System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 880: Chapter 273: Celebrities of Kakasong City

Despite some doubts, standing before him was Master Lynn, whose intentions were unclear.

Boer nonetheless replied, "Everything will be done according to your instructions, Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded, "Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Boer."

Boer quickly shook his head, "Master Lynn, you’re too kind."

"Recruiting Free People isn’t complicated; you just need to go to the talent market to recruit."

"As long as the Free People find the compensation suitable, they will accept employment."

Kakasong City has at least tens of thousands of Free People.

Moreover, some Free People come from elsewhere.

It is indeed not something a small Morgan Town can compare to.

Besides, it is about to enter July.

Many Free People will take advantage of the summer harvest to find a well-paying, suitable job.

This moment is just the right time for recruitment.

Lynn nodded.

As long as there are Free People willing to come to Morgan Town for the summer harvest,

he has a way to keep them here!

Leaving aside benefits and treatment for now,

just providing food and lodging

is enough to tempt these Free People who worry daily about filling their stomachs.

Of course,

aside from having Boer hire Free People in Kakasong City,

he also needs to dispatch a batch of light cavalry to Morgan Town.

The number of Free People they can hire is yet unknown,

but preparatory guarding and protection must be ensured in advance.

With limited military strength, if a large number of Free People engage in crop harvesting,

they might flee with the harvested crops.

With the oversight and control of the light cavalry, it’s a different matter.

Suppressing his thoughts for now,

while waiting for the fine salt to be loaded, Lynn continued chatting with Boer.

Boer’s words carried a hint of lament.

"Master Lynn, you might not know yet."

"Right now you are already a renowned figure in Kakasong City."

Lynn looked at Boer with curiosity, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"Paying the Tithing is secondary."

"The most crucial thing is that Bishop Semo of the Church agreed unilaterally to recognize Morgan Town as under your domain."

"It can be said that apart from Viscount Jon Zack of Kakasong City, you are the lord with the most land in the entire Kakasong City area!"

"You’ve also become a topic of great interest during people’s idle conversations."

"Because, everyone is hearing for the first time that a single lord controls a whole town."

"Other towns typically have several to a dozen manor lords collectively balancing and controlling a town."

At this point, Boer suddenly remembered something and changed his tone.

"Of course, excluding Lady Janet from before."

Janet controlled all of Morgan Town at that time.

But within the bounds of Morgan Town, there was still the presence of Master Lynn.

Lynn slightly frowned and said, "Mr. Boer, such fame isn’t necessarily a good thing..."

An obscure lord suddenly emerges abruptly,

paying the Tithing that a crowd of manor lords and lords, even nobility, are unwilling to pay.

And even getting unilateral approval from the Church, claiming Morgan Town for this lord.

Such actions are indeed somewhat ostentatious.

One must know,

while Morgan Town is located on the southernmost edge of the Karedi Empire,

it still has a developed farmland area.

With large undeveloped and unexplored forests,

these forests hold abundant animal resources, plant resources...

Even undiscovered mineral resources.

Such a town, even in remote areas,

is still a target of countless lord nobility aiming to seize.

If it’s just an ordinary noble lord with limited military power,

he can still rely on cavalry and archers for deterrence and defense.

But if it’s like the Viscount Jon Zack mentioned by Boer...

That becomes an entirely different situation.

Thinking about this,

Lynn looked at Boer and asked, "Mr. Boer, the Viscount Jon Zack you mentioned, what kind of military power does he possess?"

Upon hearing this, Boer showed a look of embarrassment and shook his head.

"I’m sorry, Master Lynn, I am not familiar with the lord nobility here in Kakasong City."

It was only during trades with Master Lynn, exchanging fine salt, that he frequently visited Kakasong City this past year.

In the past, he only traded in basic crops.

Usually, the transaction processes could be completed right in Morgan Town.

He didn’t need to go to Kakasong City at all.

Considering the time and effort required to go to Kakasong City...

Boer shifted his words and quickly said, "But rest assured, Master Lynn, once I return to Kakasong City, I’ll inquire immediately for you."

Lynn replied.

Currently, he indeed has no connection with Viscount Jon Zack of Kakasong City.

So far, no interest conflicts have arisen.

However, just to be prepared,

he still needs to make beforehand preparations.

Considering all scenarios in the worst possible way,

he wouldn’t encounter unexpected incidents.

A few hours later,

under George’s guidance, all the barley and wheat on the wagon were unloaded.

The exchanged fine salt for Boer and fine salt purchasing were all loaded onto the wagons.

After Boer bid farewell to Lynn, he left with his wagon team.

Watching Boer depart into the distance, Lynn withdrew his gaze.
