System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 864: Chapter 270: Profession System and Reassignment

Sitting on the lord’s throne, Lynn glanced at the maids tidying up the tableware.

His thoughts continued to swirl in his mind.

To harvest the crops in Morgan Town,

he certainly wouldn’t deploy the townsmen from the territory for large-scale outings.

The best approach is to attract a large number of Free People from Kakasong City to Morgan Town to harvest for him!

Before obtaining the land ownership documents from the Kakasong City Church, he had already made his decision!

As long as Free People are willing to come to Morgan Town to harvest crops for him,

they can receive a tenth of the harvested crops!

Furthermore, if they are willing to stay in Morgan Town, he can allocate them corresponding houses and residences.

This is the most attractive condition he can think of and implement to attract Free People from Kakasong City.

If, like other lords, he offered a daily wage in pence to hire Free People, it certainly wouldn’t catch their attention.

There are many job opportunities in Kakasong City.

Moreover, it’s not lacking in wealthy nobility hiring them.

With the same labor rewards each day,

who would be willing to leave a city they’ve lived in for decades or generations,

to come to a remote town on the outskirts?

Even if there were a few, it certainly wouldn’t be many.

Therefore,

to attract more Free People, more manpower, to Morgan Town,

he is willing to offer a tenth of the crop yield.

Even obtaining only the remaining nine-tenths, it’s still a lucrative deal, with no loss at all.

It should be known.

These lands were cultivated and planted without any investment of manpower, materials, or effort from him.

It was only after exterminating the five manors of Morgan Town that he gained these extra spoils.

If afterward, these Free People are willing to reside in Morgan Town,

while he establishes the first garrison at Frank Manor Castle,

these manpower can be recruited as garrison soldiers.

Farming during peace, training during leisure, and fighting during war!

A win-win situation!

...

Time swiftly passed.

The originally quiet reception hall was filled with the sound of footsteps echoing from afar.

Upon hearing this, Lynn looked up, seeing several foremen of the workshops approaching.

The four Ehrelo individuals arrived before the steps of the lord’s throne and in unison called out, "Master."

Lynn glanced at them and said, "Wait a moment, Rose and Wesley have arrived at the Lord’s Square."

The four Ehrelo men responded and quietly waited.

A few minutes later,

the sound of footsteps with metallic clinks echoed from behind them.

The four slightly turned to look.

It was none other than Rose and Wesley, clad in armor.

Perhaps due to galloping on horseback, their hair was somewhat disheveled.

Upon coming in front of Lynn, Rose and Wesley glanced at the four Ehrelo men.

Only then did the two respectfully address Lynn, saying, "Master."

Lynn acknowledged with a nod.

His gaze moved around, confirming all six guards had arrived.

He directly stated, "Ladies and gentlemen, early last evening I received intelligence from spies in Kakasong City."

Rose and Wesley remained unfazed.

Guarding the city walls of the territory,

they naturally knew what intelligence Gasper had brought back.

The four Ehrelo men displayed evident confusion.

Lynn continued, "The intelligence reports that the Emperor of the Kaladi Empire, Charlemagne VI, was assassinated four days ago."

"The murderer is his second son, Caesar Carolin."

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, the eyes of the four Ehrelo men widened instantly.

Filled with disbelief.

The Emperor of the Empire wields the supreme authority of the Empire!

The entire Kaladi Empire belongs to him.

To think that he was murdered!

Most crucially, it was by his own son!

Being ordinary people, the Ehrelo men naturally felt deeply shocked.

Lynn didn’t care about their shock, continuing to speak.

"The struggle for imperial power, though distant for us in the remote area,

"is certain to drastically alter the entire landscape of the Kaladi Empire!"

Listening to the words from Master Lynn’s mouth,

they nodded in agreement.

What a phrase ’Under a toppled nest, no eggs remain intact’!

Before coming to Master Lynn’s territory, they were merely ordinary Free People or even Peasants.

They naturally understood what consequences a war would bring.

Bloody battles, the death of loved ones, the destruction of homes...

Even themselves as Free People being sold off as slaves indiscriminately!

Seeing everyone silent, Lynn continued speaking.

"Therefore, to ensure that this territory survives better amid the upcoming chaos,"

"I need to adjust the teams led by and under the management of you all."

Rose Ehrelo’s expression became serious, waiting for their lord’s instructions.

Lynn stated, "Only a few days remain until the Red Brick House expansion area is completed."

"Nearly 2,500 units of manpower will temporarily be idle."

"Initially, I planned to have them expand the roads within the territory."

"But now, the road expansion plan is postponed."

"I want to dispatch all of them to your workshops — focusing on production and manufacturing!"

Lorin Ehrelo’s expression showed slight surprise upon hearing this.
