Chapter 314 Annual Summary
According to the changes in the attribute panel data, if there is no major change, it will take about thirteen months for Richard to advance.
Seeing that there is no major war recently, Richard does not need to take the risk of advancing. So Richard is going to save this holy light 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 again.
Although this year was disturbed by the invasion of orcs, it is still a year of great development for the Harland Territory.
After conquering the Lothar Basin, the rescued population reached 243,000. Except for a small number of nobles, this part of the population became contract slaves in the Harland Territory. Counting the new population, the slaves purchased this year, and the immigrants from other territories. The permanent population of the Harland Territory has reached 980,000.
Although this population size is at the bottom among the dukedoms, it is about 100,000 more than the Marquisate of Klein, the most populous of the four eastern marquises.
With a population close to one million, the number of free people has also grown greatly.
This year is the year when the war broke out. Many contracted soldiers made military achievements and their families became freemen. This part of the population is about 40,000. In addition, there are about 30,000 freemen whose service period has expired this year. Together with the immigrant population, there are about 310,000 freemen in Harland this year.
Although Harland implemented a light tax policy, the land tax of 310,000 freemen added up to 77,500 gold coins. In addition to commercial taxes, tariffs, property taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, the tax revenue of Harland this year has reached 110,000 gold coins.
300,000 freemen received 110,000 gold coins in taxes. If all the million people in the territory were converted into freemen, even if the territory's light tax policy was continued, the tax revenue would add up to more than 300,000, enough to support 15,000 regular troops.
After conquering the Losa Basin, the number of cultivated land in Harland increased by 3 million mu. Although the per mu yield in the Losa Basin was low, the grain output increased by 120,000 tons. It's just that the population of the territory increased more, and the surplus grain was only 80,000 tons. Among them, 50,000 tons of grain were exchanged by Richard for population and distributed in the Nelson area to resume production.
So although the grain output increased greatly this year, only 30,000 tons of grain were saved in agriculture, and it was not exchanged for cash.
After conquering the Losa Basin, a large number of sheep-bodied people were captured, and more than one million cattle and sheep were seized.
Although the Harland animal husbandry was severely damaged by the plague last year, it ate a bite of fat meat in the Losa Basin this year and almost recovered the scale of the previous year.
This year, the official farms have a total of about 1.2 million sheep. Because of their small scale and little capital, private breeders will need about three or four years to recover.
Because the population has increased a lot this year, the consumer market has grown a lot, and the military has expanded a lot, and the military consumption has increased, the mutton market has not been unsalable. The army and the government consumed about 600,000 sheep.
The remaining 600,000 were basically sold in the market. In addition to the Harland Territory, the Black River Fort market also consumed about 200,000 heads. The net income brought to the territory by animal husbandry this year is about 60,000 gold coins.
Because of the war and military expansion, the steel industry has developed rapidly this year.
Last year, 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 increase in a large 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 excessive, and steel products have not been unsalable.
Now Harland Territory's steel products cost about six copper coins per kilogram, and the price of steel products has once again ushered in a large drop.
According to today's iron prices, ordinary strong laborers can buy one kilogram of steel in one day's work, and steel products can already enter thousands of households. Even if you want to buy steel plows, you only need to work for about 20 days.
More than a decade ago, when Richard just started to run the territory, the price of one kilogram of steel was about one silver coin, and it often took a strong laborer one or two months to buy a long sword in the army. Now the price of iron has dropped to 20% of the previous price, and ordinary people have increased their income, and their lives are much richer than before.
If the development goes smoothly next year, the steel production capacity of Harland Territory will exceed 10,000 tons, which is slightly higher than the small blast furnace that Richard played with when he was a child.
With a large number of new population, many contract slaves regain their freedom every year. These people leave the slave camps and have the demand to buy iron products. Compared with the large market with millions of people, the steel production capacity of 10,000 tons is far from enough.
Although the price of steel products has fallen by 25% again, there are still 150,000 gold coins in sales this year, because of the improvement of productivity, it is still a violent project.
In addition to paying the wages of steel workers, Harland Territory only needs to pay a small amount of food, and the orc slaves will dig out iron ore. The steel trade has brought in 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, and they can also squeeze orc prisoners of war. Despite the price reduction, steel production is still a huge profit, with profits about 30 times the cost.
Because of the recovery of animal husbandry production, the production capacity of the wool textile market has increased by about 80%. This year, the price of woolen cloth has fallen 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, agriculture and animal husbandry were the two pillars that contributed the most to the fiscal revenue of the Haland Territory. In the past two years, the surplus of agriculture has basically been used to feed the new population, and animal husbandry has not yet fully recovered from the blow it suffered. The biggest contributors to the territory's finances are the steel industry and taxation.
After more than a decade of development, the profit from the brown sugar trade has also become an important source of income for the Haland Territory.
This year, the territory's brown sugar production has reached 3,500 tons. According to statistics from the Statistics Bureau, the free people in the Haland Territory consume an average of about five kilograms of brown sugar per 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, Haland Territory's brown sugar has not only dominated the northern border market, but also expanded to the Nolan region. Even the Grand Duchy of Stannic has a strong enough agent.
Even though the wholesale price of brown sugar has dropped to five copper coins per kilogram, it still brought Haland Territory a net income of 45,000 gold coins this year.
The brown sugar market has not yet reached its limit. According to the average level of five kilograms of brown sugar consumed by each person, as long as there are several million consumers, the brown sugar market capacity can reach more than 10,000 tons.
According to the development speed of the Duke of Harland, it may not take too long to achieve this goal.
Last year, the Harland Territory built a petrified tower near Fort William. Because the legendary third-level dragon crystal was installed, the income from magic crystal charging increased sharply. This year, the income from sunglasses charging has reached about 24,000 gold coins.
The Harland Territory captured the Losa Basin, and the entire central part of the Eagle Mountains became the territory of the Harland Territory.
All the monsters living on this land are Richard's property.
This year, the territory's demon hunting team only counted the magic beast resources in this area. Richard has formulated strict laws to prohibit the hunting of magic beasts within five years.
If there is no restraint, according to the current hunting intensity of the demon hunting team, the magic beasts in this area may not last too long.
This year, an important source of income for the Harland Territory is the arms revenue. Four thousand alchemical bombs and two hundred scorching ray guns brought a net income of about 56,000 gold coins.
The sales of soap and soap are also very good. Because of the increase in the number of sheep slaughtered, the raw materials of animal fat 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 soap have opened up the market, bringing 28,000 gold coins to the Harland Territory this year.
Last year, the coking plant in the Harland Territory was put into production, and aniline purple was extracted from coal tar.
The effect of chemical dyes is far better than that of natural dyes.
By this year, the Harland Territory can 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 impacting the economic interests of the Grant royal family, Richard did not produce dyed cloth on a large scale, and mainly developed the domestic demand market.
This year, due to the increase in the domestic demand market in the Harland Territory and the sales in the Grand Duchy of Stannic, dyed cloth brought Richard about 10,000 gold coins.
Due to the increase in the domestic demand market and the expansion of the army, the profit of the wine market has increased a lot, reaching about 30,000 gold coins.
This year, due to the war, the demand for trauma medicines in Harland Territory has skyrocketed. Both burn ointments and hemostatic ointments have brought huge income to the territory.
Although the export of medicines is less than last year, medicines still bring 40,000 gold coins to Harland Territory.
Because of the use of steam engines in coal mines, the production capacity has almost doubled, and this year's output has reached 160,000 tons. Excluding the expenses in the mines, the total profit of the coal industry is nearly 40,000 gold coins.
The coal industry is the same as brown sugar and steel. The market is far from saturation. However, due to the limited mining method, the annual output of coal mines near Fort William can only be increased to 200,000 tons.
Only when a second coal mine is found can the production capacity continue to increase.
Because of the war, the transportation industry is relatively prosperous. Even though there are a large number of copycat four-wheeled carriages now, this business has brought 15,000 gold coins to Harland Territory this year.
In addition, another important industry is real estate income.
Because of the surge in 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 bricks, glass, etc. brought 35,000 gold coins to the territory this year.
The perfume industry is still very stable, bringing 10,000 gold coins to Harland. The remaining messy industries, such as fruit sales, fresh fish sales, printing business, etc., added up to 12,000 gold coins to the territory.
In this year's battle, the legendary dog-headed man was killed, 5,000 magic crystals were seized, and the Losa Basin was conquered, and 60,000 gold coins were collected.
Including the 100,000 gold coins from the sale of grain, Harland's cash income this year is as high as 900,000 gold coins, more than doubled compared to last year.
It's just that the food gold coins from the sale of grain exchanged for population, whether it is the seized magic crystals or the income from the sunglasses charging technology, it is impossible to exchange for gold coins, and can only be stored in the treasury.
The real cash income is only 690,000 gold coins.
Such fiscal revenue is second only to the Duke of Edward and slightly higher than the Duke of Fox. Compared with last year, it has increased by about 60%.
Despite the cash income of 690,000, not much money actually entered the treasury.
During the war this year, Harland lost about 2,000 soldiers, and several hundred soldiers 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 soldiers killed in battle were raised, and the pensions to be paid this year were as high as 20,000 gold coins.
In addition, many soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious service this year, and they were rewarded with 30,000 gold coins for conquering the Losa Basin.
The expenditure on military pay is an astronomical figure. As many as 18,000 soldiers received military pay, and the salary required was about 200,000 gold coins.
This year, the army was expanded by 7,000 people, and the logistics materials were also a huge expenditure, adding up to about 70,000 gold coins.
In addition, the logistics support for 25,000 regular troops also required about 50,000 gold coins in a year.
The resources invested in auxiliary troops, intelligence, public security, etc. 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, the gold coins used on the army amounted to as much as 450,000, accounting for 65% of the total income.
Sixty-five percent was spent on military expenses, and the remaining thirty-five percent was invested in civil affairs.
This year, Harland Territory has expanded its bureaucracy on a large scale, with the number of civil servants exceeding five thousand, and the salary expenditure is about forty thousand gold coins.
There are ten primary schools and two middle schools in the territory. Even if a certain tuition fee is charged, ten thousand gold coins have been invested in education this year. Two new hospitals have been built for medical care, with an investment of about eight thousand gold coins.
The government's office expenses and various subsidies add up to about thirteen thousand gold coins.
Despite the war this year, Richard still increased the investment in various scientific research institutes, with a total of twenty-five thousand gold coins in scientific research funds, accounting for three and a half point six percent of fiscal revenue.
In terms of proportion, it is much lower than last year, when scientific research funds accounted for four and a half point six percent of total fiscal revenue.
Although the Harland Mage Association has a small number of people, magicians are all high-income personnel, with a salary and bonus adding up to six thousand gold coins.
Adding up the bits and pieces, this year's fiscal expenditure is five hundred and fifty-two thousand gold coins, and the remaining gold coins are about four hundred and fourteen thousand.
Including the gold coins saved before, there are now 180,000 gold coins stored in the treasury of Harland, and the magic crystals add up to about 10,000.
In the past ten years, Richard is the richest at the end of this year.
