Lord Harland.

Although Richard is now a pauper, the cash in his hand may not be as much as that of an ordinary baron.

But he has troops under his command. In Gerda province, even the governor of the province sometimes depends on his face.

He made a gesture of not cooperating with the provincial consul, and the capital replaced the provincial consul of the Huo Lan family.

It was because Otto understood this that he decided to talk to Richard.

Many nobles in the Chenxi plane value gold and silver coins.

What they like to do most is to collect the gold and silver in the territory, put it in boxes and store it in the treasury.

Li Cha's three observations come from his previous life, and his vision is much stronger than that of the earth turtle on the plane of dawn.

Upon hearing Otto's words, he immediately agreed to his request, revised the territorial laws and regulations, and relaxed the rules.

In just one or two months, the merchants in Harland's territory bought two thousand slaves and consumed tens of thousands of gold coins.

Of course, privately purchased slaves entered Harland's territory and needed to be subject to official supervision.

The Harland Land Act stipulates that slaves have the same right to life as freedmen.

Anyone who kills or tortures a slave to death will also be punished with his life.

After the slaves entered Harland's territory, they needed to change their contracts.

The previously signed contract is void, and the territory of Harland will let the slaves sign a new contract.

This contract can only be signed for a maximum of ten years.Ten years later, private slaves will also legally become free citizens.

This decree is not very friendly to rich people who buy slaves.

But Harland's territory is now Richard's decision. With the support of the violent machine of the army, even if wealthy businessmen don't like the decisions he makes, there is no opposition.

Although money is important in the Dawn Plane, it is far less important than strength.

Without enough power to protect, no matter how much business is done, it will be a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

After leaving Harland Territory, the safety of their property and even their lives may not be guaranteed.Besides, Richard has formulated a compensation policy so that merchants will not lose money.

"Odaye, how have you been in the past few years?"

"Viscount Richard is a kind and good man. After I retired from the army due to illness, I received a monthly allowance of one silver coin. Before the birthday of the goddess, there were also some material rewards, such as mutton, brown sugar, etc. In addition, I was given monthly allowances. Thirty kilograms of grain was distributed, which was enough for my daily needs.

Later, when I got better, I entered the quilt factory. The military uniforms you are wearing may have been sewn by me. "

"After you retired from the army, because of the orc invasion that year, our resident was not fixed. Sura searched for you for a long time, but couldn't find you. I remember he heard that you were in the quilt factory, and he also went to look for you. "

"When Sulla came to the quilt factory, I was actually near him. It's just that Sulla became a professional at that time, and I became a useless person. I couldn't accept the reality, and I didn't want to see acquaintances like you."

Because Odaye is in poor health and has no habit of drinking.

Sura, Jennings, Julian and other old comrades in arms did not let him drink, but let him make a cup of brown sugar water, and talked with everyone about what happened in the past few years.

"How is your restaurant business?"

"It's all dependent on Su La taking people to eat. I planned to open a roadside stall and sell some bread. But I met Su La and bought slaves. I bought a house and spent a hundred gold coins all at once. Knowing when to earn it. Thinking of this gives me a headache."

Sura smiled and said: "Viscount Richard once said in the basic economic literacy class that gold coins can only play their due role if they are spent and circulated. Hiding them in the cellar is no different from rotten stones."

"Viscount Richard did say that. I have two hundred gold coins in my hand, and I have also decided to buy people from the slave market and rent them out to the city hall."

"Jennings, I heard that there is little profit in buying slaves and leasing them to the city hall."

"Actually, there are still some, but the profit is relatively low. For a slave in the prime of his life, the city hall will give a rent of one gold coin every year, and a one-time subsidy of 2 gold coins will be given out after ten years. The total annual income is %."

"2% yield is too low."

"You don't know, this kid married Viscount Richard's cousin, and is now a nobleman. His wife's salary is quite a lot every year, which is enough for them to live on. This money is used to support the construction of the territory."

People who came from the army and were precarious. Some people value money very much. They are real desperadoes. They dare to do anything as long as they are given money, and they are not afraid of danger at all.

But there are also some people who, because they are used to seeing life and death, live a very free and easy life and do not attach much importance to money.

Jennings and Sura are both such people.

After a while, Odaye asked someone to serve a roasted whole lamb.

Jennings and others live in the army, and the food is very good, and they can often eat mutton.

Ordinary citizens do not have such good conditions.

There are more than two thousand goats in the Harland territory. The goats are very good at raising sheep and pay taxes to the territory every year.

Because they are slaves, the tax burden on goats is relatively heavy.

The tax sheep handed over basically made the soldiers cheaper.The occasional leftover mutton was basically distributed to disabled soldiers, families of soldiers who died in battle, and so on.

It is basically difficult for ordinary people to eat meat, and some pigs are killed before the goddess's birthday, which is not enough.

"Why do you have mutton here?"

"Last year, many free people raised sheep at home. Around this year's goddess's birthday, the supply of mutton has increased a lot, but it is still very expensive. A catty of mutton costs three copper coins, almost three times the price of pork. Only you officers can afford it."

"It's much better than when we first came here, and life will gradually get better."

After the meal, Zhan Nings did not let Su La treat him and insisted on paying the meal.

In this meal, a dozen strong men ate a sheep, two chickens, three fish, and drank twenty kilograms of white wine.

It cost eight silver coins just for the meal.Eight silver coins are equivalent to two months' salary, which is almost enough for ordinary people's living expenses for a year.

Only people like Zhannings who don't take money seriously are willing to treat a dozen comrades to a big meal.

After eating and drinking, Jennings came to the field hospital to visit his sister Connie.

After studying for more than a year, Connie has mastered the meditation method and has become a low-level magic apprentice. She has also learned the spell to treat minor injuries and signed a work contract with the hospital.

Because her magic level is not high, Connie's monthly salary is eight silver coins. For a child who is only thirteen years old, her salary is already twice that of an ordinary person.

As soon as Jennings entered the hospital, he found Richard, Sophia, and Wendy in the hospital.

"How is the effect of the experiment?"

"It's very effective in stopping bleeding, but it's slightly toxic."

"I think it's time to try production. If there are patients, you can also try to implement it. Many times the therapeutic effect and adverse reactions exist at the same time. The key is to weigh the pros and cons."

Richard held a brand new ointment in his hand. This ointment was somewhat red in color and had a sweet smell.

This ointment is a hemostatic ointment developed by Richard and Sophia.

During his observations, Li Cha found that sheep-body people would occasionally eat a red vine to relieve pain.

Li Cha researched this herb called purple blood vine, squeezed the juice of purple blood vine, mixed it with purple head peak royal jelly, added qi-tonifying red ginseng, and developed a new hemostatic plaster.

This plaster not only has the effect of stopping bleeding, but also dissolves congestion, relieves pain, and eliminates swelling.

The only drawback is that the hemostatic cream is slightly toxic.

How much toxicity is specific and how serious the impact on people is, we need to sum up experience in the process of use before we can make a conclusion.
