The first thing Lothar did after taking office was to establish his prestige.
Although the more than 2,000 troops he brought earlier have shocked the entire Alterac through the lives of the Syndicate and the ogres. But this is not enough. The Alterac people must understand that Lothar and the previous Piri
What's different about Nord?
Lothar promised the civilians of Alterac that there would be sufficient supplies in the city within a week.
For this reason, the first thing he did was to convict Barov, Faculest and a series of other nobles who participated in the rebellion, and to seize the property of the Perenold royal family.
Barov fled to Keldaron, and Falkurest fled to Stromgarde, but their local houses and land were still there, and there were still supplies in their cellars that they had not had time to take away.
Although Alterac was in chaos before, the hungry people were unable to form an organization. There were also some nobles in Alterac who were watching. The civilians who had been oppressed for thousands of years still did not have the courage to riot and resist under such hardship.
But in front of Lothar's army, the majesty of the Alterac nobles was nothing.
When they saw the locked doors being knocked open, the hungry people suddenly discovered that these barriers that they had not dared to cross before were actually as fragile as a piece of paper.
However, dividing the property of these convicted nobles would only solve the problem for a short time. If you take out the things hidden in the cellar and divide them, what should you do after eating?
If there is no progress, you will die sooner or later.
The land of the nobles was divided and some of the original tenants became homesteaders, but this still did not completely solve the problem.
There is too little arable land in Alterac. Only the low-lying, gentle mesas in the south, east and north can produce food, not to mention that there are still large areas of land that have been stolen by bandits, ogres, snow monsters and have not yet appeared.
Occupied by the Frostwolf Clan.
Among them, the Frostwolf clan is a hunting tribe. They only occupy the barren snowfields in the southern valley and only hunt in the surrounding areas. But even so, no Alterac people dare to farm there due to fear of orc activities nearby.
It is important to eliminate external threats and return wasteland to cultivation, but new solutions must be found in the short term.
In the west of Alterac, in the lowlands near Lake Lordamre, although there is not much land, it can still be cultivated, as evidenced by the fact that Dalende cultivated a farm there before.
And more importantly, guarding the huge Lake Lordamre, how can you worry about being hungry?
As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat less and rely on water to eat. Alterac is adjacent to the largest lake in the kingdom's mainland. There is no reason not to develop it.
In the past, Alterac did not develop this place because the surrounding countries were suppressing Alterac in the pre-Alliance era and tried their best to limit the development of Alterac, especially Dalaran, which is also on the east coast of the lake, and the lake.
For the sake of their own safety, Lordaeron on the North Shore does not allow Alterac to have frequent activities here.
But things are different now. The seven human nations have established an alliance, and their internal relations are much closer. As long as Lothar makes things clear, Lordaeron and Dalaran will agree to develop Lake Lordaemir.
In addition, the coalition forces formed by various countries will also arrive in Alterac. The paladins of the Silver Hand, together with some people from the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse, will be sent to each team to eliminate the ogres and let Ultra
Traffic in Lanc is restored to safety.
Just doing this is not enough. The roads in the surrounding areas must be widened and maintained. In the future, Alterac will become the most important transportation hub.
As long as there is trade within the alliance, Alterac is the place that must pass through. In this way, Alterac's economy will not only recover, but start to take off.
Therefore, Alterac became busy, with military and construction running in parallel. Lothar was extremely busy, and of course the busiest one was Li De.
When Lothar hired Li De as his consultant, he actually entered the decision-making level of Alterac and took Lothar with him to build Alterac.
Of course, Li De's move to build Alterac was not a voluntary contribution. Lothar granted Li De the land that originally belonged to the Barov family for him to build an argali sheep farm there.
When Dailin and Dailin returned to the Kingdom Continent from Kalimdor, Li De took a batch of ore samples with him.
Not long ago, Magni Bronzebeard was invited to Stormwind City to discuss establishing a dialogue channel with the Red Dragon. During this period, Li De showed Magni the batch of ore samples.
The reserves of various mineral deposits in Tanaris are quite astonishing, and the quality is quite good. After looking at the batch of samples, Magni seemed very excited.
The dwarves have spent a long time in Khaz Modan, and during this long time, the dwarves have also encountered their own problems, which is the shortage of ore resources.
It's hard to tell which one the dwarves prefer now, the joy of forging or the thrill of digging.
The ancestors of the dwarves are the earth spirits created by the Titans. After the Titan guardians came to Azeroth, they used magical rocks to shape the bodies of the earth spirits.
The earth spirits obey the guardian's orders, dig tunnels underground, and build grand underground cities and military fortresses for the guardian. It can be said that their destiny is to dig.
In the long battle between the Titan Guardians and the Ancient Gods, the earth spirits suffered the curse of flesh and blood from the ancient gods. A group of earth spirits sleeping underground evolved into flesh and blood. Those flesh and blood earth spirits are the ancestors of today's dwarves.
.
The flesh-and-blood dwarves continue their ancient mission and continue to dig tunnels and build cities under Khaz Modan. But unlike their former earth spirits, the flesh-and-blood dwarves have emotions.
During the excavation, they found more valuable ores, and forging these ores allowed them to understand what happiness was. From that moment on, the dwarf tradition changed from simple digging to mining and forging.
But there are countless mineral deposits in Khaz Modan, and the dwarves continue to grow from generation to generation. In the long run, no matter how much the mineral deposits are, there will always be a day when they are exhausted.
As Khaz Modan's mineral deposits depleted, Ironforge's city grew larger and larger.
Ironforge, where the Bronzebeard dwarves live, was excavated and built inside the snowy mountains of Khaz Modan. With the cooperation with the human race, this mysterious city has gradually been opened to some humans. But what people can only see is the building.
On the ground level.
But in fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg that outsiders can see. Below that is a huge underground world beyond people’s imagination!
The shortage of ore has already made some dwarves in Ironforge anxious, and the Stormpike clan is a good example.
This clan has a separate history, and in the ancient War of the Three Hammers, they followed the Bronzebeard dwarves. After the War of the Three Hammers, the Stormpike dwarves lived together in Ironforge.
It wasn't until about ten years ago that the shortage of ore resources began to appear, and these Stormpike dwarves expressed their hope to move out of Ironforge.
They were wise and did not choose to stay in Ironforge and compete with the Bronzebeard dwarves for the only resources, but decided to open up a new settlement.
After ten years of hard work, these dwarves gradually crossed the northern wetlands and found a mountain range on the northern continent that was suitable for their lives and whose climate was similar to Khaz Modan.
Yes, that mountain range is also Alterac.
The Stormpike clan plans to locate their new settlement in the southern part of the Alterac Mountains, but Li De has other plans for these new neighbors.
The southern part of Alterac in the future will undoubtedly be very lively.
In short, Li De successfully reached an agreement with Magni Bronzebeard, exchanging the ore from the Protector of the Vast Sea for Khaz Modan's long-haired argali.
Of course, Magni also proposed that the trading volume must be controlled, because for the dwarves, long-haired argali is also a very precious resource, and they will not sell military sheep that can serve as mounts.
Li De had no objection to this. After all, his original plan was to introduce sheep breeds. If he could successfully breed a large number of sheep in Alterac, he would not have to travel thousands of miles to buy them from Khaz Modan.
There are also argali sheep in Alterac, but the sheep here are much smaller, but fortunately they have a much docile temperament. If the local argali sheep can successfully hybridize with the Khaz Modan argali sheep, they can serve as protectors of the vast sea in the future.
The textile industry provides a steady stream of raw materials.
Just a few days after Li De enclosed the former Barov fiefdom, sheep breeds were also sent to Ironforge, with a total of two hundred argali sheep. Then Li De captured another four hundred locally.
Local sheep are raised separately at first, and then they are gradually mixed.
Although sheep may look cute on the outside, these herbivores with cloven hooves are actually very aggressive. If they are not raised properly, you will see a group of dead sheep the next day.
A breeding farm of 600 sheep is not considered small in scale, but it only accounts for a few tenths of the Barov fiefdom.
Although it will not be able to bring profits to Li De in the short term, it has begun to create value for Alterac, because this breeding farm provides a certain amount of employment for the local area.
Alterac is now in dire straits, and there is a serious lack of arable land, resulting in a large number of unemployed people in the country. Li De provides employment opportunities for some Alterac people, although the salary is not much, and even part of the salary is replaced by food.
, but even this makes many Alterac people grateful.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the construction task: a transnational breeding farm (this facility can be upgraded). Reward 200 productivity points."
Li De has received a lot of reminders like this recently, either completing diplomatic missions, construction missions, or even launching special missions. After all, he contributed to the normalization of Alterac and saved many people's lives.
Of course, Li De, who now has massive productivity points, has long looked down on this productivity. Compared with the breeding farms that have not yet produced profits, Li De cares more about the people in Alterac.
