System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 865 - 270: Profession System and Reassignment

They realized.

The Handicraft Workshop District currently employs.

Almost half of Master Lynn's total workforce!

Yet Master Lynn plans more changes?

Still.

They grasped it well.

How vital the Handicraft Workshop District is to Lord Lynn’s territory growth.

While agriculture development guarantees food for every resident, forming the base of territory progress.

Handicrafts development then bolsters agriculture.

Handicraft Workshops alone craft sufficient tools, weapons, and armor.

Guaranteeing agriculture advances without hitches.

Lynn shifted his gaze to Rose at his right side, inquiring.

"What's the gap in weapons and armor for outfitting the soldiers?"

Rose replied without delay: "Master, counting the fresh 1,000 recruits, we lack 1,200 sets still."

Lynn shot back, eyes locking on Ehrelo and Yimini, "Way too sluggish!"

Sensing Lynn’s intense stare and sharp rebuke.

Ehrelo and Yimini both bowed their heads involuntarily.

Lynn went on: "I understand your current workforce size and output rates."

"Even pushing overtime, that's the max you hit."

Complex feelings filled Ehrelo and Yimini’s expressions.

Yet they stayed silent.

In the territory now, most follow a standard nine-to-five routine.

Their Blacksmith Workshop and weaving workshop run from nine till eight!

Even so.

No gripes from them.

They recognized the Blacksmith Workshop and weaving workshop's crucial role for Master Lynn.

And their value to the whole territory.

Lynn declared, "Higher output from Handicraft Workshops would free up these 2,500 folks for other tasks."

"Like the infrastructure projects I mentioned before in the territory."

"But low efficiency now forces me to boost manpower to ramp up production."

"From those 2,500, I'll assign 700 to the Blacksmith Workshop and weaving workshop for forging and weaving weapons plus armor."

His Blacksmith Workshop already handles 1,700 workers.

Tack on 700, reaching 2,400 strong.

Laborers numbering like a small town's populace.

A tad excessive, right!

Lynn fixed his stare on Ehrelo, voice grave: "Foreman Ehrelo!"

At his call, Ehrelo stiffened and promptly answered: "Master."

Lynn pressed: "Lead them to max effort immediately!"

"In two months, every territory soldier must don armor and wield matching weapons!"

"Any issues?"

Hearing that, tension gripped Ehrelo.

Two months to forge 1,000 armor and weapon sets!

The Blacksmith Workshop's output has surged from past levels.

Before, daily Armor Plates hit 15,000; now, with more Blacksmith Apprentices nailing core forging skills.

Daily Armor Plates climb to 18,000!

Such massive figures in thousands dazzle at first glance.

But.

Minus rare special pieces, most Armor Plates measure just three to five centimeters across!

Assembling one full Composite Armor demands thousands of these plates.

Thus, 18,000 daily yields barely a dozen complete sets.

Per Master Lynn’s command, forging 1,000 sets of Armor Plates in two months...

With incoming 700 extra hands.

The Blacksmith Workshop can pull it off!

Ehrelo got it.

From the lord’s throne, Master Lynn clearly mastered the Blacksmith Workshop's present output details.

He gave this directive after careful deliberation.

A surge of deep respect welled in Ehrelo’s chest.

He bowed swiftly, affirming resolutely: "No issue."

"Should we fail to deliver 1,000 sets of Composite Armor Plates and weapons in two months."

"Ehrelo accepts whatever punishment Master deems fit!"

Lynn nodded approvingly, "Good."

With that, Lynn’s eyes swung to Yimini.

"Foreman Yimini, Blacksmith Workshop and weaving workshop support each other."

"Superior forging from Blacksmith Workshop means nothing if your weaving workshop lags in assembly."

"Armor production speed stays bottled up!"

Yimini responded at once: "Master, rest easy."

"Provided the Blacksmith Workshop forges sufficient Armor Plates, the weaving workshop vows to finish the weaving production within one week upon receiving the Armor Plates!"

Lynn gave a faint nod.

Gazing upon Ehrelo and Yimini, whose expressions stood slightly more erect.

A quiet sigh stirred within Lynn's heart.

Although he had earlier erected a Forging Water Wheel, harnessing water power for the forging process.

Harnessing water power for extensive forging operations remained somewhat inefficient.

Yet,

No matter the slowness, it outpaced the old reliance on manual iron hammer swings for forging.

The water-powered forging efficiency had soared dramatically indeed.

Lynn's eyes shifted anew toward Colin and Jose.

To check the manufacturing advances in the Woodworker Workshop and Bow and Arrow Workshop.

Only after probing every workshop's progress.

Did Lynn halt his inquiries.

His grave gaze swept across the six once more, before he declared.
