System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 892: Chapter 275: Commander (10,000 Words)

Boer felt that the recruitment of two thousand Free People was only the baseline.

The land area of Morgan Town is at least over a hundred thousand acres!

Such a broad expanse of land, if it had been previously divided among a few Manor Lords for planting, would be fine.

Each manor has one to two thousand laborers, naturally capable of easily planting all the land in Morgan Town.

But now it’s different.

Master Lynn has taken all of Morgan Town’s labor force back to his own territory.

Now, to conduct the harvesting and planting in Morgan Town, and to develop agriculture.

Relying on just two thousand Free People is certainly insufficient.

The Guard Captain by his side responded, "Master Boer, you can rest assured."

"With the reputation you’re gradually accumulating in Kakasong City, plus the incredible employment conditions offered by Master Lynn."

"Recruiting more Free People from Kakasong City shouldn’t be difficult..."

Boer’s mind also pondered slightly.

Indeed, just as his Guard Captain Art said.

Not to mention the food and lodging provided to townsmen in Master Lynn’s territory.

Just the fact that Free People in Morgan Town can earn a tenth of the harvest from a hundred pounds of grain.

Such employment rewards, it’s not just unexpected for him.

Even these Free People who’ve been farmers for generations have never heard of such a thing.

But Boer thought further.

Isn’t this Master Lynn’s usual approach?

Whether it’s the internal development of his territory, or external economic strategies.

They’re ideas he’s never heard or seen, and cannot even imagine.

The most crucial thing is.

Master Lynn succeeded!

Successfully developing his territory from just a few wooden huts to its current scale.

Moreover, through continuous efforts, expanded the planting scale, engaged in external trade, forged weapons and armor, recruited soldiers, and built an army.

Step by step, he consumed and occupied Morgan Town outside his territory.

Eventually, becoming the sole Lord controlling Morgan Town!

Thinking about Master Lynn’s development trajectory, Boer’s previously calm heart began to stir.

Even if Master Lynn’s expansion development halted at Morgan Town.

Once his achievements spread, they will certainly become a topic of praise and admiration!

Of course.

Boer knew clear in his heart.

With the land, labor force, armed soldiers that Master Lynn possesses now...

Plus his extraordinary wisdom.

Master Lynn’s expansion development certainly won’t stop here!

He even vaguely felt.

As long as Master Lynn continues to develop.

He might even create a legend that will make the Karedi Empire and even the Garonia Continent tremble!

No, to be precise—an Imperial Myth!

If Master Lynn really achieves this step.

Then Boer Hansen will be among the few who witnessed the process!

Until then.

Having cooperated and traded so many times with Master Lynn, what changes will he also undergo?

Suddenly.

Boer’s heart was filled with anticipation, his eyes bursting with bright light.

Seeing Master Boer silent.

Guard Captain Art’s tone turned somewhat hesitant, he said with some concern: "However, Master Boer..."

The awakened Boer glanced at Art and asked.

"However, what?"

Art no longer hesitated and directly said.

"If Viscount Jon Zack in Kakasong City knows that you’re employing Free People in the city and taking them away from Kakasong City."

"As you know, the Viscount’s calculative nature might likely incite his hostility..."

Boer’s expression became solemn.

He naturally knew Jon Zuck’s character.

Greedy and lustful, for a Noble Lord, it’s quite normal.

But the difference with Jon Zuck is his strong control obsession over wealth.

As long as it belongs to him.

Even if it’s [just] one penny, he absolutely won’t compromise!

So much so that he intercepted a longboat carrying cargo on the Seine River just because a traveling merchant evaded a few pence in tax.

Took it back to Fisherman’s Wharf, and imprisoned him in jail!

After a brief silence.

Boer said to Guard Captain Art: "The recruitment has already started, we can only take it step by step now."

"However, just in case."

"With the next batch of Free People recruited, arrange for them to leave the city gate in batches."

Art quickly responded: "Yes, Master Boer."

Boer replied, his mind rapidly pondering.

If it’s just recruiting Free People on a small scale in Morgan Town, it’s fine.

Given the size of Morgan Town, recruiting a few hundred Free People is not substantial.

However.

If according to his earlier thoughts, recruiting two to three thousand people.

That’s different.

For any Lord, even unemployed Free People are their assets!

Nonetheless.

He still needs to inform Master Lynn about this matter in advance.

Suppressing his thoughts, Boer looked at Art beside him and spoke.

"Art, tell them to speed up, quickly return to Morgan Town."

"Master Lynn is probably waiting for them to harvest!"

Art’s expression tightened, "Yes, Master!"

...

In the farmland.

Squads of farmers were laboring with all their might in harvesting.

Where the crowd passed, the waves of golden grains turned into stubble barley roots.

With the divided and cooperative efforts of the townsmen, trucks carrying bundled barley stalks were transported back to the small town and piled up in the Lord’s Square.
