System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 174: Unworthy to Trade with You (10000 Words) (Part 4)


They can also move into the accommodations at the back of the castle.

This castle covers a vast area!

If you add up the courtyard gardens, kitchen, stables, warehouses, living quarters for attendants and servants, armory, etc.

It covers a total area of six thousand square meters!

Enough for them to live comfortably within this castle.

With the castle, naturally, guards need to be arranged for protection.

However, unlike other lords, Lynn did not arrange for hundreds of guards inside the castle for defense.

This castle needs only thirty people to be sufficient.

Their duty is to convey Lynn's orders to those who need to receive them when required!

Clip-clop, clip-clop!

Mo Ying, whom Lynn was riding, trotted slowly through the town, heading outwards.

The townsmen passing by on both sides stopped in respect upon seeing Lynn, saluting him attentively.

Mo Ying left the town, arriving at the nearly completed Papermaking Workshop.

After Lynn dismounted, a sensible townsman approached and took hold of Mo Ying's reins.

Seeing Lynn approach, Colin, who was guiding the finishing work, stepped forward to greet him.

Colin called softly, "Master!"

Lynn nodded slightly, his eyes scanning the Papermaking Workshop, "How's the progress of the construction?"

Colin explained, "The main structure of the Papermaking Workshop will be completed today, and the roof tiles will be laid."

"Starting tomorrow, we can proceed with making the various tools needed for papermaking."

"Raw material processing tools, pulping tools, pressing tools, drying tools, etc."

Lynn responded, "I've already arranged for people to cut the lumber and bark needed for making these tools."

"I'll have people maneuver flat-bottomed boats to transport them down using the current."

Listening to Lynn's words, Colin's eyes lit up.

He was just worrying about sourcing the lumber and how to transport it.

Unexpectedly, Master Lynn had already made arrangements in advance.

Colin joyfully said, "Master is wise!"

Glancing at Colin, Lynn continued, "Quickly complete the Papermaking Workshop, there's an even larger project that requires you to lead them in doing."

Colin's brows slightly furrowed, "An even larger project?"

Lynn did not conceal anything, directly stating, "I need to construct tracks on the territory and make hand-operated mine carts!"

"The constructed tracks can directly connect the open-pit coal mines with the town."

Colin's furrowing brows deepened, "Tracks? Master... what are tracks?"

Lynn said, "You don't need to consider so much for now, just complete the Papermaking Workshop and put it into production first!"

Master Lynn did not continue explaining, and Colin naturally did not dare to ask further; he only responded obediently.

Following behind Lynn, he began to inspect the Papermaking Workshop.

The two hundred apprentices from the Blacksmith Workshop, plus the four hundred construction workers added by Lynn.

Under Colin's guidance, in just under ten days, the main structure of the Papermaking Workshop was completed.

The tools needed for the Papermaking Workshop are especially easy for Colin, who was originally a carpenter by trade!

In just four to five days, after collecting the raw materials, the Papermaking Workshop can be put into initial production.

Afterward, it only requires training the workers for skills and dividing up tasks.

However.

Lynn also understood that wishing for the Papermaking Workshop to produce paper on a large scale would not be so simple.

But, as long as the paper produced can temporarily satisfy Tate's schools and Old John's hospitals, it would be enough.

The need for paper in other positions on the territory can be postponed.

After conducting a round of inspections and ensuring there were no anomalies in the construction of the Papermaking Workshop, Lynn felt slightly relieved and glanced at the Heavenly Artifacts interface.

He rolled up his sleeves and engaged in the ongoing finishing work.

...

Perhaps because he was too engrossed in one thing, time had unknowingly passed until the afternoon, unnoticed by Lynn.

It wasn't until a guard, after inquiring with the construction workers, approached Lynn.

"Master Lynn, the merchant Alan has arrived in town and is waiting for you."

Lynn turned to look at the guard, "Isn't George present?"

The guard hesitated, saying, "Master, it was Lord George who ordered me to find you."

Lynn put down the iron hammer and nails in his hands and walked out of the Papermaking Workshop.

As he walked, Lynn thought and opened the Holographic Map.

In the open plaza of the town, Alan sat on a long bench.

Not far away.

Were rows of four-horse-drawn carriages, loaded with goods.

Behind the carriages were tall horses tied together by reins!

And at the side, George stood waiting.

After closing the Holographic Map interface, Lynn spoke to the guard, "Tell me."

The guard did not dare have any hesitation and promptly said, "Lord George stated that Alan would only choose to deal with you..."

"Lord George's status... is not fit to deal with him!"

Listening to the guard's words, Lynn's brow slightly furrowed.

Without a word, he walked out of the Papermaking Workshop.

Without needing an order from Lynn, a townsman led Mo Ying in front of him.

Lynn mounted the horse, lightly squeezed Mo Ying's side, and Mo Ying let out a joyful neigh, galloping forward.

The guard followed closely behind.

The cultivated fields on both sides swiftly receded from Lynn's vision.
