What is taste?
Rich people eat simple meals because of their taste, indifference and feelings.
The poor eat simple food to survive, but they are helpless and miserable.
Taste is the way the loudest person takes off their pants and farts.
What is public opinion?
During the French Civil War:
Newspapers of the first day, "Monsters from Corsica land in Port Joan."
The next day's newspaper read, "The unspeakable man-eating devil approaches Grasse."
The newspapers of the third day read, “Despicable thieves enter Grenoble.”
The newspapers of the fourth day, "Napoleon Bonaparte captures Lyon."
Newspapers of the fifth day, "General Napoleon approaches Fontainebleau."
The newspaper of the sixth day read, "His Majesty the Sovereign Emperor arrived today in his faithful Paris."
Public opinion will kill those who dare to tell you the truth and deceive those who do not know the truth.
What is a trend?
When you control public opinion, your taste becomes the trend.
His Majesty Carlos likes to eat spotted ratfish.
So the spotted rattail that used to cost thirty copper coins per pound is now sold for two silver coins.
His Majesty Carlos wears a waist-cinching uniform with a stand-up collar and shoulder pads.
Therefore, even the conscripted civilian husbands in charge of logistics and transportation think that the clothes will wrinkle when they bend down, which is not conducive to work. Even if they swing the hoe, they will tear the threads under the armpits.
His Majesty Carlos said that farming in Taren Mir cannot be resumed before April and the state will take back ownership of the land.
This is against the rules. Unless the family tree is dead, all legal heirs are dead. Otherwise, the royal family has no right to take back any owned land.
Rules are always rules, but they are just rules.
In the name of war, die or become cowardly, choose one.
So when the Alterac army regained the entire territory of Tarren Mill, Carlos's "Limited Time Return to Farming Order" accompanied the good news back home. Alex Barov, the Grand Duke Regent of the Kingdom of Alterac. King Carlos Barov's biological father.
When the Grand Duke received the decree signed by his son. After hesitating for a long time, I still felt that the appearance was too ugly.
After thinking for a long time, the Grand Duke took out a piece of edict paper from the drawer.
After transcribing his son's general order, Alex added a paragraph at the end.
All newly cultivated farmland within the time limit only needed to pay the tenant rent during the summer harvest, and the royal family recognized the land ownership of the cultivator. Any lord who organized his return to farming properly would pay as much as the feudal fee for the summer harvest and double the amount for the autumn harvest. If the lord was unable to organize re-cultivation, he must pay the protest tax according to the territory area, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the land ownership, and the protest tax must be paid before the summer harvest.
After looking at it carefully several times. Alex didn't see any flaws, nodded with satisfaction, and added his own name under his son's somewhat outdated signature.
The Barov family has two apple orchards and three farms in Tarrenmere. It also owns the town of Tarren Mill, but regardless of the land area, the cultivated land area alone is less than 3% of the Tarren Mill area.
Although it is a great temptation to take Tarren Mir as their own, the Barov family still understands the principle of eating alone and making black shit, and added a relatively mild supplement after the king's order.
After changing the "Limited Time Return to Plowing Order", Grand Duke Alex unexpectedly found that the afternoon had passed just like that. I only dealt with this one thing all afternoon, and there were still piles of documents on the table.
"What a worry-free son, no matter what you do, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. If the negotiation with Terenas breaks down, the only option is to purchase food at a high price. Then this battle, all the war dividends They all belong to several other companies.”
Sighing silently in his heart, the Grand Duke decided to take a rest. His wife and children were waiting for him to have dinner together.
For the sake of the crown of the Barov family, Alex has not had a good rest for a long time.
As for the issue of what to do if Carlos is defeated and the orcs wreak havoc on Tarren Mill again after the "Limited Time Return to Farming Order" is issued, the Grand Duke Regent doesn't want to think about it at all. If it wanted to, Alterac could send another 30,000 people to the front line. If it weren't for the fact that the Barov family, in order to stabilize people's hearts and consolidate their foundation, directly issued a movement restriction order and blocked the refugees at the foot of Alterac Mountain, Aiden would have lost dozens of people. Years of savings can fully support the Kingdom of Alterac for three years.
Although it was heartless, cruel and inhumane to think so, Alex really hoped that more people would die in battle.
Only gold coins that can buy food are called gold coins. What is the difference between gold coins that cannot be exchanged for food and stones in the wilderness?
For the idea of Greater Alterac, the Barov family is walking a tightrope.
How was he persuaded by that brat Carlos?
Alex smiled and shook his head. Seeing that the ink had dried, he put the edict away, put it in the safe, and prepared to accompany his family.
And the initiator of everything, Carlos Barov, was accepting the people's gratitude in the mountains northeast of Tarren Mill.
Logically speaking, as a king, Carlos should stay in the temporary military camp in Tarren Mill Town to command his army. However, the reality is that the tribe does not have that many troops to maintain a garrison in Tarren Mill. Carlos used a swift and windy advance to first block the return path of most of the orc regular troops in the Tarren Mill area. Then the army pushed forward and the knights cleared the way. The Tarren Mill area was almost plowed.
As an area developed by humans for nearly a thousand years, Tarren Mill does not have many places to hide troops. Even if one orc can fight three, but with a ten to one strength gap, the army sent by the tribe to Tarren Mir left Carlos with 2,711 orc corpses and 113 cannibals. Demonic remains.
After the army marched as fast as the wind and swept away the tribes and invaded like fire, Carlos thought he was doing well.
Xu Rulin was deploying guards at checkpoint intersections, and Carlos thought it was not a big problem.
The friendly forces were immobile, and Carlos felt that he should be able to delay as long as he could.
Feng Linhuoshan is indeed the only way to lead! Carlos sighed.
To regain Tarren Mill and speak his conscience, Carlos chose a very clever time. It is easy to seize land but difficult to defend it, and the orcs also understand this truth. Therefore, the tribe is only about 3,000 strong in Tarren Mill. The purpose is to interfere with your alliance's supply from here.
If Lothar's army and Orgrim's troops were not brewing a war, Carlos's wishful thinking would have turned fatal as long as the tribe sent a few more surprise troops from the mountainous area to wreak havoc after the farmers returned to their fields. A tight curse.
However, because the main force of the tribe was only contained in the north-central part of the Hillbrad Hills by Lothar, Orgrim would not divide his troops to take the initiative to attack as long as his mind was clear. This gave Carlos valuable opportunities to consolidate the defense line. time.
You put 30,000 people here. If there are not enough tribesmen, it will be useless. If there are too many tribesmen to deliver food, and the main battlefield is tight, the only suitable option is to be intimidating and not attack. Place an army outside Tarren Mill. Wander. As long as your Alterac army dares to move out, I will bypass you and attack your base.
Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, if you change homes, will you save them or not?
So when the spies sent Carlos the news that Lothar's envoy was coming, Carlos decisively used Bandit Escape.
The orcs are fierce and bad, and they are very fierce and powerful when fighting guerrillas in the mountains. When fighting outside, you must first calm down the inside, and let me suppress a bandit first.
I happened to hear that there was a village in the mountains that had persisted under the threat of orcs for more than a year. Finally, when Master Wang came, Carlos decided to go and see it in person while avoiding the envoys.
It's not that Carlos is selfish and has no regard for the overall situation, but that Carlos doesn't dare to attack aggressively without solving the food and grass problem.
If the daily consumption of garrison troops is one, the daily consumption of combat troops is at least three.
Although three months' supply of grain and fodder had been prepared, most of it was still piled in the granary in Oakland City and had not yet been transported. Even if it was Lothar, Carlos didn't intend to believe it all. How could his lifeline be in the hands of others when he didn't have any food left in his hands.
It's hard to refuse after seeing him, so he might as well just disappear.
So after arranging many matters, Carlos took his guards to the mountains to herd sheep. (To be continued.)
