Jennings and Sula are all professional officers, their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and the amount of alcohol is larger than that of ordinary people, although they do not discourage alcohol, such as Odaye, they don't even drink, on average, everyone has to drink about two or three catties.

Julian drank the wine in his glass and said, "I feel that there have been great changes in recent years, for example, in the restaurant in Odaye, there is a roast suckling pig and lamb. A few years ago, there was a shortage of meat in the territory, and it was impossible for us to eat suckling pigs and lambs. Eating a roasted whole lamb is a special luxury. ”

Odaye said: "Yes, the price of meat, sugar, and wine have all dropped a little this year, and an ordinary soldier family can often consume brown sugar and liquor. ”

"For a good life, let's toast!"

After everyone had eaten and drunk, Sulla paid for the meal. He is a man who has a clear distinction between public and private, and although he has the largest stake in the restaurant, he takes the initiative to pay every time he comes to dinner because of his partnership with Odaye.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Jennings stood at the end, and he whispered to Odaye, "I heard that Sulla is married?" ”

Odaye nodded and said, "Sulla got married three months ago, married to an indentured slave widow, and the widow with four children was given thirty-six acres of land near Graveson Castle. I also moved my family from the village near Fort Vic to Greyforsen and became neighbors with Sula's family.

Our two families rented out half of their farmland because they didn't have strong labor. The remaining half of the farmland was planted with pasture and raised more than 200 sheep, and Sura's wife was very good at raising pigs, and we raised a dozen old sows. The suckling pig and lamb used in the restaurant are all home-produced, in fact, the outside market, the meat is still relatively lacking, and the lamb and suckling pig are rarely sold. ”

"How is the hotel's revenue this year?"

"In addition to the expenses, there is a net profit of about thirty gold coins. However, Sulla's investment in gold has exceeded two hundred, and there are a total of six indentured slaves in the hotel and home. ”

Jennings nodded and said: "The profit is still okay, and in a few years, when Master Richard becomes an earl, the relocation decree should be abolished." It's good for business, and your income will increase. ”

"I hope that this day will come sooner, and the ban on migration is very detrimental to the circulation of commerce. When I went to Graveson's house, I had to write an application and go through a lot of formalities, which was really troublesome. Fort William also has no foreign population, the market is entirely dependent on the native freedmen, and if nothing changes, our profits are already in full swing, and the ban on migration has severely restricted commercial activity. ”

Jennings sighed: "There is no perfect thing in the world, the development of the territory depends entirely on the external market, if there is no sales income from brown sugar, steel, wool, glass and other goods, the territory will not be able to support 7,000 regular troops." Prohibition of migration, while discouraged the flow of commerce, also restricted espionage activities and prolonged the time for technology to leak. This is the case, so let's understand it. ”

Odaye nodded and said, "I don't mean to complain, I just hope that Master Richard will become a great nobleman as soon as possible." Lord Richard has become a great nobleman, our realm has become an earldom, and it is almost time to lift the ban. ”

Jennings nodded, and found that Sula had already gone away, pushed Odaye, and asked quietly: "On Sulla's terms, it is possible to marry a noble lady, why do you want to find a widow with several children?" ”

"The widow looked a lot like Sula's sister. Sulla's parents died at an early age, and their brother was raised by his sister, and Duke Guise's soldiers killed his brother-in-law and sold the three to slave traders. Sula's sister died on the road, and his younger brother was bought by merchants in Nolan. For so many years, Sulla had not found her family. ”

Hearing about Sula's tragic past, Jennings sighed with empathy: "Hey! I hope that the goddess of dawn will bless her and reunite Sulla's brothers as soon as possible. ”

Jennings's situation was similar to that of Sulla, except that his parents did not resist, and the entire family was captured by soldiers from the Dukedom of Dukes.

While migrating from the kingdom of Delon, Jennings' grandmother also died halfway through.

In Jennings' memory, it was a very difficult road, and many old and sick people were abandoned on the road.

Life was hard in Nolan, with Jennings' grandfather dying of starvation in the first winter due to malnutrition, and his aunt, who was bought by a bald merchant for her good looks.

His uncle became a eunuch during that time and was sent to the royal court of Grant.

That memory, Jennings will never forget, thinking of his deceased relatives, displaced aunts, castrated uncles, Jennings also has the idea of revenge in his mind.

It's just that his sanity can suppress crazy thoughts, but for the soldiers of the Duke of Guise, people who have experienced this kind of thing will always hate them to the core.

Coming out of the Odaye Hotel, Jennings looked at the sun and decided to visit his sister at Fort William Hospital first.

The Haaland Territory now has six and a half infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades.

Undertaking the task of defending the first line in the north were the 2nd, 5th, 6th, and Reconnaissance Cavalry Brigades, which were more than half of the main forces of the territory.

The second brigade is stationed in the swamp basin, guarding the two mage towers in the territory.

The Scout Cavalry Brigade was stationed at Fort Garrison, and the Fifth Brigade was stationed at Castle Greyfordson. The 1st Brigade, the 1st and 2nd Guards Squadrons, and the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade were stationed at Fort William. The 3rd Brigade was stationed at Fort Vik, and the 4th Brigade was stationed at Fort Sophia.

Jennings' Sixth Brigade is stationed at Flower Castle and is also responsible for patrolling the copper mine area.

The Fifth and Sixth Brigades have completed one year of recruit training, and because they are mixed with veterans of the Third and Fourth Brigades, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the old units, and the decline is not too much.

But the army has not been established for a long time, the officers and soldiers need to run in for a while, and the military affairs have been relatively busy recently, except when the senior officers of the whole army are in a meeting, Jennings rarely comes to Fort William, and he has not seen his wife for two and a half months.

Connie's advanced magician failed, and the mental power space was injured, and it took three years of cultivation to recover.

During the three years of injury, he could not meditate or release spells.

Advanced warriors of advanced students only need to cultivate for about half a year to a year. The failure of the Magic Apprentice Advanced Profession will be more costly, taking three to five years to recover.

Connie only needed to recuperate for three years because of her young age. After becoming a professional, the mage's advancement will often drag on for a longer period of time if it fails.

Connie still works at the hospital. She has been in the hospital for five years, and in the past five years, she has been studying in the hospital, not only can do several common surgeries, become a qualified surgeon, but also summed up a lot of internal medicine experience, and took the initiative to ask Ying to be transferred to the internal medicine department of the hospital. Became a good level of internal medicine doctor.

Although gifted in magic, Connie may be better suited to become a doctor, and more talented in medicine.

Compared with the rapid development of surgery, the development of internal medicine in Haaland Territory Hospital is very slow, and it can only be treated by summarizing various experiences, and the effect is not very good.

The doctors who can perform surgery are the backbone of the hospital, and most of the internists are not high-level doctors.

Connie was very fond of medicine.

After the failure of the advanced mage, Connie was in a low mood for a while, and has recently come out of the haze and is preparing to work on a new drug.

Not able to meditate for three years, she was ready to devote all her energy to medicine.

The work of internal medicine is relatively leisurely, and there are not many patients at the end of the day.

Occasionally, a few come to the internal medicine department just to queue up for registration, be admitted to the hospital early, and find a surgeon for surgery

When Jennings arrived, she found Connie receiving a patient with a serious skin disease, only to see Connie carefully remove a piece of festering skin debris and soak it in a special solution.

"You need to be hospitalized for a period of observation for this disease, and in my experience, it should be a bacterial infection."

"Can you let the surgeon take a look and arrange an operation for me, doctor?"

"Surgery is useless for this disease, and magic healing works better. Our internal medicine department has recently researched a drug, and if you agree, we can also give you a place to try the effect. ”

"I, I still want to have surgery." Probably seeing Connie's youth, the patient said with some embarrassment.

"In that case, I'll write you a list and let Dean Griffin take a look, but your disease is really not suitable for surgery, and it is estimated that you will be transferred to internal medicine."

Because surgery has treated incurable diseases, to ordinary indentured slaves, it is as if surgery can cure all diseases.

In fact, the vast majority of diseases are incurable, and both surgery and internal medicine are helpless against the vast majority of diseases. The best treatment for illness is magic.

Healing spells can not only stop bleeding, but also improve vitality, vitality is improved, and the body's immunity and resistance are also improved in a short time.

Relying on the increased vitality, the healing technique can resist the inflammatory storm, and the best effect is on bacterial and virus invasion type diseases, and there are also spells such as eliminating plague in magic healing, and the killing effect on some special viruses is also particularly good. This is how many diseases are cured.

The only downside to magic healing is that it's hard to get widespread.

The Grant Kingdom has a population of tens of millions, and the number of magicians is less than three hundred. Even if a magician releases spells to save people every day, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the huge patient base, and it cannot increase the average life expectancy.

According to the statistics of Riverbank Elementary School, the probability of low-level magic qualifications appearing is about 1 in 50, but the children who can go to Riverbank Elementary School seem to be relatively smart.

Zooming in to the entire population base, the probability of someone with magical talent is estimated to be one percent. Even if all of these magically gifted people were trained to become magic doctors, how many patients would be able to be treated with healing techniques every day?

The development of medical standards still depends on a large number of ordinary doctors.

Although there are fewer physicians and the level is lower. From Richard to several directors of the hospital, they still attached great importance to the development of internal medicine, and equipped internal medicine doctors with a microscope for several internal medicine doctors to do research.

After seeing her brother, Connie nodded, sent the patient away first, and saw that there were no new patients, so she said, "Brother, when did you come back?" ”

"Sula invited us old comrades-in-arms to dinner, I took a day off, and came to see you by the way, how are you doing?"

After arriving at the hospital, seeing that Connie was in a good mood, Jennings let go of his worries.

"It's good, I stumbled upon an indentured slave from the Grand Duchy of Starnik, who used a special herb to treat burns, and the effect was not bad. By studying the medicinal properties of this herb, I invented an ointment to treat burns, and I used four or five kinds of plants, and the results of animal experiments were very successful. However, there are relatively few patients with territorial burns, human experiments have not yet begun, and the treatment effect and side effects are uncertain. ”

In the Haaland Territory Hospital, human experiments on new drugs need to be approved by the hospital, and in addition to the president and vice president, there are also several authoritative doctors.

These people have different voting rights, and the new drug will only be approved after the vote is passed.

Only after the approval of the hospital can the new drug be given to the patient.

Generally speaking, experiments on animals are preceded by human experiments. Only when the effect of animal experiment treatment is outstanding will it enter the human experiment.

In fact, 80% of the new drugs in Haaland's territory can be sold when it comes to human experiments.

After all, Haaland's territory does not attach as much importance to human life as the earth in the previous life, and there is no monopoly in the territory Pharmaceutical giants in order to raise the threshold and formulate extremely cumbersome procedures for human experiments on new drugs to block competitors. If a new drug is developed, as long as the side effects are not too serious and the drug has a certain effect, the new drug will be approved and manufactured for sale.

Over the years, Haaland Hospital has developed five drugs, the most successful of which is hemostatic ointment.

The core of hemostatic ointment is the purple head peak royal jelly and purple blood vine two drugs, purple blood vine Haaland territory has been able to be planted on a large scale, and now the production of hemostatic ointment is insufficient, mainly restricted by the production of purple head peak royal jelly.

Richard also once ordered drug researchers to find alternatives, using ordinary honey, royal jelly, and some plants that invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis with purple blood vine to make ointment, but the effect is very average, and it cannot replace the effect of purple head peak royal jelly at all.

This year, there is a new queen bee in the hive of Purple Head Peak in Haaland's territory.

According to the rules of the hive, there can only be one queen bee in a nest of purple head peaks, if it is not taken care of in time, the two queens will fight, and the baby queen bee will be killed by the adult queen bee.

The activity range of Zitou Peak is relatively large, and it can be regarded as their territory within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Because of the establishment of the Purple Head Peak nest near Vicburg, every year in the flowering season, some people are stung by the Purple Head Peak full of bags, the Purple Head Peak tail needle is poisonous, and there are even beekeepers who are often stung alive in the past.

Sophia's move to Fort William after giving birth to Margaret also has this factor.
