A win-win situation.

Of course.

Now, as the fishing industry develops, we will naturally no longer use fishing cages woven with bamboo as before.

The textile workshop has already been put into production, and we can entirely use hemp ropes to weave nets or cages for fishing.

We could even build skiffs and head to the center of the Acadia River to cast nets and fish!

However, for now, this is just part of his development plan.

Everything must wait until after the autumn planting is over.

At this moment.

The river surface starts to stir, with ripples cascading towards the riverbank like waves.

Lynn shifts his gaze and looks over.

He sees skiffs loaded with dark brown iron ore coming downstream from the upper Acadia River.

Although heavily loaded with iron ore, causing the skiffs to sit deep in the water, the water current aids in making rowing the skiff less laborious.

Eventually, the skiffs are moored beside the dock, and after the structure with a pulley device lifts them up, baskets of iron ore are transported to the dock.

The iron ore is placed onto the carts, pulled by draft horses, and transported to the blacksmith workshop in the town.

From digging open-pit iron ore to transporting it to the dock, then lifting and transporting, directly to the blacksmith workshop to use the blast furnace for iron smelting.

The high-quality iron produced is further forged by the blacksmith workshop to create various iron products needed by the territory...

The entire process constitutes a complete industry.

Self-sufficiency.

Once the autumn planting is finished, whether it's the excavation of open-pit salt mines or iron ore anthracite mining, the labor force investment must be increased.

The production of fine salt relates to the entire territory's economy and external trade.

Iron ore and anthracite are essential for weapon forging and armor production, enhancing the armed power of the territory!

As Lynn is absorbed in these thoughts.

His fishing rod suddenly sinks.

Lynn hurriedly turns and spots the reed rod floating on the water has sunk beneath the river.

Red, standing beside him, instantly notices, widening his eyes to look.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Master!"

Based on the pulling force felt through his hand and the bending angle of the fishing rod, Lynn predicts... this fish weighs at least five pounds!

The fish in the river is frantically swaying left and right, trying to escape the hook.

However, experienced fisherman Lynn doesn't give it a chance and starts to reel it in.

Lynn lowers the fishing rod as much as possible, maintaining an almost horizontal position.

This allows the line to have enough length to cushion the impact of the fish's strength.

Although the fishing rod in hand is somewhat rudimentary, Lynn strives to compensate for this defect with his technique.

Lynn uses the 'figure 8' reeling method, causing the big fish in the river to swim in circles, gradually depleting its energy.

Luckily, there aren't any stones or aquatic plants around.

There's ample space for the fish to swim in the river.

Some time later.

Lynn distinctly feels the force on the fishing rod has significantly weakened.

A corner of his mouth lifts, and Lynn begins to raise his fishing rod, slowly guiding the fish in the river towards the surface.

Half a minute later.

A flash of fish belly white enters the eyes of Lynn and Red.

Lynn instinctively reaches for the net, only to realize he only has a fishing rod.

However, this doesn't matter.

Lynn slowly retreats towards the barren land behind him.

He turns the fishing rod, landing the fish hooked on the end of the line onto the grass.

Looking at the size of this big fish, its weight is as he predicted.

Even after leaving the water, the bass continues to flip over the grass.

Red strides forward and removes the bass from the hook.

There is evident delight on his face, "Master Lynn, it's a bass!"

Lynn also walks up with joy.

The sense of achievement and satisfaction from fishing cannot be compared to using nets or fishing cages.

Even hunting with a longbow to get game is incomparable.

[Bass]: Tender, smooth flesh, rich in quality protein and minerals.

Lynn searches around, finds a long, flexible piece of grass not far away.

He spins it in his hand, twisting the grass into a simple string.

Returning to the bass side, Lynn threads one end of the grass string through the bass's nostrils in Red's curious gaze.

He ties the other end to the fish tail, slightly exerting his arm, forming the bass into a bow shape.

Red is amazed to find the bass is still breathing robustly outside the water.

He asks curiously, "Master Lynn, this is...?"

Lynn replies, "Bow fish technique!"

"It can increase the fish's survival time, a few hours at minimum or several days at maximum!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Red's brows suddenly lift.

This simple operation can make fish survive for hours or even days outside water?

If it were someone else, Red might scoff.

But this statement and binding come from Master Lynn.

Red can't help but believe it!

To him, anything Master Lynn produces is sensible.

Handing the bass to Red, Lynn sits back on the wood chair.

Once again, he baits with chicken entrails, continuing to fish.

After completing these tasks, Lynn focuses his mind, opens the [Heavenly Artifacts] interface, entering the symbol with a fishing rod wrapped with a fishing line.

This is the [Fishing] function.
