After Stellagossa followed Valilla to Silvermoon City for the first time, there were rumors that Viscount Salean Deep Shadow (at the time) had a confidante of the Blue Dragons.

The nobles of Silvermoon City who were the first to learn of this information knew that this was not just a rumor, but a deliberate release by the old king Anastria.

There are not many races that can make the proud High Elves bow their heads, and the mighty dragons are one of them.

Dragons are truly transcendent species, with an immortal lifespan, and when they become adults, they can directly escape the restrictions of mundane species through rituals.

When facing the dragons, the High Elves will consciously put away their arrogance and lower their posture.

The shock of Sarren's soft and hard application made the reactions of the more than 20 nobles present mixed, some were annoyed, some were convinced, and some had a smile in their hearts.

Sarren, who has excellent dynamic vision, saw the changes in everyone's expressions, and with such a two-handed combination, he could roughly see which nobles could be won over and which needed to be suppressed.

Interestingly, these nobles with different positions are also in different positions.

At the forefront are the centrists who are not yet on a firm stand.

If the chips Sarean came up with could impress them, they wouldn't mind lowering their profiles and asking for cooperation.

Standing in the middle is a group of hard-liners who plan to unite and put pressure on Sarren to cede his interests.

They didn't believe that a new earl would dare to resist strongly.

These people still have the meaning of gambling, betting on the right club, betting on the wrong one...... They didn't think Sarren dared to go too far.

The group of people standing at the back of the play with their arms crossed were the most determined, and they had already decided to follow Sarjan.

Most of these people are nobles who are close to the Deep Shadow Family and the Windrunner Family, and I believe that Saray will not cheat himself.

Thoughts flashed, and with a smile on his face, Salian motioned for the 26 people, including Wen Lessa, to take their seats.

Sure enough, the orientation chosen by the three groups around the large round table was clear.

Sitting on the left of Sarren is Winlesa, who represents the Windranger family, and on the right is the head of Valera's family, Viscount Sangunar.

Although it has not yet been officially announced, anyone with eyes can see that Valera will inevitably become Sarren's partner in the future, and the Sangunar family can also use this to further get closer to the Deep Shadow family.

The farther away from the Sarean, the lower the recognition and trust in the Sarean.

The white-haired old nobleman sitting directly across from Saljan had glared at him with fierce eyes from the beginning, as if he intended to rely on the majesty of his elders to give him a dismount.

However, after the two waves of performances just now, the old nobleman was somewhat lacking in confidence.

There were two dragons standing on the platform beside Salian, and none of the nobles dared to jump out and slap the table until they could find out the details of each other.

"Let's start the meeting."

Saléan motioned for the maid who worked in the Lord's Mansion to close the door, and the hustle and bustle of Unicorn Town was temporarily irrelevant to the soundproofed conference room.

"I know that all of you have gathered here to further develop your territory and contribute more tax revenue to our motherland."

Salaan smiled and nodded to everyone present, "In my capacity as the Royal Planner of Quel'Salas, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you on behalf of His Majesty Kael'thas. ”

Yes, Kael'thas had long known about the Venerable Assembly that Sarren was planning to convene.

According to the established rules of the feudal kingdom, the king had no right to meddle in the affairs of the noble domain, but each noble lord was required to pay all taxes to the treasury on time and in full every year.

To put it simply, the more the noble lords earned, the more taxes they paid to the treasury, and the richer the country became.

The royal family of the Sunchasers is definitely not poor, but to say that they are rich...... That's not going to happen.

Due to Darth Rema's frenzied division of apples during the founding of the country, most of Quel'Thalas's wealth was concentrated in the hands of the great nobles.

After 7,000 years of accumulation, the family background of the four nobles is deeper than that of the royal family of the Sunchaper, and each of them can be called a rich country.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Darthrema and the nobles were in the honeymoon period, and the two sides were farmers and farmers, and they did not realize the problem with this dual leadership system.

After Darth Rema's death, he was succeeded by his eldest son.

The short-lived (High Elf standard) king reigned for less than 100 years and was tragically killed in a bitter battle with the Amani trolls.

The third king, King Homs, the father of Anastria, reigned for more than 2,000 years.

During the reign of this king, the rise of Taranas Windranger and the formation of the Ranger Force laid a solid foundation for the steady development of Quel'Thalas.

In order to make up for the vast amount of resources consumed to build up the Ranger army, King Holmes repeatedly took money from the inner treasury of the Sunseeker royal family to supplement it.

True to King Homs' trust, Taranas led the Ranger to permanently drive the Amani trolls out of the northern part of the Eternal Song Forest.

It was also during this period that the Bandi Norrell Barrier was established.

As the external environment gradually stabilized, King Holmes finally found time to take care of his internal affairs.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

When the royal family of the day-chasers was so poor that they were tinkling, those great nobles who claimed to contribute to the country made a lot of war money, and they ate their brains one by one.

Let's not talk about it, after all, people make money by their ability.

What annoyed King Holmes the most was not this, but the fact that these insatiable nobles actually tried their best to evade taxes, and smuggling without official channels had become commonplace.

After finally establishing the foundation of the dynasty, the old and exhausted King Homs had no energy to fight with the nobles anymore, so he had no choice but to leave this hidden danger to his son, the fourth generation of the Sun King Anasteria.

When he first took over the throne, Anastria knew that this mess was not easy to deal with, and that if he didn't get it right, it would lead to a civil war in Quel'Thalas.

As young Anastria treads on thin ice and plays a political game with the Silvermoon Council, which is dominated by the great nobles, Amani trolls, backed by Zandalara, rise again.

The arrogant Troll Coalition even attacked the gates of Silvermoon City at one point.

A powerful external threat has led the Silvermoon Council and the royal family to put aside their conflicts and work together.

Anastria sent people to make contact with the human empire of Alaso, who had just completed the unification of the human empire.

The two countries, which share a common enemy, successfully reached a cooperation agreement and jointly led the shocking reversal that knocked the Amani troll to the ground.

The invincible Zandalar was also damaged in this war, and even Loa was killed a few of them, so he could only flee back to the Zendala Islands overseas in disgrace and recover behind closed doors.

Clearing out the external threat, Anastria, who was in the prime of life at the time, decided to fight the nobles and weaken the power of the lawless nobles.

In order to prevent the unscrupulous hands of the nobles who jumped over the wall, Anastria, who was widowed at an early age, sent his only immediate family member, Kael'thas, to Dalaran for refuge.

Without any worries, Anastria co-opted the nobles who had risen in the Troll Wars and challenged the founding nobles at home.

This battle between the royal family, the emerging nobles and the founding nobles lasted for more than 1,000 years, and finally ended with the discovery of the treason plotted by the four nobles, and the aristocratic faction that advocated the seizure of royal power was devastated.

Taking the surrender of the four nobles as an opportunity, the power of the old aristocracy has since collapsed.

After more than 1,000 years of struggle, he finally took the opportunity of the orc war to rid the country of moths, and the aging Anastria was content and tired at the same time.

Then came the events that Saljan had personally experienced, when the old king retired and a new king, Kael'thas, who advocated the reform of the old system, ascended to the throne.

Anastria reigned for 3,000 years, first fighting trolls, and then fighting with domestic nobles for a long time, and foreign wars and internal friction consumed a lot of resources, and the royal family's inner treasury was not very full.

When Kael'thas ascended to the throne, the treasury was still somewhat reserved, and the inner treasury of the day-chasing could be described as destitute, and only some magic weapons were reserved for awarding meritorious soldiers.

Will Kael'thas be able to sell these weapons and armor?

Of course not, isn't this a slap in the face of your own royal family.

Kael'thas didn't care about personal enjoyment, and he was worried about how the empty inner treasury would fill the void when the treasury was once again struggling to make ends meet.

Saljan is puzzled by Kael's strange brain circuitry.

Why make up for the loss of the treasury with the exclusive royal treasury? Wouldn't it be enough to find a way to expand the revenue of the state treasury?

Quel'Thalas's treasury relied mainly on taxes, and the more the lords in each region earned, the more taxes the treasury received.

The answer given by Salian is to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

Not to mention throttling, Anastria has been doing it since the time of his reign.

And open source is nothing more than to make the cake bigger, crack down on smuggling, and bring the wealth that belongs to the country back into the treasury.

This meeting was just a front stop, and Sarren had informed Kael'thas beforehand.

If this meeting goes as planned, Kael'thas intends to copy the homework and apply this template to the whole country with a slight modification, so that Quel'Thalas will be great again.
