Chapter 7 Qualifications to Listen: The truth never belongs to the majority

The morning light began with the meeting and ended with a starry sky. During the meeting, the deacons of the family, who had been given clear instructions, left and servants who carried the latest news came in.

After arranging the work of the last deacon, a hungry Alex. Barov, Carlos. Barov and his son sat down in their chairs without any image.

"It's boring, this kind of meeting." Alex smiled softly at his son.

"No, I think I've learned a lot, and at the same time I think my father is amazing." Carlos really thinks so.

"Lucson has arranged dinner, let's wait a while." Alex's tone became softer and softer, and the child's adoring gaze made Alex more proud than the 10,000 words of compliment from his subordinates.

Carlos is his pride.

For the sake of the Barov family, Alex traveled all over the Lordaeron continent all year round, maneuvering between major forces, and could not be with his family for half of the year. But Carlos never had to worry about him, he was self-disciplined, self-reliant, eager to learn, and physically strong, making him a perfect successor.

In between breaks, Alex plans to talk to his son about the secrets of the aristocracy.

"Carlos, remember what you said to your father when you went to manage the new life of Prince Alsace?" Alex's face was teased, and it was a bad taste to see his son, who was always a little adult, embarrassed.

"Remember, I still think that my father should be king." Carlos' face was full of pride, and Alex was very satisfied with the sense of accomplishment.

"It's hard, crown, it's just a heavy burden. Child, do you know, if we want, our Barov family can overthrow the Pirenod family in a month, gain the support of the great nobles of Alterac in three months, and ascend to the throne as king in half a year. Alex said this lightly, and Carlos's eyes widened in shock.

"And then the family went bankrupt."

Carlos's whole face was instantly embarrassed.

Alex then gave Carlos an account.

The output of one acre of land in a year can feed 2.2 to 2.5 adults, and the output of one well-trained infantryman is about 2 acres of land, and the output of one qualified cavalryman is about 5 acres. The Barov family's fiefdom accounts for half of Alterac, but counting the Brill militia, the South Sea Town militia guard, the Tarunmere garrison and the castle guard of the Keldaren Lake Fort, the total number of people is less than 2,000, counting the maid team and servants and deacons at all levels, there are only 3,000 people serving the Barov family, and one Tarommere income can feed these people. However, King Aiden has a regular army of 7,000 people, among which the Knights of the King of Alterac are the elite of the elite, and the cavalry of one of the Knights of the King of Alterac is estimated to be 10 acres of arable land to support.

If the Barov family becomes the royal family of Alterak, in order to defend the kingdom, it is necessary to organize an army of the same size, purchase weapons and equipment of the corresponding scale, as well as the service placement costs of soldiers and the benefit fee of buying domestic nobles, which will take about 30,000 acres of land for 5 years.

At the previous meeting, Carlos already knew that there were not 10,000 acres of farmland directly under the family, and there was a rented farm in the Arathi Highlands with about 1,000 acres, which was the farmland belonging to the Barov family.

This account does not account for the massive amount of wealth that would be spent on the Pyrinord family's counterattack and the support of the surrounding kingdoms.

It's not that I can't, but I don't dare. Carlos sighed, the major affairs of the family and the country are really not solved by otaku patting their brains, but fortunately, they have not fooled around in the past few years except tossing themselves. The human heart is so complicated.

Lu Sen led the servants to finish arranging the dishes and exited the room, and the Barov father and son chatted while eating.

"Another important point is that half a year ago, the Council of Tirisfa was destroyed, and the family's hundreds of years of investment were wasted." Alex had a pained expression.

The Council of Tirisfa? The Last Watcher Medivan? Seventeen-year-old Egwene forever? The Barov family is one of the financiers behind it?

Don't be so informative! Carlos has a feeling that his three views have been refreshed, knowing that the Barov family is very DIao, but he didn't expect it to be so DIao, and the original history of the Barov family being implicated and liquidated will not be directly related to the destruction of the Tirisfa Council. Thinking about it, Carlos was a little distracted.

"Father, can you ask a question?" Carlos hesitated, but decided to ask the doubts in his mind.

"You say." Alex put down the spoon and looked at his son.

"I heard that Mother is the little sister of Master Antonis, how did you get it?" Carlos weighed it several times, and finally chose to get three words.

When playing WOW, the psychic academy was all rotten, and the undead Jennis. Barov is an annoying boss with various doppelganger illusions that waste his time. But in this life as her son, Carlos had to admit that Janis. Barov is an excellent woman.

First-class appearance, gentle personality, and able to give birth.

Knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and able to give birth.

Widely connected, highly communicative, and able to give birth.

There's a celebrity brother who has a crush on her, and he's also a master of illusion, so he can give birth.

The sum of all the advantages, "high-end atmosphere and grade, simple and low-key international style, double champion of hall cooking, visual spirit and enjoyment" is Carlos his mother.

How did Alex, this kind of superb woman, get started, I'm really curious.

"What else, because it's handsome!" Alex gave his son an irrefutable answer.

Back in the bedroom, Carlos lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The Dark Gate has been built, but it is not stable enough, Wu Yanzu, no, it is Guldan who is doing his best to stabilize the turmoil in the space. A small force of orcs had already arrived in the Swamp of Sorrows (at this point in time, it was also called the Dark Swamp) to establish a spearhead. But that's a matter of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the news won't get around for a while. In the 4th year of the Dark Gate, King Ryan was assassinated, Stormwind was broken, and Anduin. Salou and his cousin Varian fled to Lordaeron, and the First Orc War ended.

Four years, four years to go, sixteen-year-old self officially came of age, and the second orc war that was supposed to destroy the country was the time for him to do a lot. You can't ignore politics or something, but you must not indulge in it, my father is in the prime of life, and he can still shelter himself from the wind and rain, but as a traverser, Carlos understands that war is the main theme of the future. It's still too weak, so let's participate less in this kind of time-wasting meeting in the future.
