i have a shelter.

The real investment in them, averaged to each person, is the equipment used to arm the melee soldiers: mail armor, weapons, helmets and other basic equipment musketeers do not need, and when they have to fight in melee, wear It doesn't matter if you don't wear armor, a bayonet is enough, and the magic weapons, muskets, and cannons equipped with firepower output are added together, which is [-] per person.

In addition, there are three hundred silver foxes, which are the price shared equally between the consumption of magic gems and firearms in the future war.

The remaining two hundred is the cost of magic weapons. Those weapons produced in the valley are very cheap.But it can't be calculated like this, because if all of them are produced by the shelter, then each successful alchemist can only produce one handle per month.

The current monthly output is about 300 handles.Less than 4 a year can satisfy an army of [-] people.But one-third of them need to be exchanged with Alfonso for mithril and magic gems, as well as the Hell Half-Step Man Armor Sergeant and Sea Demon Serpent Armor Sergeant Major or Senior Sergeant that Sanctuary Sergeants lack.

Therefore, in this year, even the 8 people in the shelter cannot be supplied.

The gap is huge.

Hellwalker's armor can be satisfied by exchanging magic weapons with Alfonso's channel.

The lack of mana weapons has to be made up with the alchemy productivity of the Eldar Kingdom, that is, it will cost money.And the money is not the kind of exchange that was traded with Alfonso, but money that was actually spent.

The Sanctuary will purchase accessories produced by various alchemy workshops in the Kingdom of Elda. One thousand silver foxes will be shared among five people, which means two hundred per person.After these accessories are collected, the wizards of the sanctuary do the final processing.But even though it cost a thousand silver foxes, the wizards in the sanctuary were able to produce one per week.

In one year, it happened to satisfy the 8 people in the sanctuary with magic weapons and two kinds of high-level armor.In addition, there are 3 magic weapons of Qiongying.

Therefore, the construction of the Sanctuary's army is based on the blood supply of the Kingdom of Eldar, which is negligible, including the magic gems.

However, the basic equipment of Qiongying and the magic gems cost [-], so George had to think of other ways to get money.

The 800 modern magic troops are equipped with 30 million silver foxes, which is beyond the imagination of all armies in this era.The [-] regular army that Alfonso is preparing to build, plus the Griffon Knights he plans to re-establish, is this number.

But the fighting power of these 3 people far exceeds that of the 30 people!

Ask for a recommendation ticket, everyone help to give a thumbs up to the book list.

0447 Dilemma

So the current construction gap, minus the more than 100 million worth of materials in Tanya's small treasury, is 700 million silver foxes.

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

The 3 people in the local area can consume 30 local food, but the military salary and training consumption must be considered. The average military salary is 3 silver foxes per month, and the training consumption is 1 yuan per month, which is 120 million. Consumption of Silver Fox.

In the past, the troops of the Qiongying family were mainly militias, and there was no military salary.The regular army is only the Jagger of the Vaulted Eagle Knights, which is supported by the temple and its own territory. When there is no war, the military salary is only [-] to [-]. give some.

So even the knights, although their combat standard is not bad, but the quality of the army is worrying.

This is especially true of the militiamen brought by the knights.

These militiamen are obliged to serve in the army, and the soldiers are satisfied with stuttering. To put it bluntly, they are a group of medieval robbers, and they are called the army of the great lord.

The army of the entire Kingdom of Eldar, except for the royal troops such as the Griffon Knights, is almost the same.

How can they beat the people from the Southern Wilderness?

Judging from George's understanding from the mouths of the nobles, the fighting power of these soldiers is almost the same as that in the late Ming Dynasty. The only thing that can support them in fighting is to fight after fighting.During the eradication of bandits, rebels, or friction with the people of the Southern Wilderness, the disasters caused by these soldiers are more cautious than the people of the Southern Wilderness!

Especially in the friction with the people from the Southern Wilderness, most of the army's eyes were on those towns and manors, and they often even made use of it, looting and returning.After a battle, sometimes the real enemy is not even seen!

Therefore, during the trip of the troops, the nobles who passed by were very panicked.Often those supported castles will never open their doors to greet them, and there is often only one result.

The new army must not be like this.

In the past, they didn't even train, so how could they maintain military discipline and build their minds.

So the 120 million silver foxes must be spent. The three 10,000+ silver foxes in Tanya's hands can be used for three months.

Simply put, the 50 grain stored after the search was enough to consume 30 grain for the troops.

However, in addition to the 700 million construction expenditure and the 240 million military expenditure for two years, the weapons will wear out even more during the war, and it is even more impossible to grab the military salary locally, otherwise the hard-earned discipline will be gone.So the booty they got from the demons was to be handed over.The supplies for next year's war will also be prepared.

If this army is local, then 30 yuan a year is enough.But if it is an expedition, the grain and grass that need to be transported in advance are not these.

And in the east, it's not just the 3 Alfonso's troops who need to use food and pay, he has to find a way by himself.But Alfonso couldn't figure out George's dozens of mercenary groups.

To prepare for war supplies, at least 500 million bushels must be prepared for 3 people to eat 30.But the mercenary guerrillas had more than one hundred thousand people, and it was not so easy to find food in places occupied by demons, so they had to hide part of the food in certain caves and other areas.

10,000+ people, to be honest, 200 million bushels is enough.And the mercenary group is different from the army, they don't have to pay their trophies, they don't need to hand in their spoils, and they can satisfy themselves by plundering demons.

But the key lies in the consumption of transportation. The transportation in this era mainly relies on horses.If it is a horse like Qingfeng horse that eats less, it can pull more than eight catties of coarse grains and twelve catties of forage, although each horse can only pull more than ten bushels and more than 500 catties.But the consumption is also less.

Ten carts of grain were pulled from Qiongying to the east of the Kingdom of Eldar, and two and a half carts of them would be consumed on the way, and two and a half carts had to be brought to eat on the way back, otherwise the horses would starve to death on the way back. .

That is to say, after ten carts of grain are transported, there will be five carts left.

Of course, the Qingfeng horse alone is definitely not enough, so many other horses are needed to leave three carts out of ten carts!

Some of the grain does not need to be pulled so far by horses, and can go along the river. Therefore, the count is 500 million bushels, not 800 million!

Therefore, George and the others must prepare 180 million military pay, 60 supplies and supplies, 700 million construction military expenses, and 560 million bushels of grain.

Currently, the small treasury in Tanya's hands is 100 million supplies and consumables, three 10,000+ silver foxes, and 50 surplus food and grass

"What is the price of food in the Kingdom of Iberia now?" George asked suddenly.

"Although the price of food in Iberia is also high, it is not as exaggerated as we are." Speaking of this, Tanya's face became a little weird: "After the people in the southern desert lived in Iberia, the farmers there lived , on the contrary, it is much better than before.”

George's expression moved slightly, and the land was divided evenly.

He had heard from Moss before that after the tribe came to the Kingdom of Iberia, all the land of the nobles and squires came into their hands.The population has also become the hard labor and slaves of the people in the southern desert.But these hard workers and slaves got very good results, because the people in the southern desert gave them all the cultivated land.

This is somewhat different from what he heard from Alfonso. Alfonso said that the people in the southern desert turned many lands into pastures.

But in fact, neither Alfonso nor Moss is wrong.In the records of the Kingdom of Iberia, the arable land reported by the nobles was [-] mu, but the actual arable land may be [-] mu.Moreover, the land that Moss and the others use as grazing is also the wasteland and inferior land with extremely low yields.It doesn't have much impact on real grain production.

In addition, because Iberia is in the southerly area, 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.

In the past, the lords of the fiefs often only collected a few types of taxes, but because of the nobles and gentry lying on the common people to suck blood, the taxes may become eighteen types in the end.

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

In addition, the people from the southern desert came to the north and brought a lot of wealth, which made the local trade flourish

The destruction of the country of Iberia can actually be said to be the destruction of the country, which can be described as a good reincarnation.Under their decadent system, the common 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, maybe they are the saviors

George somewhat understood why Alfonso, those Iberians who joined the tribe, began to call themselves Southern Wilderness.I also understand why those hard workers and slaves were so active on the battlefield during the friction between the people of the southern desert and Eldar.

They are protecting their good life

It can be said to be very ironic.

"However, George, if we plan to buy grain from Iberia, we may have to go through the hands of the people from the southern wilderness. Layton doesn't recommend doing this." Tanya said with a bitter face: "Lyton was in the front section When I was living, I talked with the people from the Southern Wilderness. They agreed to purchase, but they will not be responsible for transporting them. Unless we send a large force to go, otherwise the money may be wasted.”
