    Section 18 Material Scheduling

    Hailan City is located in the eastern islands of Elant. Although it is sparsely populated, it is rich in resources. It is rich in sea salt, coal mines, and iron ores. The Elant family and other nobles jointly operate the mines here.

    "Baron, there are few farmers in Highland City, but there are many craftsmen, workers and slaves. This eastern island is more than 200 square kilometers and has a population of more than 10,000, of which more than 5,000 are slaves and servants. The Yilante family mainly operates Haiyan and most of the  Iron ore, most of the family's income is provided by these two." Motel explained in detail, stroking his sparse beard.

    Lin Fenghan frowned and looked at the slaves carrying iron ore on their backs, walking slowly, and pushing carts under the mountains, and said with pity: "Butler, if I want to liberate them and train them into an army, do you think it is okay?"

    "Baron, no!" Motel tightened Lin Fenghan's hand in surprise and said seriously: "You must know that we now have a large army of 3,000 people. Counting the slave workers in the mining industry in the territory, we add up to  It¡¯s only close to 30,000 people. An army of 3,000 people has already put tremendous pressure on various production and supplies in the territory.¡±

    "The navy has 300 professional sailors and captains. In addition to the newly recruited 200 sailors, it is necessary to build new barracks, ship ports, ship canvases, and warehouses, which will cost about 5,000 silver coins."

    "The army currently has 200 cavalry, 500 heavy infantry, 300 archers, 400 spear militia, 300 halberd militia, and 800 buckler swordsmen. About 1,200 of them are new recruits, and more than 800 are unreliable prisoners.  Army. In the army of 2,500 people, 1,800 people do not have complete armor or weapons."

    "Your Highness, Baron, according to my calculations, it is estimated that 10,000 gold coins will be needed to provide these 1,800 people with complete equipment, including wallets, plate armor, scale armor, chain mail, daggers, bows and arrows, long swords, and spears."

    "The iron arrows of a bow and arrow are 1 silver coin each, and the cost of a trebuchet is 3,000 silver coins. Daggers, plate armor, scale armor, chain armor, spears, and iron swords all need maintenance every day. The army needs to consume a lot of energy every day.  Food, meat, soldiers need monthly wages, and hiring migrant workers requires wages. It can be said that the real cost of purchasing weapons and equipment is only about 20,000 silver coins, but maintaining an army of 3,000 people requires at least 2,000+2,000 silver coins per month."

    "Besides, the proportion of heavy infantry in our army is not large, and the weapons are not advanced. To expand the heavy infantry to 1,000 people will require 500*200=100,000 silver coins."

    "Now that the army expansion is completed, if we don't take action, the wealth accumulated by the Elant family for generations can only last for 26 months. If we abandon the territory's reserve supplies and purchase weapons, ships, and food, then it can only last for about 14 months.  About a month each." Jacques Jin said with a worried look on his old face.

    "What!" Lin Fenghan frowned and looked up at the sky, murmuring: "It seems that we have to step up our plans."

    "Steward, immediately order the minerals under our control to immediately improve the treatment of the slaves from now on. Everyone must have bread, rice, and enough rice soup for dinner. They must have one meal of meat every week, and they must be paid every month.  Let¡¯s set the salary at 30 copper coins for now! Give me a little bit.¡±

    "At the same time, build a naval academy in Hailan City and an army academy in Haisha City. The current 2,500-person army will allocate 500 good water-resistant soldiers to serve as professional navy. The first fleet of the Elantra Navy will be formed."

    "The 2000 Army units were reorganized together to form the First Corps of the Elantra Army. 20 centurions, 60 squadron leaders, and 180 squad leaders were selected. All officers, regardless of size, must attend the Army Academy."

    "At the same time, let Abby follow Elizabeth to purchase at least 3,000 longbows, long crossbows, and at least 10 small and medium-sized pointed bottom boats."

    ¡°Establish an academy of science in Haisha City, let outstanding craftsmen, scholars, and carpenters participate in it to speed up the research and development of steam engines.¡±

    ¡°Establish the Elant Administrative Academy in Haisha City, where every official must learn administrative knowledge, including the ideas of democracy and freedom.¡±

    ¡°We will set up a judicial academy in Hailan City, where every security officer, judge, and investigator will receive further training.¡±

    ¡­Lin Fenghan raised his head and closed his eyes, and quickly followed his inspiration and issued orders one after another like a dream.
