Chapter 6 Qualifications to Listen: Food Wars in the Chamber of Secrets
This year, the construction of the Dark Portal is about to be completed, and the portal between the two planets of Azeroth and Draenor is opened, but it is not yet stable.
This year, the tribes under the control of Gul'dan's Shadow Council will soon send vanguard scouts to establish many camps in the Black Swamp.
This year, Durotan and all the Frostwolf clan will be exiled for rebelling against Gul'dan, and they will move north to the Alterac Valley and start living a secluded life.
This year, the mage Khadgar is about to be sent by Anton Danis to the Karazhan Tower to serve as Medivh's apprentice and to spy on the secrets of the guardian.
This year, twelve-year-old Carlos is already as tall as his father's chin.
This year, Carlos, who had successfully made everyone forget his age, was qualified to attend family meetings, and he finally saw an opportunity to change his destiny.
In a secret room in the Lakeside Castle of Keldaron, the Barov family meeting is in progress.
"Lord Alex, King Terenas of Lordaeron has sent an emissary to contact the Agamand family." Brill's boss reported.
Brill is located in the center of the Silverpine Woodland. It is the main food production area of the Barov family and is also the largest town in the vicinity besides the King's City of Lordaeron.
In this world, yeoman farmers need to hand over 40% of their harvest to their lords, while tenant farmers need to hand over half to 60% of their harvest. Most kings collect poll taxes and military taxes from their vassals rather than agricultural taxes, which means that in addition to their own
Directly-affiliated territories cannot directly obtain crops. However, because the right to issue currency is in the hands of the king, the noble lords must also pay taxes in currency. Therefore, most lords who do not have enough circulating currency negotiate with the king and use grain to offset the tax.
.If kings want to control the fate of food, they need to go around in such a circle.
The Agamand family operates a mill with more than seven floors in Silver Pine Forest and is also one of the richest people. It is not difficult to understand that Tenaris wants to complete the purchase of summer grain and raise funds from wealthy people from various countries.
"Don't worry too much. The Agamand family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I want to reveal some information to old Varus, so I said that the Barov family plans to build maybe one or maybe ten mills near Brill for the residents.
Use it for free, that old guy will know how to do it." After finishing speaking, Alex took a sip of hot tea.
"How to arrange the grain purchase in Tarren Mill area, Lord Alex." Tarren Mill's business director asked.
"Just wait for the king to come and buy it. The food in the Tarren Mill area is related to the stability of the Kingdom of Alterac, so don't transfer it from outside." Alex Barov has not forgotten that he has always been a member of the Kingdom of Alterac.
The count still has this kingdom in his heart.
"Terenas has been trying to defeat Briel for more than a day or two. The summer grain will be harvested soon, and this year will definitely be a good harvest year. Whether it is the dwarves of Khaz Modan, the Kingdom of Gilneas or Kul Tiras, their
There won't be much food left. The caravans buying food will soon arrive at Nanhai Town and the Royal City of Lundaeron. It's time for our King Aiden to come down from the mountains to collect food. The mages of Dalaran and Quel'Thala
The elves of Sri Lanka will also come to trade. Therefore, whoever purchases more food from farmers will occupy a more advantageous position in foreign trade. The only people who are eligible to play in this game, except for Menethil, are Ba
Rolf and Trollbane." Alex's words were more for his son.
"The main farms in Arathi Highlands are the property of the Trollbane family. They don't need to purchase too much food from the nobles of Stromgarde to conduct large-scale food transactions with the dwarves of Ironforge. But the Arathi Highlands
The ghost place relies on the sky for food, and the handicraft industry is not developed. They must leave a considerable amount of food to deal with the disaster years. As a royal family, Menethil has a large family and half of the food in Lordaeron.
The Royal City of Dunlon, Andhador, Stratholme, and Hearthfell are all populous cities. The food Tenaris obtains through tax deductions must be given priority to the domestic supply. If he wants to engage in foreign trade, he must purchase more from lords and farmers.
of food. Although we, Barov, are not as powerful as Menethil, we have no less wealth than Terenas. The more important advantage is that Brill is located in the middle of the silver pine forest, and farmers are not interested in it.
Walk dozens of kilometers and then pay the city gate tax to trade in the Royal City of Lordaeron. This summer grain war, the main battlefields are in Hearthglen and Darrow County. Whoever controls the bulk grain in these two places can make it.
Dominate the summer grain market." Alex Barov slapped the table domineeringly.
"Sir Alex, the Lord of Hearth Castle is currently purchasing seafood in Nanhai Town. Would you like to contact him in advance?" asked the commercial director of Nanhai Town.
"Tirion Fording is a qualified lord. There is no need to do unnecessary things. In commercial wars, money is the way to go. If he is short of cash, you can buy him some supplies on credit and settle this year's loan at last year's summer grain price.
Just food, don't do other things." Alex replied.
Before being expelled by the Silver Hand, Tirion Fordring was still the lord of Hearth Castle. When he heard Tirion Fordring's name, Carlos paid special attention.
"Race does not represent honor... I know some orcs who are as honorable as the noblest knights, and I also know some humans who are as evil as the most cruel undead scourge." - Tirion Fordring.
This passage is too classic, and the Love and Family series of missions and the Rescue Marshal series of missions are even more classics that cannot be copied. Whether it is the heartbreaking roar of Lafayette who was a step late to regain his warhammer and saw his son being killed,
It was Marshal Reginald Windsor who decided to come back and voluntarily knelt when he walked across the Valley of Heroes Bridge. The Stormwind City Guards said, "May the light be with you, sir." "You are an inspiration to all of us.
, Your Excellency." "We are just the dust under your feet." "A living legend." His words once shocked Carlos and even brought tears to his eyes. The touch and positive energy brought by a game even exceeded those in CCTV news.
Reading and sensational.
Today, Lord Ferdinand is still a strong man, Tyran Fordring is still an infant, and Reginald Windsor is just a new recruit in Stormwind City.
After coming back to his senses and continuing to listen to his father's explanations and arrangements, Carlos discovered that he had been too naive in the past. How could a homeboy defeat the tried and tested Terenas Menethil II? Political gladiatorial combat
It is far more thrilling than fighting on the battlefield. So what if I know the future direction well? Medivh, a true prophet, is unable to make changes. How can I, a false prophet, tell my father what to do? Let's work hard to learn how to rule a family first.
