Lynn rallied his subordinates on the imminent war, urging total commitment for the territory's survival and growth before dismissing them. He contemplated fortifying defenses and prioritizing internal development like farmland, workshops, and farms over external conquests. Retiring to bathe, he shared an intimate three-day encounter with Janet, awakening early thereafter.

Lynn stepped out from the bedroom.

Arriving at the reception hall, he finished his breakfast before departing the castle alongside Red.

With summer in full swing right now.

Although the hour was merely about six or seven in the morning.

The whole sky had already lit up completely.

A streak of golden radiance emerged from the far eastern horizon, draping a golden sheen over the vast land.

Beneath the gazes of admiration and reverence from the townsfolk.

Lynn moved past lines of red brick dwellings.

He reached the town's rearmost section, the zone for expanding red brick houses.

Freshly built rows of red brick houses immediately drew his attention.

Over three thousand red brick houses stood in tidy formation right before him.

Matching hues, identical dimensions, and even spacing front to back.

Merely observing from a distance evoked a profound sensation of harmony.

Water wells for drinking, communal baths for hygiene, and shared latrines...

Pathways amid the red brick structures were all neatly laid with red bricks.

Besides the red brick houses themselves, greenery trees had been uprooted and replanted!

A setup of this magnitude.

Far more organized than the earlier uniform red brick house builds.

Evidently.

The red brick house expansion zone had entered its final touches phase.

Squads of townsmen were pushing handcarts, transporting furnishings into every red brick house.

Once all required furniture gets placed inside the homes.

The six thousand townsmen retrieved from Morgan Town and Frank Manor, post-registration, could settle in!

He had pondered.

Initiating job training among those six thousand townsmen, followed by evaluations.

Then assigning them standardized lodgings.

In the end, Lynn opted to begin with the upcoming labor group.

This current labor batch needed deployment into the craft workshops to boost output rates.

At the same time, ongoing wasteland farming must persist.

As Lynn surveyed the red brick house expansion zone.

Clive approached from ahead, accompanied by two townsmen.

Standing before Lynn, Clive bowed deeply and greeted, "Master Lynn."

Lynn inquired, "Are the red brick houses fully constructed?"

Clive got straight to the point, stating, "It can be considered completed."

"Should you wish to reallocate these townsmen, spare me a few hundred, which ought to suffice."

"They're required for crafting furniture and erecting the territory court as you ordered."

Lynn eyed Clive in astonishment, "Has the territory court's layout been settled?"

Clive quickly answered, "Scholar Erin outlined the specs to me roughly, so I sketched an initial blueprint per her guidelines."

"Given my focus on scheming and building these red brick houses, progress on the drawings has been slow."

"A few more days might pass before I present it for your approval and choice."

Lynn nodded, "I'll assign you five hundred people."

"Whether wrapping up these red brick houses or advancing the territory court build, speed will increase."

Clive exclaimed happily, "Thank you very much, Master."

"I'll rally the townsmen right away!"

Lynn acknowledged, observing Clive stride off energetically.

After Clive assembled the townsmen at the Lord’s Square.

Lynn gazed upon the assembly in front of him.

A stir touched his heart.

So this is the thrill of plentiful manpower.

Casually summoning just some townsmen yielded two thousand five hundred strong!

Yet these two thousand five hundred townsmen comprised merely one-tenth of his territory's populace!

Lynn skipped climbing the platform for a rousing address to the townsmen.

Instead, he directed guards to fetch the foremen from the Blacksmith Workshop, Textile Workshop, Woodworker Workshop, and Bow and Arrow Workshop.

He gave brief directives to the four foremen, sending them off with the townsmen to their workshops.

Blacksmith Workshop and Textile Workshop each claimed seven hundred workers.

Woodworker Workshop and Bow and Arrow Workshop each took five hundred fifty.

Thus, the two thousand five hundred laborers found their assignments.

Lynn's mind eased a bit.

His next task now.

Was patiently awaiting these workers to forge extra weapons, armor, and crossbows for him.

With a mental command, Lynn accessed the "Heavenly Artifacts" interface.

[Construction: Level 3 (976/1000)] (+)

The Construction ability lacked just several dozen points to advance to level four.

Lynn wasted no time, heading straight to the farm beyond the town.

One hundred fifty wild boars were confined within the Mutated Wild Boar Farm, subject to enhanced reproduction.

Adjacent to the farm.

Under Jode's guidance, the construction workers were erecting the Pigeon Nest.

Without uttering a single word, Lynn immediately threw himself into the construction crew.

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

His experience points climbed swiftly.

This went on until the afternoon.

Suddenly, a notification panel materialized in front of Lynn.

[Your Construction leveled up to 4, unlocking: Profession System and Reassignment]

[Reward obtained: Special Promotion Book ×1]

Gazing at the panel right before him, Lynn arched his eyebrows.

He already knew about the Profession System.

Production professions encompassed Farmer, Miner, Craftsman, Woodcutter, Tailor, Chef, and more.

Combat professions covered Cavalry, Infantry, Archer, and others.

However, this “Profession System and Reassignment” caught him off guard…

With just a thought, Lynn pulled up the “Heavenly Artifacts” interface for inspection.

Toward the bottom of the screen, a brand-new icon showing a crossed shield and flag popped up.

Lynn tapped it right away.

In an instant, a series of character info panels appeared in his view.

Lynn creased his brow faintly while glancing over them.

After a quick scan.

Lynn fully comprehended the role and intent behind the “Profession System and Reassignment.”

To put it simply.

The “Profession System and Reassignment” let him allocate different professions to the townsfolk.

For instance, turning a townsman into a “Farmer.”

That individual would then acquire a special bonus.

[Farmer]: Increases cultivation speed by 10%, increases crop yield by 10%

Each other profession came with its own distinct bonuses.

[Miner]: Increases mining speed by 10%, improves ore quality by 10%

[Craftsman]: …

[Woodcutter]: …

Observing these rows of detailed text, a wave of delight surged in Lynn’s heart.

At first look.

A mere 10% boost might look trivial for a single worker.

But.

Assigning professions to nearly twenty thousand townsmen would layer on those enhancement effects across the board.

That changes everything.

Even more crucially.

These were pure extra effects!

On top of that, he could still raise the townsmen’s education levels to push their skills and productivity even higher!
