Lord Harland.

After Richard returned to the territory, he immediately gave Lost a long vacation and asked him to visit his relatives in the Kingdom of Ryan.

Richard fulfilled his promise, which moved Lost very much. He knelt down on one knee, saluted Richard with a salute of allegiance, and left Harland Territory neatly.

This trip to the Lion Kingdom is more than three thousand kilometers round trip.

Farewell this time, there may not be another chance to meet again in the future.

After Lost left, Claude took over as the commander of the Eighth Squadron.

When Li Cha returned to the territory, it was already early May, and the territory had already completed spring plowing.

In recent years, the well-cultivated paddy fields in the territory have been reclaimed, and hectares of paddy fields have been reclaimed in the territory of square kilometers, which is less than one percent of the total territory.

The yield of paddy fields is very good. In normal years, the yield can reach jin per mu, and in bumper harvest years, it will be higher. hectares of paddy fields can produce tons of grain.

Nine thousand tons of grain are enough to feed 25,000 people in the territory for a year.

In addition to paddy fields, the territory has also reclaimed hectares of dry land.

The Grant Kingdom is close to the coast, and the Harland Territory is less than 600 kilometers from the sea. The precipitation here is very abundant, reaching 800- mm every year.

Even in dry fields, there is actually no shortage of water.

The yield of dry fields is only 120 kilograms per mu, and hectares of farmland can produce tons of grain.

If this batch of grain is sold, it will be worth about gold coins.

The development of the current Harland territory has been on the right track.

Relying on the steel and liquor business, he has a net income of gold coins every month.

The miscellaneous income from brown sugar, honey, royal jelly, etc. adds up to fifteen hundred gold coins every year.

Bricks, cement, charcoal, coke and other materials are now mainly supplied to the territory. After completing Baron Sharp's order, the kiln factory has no profit.

Now the brown sugar plantation has planted brown sugar trees. The brown sugar trees planted last year have grown a lot taller, and the brown sugar production can be doubled this year.

According to Li Cha's estimation, the output of brown sugar this year can reach three tons, and calculated according to the output value, it can reach 240 gold coins a year.

As time goes by, the production of brown sugar is still increasing rapidly. When the brown sugar plantations are filled with brown sugar trees, it will not be a problem to produce more than 2,000 tons.

At that time, even if the price is reduced by ten times, there will still be huge profits.

There are tens of millions of people in Northern Xinjiang, even if the population with spending power is only 200,000 to 300,000, the vast majority of the consuming population are military families, grassroots officials, World of Warcraft hunters, high-level mercenaries plus some craftsmen with higher technical levels. A handful of operatic theater actors.

Brown sugar is currently priced at one silver coin per kilogram, and even those with spending power can only taste a little occasionally.

If you want to expand the market size, price reduction has become inevitable.

Because there are very few nobles who can afford high prices. There are more than a hundred hereditary barons in northern Xinjiang, plus high-level bureaucrats, and the total population is only a few thousand.

Even if a market with a population of several thousand is monopolized, how much money can be made?

Moreover, it has to compete with honey, and some nobles prefer honey.

The lower level of the market has spread to 200,000 to 300,000 consumers. If the Northern Xinjiang market is done well, it is not a problem to earn 30,000 gold coins a year.

However, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to develop to the south of the Grant Kingdom.

There are several provinces in the southern part of the kingdom, and both duchies have a large beekeeping industry.

This is not a world of free trade. It is simply impossible to sell competitive products within one's sphere of influence.

But the profit of gold coins is already very impressive.

Moreover, the Harland territory can develop its own market. If there are hundreds of thousands of consumers in the territory, even if the income from brown sugar is reduced by ten times, the annual profit will increase to 50,000 or 60,000 gold coins.

Although the output value of the brown sugar business is very small now, it actually has the same potential as the steel market.

Although the profits of liquor are high, the brewing process is too simple. Even if Richard strictly guards against it, it will be difficult to monopolize the process for too long.

After all, northern Xinjiang already has a grain wine brewing process, and the grain fermentation technology is mature. Liquor can be brewed by just adding a distillation process.

It is estimated that competitors will appear within a few years.

This year, the territory's finances are very good. Not counting the gold coins delivered by Jerram in the winter, it is estimated that there will be a lot of income left.

Seeing that there has been peace for two years, Richard began to prepare for war.

After Li Cha bought slaves this year, he created a new No. Squadron.

Counting the Eighth Squadron, the Haaland family already has eight infantry squadrons in their hands, with more than 1,200 professional soldiers.

This year Richard is planning to establish a cavalry squadron.

Now the Harland family already has iron horned horses, and with the addition of the Soros family's five horses, it is barely half the size of a squadron of Warcraft cavalry.

In addition, a group of professional military officers have been trained in the territory, and there is barely a talent reserve.

To set up a small-scale monster cavalry, the conditions have already been met.

Warcraft cavalry is the strongest fighting force in the human kingdom.

The reason why the orc empire is afraid of the human kingdom and dare not launch an all-out war is because of the monster cavalry of the major kingdoms.

There are many types of Warcraft cavalry in various countries. The most powerful Holy Glory Empire has a bipedal flying dragon cavalry regiment with a strength of 180 people.

Every Flying Dragon Knight is a mid-level professional or above, the junior officers are all high-level, and each of the several commanders of the Flying Dragon Cavalry Regiment is a legend.

This cavalry regiment of less than two hundred men can easily defeat any of Grant's main regiments.

You must know that the two-legged flying dragon cavalry regiment is an air superiority army, which can attack any town or army of the opponent.

He has a powerful bipedal flying dragon cavalry in his hand, which is enough to block a thousand with one, and its deterrence is stronger than an army of 200,000.

In addition to the two-legged dragon cavalry, the human kingdom also has various flying arms such as lion duck cavalry, flying tiger cavalry, and pegasus cavalry.

Each flying unit is the trump card of a powerful country.

There is no large-scale flying monster army in the Grant Kingdom.

Among the nearby countries, only the Kingdom of Lane has a Griffin Knights with less than 300 people.

In order to deal with this cavalry group, the harpies need to gather thousands of professionals to suppress this gryphon flying group.

In addition to flying monsters, the human kingdom also has powerful ground monster troops.

For example, the Earth Dragon Cavalry Regiment, the Earth Bear Cavalry Regiment, the Unicorn Cavalry Regiment, etc. These powerful monsters are not weaker than high-level professionals. Even if they are few in number, they can still exert powerful combat effectiveness.

Within the Dukedom of Jonathan, there is a twelve-man Earth Dragoon team. The team members are all high-level professionals trained by the Jonathan family.

This small troop has beheaded the generals and captured the flag on the battlefield, and made countless military exploits. Their strength is enough to kill the legend.
