I have a shelter

So the current construction gap, minus the more than one million worth of materials in Tanya's small treasury, is 17 million silver foxes.

In addition to the construction gap, there are also food and military pay.

These 30,000 people can consume local food (300,000) in the local area, but military pay and training consumption must be considered - the average military pay is 3 silver foxes per month, and the training consumption is 1 per month, which is a consumption of 1.2 million silver foxes.

In the past, the troops of the Sky Eagle family were mainly militias, and there was no military pay. The regular army only had the Sky Eagle Knights (Jager's was supported by the temple and its own territory). When there was no war, the military pay was only 20,000 to 30,000. When fighting, the knights would grab their own share, and the family would also give some from the spoils.

So even if the knights had a good combat level, the quality of the army was worrying.

The militia brought by the knights was even more so.

These militiamen were obliged to serve in the army, and they were satisfied with having a stutter - to put it bluntly, they were a group of medieval bandits who were named as the army of the great lord.

The army of the entire Elda Kingdom, except for the royal troops such as the Griffin Knights, was almost the same.

How could they beat the people of the Southern Wilderness?

From what George had heard from the nobles, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was about the same as that of the late Ming Dynasty - the only thing that could support them in fighting was to rob after the battle. In the fight against bandits, rebels or friction with the Southern Wilderness people, the disasters caused by these soldiers were more cautious than those of the Southern Wilderness people!

Especially in the friction with the Southern Wilderness people, the troops mostly targeted those towns and manors, and even often took advantage of the situation to rob and come back. After a battle, sometimes they didn't even see the real enemy!

So when the troops were traveling, the nobles they passed by were very panicked. Often, those castles that were supported would never open their doors to welcome them - if they opened the door, there would often be only one result.

The new troops must not be like this.

In the past, they didn't even train, so how could they maintain military discipline and establish ideas?

So these 1.2 million silver foxes must be spent - the 300,000 silver foxes in Tanya's hands can be used for three months.

Fortunately, the 500,000 grain reserves after looting are enough for the army's food and wages (300,000).

However, in addition to the 17 million construction expenditures and the 2.4 million military expenditures for two years (weapons will wear out more during wars, and military wages are even more impossible to rob locally, otherwise the hard-built discipline will be gone. Therefore, the spoils they got from the devil must be handed over). The baggage for next year's war must also be prepared.

If this army is local, then 300,000 food and wages a year is enough. But if it is an expedition, the food and grass that need to be transported in advance are not these.

And in the East, it is not just these 30,000 people who need food and wages - Alfonso's troops will be figured out by himself. But Alfonso is a little bit unable to get George's dozens of mercenary groups.

At least five million bushels of war supplies must be prepared - 30,000 people will eat about 300,000. But there are more than 100,000 mercenary guerrillas. It is not easy to find food in places occupied by demons, so they have to hide some of the food in some caves and other areas.

To be honest, two million bushels are enough for more than 100,000 people. Moreover, mercenaries are different from armies. They can have no military pay - they do not need to hand in their spoils of war, and can satisfy themselves by plundering demons.

But the key lies in transportation consumption - transportation in this era mainly relies on horses. If it is Qingfeng Horse, which eats less and pulls more (eight catties of coarse grains and twelve catties of grass are enough), each horse can only pull ten bushels (more than 500 catties). But the consumption is also less.

Ten carts of food, pulled from the Sky Eagle to the eastern part of the Elda Kingdom, will consume two and a half carts of them, and two and a half carts must be brought back to eat on the road, otherwise the horse will starve to death on the way back.

That is to say, after transporting ten carts of grain, five carts can be left.

Of course, Qingfeng horses alone are definitely not enough, so many other horses are also needed - three carts can be left out of ten carts!

Some of the grain does not need horses to pull so far, and can be transported by river, so the number is 5 million bushels, not 8 million!

Therefore, George and his men must prepare 1.8 million military pay, 600,000 supplies, 17 million construction military expenses, and 5.6 million bushels of grain.

At present, the small treasury in Tanya's hands is 1 million supplies, more than 300,000 silver foxes, and 500,000 surplus grain

"What is the current grain price in the Kingdom of Iberia?" George suddenly asked.

"Although the grain price in Iberia has also increased, it is not as exaggerated as ours." At this point, Tanya's face became a little weird: "After the Southern Wilderness people lived in Iberia, the lives of the farmers there were much better than before."

George's expression moved slightly - the land was divided equally.

He had heard from Moss before that after the tribe came to the Kingdom of Iberia, all the land of the nobles and gentry fell into their hands. The population also became hard laborers and slaves of the Southern Wilderness. But these hard laborers and slaves got very good things, because the Southern Wilderness people distributed all the arable land to them.

This was somewhat different from what he heard from Alfonso - Alfonso said that the Southern Wilderness people turned a lot of land into pastures.

But in fact, both Alfonso and Moss were right. In the records of the Iberian Kingdom, the cultivated land reported by the nobles was one thousand acres, but the actual cultivated land may be three thousand acres. Moreover, the land that Moss and the others use for grazing is also wasteland and inferior land with extremely low yields. It doesn't have much impact on actual grain production.

In addition, because Iberia is further south, many cultivated fields still produce two or even three crops. There is still a lot of food there.

Of course, there is a more important reason.

Normally, the lords of the fief often only collected a few types of taxes, but because of the nobles and squires lying on the civilians to suck the blood, the taxes may become eighteen types in the end.

Now, those 'slaves' and 'laborers' have only one master above their heads. Life is naturally much better.

In addition, the people from the Southern Wilderness came to the north and brought a lot of wealth with them, which made the local trade flourish.

Iberia was destroyed (in fact, it can be said that the country was destroyed), which can be said to be a good reincarnation of heaven. Under their decadent system, the people have long been in dire straits. In the eyes of the nobles, these invaders are demons, but in the eyes of the common people, they may be saviors.

George somewhat understood why Alfonso said that the Iberians who joined the tribe began to refer to themselves as "Southern Wilders". We also understand why the hard workers and slaves were so active on the battlefield amid the friction between the Southern Wilderpeople and Elda.

They are protecting their good life

It can be said to be very ironic.

"However, George, if we plan to purchase grain from Iberia, we may have to go through the hands of the Southern Wilderpeople. Leiden does not recommend doing this." Tanya said with a bitter look on her face: "Leiden is in the front section. I talked to the people in the Southern Wilderness when I was living. They agreed to the purchase, but they will not be responsible for transporting it. Unless we send a large force, we may spend money in vain."

Transporting grain is no better than transporting horses. Dozens of people from the Southern Wilderness came here with thousands of horses, and they might arrive in a few days. But if it is transporting food, the time may be more than ten times longer.

Will definitely be robbed by other tribes

"I don't plan to purchase food from Moss and the others. We have enough of our own." George had already made a plan in his mind. He also planned to do what the people in the Southern Wilderness did - divide the land equally.

Tanya knew something about George's plan - this was not the first time they had done this. Valley has a successful and rich experience. Each small team has set off with each lord in the name of the arbitration team today. The shelter will also send some town mayors over in the near future.

After the governors of the Sanctuary enter each territory, each territory of Dome Eagle will be well 'reformed'. As long as the Dome Eagle territory returns to stability, the grain production of this year's autumn harvest will still be guaranteed. Not to mention the food needed for next year's war. Famine can still be prevented.

Although there is famine and riots in various territories, the nobles, squires and wealthy households have food in their hands.

"It would be great if the output can really increase. As long as George has enough food, the income of the Dome Eagle family will actually be huge." Speaking of this, Tanya couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, originally, the Dome Eagle family The most profitable output in China is spice products. But in recent years, everyone has been busy with farming, and various territories have been in turmoil and unrest."

George nodded. He knows that spice products are the biggest reliance on the Qiongying family's rise. I am afraid that the funds currently lacking will have to be spent on spices and trade in the end.

Sell ​​these things to the Kingdom of Stars, and then buy high-grade silk from the Kingdom of Stars. The profit will be more than two or three times.

And in this world, if there is any kingdom where the Demonic Nexus is most likely to be obtained, it must be the Kingdom of Stars.
