Chapter 656: Chapter 235: Spoils of War (10,000 Words) (5)
This Weng City was originally built to enhance the defense capability of the city walls.
The hollow area inside amounts to no more than six or seven hundred square ters.
Naturally, it’s impossible to imprison all the peasant prisoners of war inside.
However, as long as Rose arranges for the soldiers to guard them, it will be sufficient.
Population resources have always been extrely important resources.
If soone tries to incite or stir up trouble,
he will not hesitate to execute them!
What he needs more is a group of townsn who can work hard and follow orders!
They can have food, houses, and even freedom.
But only within the limits he allows!
Lynn continued, "Before dawn tomorrow, bring them to the Lord’s Square."
Wesley and Rose quickly lowered their heads and responded, "Yes, Master."
Lynn nudged his horse’s belly, and Mo Ying continued moving forward.
He left the Weng City with Red and several guards holding torches.
On the way back to the town,
Lynn was continuously pondering how to utilize the labor force of these peasants.
The first thing to do,
naturally, is to have Petra, the scribe, register the identities and nas of the six thousand laborers.
Then, it will facilitate future managent.
After the registration is complete, and after they have had a full al,
they can be driven to the back of the town.
To dig foundations, build red brick houses, and expand the residential area.
The current residential area does not have ready-made houses to accommodate a population of six thousand.
To have red brick houses, they will have to do it themselves!
Whether it’s red brick, gray tile, or li river sand, all are available.
If it’s not enough, they will be divided into tasks.
To collect stones and burn li.
To the banks of the Aladia River, to find and dig river sand!
According to his earlier idea, one family or two people will live in one red brick house.
For a population of six thousand, at least three thousand red brick houses are needed.
The quantity is too massive!
Once they have completed the construction of the red brick houses,
he can further organize and train these six thousand townsn.
Whether it’s the farmland short on labor,
or expanding the scale of the handicraft workshops,
or even expanding the military!
Only with more labor can he have more choices for developnt.
As Lynn was pondering in his mind,
he had already returned to the town, to the castle gate.
Lynn saw Kuisi pacing back and forth at the gate at a glance.
Kuisi naturally also saw Lynn and Red.
She approached with a look of joy on her face and said delightedly, "Master, you are finally back!"
"I saved you dinner, I’ll go have the maid heat it up now."
Lynn responded, "Alright."
Upon receiving Lynn’s response, Kuisi’s eyebrows lifted, and she quickly ran into the castle.
Watching Kuisi’s back, Lynn and Red couldn’t help but exchange glances.
Red, like Lynn, had a face full of incomprehension.
Entering the castle,
dismounting and handing the reins to a guard,
Lynn walked up the steps.
Through the reception hall, he sat straight down at the head of the dining table.
Leaning back, the comfortable leather support feeling, instantly ca.
Wearing armor, riding a warhorse, gripping weapons, is not to show off!
It’s for defending the holand, expanding territory, and pursuing more benefits.
Heavy, limited mobility, uncomfortable heat, fatigue accumulation.
Combined with the jarring sensation brought by long rides on horseback...
No one would want to keep a set of tens of pounds of armor on at all tis.
After a while,
Kuisi brought three maids, carrying heated food, to the dining table.
While arranging, Kuisi asked, "Master, do you want to prepare hot water?"
Lynn nodded, "Prepare it, I can have a soak."
Kuisi imdiately replied, "Yes, Master."
After her response, Kuisi looked at the maid and instructed a few words.
The maid imdiately retreated.
At the dining table,
only Lynn, Red, and Kuisi remained.
Kuisi placed a large cut of fried pork chop on Lynn’s plate, then said, "Master, everything in the domain is proceeding normally today."
Lynn used his dining knife to put the at from his plate into his mouth and began chewing.
In an instant,
a blend of fatty at aroma and seasoning flavor spread in his mouth.
Crispy on the outside, tender inside, juicy and with distinct textures.
Perhaps because he hadn’t eaten all day, he was already hungry.
That’s why he felt the reheated fried pork chop was still so delicious.
After chewing for a while, he swallowed the fried pork chop in his mouth.
Lynn picked up the beer on the table and took a swig.
The comfort from eating the food swept over him instantly.
After ten minutes,
Lynn and Red finished their dinner, reclining on their wooden chairs.
Lynn looked at Kuisi and said, "Tomorrow morning, Rose will lead a large group of peasants to the Lord’s Square."
"Inform Petra to go for population registration early in the morning."
Kuisi nodded understandingly.
Lynn continued, "Tell the canteen chef to prepare food for six thousand people tomorrow!"
Kuisi was surprised in her heart and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Master, this many?"
Last ti, when Master Lynn left the territory, he only brought back about a thousand and five hundred slaves.
This ti, it’s several tis more!
Lynn nodded, "Yes."
"Also confiscated money, food, poultry, livestock, iron goods, and various sundries."
"Wesley will assist you in doing the inventory."
