Today, textiles have surpassed steel and liquor, and have become the second only income in Haaland's territory to grain.

The textile industry in northern Xinjiang is very backward, the output of cotton cloth is low, whether it is the three northern provinces or several dukedoms, the output of cloth has been insufficient. The relationship between supply and demand is unbalanced, so the low-cost woolen cloth in Haaland's territory can quickly occupy the market, according to Richard's estimates, the potential of the northern Xinjiang market is fully developed, and the income of textiles may exceed 60,000 gold coins.

After textiles is the steel trade.

"This year, a third steel-making furnace was established in the territory, and the new furnace is taller and bigger, and this year the steel production in the Haaland territory exceeded 2,000 tons, an increase of about 50 percent. 2,000 tons of steel, net profit reached 22,000 gold coins. ”

With Thomas Webb's report, Richard had a rough idea of how the steel industry was going to happen.

Because of the increase in production, the wholesale price of steel in Haaland's territory has now dropped to eighteen gold coins for a ton of iron, and the retail price for a kilogram of iron has dropped to seven copper coins. Compared to a decade ago, it is down by more than half.

Despite the low price, the steel business faced a lot of competition, especially the northern nobles, who themselves had iron ore, and despite the high cost of production, the lords were afraid of the outflow of gold coins, so they still restricted the entry of Haaland's metro products.

The scale of the external market has been limited, so the profits of steel trade have increased very slowly in recent years, and it was not until the development of domestic demand in the territory that the income of steel trade exceeded 20,000 gold coins.

In addition, in recent years, the territory has raised a large number of sheep, and the number of sheep in the Haaland territory has increased more than 20 times, to more than 3 million heads.

Even if you eat one-tenth of it every year, more than 300,000 live sheep are put on the market, and the price of mutton has dropped a lot. Since last year, ordinary freedmen have been able to eat mutton occasionally.

Of the more than 3 million sheep, one-third of them were in Richard's hands. Bernard manages a tribe of sheep that now grazes more than a million sheep. The annual tax of 200,000 sheep is about 20,000 gold coins according to the current sheep price.

It's just that half of them need to be used to supply the army, to give benefits to the bureaucrats, and to pay pensions to the disabled and dead soldiers, and the gold coins that fell into Richard's hands were only about 10,000.

The rate of reproduction of sheep is very fast, and as long as there is enough pasture, the population can increase tenfold or so in two to three years with a little luck.

Haaland's territory, with its heavy rainfall, lush vegetation and sparsely populated territory, is suitable for animal husbandry, and according to Richard's estimates, the flock can expand to tens of millions of heads.

It is the population of the territory that now restricts the expansion of the flock. Only when the population increases will there be enough sheep herders.

Next up was Ihakir, who managed the brown sugar plantations. Up to now, the brown sugar plantation has expanded to several nearby hills, and tens of thousands of brown sugar trees have been cultivated in the plantation, although most of the brown sugar trees are not yet mature, and this year's brown sugar production has reached a new high, exceeding the income of liquor.

"The output of the brown sugar plantation this year has reached 523 tons, which is double that of last year, and the net profit is 11,500 gold coins. The brown sugar trees in the plantation are still in the rapid growth stage, and the output will exceed 1,000 tons in the next year and reach 2,000 tons in five years. If you can't open up new markets, you can only sell them at a reduced price. ”

This year, the wholesale price of brown sugar in Haaland's territory has not decreased, but the retail price has decreased somewhat, to ten copper coins a kilogram. If it weren't for the rapid increase in the domestic demand market in the territory, and the addition of new channels brought by the Goddess of Fortune Church, the digestion of the increased production of brown sugar, this year's doubling of brown sugar production, the market would have been oversupplied.

Although brown sugar is a scarce material, there are so many consumers in northern Xinjiang, even if it squeezes out the honey market, according to the current price of brown sugar, the consumption capacity of the population in northern Xinjiang is at most 500 tons of brown sugar.

Unless the price is reduced, brown sugar can be changed from a light luxury to an ordinary material, so as to expand the market capacity.

Even so, in addition to Haaland's territory, there are only about 200,000 consumers in the northern Xinjiang region, and even if it reaches the level of Richard's previous life, the average person consumes ten kilograms of sugar a year, and the total market capacity is only 2,000 tons.

If you want to make a profit from brown sugar, the most important thing is to expand the consumer population.

At the end of this year, there were 75,000 freedmen in Haaland's territory. These 75,000 people are all considered to have spending power, and the income of brown sugar in the future may be mainly driven by the domestic demand market.

Of the 75,000 freemen, more than 10,000 of whom had their contracts expired this fall, were not yet required to pay the land tax. For the 60,000 freedmen who paid the land tax, the income from the land tax was 15,000 gold coins, plus the income from commercial tax, real estate tax, installment housing payment, etc., and this year's tax revenue totaled 20,000 gold coins, second only to grain, textiles, steel and other bulk trade.

Taxes are no longer optional for the territory, but an indispensable income.

In addition, this year's income from demon hunting is very high, and a group of lions were captured in the spring, with a real value of more than 300,000 gold coins, and after exchanging resources with the royal family, they also got 6,000 magic crystals, and at the end of the year, they captured a group of iron wildebeests, with a total value of more than 10,000 gold coins. There were also a few successful hunts in between.

The net income from the coins brought by the hunting of demonic beasts this year is a total of 6,000 magic crystals and 10,000 gold coins, adding up to about 70,000 gold coins.

Due to the expansion of the territory's domestic demand market, the income of the wine business has gradually increased, and the net income of the fruit wine has just reached 10,000 gold coins.

Four years after the outbreak of the Wine War, the profits from the wine trade finally climbed back to 10,000 gold coins, which became the more important income of the territory.

In addition, the Magic Crystal charging technology has also brought great benefits this year.

There are two mage towers in Haaland's domain, both of which have artificially created mana wells. The Tower of Flame uses the module of the Furnace, the core element of the Floating City's energy, and the Tower of Lightning also uses the core of the Legendary Beast.

With an artificial mana well, the Mage Tower does not need to consume magic crystals, and can also install a magic crystal charging circle.

Two mage towers, charging 1,200 discarded magic crystals in a year, deducting the loss of charging circle materials, the mage's salary, and the cost of discarding magic crystals, the epoch-making technology of magic crystal charging has brought 11,000 gold coins to Haland's territory.

Coal mine production is also climbing this year, reaching 24,000 tons.

In fact, compared to the coal reserves in the Haaland territory, the production of 24,000 tons is almost insignificant.

More than 100 workers in the coal mine can complete a year's production tasks after two months of mining, and most of the coal miners spend their time engaged in infrastructure construction, building houses, repairing tracks, building roads, cutting down trees, planting land, and so on.

But the market is so big, digging up too much coal to sell. In addition to the loss of labor and materials, the coal mine has a total profit of 7,000 gold coins this year.

The next report was Gavin Haaland, the second son of his third uncle, Bernie, five years younger than Richard, who had married the year before.

Gavin surpassed Donn's talent, and at the age of twenty-two, he had been promoted to a second-order professional. In the Haaland family, he should be second only to Richard and Wendy, and has the potential to grow into a high-level professional.

A few years ago, Gavin joined the Grizzlies along with his cousin Cologne and became a junior officer in the Grizzlies. Since last year, Richard's cousin Thorne has entered the Grizzlies.

Richard's cousin, at one point, three served in the Grizzlies.

Because of the rapid development of Haaland's territory and the lack of effective assistants around Richard, Gavin retired from the Grizzlies and was placed in the four-wheeled carriage factory by Richard, and began to be responsible for the transportation of the territory this year.

Haaland led the manganese steel alloy manufacturing technology to create rolling bearings.

The four-wheeled carriage with new rolling bearings has a load capacity and passability that are far better than the wooden bearings and copper bearings that were in circulation at this time.

"The four-wheeled carriage market in the three northern provinces has been saturated this year, we only sold about 400 carriages, and earned a profit of 4,000 gold coins, and next year's sales may be lower, but this year's transportation business in the territory has grown rapidly, and by the end of the year there will be a profit of 5,000 gold coins.

If the orcs invade as scheduled next year, we can take on a lot of army transportation business, and the profits will increase significantly. ”

After listening to Gavin's report, Richard smiled and asked, "As an army transporter, do you have the ability to get money?" Don't let the main army confiscate all your four-wheeled carriages when the time comes? ”

"It's up to Uncle William to communicate with the above."

Hearing this, Richard waved his hand and said: "If the Haaland family wants to become a great nobleman in northern Xinjiang, they must have a sense of the overall situation, and we will take the initiative to participate in next year's army transportation work and operate at cost price." There are many businesses that make money in the family, and there is no need to make a profit on the main legion. When the orcs invaded, to a certain extent, we and the three main armies in the northern Xinjiang region were both prosperous and loss-oriented. ”

After Gavin's debriefing, it was Layton's turn.

Leiden is responsible for the work of the Territory Brick Kiln, Lime Kiln, Glass Kiln, Coke Kiln, and Wood Distillation Kiln. These kilns, which were basically concentrated in William's Territory, were transplanted to the vicinity of Fort Gundo since the previous year.

Fort Ryodan is the core of the northern defense line of the Harland Territory, in the heart of the swamp basin and the city of flowers.

If the orcs invade from the direction of Haaland's territory, the fort is a stronghold that the orcs must conquer, otherwise the road will be unstable.

The Fort has a geographical advantage, an organizational advantage over the human army compared to the orcs, and an equipment advantage for the soldiers in the Harland territory.

Even with a legion of orc troops, Richard still had the confidence to hold the fort.

That's why he transplanted part of his industry to the Soldier Station Fort to support the construction of a swamp basin and a city of flowers nearby.

"Last year, the construction scale of the territory was very large, brick kilns, lime kilns, cement kilns and other kiln factories combined, a total of 2,000 gold coins of profit, glass kiln income is the highest, although we have reduced the price, because the demand for building glass is too great, last year earned 3,000 gold coins, I am responsible for the kiln factory, a total of 5,000 gold coins profit."

The fruit business is relatively stable, and now there are fresh fruits, candied fruits, dried fruits, canned fruits, etc. in the Haaland territory, and the main consumer markets are in Heihe Fort, Flame Fort, plus Haaland Territory.

The wild orchards on both sides of the Haaland Valley have been carved out by Richard as fruit plantations. Limited by the production of fruits, the fruit park can earn a profit of 4,000 gold coins a year.

If you want to expand the income of fruits, you can only plant more fruit trees and expand the area of fruit parks, but due to the restrictions of the consumer market, it is difficult to increase the income of fruits significantly.

Because of the cultivation of the little queen bee, the income of the hemostatic ointment this year has also increased to 5,000 gold coins, the little queen bee grows up year by year, the output of royal jelly will increase year by year, and the hemostatic ointment still has a large room for improvement.

The burn ointment is still being tested on humans, and it has not yet made a profit this year.

The rose perfume produced in the City of Flowers has opened a market in Heihebao and has been sold well in the three northern provinces, but the number of noble ladies is small, and the perfume income only earns a profit of 1,000 gold coins this year.

There are a large number of wild roses outside the city of flowers, and it is impossible to digest them by relying on the markets of the three northern provinces.

If the market is lowered and let ordinary people use it, it will lose its compulsion. This kind of luxury, once there is no compulsion, can not earn excess profits.

In order to maintain his compulsion, Richard was ready to sell rose perfume to the royal capital, but it was difficult to find a noble lady who sold perfume in an unfamiliar market.

This year's income from the territory has reached 267,500 gold coins, and even if you exclude the 6,000 magic crystals exchanged for capturing the lion, the income of the territory is close to 210,000 gold coins.

The income of 210,000 gold coins is close to that of the southern counties.

Several counts in the south, the two weakest counts, have an annual income of less than 200,000 gold coins.

Today, the economic strength, population size, and combat effectiveness of the Haaland family are roughly equivalent to the level of the Southern Earl.

This year's income is more than 260,000 gold coins, and the expenses are also very staggering.

It costs 52,000 gold coins to buy slaves, and 1,000 magic crystals to buy 100 castrated iron wildebeests.

There are now 7,000 soldiers in Haaland's territory, and about 4,000 freedmen soldiers who have made great achievements

These 4,000 soldiers are paid more than 50,000 gold coins a year, and the logistics supply of 7,000 soldiers also needs 20,000 gold coins.

Feeding 7,000 regular soldiers costs 70,000 gold coins a year, and when the indentured slave soldiers become freemen, the cost of raising the army will increase.

In addition, this year, Richard also distributed about 8,000 gold coins to the disabled and dead soldiers.

The number of bureaucrats in the territory, about less than a thousand, was paid a salary of 10,000 gold coins.

At the end of the year, when the accounts were settled, this year he had accumulated 110,000 gold coins.

110,000 gold coins lying in the vault of various parts, this year's Richard has unprecedented wealth, of course, there is no need to stare at the three melons and two dates in Mrs. Aura's hands, and simply pay off the thousands of gold coins owed to Mrs. Aura over the years.

In the past few years, Mrs. Ola has been borrowed money by Richard every year, and this year she finally saw the money back, and Richard finally regained her credibility in her heart.
