Three days later.

Lynn woke up early.

After having breakfast, he walked out of the cabin and headed towards the distant dock.

Since Red went to lead the soldiers in archery training, only a few guards remained by his side to protect him.

In fact, Lynn even considered dismissing a few guards.

But he was persuaded not to by Kuisi.

The presence of the guards, even if there was no danger in this territory, could help him with some odd jobs.

He hadn't yet reached the dock.

Lynn already saw that a nearby shipyard was in the final stages of completion.

The support under the shipyard had been completed, and dozens of apprentices were nailing the wooden platform.

The platform was not particularly large; Lynn estimated it to be about two thousand square meters.

If the waterways were open in the future, the platform would be more than sufficient for constructing longships.

And behind the platform, on the bank of the levee, there were several gable-roofed, semi-open warehouses made of red brick.

They could be used for storing materials or goods and could also be used to build various ships, protecting them from the elements.

Colin, who was inspecting the shipyard, saw Lynn approaching and immediately took a few steps forward to greet him.

Colin spoke respectfully, "Master Lynn?"

Lynn responded, "The shipyard completed?"

Colin bent his body slightly and explained, "It's generally completed, just requires some finishing work."

"The shipyard's working platform is two thousand square meters, enough space to build dozens of small boats simultaneously; even for transporting longships, there is more than enough room!"

"We've built five warehouses at the back; if the small boats are not immediately needed, they can be stored in the warehouses..."

Lynn nodded, "Well done, a good job."

Colin bowed slightly, "Master Lynn, you flatter me."

Lynn acknowledged his words and continued, "However, there is probably no time for you to rest."

"I need you all to continue working, constructing small boats. I need at least twenty small boats."

With the completion of the shipyard and fishing nets in weaving, it's natural to start developing the fishing industry.

With the fishing industry, there will be a large amount of river fish.

With river fish, there will be a large quantity of meat.

As we get closer to winter, if heavy snow blocks the roads, making cart traffic impossible, the grain and meat merchants bring to the territory will greatly reduce.

Possibly even none!

The caught fish, after being smoked and dried in the smokehouses, will be stored as meat reserves.

With river fish, there will be a large amount of fish oil.

Fish oil is a good material for making lamps.

And used in leather processing and maintenance.

Especially with the standard plate armor currently being made, fish oil can make the joints of the armor more smooth and fluid.

The surplus small boats can speed up the transportation of iron ore.

To make a large amount of standard plate armor, neither the mining, transportation, nor smelting of iron ore can be neglected.

Listening to Lynn's words, Colin nodded quickly, "Yes, Master Lynn."

"I have previously taught them, and some of the apprentices can already cooperate in making small boats."

"For twenty boats...at most a week! In a week we can complete them."

Lynn looked at Colin and said, "Now, in the territory, people like you with ability are few; for many different positions, you have to manage concurrently."

Feeling the change in Lynn's tone, Colin bent his body even lower, his words somewhat moved.

"Master Lynn, you overstate it; this is Colin's duty."

"Moreover, Master Lynn, you treat us so well that even to the point of exhaustion, we would not have any complaints."

Lynn nodded, "Go busy yourself."

Upon hearing this, Colin stood straight and left.

After inspecting around the shipyard and dock, Lynn was about to go fishing again.

Behind him came hurried footsteps, and Lynn turned to look; it was Kuisi.

Kuisi came to Lynn's side and said hurriedly, "Master, Mr. Boer...has arrived."

Lynn was somewhat puzzled, "Boer, hasn't he been here before?"

Kuisi quickly explained, "I apologize, Master, I didn't make it clear."

"Mr. Boer has brought a group of Free People to your territory and is currently waiting for you at the open square."

"I counted roughly; there are about sixty or seventy people!"

Lynn became interested, "Let's go take a look."

After speaking, Lynn, with Kuisi, returned to the town.

Previously, when Jean came to the territory—who was also one of the members who established the trade guild with Boer—had mentioned that Boer had been beaten by Jonas's guard.

Recovered so quickly?

Soon after.

Lynn returned to the town.

Glancing around.

In front, several carts were parked on the open square.

Boer, dressed in a silk robe, stood at the front of the carts.

Even though he had been waiting for more than half an hour, there was no sign of urgency or impatience on his face.

When he saw Master Lynn approaching from a distance, a polite smile instantly appeared on Boer's face.

He took two steps forward, stopped, and spoke respectfully, "Master Lynn."

Lynn looked at Boer.

Indeed, there were bruises around his eyes and a split wound at the corner of his mouth.

Lynn asked, "Feeling better?"

Listening to Lynn's words, Boer was not surprised at all and explained, "Thank you for your concern, Master Lynn."

"After resting for more than a week, normal daily life is not affected now."

After Jean returned and told him about exchanging three thousand pounds of fine salt, Boer, after a little calculation, understood.
