Old John sat on a log, looking with astonishment at the pottery bowl in his hand.

Inside the pottery bowl.

A yellow-green liquid was gently swaying.

However, he could clearly discern the strong mint fragrance emanating from the liquid.

He tried taking a sip, and the slight sweetness of mint and herbal aroma immediately swept across his taste buds.

A comfortable cool sensation instantly came over him.

In this summer, it indeed provided a refreshing coolness.

Old John turned his head towards the distant kitchen.

There.

The esteemed Lord was brewing herbal decoction...

Old John's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Why does this Lord feel so peculiar?

A little girl, only four or five years old, came to him.

"Old John, how do you read this letter? Sorry, I forgot..."

Hearing the little girl's words, Old John finally withdrew his gaze.

...

Two consecutive days.

Whenever Lynn woke up, he was either brewing herbal decoction in the kitchen or in the Blacksmith Shop.

Three points, one line.

At most, occasionally he'd go to the Salt Factory.

His [Medicine] skill experience was rapidly increasing.

[Medicine: Level 0 (51/100)]

Lynn poured a freshly brewed batch of rosemary potion into a pottery pot.

Ehrelo quickly found Lynn.

There was a hint of excitement on his face, "Master Lynn, according to your request, the carriage with friction brakes has been completed!"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, put down the pottery pot, and headed towards the distant carpentry shop.

The carriage mainly involved woodworking, with Lynn having Colin lead, and Ehrelo responsible for forging the necessary iron components.

Seeing the empty carriage parked at the entrance of the wooden house, his eyes brightened.

Brake components, iron connectors linking the brake components to the chassis, adjustment devices, everything was complete.

It was almost exactly as he'd drawn it.

Colin, standing nearby, dared not disturb Lynn and waited silently by his side.

Lynn tried the brake system of the empty carriage, pulling the rope connecting the brake block.

The brake block immediately created friction with the wheel, and even when pushed with full force, it only moved a few centimeters.

Lynn nodded, "Nicely done."

Hearing Lynn's words of praise, Colin and Ehrelo felt a sense of relief.

To rush this carriage, they had put a lot of thought into it.

Fortunately.

The empty carriage they made was approved by Master Lynn.

With Lynn's affirmative response, Colin and Ehrelo threw themselves wholeheartedly into making the carriage.

Once the design was confirmed, and having production experience, with the joint efforts of twenty-five others,

a carriage could be completed in almost less than a day.

Time passed day by day.

The village's pea planting was coming to an end.

...

At dusk.

Ten double-horse carriages were passing through the forest road.

Perhaps because carriages often passed by, the ground was full of sunken carriage wheel marks.

Sitting in the first carriage, George felt the bumps and couldn't help but frown.

The mountain road was too difficult, severely affecting the efficiency of the merchant team's return to the village.

It seemed he needed to report to Master Lynn, asking him to repair the mountain road.

However.

This mountain road had been traveled many times; George was already used to it.

This little mishap didn't affect his joyful mood in the slightest.

Ten carriages, with a total load of 20,000 pounds!

Three thousand pounds of premium iron, seventeen thousand pounds of grain.

This wasn't what made him happy.

What made George happy was that he had purchased 150 healthy slaves for Master Lynn!

After passing through the forest, they came to a wasteland.

From a distance, George could see the village ahead.

And the land that had been almost entirely cultivated and planted with crops.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Neatly arranged ridges, clean and free of any weeds.

Just one look gave George a strange sense of comfort.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is what farming should look like!

Those he had seen before, could they even be called farming?

Not just George.

The slaves he brought back were full of astonishment.

...

Lynn's [Medicine] skill finally leveled up.

[Your Medicine has leveled up to Level 1, unlocking: Collection and Compendium]

[Reward received: Memory Pearl ×1]

Lynn frowned.

With a thought, he opened [Heavenly Artifacts] and found the [Collection and Compendium] feature.

It was an icon of an ancient scroll.

After glancing at it a few times, Lynn understood.

Once a high-quality item is acquired, the corresponding icon can be activated.

For each activated icon, the corresponding Energy Stone can be claimed.

Currently, Lynn can only claim the Energy Stones for the [Ordinary Iron Axe] icon and the [Excellent Horn Bow] icon.

Each icon provides one hundred Energy Stones, and Lynn received two hundred.

This feature wasn't bad.

It increased Lynn's avenues for obtaining Energy Stones.

He glanced at the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel, noticing only [Breeding] hadn't leveled up yet...

Three thousand acres of tillable land were completely cultivated by yesterday.

Subsequently, they just needed to fertilize and irrigate according to the growth state of the peas.

Lynn let all the villagers have a good rest for a day!

Letting the villagers rest was to enable them to work better.

...

The next day.

Stepping out of the wooden house.

Lynn saw a group of villagers standing on the village's open ground.

Adding the slaves George brought back this time.

The village's total population had already reached 620 people!

Excluding the 50-member Guard Team, 10 people at the Brewing workshop, 15 at the Blacksmith Shop, and 10 at the carpentry house.

Ten people in the kitchen, ten farmers including Gavin and Wilbur responsible for weeding 3,000 acres, 200 at the Salt Factory and rock salt mining.

Five people under Guy responsible for breeding, and twenty children...

The remaining 300 villagers, Lynn put all of them into road construction.

From the village's fork, all the way to the distant open-pit coal mine.

A hundred people quarrying limestone, a hundred producing lime, and a hundred using lime, sand, and gravel to pave the road.

Twenty li of road.

Ten thousand meters.

It took two hours just to walk it.

This was a large project!

It required a lot of manpower and resources.

Even so, Lynn insisted on digging.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools.

Only by mining the coal mine could they have more high-temperature fuel.

With high-temperature fuel, Lynn could proceed with the next steps of development.

He could increase the output of fine salt at the Salt Factory, produce more lime for building stone houses, and so on.

Whether for village construction or for sale!

The 300-member strong team marched out of the village.

Upon reaching the fork, the three teams headed towards different areas.

They needed to continuously quarry stone, continuously produce lime, and continuously pave the road…

And Lynn… came to the breeding farm under Guy's management.

Getting ready to start raising pigs!

In a large cowshed, the main labor force for land reclamation, dozens of draft oxen finally stopped to rest.

But the draft horses didn't have such privilege.

The draft horses had to pull the carriage newly made by Colin and Ehrelo, transporting limestone!

In the spacious pigsty, two earth-colored wild boars were constantly spinning around.

After being domesticated, the wild boar piglets adapted to the pigsty environment and grew extremely fast.

In just one month, the wild boar piglets had grown at least twenty to thirty pounds!

Lynn's gaze shifted to a large tub of pig feed not far away.

He rolled up his sleeves, picked up a bucket and scooped up half a bucket of pig feed, pouring it into the feeding trough.
