As the saying goes, sit on the ground and pay back the money on the ground, Chels is not only an excellent warrior, but also an excellent nobleman, and in his eyes these terms have room for manipulation.

"Ray, although the market for sugar is very vast, but according to your plan, won't my Malton family become an errand for your Blake family?

And the contract is not a one-time buyout, and it has to be renewed every year. Even if this is not unique, you can change to a higher bidder in the future, you are really insincere. ”

Subsequently, Chelse refuted Lane's conditions one by one in a clear and well-founded manner, and there was a great posture of overturning them all.

And he also said that this kind of cooperation is based on the momentum of the Malton family, and he has every reason to charge a "protection fee".

Naturally, Ryan could not agree with such a hooligan-like opinion, and he immediately argued with Chels, and finally the two broke each one apart and crumpled each one, arguing for several hours before finally finalizing the final version.

Only a few of them had major changes, the first of which was that the unit price of Chels to pick up goods was changed from seven silver to five, and he was provided with at least 1,000 pounds per month and at least 20,000 pounds of finished green sugar per year.

That is to say, the average monthly allowance is close to 1,700 pounds, 1,000 pounds is just the lowest bottom line per month, and 20,000 pounds is also the minimum bottom line for a year.

This means that Ryan must increase the scale of production immediately after returning home, and the consequences of default are still very serious.

The issue of renewal has also changed from one year to three years, the price of the first signing is 500 Kindler, and the subsequent renewal is also at this price, which has not changed, and Chels is eligible for a permanent contract renewal, unless he voluntarily gives up.

In this way, even if only the most basic amount is provided, the green sugar can bring Ryan at least 3,500 Jindler in three years.

Minus all the costs is also a very large amount, and it directly became Ryan's main source of income, and his annual taxes/taxes are far from this level.

When the final word was finalized, both the big and the small showed a satisfied smile, and they could both accept the plan.

And since then, the two have been entangled in interests, and the connection will naturally become closer in the future, and the more they earn, the stronger they are!

……

After the negotiations, Ryan left the castle in Chelse and went to the inn to wait for Fitlore to rendezvous.

He didn't have to wait long, and Fitrol and his party returned to the inn, and Ryan looked out the window of his room and noticed many strange people.

After seeing Fittlore join a nobleman, many people retreated, leaving only a few people, and they often had forces behind them that were not afraid of a baron.

The sugar cake was too big, and they wanted to mix it in......

"Lord Baron, I have sold all the 1,000 pounds of green sugar this time, a total of more than 16,000 silver deleters, among which the main crowd is the major nobles and merchants, as well as a small number of citizens.

Their desire to buy is very high, and I have opened up the market so much that I think I can be swept away by them even if I come in a few thousand pounds. ”

There was a hint of excitement on Fitrol's face, he could be said to have completed the task assigned by Ryan far beyond the requirements, and the big cake that Ryan had drawn could already be touched.

Ryan patted him on the shoulder happily and affirmed him, more than sixteen thousand silver dele, that is to say, he sold it at a sky-high price of sixteen pieces, which is far more than caramel candy.

"You've done a good job, go down and rest, and I'll be rewarded when you return to the territory."

It's a pity that this money is far from enough to buy food, and it has to be reversed.

After the matter was busy, Ryan suddenly realized that tomorrow was the New Year's Day, and the atmosphere in the city became warmer, as the beginning of the year, the status of the New Year's Day was as important as the Spring Festival in Ryan's previous life.

Ryan hadn't celebrated New Year's Day with his family in years. Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed, all kinds of things have followed one after another over the years, but he has inadvertently neglected the company of his family.

Asking the maid to bring pen and paper, Ryan picked up the pen and wrote the last letter of the year, although it was estimated that it was half a month later when Kailenman received it.

Wrap the envelope and send it to the letter station, when the time comes, a messenger will deliver the letter to the middle of the kingdom.

Anyway, it was too late to rush back for the New Year's Day, so Ryan simply accepted Chels' invitation to spend it with them.

This is the most decent New Year's Day since Ryan crossed over, after all, he has been on the battlefield for the past few years, how can he have a chance to have a good New Year's Day?

The Zhengdan Festival in this world is similar to Christmas in the West in the previous life, except that there is no legend of Santa Claus, and naturally there is no white-bearded grandfather to stuff gifts into your socks.

……

By the time Ryan's party crossed Barony Bress and returned to Canna, a week had passed.

There was no Ryan, so this year's New Year's Day in the castle was a little deserted, and there was not much lively atmosphere, only Delai, Allen, Hervian and others held a small banquet.

And Hans, he is still looking for a needle in a haystack in the Warcraft Mountains at the moment.

The first thing Ryan did when he returned to the territory was to inform Civis and Ham, who was in charge of juicing the green cane, to expand production.

The original production had expanded to nearly 1,000 pounds a month, and now his goal was to expand to 2,000 pounds a month.

Then he held the first high-level meeting of the new year, which was attended by Allen, who was in charge of the military, Delai, the political officer, Hevian, Wadew, the warden Jack, Xiyue, Canon, Kwill, and some high-ranking military and political officials.

Liman refused to attend the meeting on the pretext that he was busy with alchemy potions, and sent a representative. Hans was absent, and Fittror was left in Hooray by Lane to wait for Chels to prepare food and transport it back to Canna.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the new year is coming, and we should have a summary of last year and set the direction and goals for the new year. First of all, it starts with the Government Affairs Department. ”

Ryan sat at the head and looked at the people below him slowly.

Hearing this, Delai stood up and summarized the current economic situation and basic situation of the territory, which was very simple, that is, lack of money.

Hevian goes on to say that in the time of Lane's absence, he had been successful in organizing the refugees to reclaim the wasteland, and the moat had been dug and the city's main roads had been repaired and leveled.

It has also housed more than 3,000 refugees, and the total population of Kana Territory is now close to more than 25,000 people, more than a third of whom are refugees from various places.

The Valhalla Cemetery is also about to be completed, and the fallen warriors of the Kanna Command will have a new home.

Later, officials from the government department got up one after another to report on their work, and in general, the situation was not very good, after all, the territory experienced too much last year, and it was not easy to maintain it to this point.

Then came the army, Allen said that during this period of time, the two battalions planned by the "Tuntian Army" at the beginning had all been fully established and began to train intensively.

The original city defense battalion had long existed in name only, and the rest of the people were taken by Hans to find the mines, and the establishment was directly canceled.

The militia battalion was originally a temporary unit, and those that were not converted into the "Tuntian Army" were also disbanded on the spot after the beginning of the year.

During this time, the weapons and equipment created by the craftsmen finally began to be installed in the troops, but the number was too small and the time was too short, and the demand was far greater than the supply.

An assistant sent by Liman's alchemy potion dispensing center is Turner, who is one of Riman's apprentices and the de facto head of the dispensing center.

Because Liman often can't see people, he can only let him be on top and be responsible for the usual management, anyway, there are not many people there in the first place.

He's just a head-builder, so naturally he doesn't have much to summarize.

Xiyue and Kewell and the others were also only here to observe, because of the little privilege that came with their transcendent status.

It's a bit confusing that Canon can come here, so naturally there is no conclusion.

Warden Jack was very busy during this time, and his main meaning was to send more people to learn interrogation techniques from him.

……

Overall, Karna is now developing in a good direction, with green sugar as a source of revenue, the army has been overhauled, the food crisis is about to be lifted, and the population has grown considerably......

Now the only thing that needs to be changed is the government department, so after they finished summarizing, Lane directly announced a new round of personnel appointments:

"Appointed Delai as the commander of the Kanna Army, commanding the first battalion of the 'Tuntian Army'.

Knight Commander Allen is the deputy commander of the regiment, commanding the second battalion of the 'Tuntian Army'.

Hans remained as a city defense officer, and when he returned, he reorganized the city defense battalion.

Appointed Hervian as Parliamentary Officer of the Government Office.

Fitlore is the treasurer, Jack remains the same, and Canon is the logistics officer......"

As soon as this appointment came out, it immediately set off a huge wave, not to mention anything else, the most surprising thing is that Hevian actually became the head of the Kanna Government Department, which is a very critical position change.

And the most confusing thing is that Canon actually became a logistics support officer, logistics support is a newly created position of Lane, a combination of logistics and quartermaster, it can be said that he is a real big butler, responsible for the deployment of materials and military supplies in the whole territory, and he can be said to have real power.

This position of envy of others made Canon's face bitter, this position was good, but it was not suitable for him.

Because Lane stipulated that no official in the realm could engage in business except for the treasurer, and Canon was no exception as the number one merchant.

That is, he now needs to pass on the position of head of the family to his son, and draw a clear line with the merchant community, at least on the surface.

There had never been a precedent for this before, but I didn't expect it to start with him.

Canon only thinks that Ryan is so ruthless, and now in Canna, the merchant group is headed by him, so Ryan will not touch him easily, because if he moves, it will be chaotic.

And now, he is about to break away from this group, although his identity has changed, but this also means that he will be caught in all kinds of material transfers in the future, and he has no energy at all, and he can no longer maintain the merchant group.

Over time, he will be marginalized and will no longer fit in.

And his son is still too young......

The meeting went on in an orderly manner, and everyone was busy except for Xiyue who was bored looking at the ceiling in a daze.

At the meeting, Lane proposed the general direction of development for the year, and the main tone was to develop handicrafts, reclaim wasteland to encourage farming, and at the same time increase the population of the territory.

In addition to absorbing refugees, the population of the territory will also include encouraging childbearing, buying slaves, and attracting residents of other territories to settle down, which will be one of the basic policies in the future.

Another important point is that the reform of the armed forces is mainly based on the military system, armaments, military status, and so on.

Although the new "Tuntian Army" has been formed, in Lane's opinion, the military system is still a little too simple.

The structure of a ten-man squad, a hundred-man brigade, and a thousand-man battalion is too simple, and it should be more compact and convenient for command.

The armament is very simple, that is, it is equipped with heavy weapons and individual equipment upgrades, heavy weapons are currently in the eyebrow of trebuchets, and when follow-up assistance arrives, bed crossbows and ballistas can be considered.

In terms of individual equipment, the main thing is to replace all the one-handed swords and swords of the army with war knives, and the blacksmith workshop has a bit of a copy of the Tang knife, and it will be installed in the army after it can be mass-produced.

Don't look at this small change, on the battlefield, knives are much easier to use than swords, and the manufacturing process of swords is much more complicated than knives, which is also a big improvement.

In terms of military registration, he has initially proposed that version 2.0 will be launched now, and he proposed that as long as he is selected to join the army, his family information needs to be registered separately.

Then, while he is in service, his immediate family will enjoy privileges, such as exemption from forced labor, most taxes, and so on.

At the same time, if he becomes a deserter or defects, his immediate family will also be affected, at least deported.

After the benefits of being a soldier, more and more people will naturally join the army, and the status of soldiers will also be imperceptibly improved.

The meeting lasted for a whole day, and in the end, Xiyue was already in a hurry, she was already a little out of her temper, and she couldn't stand the restraint the most.

In Ryan's words, an elf like her belongs to nature, and every place that restricts her is a cage that she will eventually break free.

After the meeting ended, she muttered: "Don't call me next time for this kind of thing, it's a waste of life, and you have to argue over and over again when it's sometimes quite simple." ”

Ryan smiled and didn't reply to her words, no matter where it is, human conferences are like this, and it is very efficient for the meeting to end in more than half a day, but this is because this is his word, and few people refute the decisions made.

As far as he knew, the council of nobles in Tistan was measured in months every time it was in session, and it would be crazy to put Xiyue in it.

Just when they were ready to enjoy afternoon tea, the dragon crystal in Ryan's mind suddenly trembled violently, and his complexion changed greatly, but he found that the purple mist absorbed by the dragon crystal was actually slowly decreasing.

He looked horrified, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Xiyue's face had also become extremely solemn, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but say in unison: "You also found out?" ”
