Morgana thought for a moment and added: "Actually, there is another reason why we can't compete with them in Kalimdor, and that is that some core military factories dare not establish in Theramore. The situation in Theramore is too complicated, even more complicated than the Jasper Collar, not to mention that there is no comparison at all in terms of defense. Coupled with the blackwater pirates at sea, our shipping routes were greatly hindered. ”

Brad rubbed his eyebrows lightly and said, "Okay, I know the basic situation." I think our strategy in Kalimdor is wrong and shouldn't be the same strategy as Lordaeron's. It doesn't matter, if you encounter a problem, you just need to solve it, after all, this kind of long-term planning is not a matter of one or two days, Mayor Morgana, you need to think about it a little more, we need to develop new ideas. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I already have an immature plan, it's just a matter of importance, I can't call the shots, and the two ladies also said that you can decide." Morgana said and took out a copy of the text.

Brad waved his hand and said: "I already know the general situation, but now there are three problems that need to be solved urgently, reclaim Stratholme and quell the war in Theramore, the orcs have too much hatred for us Jasper Collar and especially for me, and the orcs are coming back, and our Jasper Collar will inevitably bear the brunt." Therefore, the orcs cannot be given a chance to attack the Jasper Territory again, the current dock area is different from before, and it would be too much of a loss if we were abandoned again. Until the thief settles these things, everything else has to be postponed. ”

Morgana nodded, "I see, but I think as long as you come back." The little master is also safe and sound, although these problems can be solved quickly. ”

"Don't slap me on the back." Brad said: "What is the specific situation of the other two cities now? ”

"Your Excellency. This shadow ruler is more familiar. Morgana said and stepped back into her seat.

Onexia stood up and said, "I'll start by talking about the situation of Stratholme, the situation of Stratholme is relatively simple. The Stansom participants were mainly down-and-out nobles, as well as some adventurers who did not know whether to live or die, and I also found traces of the Syndicate. The little nobles are all bewitched and promised by a powerful force, and behind them is Lordaeron...... and Alterac. The first thing they did when they took over the city was to seize the factories and disband the local garrison and reassemble the army. and formed a council and suppressed the former officials of the Jasper Collar. Nowadays, basically the original officials of the Jasper Collar have either defected. Or recall. ”

Brad nodded indifferently and asked, "What about Theramore?" ”

"The situation in Theramore is more complicated, and the goblins of Thorntooth City have used all their strength to attack Theramore. And tempted a group of adventurers as an internal response. They rebelled on the grounds that Theramore was squeezing their value, and encouraged other adventurers to respond, and as time passed, more and more of them rebelled. And the defenders of Theramore were under attack. Except for adventurers. Boars and centaurs are also employed quite a bit by goblins, mainly Blackwater pirates at sea. Onexia added, "But with the reopening of his portal, Theramore has gained a foothold. ”

Brad thought for a moment and said, "Stratholme's side is just some clowns, and now Moore is rushing to Stratholme with our most elite troops. It's not a problem to take it down again, I killed that old dog, and I believe that no force in the alliance dares to participate in this matter. My concern is that Moore practices the Way of Light and has a righteous heart. So be it, Onexia. You go with a part of the shadow, and Moll is in charge of retaking Stratholme. You're in charge of the aftermath, and you should know what to do with those guys who provoke Jasper Collar. ”

"Rest assured, master, I will certainly entertain them well, and I will let them know how luxurious death is for them sometimes, and trust that they will live well." Onexia understood in an instant what happened to Brad, this kind of seizure of the city, which must be completely quelled with iron and blood.

"Is the lord going to Theramore himself?" Morgana asked.

Brad shook his head and said: "The two ladies of Theramore will go over and settle the field first, don't you like to fight, that is, fight, if you stay on the side of the jasper collar all day long, something will happen sooner or later." You don't have to worry about anything else, if you are the mistress of the Jasper Territory, if you have scruples about me, then what's the point of me developing the territory. When this matter is understood, you will be in charge of your favorite legion. ”

"Husband, you misunderstood, I'm afraid of embarrassing the jasper collar. Among human beings, there has never been a lord's wife who leads troops to fight, otherwise the jasper leader will inevitably become the laughing stock of human nobles. Aurelia explained.

Brad was stunned, it turned out that because of this, Brad waved his hand indifferently and said: "Since my father's time, Jasper Collar has been out of that circle, not to mention, when did I care about which guys." They are nothing more than our financial resources. You must know that we, including you and me, should be the trendsetters, not care about their stupid ideas. And we have succeeded, I built the largest luxury casino, and now it is rumored outside, Brad Jasper is embarrassed to say that he can gamble if he receives gambling money. I built a night club, and now they are embarrassed to say they can play if they don't go to the old town. I was a proponent of electricity and good food, and now they still use candles, and they are embarrassed to feast on the rough food they used to have. Aristocrats, this is what I see as nobles, hens that lay golden eggs. ”

Seeing Morgana lost in thought, Brad continued, "Mayor Morgana, you have to remember. It was the upper classes that really controlled most of the wealth, not the hard-working peasants, workers, and ordinary citizens. So the money still has to be taken from the pockets of the rich. I don't say this because of my kindness and generosity, but because I know deep down that even if ordinary people squeeze hard, they can produce a few copper plates. But a few copper plates are life for them, I won't squeeze ordinary people, less or even no copper plates from them, there is really not much loss to us, but we can get a territory with a solid foundation. Now that Jasper Collar has proved that my path is viable, it needs to be deepened, and I hope Mayor Morgana will consider these words. ”

Morgana had never thought about it, but as the big butler of the Jasper Collar, she had understood from the books that Brad was right. Taxes collected by peasants and workers may be the main source of income elsewhere, but in Jasper Collar they are a very small share, only a few tenths.

The expenses of the Jasper Collar are very huge, and the original taxes cannot meet the expenses of the Jasper Collar. Among the several places where Jasper Collar controls zhì, Jasper Collar's side is completely a gold-absorbing treasure pot. The largest casino in the whole of Azeroth, with a large number of nobles coming and going every day, and there are also high rollers from all over the world and all races. The Jasper Collar Wharf District used to almost take the place of the port of Nanhai Town, but now, Jasper Collar has completely abandoned this business.

The old town is dominated by night clubs, and other industries are beginning to emerge. Under Bled's planning, this is more than just a single night club. Rare items brought by the fish-people from the deep sea, combined with precious items from all over Azeroth, have become the largest luxury market and fashion frontier. As Brad said, if you don't have a jasper collar and buy a few pieces of deep-sea jewelry, would you be embarrassed to come to the party?

The Holy City was quiet, but now it is a holy place for young people in the Eastern Kingdoms. Because here, you don't need to be a disciple of a strong person to get the guidance of a strong person. Of course, the premise is that the table xiàn must be excellent.

As previously planned, if you want to go to a school in the Holy District, you must be outstanding in the branch schools around Jasper Territory to have a chance to enter. And only in the top of the table in the holy city can you get the training and knowledge of the legendary powerhouse. In the past three years, the mages of Dalaran, the powerful lords of Lordaeron, as long as they are strong, have almost all been taught in the schools of the Jade Collar Holy City.

It was also an honor for many of Lordaeron's powerhouses to receive an invitation from the Jasper Collar, and it was an affirmation. Each issue of the lectures of the teachers who come to teach is published in a special issue and distributed to each school. The strong get fame and recognition, and the students get benefits and encouragement. A virtuous circle has been formed, and now Jasper Collar will no longer worry about finding a teacher. Even some of the elven mages of Quel'Salas came to hear the news. Because the materials of those lectures and the experiences of the strong are all public, a small library is dedicated to preserving some precious materials. With such an open communication platform, many strong people have been promoted with these materials.

Theramore began as a dumping base in Kalimdor, but is now a port for goods from both continents. The people of Lordaeron no longer have to buy Kalimdor's specialties at sky-high prices, and of course, the Jasper Collar doesn't lose money, but it's just not as black-hearted as goblins.

Mushroom Valley looks like a breeding ground for Brad to play with, but it has become a world of bugs on its body. The swarm has even been opened underground according to Brad's request, and in this underground cavern is the real core research institute of Jasper Collar.

Stratholme is also a new city, and now also a huge factory, but the main production is the products sold to Quel'Salas and civilian products, and the real core technology will not be present here. But Stratholme also tried to keep up with the Jasper Collars, and with their efforts, they were also impressive.

Several territories of the Jasper Collar had already been cultivated into one, and now the sudden disconnection would be incalculable for the Jasper Collar.

"Husband, where do you want to go?" Aurelia said to go to Theramore first, wondering where Brad was going...... (To be continued......)
