Lynn oversaw the expansion of the blacksmith workshop, with Ehrelo managing the construction of new furnaces and apprentices refining their skills. He then visited the glass workshop, impressed by the variety of glazed products. Lynn encouraged Layla to explore creating new items like chandeliers and tableware, aiming to establish the territory as a hub for high-quality glazed goods and attract wealth. Lynn also considered the looming threat of Marquis Duca's consolidation of power after the ongoing imperial struggles and resolved to strengthen his territory's defenses, economy, and army in preparation.

Walking around the Glass Workshop.

Suddenly, something came to Lynn’s mind.

Turning his gaze, he looked at Layla who was following behind and asked.

"Where’s Beo?"

Upon hearing, Layla quickly bent down to respond.

"Master Lynn, Beo is still researching the telescope with Xenophon."

"However, as far as Layla knows, there hasn’t been much progress..."

Lynn nodded knowingly.

The research and production of the telescope belongs to a sophisticated level of scientific development.

Naturally, it cannot be as simple as firing red bricks or constructing houses.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lynn gave up the idea of finding Beo and Xenophon.

As he walked out of the Glass Workshop, Lynn instructed Layla.

"Try to make and reserve as many high-quality glazed glass products as possible."

"If the opportunity arises, I plan to develop Morgan Town into a glass-making town."

"At that time, it is very likely that many traveling merchants will come to Morgan Town to buy glazed glass products."

Layla’s eyebrows slightly raised, showing a look of surprise on her face.

Master Lynn wants to make Morgan Town a glass-making town?

Master Lynn wants to focus on developing the glass industry?

If this is true.

As the foreman of the Glass Workshop in Master Lynn’s territory, having mastered the glass-making techniques taught by Master Lynn.

She will become the most critical core member!

In other words.

She will be able to create more value and make more contributions for Master Lynn before her!

Thinking of this, Layla bent down again and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Master Lynn."

Lynn pondered for a moment, and continued.

"Besides glass-making, if Beo and Xenophon encounter difficulties in the research and production of the telescope, they can come to me at any time."

Layla responded again, saying.

"Layla will definitely convey Master Lynn’s instructions to Beo and Xenophon."

Lynn said no more, and with Layla’s gaze seeing him off, he walked out of the textile workshop and headed for the brewing workshop.

To develop the territory into a nation within a nation.

Of course, it is not just about vigorously developing land cultivation.

But also to fully develop the territory’s economy and handicraft industry.

For example, the glazed glass and liquor in Lynn’s territory.

As for the fine salt in the territory, Lynn plans to gradually reduce or stop external exchange and sales!

Because in Lynn’s view.

At this time, fine salt is a military resource!

In military battles, when soldiers’ physical strength is excessively consumed, they need to ingest enough salt to replenish the electrolytes lost due to sweating, etc.

Thus, ensuring their bodies have strength and combat power.

Without advanced food preservation technology, salt is also a very important food preservative.

Various meat foods pickled with salt can extend the shelf life.

Ensuring stable food supply for troops during long marches and battles.

And so on.

As long as Lynn develops the handicraft industry in the territory.

He will no longer need to exchange and sell fine salt externally.

Because.

Lynn will never know where the exchanged and sold fine salt will eventually end up.

It could very well be the territory he will attack in the future!

Why has Lynn been maintaining the five pence fine salt exchange and sale price from the beginning to now.

Aside from attracting more merchants to transport goods to the territory for trade.

Most importantly, Lynn needs to survive!

But now.

As more and more industries develop and grow in Lynn’s territory.

Lynn has more choices!

Before entering the brewing workshop, a strong scent of boiled and fermented barley drifted into Lynn’s nose.

Lynn even felt.

The area surrounding the brewing workshop for dozens of meters was enveloped in a rich aroma of liquor.

Leading Red into the brewing workshop, Lynn’s gaze moved around, scanning the scene before him.

Teams of brewing apprentices were orderly laboring in the workshop.

Whether selecting full-grain barley, or soaking barley in pottery jars, or using mash tuns to saccharify malt.

Or transferring the wort to fermentation barrels, adding yeast for fermentation...

Lex, as the foreman of the workshop, personally led the apprentices through the distillation process.

"You must be cautious!"

"Alcohol is obtained by repeatedly distilling large amounts of beer."

"If our work mistakes cause distillation failure and beer is wasted, it would be a huge dereliction of duty!"

"Because what we waste is not only beer, but the barley that farmers have painstakingly grown!"

Lex pondered for a moment and continued.

"Continue the distillation process!"

"The brewing workshop must not only distill enough gin for Master to sell."

"But also use gin to distill more high-proof alcohol!"

Hearing Lex’s emphatic words.

Dozens of apprentices engaged in distillation labor responded in unison.

"Yes, Master Lex!"

Lex nodded slightly and paced behind each brewing apprentice.

When Lex’s gaze shifted, a tall figure caught the corner of his eye.

Lex immediately turned his head to look.

Upon seeing it was Lynn, Lex raised his brows and quickly strode forward.

Coming before Lynn, Lex bent down to salute, respectfully saying.

"Master, you’re here."

Lynn gave Lex a look and spoke.

"The Double-chamber Reflector Furnace of the Blacksmith Workshop has just entered testing, so I came by to inspect."
