Chapter 313 Annual Summary
Through the changes in the stats panel data, if there are no major changes, Richard will be about thirteen months away from advancement.
Seeing that there was no big war recently, Richard didn't need to risk his progress. Therefore, this Holy Radiance Elixir Richard is ready to be preserved for those who need it more.
After the potion was distributed, time passed very quickly, and soon it was just before the goddess's birthday.
Before the goddess's birthday, the territory needs to make an annual summary and budget.
Despite the interference of the orc invasion, this year is still a year of great development for Haaland's territory.
After conquering the Lothar Basin, the population rescued was as high as 243,000, except for a small number of nobles, this part of the population was reduced to Haaland indentured slaves, counting the new population, the slaves purchased this year, and the immigrants from other territories. The permanent population of Haaland's territory is already as high as 980,000.
This population size, despite being at the bottom of the dukedom, was about 100,000 more than the most populous of the four eastern marquises, the Marquis of Creon.
With a population of nearly one million, the number of freedmen has also grown considerably.
This year was the year of the outbreak of war, and many indentured slave soldiers made great achievements and their families became freemen, a population of about 40,000, in addition to about 30,000 freedmen who had completed their service this year. Combined with the incoming population, there are about 310,000 freedmen under the leadership of Haaland this year.
Although the Haaland Territory has implemented a light tax policy, the land tax of 310,000 freedmen adds up to 77,500 gold coins, plus commercial taxes, customs duties, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, the tax revenue of the Haaland Territory this year has reached 110,000 gold coins.
300,000 freedmen received a tax of 110,000 gold coins, and if all the millions of people in the territory were converted into freemen, even if the light tax policy of the territory was continued, the tax revenue would add up to more than 300,000, enough to support the regular army of 15,000.
With the establishment of the Losa Basin, the amount of cultivated land under the leadership of Haaland increased by 3 million mu, although the yield per mu in the Losa Basin was lower, and the grain output increased by 120,000 tons. It's just that the population of the territory has increased more, and the surplus grain is only 80,000 tons. Of these, 50,000 tons of grain were exchanged by Richard for the population and distributed to resume production in the Nelson area.
Therefore, despite the sharp increase in grain production this year, only 30,000 tons of grain have been saved in agriculture, which has not been exchanged for cash.
A large number of sheep and sheep were captured in the Losa Basin, and more than one million cattle and sheep were captured.
Although last year's plague devastated Haaland's livestock industry, this year it has eaten a bite of fat in the Lothar Basin, almost recovering to the size of the year before.
This year, about 1.2 million sheep were slaughtered on government farms. Because of their small scale and small capital, it will take about three or four years for private farmers to recover.
Because the population has increased a lot this year, the consumer market has grown a lot, and the army has expanded a lot and the military consumption has increased, and the mutton market has not been unsalable. The army, the sheep consumed by the government, about 600,000 heads.
The remaining 600,000 heads are basically sold in the market, and in addition to Haaland's collar, the Heihe Fort market has also digested about 200,000 heads. The net income brought by animal husbandry to the territory this year adds up to about 60,000 gold coins.
Because of the war and the expansion of the army, the steel industry has developed rapidly this year.
Last year, Haaland successfully built a steam engine, and with the help of the steam engine, it greatly liberated the production capacity, according to the statistics of the steel plant, this year's steel production capacity in the territory has almost doubled, climbing to about 9,000 tons.
Because of the increase in a large number of population, the domestic demand market is very prominent, perhaps because Richard once again reduced the price of sales, this year's production capacity is not overcapacity, and steel products are not unsalable.
Now Haaland leads about six copper coins per kilogram of steel products, and the price of steel products has once again ushered in a big drop.
According to today's iron prices, ordinary strong laborers can buy one kilogram of steel in one day, and steel products can already enter thousands of households. Even if you buy steel pears, you only need to work for about 20 days.
More than ten years ago, when Richard first ran the territory, the price of a kilogram of steel was about a silver coin, and it often took a month or two of strong labor to buy a long knife in the army. Now the price of iron has dropped to 20 percent of what it used to be, and ordinary people have increased their incomes and are living far richer than they used to be.
If it goes well next year, Haaland's steel production capacity will exceed 10,000 tons, which is slightly more than the small blast furnace that Richard played with as a child.
A large number of new people have been added, and many indentured slaves have been regained their freedom every year, and these people have left the slave camps and have a need to buy iron products, compared to the large market of millions of people, 10,000 tons of steel production capacity is far from enough.
Although the price of steel products has fallen by 25 percent again, there are also 150,000 gold coins sold this year, because of the increase in productivity, it is still a violent project.
In addition to the need to pay the steelworkers, Harland only needed to pay a small amount of food, and the orc slaves would dig up the iron ore, and the steel trade brought in 145,000 gold coins this year.
Because Richard was a lord, state-owned enterprises such as steel mills only needed to pay operating profits, not taxes, and could crush orc prisoners of war to the death. Despite the reduction in prices, steel production is still profitable, and the profit is about 30 times the cost.
Because of the resumption of animal husbandry production, the production capacity of the woolen textile market has increased by about 80 percent, and the price of woolen cloth this year has fallen by 15 percent compared with last year, and the total profit has reached about 30,000 gold coins, although it is not as good as in previous years.
A few years ago, the largest financial contribution of the Haaland Territory was to the two pillars of agriculture and animal husbandry. The surplus in agriculture in the last two years has been largely used to feed the new population, and the livestock sector has not fully recovered from the blow. The largest contribution to the province's finances has been the steel industry and tax revenue.
After more than ten years of development, the profits from the brown sugar trade have also become an important income for Haaland's territory.
This year, the output of brown sugar in the territory has reached 3,500 tons, and according to the survey statistics of the Bureau of Statistics, the free people in the territory of Haaland consume an average of about five kilograms of brown sugar every year.
Relying on the domestic demand market, it can only digest 1,500 tons of brown sugar, and the remaining 2,000 tons of production capacity mainly rely on external sales.
In recent years, Haaland has not only dominated the northern Xinjiang market, but also expanded to the Nolan region, and even the Grand Duchy of Starnik has a strong enough agent.
Even though the wholesale price of brown sugar has dropped to five copper coins a kilogram, it still brings Haaland a net income of 45,000 gold coins this year.
The brown sugar market has not yet reached its limit, according to the average consumption of five kilograms of brown sugar per person, as long as there are millions of consumers, the brown sugar market capacity can reach more than 10,000 tons.
With the rate at which the Dukedom of Haaland is progressing, it may not take long to reach this goal.
Last year, the Haaland Territory built the Petrified Tower near Fort William, because of the installation of the legendary third-order dragon crystal, the income from the magic crystal charge skyrocketed, and this year's income from the magic crystal charge has been about 24,000 gold coins.
The Haaland Territory captured the Lothar Basin, and the entire central part of the Eagle Mountains became the territory of the Harland Domain.
All the magical beasts that live in this land are the property of Richard.
This year, the demon hunting team in the territory only counted the monster resources in this area, and Richard had already formulated a strict decree prohibiting the hunting of monsters for five years.
If it is not controlled, according to the current hunting intensity of the demon hunting team, the demonic beasts in this area may not last long.
One of the important revenues of Haaland's territory this year is the revenue from munitions, with 4,000 alchemy bombs and 200 scorching ray guns, bringing in a net income of about 56,000 gold coins.
The sales of soap and soap are also very good, because the increase in the number of sheep slaughtered has increased the raw materials of animal fat by about 80%. Despite the fact that there was no price increase, the market also expanded by eighty percent.
After last year's promotion, soap and soap have opened up the market, bringing 28,000 gold coins to Haaland's territory this year.
Last year, the Haaland coking plant was put into operation, and aniline violet was extracted from coal tar.
The effect of chemical dyes is far beyond that of natural dyes.
By this year, Haaland was able to use chemical dyes to make dyed cloth. It's just that the Grant royal family is producing this kind of commodity, in order to avoid impacting the economic interests of the Grant royal family, Richard did not produce dyed cloth on a large scale, mainly to develop the domestic market.
Throughout this year, due to the increase in the domestic demand market in the Harland Territory, coupled with the sale to the Grand Duchy of Starnik, the dyed cloth brought Richard about 10,000 gold coins.
Because of the increase in the domestic demand market and the expansion of the number of troops, the profit of the wine market has increased a lot, reaching about 30,000 gold coins.
This year, because of the war, the demand for trauma medicine in Haaland's territory has skyrocketed, whether it is burn ointment or hemostatic ointment, it has brought huge income to the territory.
Although the export of medicines is less than last year, the pharmaceuticals alone still brought Haaland 40,000 gold coins in income.
Thanks to the use of steam engines, the coal mine has almost doubled its production capacity, reaching 160,000 tons this year. Excluding the expenses on the mines, the total profit of the coal industry is nearly 40,000 gold coins.
The coal industry, like brown sugar and steel, is far from saturated. However, due to the limited mining methods, the annual output of the coal mines near Fort William could only be increased to 200,000 tons.
Only when a second coal mine is found will the production capacity continue to increase.
Because of the war, the transport industry is relatively prosperous, and even though there are now a large number of copycat four-wheeled carriages, this year this business has brought Haaland 15,000 gold in income.
Another important industry is real estate income.
Because of the skyrocketing population, the market demand for real estate is huge. Although Richard built a large number of houses every year according to the plan, the rapidly increasing population led to a far shortage of houses.
Real estate, together with downstream industries such as masonry and glass, brought 35,000 gold coins to the territory this year.
The perfume industry is still very stable, bringing Haaland an income of 10,000 gold coins. The rest of the chaotic industries, such as the sale of fruits, the sale of fresh fish, the printing business, etc., added up to 12,000 gold coins in income for the territory.
In this year's battle, he killed the legendary kobold, captured 5,000 magic crystals, conquered the Lothar Basin, and collected 60,000 gold coins.
Counting the 100,000 gold coins from the sale of grain, Haaland received 900,000 gold coins in cash this year, more than double last year.
It's just that the grain gold coins that sell the grain are exchanged for the population, whether it is the captured magic crystal or the income from the sunglasses charging technology, it is impossible to exchange it for gold coins, and it can only be stored in the treasury.
The real cash gain is only 690,000 gold coins.
Such a financial income is second only to the Duke of Edward, and slightly more than the Duke of Fox. Compared with last year, this has increased by about 60 percent.
Despite the cash proceeds of six hundred and ninety-thousand, not much money actually went into the coffers.
In the war this year, Haaland led about 2,000 people killed in battle, hundreds more were disabled, and the number of pensioners increased to more than 9,000. According to the standard set by Richard last year, the standard of pension for the dead soldiers has been raised, and the pension that needs to be spent this year is as high as 20,000 gold coins.
In addition, there are many soldiers who have been rewarded for meritorious service this year, and they have laid down the Lothar Basin and awarded 30,000 gold coins.
The expenditure on military salaries was an astronomical amount, with as many as 18,000 soldiers receiving military salaries, and a salary of about 200,000 gold coins was required.
This year's expansion of the army by 7,000 people is also a huge expenditure in terms of logistics and materials, adding up to about 70,000 gold coins.
In addition, to support 25,000 regular troops, logistics support also required about 50,000 gold coins in the previous year.
The resources invested in auxiliaries, intelligence, public security, and other aspects are also not a small amount, and in addition to the resources consumed by the armament department, 80,000 gold coins were spent last year alone.
Taken together, there were as many as 450,000 gold coins spent on the army, accounting for 65 percent of the total income.
Sixty-five percent of the military expenditure was spent, and the remaining thirty-five percent was spent on civil affairs.
This year, Haaland led a massive expansion of the bureaucracy, with more than 5,000 civil servants and a salary of about 40,000 gold coins.
There are a total of 10 primary schools and 2 middle schools in the territory, and even if they charge a certain amount of tuition, they have invested 10,000 gold coins in education this year. In terms of medical treatment, two new hospitals were built, and about 8,000 gold coins were invested.
The government's office expenses and various subsidies add up to about 13,000 gold coins.
Despite the war this year, Richard still increased his investment in various scientific research institutes, and the total amount of scientific research funds was 25,000 gold coins, accounting for 3.6 percent of the fiscal revenue.
In terms of proportion, this is much lower than last year, when scientific research funds accounted for 4.6 percent of the total fiscal revenue.
Although the Haaland Mage Guild is small, the magicians are all high-income personnel, and the salary and bonus add up to six thousand gold coins.
Added up in bits and pieces, this year's financial expenditure is 552,000 gold coins, and the remaining gold coins are about 140,000.
Counting the gold coins saved before, there are now 180,000 in Haaland's collar vault, and the magic crystals add up to about 10,000.
In the last dozen years, Richard was the richest at the end of the year.
