For a short time, Haaland's territory could only walk on two legs.

While the Chemical Research Institute continued to do research to separate various extracts from coal tar, the condensation system was improved to improve the efficiency of coal tar collection. In addition, the cultivation of natural dyes can not be delayed, after all, chemical dyes cannot be produced for a while, and dyed cloth made of natural dyes can avoid capital outflow.

There are more than 200,000 freedmen in Haaland's territory, and many of them have very high incomes. The lack of satisfaction with the luxuries needed by high-income people will only lead to an outflow of funds.

At the end of the year, Richard once again convened the civil officials of the territory to hold a financial meeting, and the reason why officials from other systems were invited was mainly to give everyone a comprehensive understanding of the development of the territory.

Last year, Haaland's territory added 230,000 people, and this year's influx of people into the territory is about 70,000.

Forty-six thousand people came in because of the plague, 20,000 were serfs purchased by the fair, and 4,000 were high-quality people who voluntarily migrated to Haaland's territory.

Not counting the population brought about by natural reproduction, there have been 300,000 people in the last two years, accounting for almost half of the total population.

According to the statistics of the civil affairs department this year, the Haaland territory already has a population of 660,000, and the fertility rate this year is about 4 percent. Even if indentured slaves were not purchased from outside, the population of Haaland's territory would naturally increase by more than 20,000 people.

In recent years, the Haaland Territory has purchased more than 100,000 serfs from the slave market, about a quarter of the slave trade market. Through Richard's hands, he sent about 800,000 gold coins to the slave traders such as Duke Guise.

Because of the high demand in the Haaland domain, the slave trade expanded by a quarter, surpassing the population tax and becoming the most important tax in the Duchy of Guise.

Every year, a lot of income has increased, two years ago, Duke Guise expanded his army by 6,000, purchased a large number of armor, bows and arrows, and increased his weapons and equipment, and increased his efforts to plunder the kingdom of Delong.

Because of the influx of population, this year the Haaland territory has increased the intensity of land reclamation, reclaimed 400,000 mu of arable land, and successfully developed potash mines, and the large use of potash fertilizer has increased grain production.

The annual grain output exceeded 225,000 tons, ushering in a bumper harvest.

But 95,000 tons of this grain were produced by the freedmen, and the territory of Harland was close to 230,000 freemen, and the land allocated to the freedmen was more than 1 million acres, which was already more than half of the total cultivated area. If it weren't for the fact that the freedmen had grown a lot of cash crops, the proportion of food produced would have been higher.

Despite the significant increase in food production, there is still no surplus in agricultural production this year because of the increase in the number of people who have increased so much.

The livestock industry also suffered heavy losses due to a sudden plague, and the officially controlled pastures in the Haaland territory slaughtered only 600,000 sheep a year, a reduction of about half.

The free people who raised sheep suffered greater losses, because the cost was smaller, the ability to resist risks was low, and when they encountered a sheep plague, the losses were almost unbearable.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Animal Husbandry, more than one million sheep may have died of the plague last year.

Such a heavy loss greatly discouraged the free people from farming.

Before the plague, there were about three million sheep in the herd of the officials and civilians of the Haaland Territory, and three million sheep could be slaughtered each year. After a plague, the stock and slaughter were all reduced by about half.

This is the case in aquaculture, where the stakes are very high.

Cattle and sheep are already livestock with less plague, and the risk of raising chickens and pigs is higher.

Of the 600,000 sheep slaughtered, the army consumes more than 100,000 heads, officials, researchers, teachers, and factory management consume some of them, and only about two-thirds of them can be put on the market.

Moreover, this year's grain surplus is relatively small, and it is still necessary to store some mutton in winter, and there are only 200,000 sheep sold in the Heihebao market, which are about 20,000 yuan in gold coins.

Compared to previous years, income from livestock farming has fallen by two-thirds, which has had a significant impact on the fiscal revenues of the Haaland territory.

This year's steel industry, although there is no war, but because of the increase in a large number of population, the domestic demand market is very strong, especially the real estate industry, the ability to drive the economy is extremely prominent.

In the last two years, the number of freedmen has increased by 100,000, and all of them need to build their own houses. The demand for steel and ironware increased significantly, and although Richard continued to reduce the wholesale price of steel, the steel production in Haaland's territory exceeded 4,500 tons, bringing in 40,000 gold coins.

Compared with when the territory was first established, the price of steel has fallen to about 30% of the original price.

According to the current development rate of Haaland's territory, once the steam engine is used in steelmaking, the output will usher in a sharp increase, and the steel price will usher in a huge decline.

Although the market for woolen products is not saturated, it is affected by sheep plague, and the output has decreased by about half. Because of the lack of production, the price of woollen products has increased by 40 percent, and this year's income is only 28,000 gold coins, which is slightly worse than last year.

Hit by the plague, many nobles who were ready to raise sheep and manufacture woolen products suffered heavy losses, and some nobles who did not have enough family resources decided to withdraw from this industry.

The Haaland Territory has two pillars, agriculture and animal husbandry, and is the bulk of the tax contribution. In the past few years, the income and expenditure of the territory almost completely relied on these two legs. Last year, although there was no agricultural surplus, animal husbandry brought 60,000 gold to the territory.

This year, agriculture and animal husbandry, which have made huge contributions to the finances, have both lame, and the largest contributor is already tax revenue.

There are 228,000 freemen in the whole year, and there is a tax of 57,000 gold coins from the land tax alone, plus the income from customs duties, commercial taxes, and real estate taxes, and this year's tax revenue has reached 75,000 gold coins, which is the largest revenue of the territory this year.

The growth of the brown sugar trade is also very good, with production increasing by about 50 percent compared to last year. As the brown sugar trees continue to grow taller and the brown sugar plantations continue to expand, the rapid growth in production can continue for a long time.

This year, the output of brown sugar is 2,200 tons, and in order to absorb the increased production capacity, the Haaland territory continues to reduce prices and export to the outside world while expanding the domestic demand market. Not only did the Grand Duchy of Starnik double its exports, but the Nolan market also completely crushed honey, with a total profit of about 40,000 gold coins.

This year, the magic crystal charging technology has improved, and the efficiency has increased to about six percent, plus Fort William built the Mage Tower and installed the third set of magic crystal charging equipment, and the annual income has increased by 25 percent compared to last year, which is about 15,000 yuan in gold coins.

The magic crystal is a very important strategic reserve, and the Haaland territory will naturally not exchange the magic crystal for gold coins. In addition to charging magic items, these magic crystals are used for scientific research.

This year, I was lucky enough to catch a seventh-order demon crocodile and a large group of iron wildebeests, and in addition to the prize money given to the demon hunting team, the Haaland territory received an income of about 20,000 gold coins.

The eyes of the seventh-order demon crocodile can refine the magic eye potion, although the effect of this elixir is not as good as the life evolution potion, it is also of great help to the sixth-order warrior to break through the seventh-order.

Richard was already a sixth-order warrior, but from the attribute panel, he knew that his accumulation was far from enough. The magic eye potion could only be kept for half a year, and eventually the potion was traded by Richard in exchange for a few precious magic minerals.

This year, the Haaland Territory launched three commodities, the first was the Alchemy Bomb, which sold 2,000 pieces, bringing the territory a net income of about 20,000 gold coins.

The second is soap, soap, there is a large amount of animal fat in the Harland territory that cannot be consumed now, plus the territory has a salt lake mine, which can produce a large amount of natural soda ash, and the cost of producing soap is low, and Richard did not sell it at a high price, and this new commodity also brought 16,000 gold coins to the Haaland territory.

The third is dyed cloth, dyed cloth is a luxury in the Grant Kingdom, and the dyed cloth produced in the Harland territory is only sold within the territory and the four provinces of northern Xinjiang, and the market size is small, with a net income of only about 6,000 gold coins.

Although the Haaland Territory was the first to invent highly distilled spirits, it can now only be sold in the domestic market. Even the markets of the four northern provinces have many competitors. This year, the domestic demand market has expanded, the army has expanded, and the market for liquor has increased considerably, and the profit has reached about 24,000 gold coins.

Because of the plague epidemic in the summer, the Haaland territory sold drugs to suppress the plague, and this year was also a very important income, but by the time the medicine was developed, the plague was almost over, and this medicine brought Haaland the income of 12,000 gold coins.

In the spring of this year, a new baby queen bee hatched in Haraland's territory, and the production of hemostatic ointment continued to increase, although the price was reduced by 20%, the profit stabilized at about 25,000 gold coins.

In addition to these two star medicines, Haaland's territory also has burn ointments, antidiarrheal medicines, painkillers, and more. This year's drug sales in Haaland's territory brought in a profit of 45,000 gold coins. The pharmaceutical trade has gradually become the fist industry of Haaland's territory, an important income.

This industry has a very high threshold, it is a typical high-tech industry, even if other people want to copycat, it is very difficult, after all, other big nobles, basically have no chemistry and medical foundation.

The transport industry lost orders from the military, and the four-wheeled carriages were also contested for the market by a large number of knockoffs, and the total profit was reduced by almost forty percent, with only 11,000 gold coins in revenue.

The output of the coal mine exceeded 80,000 tons, an increase of 30 percent over last year, the number of miners did not increase, the efficiency improved a lot, and the net profit was handed over to 20,000 gold coins.

With the use of steam machinery, the output of coal mines will increase significantly next year, and profits may about double.

The number of freedmen increased dramatically, which led to the development of real estate. There are many chains behind real estate, masonry, cement, glass, furniture, etc., which involve the downstream industries of real estate, and this year brought 30,000 gold coins to Haaland's territory.

The perfume industry is still very stable, the market size is relatively small, there are no competitors, and the profit is relatively stable, about 10,000 gold coins.

With the expansion of schools and hospitals, the amount of paper used in Haaland's territory is increasing, and small industries such as book printing, paper manufacturing, and fruit products have earned about 10,000 gold coins this year.

All in all, the cash income of Haaland's territory this year is about 430,000 gold coins, an increase of 60,000 gold coins compared with last year, and the growth rate is about 16 percent.

Judging from the financial data, the industry in Haaland's territory is becoming richer and richer, and it is no longer dependent on one or two commodity incomes.

This year, there is a cash income of 430,000 yuan, and there is also a huge financial expenditure.

First of all, military expenditure, with the development of time, there are more and more free civilian soldiers, this year the territory has more than 8,000 military salaries, military salary expenditure about 100,000 gold coins. In addition, the expansion of the army by 9,000 people was also a huge logistical expenditure, and 70,000 gold coins were spent on the construction of food, clothing, and barracks alone.

The weapons and armor of the 4,000 recruits, the war horses and pack beasts, the expansion of the Warcraft cavalry, etc., add up to 50,000 gold coins.

Richard raised the standard of disability and pension, and the pension has been increased to about 12,000 gold coins this year.

This year, 2,000 auxiliary soldiers have been expanded, and although the remuneration of auxiliary soldiers is relatively low, the cost of raising the army for 6,000 auxiliary soldiers for a year is about 20,000 gold coins.

Although the paramilitary forces such as intelligence and law and order have not been expanded this year, they will still need to spend 25,000 gold coins.

In addition, the Harland Territory is preparing to make hundreds of Scorching Ray Guns, and it also needs to reserve a part of the Blood Steel and Magic Crystal, which will cost about 12,000 gold coins.

Counting some expenditures on logistical reception, intelligence purchase, and so on, this year's investment in military spending alone amounted to 296,000 gold coins, accounting for about 69 percent of the fiscal revenue. The proportion is higher than last year.

Seventy percent of the fiscal revenue is used for military spending, resulting in a lack of funds for education, medical care, and civil affairs departments, and slowing down the pace of development. But to survive in the North, no matter which lord you are, you need to maintain the highest investment in the army.

The military strength is not enough, no matter how well the territory develops, no matter how rich it is, it is all fat in other people's mouths.

In addition to the huge military spending, the Haaland territory has invested 13,000 gold coins in education and medical care this year.

The number of government officials increased by three hundred, and the expenditure on officials' salaries increased by twenty percent to twenty-four thousand gold coins. Government office expenses and financial subsidies add up to about 10,000 gold coins.

Richard has increased his investment in scientific research this year, and the research funds for magic and science in the territory have reached 20,000 gold coins, accounting for about 4.6% of the fiscal revenue.

The financial statements of the Harland Mage Association this year are independent from the government department, and more than a hundred mages and mage apprentices are all high-income personnel, and their combined salaries are about four thousand gold coins.

In addition, this year, Haaland's territory also spent 100,000 gold coins to buy 20,000 serfs.

Over the course of the year, a total of 467,000 gold coins were spent.
