To make iron, you have to be strong. If Alterac wants to make its own voice, it cannot rely solely on the war aura of Carlos.
Therefore, production and construction have become the common goal of old and new Alterac people.
The invasion of the orcs failed to destroy the human social order, but it shook the foundation of the rule of the noble lords.
But Carlos has no idea of flying a thousand miles, not even a little bit. In this society where magic is prosperous and martial arts are strong, why should the strong talk about equality with you, because of faith or love?
Therefore, to enhance national strength, we cannot rely on the rational distribution of social materials, but can only rely on innovation in production technology.
Fortunately, humans in the world of Azeroth are far more receptive to new things than Carlos expected.
The Construction Corps, which was originally expected to cause great turmoil, did not cause much turmoil and backlash.
Because Alex, the Grand Duke Regent, sees things very clearly.
Isn't it just a name change?
Turned the earl into a regiment commander.
Turned the Marquis into the leader.
The large and small enfeoffments were just assigned military ranks, and the medicine was not changed.
With the Grand Duke Regent intervening, the new and old nobles of Alterac also found it meaningless to talk nonsense with His Majesty the King, who had the biggest fist, over this matter. Coupled with the return of Alterac's elite from the southern expedition, everyone understood one thing - they were not convinced and were holding back.
In addition, the royal family divides the land anyway, so joining the Construction Corps seems to make no difference.
Until you suffer real suffering, let's do this.
So, because of the entanglement of interests, this matter was actually implemented like this.
Carlos himself felt incredible.
Agricultural reclamation has been carried out by humans for hundreds of years, and Anhador and Hilbrad are indeed good places. With the power of collective labor, large tracts of cultivated land have been reclaimed. At the same time, due to the return of a large number of troops, Carlos could not raise the rewards to reward all the soldiers at once, so he could only deal with it with a lot of medals and a few gold coins.
In order to prevent the troops from being idle, they were directly pulled out to plow the fields.
Don't get me wrong, it's not about plowing fields to grow crops, but about directly clearing out wild monsters with large corps and setting up safe zones manually.
Alterac's unique terrain showed its superiority at this time.
In Keldaron, the traditional power of the Barov family, everything is calm.
Anhador, after completing the handover of Briel with the Menethil family, already belongs to Kalos. The lords of Hearthglen have not yet completed their own pioneering, and they are at peace with Alterac.
Alterac City, plateau snow ridges, virgin forests, nothing like other countries.
The only one with a problem was Hillblade.
Alterac currently has a population of more than half a million, of which 200,000 are Hillbrad refugees. The resettlement of this population is a big problem. In addition, the nobles of Gilneas, Lordaeron and Stromgarde are secretly tampering with them. The situation is really unstable.
The most troublesome thing is the imprisoned orcs.
In order to resist the war, the people of Hillblade paid the price of blood and tears. As the area most severely damaged by the war, Hillblade was truly in dire straits.
However, the scattered orcs fled into the mountains and forests, and they have not yet been wiped out. Is there still news of scattered orcs attacking villages?
This brought a large population to Brental and large towns such as Southshore.
The result is that wasteland remains wasteland, and places that were originally villages and towns are overwhelmed.
This was contrary to the development blueprint designed by Carlos.
What is the use of land that cannot generate income? Is it a good display?
That's right, I won't give it to you even if there is long grass!
Carlos is not a god, nor does he have the superpower to control people's hearts. He knows there is someone behind him, but there is nothing he can do about it.
But if I can’t eat it, don’t even think about it!
So the king of Alterac waved his hand and used the blue star beautiful demon's reclamation order. Not only would those who were willing to go to Anhador and Alterac to reclaim the wasteland not be taxed, but the government would also compensate them with gold coins for the amount of wasteland they reclaimed.
Hillblade's land can be left idle, but people cannot be left idle. Let's allocate part of it first.
Then, they manually drove up the land prices around Brental and spread rumors that Brental was going to build a city. They deceived them for a few months first.
Finally, they resorted to passing vouchers to restrict population movement.
Yin me, come on, hurt each other!
There will inevitably be a baby boom after the war, but babies only eat and do not work. Except for the Kingdom of Lordaeron, countries are beginning to have a shortage of youth labor. Carlos relied on the experience of his predecessors to circle a wave of people first, and was naturally adopted. Others plot.
Time is the best medicine to solve problems.
Either problem A is being dragged on and lost.
Either problem a is dragged on and becomes problem b.
Either problem A is dragged on and becomes problem A.
Anyway, the original problem disappeared.
The issue of handling the orc prisoners of war was dragged from A to A.
The problem arose.
Half a year has just passed by, and before I know it, summer is almost here.
With the semi-military management, Alterac's vast land and sparse population, and the contradiction between man and land were replaced by backward productivity and the people's huge material needs.
Reclamation continues to be carried out efficiently, making Alterac's ruling class extremely tolerant of the king.
It is expected to be good, do whatever you like, we are listening.
The crops in the fields and the goods in the market have made the people no longer want to cause trouble. After all, the war has just gone away, and people still have to be content.
Carlos's ambitious Alterac transformation plan was only one-third successful, that is, he succeeded in turning Alterac City into a half-factory, half-handicraft manufacturing center.
The cooperation with Eagle Nest Mountain and the assembly line-style blast furnace ironmaking greatly stimulated Alterac's economy.
The dwarves were indeed born blacksmiths. Although they had different industries than Carlos had in mind, the model of using blast furnaces to smelt iron and then forging it manually still labeled metal products as Alterac's specialty.
It is precisely because of this that the reclamation of Alterac proceeds so smoothly.
Moreover, the export of a large amount of ironware also greatly relieved Carlos's depleted pockets.
So regarding the king's decision to return to Keldaron for summer vacation, although the administrative officials looked constipated, no one raised any objections. Didn't the Grand Duke Regent say nothing?
In this way, Carlos's mother, Janis, brought her young daughter to Alterac City to see her husband. His sister returned to Dalaran to continue her studies, and his two younger brothers were sent to Southsea Town to learn the navigation trade. Belongs to Carlos and Calia.
Arrogant and extravagant, here I come!
After working so hard for so long, Carlos was enjoying a royal holiday for the first time. Carlos felt so happy.
However, sometimes three times and sometimes four times are always short-lived.
Less than two weeks after arriving at the lake center castle of Keldaron, Brother Bald appeared next to Carlos who was fishing by the lake with three superstition letters.
Three major things happened in the league.
First, Turalyon turned to Terenas for help, believing that the time had come for a decisive battle.
The second incident was that Gilneas was experiencing domestic instability, and Genn Greymane openly quarreled with the powerful domestic lords at the banquet.
The third thing is that Terenas is going to send invitations to the alliance bosses to hold another conference.
"Very well, you did a very good job."
After Carlos read it, he couldn't help but praise Brother Bald.
This is what intelligence work is like, one step ahead and one step ahead.
Although everyone will know this news in a few days, passive response and active layout are not the same concept at all.
Carlos was a little regretful that his rare vacation was about to go to waste.
