Chapter 489: Population Business
The Alliance Leaders Summit, the top leaders of all the alliance member countries will be present, but to Benny's surprise, he is the first to arrive in Stormwind, according to the distance of the route, Ironforge and Nomorigen are much closer than Stratholme, Gianna is a master of using teleportation books, theoretically speaking, she can reach any corner of this world in 1 minute, as long as she has the spatial coordinates there.

Gianna is in Orgrimmar and is expected to be back in two days, with the others arriving in a week. "Varian seems to have enjoyed walking in the gardens of the palace, especially with his son, where the assassination took place, and there are still traces of battle all around, and there are nervous royal guards everywhere.
Benny nodded, it seemed that Varian also saw very clearly that he was not a member of the Alliance, although Lordaeron had always been a brother of Stormwind, but judging from Benny's actions, he had no intention of carrying on this tradition. Dawn Light is seen by all as a new nation, and more importantly, a country that claims to be neutral between the Alliance and the Horde.
"I know exactly what you're here for. "Varian, like Benny, doesn't like political conversations too much, and he prefers to be straight. "Still----- Stormwind can't afford anything you bring with you, and all of our resources have been sent to the Cursed Lands. "This war can't be escaped, Varian also needs to temporarily transfer the contradictions in the country, whether it is the contradiction between the royal family and the nobles, or the contradiction between the nobles and the commoners, the outer realm is a good choice, and the matter of the Burning Legion does not allow them to escape, and the nobles are not all stupid, otherwise they will not be able to inherit for thousands of years.
"I don't need money, and I don't need military supplies. ”
The existence of the intelligence network makes it clear to Benny that Varian is right, the Alliance's troops and resources are gathering towards the curse, the first and seventh legions in his mouth have been sent there, and the tribe has also gathered a force of more than 30,000 people, and the two sides have worked hard to clear the fog near the Dark Gate, and now one east and one west are stationed on both sides of the Dark Gate, sending countless scouts into the Dark Gate to listen to the situation, according to Benny's estimate, within half a month, the two sides will definitely have a move, it is said that they have been negotiated to jointly attack the Dark Gate under the mediation of the Grand Druid Malfurion。
"Then what do you need?" In this chaotic era, how much power you have in your hands, how much power you have to speak, this power includes your own strength, you include the army in your hands, and how many resources you have in your hands.
If it weren't for an army in his hands that no one feared, how could Benny be able to mediate disputes between the Horde and the Alliance? Prestige? Maybe Thrall cares about this, but the Warsong Clan doesn't.
The barren land could not feed Orgrimmar, let alone the tribes, they needed to obtain the resources they needed to survive by other means, and commerce was not something that a people who had just left the nomadic society could play, and plunder became their only option, at least in their own opinion.
If Benny hadn't promised the tribe a fair price for food in exchange for minerals and furs, the contract would only bind them for a month, or less, the tribe was not a centralized system, and the leaders of each race had a lot of rights, at least, they could control their clan to do what they wanted, and for a tribe that couldn't have enough to eat, there was only one option to plunder.
"Stratholme's food production is already the Union and the Horde combined. ”
Varian didn't believe it, and Benny didn't believe it when he first saw this data, but the power of seed optimization and mechanized cultivation was beyond his imagination, especially since the process of seed selection, which should have been decades long, was shortened by a hundred times under the leadership of several powerful druids, and it is not surprising that this happened, but the increase in productivity made the population problem more prominent, although mechanization moved most of the farmers to the factories, turning them into workers, but it still couldn't be filled. Dawn Light's gaps in future development plans.
"Why else do you think I'd use food to help the tribe?" Benny smiled. "Whether you believe it or not, I don't need money, I don't need resources, I need people. ”
"People?"
"Blacksmiths, miners, builders, engineers, warriors, priests, mages, even thieves, as long as there is an elder with a skill, I want them all. ”
"You want me to buy and sell people?"
Azeroth is a very deformed world, yes, deformed, there are all kinds of high-tech machinery, even more advanced than the previous life, but the production of this world is extremely low, the difference between the two is hundreds of years, and even a small drought can make a country lack of food resources.
Slavery had long ceased to exist in the Union countries, and human trafficking was absolutely illegal, but the slave business had always existed, and the tribes had always retained slavery.
There are more other deformed places, especially the army, the soldiers of the alliance have been professionalized, but they still retain the European-style peasant and soldier system, they are farmers in peacetime, and the nobles of each fief in wartime issue a summoning order, with noble knights as the backbone, and gather peasants to form an army, logically speaking, the two are contradictory, but they do exist in this world, and Stormwind City now even has a militia system, which is simply a hodgepodge.
There are many other deformities in this world, for example, in the previous life, the alliance's military equipment developed rapidly, and it didn't take ten years to develop tanks with high mobility and muskets that could fire continuously, but the alliance still retained the way of cold weapon combat, which is simply incredible, don't they know that when they enter a group to fight, they only send corpses in front of artillery? Not to mention that their enemies have spells of mass destruction, which are much more powerful than cannons.
Benny has always wondered how the world came to be the way it is today.
"I'm going to help you with your latest military and civilian machinery free of charge, as long as you authorize the 'Dawn Light' to recruit skilled elders in the local area, I won't buy or sell people, because I respect the law, how about it? ”
What is the most important thing in a developing country? Of course, it is talent, no matter what kind of talent he is, even if he can only fool, as long as he is better than others and can fool people, then he is a talent, and what the 'Dawn Light' lacks now is talent, and all aspects are lacking.
"I need to think about it. "Varian wanted to say yes, not only because he trusted Benny, but also because he had heard from Anduin about how powerful the Dawn Light's weapons were, and how good the machinery was, but he still needed to think about it, because he was the king of the country.
"Two days later, when Gianna arrives, we can do a 'joint exercise' to show off the equipment. "Whether you say it or not, you have to let people see it with their own eyes, and Ironforge and Nomorigen don't need it, they are members of the research department themselves.
"Good!" Varian nodded dryly.
