System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 882: Chapter 273: Celebrities of Kakasong City (10,000 Words) (Part 3)

Afterwards, twenty thousand acres were used for planting peas, and ten thousand acres for planting pasture.

Now that June hasn’t ended yet, Gavin has already exceeded the task!

Of course.

Besides Gavin’s leadership and management.

A big reason is that there are more plow oxen in the territory.

With more plow oxen, using the wheel plow for cultivation, naturally more arable land can be opened up.

Lynn approvingly said, "Well done."

"For the next three days, continue cultivating, and it’s best to cultivate forty thousand acres of farmland."

"Afterwards, assign them to Wilbur, and once the winter barley is harvested, start planting peas and pasture."

Gavin was just about to reply when he seemed to think of something.

He asked somewhat puzzled, "Master, should we assign all the townsmen to Wilbur?"

Lynn nodded, "Yes, let Wilbur manage them."

"I need to assign you to Morgan Town to lead the newly recruited free people to harvest all the crops there!"

Gavin bowed his head slightly, without any words, seemingly pondering something.

Lynn asked, "Gavin, if you have any questions, you can speak directly."

Gavin responded quickly upon hearing this, "Master, you misunderstood, Gavin has no questions."

"Gavin will act according to your instructions."

Lynn acknowledged, "Both you and Wilbur have been with me for a long time, and I have observed your performances."

"As townsmen under the lord, the lord’s instructions are commands."

"I originally don’t have to explain to you."

"However, I’m still willing to tell you the reasons."

Gavin listened intently.

Lynn explained, "In agricultural production, you and Wilbur are the townsmen most familiar and knowledgeable with the planting methods I taught."

"I trust your abilities!"

"This is also why I appointed you as foremen, to lead and teach those new arrivals to the territory."

"Agricultural production in the territory is important, and so is the production in Morgan Town."

"In this territory I possess, the land area available for cultivation is large, at least three hundred thousand acres."

"But this large area is only relative."

"As time goes on and the population in the territory increases, even if I continuously improve the planting techniques in agricultural production."

"The amount of food that can be produced from these three hundred thousand acres of farmland will ultimately have a limit."

Gavin was silent, only nodding in agreement.

What Master Lynn said was not complicated.

Lynn continued, "Thus, if the territory wants to support more population and have more labor force, it has to have more arable land!"

"Compared to the wasteland outside the city walls, which requires a lot of labor for reclamation."

"The land in Morgan Town, which is already in cultivation, is obviously more suitable."

"Of course, the distance between Morgan Town and the territory is quite far, potentially facing unknown dangers."

"This is an undeniable fact."

"But for the territory to continue to strengthen and survive in chaos, it has to take this risk."

Gavin shuddered suddenly.

He looked up, directly meeting Lynn’s gaze, and declared firmly.

"Master, Gavin is willing to go to Morgan Town, even if it means death, I will not retreat!"

Lynn smiled helplessly, "Rest assured, even if I send you leading a group of farmers to Morgan Town."

"I will also arrange a cavalry team to go together to ensure your safety."

"Besides, Earl is still in Morgan Town at the moment."

Hearing this, Gavin couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.

He gratefully said, "Thank you, Master."

Lynn responded with a nod.

He dismissed Gavin, letting him continue leading the townsmen in the next wave of cultivation.

He strode back towards the small town.

With the matters of harvesting in the territory and Morgan Town settled.

What he needed to do now was to arrange for the blacksmith workshop to improve the harvesting tools!

Returning to the small town, he entered the handicraft workshop district.

With attention from several blacksmith apprentices, Lynn walked into the blacksmith workshop.

Lynn directly called for the foreman Ehrelo.

Striding forward, Ehrelo approached Lynn somewhat puzzled, and called out, "Master?"

Lynn nodded, getting straight to the point, "Select two hundred blacksmith apprentices with some forging experience to learn my production of the Serrated Scythe!"

Ehrelo’s eyebrows instantly rose, "Serrated Scythe?"

He was just about to continue asking when he noticed Lynn giving him a stern look.

Ehrelo said no more, promptly responding, "Yes, Master, I will arrange it now."

With these words.

Ehrelo immediately stepped back and began making arrangements.

After searching momentarily, Lynn strode to a comparatively tidy forging station.

He put on a thick leather apron and a pair of heavy gloves.

Grabbing a long-handled iron clamp nearby, he opened the kiln not far away.

In an instant, a surge of scorching hot air rushed over Lynn’s body.

The intense heat and burning sensation abruptly struck.

This wave of heat was at least several hundred degrees!

Lynn simply furrowed his brow, swiftly moving his right hand to quickly grab a piece of glowing red-orange iron from the intensely burning kiln.

Placing the iron on the anvil, Lynn immediately shut the kiln’s iron extraction gate.

Only then did the intense heat gradually subside.

But in just a few seconds, sweat had already soaked the back of Lynn!
