Chapter 112: Caravan Travels Far Away

The difficulty of blood transfusion has been overcome by half, and sterility and anesthesia are relatively simpler.

The territory can produce strong liquor, so it can naturally distill and purify alcohol. High temperature disinfection and alcohol disinfection can be used to create a sterile environment.

Anesthesia is the easiest to overcome, and magicians can achieve anesthesia through sleep.

Richard also found a special plant called the psychedelic tree through the sheep-headed man, from which he extracted anesthetics. Drinking a bowl can make people fall into a coma.

Through many experiments, Richard found that the psychedelic tree has no other side effects except coma.

A piece of wasteland was also opened up in the territory, and some psychedelic trees were transplanted to extract the juice from the psychedelic trees.

In addition to making anesthetics, this thing can also make anesthetic arrows.

The Harland territory has been preparing since last year, and now more than half of the prerequisites for establishing a surgical hospital have been met.

After the hospital is built, there is no need to treat diseases in a short period of time.

Doctors and nurses need training. Even if Richard has written a lot of regulations, it will take some time for doctors and nurses to have a clear understanding of bacteria and viruses and understand the new knowledge written by Richard.

Besides, doctors need to use animals for experiments to see the effect of treatment.

It will take at least a year before the hospital will be open to the public and treat patients.

Arranging Adrian as the director of the hospital is actually doing some preliminary work. The main task is to train personnel and summarize experience through animal experiments.

Another cousin, Tang En, is mainly responsible for supervising spring plowing.

Sophia has to study magic every day and has little free time, so she can only manage major events in the territory. Spring plowing is very important and needs people to keep an eye on it all the time. Even if it is forced, Tang En can only take it.

Richard was busy in the territory for a month. In mid-March, he decided to leave the territory with the sixth and fourth squadrons to buy slaves in the Grand Duchy of Stannic.

Mid-March is already spring.

Spring is the time when all things wake up. Green tree buds have grown out and the earth regains its vitality.

Richard walked on the road, as if he could smell the fragrance of flowers and soil. The fresh and refined feeling made people feel relaxed and happy.

The hills in the distance, bathed in the soft sunshine, are full of greenery, and look particularly beautiful, beautiful and charming.

The stream gurgles, the water is clear, and small fish swim in the river, passing by them.

Some birds chirp in the ears, sparrows and swallows are crossing mountains and ridges, coming to the northern region to reproduce.

After traveling to this world for eleven years, Richard only felt a little relieved this year.

To enter the Grand Duchy of Stannic, you need to go west through Gascoigne Province, Edward Duchy, Fox Duchy, and reach Linus, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Stannic, about 800 kilometers away.

Richard is accompanied by two squadrons of soldiers, and the procedures for entering any territory are more complicated.

Many things need to be prepared in advance. A trip to the Grand Duchy of Stannic may take several months.

When he left, Richard brought some territory specialties such as iron arrows, brown sugar, white wine, and purple head peak honey.

Through the Black River, the main artery of the northern border, Richard and others entered the Duke of Edward before getting off the boat.

Iron arrowheads, white wine and other materials are very popular in the northern border. After Richard sold this batch of goods, he bought ten iron-horned horses from the Duke of Edward, expanding the number of magic beasts and war horses in Harlan's territory.

The Duke of Edward has been breeding iron-horned magic beasts for more than a hundred years, and the number of iron-horned horse populations is also very large. Some second-level stallions will also be sold.

However, these second-level stallions are all castrated.

Stallions that cannot be bred have very little appeal to the Harland family.

Richard can only buy a batch of mares eliminated by the Duke of Edward. These mares are not young, and they are already old in human age.

Although they are very old, as long as they can bred and give birth, they are better than castrated stallions for the Harland territory.

Leaving the Duke of Edward and entering the Duke of Fox, it is almost April.

The Duke of Fox borders the Grand Duchy of Stannic.

After entering the Dukedom of Fox, you can already see some caravans from the Grand Duchy of Stanik, selling the specialties of the Grand Duchy of Stanik.

The elven black tea produced in the Grand Duchy of Stanik is very famous, and the tea plantations directly controlled by the royal family have planted thousands of black tea trees.

Every year, the Grand Duchy of Stanik can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins by selling elven black tea to the Kingdom of Grant.

The Grand Duchy of Stanik has strict control over the species of black tea trees.

Caravans entering the Dukedom of Fox from the Grand Duchy of Stanik must undergo strict inspections.

Once tea tree species are found, the entire caravan will be executed.

The area of ​​the Grand Duchy of Stanik is less than one-third of the Kingdom of Grant, about 600,000 square kilometers, and the population is less than 8 million.

Because of its weak national strength, the Grand Duchy of Stanik finds it difficult to resist every orc invasion, and often asks neighboring countries for help.

The neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Grant, the Kingdom of Delong, and the Kingdom of Ryan often help within their capabilities to help the Grand Duchy of Stanik defend the line of defense because of the relationship of lips and teeth.

If the Grand Duchy of Stannik is captured by the orcs, the 600-kilometer land west of the Kingdom of Grant will become the front line.

Holding the 1,000-kilometer defense line in the north has already made the Kingdom of Grant very embarrassed. Adding another 600 kilometers, the heavy burden will bankrupt the kingdom's finances.

Although the former royal family of the Grand Duchy of Stanik entered the Kingdom of Grant for refuge, the current royal family, the Linus family, had some complaints.

However, the current situation of the Grand Duchy of Stanik seeking help from the Kingdom of Grant prevented them from turning against each other publicly.

In the past hundred years, the Grand Duchy of Stanik has been closer to the Kingdom of Ryan and has become somewhat alienated from the Grant royal family.

The Linus family used to be a vassal of the Jonathan family. Taking advantage of the appearance of a foolish grand duke in the Jonathan family, they united with several noble families to drive the Jonathan family away.

Although they successfully counterattacked and became the Grand Duchy of Stanik, the family's strength has also been well developed.

Unfortunately, because they did not get the country right, they compromised too much with the nobles and were restricted by the nobles.

The royal family of the Grand Duchy of Stanik has weak authority and only controls a population of two million, just over a quarter. More than five million people are monopolized by several noble families.

Because the nobles occupy huge resources, it is difficult for small nobles to develop well.

The number of hereditary barons is very small, with only more than one hundred, less than one-sixth of the Kingdom of Grant.

The class rigidity in this country is even more serious, and it is somewhat lifeless.

Entering the Grand Duchy of Stannic, the strict class division and almost no room for advancement actually made Richard feel depressed.
