understood her surprise. Every noble knew that it was the limit for the workers of the Khantymansi Dome to take over the huge industry of the Boleslaw family.
But being able to overcome greed, a human weakness, is another matter. The previous king couldn't do it. His greed was endless.
"Praise my king! My king is wise!"
After that, Howard kept hearing the nobles of various families praising Nimrod.
[My king has won the hearts of the people and has established a firm foothold in Tezwok.
Of course, the most important thing is the power he possesses. ]
The deep blue eyes were full of yearning. Just as he was thinking about it, the ticking timer reminder sounded. He immediately tidied up his clothes and walked quickly towards the palace.
At the same time, in the "State of Disorder", Nimrod threw the gavel into the furnace.
The golden light bloomed, the furnace crackled, and the golden gelatinous potion slowly took shape.
He scooped up the "Arbitrator" potion and asked Howard to take the "Judge" path, not only because the potion materials on hand could only make this potion.
It was also because Howard's loyalty, although it met Nimrod's minimum requirements, was not as good as Bukayo and Rawlslev.
The "Judge" path is the adjacent path of the "Black Emperor" path!
Some paths can be converted relatively safely in the middle, and they all belong to the same source.
The "Country of Disorder" corresponds to the "Black Emperor" and the "Judge". He who possesses the source will exert a significant influence on the extraordinary people of the "Judge" path after opening the authority.
"Black Emperor" and "Judge" are both extraordinary people who can be controlled after being promoted to the Old Days.
After returning to the real world, Nimrod walked in front of Howard and spread his palm.
"Drink it!"
Howard looked at the golden gelatinous potion in the bottle in front of him, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
[Poison? Impossible! My king wants to kill me, just like pinching an ant to death.
Could it be? It is the gift that Rawlslev said. ]
Howard, knowing that he had no choice, immediately took the potion, gritted his teeth, and drank it.
After teaching Howard how to meditate and to restrain the overflowing power of the potion, Nimrod instructed.
"That's it. If you meditate often in the future and be a good 'arbitrator', you will be able to control the power I give you."
Howard then understood the meaning of the gift. Only a great existence like Om Messiah could give him power in this magical way.
He looked at Nimrod excitedly, "Yes, my Lord!"
"Vostonia's arbitration system is good, and it reconciles the balance between the nobles and the Mechanicus, but it is not perfect enough."
"My Lord, what do you mean?"
If Nimrod wanted to be a dictator, Howard had no doubt that he could do it.
"The current arbitration is a balance, and the real arbitration is the maintainer of order."
Seeing that Howard seemed to have realized something, Nimrod continued.
"The technology of Mars poured into Vostroya, and the world industrialized rapidly."
"But the people of the Lower Nest, or even the Lower Nest, will never see hope in their lives. They are muddle-headed, fighting for a meal, killing, and betraying each other."
"I think you should see the power of the Lower Nest people from my rise."
Howard suddenly realized, and his blue eyes sparkled.
"You mean, once the Lower Nest people see hope, they will burst out with initiative, work hard, improve production efficiency, and then increase production capacity."
"Yes, but it's more than that, you will understand in the future."
Chaos is not yet known to the Vostroyans, and Nimrod did not say it clearly.
He thought of what another Primarch, Robert Guilliman, would say to Dante after waking up more than 10,000 years later.
As Guilliman said, only by giving people better living conditions can a clear dividing line be drawn between loyalty and betrayal, and they will understand what they are fighting for.
Through his own experience, Nimrod understood the significance of a meal to the people of the Lower Nest.
He also truly understood the question Guilliman asked Dante: When the enemy attacks, what reason does a person in a cruel hell have to refuse temptation?
The uneducated lower-class people will not accept the great truth preached by the state church priests even if they listen to it in person. They only know the oldest and simplest truth that they will die if they don't eat. Whoever feeds them is their god.
Since the "Black Emperor" wants to establish his own order, from now on, he has no ability to change the entire human group, but he can start by changing his home.
Nimrod wants to build a prosperous and developing world with huge development potential. This is the primary version of his kingdom.
"I want you to go to the Khantymansi Dome and use the original equipment there and my previous system to build a brand new dome."
"I will assign you a team of workers. You can learn from my previous system or recruit people from the surrounding domes."
"I hope you can learn how to be an 'arbitrator' and learn how to establish a new order."
Nimrod emphasized: "The order I want is not for you to give alms to the lower class, but to provide them with a system that can eat and live like a person through hard work and contribution!"
"This system can be used in every hive, every lower nest, and every dome!"
Howard frowned when he heard this.
If Nimrod asked to build a developed dome, it would be easy with the financial resources of the Find family.
But Nimrod's request for the entire Vostronia could not be done even if all the nobles of the Tezvok upper nest went bankrupt, not to mention that other families would not agree.
Seeing Howard deep in thought, Nimrod decided to open his mind.
"Don't be bound by the ideas of the Mechanicus. Technology is just a tool. I want you to establish a completely new order."
"You can set a qualified standard. Workers who complete the target will get a standard share, and those who are excellent can go to the upper nest to work."
"The upper nest can build a new factory, or even become a middle nest. The nest tower can be demolished and a new upper nest can be built. A new nest tower can be built on top of it."
Howard suddenly understood and said confidently.
"As you wish, my lord."
"Make good use of the abilities I have given you."
Howard heard this, his deep blue eyes sparkled, and he said confidently.
"I will never let you down."
"Now, take me to your family's treasure house."
"My lord, please follow me."
