442. Rich and poor
Why are human beings poor?
Aren't humans occupying the most fertile land? Doesn't humanity have the broadest territory? Isn't humanity the largest, and at the same time the most elite army? Why are humans still poor?
It is because of these things that human beings are poor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The land is indeed the most vast and fertile. The army is also the most elite and even has the most cities and trade routes, and even the goblins are not as good as humans, but humans are really poor.
The reason for this is that there are too many human beings.
A single country provides millions of armies for the undead. Of course, there is nothing wrong with Lordaeron being one of the strongest human kingdoms, but know that not all Lordaeron citizens have become undead. In fact, only about 70% of the people of Lordaeron who became undead were present, and the remaining 30% were either not killed abroad at the time, escaped in time, or went into hiding.
In this way, the number of Lordaeron's people is about one hundred thousand.
And that's just a Lordaeron.
The size of the Stormwind Kingdom is not much worse than that of Lordaeron, and the population of one million is stable.
Then there is Gilneth, which, although closed off from the rest of the country, is just as huge. There are also territories such as Nanhai Town, with a population of about hundreds of thousands.
Then there is Kurtilas, which has a population of more than half a million and is widely distributed throughout the world.
Further down is Dalaran, the population is considered the smallest, but there are definitely more than 100,000 people. If you count the extinct Riptide Castle and Alterac, the number of human beings is several million, which can be called the strongest scale on the continent. When there are more people, there are more mouths, and when there are more mouths, there are more foods.
Don't look at the fact that human beings occupy the most vast and fertile land, but there is really not much left of the annual output. Azeroth's cultivation technology is still relatively backward, and the knowledge of alchemy is not well applied to agriculture, not because I don't want to, but because the cost is too great to outweigh the losses.
That's why every year humans have to import food like the Night Elves.
The Night Elves are a large food producer, a large number of druids ensure the growth of plants and the production of food, and the elves themselves do not consume much, so there is enough rain to export to humans, and this one out is money.
There are more people and more other living materials, and a large number of armies built to protect the vast land also need armaments, in short, there are too many places for human beings to spend money, and all of them are astronomical, and the sum of them all at once wiped out the per capita income of mankind. As a result, human beings are the poorest race, and there is no one.
But now, orcs may be one of them, if there are no orcs, humans are really the poorest race, counting orcs, they are now about half a catty. There are also a lot of orcs, hundreds of thousands, and all of them are big-bellied men, the amount of food that an orc eats is equivalent to two humans, and the chassis of the orcs are all barren areas, and the pressure of survival can be imagined.
Fortunately, the orcs are really smart, and after landing in Kalimdor, they formed an alliance with the trolls for the first time. Trolls have money, and they don't spend money if they have money, and they don't spend it if they have nowhere to spend it, just cheaper than orcs. Immediately after that, they formed an alliance with the Minotaurs, who are second only to the Night Elves in terms of production, and their farming skills are definitely the strongest in the world.
That is, because they were chased by centaurs and couldn't keep their hometown, otherwise the minotaurs would definitely be on the list.
With the help of the orcs, they got a more stable place to live, and suddenly released a strong production capacity, which not only made up for the lack of food for the orcs, but also greatly enriched the grain depot of the entire tribe, which can be described as a huge contribution.
Coupled with the blood elves and goblins that were added later on the original space-time line, the entire tribe was no worse than the alliance, and even slightly stronger in terms of armament. Otherwise, when Brain Dead Roar is the enemy of the whole world, there will be no need for the entire alliance and tribe to unite against him.
The evil demon is making trouble in the back is one of the reasons, the orcs themselves, who have a lot of resources and then wantonly make all kinds of powerful equipment, have completely crushed any race with their strength at that time, if they don't unite, I'm afraid they really can't kill him.
In addition to humans and orcs, the third poorest is the dwarf.
These little ones aren't very good at business, and although they're about the same size as goblins, they don't have that many fancy intestines. On the contrary, they are better at research, and research requires all kinds of materials, so it will consume a lot of materials from the gnomes. Thanks to their proximity to the dwarves, many things can be obtained at super cheap or even for free, at the cost of providing various engineering products, which can be regarded as mutually beneficial.
Because of this, the gnomes are attached to the dwarves, and of course the gnomes do not have any dissatisfaction, they are quite happy. The gnomes themselves are not good at fighting, so why not have the dwarves to help protect them? Could it be that after the fall of Nomorigan, the gnomes were completely dependent on the dwarves, and even recaptured Nomorigen with the help of the dwarves.
The above is the rich race and the poor race of Azeroth, of course, this is only relative.
Even if they are a poor race, their lives are not bad, but they don't have much food to spare.
A rich race, that is, really rich, dwarves are the best among them, and it is no wonder that Furstad is so wealthy and dares to speak ruthlessly.
Fortunately, Du Teng's trip is not to make money, although he will still charge a high price, but that is a normal business practice. High-alcohol wine is different from low-alcohol wine, and if the price is the same, low-alcohol wine will all die. Moreover, the production of high-alcohol sake requires more food and materials, and it is impossible to be as cheap as low-alcohol wine.
I believe that Foss must be able to understand, so he dares to let his teeth go so far.
Du Teng is here to form an alliance, and it is enough to earn back the capital, anyway, there are more than dwarves in the world who love wine. What's more, he can make money from Ironforge Castle, even the Black Iron Clan, anyway, if it's just a commercial act, who is selling this kind of thing is not selling. The people of this world don't know that alcohol has a virus-killing effect, and with a priest, the anti-virus effect of alcohol is far less important than on the earth, so even if he sells high-grade alcohol to the hostile camp, no one can say anything.
The gossip is far away......
In the face of Furstad's deep pockets.
Du Teng smiled slightly.
"There's no hurry, I've brought a lot of these casks here, if you really need them, why don't you find a place to store them now."
"Well, then...... Who, you take His Highness Lim to the wine storehouse, take an inventory, and remember not to drink secretly! ”
Furstad said, then turned his back to Duten.
Du Teng is still curious, is this really so strong? After drying two and a half bottles in one go, don't you feel dizzy at all?
He glanced back and smiled.
No wonder Furstad didn't say a word to him, it seemed so rude, it turned out that he couldn't hold on, and now he was already leaning on the armrest, his big head was shaking, and he couldn't stand steadily.
Du Teng smiled secretly, Furstad deliberately did this to keep the dignity of the lord of a country, this is too upright, too unpleasant. (To be continued.) )
