System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 540 - 216: Catapult (10,000)

Looking at the sack in the corner away from the campfire, Lynn felt a little emotional.

The number of guards he brought was indeed too few.

However, on second thought.

He went out with the guards precisely to use the [Ore Vein Detector] for exploration.

The main task was to search!

As long as he notes down the location of these minerals, he can organize a large group of townsmen to come and collect and mine them after returning to the town.

After dinner and a night’s rest.

Early the next morning, Lynn prepared to return with the group of guards.

The task of this exploration was already completed.

With the existence of the [Holographic Map].

As long as it was within his territory, Lynn had no need to worry about getting lost!

They passed through forests until the afternoon.

Lynn and the others returned to the open-pit iron mine.

Under the respectful gazes of the workers at the open-pit iron mine, Lynn mounted his horse and galloped down the limestone road with Red and others.

Heading back towards the town.

Shortly after nightfall.

Lynn and his party returned to the town, passing through the red brick roads between the town, and entered the castle.

Handing the warhorse to the guards, Lynn walked up the stairs to the second floor.

As he entered the hall, Kuisi greeted him head-on.

"Master, you’re back. I’ll arrange for a maid to prepare food and hot water for you now."

Lynn responded, walked through the hall, ascended the small staircase, and sat on the lord’s throne.

Feeling the soft and comfortable leather under him, Lynn’s body relaxed a little.

After instructing the maid, Kuisi came to the step outside the lord’s throne.

She said, "Master, would you like me to report on the events that occurred in the territory during your absence?"

Lynn answered, "Go ahead."

Granted permission from Lynn, Kuisi bowed slightly.

"On the day you left, Boss Hunter from Kakasong City Tavern arrived in the town with a carriage."

"However, this time he did not bring oxen and draft horses, only thirty thousand pounds of barley."

"In a transaction arranged by Mr. George, five hundred pounds of gin were exchanged with Boss Hunter."

"Then, Boss Hunter used eight gold pounds to purchase ten thousand pounds of beer at a price of one penny for two pounds!"

Lynn nodded slightly.

He had seen Hunter’s arrival through [Holographic Projection].

Seeing that Master Lynn did not ask any questions, Kuisi continued to narrate understandingly.

"According to your request, Kuisi has already arranged for the townsmen to go to school in batches to receive scholars’ teachings."

"To not affect daytime work, without your permission, I specifically arranged for them to study for two hours in the evening."

Lynn commended, "That’s good."

"As the steward of the town, such small matters can be decided by you."

Upon hearing this, Kuisi’s originally tense heart relaxed a little.

She continued, "Scholar Clive Rich sought you out two days ago."

"He said that if needed, he could design armor for the soldiers in the territory."

"He can create the design blueprint for the armor style you want, and later, just some modification during the forging of armor plates can achieve the desired effect."

Listening to Kuisi, Lynn became interested.

He had previously considered leaving unique symbols or marks on the forged armor.

As he had asked Rose before, they were excited by the Wolf God totem.

However, due to the initial limitations in casting and forging technology.

It was impossible to create exquisite armor symbols and patterns.

Clive Rich, who researches in the direction of painting and such, could be asked to try it.

The patterns or symbols on the armor could give soldiers a sense of belonging!

And, taking pride in the army name assigned to them, enhancing their combat power!

Just like the Ducas Clan’s greatsword and shield emblem.

The soldiers of the Ducas Clan were known to the world as the Sword and Shield Corps.

As for what to name the army in his own territory, Lynn hadn’t decided yet.

Lynn nodded, "I understand this matter, I will look for Clive later."

Kuisi bowed slightly again and continued, "As for other workshops, everything is proceeding normally."

"Oh right, Master, Foreman Colin of the Woodworker Workshop informed me that the first catapult has been manufactured and tested."

"You can go to the Woodworker Workshop at any time to inspect the catapult."

Lynn responded.

With such detailed blueprints and so many carpenter apprentices, and seven days had passed.

If Colin still couldn’t produce the first catapult, he could really consider sending Colin to dig mines as a black slave!

Kuisi continued, "Master, finally, it’s about the reclamation and planting in the wasteland."

"According to the current progress, at most three more days, and the townsmen will complete this spring’s sowing—planting fifty thousand acres of farmland!"

Lynn said, "Continue planting until the end of April, don’t waste this spring plowing season."

As the townsmen continue to reclaim and plant, their proficiency naturally increases.

Plus, with the adult oxen and draft horses transported by Hunter, the speed of reclamation and planting naturally improved.

It’s only a week until the end of April.

Might as well let them continue planting; it won’t affect anything.

Hearing Lynn’s words, Kuisi understood and bowed in agreement. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yes, Master."

After waiting for the chef to finish cooking, Lynn entered the private chamber and enjoyed a comfortable soak.
