Although he knew that this was a threat, Varian had to admit that even if this nobleman did not threaten him, this year's food would not last until the beginning of next spring.
He looked at the account book handed over by Bolvar and felt his blood pressure soar when he looked at the red numbers on it.
The investigation and inventory of pensions, stolen goods and taxes, and the burning of several granaries almost made him fall to the ground.
That's right, Varian, who would not frown even if he was killed on the battlefield, almost fell down when he looked at this account book.
Because this account book represents that in the country of Stormwind City, at least 10,000 people will starve to death, and then tens of thousands of people will be lost to other countries.
Most of them will die on the road.
This is not an invisible reality if he doesn't do something.
This is the time for the king to play his role. He should rebuke Fang Qiu, make wise and powerful judgments, and then solve these problems with minimal sacrifice.
But the fact is that he must follow what these nobles do. Only in this way can he get food and donations from these nobles, so that the kingdom's food crisis can be reduced.
The cost of this strategy is that more civilians will lose their land, more people will lose their property, and will have to become tenants and farm laborers, and countless social problems will break out together.
It's not that he couldn't think of other ways, such as dividing everyone's food equally and everyone eating the same amount of food. Of course, this difficulty can be easily overcome.
He even went a step further and sealed the warehouses of these bastards in front of him to ensure that he could find enough food for people.
But he couldn't, even if he knew that more than half of these numbers were probably made by these bastards for their own benefit. Real goblins and orcs made very few evils, but he could still grit his teeth and say that these were made by goblins.
of.
After all, only a greedy goblin would be so frantic, demanding not only money but his own life, and even setting the granary on fire!
He really hopes that the orcs can fight over now, so that these bastards will honestly put away their claws, give them what they want, and dare not corrupt. Moreover, with his ability, he can compete with the current human beings.
The orcs understand that after a battle, more than 2,000 people will die! Everyone will not say anything if they suffer a little bit.
After all, the orcs really want their lives!
But even the orcs are not so crazy as to burn the granary to the ground if they have a choice!
They also eat it themselves!
At least they don't waste food!
Although he was not qualified, he was a king after all. Varian quickly understood the whole story and saw clearly that these people were reaching for money. Then he was frightened by the orcs and called him back quickly. Then he still hoped
He fights orcs and hopes to make money in his name.
Goblins greedy?
No goblin is worthy of carrying shoes for these people!
He took a deep breath and planned to put the matter in the conference room to discuss, so that he would have some time to think about countermeasures and think about the bottom line of these bastards.
So he glanced at Li Ke helplessly, nodded apologetically to him, and walked towards the conference hall.
Li Ke was naturally treated as a transparent person by the nobles of Stormwind City, and he was happy to do so, so after the others left, he slowly walked towards the door.
But before he took a few steps, he saw the little pet he gave to Onyxia.
That Ursula.
"Well, Countess Katlana asked me to take you to the living room. She has something to give you..."
Ursula spoke carefully, and at the end, before anyone else noticed, she whispered -
"Owner."
Li Ke naturally followed him, wanting to know what Onyxia was doing, so when he came to the living room, he stroked Ursula's red hair while watching Onyxia leave him a message.
Things that came down.
"Ledger?"
He looked at the account book curiously, opened it, and found that it was not just an account book, but something more interesting, and there were even a few letters.
The ledger showed the whereabouts of the food and supplies they obtained during this operation. Li Ke didn't care much about the supplies. He just looked at the whereabouts of the food and made sure that his food was safely hidden in a hidden warehouse.
Instead of looking at the ledger, he looked at the roster and envelopes at the back.
Then, he couldn't help laughing.
Because it's very interesting.
This is the information about the users of the Shadow Flake that Onyxia and Ursula are running. There are at least thirty to forty thousand gold coins on the books. And those letters are also letters sent by those users.
Li Ke casually opened the thinnest letter, intending to see what was written.
"Honorable Countess Catalana Presto, savior of the realm, great advisor, Hand of the King, living key to the vault, feared, revered, revered, leader of the nobility.
Good day.
Although I really want to chat with you about my past and daily life. After all, three full days have passed since your last visit. However, my wife and daughter urgently need me to get straight to the point and get to the point.
I want to speak openly, so I have to save my words and remarks again and again to ensure that without being rude, I can tell you that we care about things, but they are not very urgent.
After all, you also know that I am a stingy person who talks little and is not good at writing letters, so I think they are worrying too much.
But before that, I have to praise the tofu you brought last time. It is quite amazing and delicious, especially after it is cut into small pieces and mixed with enough sugar, cream, honey, pepper and cardamom.
After adding mint, the taste is even more unforgettable..."
When Li Ke saw this, he was silent for a moment, silently took out the third piece of letter paper, and continued to read.
"...and that thing you mentioned last time, called pearl milk tea, I think chili is added..."
So he took out the fifth piece of paper and took a look at it. He was discussing drinks.
This bastard plans to add horse urine to the wine to increase the flavor.
So, whenever Li Ke opened the seventh piece of letter paper, he finally saw the subject of the letter.
"...The shadow flakes you mentioned, without it, our lives would be without any color. Oh, Holy Light, why are you so cruel? After showing us heaven, you are unwilling to give it to us.
We enter the stairway to heaven, dear, great countess, we are willing to dedicate everything we have, as long as we are not deprived of our title, so that we can continue to be decent, we are willing to do anything for those things!"
Li Ke then put down the letter. After taking a look at the owner of the envelope, he quickly opened the list and found that the name of the owner of the letter was very far back.
