Lord Harland.

Chapter 147 Reserve Grain
After Li Cha exchanged knowledge with the Church of Dawn, he rested in Victory City for a few days before returning to Harland's territory alone.

After being in a coma for more than ten days, it has already entered October after returning to the territory.

In this counter-insurgency battle, Li Cha annexed several serf soldier squadrons, and these people added up to more than 500 people.

The casualties in the counter-insurgency battle were not very large. After returning to the territory, the three infantry squadrons almost doubled in size.

The selection of the serf soldiers squadron was not very good, most of these soldiers were crooked, and Li Cha planned to dismiss some of them.

Select some elite soldiers from the serf soldiers, then recruit some personnel from the territory, and continue to expand the two squadrons of soldiers.

Complete the training of recruits before next summer.

At that time, there will be ten squadrons of infantry in Harland's territory, one squadron of monster cavalry, and three squadrons of auxiliary soldiers.

Such a strong force, as long as it is not facing an army of orcs, is enough to repel one or two brigades of orcs and protect the safety of the territory.

During the period when Li Cha was in a coma, the Harland family had released the wind and was willing to exchange three bloodline enlightenment potions for a batch of food. Many nobles came to Vicburg to negotiate with Li Cha.

A bloodline enlightenment potion needs to be exchanged for five small skills.

In the main army, generally speaking, a small skill can be exchanged for a hundred gold coins of resources.

Many low-level military officers who have made military achievements and have no hope of being knighted will exchange their meritorious service for cultivation resources and trade with nobles before retiring.

Roughly speaking, a bloodline enlightenment potion is worth about five hundred gold coins.

The price of grain in the Grant Kingdom is not expensive, and two gold coins in the northern border area can buy a ton of grain.

An adult male works for a year, and the salary is about three or four gold coins, which is enough to feed seven or eight people.

But a family will have all kinds of expenses. In addition to food expenses, it also needs to buy cloth and salt.To pay rent, buy various necessities of life.

A citizen family needs to have two laborers to live a better life.

It seems very cost-effective to exchange a bloodline enlightenment potion for 250 tons of food.

But many times the value of an item will not be converted in this way.

There are many aristocratic heirs, and blood enlightenment potions will always be scarce.

Upstarts like the Harland family, who are still members of the first generation, basically do not have much knight blood, so they exchanged blood enlightenment potions.

If you wait more than ten years, Richard's children will grow up, and Hayden, Wendy, Tang En, and Adrian will all have children.Even if there is a shortage of food, Li Cha can't exchange the blood enlightenment potion.

For most nobles, although food is a precious strategic resource, it is not scarce.

Gerda Province has a vast territory, and the water and heat are in the same period, and the grain output is not low.The per capita arable land area is very large. Although it is on the front line, there is no shortage of food. Instead, it is the food export area of ​​the Grant Kingdom.

Every year, a large amount of grain from the three provinces of northern Xinjiang enters Nolan through the North-South Canal along the Gedda Province, Sodamia Province, and Gabria Province.

If the territory of Harland hadn't swallowed 8000 people, there would be no shortage of food next year.

Therefore, from the perspective of scarcity, if you want to exchange the blood enlightenment potion, you must trade at a premium.

In order to exchange the blood enlightenment potion, many nobles came to Harland in person.

Uncle Soros was the first to come, and Soros' brother, Baron Duck, was also with him.

After refining the magic essence potion, Soros was successfully promoted to the sixth rank.This rebellion against Soros has made a lot of merits, and he has accumulated more than half of his merits as a hereditary baron.

Although Baron Duck doesn't like his half-brother.

However, for the sake of his son's future, he must obtain the blood enlightenment potion. Baron Dark still had the cheek to find Soros, hoping that Soros would intervene and let him obtain the blood enlightenment potion.

Even though he had conflicts with his elder brother, Baron Dak, when Baron Dak humbly begged to come to the door.

Soros thought of his father, and the days when he was a child living in Barony Dak.

Countless past events emerged in his mind one by one. Although some memories were sad and bitter, there was still a hint of sweetness in the bitter memories.

"When I was young, my father had no plans to change the heir. Because my mother came from an ordinary background, I was not a threat to my brother. At that time, my brother was very kind to me. When I was young, I always followed behind my brother.

Once while hunting, a black bear rushed towards him. It was his elder brother who stood in front of him and stabbed the bear to death with a sword, leaving a scar on his shoulder. "

Soros suddenly remembered the good side of his brother.

Although Baron Dak once used his personal connections to squeeze him out, making him unable to continue working in the Grizzly Legion, resulting in a very slow accumulation of military exploits.

But at this moment, he still chose to forgive his brother, remembering the kindness of Baron Duck, forgetting the unpleasant side, and decided to ask Li Cha for favors.

After doing this, Soros finally felt relieved.

Since Uncle Soros came to his door, this favor must be given, and Li Cha will not ask for a premium, making uncle's favor very cheap.

He directly exchanged 250 tons of grain with Baron Dak for a bloodline enlightenment potion.

After Baron Dak exchanged the blood enlightenment potion, there was an endless stream of visiting nobles.

Most of these people are members of the aristocratic branch, and many of them have very rich family assets, and they can buy food to exchange with Richard.

But their political status is not high, and they cannot bring other resources to Harland's territory.

Soon Baron Sharp approached the door. He was Li Cha's old comrade-in-arms and the old chief, and the two of them also suppressed the rebellion together this time.

Baron Sharp had several children, but these children had no knightly blood.

In order to become a hereditary nobleman, he had already divorced his ex-wife. He exchanged the blood enlightenment potion for his current wife, Baroness Raphael.

Although Baron Raphael had no public husband before, he had many lovers and gave birth to six children.

Even though Baron Raphael is a powerful knight, he still lacks the blood enlightenment potion.

This time, I asked Baron Sharp just to plan for the future of my fourth son.

Baron Sharp's territory was adjacent to Harland's territory, and the old officer had to give him face.

However, Baron Raphael is not short of food and promised to exchange [-] tons of food.

The last bloodline enlightenment potion was traded to an acquaintance, Baron Rice. Baron Rice had a farther relationship with Richard, and the premium was higher.

Only [-] tons of food can be exchanged for a bloodline enlightenment potion.

Five hundred tons of grain was sold, worth thousands of gold coins, and the premium almost doubled.

With the use of three bloodline enlightenment potions, 150 tons of grain were traded. Counting the grain stored in the territory, the grain reserve has exceeded [-] tons.

Li Cha made some calculations and decided to continue adding [-] tons of grain reserves.

Three thousand tons of grain, worth six thousand gold coins.

Although the territory of Harland is developing very fast, because of Richard's large-scale military expansion, the construction and development of the territory at a high speed consumes a lot of money, [-] gold coins are still a lot of money for Richard.

Almost all of the gold coins seized in the counter-insurgency war were used for meritorious service.

Although there is a sum of money in the treasury of the territory, the money is to prevent emergencies.

If it is all used to buy food, when there is an emergency need for money, even a penny will be difficult for a hero.
