Chapter 587 If you dont make money, youre a bastard
Sarlayan is busy traveling around the world all day long, and he doesn't have much time to return to Quel'Thalas throughout the year, so he is not sensitive enough to the gossip in his hometown.
The high elves live a prosperous life, and most of the hard work can be done by arcane golems.
And because the nobles blocked the channels for civilians to rise, a large number of unskilled people had nothing to do all day long.
Then we can only pay attention to gossip news and pass the time.
During Kael'thas's coronation celebration banquet, Sylvanas and Sharlay performed a dance together.
Due to her poor dancing skills, Sharlayan's feet were almost swollen by Sylvanas's step, and the nobles present mockingly nicknamed her the "foot-trampling lady."
Sylvanas was very dissatisfied with this obviously derogatory nickname. If it hadn't happened to coincide with the expedition to Shandalar, she would have called out all the nobles who were behind it.
With the departure of Sylvanas, the fun that was once so popular gradually faded from the minds of the people who enjoyed it.
Because of Sarlayan's business advice, under the leadership of Vereesa, who stayed behind in the territory, the Windrunner family built a lot of construction on the seaside of their territory.
According to Vereesa, she plans to develop this beach, including some offshore islands, into a tourist attraction.
Quel'Thalas has been closed to the outside world for 3,000 years, and the economic income brought by the flow of people is still not fully understood.
Without exception, the nobles in the southern part of Yongsong Forest chose to wait and see, just to have fun and see what tricks Windrunner could do.
Even looking at the entire Azeroth, the high elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas is one of the few wealthy kingdoms.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil.
Quel'Thalas has been closed to the outside world for 3,000 years, and the countries in the Eastern Kingdom are very curious about the legendary high elves' country.
After Kael'thas ordered the kingdom to be reopened, a large number of tourists from all over the world flocked to Quel'Thalas.
The Windrunner family, who had made sufficient preparations, received the first wave of traffic bonuses without any surprise, and their mouths were full of oil.
For a while, the long coastline of the Windrunner territory was crowded with tourists from all over the world, and even the small overseas islands were crowded with people.
Under Sharlayan's advance guidance, the people of the Windrunner family suppressed the arrogance derived from their DNA, adhered to a business-like spirit, and provided meticulous services to tourists of all races.
The gentle attitude of these service employees greatly satisfied the vanity of tourists, and they proudly showed off their experiences after returning to their hometowns.
"Look! The arrogant high elves always treat us with courtesy. Have you country bumpkins ever experienced this?"
People in other territories initially complained about the low profile of the Windrunner family in hospitality, thinking that they had tarnished the honor of the high elves and bowed to those lower creatures.
When the waiters who were taking a break came to neighboring villages and towns waving gold coins to spend money, the neighbors in the southern part of the forest woke up from a dream.
This is all money! As long as you perform your attitude better, you can get a lot of gold coins, why not?
When it comes to Quel'Thalas, most foreigners will first think of the extremely luxurious life of the high elven nobles.
However, in fact, there are very few people in Quel'Thalas who can truly indulge in life and wealth without any scruples. They are either wealthy businessmen or noble officials.
The ordinary people of Quel'Thalas have a much better life than the people of other countries. At least they have enough food and clothing.
But that's all.
Among the high elven commoners who grew up listening to the luxurious legends of nobles, who doesn’t hope that they can also live a life of luxury and luxury?
However, the channels for rising are firmly controlled by the nobles. Even if they want to do business, they cannot come up with enough original capital, and they are not sure whether the products they choose will make a profit or a loss.
In contrast, the service staff hired by the Windrunner family only need to lower their posture to provide services to foreign tourists, and they can get a lot of tips from those wealthy tourists, and they can also get an extra sum from the host.
Basic salary.
Their income far exceeds that of the idle people in the neighboring territory who can only wait for the state to pay benefits. Naturally, this has attracted the jealousy of many people, and various strange rumors about the Windrunner family have spread.
Some people retold what happened not long ago and took advantage of the fact that the parties involved were not in Quel'Thalas to fabricate erotic stories between Sylvanas and Sharlayan.
Sharlayan, Valeera and others have been busy with business since returning to Quel'Thalas and have no time to listen to the weird rumors among the people.
After finally repelling Lordaeron's privateer fleet, Sarlayan planned to take advantage of the time to recover from his injuries to deal with territorial affairs and meet the noble neighbors who were jealous of the Windrunner family's income.
Vereesa has been staying in her hometown for the past two years to take care of territorial affairs, and is already familiar with the many versions of stories circulating in the southern part of the forest.
She knew that there was no pink aura between her second sister and Sarlayan, and she was just joking to bring them closer together to ease the unfamiliarity after not seeing each other for a long time, but she did not expect that Sarlayan would have such a big reaction.
"Uh~"
Vereesa noticed the erect eyebrows of Valeera and Stellagosa, and then realized that she had stepped on a thunderbolt.
"Hey~ I'm sorry, I was just joking."
Vereesa stuck out her tongue playfully and apologized apologetically to Valeera and Little Star, who looked ugly.
"However, the various versions of the story about Sarlayan and my second sister are indeed widely circulated. You'd better take the time to pay attention and guide them to avoid being swayed by public opinion in the future."
Valeela forced a smile on her lips: "I will take the time to verify it. I want to see who is making up the rumors behind the scenes."
Stellagosa also sneered with a cold face: "It's probably those nobles who have pinkeye. Valeera, write down their names. Such people can't even hope to get our help."
Sarlayan shrugged helplessly: "It seems that today is not a good time to talk about cooperation."
Vereesa said nonchalantly: "It is really time to screen the partners for cooperation. Some people are really outrageous."
"It's just like what you said before, win over some people and suppress others, and you will eventually be able to find the right partners."
Sarlayan nodded: "Valeela, you should investigate first, and then prepare the next step after getting the results."
…
It is now 11 years since the Dark Portal, and more than a year has passed since the last time I met Vereesa.
A year ago, although the people of the Windrunner family were not living in poverty, they had nothing to do with being wealthy.
After Vereesa's operation, the Windrunner Territory has become a famous tourist attraction far and wide, and many people from China even sneak over to enjoy it.
For more than a year, Vereesa, as the head of the family, worked hard from dawn to dusk, and finally stabilized the family's new business.
Of course, the results are also very gratifying. Windrunner's family property has doubled, and even Lelessa, who does not pursue material comfort, has a lot of money.
A business that brings in such money will definitely attract the covetous attention of envious people.
With Vereesa, a legendary ranger, in charge, not many people dare to come directly to stir up trouble, but there are quite a few who engage in small tricks secretly.
Vereesa couldn't always focus on taking care of family affairs. Kael'thas, who was in short supply of such a powerful warrior, would not let her sit idle in his territory.
In view of this, Vereesa adopted Sarlayan's suggestion, while guarding the territory and accumulating primitive wealth, she also cultivated trustworthy stewards and let them gradually take over the management of the Windrunner family's industry.
Eleven years after entering the Black Gate, Vereesa is now ready to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Those who tried to cause trouble had their claws cut off by her. Leleza even returned to her hometown in person three months ago and delivered a speech.
With the Silver Moon Councilor expressing his attitude, those jealous guys no longer dare to take action at will.
Ranger General Sylvanas, as the supreme commander of the ranger forces, cannot be stationed on overseas borders for a long time.
Although the situation in Northrend is still undercurrent, it is finally becoming stable on the surface. Kael'thas intends to use Vereesa in exchange for Sylvanas.
"Northrend..."
Talking about this matter, Vereesa asked curiously: "The people of Quel'Thalas only know that our army won the battle in Northrend and regained an ancient territory that originally belonged to the Highborne Elves.
The specific situation is not clear.”
"What happened in that cold land? My mother said that Sylvanas almost lost her face during the war?"
Sarlayan sighed with some regret: "This...it's a long story."
