Lord Harland.

Through the meeting with the following managers, Li Cha had a general understanding of the economic situation of the territory.

The population of the territory is estimated to be more than 43,600 people, most of whom are indentured servants and less than 2,000 free people.

Freedmen were grassroots managers, soldiers who had fought in the war, or family members of disabled soldiers killed in battle.

However, by February next year, the first batch of indentured servants will become freedmen. This batch of people is estimated to be about 3,600 people.

When these indentured slaves regain their freedom, the population structure in the territory will become somewhat normal.

Free people have money, of course they will consume, and the tertiary industry in the territory will develop.

With a population of more than 40,000, it can already form a small-scale market and complete some internal circulation.

After the meeting, Richard wrote a letter for Butler Gibson to bring to Mrs. Ola.

In recent years, with the help of the power of the Harland family, the business controlled by Mrs. Ola has developed a lot. Over the past few years, she has accumulated gold coins of private money.

After receiving the letter from Richard about borrowing money, Mrs. Ola's expression turned ugly.

Although she is a young lady from a merchant family, she has a long-term vision.She chose William, who was ten years older than her, and caught a wealthy son-in-law, allowing herself to achieve a class transition.

Mrs. Ola's child also became a member of the nobility.Even her elder brother, Rand, has benefited a lot, and the scale of the business has expanded a little.

Because Li Cha was so outstanding, Mrs. Ola already understood that it would be difficult for her children to obtain the right to inherit the land.

Richard's influence in the territory of Harland has now surpassed that of William, and Mrs. Ola dare not let her children compete with him for the inheritance.

The struggle for inheritance rights among the nobles is a life-and-death struggle, and a little carelessness may even be life-threatening.

She didn't dare to fight for the territory, but she was going to leave the gold coins and her own business to her children.

Although these words were not clearly stated, they were approved by William, and Richard would not have any objections.

The gold coins Mrs. Olla saved from doing business in the past have supported the development of the territory.

Now he finally saved some more, and Richard asked for a letter again.

Mrs. Ola was willing to object, but she didn't dare to offend Richard. After all, she is not Richard's biological mother. She is also a little old and wan now, and William's love is not as good as before.

Mrs. Ola cherishes everything she has gained now.

She clearly knew that the most fundamental reason why she could obtain such a status, earn the adulation of noble ladies, and earn more than a thousand gold coins every year, far more than her father and brother, was the bloody fighting of the men of the Harland family.

Late at night, she would sometimes touch the scars on her husband William's body, naturally knowing how hard it was to get everything now.

Richard created such a big situation and experienced many dangers and hard battles.

Mrs. Ola was very afraid of Richard, a strange son. This was a fear of power.

She didn't even dare to talk to Richard when William was away.

Li Cha wanted to borrow money, although Mrs. Ola was dissatisfied, she still took out the gold coins and lent the money.

After borrowing the money from Mrs. Ola, Richard took out one thousand gold coins collected in the treasury and purchased two thousand tons of grain, increasing the grain reserve to eleven thousand tons.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Li Cha is going to wait for a while, and after Christmas, continue to take out gold coins, and then buy tons of grain.

By then, even if the weather is abnormal next year and the grain harvest fails due to natural disasters, the grain reserves will still be enough to feed tens of thousands of people in the territory for several months.

After purchasing the food, Li Cha immediately started the training of the two new squadrons.

Li Cha, the captain of the Ninth Squadron, appointed Lost.

Lost is an aristocrat of the Kingdom of Ryan. After the defeat, he became a contract slave and served the slave merchants.

Because the contract was about to be sold to Richard by a slave merchant.

After Richard bought the contract, he sent Lost back to the Kingdom of Ryan to look for his relatives. It has been five months now.

Lost was born in the distant branch of the baron. He has good talent and has awakened the blood of the knight. Before being captured, he was already a second-level knight.After being captured, his baron cousin was unwilling to pay a ransom for him, so he became a slave, and his wife also committed adultery with a cousin of the same race.

The three sons were left behind to live with their old parents and became citizens. Although they still had some money and their wives occasionally helped them, they could live a decent life, but it was still very different from before.

After Lost went back, he took away his parents and son, and forgave his wife.

Because he knew in his heart that his cousin had already coveted his wife. As a powerless woman, she cannot protect herself at all.

It is not his wife that Lost hates, but his stingy cousin.

He was captured fighting for the territory, and his uncle was unwilling to pay the ransom, which made all this happen.

After seeing his family, Lost decided to be loyal to Richard, and advanced to the third level after returning to the territory.

A third-tier knight has a fighting power that exceeds that of a fourth-tier warrior.

Today's Lost is stronger than veteran third-tier professionals such as Martin and Heyman.

Richard only spent eighty gold coins to obtain the allegiance of a third-level knight. This investment was very cost-effective.

Lost used to be the leader of the Eighth Squadron, and this time Li Cha plans to let him lead the recruits as the leader of the Ninth Squadron.

The captain of the Tenth Squadron, Richard chose the young Jennings.

Jennings has good talent and can compete with outstanding talents like William.

He has studied breathing techniques for five years, and advanced to a second-level professional without much resources.

People like Hayden and Ron have practiced breathing techniques for more than ten years, and they can often take Tenghui Potion, but the results are still not as good as others.

If this officer who came out of a slave had not died in the flames of war, according to Richard's estimation, he should have been promoted to the fifth level.

Harland's silver wolf breathing method comes from the Stopa family, and it can be advanced to the fifth level at most.

Jennings' luck, I don't know whether it is good or not.

Said he was lucky, Jennings met Richard when he was young, and was rescued by Richard when he was suffering from the plague.After joining the army, he easily learned the breathing method, relying on his talent to stand out from the soldiers, and became a squadron leader at a young age.

It is simply a template for ordinary people to struggle.

Said that he was unlucky, the upper limit of the silver wolf breathing method he learned was not high, wasting his excellent talent, and he might never be able to be promoted to a high level in this life.

After Lost and Jennings were appointed squadron commanders, Richard also promoted seven new professional officers.

Richard participated in blocking the plane channel and obtained a batch of potion resources rewarded by the Kingdom of Grant.

In addition to promoting Soros to the sixth rank with this batch of potions, one hundred Tenghui potions also trained seven new professional officers in the territory of Harland.

Li Cha selected two of them and appointed them as deputy squadron leaders of the Ninth and Tenth Squadrons, and the remaining five were added to the Demonic Beast Cavalry Squadron.

With the addition of these five newly promoted professionals, the number of professionals in the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron reached thirteen.

Although it is far from the Warcraft Cavalry that everyone is a professional like Duke Roger, compared with the Warcraft Cavalry under Baron Harden, the professionals have reached % of the Warcraft Cavalry under Baron Harden, and their combat effectiveness has also increased to about Harden. Half of the Baron Warcraft cavalry.
