Chapter 699: Chapter 242: I Want to Expand the Army (10,000) (6)
The first batch, a selection of thirteen hundred townsn with farming skills and experience, was handed over to Gavin and Wilbur.
Together with the existing seven hundred farrs, a team of two thousand farrs was ford.
From now on, the reclamation, planting, and care on the territory would be entirely their responsibility.
The second batch, five hundred townsn were selected for logging and paving!
From the open-pit iron mine, they started laying roads toward the natural alkali deposits and saltpeter caves deep in the forest.
Despite the difficulties, it’s necessary to ensure subsequent transport and smooth roads.
Even if so manpower and material resources are required, it must be done.
Fortunately.
With the water power of the Aladia River and the existence of the Noel Ship.
The necessary raw materials for road paving can be transported.
The third batch, one hundred people were selected to go to the excavation points of the natural alkali deposits and saltpeter caves.
Build red brick residential areas, kitchens, wells, and bathrooms, and other public facilities needed for living.
To ensure the daily lives of the workers.
The fourth batch, one hundred people were selected to go to the glass workshop, brewing workshop, fishery workshop, and miscellaneous workshop respectively.
Expand the production scale of the workshops and improve production efficiency.
Especially the glass workshop and brewing workshop.
They can be said to be the largest economic sources on the territory, besides the fine salt produced by the salt factory.
The last ti Grayson ca, he confird a long-term cooperative trade contract with Audrey.
The fifth batch, Lynn selected two hundred townsn each to go to the woodworker workshop, bow and arrow workshop, and shipyard!
Previously, to make small boats, he had to divide the apprentices in the woodworker workshop in half and use them separately.
The woodworker workshop made large siege machinery, and the shipyard made Noel ships.
Now that there’s enough labor, naturally, the labor gap needs to be filled imdiately.
The sa goes for the bow and arrow workshop.
While making standard longbows, they also need to make Zhuge crossbows.
Watching teams of townsn, led by guards, go to various different posts.
On Lord’s Square, surrounded by bustling figures, Lynn couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Industries in the territory that lacked labor, he basically dispatched a team of labor to supplent.
There are still three thousand four hundred people waiting for his allocation.
Is this what an abundance of labor feels like?
In the fifth batch, Lynn again drew out a thousand people, divided into two teams of five hundred, to the blacksmith workshop and textile workshop.
Given the limited forging skills, he can only expand the forging and production speed of the two workshops by increasing the number of laborers.
In the sixth batch, fifteen hundred people were selected.
They were divided into teams of five hundred each to go to the open-pit iron mine, coal mine, and salt mine for excavation.
The seventh batch, another four hundred people were selected.
They were sent to various mines, responsible for transporting all the territory’s ores.
Seeing the remaining thousand people, Lynn directly had the guards take them towards the direction of the city wall.
He handed them all over to Avery for the construction of the outer city!
Until the last batch of townsn left Lord’s Square, Lynn felt slightly relieved.
The population on the territory is increasing.
When these five thousand townsn go to their respective posts, production efficiency may not show much improvent at the beginning.
However.
As they beco familiar with their work and learn the essentials of labor.
Then, the developnt of the entire territory will see a quantitative boost.
It’s important to know.
Labor is the core elent and fundantal power of developnt!
Previously, he thought of letting the newly arrived townsn first undergo the corresponding skills training.
But he found that the territory lacked the teaching resources for training!
The six scholars brought by Tate can learn the corresponding skills first and then teach the townsn.
But these scholars have already ford fixed thinking patterns in their own minds.
Instead of having these scholars change themselves to accept new things and then teach.
It’s better to let these townsn start working directly.
After all, practical experience is the best teacher for anyone.
With six thousand laborers arranged, Lynn was thinking about whether to continue fishing.
In the distance.
A convoy of carriages traveled along the listone road, approaching.
With a thought, Lynn opened the holographic map to take a look.
At the forefront of the convoy was Hunter, mounted on horseback.
The owner of the Fisherman’s Wharf in Kakasong City and the Riverside Rest Tavern.
Lynn stood still, waiting for Hunter’s arrival.
After a dozen minutes.
The convoy finally arrived at Lord’s Square.
Hunter, dressed in satin, leapt down from his horse.
Upon seeing Lynn, he quickly stepped forward.
Coming to a few ters beside Lynn, Hunter showed a smile, his words filled with respect: "Master Lynn, long ti no see."
Lynn returned a smile, "Yes, I apologize, Mr. Hunter."
"The last ti you ca, I happened to be out due to so matters and couldn’t receive you personally."
Hunter slightly bowed, "Master Lynn, you are too kind."
"With Mr. George there, engaging in trade activities, I am already very satisfied."
Lynn nodded.
After the pleasantries, Hunter wasted no ti and began to explain.
"Master Lynn, this ti I brought a large shipnt of linen cloth for you."
"I wonder if you’re willing to trade?"
Lynn’s gaze turned to behind Hunter.
Ten carriages, each almost fully loaded.
But because they were covered with oilcloth, he couldn’t see the goods in the carriage compartnts.
Lynn replied, "Of course, Mr. Hunter, na your price!"
Hunter didn’t hesitate, "dium-grade linen cloth, totaling thirty thousand yards, the current market price is slightly over nine pence per yard."
"Master Lynn, you can give
nine pence."
Lynn opened the market and prices to take a look.
What Hunter said was indeed accurate.
However.
Due to the rising grain prices, compared to the previous price of eight pence per yard.
The price of linen cloth has also been affected.
Lynn said, "No problem, Mr. Hunter."
"If exchanged for Lexus Gin, I can offer you one thousand three hundred and fifty pounds!"
Hunter’s face showed a smile, "Master Lynn, besides exchanging for gin, I also want to purchase a large batch of beer!"
"With the weather getting warr, more and more people are coming to Kakasong City."
"I need to stock up on more beer for sumr sales."
"Moreover, Master Lynn, you might not know, but the gin from your brewing workshop is now widely favored by everyone!"
"Even so lord nobility from other cities are willing to ride carriages to my tavern to taste the scarce gin!"
Subsequently.
Hunter took out a bag of gold pounds, purchasing twenty thousand pounds of beer.
Once the transaction was confird, and under George’s arrangent, a group of townsn began unloading the goods.
Seeing the figures of townsn carrying goods, Lynn spoke to Hunter.
"Mr. Hunter, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
Hunter raised an eyebrow, "Master Lynn, feel free to instruct!"
