System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 776 - 255: Whip Training (10,000 Words)

Clive’s drawings of the "Iron Butcher" heavy padded armor and horse armor have already entered the forging and production process.

Although currently there are only a few dozen blacksmith apprentices engaged in forging, and the production is slow.

But still, Clive doesn’t need to supervise constantly.

He can completely let Clive lead these labor forces to continue expanding the Red Brick housing district.

After observing the construction site for a short while.

Lynn stepped away.

Passing through the town, Lynn headed directly towards the dock by the Aladia River.

He arrived at his previous fixed fishing spot.

Lynn took out a fishing rod from his [backpack], and received bait from the guard.

With skillful hands, he hung it up, and with a flick of his left hand, Lynn cast the fishing line into the river.

With a "splash" sound.

The bait sank continuously.

In the end, only the piece of cork float remained, still floating on the water surface.

While quietly waiting for the river fish to bite.

Lynn’s mind began to plan the future development direction of his territory.

Now, in Morgan Town, the situation has settled.

The five major manors have been wiped out, and all the lands in Morgan Town are under his control.

What he needs to consider now is.

How to develop his territory while also considering the development of Morgan Town!

First.

The 200,000 acres of uncultivated land in the territory must naturally be cultivated this year!

And next year, it will be invested in planting spring barley.

The 300,000 acres of land, according to the three-field system, will be batch planted.

Additionally, with fertilizing and top dressing, planting peas or forage crops to fix nitrogen and cultivate soil.

To maximize the utilization of the land’s fertility!

To ensure all townsmen in the territory have a source of food.

Only after all the wild wasteland in his territory is completely cultivated.

Will he consider planning and planting the cultivated land in Morgan Town.

The best way, of course, is to establish a garrison at the Frank Manor Castle!

Using the Manor Castle as the center, radiating management towards the surrounding cultivated land.

Using the garrison system as the core, establish a military system integrating military organization and agrarian economy.

Lynn had previously considered whether to use the county system as a political system.

But soon.

This thought was tossed aside.

The garrison system emphasizes military!

The focus is on military management and armed construction.

He can establish garrisons at various key locations and use them as military units.

Training in peacetime, deploying in wartime.

The county system emphasizes administration.

Aim to strengthen management of the area through administrative management and control.

If it were prosperous times, he would not hesitate to consider the county system.

However.

This is an era of multiple large Empires competing, coveting each other in chaotic times!

Only by possessing powerful military forces can one survive on this continent!

Secondly.

The development of the handicraft workshop district in the territory.

With the existing number of workshops and workers...

Taking the blacksmith workshop for example.

Six iron smelting blast furnaces, six blacksmith workshops, one thousand seven hundred blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices.

It has already surpassed most noble lords, even those owned by the Imperial Royal Family.

Just by looking at the quantity, it might not feel like much.

But one must know.

A medium-sized small town only has around three thousand people.

Such a comparison.

Clearly shows the massive scale of the workshop district he currently possesses.

The reason why the current blacksmith workshops and textile workshops cannot satisfy the equipping of all soldiers with armor and weapon.

The key reason is.

The development time of the handicraft workshop district is too short.

From the very beginning, when he had Ehrelo build the first blacksmith workshop.

Then gradually expanding the scale to six blacksmith workshops with more labor.

Up till now.

Only more than half a year has passed.

It must be acknowledged.

In the blacksmith workshops, except for a very small part of Ehrelo with forging technology.

None of the others have ever engaged in forging!

In more than half a year, from zero to having armed nearly two thousand soldiers.

Lynn considers it to be quite an accomplishment already.

The current handicraft workshop district needs not more labor. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But rather time to mature.

The blacksmith apprentices need more time to improve their forging skills.

To thereby increase the production of armor and weapons in the territory.

Therefore.

Unless special circumstances arise.

In the short term, he will not invest more labor into the handicraft workshop district.

Then.

The scientific research and progress within his territory!

Waiting for the blacksmith and textile workshops to forge and weave enough composite armor.

He needs to further improve the quality of the armor and weapons.

By enhancing the hardness and strength of the armor, while reducing the weight of it.

The best way is to change the smelting method of the blacksmith workshops.

Optimize the iron ore smelted into steel blocks!

The telescope researched and developed by Beo and Xenophon also needs to accelerate production progress.

He has not yet unlocked Morgan’s [Holographic Map].

To observe a wider range and prevent enemy attacks, he can only rely on the telescope to observe.

And.

The most important thing he cares about now is gunpowder!

Up to now.

To produce gunpowder, he is only lacking sulfur!

He has already found saltpeter and arranged townsmen for extraction and transport.

Obtaining charcoal is much easier.

Just select some hard wood for burning, then it can be obtained.
