"Fortunately, Jonas's second son, Joao Frank, as the Territory Guard Captain, returned in time with soldiers to protect."

"Preventing the Frank Manor from being overtaken by the Iron Thorns Mercenary Corps..."

"However, now what's most talked about is that Joao Frank, Jonas's second son, did not succeed as the new Manor Lord of the Frank Manor."

"Instead, the eldest granddaughter, Janet Frank, became the new Manor Lord!"

"Such an event is not just unheard of in Morgan Town and Kakasong City."

"Even throughout the entire Marquisate and the whole Karedi Empire, it's quite unprecedented."

Lynn responded with a nod.

The version Boer recounted was clearly a victor's declaration to the outside.

Upon further reflection, Lynn thought it was quite normal.

Not just for the Frank Clan.

Even the entire Karedi Empire.

When rebelling from the Elfini Empire, it was under the pretext of unbearable taxes and servitude imposed by the Elfini Imperial Royal Family that the rebellion erupted!

Even now.

Within the entire Karedi Empire, it's rumored that the Carolingian Royal Family, leading a group of like-minded individuals, waged a great war for independence!

History is, after all, written by the victors!

As it has been since ancient times.

Boer shifted the conversation, "By the way, Master Lynn, I've heard some news."

"The newly appointed Lady Janet has invited three Manor Lords from Morgan Town, preparing for a Manor Lords meeting, said to discuss future development matters..."

"But as for the specific day, I am not yet informed."

Lynn said, "There's nothing strange about a Manor Lords meeting."

"After all, the newly appointed Manor Lord, aside from gaining more advantages from other Manor Lords."

"At the very least, must ensure that the existing estate interests aren't infringed upon by other Manors."

"It's both a roundtable and a demonstration of stance."

Boer nodded in agreement at Lynn's words.

From Lynn's calm tone, Boer realized that Master Lynn was already informed about the intelligence in Morgan Town ahead of time.

Nevertheless.

Boer did not mind.

With Master Lynn being the Lord, he would naturally have his own intelligence network.

An able Lord, while ensuring the rapid development of the territory, must also keenly observe all directions and listen attentively!

Foreseeing and averting potential territorial crises, and quickly devising responses!

Lynn continued, "Mr. Boer, my territory still requires a vast amount of food."

"Regardless of the market price outside, just go ahead and purchase boldly! Even if it's above market price, it's worth it."

"As long as you successfully transport the grains to my territory, I can still exchange them for you at the price of five pence per pound of fine salt!"

Listening to Master Lynn's words, Boer's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly said, "Master Lynn, as I mentioned earlier, some cross-regional merchants have noticed the rise in grain prices, and indeed they have transported grains to Kakasong City."

"Like barley, whose original market price wasn't high, along with the costs of water transportation by merchants and grain hoarding by Lords."

"The already low barley price skyrocketed quickly."

"Some merchants even quoted it at exorbitant wheat-like prices, one penny per pound, it's utterly terrifying."

"Now that I've heard your words, I'm relieved."

"As long as the prices are somewhat reasonable, I will unite all merchants in my association and make every effort to purchase grains for you."

Lynn nodded, "Then I shall trouble you, Mr. Boer."

Hearing this, Boer immediately stood up and bowed in salute.

"Master Lynn, you are too kind."

During the conversation between Lynn and Boer, time moved quickly.

In no time, it was evening.

The night already covered the entire sky.

With all the fine salt loaded onto Boer's carriage.

Under the illumination of torches held by Boer's guard team, Boer led the carriage team and left Lynn's territory overnight.

As he departed.

Boer spoke firmly.

To rush to Kakasong City to purchase a large amount of food for Master Lynn.

Until Boer's carriage team disappeared into the night.

Lynn, along with Red, returned to the castle.

After having dinner, he sat in the armchair, holding a small stone mill, continuing to grind [Medical] skill experience.

...

In his mind, he was contemplating the current management staff of the entire territory.

The governmental institutions possessed by a territory generally include administrative management, judicial decisions, military defense, financial taxation, and the religious affairs that he doesn't need.

In administrative management, Kuisi acts as the steward, managing the daily operations of the territory for him.

From supervising the servants in the castle to managing material reserves, to the daily labor production in the territory outside the castle.

For minor matters beyond his capacity, he could completely entrust Kuisi to manage and handle.

What was still lacking, was someone who could be responsible for handling all kinds of clerical work, drafting, writing, and preserving legal documents within the territory, among other literary duties.

However.

Lynn already had a suitable candidate in mind.

It was Petra Davenport, a scholar passionate about literary creation and research!

Having her take on the role of clerk was most fitting.

Future changes in population in the territory, land transactions, and other significant information could also be entrusted to Petra to handle.
