Chapter 6: Qualifications to Listen: Food Wars in the Chamber of Secrets

This year, the Dark Gate was about to be built, and the portal between the planets Azeroth and Draenor opened, but it was not yet stable

This year, the tribes under the control of the Shadow Council of Gul'dan are about to send a vanguard scout force to set up many camps in the Black Swamp.

In this year, Durotan and all the Frostwolf Clans were about to be banished for their rebellion against Gul'dan, and they moved north to the Alterac Valley to live a life of seclusion.

This year, the mage Khadgar is about to be sent by Antondanis to Karazan Tower as Medivan's apprentice, and by the way, he will spy on the secrets of the Guardians.

This year, twelve-year-old Carlos was already as tall as his father's chin.

This year, Carlos, who had succeeded in making everyone forget his age, was qualified to sit in on the family meeting, and he finally saw the opportunity to change his fate.

In a secret room in the heart of the Lake Fort in Keldaron, a meeting of the Barov family is underway.

"Lord Alex, King Terenus of Lordaeron has sent another secret envoy to contact the House of Agamande." Brill's principal's report.

Located in the heart of the Silver Pine Glades, Brill was the main food producer for the Barov family and the largest town in the vicinity outside of the royal city of Lordaeron.

In this world, yeoman farmers need to hand over forty percent of the lord's harvest, and tenant farmers need to hand over half to sixty percent. Most kings levied poll and military taxes on their vassals rather than agricultural taxes, meaning that kings could not directly obtain crops except for their own direct domains. But because the right to issue money was in the hands of the king, the noble lords had to pay taxes in money. Therefore, most of the lords who did not have enough currency in circulation negotiated with the king and used grain to offset their taxes. If the kings wanted to master the life of the grain, they needed to go around such a circle.

The Agamande family, who run a mill over seven floors of silver pine woodland, are also second to none of the wealthy. It is not incomprehensible that Tenaris wants to complete the purchase of summer grain and raise funds from the rich people of various countries.

"Don't worry too much, the Agamander family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if you want to tell old Varus some news, just say that the Barov family is going to build maybe one, maybe ten mills near Brill for the residents to use for free, and the old thing will know how to do it." After saying that, Alex took a sip of hot tea.

"How is the grain purchase in the Talenmere region arranged, Lord Alex." Talenmere's head of commerce asked.

"Just wait for the king to come and buy it, the grain in the Talenmere region is related to the stability of the Alterac Kingdom, so don't transfer it out." Alex. Barov did not forget that he had always been the count of the kingdom of Alterac and that he still had this kingdom in his heart.

"Terenus didn't have the idea of beating Brill for a day or two. The summer grain harvest is about to be made, and this year is sure to be a bumper year. Whether it is the dwarves of Kazmodan, the kingdom of Gilneys, or the Kurtilas, they will not have much food in stock, and the caravan that buys grain will soon reach the town of Nanhai and the royal city of Lundaeron, and it is time for our king Aiden to come down from the mountains to collect food. The mages of Dalaran and the elves of Quel'Thalas will also come to trade. So whoever buys more grain from the peasants will occupy a more advantageous position in foreign trade. The only people who are eligible to play in this game, apart from Minahir, are Barov and Thorbain. Alex's words were more for his son.

"The main farms in the Arathi Highlands are the property of the Torbain family, and they don't need to buy too much grain from the nobles of Riptide to trade large amounts of grain with the dwarves of Ironforge. But the hellish place of the Arathi Heights depends on the weather for food, and the handicraft industry is not developed, so they must leave a considerable amount of food behind to cope with the disaster year. As a royal family, although Minerhil has a big family, half of the grain in the entire Lordaeron continent is in their hands, but the royal city of Lordaeron, Anhador, Stratholme, and Fort Hearthh are all large population cities, and the grain obtained by Tenariston Guò tax deduction must be given priority to supply the country, and if you want to carry out foreign trade, you must buy more grain from the lords and farmers. And we, Barov, are not as powerful as Minethir, but we have no less wealth than Terenus. The main advantage is that Brill is located in the middle of the Silver Pine Glade, and the farmers are not interested in walking dozens of kilometers and paying the second gate tax to trade in the royal city of Lordaeron. In this summer grain war, the main battlefield is in Hearthvalley and Talung County, and whoever masters the bulk grain in these two places will be able to dominate the summer grain market. "Alex. Barov slapped the table domineeringly.

"Lord Alex, the lord of the Fireplace Fort is currently buying seafood in Nanhai Town, do you want to contact it in advance." The commercial executive of Nanhai Town asked.

"Tirio. The kid Ferdina is a qualified lord, and he doesn't have to do anything superfluous, just a commercial war or money to open the way. If he is short of cash, he can buy some supplies on credit, borrow money to settle this year's grain at the price of last year's summer grain, and don't do the rest. Alex replied.

Before being expelled by the Silver Hand, Tirio. Fording is also the lord of the Fireplace Castle. Hear Tirio. Fordin's name, Carlos paid special attention.

"Race is not an honor ...... I know some orcs, who are as honorable as the noblest knights, and I know some humans, who are as evil as the most cruel of the undead scourges. —Tirio Fordin

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 replicated. Whether it's the old Fergus who regained the hammer of war, who was a step late, who roared in heart when he saw his son killed, and decided to make a comeback, or Reginald. The Stormwind guards, who voluntarily knelt down as Field Marshal Windsor crossed the Vale of Heroes Bridge, said, "May the light be with you, sir." "You are an inspiration to all of us, Your Excellency." "We are nothing but dust under your feet." "A living legend." Carlos was shocked and even brought tears to his eyes. The touching and positive energy brought by a game even surpasses the praise and sensationalism in CCTV news.

Nowadays, the old man is still a sturdy man. Furding was an infant baby, Reginald. Wendthor is just a new recruit in Stormwind.

Coming back to his senses and continuing to listen to his father's explanations and arrangements, Carlos found that his past self was too naïve, how an otaku could fight the tried and tested Terenus. Minecil II. The gladiatorial battles in politics are far more thrilling than the fighting on the battlefield. I know what the future holds, and the true prophet Medivan is powerless to make changes, so what can I, the false prophet, tell my father? Let's try to learn how to rule a family first.

I am the eldest young master of the rich Barov family, and I am already qualified to participate in the family meeting, and I will definitely be able to change the future of these tragic heroes and the Barov family. Carlos cheered in his heart.
