Chapter 732: Chapter 248: I’ve Decided to Start a War (10,000 Words)

Pigeons have already been trained by many people and put to use in information transmission.

However, the existence of pigeons is not abundant.

Only some Great Noble Lords, as well as trainers with certain skills and experience, possess pigeons.

Last year, Boer was just a basic agricultural traveling merchant.

It’s quite normal not to understand this aspect.

Boer lowered his head slightly and responded, "Master Lynn, you’re too kind."

"Just a trivial matter, as long as it can help you, Master Lynn."

Lynn pondered for a moment.

Until a few hours later.

All the barley was unloaded, and fifty thousand pounds of fine salt were loaded onto the carriage.

The transaction was complete.

After bidding farewell to Lynn, Boer mounted his horse and left Lord’s Square with his caravan.

By this time, it was already dusk.

About an hour until nightfall.

Although Lynn tried to persuade Boer to stay, Boer was determined to leave.

According to Boer, he needed to quickly sell off the fine salt he had on hand.

Lynn had no choice but to give up persuading him, watching as Boer’s caravan gradually disappeared.

In the end, vanishing into the shadow of the mountain that shielded the setting sun.

Lynn remained seated on the bench, his gaze shifting as he watched the townsmen forming queues to return to the town.

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

Perhaps Boer wanted to leave the town before the townsmen finished work.

This way, the caravan wouldn’t occupy the limestone road and block the townsmen’s smooth return.

The sunset bathed everything in golden light.

Covering the lush crop plants in the cultivated land with a layer of gold.

Golden light, emerald plants, a gentle breeze...

The barley farmland looked like a golden ocean.

Lynn admired it all from afar.

In his mind, he contemplated how to deal with Morgan Town and Frank Manor.

He had agreed to Janet’s request for military assistance to Frank Manor.

Naturally, to obtain more labor and grain!

In providing military aid to Frank Manor and during the final stages.

He indeed could easily demolish Frank Manor.

However, thinking about some unforeseen circumstances that might arise...

For instance, should Kakasong City’s Lord Nobility come and find the manor in Morgan Town long vanished.

Or, like last time when Lawrence led the Sword and Shield Corps here...

He needed a local manor lord to handle the aftermath and respond to events post-war!

Even if it means giving Frank Manor the chance to develop, it’s worth it.

Because he had incorporated all the serfs, grain, and various items from the Three Great Estates.

He also needed a lot of time to consume and integrate them.

For instance, to ensure housing for six thousand serfs.

He had to let these six thousand serfs spend a month to construct numerous red brick houses.

Had there not been stored cereals grain and meat in the Three Great Estates’ warehouses.

A month would have been enough to deplete all the previously stored food.

Thankfully, his territory endured.

However.

Frank Manor exercised power excessively with its claim over Morgan Town...

If it were just the free people of the town.

Or unrelated merchants.

That’d be fine.

But if they attempt to impose taxes harshly and deter merchants who initially planned to come to his territory...

Lynn wouldn’t mind deploying an army to obliterate Frank Manor!

From Boer’s expression just now, he sensed endless complexity.

Being trapped yet afraid to ask for help.

Ultimately choosing to endure silently.

Before.

Boer faced sieges and attacks from bandits; with limited ability, he could only choose to defend the walls.

But now.

Considering the soldiers, armor, weapons, and those massive siege engines in his territory.

He was absolutely confident!

To destroy Frank Manor at an extremely minimal cost!

Smoothing the way for merchants like Boer in the future who come to his territory!

But before that.

He needs to conduct a thorough assessment of current military strength.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, looking at the few guards beside him.

"Return to the castle and inform Steward Kuisi to prepare more meals."

The guard who received Lynn’s instruction quickly responded and hurried towards the castle.

"Go to the wall and summon Rose and Wesley."

Another guard fetched a horse, mounted it, and headed towards the distant woods.

"The three of you, go to the Handicraft Workshop District and summon Ehrelo, Colin, Yimini, and Jose."

"Also, Flint—if he refuses, just say there will be no more gin supplies."

"Yes, Master."

The last guard quickly bowed and walked briskly towards the distant Handicraft Workshop District.

Instructions completed, Lynn exhaled a breath.

Unless necessary.

He didn’t want to initiate war proactively!

His current territory still has many things to attend to, developing step by step.

Land cultivation and planting.

Apart from the already cultivated fields, there’s also two hundred thousand acres of wild grassland, waiting for townsmen to cultivate.

Given land and fertilizer fertility limitations.

Before producing more efficient fertilizers using natural alkaline minerals and other substances.
