After educating their daughter, Richard and Sophia returned to their temporary residence together.

Although the No. 9 military station is the front line, Richard still has a very good living environment, although his residence is not luxurious, it is also a complete courtyard, there are more than a dozen large and small brick and stone houses, adding up to hundreds of square meters.

Sophia took out a parchment book from the space pouch and handed it to Richard.

"You didn't attend this year's annual financial meeting, I brought the minutes with me, you have time to look at them."

Richard looked through the minutes of the meeting, and the first page was the population data compiled by the Household Registration Department.

After the invasion of the northern steppes, the territory rescued 230,000 slaves and incorporated them into the county of Martins, which also increased by 6,000 people, and after the winter, the Harland territory also received thousands of displaced people from the Eagle Mountains.

This year's newborns are also close to 70,000, plus Richard took out 50,000 gold coins to buy 10,000 slaves. Thousands of freedmen have also migrated from other territories, and according to the statistics of the household registration department, there are more than 1,83,600 people in the Haaland territory this year.

With a population of 1.8 million, the population of Haaland's territory has ranked third in the Kingdom of Grant, after the royal family and the Duke of York.

Originally, Duke Jonathan had a population of 2 million, more than Duke Haaland, but a few years ago, 40,000 troops were moved to the Grand Duchy of Starnik, and more than 200,000 people were lost counting family members.

In addition, part of the territory was assigned to the Haaland family, and the population was lost by sixty or seventy thousand, plus some nobles migrated to the Grand Duchy of Starnik, and now the population loss of the Duke of Jonathan is very serious, and it is no longer comparable to the Duke of Haaland.

The Duke of York is located inland, and the territory is rich, with a population of more than three million, and if you want to catch up with the number of Duke of York, I am afraid it will take more than ten years of rapid development, and it is estimated that it will be impossible in the short term.

Out of a population of 1,800,000, there are already 810,000 free people. The field tax alone received more than 200,000 gold coins in taxes.

As the territory becomes more and more prosperous, the revenue from commercial taxes and customs duties is increasing rapidly, coupled with a very stable real estate tax, Haaland's tax revenue has increased very quickly this year, and it has reached more than 302,000 gold coins.

Haaland's most important income is the income from monopoly goods, not taxes.

This year's hunting of snow crystal fish, Haaland has another fist income-generating product.

By refining the Radiant Elixir, the army of Haaland's territory has not only increased by more than 800 professionals, but also the mercenary association, the demon hunting union, and the intelligence department have also strengthened their strength and cultivated more than 100 professionals. Counting these people, there are more than 1,000 new professionals in Haaland's territory this year.

In addition to the internal use of the territory, Richard also exchanged 46,000 gold coins of grain and ore from the nobles of Geda Province by trading Tenghui Elixir, traded 50,000 gold coins of extraordinary materials at the commodity fair, and took back more than 10,000 gold coins of materials and more than 30,000 gold IOUs from the hands of the domain vassals. A large amount of meritorious service and 84,000 gold coins in cash were recovered from the officers and men of the army.

Not counting the debts owed by the vassals, nor the exploits of the officers and soldiers of the territory, hunting snow crystal fish not only saved the territory a lot of expenses, but also brought more than 200,000 gold coins in profits.

Agriculture in Haaland's territory has also been smooth this year, although Martins County has delayed spring planting and has been able to sow only a few short-maturing beans, which are low and Richard needs to feed the 300,000 new people.

However, there was a lot of grain left over from the territory last year, and the total grain output of the territory this year exceeded one million tons, plus one or two hundred thousand tons of grain traded with the nobles of Geda Province, the grain in Haaland's territory was completely sufficient.

Even if a lot of military rations are consumed for transportation, the territory's grain reserves are still maintained at a very high level.

It's just that Haaland has increased his flour manufacturing industry, and this year he needs to feed the extra 300,000 people, and he can't sell grain for cash.

Although the grain could not be sold, the income from the flour manufacturing industry increased significantly.

Although the price of flour has been reduced by 15 percent this year, the wholesale price of flour in the territory has dropped to five gold coins per ton of flour, and the industry as a whole has reduced some profits, but it has increased by more than 100,000 free people, and the consumer market is still expanding rapidly.

Six state-owned flour mills handed over 140,000 gold coins of profits this year, and four private flour mills also paid 43,000 gold coins in taxes to the territory, but this part of the tax is counted in the tax revenue.

More than 90,000 square kilometers of land have been expanded, and the area of pastures in the Haaland territory has increased significantly. However, due to the restrictions of the consumer market, the production capacity of cattle and sheep cannot climb rapidly.

In the past few years, the sheep herd was too high, and Richard needed to find a way to sell mutton to Nolan and give up more than half of the profits.

Now that the consumer market has been cultivated, the breeding sector will naturally be stable.

Now in Haaland's territory, there are more than 300,000 sheep-shaped people, who are only slaves in their status. By squeezing more than 300,000 sheep and human slaves, the government-run ranch handed over 110,000 gold coins in profits.

This year, because of the outbreak of war, military production has increased significantly, coupled with the need to build railways, steel production capacity has once again exploded. By the end of the year, Haaland had produced 24,000 tons of steel and more than 40,000 tons of iron.

After the sharp increase in production, the price of steel products fell again, and the retail price reduction was not large, and the wholesale price was again reduced by 20 percent. Although prices have fallen, the steel manufacturing industry has increased its profits by 20 percent because of the large increase in production capacity.

This year, the steel department handed over 240,000 gold coins to the territory.

The market size of brown sugar has also begun to stabilize, and the brown sugar sales market has begun to become saturated, bringing 110,000 gold coins of profit to Haaland's territory this year.

The real estate industry is starting to flourish.

The real estate industry has a long industrial chain, involving masonry, cement, glass, wood and so on.

This kind of industry, which is related to people's livelihood, has a strong financial attribute attached to it, and Richard has always prohibited private companies from entering the real estate development market. The freedmen who moved into the new house had to pay Richard every year for the purchase of the house in installments, and this income was actually very stable.

This year, the income of the real estate market has surpassed the brown sugar trade, bringing 130,000 gold coins to the territory.

Because of the Southern War and the Orc invasion, the arms trade is still very prosperous, with more than 8,000 alchemy bombs sold, thousands of scorching ray guns, plus thousands of iron armor, a small amount of force field shields, and magic items. The sale of arms brought 120,000 gold to the territory.

Minting coins is also a lucrative industry, and Haaland's territory is still in a money shortage, with 110,000 gold coins minted this year and 100,000 vouchers printed.

Compared with last year, the residents of the territory have more confidence in the vouchers, and some vouchers have been circulated in the market in small quantities.

In addition to printing vouchers, Richard also introduced for the first time a portion of the treasury bonds, with an annual interest rate of 2 percent, which was very small, and the first issuance was only 60,000 gold coins, which were basically distributed to soldiers and civil servants.

As a result of the issuance of vouchers and treasury bonds, new markets have emerged, and there are already some bond merchants in the territory who buy vouchers.

The financial sector, such as coin minting, voucher printing, and treasury bond issuance, brought 260,000 cash proceeds to the territory this year.

This income is second only to the tax department.

Although this year is the second year of its establishment, the profit of the Duke of Haaland has exceeded 60,000 gold coins. It's just that Richard did not ask for this part of the profits to be handed over, and remained in the banking system to replenish the capital.

With the increase in the population of Haaland's territory, the market of the cotton spinning industry is also expanding, and this year, the cotton spinning industry has brought 80,000 gold coins of profit to the territory. The soap and soap industry is still increasing its production capacity, and it has handed over 60,000 gold coins in profits this year.

With the development of more than ten years, the medical level of Haaland's territory is well-known in the Grant Kingdom, and some nobles of Nolan are sick and have to go to Haland's hospital for treatment.

The level of medicine has made a name for itself, which has greatly helped Haaland to lead the pharmaceutical sales department. Nowadays, in the Kingdom of Grant, the medicines produced by Haaland have also become a very surgent commodity.

In addition to the two blockbusters of hemostatic ointment and painkiller pills, the drug research and development department of Haaland has successively researched more than a dozen new drugs, which have a certain market, and the drug sales department has handed over more than 100,000 gold coins in profits this year.

The coal industry is also steadily improving, especially the second coal mine in the Lothar Basin, which has increased its output to 100,000 tons this year. This year, the Harland Territory Exploration Department discovered a third coal mine in the upper reaches of the Burney River, and the construction of Shaft 1 has been completed, and the production of the first year of mining has exceeded 10,000 tons.

The output of Haaland led coal has reached 320,000 tons this year, and the three coal mines together have handed over 76,000 gold in profits.

The rest are basically some small and small industries, and they add up to a profit of nearly 200,000 gold coins.

Counting the 60,000 gold coins from the issuance of treasury bonds, Haaland received a total of 1.83 million gold coins in cash this year, not counting the 60,000 gold coins and treasury bonds, there are also 1.77 million gold coins, which is still an increase of 235,000 gold coins compared with last year.

Next year, production in Martins County will be restored, and more than 200,000 freemen will be added, and the fiscal revenue is estimated to increase dramatically, possibly exceeding the level of two million gold coins.

The financial income of nearly 1.8 million gold coins is already equivalent to one-third of the royal family. The royal family controls a population of more than 12 million people, has complete coinage rights, and has a variety of monopoly goods.

If the Kingdom of Grant had not had various local protectionist policies and practiced liberal trade, it would have been able to produce more than ten times as many commodities as the Harland Territory had now produced. It's just that everyone from the royal family to the territorial nobility is disgusted with the loss of precious metals, and has formulated a strict local protectionist policy to restrict the commodity market in Haaland's territory.

The market cannot be expanded, and Haaland can only make a small fuss, and can only rely on cultivating the domestic demand market, and cannot make too many excess profits.

Now in Haaland's territory, there are gradually voices calling for breaking local protectionism and opening up the portal, if it weren't for the Dawn Plane being an extraordinary world, I'm afraid that an otherworldly version of the Opium War has broken out.

With nearly 1.8 million gold coins in cash receipts, the expenditure of the territory this year is also very staggering.

Now there are 58,000 regular troops under the command of Haaland, and 55,000 soldiers with citizenship rights, leaving only 4,000 indentured slave soldiers. The 20,000 city defense troops and security forces on the front line, Richard also raised salaries and subsidies.

The salaries of the 90,000 soldiers in Haaland's territory reached 760,000 gold coins, plus the bounty of more than 100,000 gold coins issued, the total expenditure on military salaries was 910,000 gold coins.

In addition, the pension for the disabled and the families who died in battle also reached 45,000 gold coins a year.

The logistics expenditure of the 90,000-strong army is also a very large expense, and this year the construction of the defense line of the military station has consumed a lot of resources, and the transportation of materials to the front line has borne a huge additional cost, and a total of 250,000 gold coins have been consumed this year.

The consumption of military spending has exceeded 1.2 million gold coins, and if it were not for a significant increase in fiscal revenue, Haaland's territory would probably not be able to expand its army this year.

Military spending has increased too much this year, accounting for 65.8 percent of fiscal revenue, a significant increase compared with last year.

Military revenues exceed $1.2 million, and government spending is also rising.

Today, there are 12,000 civil servants in Haaland, and the salaries of these people plus welfare subsidies need to consume 140,000 gold coins. Because the burden of military spending was too heavy, Richard ordered civil servants to cut their salaries by 30 percent, reducing the salaries of civil servants to less than 100,000 gold coins, an increase of nearly 3,000 civil servants compared with last year, and the total expenditure barely increased.

This year, Haaland has added more than 300,000 people, one more Martins County, four more primary schools and one more secondary school.

Today, Haaland has 20 primary schools and five secondary schools, with more than 30,000 students.

If you want to popularize education, of course, you have to reduce the tuition fees, and now the annual tuition fee of Haaland Ling Primary School is only two silver coins, which is roughly equivalent to two weeks' salary for an adult man, which is about 180 catties of wheat.

Because of the low tuition fees, the education industry will of course lose money, and 30,000 yuan has been invested in the education sector this year.

Although the medical department admitted some wealthy foreign nobles, it could not make ends meet, and now there are more than ten hospitals in the Haaland Territory, and they also provide free medical treatment to indentured slaves.

The investment in medical treatment has exceeded 60,000 gold coins, and the burden is gradually increasing.

Because of the sale of Tenghui Elixir at the Commodity Fair, in exchange for 50,000 gold coins of extraordinary materials, this year, the funds of the Mage Association and the scientific research department have been reduced a little, adding up to about 80,000 gold coins.

In addition, an important investment this year is the construction of more than 30 kilometers of railways, and the construction of one kilometer of railways will cost 1,500 gold coins, and although the 30 kilometers of railways are very short, they still consume 50,000 gold coins. And investing in railways takes a long time to pay for itself

In addition to this, the territory has built several steamships this year, which cost more than 10,000 gold coins. Bought 10,000 slaves and consumed 50,000 gold in cash.

Overall, there are 240,000 gold coins left over this year, plus the 690,000 gold coins left over from last year. A huge sum of 930,000 gold coins has been saved in the treasury of the territory.

This year's hunt for snow crystal fish in the territory has consumed a lot of merit, which has undoubtedly reduced the cost of cash expenditure in Haaland's territory.
