System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1275 - 338: Furious Giant Bear Corps (10,000) - 6
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
Lynn glanced at Ehrelo, and spoke.
"For the first smelting, how much iron ore was added?"
Ehrelo responded without any hesitation.
"Master, because it was the first smelting, Ehrelo was concerned about unforeseen situations,"
"So he only ordered the workers to load approximately fifty tons of iron ore."
"Based on Ehrelo’s understanding of the double-chamber reflector furnace, combined with the workers’ technical skills."
"About fifty tons of iron ore, after a week of continuous high-temperature smelting in the double-chamber reflector furnace, can roughly yield around ten tons of steel."
"Converted, the iron yield is approximately twenty percent."
"The precise yield of steel and how many tons can be produced will depend on the output volume later!"
Listening to Ehrelo’s words filled with technical terms, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
Not because of the high yield of the double-chamber reflector furnace.
But because when Ehrelo spoke of the double-chamber reflector furnace, his entire momentum underwent a drastic change.
His words were firmly confident, without a trace of timidity.
Lynn naturally understood.
This was the change after consuming a Memory Pearl and inheriting Lynn’s memories.
Lynn stared directly at Ehrelo and spoke.
"Arrange the operators of the double-chamber reflector furnace, ensuring the normal operation of the furnace."
"Meanwhile, continue to lead the other blacksmith apprentices into the construction of the next double-chamber reflector furnace!"
Ehrelo heard and slightly bowed, respectfully answering.
"Yes, Master."
After dispatching Ehrelo, Lynn observed the blacksmith workshop for a while, then walked away from the construction site.
With Ehrelo here, and his understanding and knowledge of the double-chamber reflector furnace, leading the blacksmith apprentices in construction and labor, is more than sufficient.
Exiting the blacksmith workshop, Lynn’s gaze swept around before heading towards the distant glass workshop.
Upon entering the glass workshop.
Rows of shelves filled with glazed products instantly caught Lynn’s eyes.
Even someone as well-informed as Lynn couldn’t help but brighten his eyes at the sight of these glazed products.
Bright and intense, like chicken blood red.
The tone is gentle, filled with elegant and romantic rose red.
Like royal palace ware, glaring yellow.
Clear and bright, vibrant peacock blue like a missing feather.
Soft and warm as milk, milky white...
Such a dazzling array of glazed bottles nearly filled the entire glass workshop.
Head foreman of the glass workshop, Layla, seeing Lynn come in, quickly came to greet him.
She bowed and greeted him respectfully.
"Master Lynn."
Lynn’s gaze was still sweeping over the shelves of glazed bottles, he nodded slightly and said.
"Besides these glazed bottles, what else is the glass workshop making now?"
Layla, following Lynn, responded respectfully.
"Master Lynn, aside from glazed bottles, we’re also making wine glasses, glazed bowls, glazed windows, and more."
"However, as the workshop continues producing, the workers’ craftsmanship is becoming more proficient."
"Layla wants to try making some other glazed products..."
Lynn raised his brows and spoke to Layla.
"Other glazed products... Layla, the foreman, you can try making glazed lighting fixtures!"
"For example, glazed chandeliers, wall lights, and table lamps."
"You can use the translucency and aesthetic colors of glaze to create different lighting effects."
"You can also make glazed tableware or ornaments with textures and designs."
"Designed glazed tableware and ornaments don’t need to be produced on a large scale."
"Even if there are only dozens of sets each month or year, they can be sold at high prices!"
In this period with very primitive glass technology.
Glazed products with design sense and high quality can be sold at prices comparable to other luxury goods.
If they are given scarce attributes, their prices can surpass many luxury items!
Lynn can completely allow the current glass workshop to allocate a team of workers to focus on high-quality glazed production!
Even directly.
Establish Lynn’s territory as the origin and development site of high-quality glazed products!
Thus.
Attract wealthy merchants or nobility who favor glaze as a luxury to Morgan Town.
To purchase glazed products, then transport them to other regions of the continent.
As long as a complete industrial chain is formed with raw material supply, research and design, production, transportation and supply, and sales.
Then.
It will surely attract a large number of free people to Morgan Town!
Because a completed industrial chain means a great need for technical personnel and labor.
Even ordinary free people with no skills.
Can sell their physical strength to help merchants load and unload goods, earning a living wage.
Not only glaze industry.
The brewing industry can do the same.
As long as the glazed products and beverages from Lynn’s territory gain fame in Kakasong City, or the entire Karedi Empire.
It will surely attract a large population!
The only thing Lynn regrets.
Is the current Karedi Empire is amidst an imperial power struggle.
The Empire’s residents are living in dire hardships during this chaotic era.
Coupled with low productivity, most Empire citizens are still laboring tirelessly for food.
For Lynn to massively develop the economy, given the current situation, is utterly unrealistic!
He can only wait for the imperial power struggle to calm, a new Emperor to ascend, and for the Empire’s situation to stabilize, before making further plans.
Thinking of this.
A strong sense of crisis emerged in Lynn’s heart.
Once Karedi Empire’s imperial power struggle subsides.
Then.
The Empire’s Great Lords will begin internal consolidation!
For instance, Marquis Duca!
Previously, Mark Ducas issued summons to all Manor Lords and Lords in the Marquisate.
However.
As Lynn knows, no Manor Lords in Morgan Town responded.
All declined citing weakness, rampant bandits, long distances, and refused Mark Ducas’s call.
During wartime, Mark Ducas might overlook.
For the stability of the territory’s periphery and maintaining control.
But once the situation calms.
Mark Ducas will certainly dispatch Sword and Shield Corps soldiers to purge and suppress the Manor Lords and Lords in the territory!
Until that time.
If Mark Ducas is unaware that Lynn is alive, that’s one thing.
If he knows, he will certainly dispatch Sword and Shield Corps soldiers to press the border, conquer Morgan Town, conquer Lynn’s territory!
Thinking of this, Lynn’s mood sank.
The imperial power struggle, for him at the border, indeed won’t draw him into the flames of war.
Who becomes the Empire’s Emperor, whatever gruesome wars occur within the Empire, how many Great Lords and armored soldiers die in this war...
None of this relates to Lynn.
The impact Lynn faces is limited to economy, rising prices, and insufficient supply.
And merchants’ reluctance to trade frequently.
But Lynn must prepare thoroughly for when the imperial power struggle concludes.
Lynn needs to strive to develop during the imperial power struggle period!
Most critically, to stockpile food, build a defense line, expand the army, and advance technology!
Lynn is unsure how long the imperial power struggle will last.
Yet he must prepare early!
Listening to Lynn’s words, Layla nodded knowingly and responded.
"Yes, Master Lynn."
"Starting tomorrow, Layla will try her hand at design and production."
Lynn hummed thoughtfully and continued walking within the glass workshop.
Burning glaze causes minimal exhaustion to Lynn.
The greatest expense is the food supply for the hundreds of glass workers in the workshop, and the anthracite needed to fire the furnaces.
However.
Compared to each glazed product selling for the high price of two gold pounds.
This expense is negligible!
