If the four thousand pounds of leather delivered by Grayson was like sending charcoal in the snow.

Then, the twenty thousand pounds of leather now sent by Audrey is the icing on the cake.

The four thousand pounds of leather resolved the urgent need for leather in the Textile Workshop for the production of Composite Armor.

The twenty thousand pounds of leather is enough to keep the workers in the Textile Workshop busy for a long time.

Based on the leather weight needed for one set of Composite Armor, roughly ten pounds.

Excluding some cutting wastage, at least two thousand sets of Composite Armor can be made!

Thinking up to here.

Lynn's heart relaxed slightly.

At least, it alleviated the situation where livestock on the ranch could not yet be slaughtered to produce leather.

Lynn shifted his gaze to the five thousand townsmen still cultivating the wasteland.

Without guards supervising them, they still looked passionate, as if they couldn't feel fatigue.

With a thought, he opened the [Holographic Projection] to check.

The five thousand townsmen, continuously cultivating, have been at it for over a month.

As of now, they have cultivated and planted thirty thousand acres of farmland!

There are thirty days left until the end of spring planting at the end of April.

If continuing with this pace and efficiency, not to mention fifty thousand acres.

Cultivating and planting sixty thousand acres would be no difficult task.

He nodded with satisfaction, looking at the gradually darkening sky, Lynn instructed the guards to inform the townsmen in the wasteland that they could finish work.

Upon hearing the cheer of joy from the townsmen.

Only then did he stride towards the direction of the castle to return.

...

Returning to the castle.

After dining on the dinner prepared by Kuisi, Lynn stood on the balcony on the second floor of the reception hall.

A night breeze with a hint of chill blew, tousling Lynn's black hair and the silk robe on him.

His gaze looked into the distance, at the large area of red brick houses in the small town, about to be engulfed by darkness.

In his mind, he was pondering how to optimize the workforce and industry in the small town!

Compared to the initial development of the territory, with merely a few townsmen, now there are over nine thousand people on the territory.

Even exceeding the population of some ordinary small towns by three times.

Yet Lynn still feels, the workforce is insufficient.

It's not because the population is too small, but because all industries in the territory rely on a large labor force to increase production efficiency.

At the root of it.

It's still due to outdated technology and obsolete tools.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Just focusing on the ongoing cultivation labor.

Due to limited tools, despite inventing and producing the Wheel Plow.

Still can only rely on adult oxen and farmers to lead the cultivation.

Although compared to manual cultivation and Light Plow cultivation, there's a much greater progress, it's still too slow.

If only there were modern cultivation tools, such as chisel-type looseners, or deep loosening combined tillage machines...

Everything would be entirely different!

Lynn also understands, with the current technological level of the territory, not to mention inventing and producing mechanized tools.

Just a Steam Engine would become something for him to aspire to but remain unreachable.

In a world similar to medieval times with no industrial foundation, he can only rely on [Heavenly Artifacts], bit by bit to develop, bit by bit to accumulate.

Nevertheless.

With [Heavenly Artifacts], he is confident in creating everything he envisions in his mind.

Steam Engine, steam transport vehicle.

Gunpowder, firearms, cannons.

Ship, steam paddle ship.

Even... creating a generator!

Of course, this is a long process.

Forcefully pulling back the thoughts that drifted a bit far in his mind.

Lynn continues pondering how to optimize the industries.

At this moment.

A sound of footsteps arose behind Lynn.

Before Lynn could turn around, two neat and respectful voices appeared.

"Sir."

Turning around, Lynn sees Colin and Avery slightly bent at a four or five meters distance behind him.

"What's the matter?"

Colin slightly straightened his body, looked at Lynn, and took the lead in reporting.

"Sir, as per your request, the wooden and fully iron-clad doors of Weng City have been made and installed."

"The thirty Wolf Fang Clubs and winches crafted by the Woodworker Workshop have been entirely transported to Weng City and atop the city walls."

Lynn nodded, "Very well, next task for the Woodworker Workshop is to produce, first according to the size of the city gate, a Semen Knife Car."

"Afterward, proceed to make the Catapults and Crossbow Cannons!"

"Regarding Crossbow Cannons, if unclear, you may seek guidance from the Bow and Arrow Workshop foreman Jose."

"He is quite knowledgeable in bow and arrow making."

Colin hurriedly lowered his head as a response.

Lynn shifted his gaze to Avery.

No need for Lynn to inquire, Avery thoughtfully began to explain.

"Sir, Weng City has been completed."

"If there are no other instructions, the next work for the Stonemason Workshop is preparing to build lookout towers and outpost fortresses outside the city wall."

Lynn replied with an "Mm", "Have the locations for the lookout towers and outpost fortresses been determined?"

Avery moved his arm, fetched a folded piece of paper from his bosom.

However, without approaching Lynn, he raised his hands.

"Sir, the lookout tower is situated five miles outside the city walls on the open wilderness."

"Not far from the city walls, but offers a better vantage point than the city walls, allowing clear sight to notice movements from four sides."

"And for the outpost fortress, I have only confirmed two locations for the time being."
