Right now, he does not have enough power to arm wrestle with forces beyond his territory.

He still needs time to continue development.

Acting hastily will only lead to being crushed under the wheels of war!

But Lynn has come to understand the current situation with Alan...

He is an outright war trafficker!

Upon hearing the impending war, he felt no fear, instead he became excited and frantic!

Lynn felt that compared to last time trading with Alan, this time Alan was more reckless, even deranged.

Lynn speculated that maybe competing for the position of patriarch of the Brown Clan brought immense pressure upon him.

Several hours later.

All the fine salt was loaded onto Alan's carriage.

A somewhat intoxicated Alan stumbled out of the tavern.

With the help of several guards, he barely climbed onto the carriage.

Watching those carriages gradually disappear into the distance, Lynn finally withdrew his gaze.

The situation outside the territory has become increasingly chaotic.

The Emperor of the Empire's duel with the Grand Duke.

Mark Ducas, who inherited the title of Marquis Duca and has already assassinated him in the wild!

The covetousness of Aiden Manor Lord.

And the threat of the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps...

Meanwhile, his territory is still in the stage of large-scale planting development.

Lynn knows that both he and this territory face threats, whether near or far!

Development must be accelerated rapidly!

Retracting his gaze, Lynn looked to Kuisi waiting behind him and asked: "How many people are currently at the salt factory and salt mine excavation?"

Kuisi, without any hesitation, replied: "Two hundred at the salt factory, three hundred at the salt mine excavation!"

She went to inspect all three veins daily.

She couldn't be more familiar with the numbers at the three veins.

Lynn acknowledged her answer and began to ponder.

Last month, to reclaim more wasteland.

He indeed drew part of the workers from the salt factory.

But now that the reclamation is over, workers have returned to their posts.

The labor force of two hundred excavating the salt mines is indeed sufficient.

However, the labor force at the salt factory and the daily output of fine salt, due to his frequent transactions with merchants, have struggled to keep up with the 800 pounds of fine salt production.

There is a need to increase the number of rock salt excavation workers, expand the salt factory, and increase the fine salt production of the salt factory.

Lynn stepped towards the Blacksmith Workshop.

Several minutes later.

Lynn arrived at the Blacksmith Workshop.

At that moment, Ehrelo was leading the apprentices in the production of Winged Spears!

Seeing Lynn arriving, Ehrelo immediately went to greet him.

Ehrelo spoke with complete respect: "Master Lynn?"

Lynn said: "Temporarily halt the production of Winged Spears, everyone in the workshop will start rushing to make ten large iron pots!"

After the previous rush production by the Blacksmith Workshop, all five hundred soldiers led by Rose were already equipped with Winged Spears.

The current forging production is purely for weapon reserves.

Temporarily stopping it won't affect anything.

However, increasing the production of fine salt is currently the most needed.

Ehrelo's brow furrowed instantly.

"Large iron pots?"

Lynn confirmed.

The current salt factory, given the current conditions, is already using the most efficient and advanced brine evaporation salt making technique!

Manual stone milling to break fine salt, cleaning and screening, large dissolution pools, and four pots that can hold two thousand pounds of brine for simultaneous evaporation and crystallization...

To increase the output of fine salt, the only option is to expand the salt factory!

After conveying his request to Ehrelo, Ehrelo instantly got the point and immediately complied.

Previously, it was because the purchased iron chunks were limited.

Lynn naturally wouldn't want to waste a large amount of iron to make large iron pots.

But now.

With a blast furnace for iron refining and an open-pit iron mine.

He has ample quality iron, Lynn has plenty!

After instructing Ehrelo, Kuisi happened to bring Colin to the Blacksmith Workshop.

Before Colin could speak, Lynn straightforwardly said: "Take your apprentices, all of them to the salt factory!"

Colin was somewhat puzzled.

Lynn continued to speak, "I need to build two additional salt factories made of red brick next to the existing one!"

The Red Brick Factory was continuously firing red brick; a cycle every four to five days could produce thirty thousand bricks.

Watching Ehrelo's wide-eyed stare, Colin instantly figured it out.

He didn't hesitate, saying: "Alright, Master Lynn!"

Lynn said: "Go ahead."

With Lynn's command, both the Blacksmith Workshop and Woodworker Workshop started bustling with activity.

The diameter of a large iron pot is at least four meters, with a depth of about one meter two.

Such a large iron pot can hold at least ten thousand pounds of brine.

It can even reach twenty thousand pounds!

Accordingly, the required quality iron is also staggering.

Such a single iron pot requires at least ten thousand pounds of quality iron!

And Master Lynn needs ten such iron pots...

For the Blacksmith Workshop, this is a massive project!

Currently, the quality iron stockpile is only fifty to sixty thousand pounds.

In other words, the Blacksmith Workshop not only needs to fully devote itself to making iron pots but also needs to utilize the blast furnace for iron refining fully!

Ehrelo felt that the one hundred apprentices in his Blacksmith Workshop might be insufficient!

When Lynn stepped out of the Blacksmith Workshop, he saw Colin leading a team of apprentices, walking down the lime road exiting the small town.

They held various tools, some driving carriages towards the Red Brick Factory.

They needed to transport a large number of red bricks to the salt factory.

Fortunately, the salt factory's distance from the town wasn't far, only five or six miles at most.

They could build during the day and return to town for dinner at night!

With the salt factory expansion arranged, the next step was simply waiting for Colin and Ehrelo to jointly complete the construction of the salt factory.

At that point, when the three thousand farmers finished their autumn planting.

A portion of the laborers could be reassigned from these farmers to the salt factory to produce fine salt.

Not only that.

The farmers can also be distributed among the workshops in need of labor, filling any vacant positions left in the workshops.

This perfectly solves the issue of idle labor after land cultivation and planting are finished!

Finalizing his short-term planning in his mind, Lynn strode toward the main castle in the center of the small town.

He still needed to continue building up [Construction] skills experience!

Lynn held a red brick in his left hand and a plastering knife in his right.

Skillfully, he scooped up a sticky mixture of lime and sand from a wooden bucket and spread it on a red brick.

Placing the red brick with his left hand on the wall in front of him, his right hand continued tapping the red brick with the plastering knife.

This made the bond between red bricks increasingly firm.

At the same time, using a plumb line, he tested whether the wall was perpendicular!

Once confirmed as problem-free, he picked up another red brick and continued wall building.

Like this, again and again.

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

...

Whether wall building or land cultivation and planting, simpler tasks often require tremendous patience to execute.

Even though repeating the same task, it gave Lynn a strange sense of fulfillment.

Until dusk.

Lynn stepped towards the Red Brick House.

The bonfire kindled, and townsmen returning from labor started to head back from various directions.

Beginning to enjoy their leisurely life after work.
