Chapter 89 The Road to Development
(Stormwind Heart zZ's buddy, after the destruction of Lordaeron, would it be good to go to Stormwind City to be Anduin's imperial chef?) )
Now that Patrick has agreed, it is enough to arrange specific things separately, and his father's right-hand man, Meraris, will help the family deal with various things properly, and with the secret agreement with Terenus, his Cabolon family can quickly gain strength in the Silver Moon Council.
As for the possibility that those executive directors of the council are secretly manipulating in the purchase of munitions, Patrick also thought about the possibility, and when the Cabolon family is developing rapidly, the restrictions and means of the council will inevitably follow.
In the past, the majority of the financial income of the Cabolon family was the country's military purchases, no matter what potions, enchantments, etc., just do it vigorously, as long as there is no quality problem, anyway, in the end, it will be sold to the state, and there is no need to worry about sales.
If you don't need to develop yourself or your family, then it's the same as those hedonistic elves, you don't have to think about anything except eating, drinking, and playing every day, so it's obvious that Silver Moon City actually has at least ordinary elves who are looking forward to working hard, but they have no resources, no support, and can only drown in the vast sea of people in the end.
Now, Terenus's proposal undoubtedly gave Patrick a new path of development, and he could start accumulating gold and materials without relying on the kingdom internally, obtain food and medicine from the human side, and the raw materials for production and manufacturing became feasible, and there were many tough battles to be fought in the future, so he didn't have to worry about running out of use.
However, Patrick specifically explained to Melaris that magic-related materials could not be harvested. Quel'Salas is a magical kingdom, and even the weapons used by an ordinary soldier are standard armor and weapons, all enchanted by magicians.
After some elves get weapons and armor, they will also rely on their own magic knowledge to add some equipment inscriptions, magic runes and other spell buffs, processing and manufacturing are all done by themselves, and there is no need for the government to pay for them.
Switching to Lordaeron, is it possible? Human soldiers are indeed fully armoured, and they also wear heavy helmets on their heads, if all of them are enchanted, will Lordaeron's mages be enough? Did King Terenus have that much money? Do you need to consume materials to grab?
As soon as the deal with Lordaeron was opened, Patrick developed around the Forest of Life and the entire Sun Temple, accumulating his original capital little by little. As for Silvermoon City, Patrick doesn't want to get involved for the time being, because once he enters the whirlpool of politics, he can no longer be alone, and he also has to face the calculations and conspiracies of the five executive directors of the council, so Patrick will not be able to take care of other things.
Thinking about the Song Dynasty in the previous life, the special Jin people and the Mongols have all fought outside the imperial city, and those ministers still have to fight for a wave of party first, so it is strange that this special thing does not perish. As a nobleman of Quel'Thalas, an honorary nobleman who received canonization from the kingdom, and with his own fiefdom, Patrick must not let the officials appointed under his rule allow them to have partisanship.
Now the goal is very clear, and the most important thing is to own strength and accumulate family foundation. As for the struggle with the parliament, it is better to put it aside, anyway, Nao Zu will teach those executive directors a truth----- if they fall behind, they will be beaten.
As for the ceremony of Lordaeron's crown prince, Patrick was only symbolic like the other ambassadors, and it would be nice to be a mascot, and the newborn Arthas was baptized by Archbishop Alonthos in the eyes of everyone, and then Terenus announced that Alsace-Mineshir was the heir to the throne.
The sky danced and adorned the entire royal city of Lordaeron, and the bells fluttered to announce this sacred moment, that there was a successor to the kingdom, and that the people of Lordaeron below were cheering, and the name of Arthas-Minethil was whispered.
The old king had a smile on his face, and he was even more smiling when he looked at Patrick, Terenus felt that if the Minethil family could cooperate with Patrick for a long time in the future, with the life span of the elf of 3000-4000, it could protect the entire Minecil family for dozens of generations, which was simply a permanent shelter for humans.
After the ceremony, it was the most popular carnival for ordinary people, where countless civilians and soldiers drank freely, or sang and danced to celebrate the newborn prince, peaceful but welcoming, prosperous but not noisy.
The King's ministers and Mélaris made a preliminary plan, and the detailed cooperation plan would be discussed in detail by the Cabolon family after Patrick's return to Quel'Thalas.
Everyone returned to Silvermoon City, and the old butler went directly back to the family station, and discussed with his father Phil to discuss the specific cooperation with Lordaeron, Patrick believed that his father would also seize this God-given opportunity. Idonis and Quirintis have also returned to the Sun Temple, and upon their return, Patrick will begin his own deployment.
Patrick went to the king and briefed him on the matter of the envoy, and as for the specific content, he elaborated on the report on his work. At the same time, it was also learned that the king had sent some additional assistants to Dalaran to help Prince Kael'thas with him, led by Luminas Imprint and Astalo, who had a relationship with him.
"Patrick, is the mission going well?" King Anastarian still had the same standardized smile on his face.
"It should be the same as before, not much has changed." Patrick also replied vaguely, not counting the secret conversation between Terenus and Patrick, there is indeed nothing special, it is just a formality.
"The renovation plan for the Tower of the Sun that you applied for last time has been approved." His Majesty said coldly, with the same standardized smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Temple of the Sun has served on the front lines for thousands of years and needs a major overhaul." Patrick knew that the kingdom wanted to know his intentions, and he answered directly.
Back in the Temple of the Sun, which is becoming more and more bustling and crowded, Arthas has been born, and it is time for the High Elves to begin to shine again.
On the balcony of the Mage's Tower, Quirlintis and the others stood behind Patrick, a group of people looking at the endless stream of elves below, there were merchants selling goods, friends talking to each other, and rangers enjoying the peace of the sun when they were bored.
"Quirintis, how many years have you been in the Sun Temple?"
"Chief Patrick, almost 80 years." Quirintis's words made Patrick speechless for an instant, and those people in the council are really ruthless, they haven't been promoted for 80 years.
Patrick looked at the bustling street market below, and now the entire Temple of the Sun had grown into a small town. "It's rarely so bustling here."
"Yes, it was you who came to make the Temple of the Sun bustling and lively." Quirintis was respectful and didn't know what Patrick's plans were.
"I want to make this a small town, so there needs a chief administrative officer in the town hall who knows this place very well, would you like to be it?" Patrick spoke his mind.
"This ...... This...... Yes, yes. Quirintis almost thought he had misheard, but looking at Patrick's eyes, he was right. Chief Administrative Officer This is simply incredible for Quirintis, those gate valves in Silvermoon City, which one is not cronyism, and the power of all resources must be in the hands of his own clan, Patrick is the first time Quirintis has encountered it.
And the other important members of the Tower of Sunlight were in an uproar, Councilor Patrick was not the kind of cronyistic nobleman of Silvermoon City, and each of us had a chance to come out.
"The first team of the city hall must be carefully selected, of course, I will also arrange a few assistants for you, and the other duties will be determined by yourself, you need to be responsible for the taxation of the entire Sun Temple, land planning, co-ordination, etc."
"At the same time, as the chief administrative officer of the city hall, you will also serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the decision-making council of the Tower of Daylight, and assist me in formulating future development plans."
"Obey orders."
Quirlintis is indeed a talent, this kind of person is exactly what Patrick needs, to let the half-son of the family take the position, in less than half a year, the entire Sun Temple will be dead, this is definitely not what Patrick wants.
