System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 678 - 239: Viscount Grayson (10K)

Debt repayment is a natural duty.

He certainly wouldn’t have any reluctance or hesitation.

Lynn Grayson continued, "Not only that, Master Lynn."

"Audrey said the extra one thousand Gold Pounds in the wooden box is meant to reach a long-term trade agreement with you."

Lynn looked at Grayson, puzzled, and asked, "A long-term trade agreement?"

"Tell me about it."

Grayson hesitated for a few seconds, but still began to speak.

"The last batch of glazed glass products has been entirely transported back to the Portlands Empire by Audrey."

"Except for a few finely crafted glazed glass items, the rest have been sold by her!"

"Sold to the lord nobility of the Portlands Empire."

"As for the price... I temporarily do not know how much."

"But I know those lord nobility like them very much and are willing to pay a high price to purchase them!"

Lynn nodded in agreement, "No problem."

Most of the glazed glass products made in his territory are used to meet the daily needs of the townsmen.

It’s just Grayson and Audrey who have made a few exchange transactions.

Earning more Gold Pounds over the next half year, he’s naturally willing.

Grayson replied, "As long as you agree, Master Lynn, there’s no problem."

"Audrey instructed me that each time, at least five hundred flawless glazed glass items need to be brought back to the Portlands Empire."

Lynn began to ponder.

Right now, he has the glass production mainly led by Layla and two hundred apprentices making them.

The kiln in the workshop can produce about one hundred small glazed glass products at a time.

Among them, some bubbles appear due to moisture evaporation during casting.

This affects the molding of the glass.

Defective products are cleared out for processing.

Only about sixty to seventy pieces can be used for exchange transactions.

And each kiln firing takes at least five days.

That is to say.

Based on the current production efficiency, a maximum of over three hundred sixty pieces can be produced a month!

However.

If a long-term cooperation with Audrey is reached, he could expand the size of his glass workshop!

Six thousand peasants, plus one thousand slaves brought by Grayson now.

More than seven thousand workers are enough for him to allocate some to expand the production scale of the glass workshop.

After finalizing the transaction for trading glazed glass.

Lynn instructed George to lead the townsmen to unload the grain from the horses.

He walked towards the glass workshop with Grayson.

As they walked, Grayson was narrating, "Master Lynn, you might not know." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"The war of the Portlands Empire is nearing its end!"

Walking alongside Grayson, Lynn remained silent, listening to Grayson’s narration.

These intelligence details were beyond his reach now.

He could only rely on cross-regional merchants spreading the word.

Despite the Portlands Empire being extremely distant from his territory.

It is beneficial for him to control the external situation.

Grayson’s words had a hint of amazement.

"I feel the most critical factor is Audrey’s involvement."

"Because of Audrey’s financial contribution, all the soldiers are well-fed and arrayed in large amounts of armor."

"Moreover, most of the soldiers receive military pay!"

Lynn nodded in agreement.

Apart from military pay.

If even daily sustenance can’t be secured, weapons and armor cannot be equipped.

What would the soldiers fight with?

Grayson’s voice continued.

"Although the war is said to be nearing its end, the Weituo side is still resisting stubbornly."

"To completely crush Weituo’s military power and let Chronos ascend to the imperial throne of the Portlands Empire, more time is needed!"

Lynn responded, acknowledging.

In situations he fully understands, maintaining silence often gives others a sense of respect.

Lynn considers himself a lord skilled in listening.

Grayson seemed to think of something, he turned and looked at Lynn.

"By the way, Master Lynn."

"I don’t know if you’ve received intelligence information about the Karedi Empire."

"Marquis Duca has already led the family Sword and Shield Army corps soldiers, heading to Windmill Ridge Canyon!"

"Not only Marquis Duca, but many vassals of Ducas’ emblazoned territories also bring their family soldiers for support."

Lynn responded, "I’ve heard a part of it."

He only heard Carlo tell him that Mark Ducas was mobilizing the army, leaving Bordeaux City.

But didn’t know.

That Mark Ducas was bringing the army to Windmill Ridge Canyon.

He briefly recalled.

If not mistaken, Windmill Ridge Canyon is quite distant from Triumph City!

Grayson said, "The Portlands Empire is engaging in a father-son imperial authority war."

"The Karedi Empire is equally tense, with half-brothers vying for the aging Emperor’s throne..."

"It seems it won’t be long before an imperial authority war erupts there as well."

"It’s all about desires yet unfulfilled!"

"Of course, not just them."

"I am no different from them!"

Lynn did not oppose.

With weapons in hand, desires for killing arise, inevitably wanting to fulfill one’s ambitions.

With numerous soldiers, fine weapons.

If war isn’t initiated, what’s the point of keeping them?

Even he thinks the same.

Tending land, expanding population, creating weapons, strengthening the army.
