Chapter 232: Chapter 158: Distinction Between Nobility and Commoners
Red then led a hundred soldiers towards the outskirts of the town.
Previously, Rose had established a physical training field outside the town.
Now, Red only needed to convert it into an archery training ground to start training.
As Red and his n disappeared outside the town, Lynn withdrew his gaze.
He glanced at the skill experience on the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel.
Lynn stepped forward, heading towards the cafeteria.
There, dozens of carpenters were assembling tables and chairs.
Lynn picked up a hand axe and joined the assembly line under their sowhat surprised gaze.

...
Bit by bit, the experience was increasing.
Ti slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The construction of the cafeteria was completed, and the tables and chairs needed inside were also finished and assembled.
Lynn looked around.
In the cafeteria, the tables and chairs custom-made with raw wood and iron nails were neatly arranged.
The gray tiles on top concealed the sky above, coupled with the red brick walls around, ensuring that neither wind nor rain would affect dining inside.
The kitchen was also moved into the cafeteria.
The cafeteria and the kitchen were separated by a wooden fence.
Townsn could queue to receive food from one of the several windows in the fence.
Seeing this scene, Lynn couldn’t help but smile.
It quite resembled an employee cafeteria.
Glancing at the sky, Lynn was about to go to the riverside for [fishing].
In the distance, a convoy of carts was approaching under the sun’s rays.
Lynn stopped, waiting as the carts gradually arrived.
After ten minutes.
The convoy stopped at the square in front of the town.
There weren’t many carts, only six drawn by a single horse each.
The carts were loaded full with goods, covered by linen oilcloths.
A slender middle-aged man jumped off one of the carts.
His expression was tense, his gaze searching until it landed on Lynn.
Lynn was dressed in a silk robe, easily distinguishable from others.
The middle-aged man approached Lynn and bowed deeply, "Excuse ... Are you Master Lynn?"
His words were humble, even fragnted with a trace of nervousness.
Lynn gave him a glance, "I am Lynn."
Upon hearing Lynn’s response, the middle-aged man’s face lit up with surprise.
"Master Lynn, I am Gene Evans, a mber of Mr. Boer’s trade association."
"I am sent by his instruction to deliver this batch of linen to your territory..."
Lynn glanced at the carts, and asked, "What happened to Boer?"
Keane’s face showed hesitation, his words stamred.
Lynn’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Speak directly."
Feeling the change in Lynn’s tone, Keane was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Boer was beaten up by the Guards of Jonas Manor Lord in Morgan Town."
Lynn prompted, "Continue."
Jian continued, "Because so Free People heard from Mr. Boer that your territory is recruiting Free People, many beca eager to try."
"Since autumn planting has ended, many Free People have completed their employnt with various manor lords."
"However, after Jonas Manor Lord learned of this, instead of allowing those Free People to leave, he had Mr. Boer beaten up..."
Upon hearing this.
Lynn understood, he asked solemnly, "How is Boer now?"
Keane explained, "The injuries aren’t too severe, but he might need to rest at ho for a while."
"So, Mr. Boer instructed
to co and trade with you, Master Lynn..."
Lynn nodded, "How many pounds of linen are there in total?"
Keane quickly replied, "Master Lynn, there are ten thousand pounds of linen, two pounds for three pence."
Lynn replied, "I can exchange it for three thousand pounds of fine salt for Mr. Boer."
Ten thousand pounds of linen converts to two thousand five hundred pounds of fine salt.
Hearing Lynn’s words, Keane’s eyes brightened, and he spoke sowhat hastily, "Good, good, Master Lynn, Mr. Boer specifically wants fine salt!"
Lynn acknowledged, then turned to George beside him.
George imdiately understood, calling over a dozen townsn to start unloading the goods from the carts.
Watching bundles of dried linen being continuously unloaded, Lynn spoke calmly, "Gene, you ntioned Jonas Manor Lord is..."
Gene quickly shifted his gaze from the unloading to Lynn.
He explained, "Master Lynn, there are four manor lords in Morgan Town, and Jonas Manor Lord is the largest manor lord!"
"He occupies the most extensive land, with nurous followers, Guards, and Peasants."
"Almost four thousand people in Morgan Town, at least a thousand Free People, have been employed by him at so point..."
"It would not be an exaggeration to say he is the master of Morgan Town!"
Lynn nodded slightly and continued asking, "How many Guards and followers are there, exactly?"
Gene was stunned, shaking his head, "Master Lynn, that... I’m not sure..."
"I’ve never been to Jonas Manor Lord’s territory, only heard tales."
"However, when Jonas cos and goes from Morgan Town, there are always at least a dozen Guards around him..."
Lynn nodded again and didn’t pursue further questions.
Gene wisely kept silent.
Lynn didn’t speak, and Gene dared not make any needless remarks.
Not long after.
