Chapter 444 Cannon Fodder and the Magic Knights

Many people believe that these guys with only one sword and one uniform, even if equipped with magic weapons and muskets, are just a bunch of cannon fodder, but George firmly believes that after this cavalry is formed, even if it only has one sword, They can also defeat the Southern Wilderness people, and after the Southern Wilderness test, they can also defeat the Lemur and Red Devil troops.

But no matter what, magic troops are urgently needed. However, under the current situation, local productivity cannot satisfy the construction of a 'modern magic army'. But we can't wait, we must take two steps.

So we can only rest on our laurels.

Simply put, after inheriting the family property from her father, she can be regarded as a little rich woman.

I just don’t know if I can spend enough on this ‘little lover’ that my father calls me.

Before Tanya could answer, George couldn't help but asked nervously: "What did your father say this morning? This leaves a lot for future generations, right?"

He does not count on this money for the main infantry of Dome Eagle, and the formation of modern magic troops is also slow. But the money should be enough for the quick-build cavalry regiment in George's mind.

Hearing this, Tanya couldn't help but look at George with a strange expression.

The father has completely 'misunderstood' the relationship between the two of them - or in other words, even if the father knew the situation, he was still determined to hook up with this guy, become his lover, and give birth to the 'Duke of God' An eldest son (illegitimate son)

My father's thoughts are simply

Sophia is my niece!

This thing is a little too outrageous

Just when Tanya was looking for various reasons, the scene at the dance last night suddenly came back to Tanya's mind.

Her heart was pounding, and she felt an unprecedented stimulation.

But then, she sighed secretly.

Lorna, who was not far away pretending to look out the window, seemed to have a mental connection with Tanya. After seeing her expression, he couldn't help but pricked up his ears with excitement.

This morning, she heard everything the old Duke said to these two guys - this was so interesting!

George's words were indeed what she expected.

Seeing Tanya's look, Stingy George thought she was reluctant to give up, so he couldn't help but quickly added: "Don't listen to what your father said this morning, Tanya. We have to use the money to build the army - even if it's for you How can you leave all the dowry to your eldest son (referring to Kaili)?”

Lorna couldn't help but cover her mouth and snickered. She had been following him all day, but she was just waiting for this to have fun!

"Rona, what are you laughing at? This is our money. I'm not saying that I want to seize Tanya's family property. I mean, part of it is Tanya's dowry!"

Lorna rolled her eyes fiercely. Tanya twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

George coughed, looked at Tanya and said solemnly: "You should give me all the money! Tanya, I will create a super army for you - don't listen to the French guy from Moss. Cavalry's comments, even if our 'modern cavalry' doesn't have magic weapons, they only have a sword and a military uniform! They will be the strongest cavalry in the world! I won't lead them to beat the Southern Wilderness all over the ground! Go find your teeth!"

There is currently enough time for the tournament. Afterwards, George plans to go to the Kingdom of Stars with Moss's trading team to make money. On the way, he will encounter many bandits in the Southern Wilderness. For a long time in the future, this group of 'French Cavalry' will be upgraded to magic. Before the cavalry, they would escort the caravan.

At the same time, it will also deter those people in the Southern Wilderness - George believes that the Sun God alone is not enough, he must conquer them once to make them completely obedient!

Tanya nodded deeply to what George said. She only said four words: "I believe you."

This sentence indeed comes from the sincerity. No matter how outrageous things George wanted to spend the money on, she believed in George.

Tanya put away her chaotic thoughts and talked about business:

"In recent years, Dome Eagle's consumption has been very high. After supporting the battlefield of Bishui City, we have to deal with the domestic nobles' grain storage. There are only two million bushels - barely allowing the citizens of the Dome Eagle family's territory to support them until the autumn harvest."

George nodded. These two million bushels were the private finances of the Dome Eagle family. However, the arbitration panel found that local residents did not have much food storage at all.

The resident population of Dome Eagle City, including the manors and farms within Dome Eagle City's jurisdiction, is about 800,000. Outside Qiongying City, there are more than 600,000 people recognized as belonging to the duke's land - scattered throughout the private land of Duke Qingying.

The total adds up to less than 1.5 million people. In the six months before the autumn harvest, each person needs at least 2 bushels of grain. Therefore, with these two million bushels of grain, there is a gap of one million to support the autumn harvest.

But what Tanya said about "barely sustaining it until the autumn harvest" is also correct, because the nobles in Dome Eagle City, under Tanya's coercion and inducement at yesterday's banquet, are gradually contributing the grain reserves in their hands. And the arbitration team is now in the city to deal with those wealthy squires who eat people without spitting out their bones.

Those who disobey are all vampires - they are leeches lying on the people's bodies to suck blood!

So the food is probably enough - George roughly estimated that the contribution from these 'vampires' should be about the same as the Duke of Dome Eagle's small treasury: two million bushels of food.

In other words, there will be 500,000 grains that can be used for food and wages.

Food and wages are not so expensive for normal lord troops, because in this era, the troops that train every five days are the most brave and elite - the Boar Knights of Yudlan. The rest of the time is for labor, even farm work.

During this one-day training, the soldiers must have sufficient food supply - at least 1.5 kilograms of staple food and other materials and meat every day.

It is equivalent to a quarter of the consumption of 30,000 people in the shelter, that is, 300,000 food and wages per year!

Many years ago, the price of food was not so high, and the harvest was good. The food was not so good, so as long as the troops of the Sky Eagle family did not fight, then some of it leaked from the old Sky Eagle's fingers, which was almost enough - food and wages worth 20,000 to 30,000 silver foxes.

Therefore, the premise of establishing a professional army is greatly related to productivity.

There are also military pay and military consumption.

Seeing George's inquiring eyes, Tanya pursed her lips and said, "In addition to food, we have more than 800 rune words, some of which belong to my father, and some of which are taken from the nobles by the arbitration group (the rune words are forbidden to be kept privately). Together with the more than 2,000 rune words given to us by the Holy See, they can be used to build new Thornbirds."

"What about the supplies?" George asked.

"There are more than 300,000 silver foxes in stock. Part of it is my father's property, and part of it is the donations from the nobles - in addition, there are iron ore, equipment and other supplies worth one million."

George nodded and sighed.

Originally, the Sky Eagle family had accumulated more silver foxes than this. The old Sky Eagle also planned to use this money to make a large amount of equipment and weapons, and to form an army to compete for hegemony - the goal was to recruit another 3,000 knights, 6,000 attendants (retinues), and 60,000 soldiers. Each knight's armor and helmet (700+150), weapons (80), and two war horses (1200) are more than 2,100 silver foxes.

Because these knights have no fiefdoms and are servants of the Skyhawk Knights, most of these things are provided by the Grand Duke.

And the servants of the new knights are also mostly provided by the Grand Duke - most of them wear riveted mail, and a few wear full-body armor like the knights. The average is about 500. There are also two war horses (1200).

As for the soldiers, the average budget per person is about 80 (some are unrivet mail, some are leather armor and cotton armor).
