Chapter 314 Annual Summary
According to the changes in the attribute panel data, if there are no major changes, it will take about thirteen months for Richard to advance.
Seeing that there has been no major battle recently, Richard does not need to take the risk to advance. Therefore, Richard is going to save this Shenghui Potion and leave it to those who need it more.
After distributing the potion, time passed very quickly, and soon it was before the goddess's birthday.
Before the Goddess's Birthday, the territory needs to make an annual summary and budget.
Despite the interference from the orc invasion, this year is still a year of great development for the Harland territory.
The Losar Basin was conquered, and a population of 243,000 was rescued. Except for a small number of nobles, this part of the population became indentured slaves in the Harland Territory. Counting the new population, the number of slaves purchased this year has increased from Immigrants from other territories. The permanent population of Harland Territory has reached 980,000.
This population size, although at the bottom among the duchies, is about 100,000 more than the Marquis of Crean, which has the largest population among the four eastern marquises.
The population is close to one million, and the number of free citizens has also grown greatly.
This year is the year when the war breaks out. Many indentured soldiers have made military exploits and their whole families have become freedmen. This population has about 40,000 people. In addition, there are about 30,000 freedmen who have completed their service this year. Including the immigrant population, there are about 310,000 free people in Harland's territory this year.
Although Harland led the implementation of a light tax policy, the total land tax of 310,000 free people was as high as 77,500 gold coins. In addition to commercial taxes, customs duties, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, Harland The territory's tax revenue this year has reached 110,000 gold coins.
Three hundred thousand free people received a tax of 110,000 gold coins. If all one million people in the territory were converted into free people, even if the territory's light tax policy continued to be implemented, the total tax revenue would be more than three hundred thousand, enough to support a regular army. Fifteen thousand.
After the Losa Basin was conquered, the number of cultivated fields in Harland's territory increased by 3 million acres. Although the yield per mu in the Losa Basin was low, grain production increased by 120,000 tons. However, the population of the territory has increased significantly, and the remaining grain is only 80,000 tons. Fifty thousand tons of grain were exchanged by Richard for population and distributed to resume production in the Nelson area.
Therefore, despite the large increase in grain production this year, only 30,000 tons of grain have been saved in agriculture and have not been converted into cash.
They captured the Lothar Basin and captured a large number of satyrs, and more than a million cattle and sheep were seized.
Although Harland's livestock industry suffered a heavy blow due to the plague last year, this year it took a bite of fat in the Losa Basin and almost recovered to the scale of the previous year.
This year, about 1.2 million sheep were slaughtered on government-run farms. Private farmers, because of their small scale and lack of funds, will need about three or four years to recover.
Because the population has increased significantly this year and the consumer market has grown a lot. In addition, due to the expansion of the army and the increase in military consumption, the mutton market has not been slow to sell. The army, and the government, consumed about six hundred thousand sheep.
The remaining 600,000 head were basically sold in the market. In addition to Harland Territory, the Black River Fort market also digested approximately 200,000 head. The net income that animal husbandry brought to the territory this year totaled about 60,000 gold coins.
Due to war and military expansion, the steel industry has developed rapidly this year.
Last year, the Harland Territory successfully built a steam engine. With the help of the steam engine, productivity was greatly liberated. According to statistics from the steel plant, the territory's steel production capacity has almost doubled this year, climbing to about 9,000 tons.
Because of the large increase in population, the domestic demand market is very prominent. Perhaps because Richard has cut prices again, there is no excess production capacity this year, and steel products are not unsalable. Today, Harland's steel products are about 66 per kilogram
. Copper coins, the price of steel products once again experienced a huge drop.
According to today's iron price, an ordinary strong laborer can buy one kilogram of steel in one day's work, and steel products can already be found in thousands of households. Even if you buy a steel pear, you only need about twenty days of work.
When Richard first ran the territory more than ten years ago, the price of one kilogram of steel was about one silver coin. Purchasing a long military sword often required a month or two of hard work. Today, the price of iron has dropped to 20% of its previous level, and ordinary people's incomes have increased, and their lives are far richer than before.
If development goes well next year, Harland's steel production capacity will exceed 10,000 tons, which is slightly more than the small blast furnace that Richard played in when he was a child.
A large number of new people were added, and many indentured slaves regained their freedom every year. These people left the slave camps and all had the need to buy iron products. Compared with the large market with a population of several million, the production capacity of 10,000 tons of steel was far from enough.
Although the selling price of steel products has once again dropped by 25%, with sales of 150,000 gold coins this year, due to the improvement of productivity, it is still a violent project.
In addition to paying the steel workers, Harland only needs to pay a small amount of food, and the orc slaves will dig out the iron ore. The steel trade has brought in an income of 145,000 gold coins this year.
Because Richard is the lord, state-owned enterprises such as steel mills only need to pay operating profits and do not need to pay taxes. They can also squeeze orc prisoners of war to their death. Despite lowering prices, steel production is still hugely profitable, with profits about thirty times the cost.
Due to the recovery of animal husbandry production, the production capacity of the woolen textile market has increased by about 80%. The price of woolen cloth this year has dropped by 15% compared with last year. Although the total profit is not as good as in previous years, it has reached about 30,000 gold coins. .
A few years ago, the two main pillars of Haaland Territory's financial contribution were agriculture and animal husbandry. The agricultural surplus in the past two years has basically been used to support the new population. The livestock industry has been hit and has not yet fully recovered. The largest contribution to the territory's finances has been the steel industry and taxation.
After more than ten years of development, brown sugar trading profits have also become an important income for the Harland territory.
This year's brown sugar production in the territory has reached 3,500 tons. According to statistics from the Bureau of Statistics, freemen in the Harland Territory consume an average of about five kilograms of brown sugar every year.
Relying on the domestic demand market, only 1,500 tons of brown sugar can be digested, and the remaining 2,000 tons of production capacity mainly rely on external sales.
In recent years, Harland's brown sugar has not only dominated the northern Xinjiang market, but also expanded to the Nolan region. Even the Grand Duchy of Stanik has a strong enough agent.
Even though the wholesale price of brown sugar has dropped to five copper coins per kilogram, Harland still brought a net income of 45,000 gold coins this year.
The brown sugar market has still not reached its limit. Based on 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.
According to the development speed of the Duchy of Harland, it may not take too long to achieve this goal.
The Harland Territory built a petrified tower near Fort William last year. Because of the installation of the legendary third-order dragon crystal, the magic crystal charging income has increased dramatically. This year's income from sunglasses charging has been about 24,000 gold coins.
The Harland Territory captured the Lothar Basin, and the entire central part of the Eagle Mountains became the territory of the Harland Territory.
All monsters living in this land are Richard's property.
This year's demon hunting team in the territory only counted the resources of magical beasts in the area. Richard had already formulated a strict law prohibiting the hunting of magical beasts within five years.
If there is no restraint, according to the current hunting intensity of the demon hunting team, the demon beasts in this area may not last long.
An important income of Harland Territory this year is arms income. Four thousand alchemical bombs and two hundred searing ray guns brought a net income of about 56,000 gold coins. Sales of soaps and soaps are also very good. Due to the increase in sheep slaughter, animal fat raw materials have increased by about 80%. Although there was no price increase, the market also expanded by 80%.
After last year's promotion, new washing products such as soap and bar soap have opened up the market, bringing an income of 28,000 gold coins to the Haaland territory this year.
Last year, the Harland collar 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, Harland collar was able to use chemical dyes to make dyed cloth. It's just that the Grant royal family is producing this kind of goods. In order to avoid affecting the economic interests of the Grant royal family, Richard does not produce dyed cloth on a large scale and mainly focuses on developing the domestic demand market.
Throughout this year, due to the increase in domestic demand in the Haaland territory and sales to the Grand Duchy of Stanik, the dyed cloth brought Richard about 10,000 gold coins in income.
Due to the increase in the domestic demand market and the expansion of the army, the profit in the wine market has increased a lot, reaching about 30,000 gold coins.
This year, due to the war, the demand for trauma drugs in Harland Territory has skyrocketed. Whether it is burn ointment or hemostatic ointment, it has brought huge income to the territory.
Although the export of medicines was less than last year, the medicines still brought Harland a revenue of 40,000 gold coins.
Due to the use of steam engines, the coal mine's production capacity has almost doubled, and this year's output reached 160,000 tons. Excluding mining expenses, the total profit from the coal industry is nearly 40,000 gold coins.
The coal industry, like brown sugar and steel, has a market that is far from saturated. However, limited by the mining methods, the annual output of the coal mines near Fort William can only be increased to 200,000 tons.
Only by finding a second coal mine will production capacity continue to increase.
Because of the war, the transportation industry is relatively prosperous. Even if there are a large number of imitation four-wheel carriages, this business will bring Harland a tie of 15,000 gold coins this year.
Another important industry is real estate income.
Because of the booming population, the market demand for real estate is huge. Although Richard built a large number of houses according to the plan every year, the rapidly increasing population resulted in a far insufficient number of houses.
Real estate, plus downstream industries such as masonry and glass, brought the territory 35,000 gold coins in revenue this year.
The perfume industry is still very stable, bringing Harland an income of 10,000 gold coins. The remaining messy industries, such as fruit selling, fresh fish selling, printing business, etc., together brought an income of twelve thousand gold coins to the territory.
In this year's battle, the legendary kobold was killed, 5,000 magic crystals were seized, the Lothar Basin was conquered, and 60,000 gold coins were harvested.
Including the 100,000 gold coins obtained from selling grain, Harland's cash income this year is as high as 900,000 gold coins, more than double that of last year.
It's just that the food gold coins sold by the food are exchanged for the population. Whether it is the captured magic crystals or the profits from the sunglasses charging technology, it is impossible to exchange them for gold coins and can only be stored in the treasury.
The real cash income is only 690,000 gold coins.
This kind of financial income is second only to the Duke of Edward and slightly more than the Duke of Fox. Compared with last year, it increased by about 60%.
Despite the cash proceeds of $690,000, not much money actually went into the coffers.
During the war this year, Harland's leader lost about 2,000 people, and hundreds more were injured and disabled. The number of people receiving pensions increased to more than 9,000. According to the standards set by Richard last year, the pension standards for fallen soldiers were raised. The pensions that need to be paid out this year are as high as 20,000 gold coins.
In addition, many soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious service this year. They captured the Losar Basin and were rewarded with 30,000 gold coins.
The expenditure on military pay is an astronomical figure. There are as many as 18,000 soldiers receiving military pay, and they need a salary of about 200,000 gold coins.
This year's expansion of the army by 7,000 men will also involve a huge expenditure on logistical supplies, which adds up to about 70,000 gold coins.
In addition, to support 25,000 regular troops, logistical support also requires about 50,000 gold coins over the past year.
The resources invested in auxiliary troops, intelligence, security and other aspects are also not a small amount. In addition to the resources consumed by the equipment department, 80,000 gold coins were used last year.
Adding up the bits and pieces, as many as 450,000 gold coins were spent on the army, accounting for 65% of the total income.
Sixty-five percent was spent on military expenses, and the remaining 35% was invested in civil affairs.
This year, Harland led a large-scale expansion of the bureaucracy. The number of civil servants exceeded 5,000, and salaries required about 40,000 gold coins.
There are ten primary schools and two middle schools in the territory. Even if a certain tuition fee is charged, 10,000 gold coins have been invested in education this year. In terms of medical care, two new hospitals were built, with an investment of about 8,000 gold coins.
The government's office expenses and various subsidies total about thirteen thousand gold coins.
Despite the war this year, Richard still increased investment in various scientific research institutes. Scientific research funds totaled 25,000 gold coins, accounting for 3.6% of the fiscal revenue.
In terms of proportion, it is much lower than last year, when scientific research funding accounted for 4.6% of the total fiscal revenue.
Although the number of magicians in the Harland Mage Association is small, they are all high-income earners, with their salaries and bonuses adding up to six thousand gold coins.
Adding up the bits and pieces, this year's fiscal 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 stored in Harland's treasury, and the magic crystals add up to about 10,000.
In the past ten years, Richard was the richest at the end of this year.
