Dealing with Don severely, Richard successfully set an example and upheld the seriousness of the law. However, it is already difficult to recover more than 10,000 tons of grain that have been stolen and sold, and the territory has increased its population by 250,000 this year, and the grain reserves are less than 100,000 tons.

Of the 100,000 tons of grain, 20,000 tons should be set aside for next year's grain planting, 13,000 tons of military grain should be set aside, and several thousand tons of liquor should be brewed. What was really left for indentured slaves was only 60,000 tons of grain.

Now there are 400,000 indentured slaves in Haaland's territory, and each person is only 300 catties on average, and 60,000 tons of grain is not enough at all.

Richard turned his head and asked Rogge, "How are you going to solve the problem of lack of food?" ”

"By the standards of previous years, we needed to buy 30,000 tons of grain to get through the difficulties. It's not a problem now, because we have a large number of sheep slaughtered this year.

This year, the number of sheep under our control has reached one million, and in addition to selling them in Heihe Fort, we have also sold some of them to Duke Jonathan as military rations, and more than half a million sheep have been slaughtered after winter, with a total of 20,000 tons of mutton in stock. With the addition of 20,000 tons of meat, it will not be a problem to maintain the harvest until next autumn. ”

Since last year, there has been a serious surplus of lamb in Haaland's territory. This year, more than a million sheep have been sheared and waiting to be slaughtered, and hundreds of thousands of people in Haaland's territory will not be able to eat them all.

It's like black humor.

However, Richard had seen a lot in his previous life and knew that in some areas this would indeed happen.

In the 19th century, the English colonists in Australia waited for the slaughter of more than 10 million sheep after the shearing season every year.

After the Spanish colonizers in South America slaughtered bison, they would only cut off the cow's tongue and eat it, not even the cowhide and tendon, and let the beef rot in the field, and this life lasted for about 300 years. Even in the 21st century, the average consumption of Argentine beef exceeds that of developed countries.

Although Haaland is a mountainous area, it has abundant precipitation and abundant resources, and tens of thousands of square kilometers of land can support hundreds of thousands of people, but it does not reach the upper limit of the population carrying capacity.

Although the agricultural potential of this region is modest, it is well suited for mountain animal husbandry.

After years of Richard's continuous support, the mountain animal husbandry in Haaland's territory has developed, which is equivalent to walking on two legs, and the ability to resist risks has naturally increased a lot.

Because of the increase in population by 250,000, this year's agricultural surplus needs to fill this hole, and it is naturally impossible to sell grain to the outside world in exchange for funds.

The steel trade was very profitable because of the war, and the output was slightly higher than last year, although Richard lowered the wholesale price slightly, and the profit was still more than 35,000 gold coins.

The market for woolen products is still not saturated this year, and the profit even exceeds that of steel, with a historic breakthrough of 40,000 gold coins.

Woollen products from Haaland's territory have been on the market for six or seven years, and many nobles have sent textile craftsmen to specialize in wool spinning techniques and have made original products.

The threshold of wool spinning technology is not high, this year wool spinning technology has begun to spread, many nobles are ready to raise sheep, this market can be monopolized for three or four years at most. Although the wool spinning technology in Haaland's territory is better, in other people's territory, it is impossible to compete with the nobles.

There is no free trade in the Dawn plane, a market economy, and the aristocracy will engage in commercial competition through political and military means. Because they had everything in their hands on the serfs, the nobles had almost no labor cost to engage in production. If the life dependence between serfs and nobles is not broken, the capitalists who have mastered advanced technology will not be able to compete with the feudal aristocracy at all.

There is extraordinary power in this world, and through the monopoly of extraordinary power, the strength of the aristocracy far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it is easy to suppress the resistance of serfs.

The aristocracy was disgusted with the outflow of gold coins, and tried every means to engage in a manor economy, a small peasant economy, preferring self-sufficiency and not buying goods from the outside world.

As long as the technology spreads, there will inevitably be copycats everywhere. In the foreseeable future, after three or four years, the wool spinning market will slowly decrease, and profits will gradually decline, just like the liquor trade, and it will take many years before it will return to its original level.

Nowadays, the livestock industry in Haaland's territory is developing rapidly, and this year 500,000 sheep were sold, of which 300,000 were sold to Duke Jonathan as military rations, bringing in a total income of more than 60,000 gold coins.

According to Richard's estimates, the wool spinning market can be monopolized for three or four years at most. Without the wool market, sheep farming lost a large part of the profit. Starting next year, Richard will arrange for the transformation of the wool business to produce more goods such as blankets and felts.

Because of the poor market prospects, sheep farming can not continue to expand.

In addition, the carrying capacity of the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains is close to the upper limit, and in order to avoid environmental damage, Richard is not ready to continue to expand the sheep population, maintaining the number of sheep slaughtered at one million per year. From next year, the Richard will reduce the purchase price of wool in the territory, collect a higher wool tax from the freedmen, and suppress the freedmen's enthusiasm for raising sheep.

More than 160,000 freemen have paid taxes in the Haaland Territory this year, and the income from the land tax has exceeded 40,000 gold coins, plus the income from real estate tax, commercial tax, and customs duties, the tax income has reached 53,000 gold coins. Sixty thousand indentured slaves will become freedmen next spring, and with the addition of the new wool tax, the tax revenue will increase considerably.

This year, the production of brown sugar exceeded 1,400 tons, and the market also expanded to Nolan, even though the wholesale price dropped by another copper coin, and the total profit exceeded 30,000 gold coins for the first time.

The brown sugar tree is a forest resource monopolized by Haaland's territory, and the threshold for this industry is very high, only the big nobles have the ability to develop this industry and compete with the Harland family, and the small nobles don't even have magicians, so they can't pass the level of cultivating seeds at all.

The ceiling of this industry is also very high, and the market is expanding every year, and the speed of development is very fast. The potential of the brown sugar industry is far from exhausted, and in a few years, the annual income will exceed 100,000 gold coins, becoming an important commodity in Haaland's territory.

Richard attached great importance to the brown sugar plantations, and specially sent soldiers to patrol and prohibit outsiders from approaching. Nowadays, the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom do not know the process of brown sugar production, and they have not found the precious economic tree species of brown sugar tree. Even if the brown sugar manufacturing process is leaked, it will take at least ten years to produce enough goods to compete with Haaland's territory.

With a buffer of more than ten years, Haaland's territory will produce more than tens of thousands of tons of brown sugar, sinking the market to the freedmen class, leaving competitors with little profit.

The income from hunting demonic beasts is still unstable, and this year with good luck, the demon-hunting team hunted several mid-level demonic beasts and successfully caught more than a dozen iron wildebeests, in addition to the bonus to the demon-hunting team, brought a profit of 14,000 gold coins to the Harland territory.

Because of the interference of the war, the research of the magic crystal charging technology did not develop too quickly, and although the efficiency was increased a little, the total income was only 12,000.

Because of the expansion of the territorial market and the expansion of the army, the profits of the liquor industry have increased a lot, and there are even 18,000 gold coins, which is the highest level in history.

Because of the war, the price of various materials has risen, and the income of hemostatic ointment has skyrocketed, and the profit has reached 26,000 gold coins.

The hemostatic ointment is a strategic resource in the Grant Kingdom, and the market is always in short supply, the three major legions control one-third of the share at a low price, and the army of Haland's territory deducts one-third, and the share put on the market cannot meet the huge demand at all.

This year, because the price of war hemostatic ointment has skyrocketed threefold, the profit brought is very considerable, plus other medicines in Haaland's territory, the medical income this year is 32,000 gold coins.

After so many years of development, relying on the relatively developed level of medical research in the territory of Haaland, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry has gradually grown into an important industry in the territory. The variety of medicines is becoming more and more abundant, and it also brings more and more profits.

Because of the intervention in the war, the transportation industry is still developing rapidly, and Haaland's territory won a part of the military transportation order, plus the income from the sale of four-wheeled carriages, the profit is almost the same as last year, a total of 18,000 gold coins. Compared with last year, because of the emergence of a large number of copycats, the orders for four-wheeled carriages have decreased by forty percent, and the profit of military transportation orders has increased by thirty percent compared with last year.

Because of the increase in population, the output of the coal mines in the Haaland Territory is also increasing, with an annual output of more than 60,000 tons and a net profit of about 14,000 gold coins.

The increase in population has led to the development of the building materials industry, and the profits of masonry, cement and glass have all increased a lot, and the power of real estate has begun to appear.

This year, more than 30 small furniture factories have opened in Haaland's territory alone. These 30 or so furniture factories have led to an increase in the output value of the logging industry, and have also trained more carpenters for the territory. It is no wonder that countless countries in the past life are vigorously developing this industry. Real estate has a long industrial chain, which has greatly promoted the development of the national economy.

This year, these industries involving the downstream of real estate have added up to 26,000 gold coins, and have gradually grown into an important industry in Haaland's territory.

Rose perfume monopolizes the market of the Grant Kingdom, but the profit of this luxury business is far less than that of bulk commodities, and the market potential has reached its peak, and the market size is a little more than 20,000 gold coins, and the profit is 10,000 gold coins.

In the Haaland territory, perfume manufacturing has gradually developed into an important industry. The total number of people who serve this industry is about 1,000. This includes rose growers, perfume makers, merchandisers, and more.

Canned fruits, book printing and other miscellaneous and small industries brought in 7,000 gold coins, and the contribution to fiscal revenue was relatively small.

This year, the cash income of Haaland's territory totaled 369,000, an increase of 105,000 gold coins compared with last year.

Financial data shows that the industry in Haaland's territory has ushered in greater development this year.

Taxes, brown sugar planting, aquaculture, and pharmaceutical sales profits have almost doubled, the scale has expanded rapidly, and the market share has increased steadily.

This year, the cash income of Haaland's territory is close to 370,000, and the financial capacity is close to that of the four marquis in the east.

By next year, the power of the eastern county of the Grotta River will be integrated, whether it is military power or economic power, the strength of the Harland family will exceed that of the four eastern marquises, second only to several duke families in the country.

This year, 4,000 troops from the army of the Haaland Territory have participated in the battle, and military spending has increased considerably.

First of all, the expenditure on military salaries, which added up to more than 80,000 gold coins, and the consumption of logistics was far more than last year, and the materials consumed by the labor expedition were a huge amount, adding up to a total of 60,000 gold coins.

The collection of 5,000 captives required a large amount of armor, weapons, and pack beasts, adding up to more than 40,000 gold coins.

The pension for the dead and disabled soldiers has also increased this year, and now more than 3,000 soldiers have received subsidies for the dead and disabled, and the total annual pension has exceeded 9,000 gold coins, which is already a relatively large amount of money.

There are 4,000 auxiliaries in Haaland's territory, although the military salary of the auxiliaries is low, there is only one gold coin subsidy every year, but the auxiliaries are almost all trained in winter, and the cost of raising the army is relatively high, not only need to provide better food, but also need to provide winter military uniforms such as cotton clothes, cotton hats, cotton gloves, leather boots, etc., and 15,000 gold coins are also needed for military expenses a year.

Haaland's territorial intelligence, law and order and other paramilitary forces also add up to more than 3,000 people. The salaries of these people add up to a significant investment.

The intelligence services, in particular, have a high demand for funds, and many of them are unpopular. This year's funding for these paramilitary forces is as much as 25,000 gold coins

In addition to some scattered expenses, the investment in the military and intelligence departments alone has exceeded 230,000 gold coins this year, which is more than 60 percent of the fiscal revenue.

The number of territorial bureaucrats has increased by five hundred this year, bringing the total number to more than two thousand. Among the bureaucrats who have been recruited this year are a large number of graduates of riverside elementary schools, as well as a large number of veterans and disabled soldiers.

The army in Haaland's territory has cultural and educational courses, and some literacy activities are held. After working in the army for a few years, I can basically know most of the characters and understand official documents.

Compared with the officials who were originally selected from slaves, these newcomers were of higher quality, and at least the literacy rate was greatly improved.

More than 2,000 bureaucrats spent more than 20,000 gold coins on salaries. A subsidy of 8,000 gold coins was also issued for government office expenses. Coupled with miscellaneous funds, it added up to 30,000 gold coins.

Because a primary school, a middle school, and a new hospital have been built this year, and more than 20,000 gold coins have been invested in education and medical care.

Because of the impact of the war, most of the members of the Territory Mage Regiment participated in the war, and the research on magic was stagnant for half a year, and the research funds were only half of last year's, about 10,000 gold coins. However, the funds of the major research institutes in Haaland's territory have increased more this year, adding up to a total of 12,000 gold coins.

Counting the miscellaneous expenditures, a total of 304,000 gold coins have been spent this year, and the fiscal surplus is about 65,000 gold coins, counting the funds saved last year, the financial surplus of Haaland's territory has been 100,000 gold coins.
