Shortly after the Goddess's Birthday, Richard personally signed a decree pardoning this year's indentured slaves.

This year is also a great year for the pardon of indentured slaves, and five years ago, Harland led to participate in the southern conquest of the kingdom of Delon, and captured about 350,000 people. This year, this part of the population was pardoned six months ahead of schedule. In the three provinces of northern Xinjiang, about 320,000 freedmen remained in the two major territories of Edward and Fox, and there were 50,000 freedmen newborns, and the freedmen in Haaland's territory increased by 720,000.

In addition to the original 1.5 million free people, according to the demographic statistics sent by the civil affairs department, as of January this year, there were 2.22 million free people in Haaland's household registration, and the number of indentured slaves was roughly about 4.6 million.

The total number of people under the direct control of Haaland's territory is more than 6.8 million.

There are now about forty-six hereditary nobles under Richard's command, and these hereditary nobles together control about 600,000 people.

Haaland has a total population of about 7.4 million.

Trading territory with the royal family, although he gained the vast land of the eastern coastal forests and the access to the sea, lost more than 500,000 people in population, which was converted into about 2.5 million gold coins.

Because the statistics are so large, it is now only possible to approximate the population.

Haaland's territory has expanded by more than 400,000 square kilometers and increased its population by nearly 4.8 million. The number of civil servants is no longer sufficient. Especially in the past few months of merging the territory, the delivery of management rights, the demarcation of borders, demographics, food and coin storage, etc., have made Haaland's managers a little overwhelmed and busy.

During this time, the place has also become very chaotic. Some people have taken advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, obtained a lot of resources through various means, and obtained a lot of illegal wealth. Richard also understands this kind of chaos, after all, Richard didn't expect that in a few months, the territory would develop rapidly. Despite the early recruitment of a part of the civil service last year, the population of the territory has more than doubled, and there is naturally a great shortage of qualified managers.

Moreover, when I went to a new territory, I was still faced with the situation of being unfamiliar with the place, which naturally gave many people room to fish in troubled waters.

The bureaucrats who managed the place were all important assets of the great aristocracy, and Edward, Fox, and the royal family of Grant basically moved the entire family of the administrator when they went south.

Therefore, since last winter, Haaland has led a large-scale expansion of civil servants, and by bringing the old with the new, spreading to the new territory to be responsible for management, plus recruiting some management talents from the south, the number of civil servants in the territory has expanded by 12,000 in just a few months.

Today, there are more than 30,000 civil servants in Haaland's territory, but it is still very difficult to manage, and a large number of temporary personnel are employed in the new territory. In fact, the total number of people in the civil service system who eat the financial meal has exceeded 45,000.

In February of this year, Richard began to distribute large amounts of farmland held by Edward, Fox, Grant and other nobles to the new freedmen, and at the same time massively increased investment in education. Ten primary schools and four secondary schools were built, and today Haaland has 34 primary schools and 10 secondary schools.

The new schools are distributed in the three provinces of northern Xinjiang, the dukedoms of Edward and Fox, and mainly serve the freedmen who have been added this year. After all, indentured slaves did not have that political status, and the economic ability to go to school.

Ten new elementary schools have been built, and the number of new students enrolled has increased by nearly 7,000 compared to last year, and this year, the total number of new students who need to test their magical qualifications has reached about 20,000.

Based on the base of 20,000 people, two hundred and three apprentices with magical qualifications were selected. Counting the more than two hundred new apprentices, the size of the Haaland Leader Mage Association has exceeded nine hundred, which is a relatively large medium magic organization, and slightly worse than a large magic organization.

In the past, due to the small number of people, the training of magicians led by Haaland was basically an apprenticeship system of the traditional mage tower. With more and more new apprentices, Richard already had plans to establish an academy of magic.

After all, the magicians of the United Kingdom on the East Coast made a very deep impression on Richard, and in last year's war, Harland would also sum up his experience, and Richard naturally had to learn the merits of the enemy.

The headquarters of the Academy of Magic chose the swamp basin, and Richard himself served as the dean of the Academy of Magic, and Sophia, Wendinie, and Eve, the three high magicians, all served as vice presidents. But the main ones who are really responsible for managing and educating the students are Heath, Adrian, Roentgen, Capezon, Bella and other middle-level figures of the Mage Association.

The Academy of Magic also has an elementary school attached to it, and the teachers in this elementary school are selected from the older mage apprentices, who are responsible for teaching the new apprentices the basics of writing, mathematics, etc., and only after a year do they begin to teach meditation and get in touch with magic. In the third year, you will enter the research group of official magicians and receive training with official magicians.

The duration of the Academy of Magic is six years, and if you are promoted to a mage within six years, you will serve in the Academy of Magic, the Mage Guild, and the Magic Research Department, and the service period is ten years. If you still can't be promoted to a full-fledged mage within six years, you will be arranged to join the army mage corps in the military headquarters to undertake various tasks such as combat and healing, and the service period will be twenty years.

After serving in the army for twenty years, you can choose to quit and then enter the Academy of Magic to teach, or enter units such as the Mage Guild, the Demon Hunter Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Pharmacy Department, etc., and continue to serve the Harland Territory. You can also leave the Haaland Collar and go to other parts of the Dawn Continent. As long as the cultivation contract is fulfilled, the Harland Leader does not restrict the freedom of the magician.

From this point of view, Richard behaved very confidently and generously. He believed that as long as he created a suitable social environment for magical research and built a superior platform, he would naturally attract magicians to serve Harland, rather than forcing them to sign a lifelong service contract.

Heartfelt support in the heart and service on the surface are two working states, and Richard is very aware of this.

Compared with the nobles of the Dawn plane, Richard is more confident in his heart and less afraid of challenges.

Therefore, in terms of transcendent knowledge, he never cherishes himself, but especially likes to exchange for equal value.

Only with sufficient communication can a magical civilization develop.

In addition to establishing the Harland School of Magic in the swamp basin, Richard also rebuilt the Knight Academy in Dragon Canyon.

Last winter, the Knight Academy of the Kingdom of Grant had moved south with the royal family.

Richard graduated from the Knight Academy, and of course knew the benefits of this academy for cultivating talents.

Haaland led the training of warrior professionals, basically through the military, intelligence, law and order and other violent agencies. Soldiers who are able to begin learning breathing are roughly between eighteen and twenty years old.

In fact, at this age, there is already a slight delay for good seedlings.

For those who are gifted, the best age to learn breathing is between the ages of fourteen and sixteen.

There are even some nobles who will use some precious potions to help children lay a good foundation from an early age, stimulate their physical strength a few years in advance, and be able to practice breathing at the age of about twelve.

Richard and Hayden, the children who entered the Knight Academy to study, practiced the breathing method around 14 or 5 years, and basically worked hard in the first few years to lay the foundation for learning the breathing method.

According to Richard's observations, cadets who graduated from knightly academies generally had a better future than soldiers in the army. The reason why the military system can promote more than 1,000 professionals every year is entirely dependent on the huge population base.

The rebuilding of the Knight Academy can provide a place for some families with better qualifications and good conditions to train and educate professionals, although it may cause the spread and leakage of the breathing method, but it is conducive to the long-term development of the territory. Moreover, the apprentice-level breathing method, Richard also intended to spread and leak out in his heart.

After all, if you have learned the apprentice-level breathing method, you can only join the army and other violent institutions to develop if you want to progress.

Now there are more than a dozen melee types of extraordinary exercises mastered by Haraland, some of which are warrior breathing methods, and some are knight fighting qi methods.

There are seven kinds that can be promoted to the ninth order, and there are two sets of transcendent exercises that are the most precious, and they can be successfully promoted to the legendary realm.

Both of these breathing methods are from the United Kingdom of the East Coast, one is called the Agni Breathing Method, which can be cultivated to the second order of the legend, which was captured by Richard from Caesar of the Eunice family, and is said to come from the first ancestor of the Eunice family.

Another set of Legendary Dou Qi Techniques came from the hands of Markion, called the Divine Radiance Dou Qi Method, which could also be promoted to the second rank of Legends.

This set of fighting qi methods should be created and cultivated by Markian himself, and many of his experiences are recorded in it. However, if you want to cultivate this set of Dou Qi Method, the threshold is very high, and you need to awaken the knight bloodline with the Holy Light attribute before you can start cultivating.

After Markdeen was killed in battle, he left behind a space bag, which not only contained the Dou Qi method he practiced, but also a royal power seal that fell into Richard's hands.

Although he did not go through the relationship with the royal church, Richard already had eight royal seals through various means.

Two of them came from the Grand Duchy of Starnik, both exchanged with Archduke Jonathan. The remaining six came from the kingdom of Delon, and the two dukes, Hubble and Isaac, made a great contribution to Richard.

In last year's battle, Richard directly led his troops to destroy the two dukes of Isaac and Hubble, although some remnants escaped, but the most precious collections of the two dukes still fell into the hands of Haaland, including five royal seals, plus one captured from Markdian, and now the royal power seal is a precious prop, and Harland is no longer lacking.

In addition, after William was promoted to legend, he also wrote down a lot of experiences and experiences, plus the breathing method of the Northern Legion that Haaland had already mastered, it was barely half a set of legendary inheritance.

The reason why William's promotion to legend is difficult, with the help of the water of life, he almost overturned, and the mediocrity of his breathing method inheritance is actually very important. After all, the Northern Legion Breathing Method came from the Jonathan family, and it could only be promoted to the ninth order.

The exercises to promote the legend still need to be deduced by future generations.

Although William also had some experience, he did not deduce the complete legendary breathing method, and could only use the most brutal method to advance. If it weren't for the fact that Richard's magic level was equivalent to the close protection provided by a legendary mage, William's status would be very troublesome after he was promoted.

Of course, Sutton, the elven fighting qi method mastered by Sylph can only be cultivated by those with a high concentration of elven blood.

After the establishment of the Knight Academy, the dean Richard appointed Roman, and the vice president appointed Roland. The specifications and importance of the Knight Academy in Haaland are far from comparable to the Academy of Magic.

Because there are relatively few knights in the Harland Territory, compared to the Knight Academy of the Grant Kingdom, the Dragon Canyon Knight Academy established on the original site is relatively inferior in the training of knights.

Soon after the establishment of the two transcendent colleges, Richard began to negotiate with Rogge several times to reorganize the administrative divisions within the territory.

Before last year's southern expedition, Harland owned ten counties and more than thirty counties in East Grotta, West Grotta, Harland, Lothar Basin, Salt Lake, Southern Eagle Mountains, Martins, Parani, Snow Mountain, and Western Deep Forest.

Now that the eastern coastal plateau, the two dukedoms of Edward and Fox have been added, and the three provinces of northern Xinjiang are bound to readjust the division and divide the counties.

In the past, the Duchy of Haaland did not have provinces, and the highest administrative unit was the county.

The territory is administered by administrative units at the county, county, township and village levels.

Normally, the territory of a county is about 20,000 square kilometers, about the same size as Richard's previous city.

But now Haaland has 780,000 square kilometers of land and can already establish a provincial-level unit.

First of all, the coastal highland forest area, the establishment of the east coast province, this area is very vast, about 240,000 square kilometers, because of the deserted, undeveloped, only nameless, no further subdivision of counties.

In addition, it is the northern area of the Eagle Mountains, the area south of the Samba River, this area is also about 120,000 square kilometers, with more than a dozen front-line military stations as the core, the establishment of the Eagle Province, divided into the Snow Mountain, Roman, Bolun three counties, seven counties. The development time of Xiongying Province is relatively short, with a population of only more than 400,000 for the time being, mainly concentrated in the two counties of Huxi and Hudong of Xueshan County. Snow Mountain County is also the focus of the development of Eagle Province.

The counties of East and West Grotta were reunited into the province of Grotta, and the hereditary nobility near the Viscount of Sutton were placed under the administration of this province. Counting the territories of hereditary vassals, the province of Grotta covers an area of more than 90,000 square kilometers and is divided into three counties: East Grotta, West Grotta, and Elf County, with a total population of about 600,000.

Then there are the three provinces of northern Xinjiang, with a total area of more than 80,000 square kilometers, plus the population controlled by the hereditary aristocracy, the total population is about 2.3 million.

Richard merged the three provinces of northern Xinjiang into Heihe Province, which has three counties of Geda, Lahe, and Gascoigne, adding up to more than a dozen counties.

The former core territory of Harland, Harland County, Lothar Basin County, Salt Lake County, the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains, the Western Forest County, and Martins County were merged into the Central Province, with a total area of about 70,000 square kilometers. Despite being the smallest of the central provinces, it is the most elite area of the Haaland Territory, with a total population of 2.8 million people and a wealth of extraordinary resources.

The remaining county of Parani was merged with the two dukedoms of Edward and Fox into the province of Vera, with an area of about 180,000 square kilometers, divided into four counties: Parani County, Maple Leaf County, Roque County, and Eternal City County, which were developed by the two dukes of Edward and Fox for many years, with a total population of about 1.4 million.

After the readjustment of the administrative division, the Duchy of Haaland now has six major provinces: East Bank, Eagle, Heihe, Grotta, Central, and Vila, with more than 20 counties and more than 70 counties under its jurisdiction. The land area is larger than that of the Grand Duchy of Starnik, and the population is slightly smaller than that of the Grand Duchy of Starnik.
