Even if the potato seeds are cut today, in one or two days, they can be planted.

Under his instruction, Gavin and a dozen others held blades and began cutting the potatoes into pieces.

Each piece of potato should weigh around thirty grams, and have two eyes left.

The planted potato chunks, after receiving enough nutrients and fertilizers, will sprout new shoots and come to life.

With a team of more than ten people, nine hundred pounds of potatoes were cut in one day's time.

The land with the cut pieces still needs to be placed in a cool and ventilated area to dry the cut surfaces.

Afterward, they should be placed on moist fine sand to accelerate sprouting.

The sprouting process requires a relatively long time.

If the temperature is suitable and growth is smooth, it will take at least five days at the quickest.

If the temperature is too low, the sprouting speed will be slower, possibly taking up to half a month.

However.

Luckily for the temperate oceanic climate of the Karedi Empire.

Plus, it's already spring.

Lynn had previously checked the Weather Forecast, and recently, the temperature has been around fifteen degrees.

The cut potato pieces can complete sprouting in at most a week, and then planting can begin!

Inform Gavin about the humidity and ventilation required at the sprouting stage for the potato pieces.

After that, what remains is slowly waiting!

After instructing Gavin, Lynn strides out of the warehouse.

Walking on the red brick roads in the town, Lynn's gaze sweeps around.

It's still quite early now, and the townsmen out for tilling haven't returned yet.

Thus, the town feels somewhat quiet.

Occasionally, two or three townsmen walk by in a group from the roadside.

When they saw Lynn, they stopped immediately and respectfully greeted him as 'Lord'.

Lynn nodded slightly, as a gesture of acknowledgement.

Walking along the red brick road, Lynn was pondering ways to optimize the town's industries.

After several days of contemplation, he had a rough idea in mind.

Firstly, to reduce the labor input in each industry.

The most crucial aspect is to produce more advanced tools.

Just like the flint axe he first crafted, no matter how sharp or refined, the work efficiency will never match that of an Iron Axe!

Likewise.

In mineral extraction, more efficient digging devices need to be developed and produced.

Thereby replacing traditional manual digging!

Lynn's mind conjured images of pulley-assisted digging devices and lever-type digging devices, among others.

Moreover, it's possible to utilize the power of a winch collaboratively to excavate large blocks of iron ore or salt mines.

Thus improving excavation efficiency!

Such digging machinery can be produced in the current territory.

In the transportation of iron ore, now with fish oil and resin for waterproofing, it is completely feasible to create transport vessels larger than sampan boats.

For example, ships similar to small Noel Ships.

About ten meters long and five meters wide, a single transport trip can carry up to ten tons, which is entirely sufficient!

Furthermore, beginning to build small ships can also introduce and develop a shipbuilding industry for the townsmen.

In preparation for future navigation after handling the waterfalls under the territory.

Even if the start is very slow, it's still very necessary.

Next, it's advanced production technology!

There is no world with more advanced production technology than Lynn, who has the Heavenly Artifacts panel.

As long as Lynn grinds, he can obtain endless technology.

However, he needs to translate the technology in his mind into text documented on sheets of paper.

Then, through scholars like Tate, this text and knowledge are spread into the minds of all the townsmen.

Therefore.

Lynn needs to establish a comprehensive training system.

Once Tate returns to the territory with his scholar friends, they will begin mass literacy and professional skill training for the townsmen.

Let all learn advanced production techniques and the methods of using tools.

Thus improving production efficiency and reducing labor needs!

Then, there's the optimization of personnel management!

Be it the various workshop workers in the Handicraft Workshop District, those responsible for tending crops in the fields, or the mining workers…

Lynn needs to thoroughly sort out each job!

To clearly define the duties and workflow of each townsperson.

A worker responsible for digging will do digging; one responsible for transporting iron ore will handle iron ore.

To avoid unclear responsibilities, causing personnel redundancy and low work efficiency!

Since we have clear positions and defined responsibilities.

Naturally, there should be rules established, with the merits and promotions system encompassing the working townsmen of the territory.

With rewards, there must also be punishments.

The townsmen who work well earn military merits, which can promote their status and accrue merits for the reward of land.

Those who do not meet standards shall be subject to penalties.

Such as reducing their portion of meals per sitting or the number of winter garments.

The specific methods of punishment need to be drafted!

Finally.

The most crucial part in Lynn's view is——infrastructure construction!

Building roads or bridges and other transportation facilities.

Despite this period of observation.

He found that every townsperson's time includes at least an hour spent walking on lime roads.

For the current tilling and planting.

After breakfast, walking to the wilderness a few miles away takes at least half an hour.

Returning takes another half hour!

This is for closer distances. For further, intense journeys, like to the coal mines or in the direction of the city wall.

The time spent on walking will surpass one or two hours.

If he improves transportation, creating a vehicle within the territory for the townsmen to quickly travel to and from labor.

Then production efficiency will increase significantly!

Thinking slightly in his mind.

The only method is to build a steam train!

If a steam train were constructed.

Besides transporting territory townsfolk, it could transport more distant iron ore coal mines!

Once the Outpost Fortress beyond the city wall is completed.

And a large number of wood sleepers and iron rails are forged.

The transport of armed soldiers to the Outpost Fortress for immediate support would be feasible!

But, turning over his thoughts, Lynn realized a steam train is still too distant.

Although the territory now has iron ore for material in steam train production.

And there's anthracite as fuel for the steam train.

The technical level is always limited, processing precision is insufficient, power transmission technology is behind, and metal material performance is poor.

Even though Lynn has an advanced foundation in scientific theory for support.

These conditions critically restrain the production of a steam train!

Lynn could only temporarily postpone this idea.
