System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 605 - 227: Construction of the Mutated Wild Boar Farm

Chapter 605: Chapter 227: Construction of the Mutated Wild Boar Farm

"A batch of fuel was just delivered by merchants, and I will arrange for personnel to dye a batch of vibrant-colored linen cloth to make flags."

"Let the soldiers stationed in the watchtower wave the flags to give a warning."

Rose and Avery, summoned by Lynn’s guard, responded in unison.

"Yes."

Lynn dismissed Avery, letting him continue with his tasks.

Lynn’s gaze turned to Rose.

"Lord Rose!"

Rose’s expression turned solemn, and he quickly replied, "Here, Master."

Lynn continued, "How many sets of armor and weapons do the soldiers under your command still lack?"

Rose’s eyebrows raised slightly; he naturally understood the implication in Lynn’s words.

He hurriedly replied, "Master, we are still short of four hundred and eighty sets of armor, and there is a greater lack of weapons."

"Four hundred winged spears, three hundred and eighty longswords!"

"Vice Thousand Households Wesley’s archers are barely equipped with enough bows and arrows, but still lack one hundred standard longswords for close combat."

The shortage of armor and weapons is clearly for the five hundred soldiers recruited after the spring planting season.

Lynn nodded and said, "I have already arranged for the blacksmith workshop and the textile workshop to work overtime and rush production."

"When the time comes, I will have you lead the soldiers to receive them in batches."

Rose’s face showed a hint of delight, "Yes, Master."

They are soldiers, they are warriors, true.

If they have not yet entered the battlefield, engaging in ordinary training, the lack of armor doesn’t matter much.

But if war suddenly breaks out and they need to charge onto the battlefield,

Without armor, they are just a little better than ordinary people after training.

In the face of enemies clad in armor and wielding long spears, they would be skewered in an instant!

Lynn thought of something and continued, "A while back, merchants delivered a hundred warhorses; arrange for someone to ride them at your discretion."

"However, there’s one thing you must tell them,"

"Bring back the warhorse along with the rider!"

Rose felt a chill in his heart and immediately bent down, "Yes, Master."

Lynn acknowledged and let Rose step back.

He continued to stand on top of the city wall, gazing out beyond it.

Time slowly passed by.

Just as Lynn was preparing to step down from the city wall, a series of carriages approached rapidly in the distance.

Lynn stood on the city wall waiting.

When the carriages were about to arrive at the foot of the city wall, he finally saw the leader in front of the carriages.

It was Hunter, the owner of the Riverside Rest Tavern in Kakasong City.

Lynn walked down the city wall.

Hunter, undergoing inspection from the soldiers as he entered the city gate, shifted his gaze.

Soon, Hunter spotted Lynn ahead.

Hunter jumped down from the carriage and quickly ran towards Lynn.

He came before Lynn and performed a merchant’s bow, speaking respectfully.

"Master Lynn, I didn’t expect to meet you here!"

Lynn nodded and said, "Indeed, quite a coincidence, Mr. Hunter."

Hunter visits his territory roughly every seven to eight days.

However.

The trades mainly involve the liquor on his estate, as well as delivering grains for him.

He, who had been engrossed in grinding experience, handed everything over to George for trading and exchange.

Hunter bowed once more.

At this moment.

The soldiers in charge of checking Hunter’s convoy had completed their inspection.

Hunter quickly looked at Lynn, asking.

"Master Lynn, are you returning to town? I wonder if I have the honor of accompanying you?"

Lynn laughed and said, "Of course, Mr. Hunter."

As the guards brought over Mo Ying, a warhorse, Lynn mounted it and took the reins, gently nudging Mo Ying’s belly with his heels.

Mo Ying understood and started moving forward.

Hunter saw this and also mounted a horse, riding beside Lynn.

A little behind them, Guard Red and a convoy of carriages followed at a leisurely pace.

After walking for a short while.

Hunter was the first to speak, "Master Lynn, Mr. George mentioned that you are buying grains in significant quantities."

"Therefore, this time I brought thirty thousand pounds of barley for you."

Lynn glanced back; ten two-horse carriages were all fully loaded.

Even with the linen cloth covering, the shapes of the grains underneath were still visible.

Those were the outlines of barley.

Lynn nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hunter."

"The price of barley now must not be cheap, I assume?"

These words came out, unlocking Hunter’s box of words.

He agreeably said, "Indeed, Master Lynn!"

"The price of barley in Morgan Town has actually reached three pounds for one penny!"

"Wheat has even come to two pence per pound."

"Even some miscellaneous oats and rye have seen their prices doubled."

"What’s more bewildering is that at such prices, there are still people scrambling for them!"

"Many merchants who transport grains from elsewhere find their stocks emptied the moment they hit the market!"

Lynn’s mind was alerted, and he opened [Market and Prices] for a look.

Just as Hunter had said, it is not only Kakasong City.

The grain prices in other towns have surged significantly as well.

In cities like Kakasong City, which have inland river ports, the situation is relatively better.

But cities without inland river ports, devoid of external grain inflow, face exorbitant prices!

Two pounds of barley for one penny.

It even shows a tendency to continue rising!

Moreover.

The increase in the price of cereal grains has even driven up the prices of other commodities.
