Chapter Three Hundred and Sixth Lordaeron
In a blink of an eye, it was March 26, 2019.
After two months of renovation, Lordaeron had recovered a little bit of anger.
After destroying the undead, the Tirisfalin land, which has been raining all year round, finally returned to its normal climate.
What is the most important thing about Lordaeron at this time? This year's spring plowing.
Farming! It’s easy to say but hard to do.
Vanessa didn't know how to plant, what to plant, and when to start planting. Although the nobles were a little fucked, she still needed the help of these nobles in order to maintain the production and life of the country.
For a whole day, Vanessa listened to the report of the Minister of Agriculture, and then neutralized the opinions of several parties and made some supplements.
She once thought about whether she could use feces to fertilize, but the mage of Dalaran said no! There is also a certain amount of undead power in the feces. Although this undead power is very weak and harmless to humans, it will still cause certain damage to the land. The best way is to burn it!
She also mentioned whether wheat can be cooked twice a year. The Minister of Agriculture suggested that she should not be so optimistic. Lordaeron's land was tortured. Even with the efforts of druids and tree people to restore it, it would still take some time to restore it as before.
Vanessa can only set the 26-year farming plan of Blackmen to be ripe every year. If the harvest is good, you can consider trying ripe every two years and three years next year.
Farmers need tools to farm, and she cannot control the farmers in the lord's fiefdom. However, there are still very few fiefdoms in the entire area of Lordaeron. Eighty percent of the land is in the hands of the royal family, and nearly 90% of the civilians need the royal family to solve their food problems.
She has supplies in her hands, but how to distribute them and how to mobilize the enthusiasm of civilians for work needs to be considered.
If you send it for free, how many times will it be sent? That is wrong. An effective cycle mechanism must be established.
Vanessa sets up department stores in the large residential areas of Breil, Death Knox and Nanhai Town! Let the civilians with extra money buy it.
At the same time, it also provides lending services, borrowing grain and tools to civilians, and paying them back at a discount next year.
The loan scale is not large, there is no way. There are too few people who know words under their responsibilities and even fewer people know how to arithmetic. Vanessa cannot hire a large number of goblins, so she can only conduct trial operations in a few large villages and towns.
Civilians cannot all go to farm, and after the seeds are planted, they will have nothing to do.
Vanessa mobilized all the personnel and carried out collective production.
Digging canals, burying garbage deep, building villages and towns, digging stones, feeding horses and raising pigs, hunting and mining. Since she is very busy, others can't be idle.
The entire Lordaeron does not allow an idle person to appear, and everyone has to be busy.
As a reward for civilian work, she printed a lot of bills, such as food coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, etc., which are distributed according to their personal workload every day. Civilians can rely on the bills to buy the supplies they need in department stores in various places.
These materials are not sold to the outside world. If you want the materials, you must have bills, but the bills are sold to the outside world.
She took the opportunity to store the precious metals in the hands of civilians and prepare for Lordaeron to issue coins.
Paper money is impossible. No one believes in paper money these days, and anti-counterfeiting and other things cannot be done at all. Even if it is made with the black technology of the dwarf, it will be cracked by the goblin the next day. Then Vanessa will find that a bag of Lordaeron banknotes may be able to buy a piece of bread, so it must be metal coins.
Coins are the specialty of the Brotherhood, but they were privately minted back then. Whether it was gold, silver or copper coins, the coins they minted were very impurities. The Brotherhood could melt the two coins of the Storm Kingdom and mint them into four, causing great inflation to the Storm Kingdom's trading market. Of course, this cannot be done now.
She asked the coins to be of high quality, durable and beautiful patterns. For this reason, she specially found a dwarf craftsman and commissioned the other party to invent a steam coin minting machine.
Vanessa is planning to issue a portion of copper coins before the end of this year, which is the currency used by ordinary civilians. The currency value itself is relatively low and the value is not very high when imitated. She wants to see the effect after issuance and then decide on the minting of silver coins and gold coins.
The affairs of agriculture, coins, transportation, and population were mixed together, making her dizzy.
As Lordaeron's ruling structure was slowly built, the census was regarded as the top priority by Vanessa.
The civilians of Tyr's Hand, the civilians of Nanhai Town, the civilians of the western wilderness, the civilians of Theramore and the civilians who fled due to the civil war in Gilness, and now the land of Lordaeron is slowly regaining its vitality.
The East-West Plagueland has not been restored yet and is not within the statistical scope.
The existing area of Lordaeron has more than 280,000 civilians, but the army still remains at 40,000, and the total population of the country exceeds 320,000.
Military generals have voices to expand their troops, but they are all suppressed by Vanessa. The country must have an army, not an army must have a country. Now the ratio of soldiers to civilians is high enough. No matter how many there are, it is useless. Can the number of human soldiers exceed that of the Lich King? Since there are not many, there is no need to expand the army on a large scale.
Houses, canals, farmlands, mills, blacksmiths and church of the Holy Light, and the druids' oak courtyards have all been built one by one. This year will be harder, and Lordaeron will definitely enter a healthy state of income and expenditure in the coming year.
In early March, Vanessa returned to Stormwind.
Due to Lordaeron's restoration and the destruction of the Forgotten, the national defense pressure of the Storm Kingdom was instantly reduced by half. To put it darker, with Lordaeron in the north, the southern countries like them would undoubtedly be much safer.
When the undead comes again, I will beat you Lordaeron first. What are our Storm Kingdom worried about?
Now the Storm Kingdom has only left two legions in the Arashi Highland to help the Araso coalition forces there to resist the Forsaken named Polluters, and the remaining troops have returned to their country.
The national defense pressure was greatly reduced, and Stormwind City was about to be repaired, and expenditures in all aspects were greatly reduced. Vanessa's good friend and the fat minister in charge of finance were completely relieved, and the entire kingdom showed a strange prosperity.
Taking into account several factors, the Grand Duke of Bervar Ftagen took back his daughter, Teria from Kurtiras.
The little girl was just ten years old. She was trained by Kul Tiras as an apprentice knight. She could ride horses and use weapons. At this time, she looked at the citizens on both sides of the road and looked around and felt very fresh.
Boval invited some friends and nobles, and under the witness of everyone, he gave his surname to Teria in front of the renovated Cathedral of Holy Light. Once he died one day, Miss Teria Fortagen would automatically inherit Boval's title and fiefdom.
