Chapter 121 Conscription Order
After the successful firing of glass, it became important to sell glass.
Due to the high cost of firing glass, the price of glass products cannot be sold too low.
However, the price is too high, and it is difficult to compete with the Viscount of Rohman.
Moreover, the market in Geda Province has been monopolized by Viscount Rohmon for many years, and it is difficult to break the monopoly.
After thinking about it, Richard decided to open up a new track, using glass to make mirrors.
Glass mirrors were manufactured by hand silver plating, avoiding competition with the glassware sold by Viscount Rohman.
But the silver-plated mirror is a layer of window paper, and it is not too difficult for Viscount Rohmon to imitate it.
Because of glass products, competition between the two territories is indispensable in the future.
Richard was not afraid of competition, and as long as the territory wanted to develop, it would inevitably face a steady stream of competition.
Through competition again and again, the territory can overcome one obstacle after another and become stronger and stronger.
In addition, it can also make glass bottles, fill it with liquor to make luxury goods, and can also manufacture canned glass fruits, in short, sell glass through a variety of channels, increase the production of glass, and reduce the cost of glass products.
August is the season of autumn harvest.
This summer's climate was hot, drought and little rain, and the crop yield in northern Xinjiang was very seriously reduced.
The dry land, which is expected to produce 5,400 tons of grain, has produced only 3,200 tons this year, a decrease of 40 percent compared with a normal year.
Fortunately, the drought did not have a serious impact on the production of paddy fields, and the output of 4,000 hectares of paddy fields was 8,400 tons, a decrease of 7 percent.
This year's new grain production is 11,600 tons, which is enough for 25,000 people and more than 2,000 orc slaves to eat for a year, and there is about 2,000 tons of surplus, which can continue to feed 3,000 people.
In recent years, Richard has also stockpiled 6,000 tons of grain for emergencies.
The steel plant has been in operation for more than a year, there is a sufficient supply of steel, and for more than a year the territory has produced one hundred and fifty pieces of steel plate armor, one hundred and twenty pieces of chain mail.
Now the soldiers in Haaland's territory have more than forty percent of the armor rate.
Officers above the squadron are equipped with snake scale armor, and all the senior officers in the territory have monster skin armor to protect them.
The autumn harvest had just been completed, and Richard was accompanying Sophia in the castle, when an urgent letter broke the silence of the castle in the evening.
Richard opened the letter and was taken aback, it turned out to be a conscription order from Heihe Fort.
In June of this year, the cult organization Scarlet Horn launched a rebellion in Canyon County, killing Edmund, the county magistrate, and seizing the county town of Victory.
The seven hereditary barons of Canyon County received the news and organized an army to quell the rebellion, but were defeated by the Scarlet Horn.
Barons Emile and Eugène were killed in battle, and Barons Cram, Dassault, and Fernand were missing.
The Noble Alliance was defeated, and the Scarlet Horn successfully blocked the entrance to the Dragon's Canyon and held off reinforcements from the province of Sodamia.
After the incident, the consul of Jeram was furious and dispatched the city defense army to cooperate with the noble coalition army to quell the rebellion, but he did not expect to be defeated by the rebels again.
Seeing that the rebel army is growing stronger and stronger, and has developed into Wright County and Brenner County, Jeram can only recruit nobles from the north of the province and continue to organize a counterinsurgency army.
Because William led his troops into Graveson Castle at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains to prevent the Orc attack next year, the Harland family had no higher position in the Black River Castle.
The noblewoman who Mrs. Aura befriended at a critical time was of no use at all.
The rebellion had been in place for two months, and the Haaland family had no idea about it.
A conscription order was sent to Richard, requiring the conscription of soldiers from three squadrons, and that the officers leading the troops must be hereditary nobles.
What is the situation in Canyon County?
Richard didn't know anything about it, so he could only accept the order reluctantly.
If you think about it with your head, you know that the situation in Canyon County is already very serious, if it is an ordinary rebellion, the first two times can easily put down the rebellion, and there is no need to mobilize the power of the northern lord of Geda Province at all.
The lord of the north, the main task is to guard against the orcs.
Although the northern lords are poorer, their combat experience is far superior to that of the southern lords. The frontier aristocracy has always given the impression of being barbaric and poor.
I heard that this time to counter the rebellion, the Northern Legion will also send two brigades south.
Diverting the military forces to guard against the orcs to quell the rebellion shows how bad the situation is.
The Haaland family already has three hereditary nobles, William is in the Northern Legion, Sophia is pregnant, and now only Richard can lead troops into battle to fulfill the obligations of the lord.
In the call-up order, there is very little time left for Haaland's territory.
Seven days later, the soldiers of Haaland's territory must appear at Fort Blackriver.
Richard decided to give the soldiers three days off and return home to see their relatives and friends.
After three days, we gathered, trained for three days, and then took a boat to Heihe Fort.
This time Richard decided to take the 1st, 5th, and 8th infantry squadrons on counterinsurgency missions. Cavalry squadrons also followed Richard.
The first squadron has been formed for the longest time, has the largest number of veterans, and the number of senior warrior cadets exceeds fifteen, and its combat effectiveness is second to none, not weaker than the main squadron of the Wild Lion Legion.
The fifth squadron was formed by Sophia, the officers are from the Stowe family, and it has been five years now, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the first and second squadrons, it is also the main squadron of Haaland's territory, far exceeding the city defense army.
The training time of the 8th squadron is still short, and the training of recruits has not yet been completed, but the officer staffing is not bad. The reason why Richard took the 8th Squadron out this time was to let them accumulate some combat experience.
Troops with combat experience can only be relied upon at critical moments.
The cavalry squadron served as a killer weapon, and in case the war was unfavorable, it could also withdraw from the war with Richard.
The strength of the rebels is not very strong and not very weak, and it is suitable for the 8th Squadron to practice their hands.
After the training camp was completed, Richard waved his hand at Sophia, who had come to see her off, and boarded the transport ship with the soldiers.
After the ship started, Richard quietly opened the properties panel in his mind.
After eight months of penance, the experience of the Breathing Method of the Wild Lion Legion increased by more than 11,000, and the experience of the Highland Meditation Method only increased by 5,300 points.
According to Richard's estimates, without killing experience, breathing experience can increase by 1,200 points per month, and meditation experience can only increase by 300 points.
The reason why Richard's meditation experience increased by 5,300 points was entirely due to the creation of new spells, which caused a faint elemental tide surge, giving him excellent feedback on meditation, and the effect of meditation in one month exceeded that of a normal year.
Obviously, with normal cultivation, Richard was more talented in breathing.
In addition, during these eight months, Richard also learned three new spells.
The blood grouping was a spell created by Richard, Sophia, and Wendy, and because it was a new spell, the three of them didn't plan to learn it.
However, there is a need for blood transfusion experiments in hospital work, and it can become very dangerous to identify non-bleeding types.
Richard had matured and was unwilling to experiment with human life, but finally decided to take a little risk and was the first to learn this spell.
Unexpectedly, after inscribed this spell in the spiritual power space, it actually caused an elemental tide surge, giving Richard special feedback, and adding two additional points to the spiritual power.
The other two new spells are Lightning Ball and Healing Critical Injury.
Healing serious injuries is a four-ring magic, and after using this magic, it can even treat serious injuries such as bleeding from internal organs.
The entire Wild Lion Legion, even if the state of war has strengthened the power of the church priest, there are no more than ten people who can release the magic of the four rings.
There are only three mid-level mages in the establishment of the Wild Lion Legion.
The magic level has reached the middle level, which is already very rare in the Grant Kingdom. Combined with the power of the church, there are only more than 200 people in total, which is rarer than the hereditary barons.
With a population of tens of millions, there are only more than 200 middle-level magicians, which are as rare as academicians in the previous life.
