After instructing Beo to accelerate the production of glazed stoneware, Lynn walked out of the pottery workshop.

Compared to the blacksmith workshop and the textile workshop, the importance of the pottery workshop indeed seemed less significant.

However.

The pottery workshop was still an essential handicraft workshop for a territory or a small town.

Not only to improve the quality of life for the townsmen using glazed stoneware.

As the pottery workshop continues to develop, it can extend to mechanical engineering advances!

For instance, the combination of simple machinery!

For instance, the development of glazing technology.

Glaze can completely be applied in the surface treatment of various objects, and more.

...

Lynn continued walking through the town, his gaze sweeping around.

The most eye-catching was the main castle in the center of the town.

After the farming season ended, a large labor force was invested in the construction of the main castle, and the construction speed of the main castle showed a significant improvement.

In just half a day.

The main castle had already reached the final stage of its third floor!

At this construction speed, Lynn even felt that by the end of the year, he could move into the main castle!

On the right side of the town's open square, the canteen was also nearing completion.

Lynn had previously estimated.

To accommodate at least five thousand people dining simultaneously, the canteen would require an area of at least twenty thousand square meters.

Because this canteen was not just a flat open space, rows of tables and chairs needed to be set up on the open space.

Allowing all the townsmen to dine uniformly, while protecting them from wind and rain.

Not only that.

All future kitchens would be moved here, merging with the canteen for unified management!

After inspecting the canteen, Lynn arrived at the market area.

Rows of shops were arranged in a grid pattern.

Between each row of shops, there were interlaced five-meter-wide red-brick roads.

With such wide roads, not only could pedestrians walk, but even horse-drawn carriages could pass comfortably!

The construction of the market area was relatively simple.

Shops, stalls, and a commercial guild hall.

By the end of this month, the two-story commercial guild hall in front of Lynn would be completed.

At that time.

Discussions and trade negotiations with merchants who come to the town will be held here.

And establishing a merchant guild that belongs to Lynn himself!

With salt mines, coal mines, and iron mines, Lynn could be said to own three gold mountains.

Therefore, he preferred to trade goods with merchants outside the territory at a price of fine salt lower than the market price.

When the Sea Siren occupied the Gibraltar Strait, a pound of fine salt could sell for as high as twelve pence!

Compared to the previous six pence, it was a direct doubling!

But Lynn never once raised the exchange price of fine salt.

That's because the territory now needs various goods for rapid development.

Also because.

Lynn needed to provide these merchants with enough profit.

Only then would they be willing to transport goods tirelessly from all over the continent, crossing the Gibraltar Strait.

Arriving in the Karedi Empire.

Then coming to Fisherman's Wharf in Kakasong City.

Using a convoy of carriages for land transport, they could finally reach his territory.

This was an extremely long process.

If there wasn't enough profit, who would invest such transport capacity and spend so much effort?

No businessman is without deceit!

Of course, the most important point.

But now, Lynn's strength wasn't enough!

If he didn't feed these merchants well, not to mention anything else, just the open-pit salt mine alone would be enough to drive countless merchants into a frenzy, doing things that are damaging to others without benefiting themselves.

But.

When Lynn overcame this weakest stage of development.

Growing countless barley in the fifty-thousand-acre farmland.

Forging and producing countless full plate armors and weapons in the blacksmith workshop.

Producing countless longbows in the bow and arrow workshop.

The purchased slaves continually joining the barracks…

By then, everything would become fundamentally different.

If you want to trade goods from this territory, of course, you can.

But there's one thing: my rules are the rules!

Smoothing some restless emotions, Lynn continued to step forward, continuing to inspect the village.

After touring the town, Lynn rode Mo Ying to the salt factory.

Since the salt factory expanded to three, it was the first time he had come here.

Dismounting from Mo Ying, Lynn's eyes scanned the newly built two salt factories.

Unlike the first salt factory.

The newly built two salt factories were constructed entirely with red brick and lime.

The top was constructed using logs into a gabled roof, covered with gray tiles fired by the Red Brick Factory.

Each salt factory had a huge stone grinder that rotated and crushed continuously under the pull of horses.

In the beginning, Lynn had considered building a stone grinder waterwheel here.

However, this place was a distance from the Acadia River, and relying on gear transmission devices could not drive it.

So, Lynn decided to give up.

In the salt factory, hundreds of workers were laboring in an orderly fashion.

Crushing rock salt, cleaning and sorting, then soaking it in the brine pool for dissolution.

The dissolved brine was poured into iron pots capable of holding over ten thousand pounds, for evaporation and crystallization…

Each worker was responsible for their assigned work, with no cumbersome work transitions.

While Lynn was inspecting, Kuisi's figure came into his view.

Kuisi was reprimanding a dozen salt factory workers.

"The work you need to do isn't difficult, so why is the production of fine salt so slow?"
