He only wanted the superstructure of Stormwind City to be destroyed, not that most of the ordinary people in Stormwind City would starve to death.
Everyone is dead, how can he exploit them?
Exploiting stones and demons?
Li Ke looked at Varian, he was very determined to resolve the fight.
The dead in Lordaeron help to disintegrate classes, but the dead in Stormwind stop him from recruiting workers.
He can't always use demons and draconians.
"But... how should we ensure that someone needs your products? And Li Ke, we can't guarantee that the businessmen over there won't do something wrong all the time. And how to control these nobles?"
Varian couldn't help but frown. He still felt that Li Ke was unreliable.
Li Ke directly said the name.
"Alsace."
Li Ke pressed his hand on the map in front of Varian.
"I will do business with him in the name of helping to build a factory. As long as he is willing to help us, then I can help him build his own factory. After all, what we want is to keep these nobles fed temporarily, not forever.
"
Li Ke stretched out his hand and pressed it on the map.
"The grudges between me and them can also be resolved in this process. The most important thing is that you can also benefit from it, which can greatly alleviate your financial pressure. Because these things do not go through my channels.
They are not my goods. You can get taxes from them. These are the assets of the royal family and you can use them at will. And once the trade is successfully built, it can mobilize the economy of Stormwind City and allow the various things in the hands of farmers to be sold.
Selling price. And the whole process will only last about a year. After all, I can build those factories so easily. I think His Highness Alsace will only be faster than me."
He looked at Varian and said the words that were all lies very seriously.
"That's it..."
Varian was very hesitant, because this was tantamount to using Lordaeron's money to support them, which was a bit difficult for him to accept, but looking at the picture Li Ke painted, and what Onyxia said
He thought about the plans and account books he took out for a while, and then sighed.
Then he looked at Li Ke with a serious face.
"I don't quite understand what you are doing, Li Ke. I have never been very capable in this area, so I won't ask about other things. I only want to know one thing."
Varian looked at Li Ke, and the faintly shining holy light on Li Ke made him feel at ease.
It's not that he couldn't see some things that could threaten him, but he looked at Li Ke's holy light and Li Ke's eyes, smiled, and then asked his own question.
"Are you really doing it for those civilians?"
Li Ke looked into Varian's eyes and was silent for a moment before answering, but he did not answer Varian directly.
"Among a hundred girls, there might be one who is a peerless beauty."
Looking at the sunshine in the distance, and recalling in his mind those women who had become rough and unattractive due to all kinds of labor, Li Ke chuckled.
"I like stunning beauties very much, the kind that can't be done, but I like them even more when they lie on my body with a smile."
When Varian heard this, he sneered and couldn't help but punch Li Ke.
"You bastard, Sir Jennifer trusts you so much."
Only when common people have hope for life and can support their children will they raise their children and not drown any extra girls.
If you want to increase the number of beauties, you must increase the number of women in the total population.
To make a peerless beauty lie on his body with a smile, money is essential, but if it is a murderous demon, few beauties can truly smile.
"I love her, but it doesn't conflict with my liking for beauties. And this hobby is better than liking men, isn't it? At least when I fight side by side with you, you don't have to sleep in armor."
Li Ke joked, he knew that Varian had actually looked past many things, and the only thing he cared about was the Wrynn family's awareness of protecting civilians, and his own family.
"That's true. It's a pity that there aren't many opportunities for you and me to fight side by side."
Varian smiled and shook his head. He knew that with Onyxia taking the lead, this matter was bound to succeed, because Onyxia spoke much better than he did.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Li Ke shrugged. He still needed Varian to lead his people to resist the Burning Legion. How could there not be an opportunity to fight side by side?
Varian did not comment, just sat back on his throne, took out a Shadow Slice from the side, and fiddled with it in his hands, not wanting to use it for a long time.
The whole thing was very expensive, so expensive that even after he quit drinking, he couldn't even afford a few.
So he hesitated whether to use it today as planned or to use the whole thing the next time he was in a bad mood, but he didn't forget to get down to business.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. As for the money that should be given to me, half of it will go into the treasury and the other half will be sent to the Holy Light Monastery. Last year, I was supposed to repair it for Benedictus
The money from the orphanage is finally rich now."
Onyxia and Li Ke nodded, but they said it was the two of them doing the work, but in fact it was Onyxia and Presto doing the work.
And he...
Naturally, we went to see what was going to happen next, the joyous scene of the plummeting grain merchants.
After all, although doing business with Alsace is a temporary supplementary plan, the plan to explode grain prices has been prepared for a long time.
So, he looked at Varian and smiled again.
"Besides, Your Majesty Varian, aren't you curious about how much food the Western Wilderness can send you?"
Varian, who was playing with the Shadow Slice, was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he looked at Onyxia, subconsciously stretched out a finger, and took it from the hand of the attendant beside the throne.
, took out the jar with small bread sticks, and wanted to hand it to Onyxia, who had never spoken human words to him.
This is something they prepared for them to discuss things when they are hungry. After all, the discussion may not be completed in an hour or two. Although Varian is down and out, he is still a king and has everything he should have.
.
Onyxia just smiled, and then pulled out a one-handed sword from her back... I mean, she showed it to Varian.
"Not many, just this one."
Varian was shocked. He almost slipped off the throne and almost dropped the jar in his hand.
This amount was truly something he had never dreamed of.
"real?"
Onyxia spread her hands.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
And at the same time——
"Food prices can be raised again. Everyone, word has spread that goblins and orcs plundered our granary. Our accounts are not only even, but we can also make a huge profit."
Looking at the embarrassed civilians below, the old noble who had previously asked Varian to send troops to the goblins raised his glass and saluted the nobles attending the meeting.
