System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1317 - 345: Dwarf Kingdom (10,000)

As long as there is a corresponding division of labor in place, and they are given enough time.

The efficiency of production in forging will naturally improve over time!

Next.

Lynn plans to deploy seven hundred people to the textile workshop led by Yimini.

With the previous one thousand three hundred textile workers, the total workforce will reach two thousand!

Although it may not completely solve the labor shortage problem in the textile workshop.

To a large extent, it can improve the production efficiency of the textile workshop.

Then.

There’s Jose’s Bow and Arrow Workshop.

The production and output capability of the Bow and Arrow Workshop’s [Standard Longbow] and [Zhuge Crossbow].

Directly impacts the medium-range combat capability of the army soldiers!

Lynn plans to add another eight hundred workers to join the existing seven hundred apprentices, forming a team of fifteen hundred for crossbow production.

Mass production and manufacturing of [Standard Longbow] and [Zhuge Crossbow]!

Next.

The shipyard by the Aladia River.

Lynn plans to send another three hundred workers to join the effort.

Even though shipbuilding is not yet the focus of Lynn’s development.

However.

Lynn still needs to prepare in advance.

By involving more shipbuilders in the production of Kirk Ships, increasing the water transport capability within the territory,

while allowing more workers to learn and master shipbuilding skills.

Once Lynn resolves the waterfall downstream in his territory and begins to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry.

Lynn can easily mobilize these shipbuilders for the production of longships or warships.

Next.

The pastures outside the town need more labor input.

Whether for the breeding of livestock and poultry in the pastures or for the expansion of the pastures.

However.

Lynn only plans to allocate one hundred workers to join the pastures.

Lastly.

The remaining fifteen hundred people, Lynn plans to have them join the excavation of the three major mineral resources in the territory.

Seven hundred people for iron ore excavation, seven hundred for coal mining, and a hundred for salt mining and the production of fine salt!

An hour later.

Lynn finally completed the distribution of all four thousand two hundred workers.

Under the leadership of Ehrelo and the armored soldiers.

The four thousand two hundred workers formed teams and dispersed from Lord’s Square.

Some went to the Handicraft Workshop District, others went to the shipyard by Aladia River, or to the pastures outside the town and the three major mining areas...

Soon.

The once bustling Lord’s Square became quiet.

Only a few farmers pushing two-wheeled carts and a few children playing remained...

Sitting on a wooden chair, Lynn pondered.

With these four thousand two hundred people, the population of Lynn Territory has reached twenty-six thousand two hundred!

Yet Lynn couldn’t help but sigh at the insufficient workforce.

Lynn had only augmented the industries particularly in need of labor with a few hundred workers.

The four thousand two hundred workers just brought back by Rose were directly allocated completely!

The planned expansion of roads within the territory had to be postponed once again.

If there was no more workforce coming into the territory afterwards,

Lynn could only wait for the arrival of winter.

At that time.

Farmers in the fields wouldn’t need to engage in cultivation and planting.

He could then redeploy farmers to expand the roads within the territory.

However.

Lynn also understood.

With four thousand two hundred workers joining various industries,

whether in mining excavation or production within the Handicraft Workshop,

perhaps within a short period, there might not be a significant boost in production efficiency.

But as these new workers master the skills and become proficient.

Their production efficiency will increase dramatically!

Suppressing his thoughts momentarily, Lynn rose from the wooden chair and walked towards the Handicraft Workshop District.

At the time, Ehrelo was lecturing to the newly joined blacksmith apprentices.

In the incredulous eyes of the new blacksmith apprentices.

Lynn joined the construction team on the third double-chamber reflector furnace.

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

...

Incremental experiences continuously accrued.

As Lynn relentlessly worked on his [Construction] skills, time swiftly slipped by.

In the blink of an eye.

Night descended, shrouding the entire world.

...

Elsewhere under the night’s cloak.

A carriage rushed forward under the escort of six or seven guards.

With the constant urging of horses by the guards and the coachman.

The carriage traveled along the gravel road.

Where it passed, dust and stones flew, startling the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests on both sides.

Inside the carriage.

Megan Edwin, clad in a black low-cut long dress, sat poised within.

Megan’s gaze, through the window, fixed intently on the rapidly retreating tree trunks on the right, her expression heavy and her finely shaped eyebrows furrowed in thought.

Clearly.

Megan was contemplating something.

At this moment.

A burly man on horseback slowed his horse slightly, approaching the side of the carriage.

The burly man gravely reminded, "Lady Megan, we are about to enter Cyan Fern Valley."

Hearing the familiar voice of the burly man, Megan instantly snapped out of her reverie.

Glancing at the burly man, Megan responded verbally.

"I understand, Captain Keith."

"Inform all the guards that once we enter Cyan Fern Valley, no matter what happens, no one is to act rashly!"

"Otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves!"

Guard Captain Keith Ward responded.

"Yes, Lady Megan."

Seeing that Lady Megan had no further instructions, Keith flicked the reins in his hands, quickening the pace of his horse’s gallop.

He went to the front of the carriage convoy and issued instructions to several guard members.

The carriage convoy continued its progression.

But as they moved forward, the mountain forest ahead grew deeper and darker.

The density of tree crowns in the forest above even concealed the night sky overhead.

The cold and damp mountain breeze blew through, causing the guards riding on horseback to shiver slightly.

Facing the encroaching darkness ahead, Guard Captain Keith couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.

In such an environment, if a bandit corps or other forces were lying in ambush.

There would be no escape for all of them!

Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly.

Several sharp whistling sounds cut through from the darkened woods on both sides.

Keith’s ears twitched; his gaze shifted to the right.

The tips of two arrows swiftly launched in Keith’s view.

Keth was startled in his heart; he quickly gripped the longsword at his waist. With a ’sching’ sound, he swiftly drew and slashed twice.

Crack crack~

The sound of the sword cleaving arrows rang out in the night.

But in the next second.

A muffled, pained voice from taking an arrow, accompanied by the thud of a heavy body hitting the ground, sounded behind Keith.

Keith’s heart sank; he quickly glanced back.

He saw a guard with an arrow in his chest already fallen to the ground, lifeless!

Keith furrowed his brows tightly and immediately addressed the remaining guards in a grave tone.

"Ambush in the forest!"

"Protect Lady Megan at all costs!"
