This year, the tribes under the control of the Shadow Council of Gul'dan are about to send vanguard scouts to establish many camps in the Black Swamp.

This year, Durotan and all the Frostwolf clan are about to be exiled for rebelling against Gul'dan. They will move north to the Alterac Valley and start living a secluded life.

This year, the mage Khadgar is about to be sent by Anton Danis to the Karazhan Tower to be Medivh's apprentice, and to spy on the secrets of the guardian.

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

This year, Carlos, who had successfully made everyone forget his age, was qualified to attend family meetings, and he finally saw an opportunity to change his destiny.

In a secret room in the Lake Center Castle of Keldaron, the Barov family meeting was in progress.

"Lord Alex, King Terenas of Lordaeron has sent an emissary to contact the Agamand family." Brill's boss reported.

Brill is located in the center of the Silverpine Woodland. It is the main food production area of ​​the Barov family and is also the largest town in the vicinity besides the King's City of Lordaeron.

In this world, yeoman farmers need to hand over 40% of their harvest to the lord, while tenant farmers need to hand over half to 60%. Most kings levied poll taxes and military taxes from their vassals instead of agricultural taxes, which meant that the king could not directly obtain crops except from his own direct territory. But because the right to issue currency is in the hands of the king, the noble lords must also pay taxes in currency. Therefore, most lords who did not have enough circulating currency negotiated with the king and used grain to offset taxes. If kings want to control the fate of food, they need to go around in such a circle.

The Agamand family runs a mill with more than seven floors in Silver Pine Grove and is also one of the richest people. It is not difficult to understand that Tenaris wants to complete the acquisition of Xia Liang and raise funds from wealthy people in various countries.

"Don't worry too much. The Agamand family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If I want to reveal some information to old Varus, I said that the Barov family plans to build maybe one or maybe ten mills near Brill for the residents. It’s free to use, that old guy will know how to do it.” After finishing speaking, Alex took a sip of hot tea.

"How to arrange the purchase of grain in the Taren Mill area, Lord Alex." asked the business director of Taren Mill.

"Just wait for the king to buy it. The food in the Tarren Mill area is related to the stability of the Kingdom of Alterac, so there is no need to transfer it from outside." Alex Barov has not forgotten that he has always been a member of the Kingdom of Alterac. The Earl still has this kingdom in his heart.

"Terenas has no intention of fighting Brill for a day or two. The summer grain will be harvested soon, and this year will definitely be a good harvest year. Whether it is the dwarves of Khaz Modan, the Kingdom of Gilneas or Kul Tiras, their There won't be much food left. The caravans buying food will soon arrive at Nanhai Town and the Royal City of Lundaeron. It's time for our King Aiden to come down from the mountains to collect food. Dalaran mages and Quel'Thala The elves of Sri Lanka will also come to trade. Therefore, whoever purchases more food from farmers will occupy a more advantageous position in foreign trade. Apart from Menethil, the only person eligible to play in this game is Ba Rolf and Trollbane." Alex's words were more for his son.

"The main farms in the Arathi Highlands are the property of the Trollbane family. They don't need to purchase too much food from the nobles of Stromgarde to conduct large-scale food transactions with the dwarves of Ironforge. But the Arathi Highlands The ghost place relies on the sky for food, and the handicraft industry is not developed. They must leave a considerable amount of food to deal with the disaster years. As a royal family, Menethil has a large family and half of the food in Lordaeron is in their hands, but the Lordaeron Royal City of Dunlon, Andhador, Stratholme, and Hearthfell are all populous cities. The food Tenaris obtains through tax deductions must be given priority to the domestic supply. If he wants to engage in foreign trade, he must purchase more from lords and farmers. of food. Although we, Barov, are not as powerful as Menethil, our available wealth is no less than that of Terenas. The more important advantage is that Brill is located in the middle of the silver pine forest, and farmers are not interested in it. Walk dozens of kilometers and then pay the city gate tax to trade in the Royal City of Lordaeron. This summer grain war, the main battlefields are in Hearthglen and Darrow County. Whoever controls the bulk grain in these two places can make Dominate the summer grain market." Alex Barov slapped the table domineeringly.

"Sir Alex, the Lord of Hearth Castle is currently purchasing seafood in Nanhai Town. Would you like to contact him in advance?" asked the commercial director of Nanhai Town.

"Tirion Fording is a qualified lord. There is no need to do unnecessary things. In commercial wars, money is the way to go. If he is short of cash, you can buy him some supplies on credit and settle this year's loan at last year's summer grain price. Just food, don’t do other things." Alex replied.

Before being expelled by the Silver Hand, Tirion Fordring was still the lord of Hearth Castle. When he heard Tirion Fordring's name, Carlos paid special attention.

"Race does not mean honor... I know some orcs who are as honorable as the noblest knights, and I also know some humans who are as evil as the cruelest undead scourge." - Tirion Fordring

This passage is really too classic, and the Love and Family series of missions and the Rescue Marshal series of missions are classics that cannot be copied. Whether it was Lafayette who was a step too late to regain his warhammer, howled with heartbreak after seeing his son being killed, and decided to come back, or Marshal Reginald Windsor who voluntarily knelt down when he walked across the Valley of Heroes Bridge in Stormwind City The words of the guard, "May the light be with you, sir." "You are an inspiration to us all, Your Excellency." "We are nothing but dust under your feet." "A living legend." Carlos was shocked and even burst into tears. The touching and positive energy brought by a game even exceeds the praise and sensationalism in CCTV news.

Today, Lord Ferdinand is still a strong man, Tyran Fordring is still an infant, and Reginald Windsor is just a new recruit in Stormwind City.

After coming back to his senses and continuing to listen to his father's explanations and arrangements, Carlos realized that he was too naive in the past. How could a nerd defeat the tried and tested Terenas Menethil II? The political battle is far more thrilling than the battle on the battlefield. So what if I know the future direction well? Medivh, a true prophet, is unable to make changes. How can I, a false prophet, tell my father? Let's work hard to learn how to rule a family first.

I am the eldest son of the extremely wealthy Barov family. I am already qualified to participate in family meetings. I will definitely be able to change the future of these tragic heroes and the Barov family. Carlos cheered secretly in his heart.
