System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 854: Chapter 268: Literacy Campaign (10,000 Words) Part 5

"I’m sorry, my Lord, it was Ailin’s lack of understanding!"

Lynn smiled calmly and said, "Then, Scholar Ailin, please convey my message."

"Teaching the townsmen to read and write is a task I entrust to you and the other scholars."

Ailin replied, "Understood, Master Lynn."

After finishing his instructions to Ailin,

Lynn spoke no more and began walking out of the town, watched by many eyes.

Ailin remained standing in her spot.

As she watched Master Lynn’s figure walk along the limestone road, gradually disappearing into the distance,

Even now,

Ailin’s mind was still immersed in contemplating and savoring the words Lynn had just spoken.

Her admiration for Lynn only grew stronger.

Indeed.

To develop a barren wasteland into a town within a couple of years.

How could such visionary thinking be the same as that of ordinary people?

If Master Lynn’s ’literacy campaign’ is successfully implemented,

and the townsmen’s literacy is improved through night school,

whether for the townsmen on Master Lynn’s land or for the territory itself,

this will be a monumental achievement!

A grand undertaking marking a new era!

Because,

in this world, due to the rigid class system, social hierarchy is strictly enforced.

Lords deem their lordly powers as divinely granted!

Ordinary residents, especially peasants, are born to be ruled by the lords.

Their sole purpose is to provide labor and resources for the lords!

But Master Lynn has realized that by elevating the townsmen’s knowledge, he can enhance the productivity and efficiency of his territory!!!

Such a lord she had never encountered before!

Suppressing her thoughts,

Ailin made her way towards the red brick residential area behind her.

She needed to promptly confirm the construction standards and site for the Territory Court with Clive, then submit it for Master Lynn’s approval.

Once the Territory Court is built and operational,

due to Master Lynn’s established prestige in the territory, conflicts among townsmen are minimal.

She could efficiently manage the court’s duties during the day,

and at night, continue providing literacy education to the townsmen!

How much further could Master Lynn develop this territory?

What heights could he lead these townsmen to?

Ailin confessed, she couldn’t fathom.

Because all she saw and heard thus far had already surpassed her understanding!

As a scholar on Master Lynn’s territory,

she only needed to follow Master Lynn’s instructions and commands; that would be enough.

...

Walking through vast farmlands,

Lynn arrived at the expansion area of the Wild Boar Farm.

He picked up the plastering knife placed nearby and immersed himself in the expansion work of the farm once more.

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

...

Bit by bit, his experience quickly accumulated.

Simultaneously, time was passing rapidly.

Not until evening did Lynn put down the plastering knife.

Standing on the outermost part of the farm expansion area,

Lynn’s gaze swept over the workers wrapping up their tasks.

Jode, who was in charge of directing the construction workers, strode over to Lynn.

He slightly bowed and respectfully reported to Lynn.

"Master Lynn, by the end of today, four newly built Wild Boar Farms will be completed."

"Shall we continue with the expansion?"

Lynn turned to Jode and replied,

"Yes, continue."

"However, from now on, the construction should proceed at a more leisurely pace, there’s no need to rush."

"Form a small team of twenty people; leave them on the ranch."

"They will handle the ongoing expansion of the farm and any necessary building within the ranch."

Previously, as there were ample magic ores available and an abundance of idle Forest Pigs,

he naturally wanted to swiftly complete the farm, capable of breeding a hundred and fifty Forest Pigs,

so it could be quickly put into breeding use.

It was known that even adult Forest Pigs needed a year of breeding in the Mutated Wild Boar Farm,

to grow to three thousand pounds, suitable for cavalry riding.

Though the breeding cycle was lengthy,

compared to the breeding cycle of warhorses, which often takes two to three years or even longer,

the efficiency of breeding wild boars is much quicker.

Lynn continued, "The expansion of the Wild Boar Farm can proceed gradually,"

"but we need to start the construction of another structure... for breeding pigeons, the Pigeon Nest!"

Listening to Lynn’s instructions, Jode showed little surprise.

Previously, Flint had already showed them the design blueprints.

The Pigeon Nest wasn’t particularly large.

It almost resembled a tower,

primarily using stone, timber, and kiln-baked bricks and tiles.

The reason was to give pigeons a vast view, and ease of breeding, and facilitate subsequent training.

Jode responded, "Yes, Lord."

After instructing Jon, Lynn left the farm under the glow of the setting sun.

Amidst the respectful gazes of the townsmen returning to the town,

Lynn, accompanied by Red, headed back towards the town.

He had just returned to Lord’s Square, planning to arrange for a Guard to fetch Flint,

when Lynn’s glance caught sight of Flint approaching.

Almost without needing Lynn to summon him, Flint hurried towards him with brisk, small steps.

Upon meeting Lynn, Flint spoke, "My Lord, I was just about to seek you out..."
