Chapter 660: Chapter 236: Usurpation (10,000 Words) (Part 3)

The second batch of eight hundred were responsible for clearing the land that needed expansion.

Clearing weeds, rocks, tree roots, and other obstacles behind the red brick residential area.

Leveling the ground to facilitate construction.

The third batch of eight hundred were responsible for the foundational digging.

Lynn divided them into several small teams, using tools such as shovels, iron hoes, and cross pickaxes.

Excavating the foundations for the houses according to the design requirements.

Using hemp rope as a measuring tool to ensure accuracy in depth and dimensions.

The fourth batch of four hundred, some were responsible for transporting and laying basic materials like stone and sand.

Another part was responsible for mixing lime mortar to reinforce and level the ground foundation.

The fifth batch of one thousand five hundred were responsible for building the walls.

Lynn also divided them into several small teams.

They built the walls according to the red brick house requirements.

While building the walls, they had to ensure the verticality, flatness, and evenness of the mortar joints, etc.

They also had to leave openings for doors and windows.

The sixth batch of five hundred were responsible for making and installing the wooden structures of the houses.

These included beams, columns, rafters, and door and window frames, etc.

The seventh batch of four hundred were responsible for laying the roof’s wooden boards and grey tiles, ensuring waterproofing and drainage.

The eighth batch of four hundred were responsible for the interior woodworking and decorative work.

They built and installed doors and windows, made furniture frames to enhance the house’s usability.

The ninth batch of two hundred were in charge of handling various details within the houses.

They filled the gaps between walls and ground and installed some iron fittings.

Lynn didn’t want the constructed red brick houses to collapse and crush the workers.

Preventing disasters before they occur.

At this point.

Except for some young children and some peasants unable to do heavy construction work,

All six thousand peasants were given assignments.

With a command from Lynn,

The peasants dispersed under the leadership of soldiers and guards.

Some went to transport materials, others to the weed-covered wasteland behind the town...

No matter what task they were engaged in,

Lynn could see joy and anticipation on their faces.

Because all the peasants knew,

The red brick houses they were about to build were for their future residence.

They were building the home they would rely on for survival!

Lynn, along with Red and a few guards, also walked among the peasants.

He still needed to execute the next step in assignments.

Reaching the back of the town,

Lynn stood at the edge of the red brick road in the residential area, gazing into the distance.

The wasteland of weeds before him, once a dry winter grassland, had sprouted fresh weeds as the weather warmed.

Now, under the gentle breeze, it undulated like waves.

At first glance, it gave a sense of inexplicable comfort.

With a wave of his arm,

The waiting peasants beside him tightly grasped their sickles and iron hoes, rushing into the weed-covered wasteland.

Their eyes were focused, their expressions solemn.

To the peasants, this weed-covered wasteland was their battlefield.

A battlefield they needed to fiercely attack, giving their all to conquer!

The peasants skillfully and vigorously swung their tools, clearing and harvesting the weeds beneath their feet.

Lynn instructed the peasants to gather the weeds into bundles and stack them neatly.

These weeds, having already grown to thigh height,

could be collected and composted into high-quality fertilizer!

Weeds such as alfalfa and clover within them are rich in protein and nutrients,

making them potential feed for cattle, horses, and sheep.

More weeds could be dried and processed into hay for storage,

in preparation for heating or usage needed by livestock during winter.

The weeds also contained many wild herbs,

which could be selected and sent to Old John’s hospital.

After processing, they could be made into tinctures or ground into medicinal powder for use in the territory.

Not only that,

but some of the flexible weeds could be used as weaving materials,

for crafting items like straw baskets, straw mats, straw shoes, etc.

Especially straw shoes and straw mats!

With summer approaching,

weaving workshop workers could start crafting woven grass household items.

Farming should be like this,

maximizing the value of all usable resources available around us.

While Lynn observed the peasants clearing the weed-covered wasteland,

a rush of footsteps sounded behind him,

coming from afar.

A few seconds later, a respectful voice rang out.

"Greetings, Lord."

Lynn slightly turned his head and saw Clive bowing behind him.

Lynn acknowledged, "Scholar Clive, how is the progress on the Iron Butcher Heavy Armor and Horse Armor?"

Clive straightened slightly and responded, "Lord, we are still forging the armor plates!"

"However, the first heavy armor sample is nearing completion."

"After that, we only need the weaving workshop to stitch it together with leather and linen thread to finish it!"

"As for the horse armor... Lord, that will require some more time."

After speaking,

Clive suddenly recalled something.

Didn’t the Lord just refer to the heavy armor and horse armor he’s making as ’Iron Butcher’?
