The price of a hemostatic ointment is not high, about one silver coin.
Because the hemostatic ointment requires the use of a small amount of Zituofeng royal jelly, Richard's profit is actually not high, and the net profit is only about 25%.
However, when the three main legions are added together, each legion purchases 20,000 copies of hemostatic ointment a year, and the profits are also not small, adding up to about 1,300 gold coins.
Due to the limited royal jelly production in the territory, the annual production volume of hemostatic ointment is about 80,000 servings.
60,000 copies are sold to the main army, 5,000 copies need to be retained in the territory, and 15,000 copies can be sold.
Hemostatic ointment is a treatment drug that is in short supply in the northern region. The effect is very good. Once it appears on the market, the supply immediately exceeds the demand.
The nearby barons and nobles came to the Harland territory again and wanted to buy this medicine.
However, there is no discount this time. Richard sets the price at two silver coins per portion and does not accept any premium, but he can accept barter.
Selling hemostatic ointment to minor nobles, the profit is five times that of the main army.
Although only 15,000 copies were sold, the profit was several hundred gold coins higher than the 60,000 copies of the main army. But selling to the main army was politically correct for the Grant Kingdom and was equivalent to paying protection fees. Richard knew this very well.
The total income from 80,000 servings of hemostatic ointment is about 3,000 gold coins.
Not long after the Goddess's Birthday, it was time for He'an Elementary School to start school again.
There are quite a few students enrolling this year, and even though the tuition is very expensive, there are still about eighty people.
The newly admitted students are basically children from wealthy families. There are only a few dozen who come from ordinary families.
Although the war broke out last year, Richard still built student dormitories, expanded classrooms, and recruited two new teachers.
Although two new teachers came, the number of teachers is far from enough.
In the end, Flora personally inspected several students with fast learning progress, and recruited several fifteen or sixteen-year-old students with good academic performance as trainee teachers, who were responsible for teaching while learning knowledge.
Sophia has tested all the children who entered school this year for their magic talents.
Among the eighty or so children, only two have magical talent. These two children are named Harrison and Greta, and they are about twelve or thirteen years old.
Children with magical talents will receive special attention from the territory.
According to the average of the past two years, about one out of fifty children has magical talent.
Magic talents are not too rare, but high-level magic talents are undoubtedly very rare.
Even with moderate magical talent, Sophia tested more than 300 children and found only one Anne. According to the current probability, it is about one in 350.
However, according to Richard's estimation, the real probability may be even lower.
Just like Wendy and Sophia, there may not be even one person with high magic talent among tens of thousands of people. In terms of magic, Richard actually only has a medium magic talent.
As of this year, there are already three official magicians and five magic apprentices in the territory.
Among them, Anne and Adrian are both intermediate magic apprentices. They can already participate in some magic experiments and listen to the exchanges of formal magicians.
Richard likes to communicate with different magicians, but the magicians in Dawn Continent are generally conservative.
Richard can only hold a magic meeting with Sophia and Wendy to exchange experiences in the process of learning magic.
He has called in Adrian and Anne several times recently and asked them to write meeting minutes.
It is of great benefit to apprentices to hear the opinions of formal magicians on magic.
"Wendy, how is your recent research on ultrasound going?"
"After your prompts, I studied the body structure of bats and have made some new discoveries.
The bat's mouth and ears are very special. The snout has a nose-like leaf structure, and there are complex special skin folds around it.
Relying on this special body structure with the function of emitting ultrasonic waves, it can continuously emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves. Through ultrasonic wave reflection and echolocation, the feedback information is analyzed in the bat's brain, and the bat can adjust its flight posture and distinguish between food and food.
obstacle.
I dissected and studied the nasal lobes of bats, and used blood steel and a small amount of mithril to successfully create a tool that emits ultrasonic waves. You can try it."
Wendy took out a reddish-brown magic whistle from her pocket and blew it hard. Richard only felt a special vibration but could not hear the sound clearly.
Richard knows that normal people cannot hear ultrasound, but the Dawn Plane is a magical plane, and many people have special talents. For example, Richard's second uncle Powell has an extraordinary sense of smell, and some people have extraordinary hearing talents.
There happens to be such a talented person in the territory, and he has been specially recruited into the army.
This man's name is Luciano, and he is just eighteen years old. Although he does not have high qualifications in practicing breathing techniques, he is a very important assistant to Hayden.
"Luciano has extraordinary hearing talent and can hear ultrasonic waves. I will write a note to Hayden and ask Luciano to cooperate with you in the research."
After listening to the exchange between Richard and Wendy, Sophia nodded and said: "The wavelength of ultrasonic waves is shorter than ordinary sound waves, has good directivity, and can penetrate opaque substances. Ancient magicians also did some research on ultrasonic waves.
For research and treatment, I have some on hand and put them on the third row of the twenty-sixth bookcase. You can take a look if you need them."
Richard nodded and said: "You can use transformation magic to temporarily transform a bionic device. Through this device, you can complete echolocation. If this magic is completed, I think invisibility can be restrained."
Invisibility in magic is actually optical invisibility, which Richard has already studied clearly.
Since it is optical invisibility and does not involve plane spatial science, it must be restrained by ultrasonic detection technology.
"Actually, there is another way to study it, which is to dissect Luciano's body structure to see what is special about him. If we understand the principle of extraordinary hearing, we may not need to go to so much trouble."
"Wendy, we are human beings with feelings, not cold magic machines. The research on magic should be well-intentioned and humane. Experimenting with human bodies has broken through the moral bottom line. If only in this way can we study magic and interact with demons
What's the difference? Although we pursue power, we should not be lost by it.
A magician should establish a correct moral outlook. I think a magic ethics course can be set up to educate magic apprentices in the territory."
Richard's righteous words left Wendy speechless. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Okay, brother, you are right."
