Lord Harland.

Chapter 150 The Knight's Pledge
Through the meeting with the following managers, Li Cha had a general understanding of the economic situation of the territory.

According to statistics, the population of the territory is about 600 people, most of them are indentured slaves, and there are less than [-] free people.

Freedmen are grassroots managers, soldiers who have fought in war, or family members of disabled soldiers who died in battle.

However, by February next year, the earliest batch of indentured slaves will become free citizens, and this group of people has been estimated to be about 600 people.

When these contracted slaves regain their freedom, the population structure in the territory will be somewhat normal.

Free people have money, of course they will consume, and the tertiary industry in the territory will develop.

With a population of more than 4, a small-scale market can already be formed, and a little internal circulation can be completed.

After the meeting, Richard wrote a letter for Butler Gibson to bring to Mrs. Ola.

In recent years, with the help of the power of the Harland family, the business controlled by Mrs. Ola has developed a lot. Over the past few years, she has accumulated [-] gold coins of private money.

After receiving the letter from Richard about borrowing money, Mrs. Ola's expression turned ugly.

Although she is a young lady from a merchant family, she has a long-term vision.She chose William, who was ten years older than her, and caught a wealthy son-in-law, allowing herself to achieve a class transition.

Mrs. Ola's child also became a member of the nobility.Even her elder brother, Rand, has benefited a lot, and the scale of the business has expanded a little.

Because Li Cha was so outstanding, Mrs. Ola already understood that it would be difficult for her children to obtain the right to inherit the land.

Richard's influence in the territory of Harland has now surpassed that of William, and Mrs. Ola dare not let her children compete with him for the inheritance.

The struggle for inheritance rights among the nobles is a life-and-death struggle, and a little carelessness may even be life-threatening.

She didn't dare to fight for the territory, but she was going to leave the gold coins and her own business to her children.

Although these words were not clearly stated, they were approved by William, and Richard would not have any objections.

In the past, the gold coins Mrs. Ola saved from doing business have already supported the development of the territory.

Now that he has managed to save some more, Li Cha wants to borrow another letter.

Mrs. Ola wanted to object, but she didn't dare to offend Richard.After all, she is not Li Cha's biological mother, and now she is a little old and decrepit, and William's favor is not as good as before.

Mrs. Ola cherishes everything she has obtained now.

She clearly knew that the most fundamental reason why she was able to obtain such a status, to be flattered by noble ladies, and to earn more than 1000 gold coins a year, far more than her father and elder brother, was the bloody battles of the men of the Harland family.

In the middle of the night, she would sometimes touch the scars on her husband William's body, and she naturally knew how hard it was to get everything now.

Li Cha has created such a big situation, and he has experienced many dangers and bitter battles.

For Li Cha, a strange son, Mrs. Ola is very afraid, it is the fear of power.

When William was away, she didn't even dare to talk to Richard.

Li Cha wanted to borrow money, although Mrs. Ola was dissatisfied, she still took out the gold coins and lent the money.

After borrowing the money from Mrs. Ola, Li Cha took out the one thousand gold coins in the treasury and bought two thousand tons of grain, increasing the grain reserve to eleven thousand tons.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Li Cha is going to wait for a while, and after Christmas, continue to take out [-] gold coins, and then buy [-] tons of grain.

At that time, even if the weather is abnormal next year and the grain harvest fails due to natural disasters, the grain reserves will still be enough to feed tens of thousands of people in the territory for several months.

After purchasing the food, Li Cha immediately started the training of the two new squadrons.

Li Cha, the captain of the Ninth Squadron, appointed Lost.

Lost is an aristocrat of the Kingdom of Ryan. After the defeat, he became a contract slave and served the slave merchants.

Because the contract was about to be sold to Richard by the slave trader.

After Richard bought the contract, he sent Lost back to the Kingdom of Ryan to look for his relatives. It has been five months now.

Lost was born in the distant branch of the baron. He has good talent and has awakened the blood of the knight. Before being captured, he was already a second-level knight.After being captured, his baron cousin was unwilling to pay a ransom for him, so he became a slave, and his wife also committed adultery with a cousin of the same race.

The three sons were left behind to live with their old parents and became citizens. Although they still had some money and their wives occasionally helped them, they could live a decent life, but it was still very different from before.

After Lost went back, he took away his parents and son, and forgave his wife.

Because he knew in his heart that his cousin had already coveted his wife.As a woman without power, she can't protect herself at all.

It is not his wife that Lost hates, but his stingy cousin.

He was captured fighting for the territory, and Tang Shu was unwilling to pay the ransom, which made all this possible.

After seeing his family, Lost decided to be loyal to Richard, and advanced to the third level after returning to the territory.

A third-tier knight has a fighting power that exceeds that of a fourth-tier warrior.

Today's Lost is stronger than veteran third-tier professionals such as Martin and Heyman.

Richard only spent [-] gold coins to get the allegiance of a third-tier knight. This investment is very cost-effective.

Lost used to be the leader of the Eighth Squadron, and this time Li Cha plans to let him lead the recruits as the leader of the Ninth Squadron.

The captain of the Tenth Squadron, Richard chose the young Jennings.

Jennings has good talent and can stand shoulder to shoulder with a talented person like William.

He has studied breathing techniques for five years, and advanced to a second-level professional without much resources.

People like Hayden and Ron have practiced breathing techniques for more than ten years, and they can often take Tenghui Potion, but the results are still not as good as others.

If this officer who came out of slavery had not fallen in the flames of war, according to Richard's estimation, he should be able to be promoted to the fifth rank.

Harland's silver wolf breathing method comes from the Stopa family, and it can be advanced to the fifth level at most.

Jennings' luck, I don't know whether it is good or not.

Said he was lucky, Jennings met Richard when he was young, and was rescued by Richard when he was suffering from the plague.After joining the army, he easily learned the breathing method, relying on his talent to stand out from the soldiers, and became a squadron leader at a young age.

It is simply a template for ordinary people to struggle.

Said that he was unlucky, the upper limit of the silver wolf breathing method he learned was not high, wasting his excellent talent, and he might never be able to be promoted to a high level in this life.

After Lost and Jennings were appointed as squadron leaders, Richard also promoted seven new professional officers.

Richard participated in blocking the plane channel and obtained a batch of potion resources rewarded by the Kingdom of Grant.

In addition to promoting Soros to the sixth rank with this batch of potions, one hundred Tenghui potions also trained seven new professional officers in the territory of Harland.

Li Cha selected two of them and appointed them as deputy squadron leaders of the Ninth and Tenth Squadrons, and the remaining five were added to the Demonic Beast Cavalry Squadron.

With the addition of these five newly promoted professionals, the number of professionals in the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron reached thirteen.

Although it is far from the Warcraft Cavalry that everyone is a professional like Duke Roger, compared with the Warcraft Cavalry under Baron Harden, the professionals have reached [-]% of the Warcraft Cavalry under Baron Harden, and their combat effectiveness has also increased to about Harden. Half of the Baron Warcraft cavalry.
