Chapter 1171: Chapter 321: Savior (10,000 Characters)_4

The main focus is on infantry and archers.

When Morgan Town enters stable development,

he will immediately return to Morgan Town.

Complete the construction of the double-chamber reverberatory furnace.

Begin large-scale armor and weapon forging and production.

Thus arming the soldiers in the territory and garrison with the defense armor they lack.

With Wesley’s archery skills, it is entirely possible to conduct simultaneous physical training for these garrison soldiers.

Select a suitable group of garrison soldiers and train them into suitable archers.

Jose is also leading apprentices in the production of crossbows.

These can be equipped to the garrison soldiers for daily training.

The production cost of crossbows naturally exceeds that of the standard longbow.

Once completed, equipping soldiers and training a crossbowman unit will take much less time than training longbowmen!

This is why Lynn is willing to invest a lot of time, effort, and labor in the bow and arrow workshop.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

At the same time, they are also the most powerful combat forces!

Training a qualified archer takes years.

However,

training a qualified crossbowman only takes a few months to achieve combat readiness!

Technological advancements have significantly lowered the threshold for force!

This is just the crossbow.

With the continuous improvement of technology in the territory, more powerful firearms and cannons can be produced.

It is entirely possible to quickly build and train an army of firearm soldiers that strikes fear into others!

Of course,

this is currently just a thought in Lynn’s mind.

Achieving this goal is still somewhat distant.

Aside from weapons and equipment,

before the garrison soldiers engage in farmland planting and harvesting,

arrangements must be made for chefs to prepare more nutritious meals for the selected garrison soldiers, even four meals a day!

During busy farming seasons, they must work, and during leisure, they must undergo military training.

Both involve high-intensity physical exertion.

If nutritious food cannot be provided for them,

not to mention improving the physical fitness of the garrison soldiers,

they will only become thinner and their physical fitness will worsen.

High-intensity labor might lead them to rebel or even desert!

Waiting for next July or August, when Morgan Town enters the summer harvest,

the garrison soldiers will harvest crops from the farmland, having ample grain at home.

The garrison will no longer need to provide food for the soldiers.

Until then,

the garrison soldiers will be self-sufficient!

They can support themselves and their family members.

Lynn made a preliminary calculation in the past.

Morgan Town has 120,000 acres of farmland. Even with a three-field system for fallow rotation,

80,000 acres would be cultivated and planted annually.

According to the one-tenth yield from the garrison soldiers as tax.

If all barley is planted, with a yield of 180 pounds per acre,

he can obtain 1.4 million pounds of barley from Morgan Town annually!

It doesn’t seem much,

but,

this is an additional grain surplus aside from meeting the living needs of 5,600 garrison soldiers and their family members in the manor castle!

If his territory cultivates higher-yield crops,

such as the "Emperor Potato" being planted,

even on ordinary fertile land, the yield could reach one to two thousand pounds per acre.

That would be significantly different!

The key point is.

This is only for establishing the first garrison at the manor castle, with Morgan Town as the first direction!

As his territory expands,

there will undoubtedly be a second, third, or even more garrisons!

If he waits until his armed forces are strong enough,

powerful enough that no one dares to invade his territory,

he can change the production model within the territory.

As the lord, he can fully integrate reality with his memories,

to create and implement the most suitable system for his territory!

As Lynn ponders these ideas,

time swiftly passes by.

After the sound of climbing footsteps, respectful words echo behind Lynn.

"Master."

Lynn regains focus slightly, glancing at Red who has been waiting beside him, feeling slightly relieved.

Lynn looks at Gavin standing in front of him and asks,

"Are the garrison soldiers selected?"

While speaking,

Lynn looks towards beneath the walls.

In front of a group of farmers holding torches as lighting, stands a selected team.

Upon hearing Master Lynn’s question, Gavin responds respectfully.

"Master, Gavin has selected through 8,100 farmers."

"But Gavin feels that only 1,500 meet your standards."

Lynn frowns slightly.

Observing the change in Master Lynn’s expression, Gavin explains hurriedly.

"The other farmers are either too skinny and weak or missing arms or legs..."

Lynn ponders for a moment and says,

"Then temporarily select 1,500 farmers as garrison soldiers."

"Remember to record their personal information in detail to prevent impersonation."

Gavin straightens up urgently and replies,

"Yes, Master, Gavin will execute your instructions immediately."

After dismissing Gavin, Lynn watches him gradually fade away, disappearing at the steps beneath the walls.

Just as he had anticipated.

It is unrealistic to select 5,600 garrison soldiers from 8,100 farmers.
