Richard found through experiments that if you put in six points of spiritual power, you will generate iron metal, if you put in twelve points of spiritual power, you will become copper metal, and if you put in eighteen points of spiritual power, you will generate silver metal, and once you put in more than twenty-four points of spiritual power, you will generate about one kilogram of gold metal.

Gold is a very precious metal, even if it is not worth as much as gold coins of the same quality, a kilogram of gold is worth about thirteen gold coins and four silver coins.

According to Richard's estimates, the rate of conversion of his mental power into magic power is higher than that of ordinary people, and if a normal magician wants to use creation to conjure gold, he will invest about thirty points of spiritual power.

In order to verify his conjecture, Richard successively let Sophia and Wendy learn the art of creation, and put all his mental power into releasing this spell.

Wendy's mental power is still a little insufficient, so she can only wear the Starlight Necklace to release the powerful creation technique.

Through continuous research and testing the strength of mental power, Richard found that Sophia needed to consume about 27 points of mental power to make gold, and Wendy needed to consume 29 points of mental power.

Why do different metals be made with different magic?

Why do different people need to put in different mental energy to make different metals?

Why is the magical structure of creation so special?

The strong desire to learn made Richard especially want to understand the principle behind it.

In what Richard learned in his previous life, an element is a general term for the same class of atoms with the same number of protons.

Atoms are made up of nuclei and electrons, which in turn are made up of protons and neutrons.

Infinite matter is made up of different combinations of two basic types of matter, namely nucleons and electrons.

Among them, the positively charged nucleon is a proton, and the uncharged nucleon is a neutron; Electrons have a negative charge.

What keeps protons and neutrons together in the nucleus is cohesion.

However, the nucleus is still unstable because half of its nucleons are positively charged protons, which causes two opposite forces in the nucleus: the surface tension that binds the nucleons together, and the repulsive force between the charged parts of the nucleus that tends to split the atom into pieces.

If the surface tension is dominant, the nuclei will not split on their own, and when two such nuclei come into contact with each other, they will have a tendency to fuse together;

If the repulsive electricity prevails, the nucleus of an atom will split itself into two or more broken blocks that fly away at high speed, a process known as fission.

However, both fusion and fission require extremely strong influences to be possible.

It is assumed that the onlookers of the Dawn plane are also atomic, but among the protons, neutrons, and electrons, there is another kind of elementary particle, magic particles.

Magical particles exhibit a variety of magical effects through special laws of operation.

Although the laws of the operation of magic energy particles are now studied, the conditions are not yet ripe.

But it is possible to study the spell structure of creation and create new spells.

From what he learned in his previous life, Richard knew that the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of a metallic element is smaller, generally less than four; The number of outermost electrons in the atom of the atom of the non-metallic element is more, generally greater than four.

Why does creation make metal? This can be a key factor.

In addition, there is a magic water creation technique, which can also create things out of thin air, creating hydrogen and oxygen.

With doubts in his mind, Richard set up a research group and organized the most thoughtful magicians in the territory to calm down and study the structure of the two spells.

By splitting the two spell structures, Sophia keenly finds the key points and discovers the most critical spell infrastructure, which can bring together different elements. Using this most basic spell structure, Sophia creatively added a new spell structure and researched a four-ring spell, the Gold Fabrication Technique.

After releasing this magic, ten points of spiritual power are consumed, and about 500 grams of gold can be produced.

An ordinary four-ring magician, with a spiritual power of about sixteen points, can unleash a four-ring magic gold manufacturing technique, which can make about six gold coins and eight silver coins worth gold.

If the mental power consumption is too large, and the potion that restores the mental power is not used, the average mage will recover in about three or four days.

A four-ring magician, who uses gold fabrication once every three days, can produce about 800 gold coins worth of gold in a year.

The Dawn Plane is a joint gold-magic crystal system, and both magic crystals and gold are extremely scarce resources, because of the lack of gold-magic crystals, almost all regions are in deflation.

A deflationary economy, with declining asset prices and sluggish market demand, is very detrimental to economic development.

Hundreds of years ago, the Holy Spirit Radiant Empire wanted to break the status quo and issued a parchment currency based on national credit.

However, the first neighboring countries did not admit their accounts, the second anti-counterfeiting problem could not be solved, and the rulers of the third Holy Spirit Radiance Empire did not cherish the national credit and issued paper money indiscriminately, destroying the most important circulation basis of parchment currency.

A variety of reasons led to the failure of parchment currency issuance.

At present, although the weight of the gold coins of the major kingdoms is different, it is still mainly gold smelting waste magic crystal powder.

Normally, it is difficult for an ordinary four-ring magician to earn eight hundred gold coins a year.

A magician of this level, if he is not proficient in side jobs such as potions, enchantment, and alchemy, and is placed in the main legion, the normal salary is about one hundred and twenty gold coins.

But the Four-Ring Magician, who is also a big man in an area, relies on sheltering a part of the merchants, and his annual income adds up to between three and four hundred gold coins.

Before William became a hereditary nobleman, counting the dry shares offered by his uncle Goland, his annual income was only three hundred gold coins. In addition to Mrs. Ola and Powell's part of the business, Bernie's military salary, the Haaland family, which had no division at that time, had an annual income of about 800 to 1,000 gold coins.

Now an ordinary four-ring magician, as long as he learns this new spell, he can immediately double his income.

The amount of gold created by the magicians is equivalent to increasing the amount of gold put into the market, and it is also quite good for alleviating deflation.

However, iron, copper, and even silver are relatively large metals compared to gold, and the use of these three magic spells is not so economically beneficial. But in a special environment, creation out of thin air can play a very big role.

Because the economic impact of gold manufacturing is so significant, Richard has no plans to make it public for the time being.

When Haaland's territory has developed to a certain extent, the territory has a large number of fourth-order magicians, and the family has a royal seal in their hands, which can prevent magicians from leaking secrets, Richard will have a limited spread of this spell to make gold and increase some income for Haaland's territory.

After Sophia created the art of gold, Richard, Wendy and others followed suit to create the art of steel, brass, and silver.

Once mastered the elemental convergence structure, the mage can study different elements and create different magical structures that can be used to create different elements.

If you go a little deeper, you can also refer to water creation to create different elemental compounds. This research must be very promising in the wizarding world.

With the invention of the new magic, Sophia's meditation speed immediately increased tenfold or so, and this leap-and-bound, initiation-like meditation lasted for about two months.

Because the feedback on meditation is particularly good, in just two or three months, the effect of meditation is equal to two or three years. However, it was still a short time for her to break through the six-ring magician, and it would take some time to accumulate before the meditation method advanced, and according to the normal meditation speed, it would take about four or five years. Unless you can create new magic again and research new magic theories, you can speed up your progression.

After entering October, Richard began to inspect the territory, contact the most basic freemen and indentured slaves, break the information cocoon set up for him by the bureaucracy, redress the grievances of the people, and deal with the bureaucrats who were corrupt and derelict in their duties and oppressed the people.

By the end of this year, according to the statistics of the civil affairs department, the population of Haaland's territory had reached 258,000, an increase of about 28,000 compared with last year, of which 10,000 were indentured slaves purchased by Richard and Duke Guise.

Of the other 18,000 people, more than 1,000 were private slaves purchased by merchants in Haaland's territory, and more than 1,000 were immigrants who migrated into the territory.

Last year, there were about 15,000 newborns in the territory.

The fertility rate in Haaland's territory is about 5%.

Because of the well-fed and warmly clothed, the high fertility rate in the territory has been maintained for ten years, and the children under the age of 12 add up to more than 60,000 people, accounting for about 23% of the total population.

Whether it is a private slave purchased by a merchant or a migrated foreign population, they can only settle in agricultural planting areas such as Vicburg and Malte Castle to prevent the core secrets of the territory from being leaked. Only a small number of outsiders can pass the review of the territory's intelligence department and enter the core castles of Fort William and Fort Sophia, and they must be strictly supervised, and can only operate in specific locations, and cannot wander around at will.

For example, the private slaves purchased by the merchants of Fort William must not appear in the city lord's mansion, riverside elementary school, research institutes, laboratories and other secret places. If something goes wrong, a lot of people will be held accountable by the law.

Fort William, Sophia, Swamp Basin and other secret departments have soldiers standing guard and patrolling.

After so many years of education, coupled with the lessons of blood, both freemen and indentured slaves have developed the habit of staying away from the secret department. lest because of too much curiosity, he will be thrown into the mine and become food for the orcs.

The area of Haaland's territory is already not small, more than 18,000 square kilometers of land, more than 100 large and small villages, in addition to various factories and mines, each village turns around, it takes about two months.

After Richard returned to Fort William after inspecting the territory, it was already mid-December, not far from the goddess's birthday.

Before the Goddess Day, Richard first summarized this year's income and expenditure. He summoned the bureaucrats of the realm to the city lord's mansion to count this year's income and make a budget for next year.

The first to report was still Gibson, who was William's butler and a distant member of the Haaland family, William's cousin by generation.

Because Richard and William are not separated, William's territory has always been run by Richard, although Gibson has no position in Haaland's territory, his status is very high, second only to Richard's uncle Brother Rog, and he is considered the second person in the civil system.

"This year's business in Heihe Fort is very good, with a net profit of two thousand four hundred gold coins, but this year Lady Ola spent five thousand gold coins to buy a manor, which has about 1,300 acres of farmland and one hundred and sixty slaves. The estate is close to the river and has waterwheels to irrigate the farmland, making it a very good quality property. If it weren't for the owner of the manor going to live in the royal capital, we wouldn't have been able to buy this asset. After the purchase of the manor, there is now little liquidity in the treasury of Fort Black River, and Lady Aura has a short-term debt of one thousand gold coins. ”

Gibson spoke eloquently and introduced the various businesses of Blackriver Fort clearly.

After William became a hereditary baron, the Harland family's business in Fort Black River developed rapidly, and Lady Ola not only had a large number of properties for rent, but also inns, chain taverns, woolen clothing stores, grain stores, shoe stores, and leatherworkers' shops, as well as farms, watermills, four-wheeled carriage transports, and a large mercenary team dedicated to Lady Ola.

Almost any business to make money, Lady Ola has to intervene.

In previous years, the territory was unable to make ends meet, and every year it had to draw cash from the Lady Ola. As soon as she had money in her hand, she immediately borrowed money to invest, for fear that she would be borrowed by Richard and hit the dog.

Richard knew that Lady Ola's property was going to be inherited by her children. Of course, he would not object to his younger siblings inheriting this property. As long as he does not compete with Richard for the inheritance of William's Will, Richard will try his best to meet some requirements for property.

After Gibson, it was Richard's cousin Donn who reported.

Donn is in charge of agriculture in Haaland's territory.

The income from agriculture is the bulk of a territory. The same is true for the Haaland territory. It's just that Richard takes out the income from agriculture every year and uses it to buy slaves, which is reflected in cash flow, as if there is no income from agriculture.

In fact, relying on the accumulation of agriculture to buy indentured slaves, plus the war-torn population, Baron Cissé compensated the population, and the Harland territory was able to develop to this extent.

"After deducting this year's grain reserves, we sold 26,000 tons of grain in exchange for about 10,000 indentured slaves. In the grain trade, there is no cash income this year. ”

"The growth momentum of textile trade this year is very good, wool textile has brought a net profit of 26,000 gold coins, and the profit of cotton textile is about 4,000 gold coins. Wool spinning plus cotton spinning, the net profit of the textile industry adds up to 30,000 gold coins, which is already the largest income in the territory. The most important point is that the income of textiles depends half on the internal market of the territory and half on the outside. ”

The head of the textile department was Scott, who invented a new type of loom and increased textile efficiency by more than eight times.

Because of his outstanding contributions, he was promoted by Richard to take charge of the textile business.
