Lynn considered new weapon designs for heavy infantry and cavalry, including warhammers and long-handled axes. He then visited the woodworker workshop to check on the progress of water wheels for the blacksmith's new furnace, emphasizing the need for speed. Lynn also stressed the importance of continuing production on defensive siege equipment for both the main territory and Morgan Town, before inquiring about the status of the Kirk ships being built at the shipyard.

Lynn nodded and said, "The production of the Kirk Ship can only be considered as training and developing the skills of shipyard apprentices while making the ship."

"In the future, the shipyard will expand in scale, becoming a large-scale shipyard capable of building large vessels or warships, even a shipbuilding base."

"Therefore, I need more apprentices to learn and master shipbuilding skills."

Colin bent over again, responding with his head bowed.

"Yes, Lord."

After inspecting everything was normal in the Woodworker Workshop,

Having communicated all his thoughts, and letting Colin continue being busy, Lynn walked out of the Woodworker Workshop.

As Lynn was contemplating whether to return to the Blacksmith Workshop to grind the Construction Skills experience,

a guard in composite armor came quickly from a distance.

The guard approached Lynn and reported respectfully.

"Lord, there is a convoy of wagons heading towards Lord’s Square."

Lynn’s eyebrows raised slightly.

Obviously.

With Jon Zucks and his supporter manor lords being overthrown,

Kakasong City quickly entered a stable and safe condition.

The traveling merchants could no longer hold back their desire to earn high profits,

and began transporting goods, coming to Lynn’s territory to conduct trade activities!

This, of course, was a good thing for Lynn.

During this period of external wars, Lynn had destroyed ten manors and seized large amounts of labor and various goods.

This allowed Lynn, who originally lacked goods and had a thin foundation, to receive a substantial refill!

Especially in terms of grain storage.

Lynn previously checked the Resource Management panel.

It showed that the weight of owned barley had already reached a staggering 25 million pounds!

With the current population of Lynn, consisting of 24,000 people in the territory, 13,000 in Morgan Town, totaling 37,000 people.

Not to mention the poultry and livestock in the territory.

Just calculating based on each person consuming three pounds of grain per day.

The 25 million pounds of barley would be enough for 37,000 people to consume for 225 days!

This count doesn’t even include the large amount of wheat, rye, oats, and various meats and vegetables seized.

As well as the quantity of grain produced from cultivated farmland.

If all counted, the duration enough for all residents to consume would be much longer!

Especially.

Once Lynn expands the scale of potato planting in the territory.

To the cultivated land, the large tracts of weed wasteland outside the Weng City walls, and the farmland in Morgan Town.

Even using a three-field system and converting barley planting land to potatoes...

Lynn cannot quickly calculate with mental math the amount of potatoes that can be grown!

Until then.

As long as there’s no explosive population growth in Lynn’s territory,

Lynn will no longer need to worry about food shortage problems in the territory!

Passing through the residential area with large red brick houses, Lynn arrived at Lord’s Square.

Lynn gazed afar, looking towards the town’s exterior.

On the limestone road between vast farmlands.

Convoys of four-horse-drawn wagons were heading towards the town.

Though still distant, Lynn could clearly see the carriage compartments loaded with high-piled cargo.

Sitting down on a nearby long bench.

Lynn’s mind stirred, opening the Holographic Projection map to check.

At the forefront of the cargo-laden convoy.

Boer, clad in a silk merchant-style robe, was riding on horseback.

Lynn glanced at the distance between the wagon convoy and the town, estimating it would take at least ten more minutes to arrive.

Lynn’s thoughts shifted, changing the scene before him, beginning to observe the territory’s industries.

In the current town, besides the Blacksmith Workshop undergoing construction projects.

For example, the red brick house residential area at the town’s rear.

For example, the Territory Court being constructed by Clive leading the construction workers.

All had already been completed and put into use when Lynn led Reilo and blacksmith apprentices to build the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.

Immediately.

Lynn switched the visual scene, scanning over the iron, coal, and salt mines being dug in the territory.

Men with bare chests were continuously swinging their cross pickaxes, digging into the large chunks of iron ore before them.

The current excavation conditions in the territory are extremely limited.

Unable to achieve mechanical excavation, relying solely on workers for the most basic manual digging.

The fortunate thing is.

Due to it being an open-pit iron mine, as long as workers are willing to exert physical effort, successful excavation can still proceed.

Only the efficiency, relatively speaking, is somewhat slow.

Until Lynn can obtain large amounts of sulfur, making it into gunpowder and explosives!

It can then be fully utilized for blasting mining!

Not just iron mines, both coal and salt mines can utilize blasting mining.

Thus improving worker digging speed!

With six iron blast furnaces’ previous iron production efficiency, having hundreds of diggers excavating iron and coal.

This can satisfy the media smelting consumption of the Blacksmith Workshop.

Once the Blacksmith Workshop completes the construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.

Just one Double-chamber Reflector Furnace can smelt a hundred tons of iron ore simultaneously.

Such efficiency is like a beast swallowing ore.

Relying on only a few hundred workers for excavation would definitely not meet smelting demands.

As smelting efficiency increases, we must also boost excavation and collection efficiency.

Scanning over the three mines confirming everything is normal.

Lynn’s scene switched once again, arriving above the pasture.
