Evil will not deceive you

Arthas must die, he must die vigorously, and he must squeeze out the last drop of value before he dies.

Li Ke knows this very well, so the top priority now is not to continue to doubt himself and waste time, but to figure out another thing.

Because time is very tight, he doesn't have much time to hesitate and self-reflect. Even without the birth of his previous ideas, he would have suppressed his doubts and hesitations within a day, let alone being as 'enlightened' now. The state of consciousness is down.

So he summoned all his allies and men.

"How's the material acquisition going?"

Looking at Nefarian who used magic images to attend the meeting, Li Ke asked directly. This black dragon prince had recently become the agent of Deathwing. As for Deathwing himself, Li Ke didn't know where he had gone.

"Well, it went relatively smoothly. Six hundred thousand of the one million gold coins have been spent, half of which was used to buy food. It is enough for your territory to not have to worry about food problems for two years."

Nefarian looked at Li Ke speechlessly. He felt that Li Ke disliked him for not being busy enough.

After his father settled the matter, all the rest was left to him, and what could he do? Run before and after.

In the end, he still had to be asked by Li Ke, a bastard.

Hearing this figure, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Although the food of 300,000 gold coins was definitely not good food, it was enough to support his breeding industry.

However, there is a high probability that Nefarian will not be able to persist for two years as Nefarian said. After all, the two years Nefarian mentioned is to grow food and eat at the same time, so he can persist for two years.

Because his industry also requires a large amount of food to make sugar and various ethanols, or alcohol.

Moreover, he does not have so many warehouses that can hold so much food. Although he is already working urgently, the food warehouse is not that simple, and it will take time to work quickly.

How about building an instant noodle industry?

Li Ke couldn't help but think of the operations of a certain Great Cold Kingdom.

In order to get rid of its surplus food and hold that country hostage, the Mold Country directly forced the import of a large amount of wheat and various wheat products, destroying the basic agriculture of Japan and the Great Cold Country in one fell swoop.

In order to get rid of these surplus wheat products, they almost forcibly promoted pasta. Therefore, instant noodles, which can be stored for a long time, naturally became their favorite. Therefore, instant noodles, something invented by the Japanese, came about by accident. has become their representative delicacy...

But it has to be said that they did solve the problem of food storage and ensured rations.

It’s time for National Health Service to sing “Thank you, because you warm the four seasons.”

It doesn’t seem impossible?

Li Ke suddenly realized this.

Although instant noodles, compressed biscuits, canned goods and the like are very ugly and unhealthy, they are undoubtedly highly nutritious items for Azeroth, and many people in Azeroth are resistant to them.

It’s just the seasoning…

Where the hell am I going to get enough spices and recipes?

If instant noodles are not delicious, no one will buy it.

Li Ke felt the headache again, and felt more and more that he could not be the only one to promote industrialization. He must have more helpers, more active helpers who would promote industrialization even if they died.

To be precise, it is to create more people who can profit from industrialization.

That is -

capital.

A new and terrifying class in this world.

But there's a problem.

How can he ensure that these merchants will not burn before he controls the situation in Azeroth?

This is really a problem.

Businessmen have no conscience.

But Li Ke thought about it and put this issue aside. Now is not the time to organize new rentiers. How to swallow up the legacy of Lordaeron is the most important thing.

So, he asked the question that concerned him most.

"What's going on with Terenas?"

"I don't know, my father is usually in charge."

"so?"

"So I don't know, and you don't want me to fail because I don't understand the situation, right?"

Li Ke took a deep breath. Nefarian was right. He did not understand the situation, so he asked again.

"What about the attitudes of the other lords?"

"I don't know. You don't want me to fail because I don't understand the situation."

Nefarian shrugged and joked, working for Li Ke, why do you work so hard? Wouldn't it be nice if he had that time to tease Ragnaros, his nemesis? After all, no matter how hard he tried, Onyxia, who was already in the shape of Li Ke, would not give him a ride or lay dragon eggs for him, nor would Li Ke's property be distributed to him.

effort?

Work hard!

Finished dealing with it.

"…………"

Li Ke resisted the urge to strangle Nefarian and looked at Grayson.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to those lords in person, but because of his current reputation, identity and status in the human world, as well as various circumstances, it is impossible to communicate with those lords in person, and they will not communicate with him.

Otherwise, he would never leave this matter to the black dragon who 'doesn't know how expensive money is'.

But fortunately, Grayson, a reliable fear devil, never let him down. He bowed slightly and then spoke.

"According to the spies placed by the legion at Terenas, reports from various places have been reported to him. I believe we will be unable to receive the goods soon. Even one-tenth of the remaining goods can be shipped smoothly. , it’s already a blessing, the most likely thing is that the remaining 400,000 yuan payment will neither be shipped nor refunded.”

Having said this, Grayson looked at Li Ke.

"Should we cut our losses? Pull our funds back?"

He vaguely scratched his neck, indicating that if Li Ke wanted to, he could get the money back.

After all, goblins are all over Azeroth, right?

"No, leave the money there, even if Terenas keeps it, it doesn't matter. Nefarian."

Li Ke looked into Nefarian's eyes.

"I don't care what you think, but prepare more money for me and enough gold! Prepare as much as you want for me! Give it all to me as payment!"

His previous plan was too gentle, too benevolent, so——

"Let those lords sell me every last grain of food from their subjects!"

The more money Terenas and the nobles take from him now, the more they will beg him in a low voice. Li Ke has seen how little control Terenas has over the lower-level nobles and lords. If the benefits are average, he can control them, but what about ten times the benefits? !

When Alsace came, he really wanted to know whether those gold coins could satisfy his hunger, whether they could arm civilians into soldiers, and allow them to survive Alsace's blade!

Arthas doesn't like gold coins!

So, now, he wants everyone in Lordaeron to know that he, Li Ke, is rich! Very rich! And it's good to get money from his hands!

Then, when Alsace came back with the natural disaster army, he ate everything with profit!

He won't let Arthas sweep all of Lordaeron in one go like in the original novel!

He will support Lordaeron in the fight against Arthas until the last drop of Lordaeron's blood is drained by him!

Even if more people die!

"why is that?"

Onyxia didn't understand, and Li Ke didn't intend to explain it clearly to her. He just stretched out his clenched fist and slowly opened it.

Because of interests.

"Only interests can bring order in this world!"

His order!
