Lynn directed Layla to focus on producing glazed glass, with plans to develop Morgan Town into a glass-making hub. He also instructed that Beo and Xenophon should seek his help if they encountered issues with telescope research. Lynn then visited the brewing workshop, observing the meticulous distillation process led by Lex. He emphasized the importance of producing not only gin for sale but also high-proof alcohol. Lynn's overall goal is to develop his territory's economy and handicraft industries, seeing fine salt as a strategic military resource that should be conserved.

Lex nodded in understanding.

The newly built furnace at the Blacksmith Workshop has a chimney as tall as fifteen meters.

Apart from Master Lynn’s castle, it is already the tallest building!

Looking at the equipment being used for distillation processing in the workshop, Lynn asked.

"How much alcohol can the brewing workshop produce daily now?"

Upon hearing Master Lynn’s inquiry, Lex’s expression became serious and he responded.

"Master, the current brewing workshop can produce about 500 jins of gin per day, and 1,000 jins of beer."

The high-proof alcohol that can be produced is about 100 jins.

In Lynn’s mind, the calculations were swift.

With 1,000 jins of beer produced daily, that’s 30,000 jins a month.

With 500 jins of gin produced daily, that’s 15,000 jins a month.

If only used for trading with Hunter, this production scale would be sufficient.

But for future large-scale gin sales, it’s far from enough!

Once the exchange and sale of fine salt stop,

The sale of glazed glass and fine salt will become the most important economic source in the Lynn Territory.

The production scale of the brewing workshop must be further expanded!

Lynn looked directly at Lex and said.

"Such output is far from enough."

"The production capacity of the brewing workshop needs at least 2,000 jins of beer and 1,000 jins of gin!"

"The alcohol production must also reach 200 jins!"

Among these, the most important is alcohol!

With the ongoing development of the territory, there will be a massive demand for alcohol in various industries.

For instance, as a solvent for making medicine, or for disinfection in future surgeries.

Or, for leather processing and dyeing, among other uses. Listening to Lynn’s words, Lex hurriedly responded.

Lex lowered his head and replied.

"Yes, Master."

"Lex will do his utmost to increase the production of the brewing workshop!"

Lynn shook his head, speaking with a firm tone.

"Lex, I need it to be certain, not just possible!"

If there’s any need, you can come to me directly or report it to Kuisi.

Lex’s expression became serious, bowing even lower, and he responded promptly.

"Yes, Master! Lex guarantees to complete the task!"

Lynn let out a deep hum, pacing through the brewing workshop.

Perhaps because the brewing workshop was engaged in brewing labor every day,

The apprentices in the workshop were well-skilled in beer brewing techniques.

But, they seemed a bit unfamiliar with operating the distillation equipment, particularly in distilling gin and alcohol.

Lynn pondered for a moment and then quickly understood the situation.

Gin and beer require distillation equipment to produce.

The production process is far more complex than brewing beer.

After a round of inspection, allowing Lex to continue leading the apprentices in their tasks, Lynn left the brewing workshop.

Walking past each workshop building and along the red brick road beneath his feet, Lynn arrived at the Lord’s Square.

Seated on the edge of a bench at Lord’s Square, Lynn gazed into the distance.

In the sky, patches of clouds looked as if they were set ablaze.

Presenting clumps of burning flame-like, with a touch of orange-yellow amidst the crimson.

Under the illumination of this sunset glow.

The vast farmlands outside the town, the farmers toiling in cultivation, even the town’s houses...

Were all covered in a layer of crimson hue.

And with the smoke wafting from the chimneys of the red brick houses,

Lynn’s constantly tense mind slightly relaxed.

Lynn found.

Compared to Morgan Town, where there is always the potential threat of enemy attack,

He only feels noticeably more relaxed when residing on this piece of territory beneath his feet.

While enjoying the setting sun, Lynn contemplated the future development direction of the territory in his mind.

In terms of agricultural production and cultivation.

Lynn had already issued an announcement appointing Wilbur as the Agricultural Officer of the territory.

Under Wilbur’s leadership, with 6,000 farmers, along with a substantial number of oxen and wheel plows,

Lynn had no concerns regarding cultivation and planting labor.

In terms of handicraft workshops.

Glass Workshop, Brewing Workshop, Bow and Arrow Workshop, Blacksmith Workshop, Shipyard and Textile Workshop, and so on.

Lynn had already laid out the future labor tasks.

The only thing left to wait for now is the completion of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace construction at the Blacksmith Workshop.

Waiting for the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace to start smelting and producing the first batch of low-carbon steel!

The apprentices at the Blacksmith Workshop will then forge various needed steel products.

In terms of breeding.

Even though the large pasture now has a large number of poultry and livestock,

It still remains within the management capacity of the ranch workers led by Guy.

Otherwise.

Guy, as the foreman, would have long run to Lynn, asking him to allocate more labor to him.

...

After contemplating all the industries within the territory,

Lynn discovered, aside from needing to allocate some labor to boost mining efficiency through increased excavation,

And reallocating labor to expand the soon-to-be crowded pastures,

The other industries are developing in an orderly and stable manner.

Which, for Lynn, is naturally a good thing!

As long as the territory enters into an orderly development and stable production,

Then,

The Lynn Territory will accumulate an increasingly significant foundation.

The most critical aspect is.

Without needing to invest more energy in territory management, Lynn will have more time to do what he wants!

For instance, continuing to exert effort on forging the Nine Great Skills experience.

Or, continuing to exert effort on [Fishing], obtaining more energy stones and various skills.

Or even, exploring the forest to find more useful mineral veins.
