The sound of horses' hooves clicking on the stone road sounds particularly pleasant.
Li De held the reins with one hand and stroked the shiny and smooth neck hair of the golden-maned horse with the other hand, and said happily when he saw Hunter Xin.
"That guy Bores is really hemorrhaging money this time. He's not even willing to sell a BMW like this."
Lothar also had a smile on his face. His experiences since the Orc War had allowed him to fully understand the true face of those nobles.
"In this operation against the noble landowners, a total of 300,000 gold coins were taken away from them. Among them, Bores was the most greedy. He spent 150,000 gold coins to hoard goods."
Lothar's words shocked Li De. He was able to take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins in cash. He really didn't know how many generations of wealth he had accumulated.
"Bores mobilized all his cash and even borrowed 50,000 gold coins from Greg. Now that the yarn was all in his hands, he had to sell his BMW and antiques in order to pay back the money.
This guy is not completely lost. In the face of pleasure and wealth, he chose to stay in a foreign country. As for this golden-maned horse, he begged us to buy it for 10,000 gold coins.
To be honest, this is a huge advantage. If it were normal times, even 20,000 gold coins might not be able to buy it."
Li De couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard the price.
You must know that the price of an ordinary war horse is only 100 gold coins, and even a high-quality BMW horse is only 1,000 gold coins. Just such a golden mane horse is almost equivalent to a sixth-class battleship.
However, although the price is outrageous, this top-end BMW is indeed worthy of such a price.
Even though this horse is standing here obediently, letting Li De caress it, its strength is frightening. Brad has been taking care of it these days. Once it gets angry, Brad will
The elite warrior couldn't hold it, and was tossed around like a leather bag.
Moreover, a well-trained stallion is the most reliable partner of a warrior. No matter what kind of enemy is ahead, it will charge without hesitation.
What's even more precious is that every BMW has a magic stable bound to it, which is a magic artifact similar to a magic package, but with a larger space and capable of allowing living creatures to survive inside.
Magical products of this level must be the masterpieces of Dalaran. Although the mages have mastered alchemy, they also do not refuse gold coins from other princes and nobles.
A magic stable like this one for a golden-maned horse would conservatively cost 5,000 gold coins. If it weren't for a magic stable that would be tied to the BMW for life, Bores would definitely not be so kind as to sell the horse and the stable for 10,000 gold coins.
Already.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Top-level BMWs are the proudest. They will never live in second-hand stables. Even if they force other BMWs to be accommodated, the only thing they will get in the end is BMWs going on a hunger strike to die.
Such a BMW that can accompany you everywhere and more than double your combat effectiveness is definitely worth 20,000 gold coins to a heroic warrior. Being with a guy like Bores is really humiliating!
Thinking of this, Li De couldn't help but feel a little moved. He wanted to buy this golden-maned horse.
"Marshal, what do you plan to do with this BMW?"
When Li De said this, he felt a little uneasy. Lothar was also a heroic warrior, not to mention the heroic knight Turalyon.
It was a rare occasion when Li De was so moved, Lothar didn't tease him and directly stated his inner plan.
"We have discussed it, and this golden-maned horse will be given to you as a gift."
"How can this work? Even if I only spend 10,000 gold coins to buy it."
Li De subconsciously refused. The 10,000 gold coins used to buy the horse were money from the Stormwind Kingdom's treasury.
"Listen to me first. This is approved by His Highness Varian. He is giving it to you in the name of the Kingdom of Stormwind. BMW only waits for heroes. Giving it to you is what we all hope for."
Industrial products were sold at prices that were higher than in the traditional production era, leaving the Kingdom of Stormwind's treasury with hundreds of thousands more gold coins out of thin air. The Protector of the Vast Sea and Kul Tiras also received dividends of more than 10,000.
In the face of this huge profit, this golden-maned horse is actually just a small adjustment after the victory.
After thinking about this, Li De immediately thanked him and accepted it happily. At this time, Brad came over and held a riding crop less than fifty centimeters long in his hands.
"Guardian, this is its magic stable, and now you are its master."
Taking the riding whip in his hand, Li De saw that the handle was inlaid with a circle of gems that flowed magical energy. This was the power of the magic stable. Even people who did not know magic could use it through these gems.
He shook the riding whip gently, which attracted the attention of the golden-maned horse. It looked at Li De, as if judging whether this man was qualified to be his master.
Li De grabbed a handful of beans. The golden-maned horse lowered its head slightly and took the first bite of the beans fed by Li De. It recognized its new owner.
This made Li De even more happy and couldn't help stroking its back.
"Li De, give it a name."
Lothar suggested this, and Li De pondered for a moment, looking at the new red sun in the distance. The clouds holding up the sun were reflected in the glow, which was as golden as the red body of the BMW.
"Zhaoxia! Its name is Zhaoxia!"
Li De said with great certainty.
"A new era is before us, our era!"
Everyone was deeply moved by the meaning and praised the name as a good choice.
Li De, who was in high spirits, jumped on his horse and ran three times around the North County Monastery while waving his whip. Zhaoxia was more than twice as fast as an ordinary war horse, galloping like the wind, which was truly unstoppable.
Finally, it stopped in front of the monastery again. Li De suddenly pulled the reins, and the BMW Zhaoxia came forward, accompanied by Li De's long roar.
Zhaoxia also looked very excited. As a BMW, it should belong to the vast world, but in its past life, it could only be enjoyed by nobles and could not stretch out while wandering among stables.
Neither Duke Stormsong nor Bores had the ability to control it to run so freely. Even when Bores injured someone while driving it, it was because Bores's weak arms could not control it at all.
of horsepower.
After trying the horse, Li De did not rush to put Zhaoxia into the magic stable. He just patted it and signaled it to take a leisurely walk nearby. After that, Li De and the others had to discuss business.
After this yarn incident, Bores was completely scared. Unknown enemies are always the most terrifying, and he didn't know how much energy stood behind Lothar and the others.
Since the other party can use yarn to wipe out their cash flow, they may continue to slaughter them in other industries. Therefore, after this big loss, Bores finally gave in to Lothar and the others.
A small group of nobles headed by Bores, who had occupied land and turned farmers into tenants, took the initiative to negotiate with Lothar and agreed to give up the previously occupied land. However, they still needed some compensation from Stormwind City for their efforts in construction.
of.
And when Li De heard that the land Bores had previously occupied also included Goldsmith Town, he couldn't help but sneered.
"This guy is really good at picking places. He dares to invade the hub that connects the large land in the eastern part of Elwynn Forest. He really wants money or his life."
Fortunately, the land in Goldshire was once again under the jurisdiction of Stormwind City. Under Lothar's personal intervention, police officers had been sent to the area to help Farley reopen his ancestral hotel.
There is also the local shopkeeper Remi. Because of Bores, he could not even return home before and could only live in the temporary market in the old city. Now he should go back to help rebuild the industrial and commercial order.
What is worth noting is that in the process of the nobles occupying land, the nobles of Greg's family did not participate in it!
Even when it comes to hoarding yarn, the nobles of this line are very low-key. Greg didn't even hoard a bundle of yarn. On the contrary, he earned some interest by lending money to Bores.
.
Although it is not clear what the reason was that made the wily Greg choose to protect himself wisely, his keen sense of smell is amazing enough.
Although Lothar does not want to have a conflict with Gregor's family in the short term. However, if Stormwind City is to be rebuilt in the future, conflict is still inevitable.
Because rebuilding Stormwind City requires a large number of people. The Gregor family mainly controls the farms, pastures, and plantations in the Dusk Forest in the western wilderness. In these farms, the Gregor family hides a large number of people.
population.
Recently, Varian offered to move to the North County Monastery, where he could better listen to the teachings of Archbishop Faol, and where he could be closer to his subjects.
This young prince really wants to participate in the reconstruction of the common people, instead of living in a distant old city, separated from the common people by a deep river valley.
Although the matter of rebuilding Stormwind City sounds complicated, in fact the ideas are gradually becoming clearer.
A large amount of start-up capital was taken out from the Bores family of nobles, and the next step was to mobilize all the people who stayed in Lordaeron and were hidden by the nobles.
As for some nobles who are stubborn and uncooperative, under the new production relations and organizational model, they are just bones in the grave.
After briefly talking about this, Li De only invited Lothar, Dai Lin and Archbishop Fao. Next, only four of them are qualified to attend:
The human race has officially established diplomatic relations with the dragons!
