Rachel glanced at Yimini beside her, noticing Yimini looking at her and gesturing for her to explain.

Rachel pondered for a few seconds and then spoke, "Master, the first issue to address is the labor shortage!"

"Currently, the textile workshop only has three hundred people. To expand production and create twenty sets of composite armor, labor needs to at least double, reaching more than six hundred people!"

"Once the labor force is reached, they still need time for training."

"Secondly, one textile workshop is somewhat insufficient. It is necessary to expand the size of the textile workshop to ensure that the six hundred people have enough working space. At least two additional textile workshops need to be constructed."

Rachel paused for a few seconds before summarily stating, "Master, that's about it."

The speech is clear, with a concise explanation of the needs.

Rachel would indeed be considered a competent manager.

Lynn nodded, "I understand. I will first help you resolve the workshop scale issue. As for the additional three hundred laborers required... it will have to be postponed."

The construction of workshops, given the Red Brick Factory's daily output of red bricks, fired lime, and workers with construction experience, is not considered difficult.

However.

To expand the workshop scale, it is also necessary to wait until Jode completes the carving of the Lord Statue.

As for finding three hundred additional laborers...

This is something Lynn cannot readily obtain at the moment.

Currently, in a territory with over seven thousand people, everyone is assigned to necessary roles.

If three hundred people are reassigned from other roles, the production efficiency of those roles will decrease.

Lynn could only postpone it.

Upon receiving Master Lynn's affirmative response, joy appeared on the faces of Yimini and Rachel.

Especially Rachel.

Just as Yimini had previously communicated to her, Master Lynn is a wise lord who can adopt suggestions from the townspeople!

After Lynn finished his discussion with the two, Red queried, "Master, this armor..."

Lynn looked at Red, "Wear it. From now on, all guards of the territory will wear armor during daily patrols."

"Apart from rest periods, it must be worn at all times!"

The presence of the Guard represents the lord's authority; they serve either as the lord's shield or as the lord's sharp blade.

Armor can intimidate those townsmen harboring distant thoughts.

The guards might not always be utilized but must certainly be present.

Red quickly nodded, "Yes, Master!"

He then sent Yimini and Rachel off, allowing them to continue their tasks at hand.

Lynn walked out of the textile workshop, commencing a survey of its surrounding area.

Initially, he constructed the textile workshop to process the linen and coarse wool delivered by merchants.

With no linen grown in the territory, Coatsworth sheep yet to yield wool, and no leather tanning from slaughtered livestock in the pasture just yet...

The tasks needed by the textile workshop were not extensive, and a single workshop was more than sufficient.

However, with the new addition of armor plate stitching tasks, the situation has changed.

In a manner of speaking.

The current textile workshop has taken over subsequent phases from the Blacksmith Workshop, stitching armor plates, integrating them with chest armor, and crafting leather linings.

In their hands, a complete set of composite armor is produced.

To increase the daily output of composite armor, one workshop is no longer adequate.

Fortunately.

The artisanal district has ample open space. Whenever construction workers are available, additional two or three workshops can easily be built behind the current textile workshop!

Having determined the locations for the future workshop expansions, Lynn departed from the textile workshop.

Red followed closely behind.

Walking down the street of the workshop district, townsmen who caught sight of Lynn, along with Red in his armor, appeared visibly surprised.

Their gazes, initially filled with admiration, grew infused with a sense of awe.

After touring the town, Lynn stepped outside the town, joining a group working to cover the wheat seedlings with straw.

…

As Lynn continued his repetitive labor.

Bit by bit, his experience accumulated.

The once bright sky gradually darkened.

A day's time almost slipped by in a moment.

…

On the other side.

Beneath a slightly dim sky, five or six cavalrymen galloped swiftly along the stony road between plots of farmland.

Before the sky turned completely dark, the cavalry halted at the entrance of a triplet-story mansion.

Ha~

Ackman dismounted from his horse, placing his nearly frozen hands in front of his mouth, breath puffing warmth into his palms.

While rubbing his hands together, he grumbled, "This damn weather, it's unbelievably cold!"

A follower approached beside him, grabbing the horse's reins.

Ackman looked at this guard and asked, "Where is the Master?"

The follower, who had just grasped the reins, hesitated and said, "The Master has bought two young maids again. He should be in the room on the third floor now..."

Ackman's brow slightly furrowed at the follower's words.

He'd only been gone for a few days, and Master Aiden had bought two young maids again?

Ackman distinctly remembered that the last pair of purchased maids weren't here for more than a few months.

Already tired of them?

Ackman did not respond to the follower but proceeded to enter the mansion.

After taking a few steps, he noticed Justin bending over, seemingly searching for something on the ground.
