Chapter 111: The Caravan Travels Far Away
Most of the difficulties of blood transfusion have been overcome, and sterility and anesthesia are relatively simpler.
The territory can produce high-grade liquor, which can naturally distill and purify alcohol, and can use high-temperature disinfection and alcohol disinfection methods to create a sterile environment.
Anesthesia is the easiest to overcome, and magicians can achieve the effect of anesthesia through lethargy.
Richard also found a special plant called the Psychedelic Tree through the sheep's head, from which an anesthetic was extracted, and a bowl of it could make people fall into a coma.
Through several experiments, Richard found that the psychedelic tree had no side effects other than making it unconscious.
A wasteland has also been carved out of the territory, and some psychedelic trees have been transplanted to extract the sap from the psychedelic trees.
In addition to making anesthetics, this thing can also make tranquilizer arrows.
Haaland's territory has been preparing since last year, and now more than half of the preconditions for the establishment of a surgical hospital have been reached.
After the hospital is built, there is no need to treat patients for a short time.
Doctors and nurses need training, even if Richard wrote a lot of regulations, so that doctors and nurses have a clear understanding of bacteria and viruses, and read the new knowledge written by Richard, it takes a while.
In addition, doctors need to use animals to do experiments to see how well the treatment works.
It will take at least a year for the hospital to open for business and treat patients and save lives.
Arranging Adrian to be the director of the hospital is actually to do some preliminary work, and the main task is to train personnel, do animal experiments and summarize experience.
Another cousin, Donn, was mainly responsible for overseeing the spring ploughing work.
Sophia has to study magic every day and has little free time, so she can only manage the big things in her territory. Spring ploughing work is very important, and it needs to be watched by people all the time, even if it is to catch ducks on the shelves, it can only be undertaken by Tang En.
Richard was busy in the territory for a month, and in mid-March, he decided to leave the territory with the sixth and fourth squadrons and go to the Grand Duchy of Starnik to buy slaves.
Spring has already arrived in mid-March.
Spring is the time when everything wakes up, the green buds have grown, and the earth has come to life.
As Richard walked on the road, he seemed to be able to smell the scent of flowers and earth, and the feeling of freshness and refinement was refreshing.
The hills in the distance, bathed in the softness of the sun, are full of greenery, which is particularly beautiful and charming.
The creek rattled and the water was crystal clear, and small fish swam in the river as they passed by.
There were some birdsong in my ears, and sparrows and little swallows were crossing the mountains and mountains to the northern regions to breed.
After eleven years of traveling to this world, it was only this year that Richard felt a little lighter in his heart.
To enter the Grand Duchy of Starnik, you need to go west through the province of Gascoyne, the Duchy of Edward, and the Duchy of Fox, and reach Linus, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Starnik, about 800 kilometers away.
Richard had two squadrons of soldiers by his side, and it was more troublesome to enter any territory.
A lot of things need to be prepared in advance, and a trip to the Grand Duchy of Starnik can take several months.
When leaving, Richard carried some territorial specialties such as iron arrowheads, brown sugar, white wine, and purple head peak honey.
Through the Heihe River, the main artery of northern Xinjiang, Richard and the others entered the Duke of Edward before getting off the boat.
Iron arrowheads, liquor and other materials are very popular in northern Xinjiang, and after Richard sold this batch of goods, he bought ten iron wildebeest horses from Duke Edward's dukedom, and expanded the Warcraft war horses in Harran's territory a little.
Duke Edward has been cultivating Iron Wildebeest Monsters for more than a hundred years, and the Iron Wildebeest population is also very large, and some second-order stallions will also be sold.
But these second-order stallions are castrated.
Stallions that cannot be bred have very little attraction to the Haaland family.
Richard could only buy a batch of mares eliminated by Duke Edward's county, which were not young, and they had already entered old age when replaced by humans.
Despite his age, as long as he can breed and give birth, it is better for Haaland's territory than a castrated stallion.
Leaving the Duchy of Edward, entering the Duchy of Fox, almost into April.
The Duchy of Fox borders the Grand Duchy of Starnik.
Entering the Dukedom of Fawkes, you can already see some caravans of the Grand Duchy of Starnik, selling specialties of the Grand Duchy of Starnik.
The Elven Black Tea produced in the Grand Duchy of Starnik is so famous that thousands of black tea trees are planted in tea farms under the direct control of the royal family.
Every year, by selling elf black tea to the Grant Kingdom, the Grand Duchy of Starnik can get hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
For the species of black tea trees, the Grand Duchy of Starnik is very tightly controlled.
Caravans entering the Duchy of Fox from the Grand Duchy of Starnik were subject to strict checks.
Once the entrained tea tree species is found, the entire caravan will be killed.
The Grand Duchy of Starnik is less than one-third the size of the Kingdom of Grant, about 600,000 square kilometers, and has a population of less than eight million.
Because of its weak national strength, every time the Orcs invade, the Grand Duchy of Starnik is difficult to resist, and often asks for help from neighboring countries.
Neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Grant, the Kingdom of Delon, and the Kingdom of Ryan, because of their cold lips and teeth, often help the Grand Duchy of Starnik to hold the line of defense within their ability.
If the Grand Duchy of Starnik were to be captured by the Orcs, the land 600 kilometers west of the Kingdom of Grant would become the front line.
Holding on to a thousand-kilometer defensive line to the north is already very difficult for the kingdom of Grant, and another 600 kilometers will make the kingdom's finances bankrupt with a heavy burden.
Although the former royal family of the Grand Duchy of Starnik took refuge in the Kingdom of Grant, the current royal family, the Linus family, had some complaints.
However, the status quo of the Grand Duchy of Starnik asking for the Kingdom of Grant made it impossible for them to turn their faces publicly.
In the last hundred years, the Grand Duchy of Starnik has moved closer to the Kingdom of Lane and has become somewhat estranged from the Grant royal family.
The Linus family used to be vassals of the Jonathan family, and took advantage of the emergence of a mediocre grand duke in the Jonathan family, united several great nobles to drive the Jonathan family away.
Although it successfully counterattacked and became the Grand Duchy of Stanik, the strength of the family has also been well developed.
It's a pity that because of the injustice of winning the country, he compromised too much with the big nobles, and was constrained by the big nobles.
The royal authority of the Grand Duke of Starnik was weak, controlling only two million people, just over a quarter, and more than five million people were monopolized by a few great nobles.
Because the big nobility occupies huge resources, it is difficult for the small nobility to develop well.
The number of hereditary barons is very small, only a hundred, less than one-sixth of the kingdom of Grant.
The country is more class-solidified, somewhat lifeless.
Entering the Grand Duchy of Starnik, the strict class division and almost no room for rise actually made Richard feel depressed.
