System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 921: Chapter 279: Eight Hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards (10,000) (6)

But Lynn still did not fully disclose Alan’s information.

"Around May, he came to my territory."

Grayson is indeed his business partner.

But Alan, Kari, and Zod are also his business partners.

Their competition in trade has nothing to do with him directly.

Rather than offending one of them with a few words, thus reducing the goods brought to his territory,

it’s better to keep it brief.

Perhaps just as Grayson said, it was simply curiosity.

After his response, Grayson did not pursue the matter further.

Grayson shifted the topic, asking Lynn.

"Master Lynn, is all the land in Morgan Town now within your territory?"

Lynn hadn’t yet spoken.

Grayson explained, "I know this because while waiting for goods to be unloaded from the longship at Fisherman’s Wharf, I went to the Riverside Rest Tavern."

"I learned it from casual conversations in the tavern."

"They said, a lord suddenly emerged in Morgan Town and completely wiped out the original manor lords."

"Directly unifying Morgan Town that was separately controlled by various manor lords."

"Moreover, it received the recognition from Bishop Semo at the Kakasong City Church, issuing decrees to the church followers in the city!"

Lynn nodded, "Yes, because I pay tithing to Semo."

"From the church’s perspective, Morgan Town is indeed part of my territory now!"

Upon hearing this, Grayson’s eyes showed more admiration and envy towards Lynn.

Master Lynn has developed his territory to such a scale.

It indicates his agricultural production capabilities far exceed ordinary ones.

His ability to recruit a military force with such strength.

Shows he has insight in talents management.

Master Lynn could even think of using the church’s power to have Morgan Town’s land belonging to his territory...

Becoming the sole lord of Morgan Town!

For someone capable of achieving this, how could Grayson not envy, not worship.

As Grayson spoke to Lynn about the Portlands Empire’s war coming to an end.

Chronos, the Imperial Grandson, is about to become the new Emperor of the Portlands Empire.

Audrey is also about to reach the pinnacle of her life, becoming the master behind the Emperor.

George paced into the tavern.

Came to Lynn’s side, reporting, "Master, all the grain has been unloaded from the carts."

Lynn nodded slightly, looking at Grayson.

With a face flushed, Grayson gulped down the gin from the glazed cup.

He burped, "Master Lynn, shall Grayson first go to choose the glazed products?"

"Not that Grayson doesn’t trust Master Lynn."

"But those noble lords in the Portlands Empire are extremely picky about glazed products."

"If there’s any flaw or dissatisfaction, they won’t want to buy them..."

"These glazed products, although simply made from sand and rocks by you, Master Lynn."

"Once transported before the great noble lords, they become luxury items!"

"I can even tell you without exaggeration..."

"A finely crafted glazed product can sell for ten, twenty, even thirty or forty gold pounds."

"If at the previous market price of barley, enough pounds to buy a glazed product could buy thirty-six thousand pounds of barley."

"Still... it’s easier to earn gold pounds from the rich!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn showed no surprise on his face.

Families with several or even dozens of generations of heritage and accumulation are usually nobility or great lords.

They have ample financial capital.

Their view of luxury items has moved beyond its mere utilitarian value.

It is more about.

Using various finely crafted items to demonstrate their noble status and superior position.

The backward craft of glaze-making in this world renders glazed products scarce.

Scarcity raises value.

Along with the unique color and gloss of glazed products, and diverse elegant designs.

Especially when sunlight shines through glass in a church, creating colorful light effects, and a sacred solemn atmosphere.

It lends glazed products a mysterious religious symbolism, revered by noble lords.

The most critical point is.

The high price of glazed products makes them unattainable for ordinary people.

They can be used to differentiate from the common folks.

Strengthening the privileged position of noble lords, maintaining the hierarchy between nobility and commoners!

Lynn and Grayson walked out of the tavern side by side.

Compared to Lynn’s steady steps, Grayson’s stride was somewhat light.

They arrived at the Lord’s Square.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, glancing at the captives who had finished eating and were resting.

He spoke to Grayson, "Mr. Grayson, it seems I’ll have to let George lead you for the selection."

Beside him, Grayson also noticed the captives in the distance.

He responded, "Master Lynn, you don’t need to worry about me, I’ll take my time to choose."

"Your matters are more important."

Lynn acknowledged, watching George lead Grayson as they walked towards the Handicraft Workshop District.

He stepped forward, heading towards the front of the Lord’s Square.

The captives sitting under the trees naturally noticed several young men in armor.

From the attitude and demeanor shown by the previous slave merchant.

They already knew that the young man was the lord of this territory.

Standing by the side, Rose also saw Lynn.

He spoke to the captives, "Finish resting, rise to greet the Lord!"

Under the soldiers’ urging and the clinking chains.

This group of eight hundred captives reluctantly stood up.

In their view.

This so-called lord was no more than a lucky birth inheriting the land.

If their limbs weren’t chained, preventing free movement.

They could easily kill such a lord with one hand!
