- As a new human empire, Arathor, if you want to become a member of its ruling class, there are usually only two channels.
The first one is naturally military merit.
By demonstrating his bravery and commanding abilities, he gained the appreciation of Emperor Thoradin, and was eventually canonized as a noble, possessing a territory of his own.
Because in this barbaric era, only powerful enough lords can protect the people from various external threats.
As for the second channel, it is the tribal leaders and elders who take the initiative to join us.
As the "heroes" who took the initiative to hand over their power to avoid war, they also received their due rewards and became members of the nobility.
But compared with the military aristocrats in front of them, the latter clearly bear the traces of the tribal system and have been excluded from the core decision-making circle of the empire from the beginning.
With the strong character of Emperor Thoradin, he will not allow anyone to hinder his reform of human society, especially the remaining conservative forces.
Therefore, he constantly promotes the status of military aristocrats who represent the new era, weakens the influence of those conservative forces, and marginalizes them.
Unfortunately, as the founder and leader of the first-generation Barov family, Al is such a guy who has a baron title and territory, but has no chance to participate in political decision-making.
In fact, like most noble surnames, the name Barov was originally just the name of his own tribe.
Later, after becoming a noble, he changed his surname to remember his origin.
Within the Arathor Empire, ordinary civilians may not even have a proper name, let alone a surname.
As for the noble class, they either use the original tribal name as their surname, or use their own fiefdom as their surname.
In short, all the famous royal families in the late history of Azeroth, one by one, basically came from "mud-legged" families, and were no more "noble" than ordinary people.
But as land, wealth and power later continued to be concentrated in the hands of a few upper-class nobles, the result was the emergence of the argument of "born noble".
The nobles desperately advocated how ancient their families were and how noble their bloodlines were, in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of their rule and status.
But now, the Barov family, which will be extremely wealthy in the future, is still just a small baron, with a total population of less than a thousand households, two knights and a private army of thirty people.
Yes!
You read that right!
The first unified empire, Arathor, which was desperately advocated by later human history books, was so backward and poor.
A dignified baron is basically no different from the village chief of a slightly larger village.
Al Barov could not even build a fortress-like town made of wood and mud like Allen. He could only use wooden fences to roughly surround the residential area to block the beasts that hunt at night. Si minus 7 5zhongwen.com Si
As for leaving the residential area to work in the farmland, civilians can only rely on the farm tools in their hands, such as sickles, pitchforks and the like to protect themselves.
And look forward to not encountering terrifying predators like velociraptors and giant spiders.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that he will be eaten alive.
The nobles in the early days of the empire were far less able to taste delicious food, wear luxurious and comfortable clothes, live in exquisite houses and castles, and enjoy the service of dozens or even dozens of professional servants than their descendants could.
¡°On the contrary, at this stage, they have far more responsibilities and obligations than the privileges they receive.
?? If nothing else, just to defend one's territory and people requires a lot of financial resources and energy.
Some nobles even went into battle together with their whole families in order to repel the invading beasts or monsters, and died tragically in the end.
?? Exploration and expansion are never easy things.
It means blood and killing, and it means facing natural and man-made disasters including nature.
"Compared with those who have died, Al Barov is undoubtedly lucky.
Because although his territory is a little wild, it is close to one of the only two dukes in the empire.
Although the two sides do not have much contact on weekdays, during the previous operation to clean up the beasts and monsters in the territory, several troll strongholds on the edge of his territory were destroyed.
The largest village among them has hundreds of people.
"If these trolls take advantage of the cover of night to attack the Barov family's residence,?Understanding what the other party meant, he smiled and nodded: "I see. It seems that you are really lucky enough to have discovered a gold mine in your territory. If nothing else happens, in ten or twenty years, these gold Your net worth will skyrocket, and you can even buy everything.¡±
Al Barov smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sorry, I may not be able to wait until that time. If you don't mind, I would like to use this gold mine in exchange for you."
"Oh? What do you want to exchange?" Allen put down the gold bar in his hand and asked with interest.
To be honest, he is still a little interested in the founder of the Barov family.
After all, judging from the current situation and the location of the territory, he really couldn't imagine how such a family could develop to control large areas of rich land such as Brill, Tarren Mill, Keldaron, and Southsea Town, and even be able to compete with them. A super noble comparable to the royal family of the Kingdom of Alterac.
? ? Could it be that thanks to the decline of the Arathor Empire, the nobles began to expand towards the north, and the Barov family seized the golden opportunity?
Or maybe the Barov family did the same thing as the Habsburg family in Europe, desperately completing the expansion and annexation of their territories through marriage?
Because the history of Azeroth before the Orc War is too vague, it is far more difficult than imagined to figure out the truth of some details.
"I want to exchange gold mines for a hundred soldiers, and then take the initiative to capture more troll slaves, and then sell slaves in exchange for enough food, livestock, weapons and armor. And the only people with such strength nearby are Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
It must be said that Al Barov is a very courageous person, and his political and business sense is also extremely keen. He immediately realized the intention of the decree.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ªAs human nobles begin to use trolls on a large scale to perform arduous physical labor, they will soon discover that this kind of humanoid creature, which has powerful regenerative capabilities and is very difficult to die, is simply born to be a slave.
Because ordinary humans may be injured or even die due to excessive fatigue, but trolls will not.
And trolls have never been picky about their food, whether it is the meat of raptors, giant spiders, fishmen or other intelligent creatures, they can even eat the corpses of their own kind.
It¡¯s very, very easy to make a living!
So it won¡¯t be long before the demand for troll slaves in each territory will surge, and the price will naturally rise accordingly.
At this time, spending a lot of money to form a professional slave-catching team will definitely make a fortune from it.
Of course, the premise is that you don¡¯t accidentally run into a large army of trolls and end up being eaten by them.
After realizing what the founder of the Barov family wanted to do, Allen suddenly showed a playful smile and gave a straightforward affirmative answer: "No problem! In principle, I agree to this transaction. Not only that, there was no sales in the early stage Before opening, I will purchase all the trolls you capture, whether they are adults, old people, women, or children, and will give you priority in selling weapons and armor. But there is one thing you must pay special attention to, that is, do not get close to the west border. Otherwise I guarantee you will die very, very badly!"
"Thank you very much! Don't worry, I am not a fool. I know how difficult the forest trolls in the Amani Empire are to deal with. And my appetite is not that big. The troll tribes in the empire are enough to make a lot of money. .¡±
When saying these words, Al Barov¡¯s eyes flashed with undisguised excitement.
He will not invest all the pitiful materials on hand in the construction and development of the territory like those stubborn nobles.
Quite the opposite!
He wants to use the gold mine, which is not yet of much value, in exchange for some resources that can be used immediately, and then develop and grow rapidly like a snowball. 牺如 zhuishukan.com 牺如
When the next time the emperor summons his vassals to fight against the enemy, the Barov family will be able to mobilize enough troops to win their own honor on the battlefield, obtain a higher noble title, and a wider area of ??land. Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi
¡°Obviously, the word greed has been deeply imprinted in the blood of the Barov family from the beginning, and will continue until it eventually dies.
With the signing of a legally binding contract, Al Barov immediately obtained a hundred-man phalanx from Allen, consisting of light cavalry, heavy infantry and crossbowmen.
Allen also obtained ownership of the gold mine and handed it over to Lyle for mining, melting all the gold into gold bricks and storing them in the basement.
Although this thing is not very useful in human society at the moment, you can buy a lot of good things in the high elf kingdom in the north
