It will have no effect other than forcing the nobles to do outrageous things." Queen Tiffin was also very helpless, "Our country has just been reborn and cannot withstand the storms. "

"Your queen is right. The nobles unite and don't pay. Excessive actions will only cause more serious consequences." Arthas said.

In fact, the Brotherhood of Masons cannot get the reward they deserve, and it is inseparable from Onyxia.

It was this black dragon princess who instructed behind the scenes that many nobles on her side refused to pay for the reconstruction of Stormwind City.

Varian, who could not get the support of the nobles, would naturally have a stalemate with the nobles. At that time, she only needed to add a little bit to help ignite the conflict between the three classes of king, noble, and ordinary citizens represented by stonemasons.

If her strategy is allowed to succeed, Stormwind City will immediately become precarious, because the mutual mistrust and hatred between different classes will soon evolve into a major change that will impact the entire country of Stormwind.

Onyxia's series of conspiracy schemes left Varian almost nowhere to start, and didn't know where to crack it.

To trouble the nobles?There are entrenched noble families everywhere in the kingdom, and now Varian is trying to find their troubles without the possibility of success. In the end, he will either burn himself or die.

Go to trouble with the Brotherhood of Masons?Not to mention that they should have been paid for rebuilding Stormwind. There are still a considerable number of people in the Brotherhood of Masons who are veterans who retired in the Second Orc War. Not paying them is tantamount to chilling the hearts of all the people.

Neither of these two is easy to provoke. King Varian can only mediate carefully, but sooner or later the arrears will have to be paid back. One day, the balance will be broken, and the entire kingdom will be overthrown. may.

This is the conspiracy of the countess, and it is also the most critical link in the whole plan.

Because Stormwind City did not have the capital to repay huge rewards, and even owed foreign debts to many human kingdoms, Varian's treasury had long been empty, and there was no money to fill this terrifying vacancy.

If you want to break this situation, you must take the weight that controls the balance of the balance from Onyxia, and you must find a wealthy country who is willing to help Stormwind to pay back the huge sum of money.

It is a pity that in the entire Eastern Kingdom, there are few human beings with such wealth. Even if they have the money, why should they use it to help a poor jingle kingdom?

"This is the situation, I really can't help it."

The aristocratic council collectively decided to owe wages. Although Varian and Tiffin strongly opposed it, they had little effect.

No way, Stormwind City is too poor now, the wealth is in the hands of the nobles, even if Varian hollowed out himself, he couldn't get so many gold coins.

Arthas pondered for a while, and asked, "How much does Stormwind owe the Brotherhood of Stonemasons?"

"Almost a million gold coins."

This is indeed a huge amount. You must know that Lordaeron, the richest man in the kingdom, can only pay taxes this year.And an ordinary family will not spend more than five gold coins a year.

Varian had no hope of paying back the money, but Alsace's next sentence made him almost think he had heard it wrong.

"Then, let me pay all the rewards to the Brotherhood of Stonemasons for you."

"How can this work?! Your Majesty Tenaris will not agree! I will not agree with you to do this for me!" Varian thought that Arthas would use Lordaeron's finances to pay for himself. On a huge debt.

Queen Tiffin on the side also nodded, "His Royal Highness Arthas, thank you for your kindness, but we already owe Lordaeron too much."

Arthas immediately understood that the couple wanted to be crooked, "Don't get me wrong, I am not using Lordaeron's finances, but my own money."

"Yourself?!" Varian's mouth was big enough to stuff a chocobo egg.

When did his brother become a super rich man?One million gold coins, the tax revenue of a kingdom for one year is so easy to say?

"You should have heard the name of [Black Gold Chamber of Commerce]?"

"Of course, that is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Eastern Kingdom. It is said that even the elves will trade with them." Varian nodded without hesitation, and then he seemed to understand something, "Wait, don't you want to say, this is Did you do it?"

Alsace smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is actually a subordinate department of the Privy Council, responsible for providing financial support to the entire Privy Council."

Varian’s expression can already be described as vacant. He only knew that Arthas was a prince, but he didn’t know that he was still a businessman. "When did you learn how to trade? It was Uncle Tenaris behind the scenes. you?"

"That's not true. My father didn't intervene in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and I don't really understand it either. He just barely provided the living expenses of my subordinates."

Alsace may indeed know a lot of business knowledge that does not belong to this world, but he thinks that he has no business talents. If he really wants to talk about the level of trade, he still has to find a professional in this world-goblin.360 Literature Network www.360wxwxs.com

So not long after the establishment of the Privy Council, Arthas sent someone to "invite" a goblin tycoon back. By the way, it should be the former tycoon. All his wealth has been squandered by his opponents. He is already witty for a huge sum of money that he won't have in a lifetime.

But he is a lucky guy. After getting Alsace's initial funding and some advanced economics knowledge, the goblin is now devoted to the prince, wishing to kneel and lick Alsace in order to obtain more ways to earn lovely gold coins.

The Chamber of Commerce under his control covers the entire continent, and even the Kalimdor continent on the other side of the sea, which is not well understood by humans, has the trading platform of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. The comeback goblin even ranks among the highest titles of their clan-Prince of Trade.

The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is also called the Black Gold Plutocrat by the goblins, and its wealth can kill any human kingdom with money.

However, this behemoth has nothing to do with Lordaeron on the surface. In fact, Arthas is the master of the Chamber of Commerce.

One million is really not a huge number for His Royal Highness.

At most, the goblin prince who loves money and fate will be distressed for more than ten or twenty years, but Arthas felt that the money was not used there, that is, it was a number, and it was his consideration to lend the money.

Varian, who got the affirmative answer from Arthas, hesitated again. He wasn't sure whether he was worthy of Alsace's assistance. "My brother, Stormwind cannot repay you this million. I can't accept it. "

"Don't worry, Varian, you are a wise monarch. If you consider your own people, the citizens of Stormwind will support you. I believe in my own vision and you."

Arthas took out two magic bills from the space package, one with one million gold coins and the other with half a million, and pushed them to Varian, "Take them, in the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce in Stormwind. The bank can cash it, and the extra 500,000 will be treated as a gift to Anduin."

"but……"

"It's nothing, Varian, I didn't give you this million for nothing. You can pay me back later, and I have something to ask you for help, so you don't owe me anything."

After the fierce ideological struggle, Varian still accepted Alsace's check, and he solemnly promised Alsace, "No matter what you intend to do for you, I will do my best."

"Don't be so nervous, Varian, but I have to see the president of the Brotherhood of Stonemason, um... he seems to be called Edwin VanCleef?"

...

Van Cleef was a little uneasy. He didn't know why His Majesty the King suddenly summoned him. Is it because he really didn't want to pay his salary?So summon yourself and kill him secretly?

Although he still had a wife and a newborn daughter, he didn't hesitate to put on his coat when he thought of the difficult lives of other brothers in the union, and hurried to the side hall of Stormwind Fortress.

The king of Stormwind, Varian has been waiting there for a long time. The moment Van Cleef entered the side hall, the royal guards closed the heavy door, and the two guards stood guard at the door with their halberds.

The dull sound seemed to hit Van Cleef's heart, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Looking at the battle, he might be more violent today. I hope His Majesty will not anger his wife and children.

But he didn't plan to just sit and wait. Van Cleef decided that no matter what happened next, he must tell the young king the pros and cons. Even if he died, he would fight for the rights and interests of the brothers of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons. And protect the city of Stormwind that you love.

"Edwin, I heard that you worked for MI7 for a while before becoming an engineer?" Varian's voice was not rushed, making it hard to hear what he was thinking.

Van Cleef's heart trembled, this is to check his own origin, is it possible that His Majesty Wrynn listened to the slander and thought that he was using his previous spy experience to mess up the kingdom?

"His Majesty, I did work in MI7, but now I am just an ordinary engineer."

"Ordinary, you are not ordinary at all. Can ordinary engineers build Stormwind City so well? Your abilities are extraordinary!"

Van Cleef, who knew how bad he was, was silent, thinking about how to answer Varian's words next.

"Come here, Edwin, don't be so restrained, come sit next to me." Varian patted an empty seat beside him.

Van Cleef looked at the general long sword leaning on the armrest of Varian's chair, wondering if he would pass by and be chopped by Varian with a sword, but he didn't dare to follow the king's order, so he could only walk obediently. Go and sit down.

"Actually, it's not that I want to see you today. It's someone else who wants to see you. I'm just talking to you by the way."

Will your Majesty's next sentence be to send me to see the late king?Van Cleef was frightened, thinking that he might be cut off before he could finish speaking.

"Come on, you have been wronged these months." Varian stretched out his hand and picked up something.

Van Cleef immediately got up and knelt in front of Varian on one knee, and said in the fastest voice, "Your Majesty can kill me, but you have to think about the other members of the Brotherhood of Stonemason! They represent the ordinary people of Stormwind. They deserted their farmland to build Stormwind City without wages. Many of them will starve to death in their families!"
