System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1206 - 327: The Thrill of Power (10,000 Words) (3)
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
On the way to Morgan Town, led by Wesley.
No one chose to flee from the team!
Retracting his gaze from everyone.
Lynn, accompanied by Red, left the open square, walking on the cobblestone paths.
While walking, thoughts floated in Lynn’s mind.
Through Wesley’s statistics, he now knew the number of laborers Morgan Town possessed.
Gavin was leading 8,100 farmers in planting cultivation.
Ross’s three commanders had just brought back 7,200 laborers.
A total of 15,300 people!
Of course.
Such a number doesn’t account for the soldiers Lynn took from the territory.
From the 15,300 people, 5,600 need to be selected to become the garrison soldiers of the manor castle.
Used to plow the fields and cultivate crops during busy farming times in Morgan Town, harvesting grain.
And military training during idle times, stationing troops.
The remaining 9,700 can be used for the infrastructure construction of Morgan Town!
For example, the dirt gravel roads of Morgan Town need to be built and paved into red brick roads.
For example, expanding residential red brick houses, various public facility buildings.
For example, digging and constructing canals between farmland for future crop irrigation.
And for instance, making outdoor defense fortifications installed at the Lorraine Entrance to block large enemy armies attacking Morgan Town.
...
While Lynn was pondering, Ross stepped forward from ahead.
No need for Lynn to speak.
Ross stepped forward to Lynn, respectfully speaking.
"Master, Ross was about to come to seek you."
Lynn responded, asking.
"What’s the matter?"
Ross hurriedly explained.
"Master, since Commander Wesley is better at numerical statistics, we left the task to him."
"Ross led a team of soldiers to inspect Lorraine."
"Commander Tyrone went to inspect the forest road connecting Bo Xi Town and Morgan Town."
"But Commander Tyrone has yet to return."
Lynn continued walking without speaking.
Following alongside, Ross continued to explain.
"Master, after Ross’s observation."
"Defense fortifications must be constructed at both the Lorraine Entrance towards Kakasong City and the Lorraine Exit towards Morgan Town."
"Like cheval de frise, spiked fencing, or digging moats and spiked pits."
"Even if it can’t completely block the enemy’s advance, it can slow their speed."
"Thus providing enough buffer time for Morgan Town to organize defense lines and resist or counterattack."
"Besides defense fortifications, armored soldiers must be arranged to guard 24 hours on rotating shifts."
"Inspect those wanting to pass through Lorraine and enter Morgan Town, to avoid spies infiltrating and investigating Morgan Town, causing harm!"
Turning his words, Ross hurriedly added.
"Master, these are merely Ross’s personal insights."
"As for specific implementation, I hope you’ll personally weigh and determine..."
Listening to Ross’s orderly explanation, Lynn pondered for a moment, responding.
"Hm, then proceed as Commander Ross suggests."
"Not only between Kakasong City and Morgan Town through Lorraine."
"The connecting road between Alba Town and Bo Xi Town also needs defense fortifications and armored soldiers stationed!"
Receiving Lynn’s confirmation, Ross felt reassured and instantly responded.
"Yes, master, Ross will make arrangements right away!"
As the response came down.
Ross didn’t hesitate, retreated and left.
Lynn continued walking, exiting the manor castle, arriving at the vast farmland.
Taking the iron hoe from a farmer’s hand, amidst the widened eyes of the farmers, he began tilling the soil.
Lynn stood firmly with one foot forward and one foot back.
Grasping the iron hoe’s handle tightly, he held the hoe handle at chest height, exerting power through his arms.
Utilizing the strength of his waist and arms combined with the hoe’s weight, he forcefully plunged the hoe’s blade into the soil.
Under such power, the iron hoe’s blade penetrated deep into the soil.
Lynn skillfully pushed the handle forward, then pulled it back, immediately turning over a large chunk of soil.
Seeing the iron hoe only able to excavate roughly ten centimeters deep into the farmland, Lynn frowned slightly.
Such soil depth could only be considered shallow plowing.
Naturally, it couldn’t compare to deep plowing done with a heavy plow drawn by two oxen.
With oxen pulling, wherever the heavy plow passed, the fertile land deep within the soil would be turned over.
Then supplemented with compost fertilization, irrigation, and watering.
Along with various weed and pest control, and disaster prevention...
Only then, from this barren farmland, could a rare yield be harvested.
Morgan Town’s 120,000 acres of land, to efficiently cultivate, aiming for a harvest like Lynn Territory’s.
Having oxen and heavy plows is a must, and deep plowing is essential!
With the quantity of open-pit iron mines and blacksmith apprentices within Lynn Territory.
Forging production of wheel plows is not difficult.
What’s rare is having mature oxen to pull and drag the wheel plow.
Just waiting for Wesley to complete the statistics before making a decision!
Suppressing various thoughts in his mind.
Lynn’s actions continually repeated, pouring his heart into the tilling labor.

As Lynn incessantly tilled and labored, sweating in the process.
Bit by bit, experience gently accumulated.
Time swiftly progressed equally.
