Chapter 607: Chapter 227: Construction of the Mutated Wild Boar Farm

Suddenly.

Hunter’s eyes lit up, and he continued speaking.

"By the way, there’s something I almost forgot to mention..."

Lynn looked at Hunter once more.

Hunter explained, "A few days ago, someone saw Viscount Jon Zuck of Kakasong City leaving the city with a contingent of guards."

"It’s said that he was summoned by Marquis Mark Ducas to head to Bordeaux City."

Lynn remained silent, waiting for Hunter to continue.

"The purpose of going to Bordeaux City is still unknown to anyone."

"However, it is speculated that Jon Zuck’s departure at this time to Bordeaux City is very likely related to the impending imperial power struggle!"

The imperial power struggle relates to the development and direction of the entire Karedi Empire’s situation.

Even the unarmed residents are concerned about it.

After all, a new emperor might change the current tax policies!

Lynn nodded again.

Marquis Duca is the greatest Lord of this territory.

A vassal viscount like Jon Zuck naturally needs to fulfill obligations to the Ducas Clan as the marquis.

Providing military support and paying taxes.

In fact, a large part of the armed forces within the Marquisate of Dukas comes from vassals.

Of course.

Many divided noble lords, by virtue of their strength, the importance of their territories, or alliances with other forces,

possess strong autonomy.

They do not necessarily respond to the marquis’s summons and may even seize the opportunity to vie for the marquis’s power.

Especially considering the current situation of the Ducas Clan!

Many lords had once had close ties with Donovan Ducas.

They charged forward and fought valiantly together, forging friendships in blood and fire.

Now, a little-known young man, Mark Ducas, has ascended as the marquis.

They naturally would disregard the call of Mark Ducas.

There is another kind.

Just like the rural manor lords of Morgan Town.

Remote location, weak strength.

The main focus is development to expand Marquis Duca’s territories and increase tax revenue.

Otherwise.

After a possible battlefield experience, the manor lord’s armed forces might be heavily damaged.

Lacking any armed forces to even protect the safety of the manor.

They would then directly face the looting and occupation by bandits!

As Hunter continued narrating.

A team had already crossed a vast field to arrive at the town.

George had already led a team of townsmen, waiting at Lord’s Square.

Lynn called George over to arrange for the townsmen to load and unload goods.

Figures began to busy themselves.

During their journey, Lynn had already agreed on the price with Hunter.

Forty thousand pounds of barley, all exchanged for liquor at current market prices.

Three pounds of barley for one penny.

However, Lynn didn’t raise the price of gin and beer.

He exchanged for Hunter at the original price.

When hearing this news, Lynn noticed the brightness in Hunter’s eyes.

Such prices were naturally not profitable for him.

But.

To ensure Hunter’s continued dedication in transporting goods for him.

He didn’t mind letting Hunter earn more profit in the sale of liquor.

Only with sufficient profit would Hunter be motivated to transport grains or other goods to his territory.

Driving the convoy from Kakasong to his land, due to the weight of the goods.

It required at least ten days to half a month.

During this period, many risks might occur.

Bandit attacks, though not frequently heard now.

Adverse weather, geographical obstacles, diseases and plagues, and trade rules, religious restrictions, etc...

He transferred these risks to the merchants through the method of low-priced goods exchange!

If these merchants wanted to profit from exchanging fine salts, liquor, or glazed glass items.

No problem.

As long as the goods were safely delivered into his territory.

Merchants could take the exchanged goods away, to sell in the market.

The amount of profit gained depended on the merchants’ capabilities.

As for any risks encountered, he was not responsible!

It was that simple!

Lynn left George in charge of hosting Hunter as he strode towards the Handicraft Workshop District.

Entering the Handicraft Workshop District, heading straight for the textile workshop.

Under the watchful eyes of workers, Lynn strode inside.

Seeing Lynn, Yimini immediately approached him.

"Master, you’ve come, do you have any orders?"

Lynn glanced inside the workshop where workers were still diligently working on stitching and weaving.

However.

Compared to the previous nine-to-six routine, their faces seemed slightly weary now.

Lynn responded, "How many sets of composite armor are there in the warehouse now?"

Yimini recalled a bit and answered, "Master, three hundred sets!"

"According to your request, we are now producing eighteen sets of composite armor daily."

Upon hearing this, Lynn nodded.

There was still a shortfall of two sets from the goal of daily producing twenty sets of composite armor.

But it was only two sets after all.

As long as some stitching workers become more skilled, they can achieve a daily output of twenty sets!
