Chapter 657: Chapter 235: Spoils of War (10,000 Words) (6)

"All valuable items and funds will be under your control."

"Every transaction, both income and expenditure, needs to be clearly documented and archived."

It wasn’t that Lynn cared about the money.

Rather, it was because a territory must have someone managing its finances to ensure financial security.

Listening to Master Lynn’s instructions, Kuisi responded seriously, "Yes, Master."

At this time.

A maid approached Kuisi and whispered a few words.

After nodding, Kuisi said to Lynn, "Master, the hot water is ready; you can soak now."

Lynn responded with a sound.

He rose from the main seat at the dining table, walking away with heavy steps.

Compared to the soldiers, who wore more than fifty pounds of standard plate armor.

The scale armor with chain liner on him weighed only over thirty pounds.

Even after wearing it for a day, he still felt an intense sense of fatigue.

Walking into the private room.

With Kuisi’s help, Lynn removed his armor piece by piece.

Until finally.

Kuisi, with her head lowered and not daring to look directly, watched as he stepped into the bathtub.

As soon as Lynn lay down, the warm yet not scalding comfort instantly enveloped him.

Relieving the muscle fatigue throughout his body.

After a short while.

Lynn opened his eyes from resting and spoke to Kuisi, who was waiting nearby.

"Give me a massage, would you?"

Kuisi heard this and responded, walking over to Lynn’s side.

She dipped her hands slightly in the wooden bucket, warming them up.

Only then did Kuisi extend her slender, fair hands, placing them on Lynn’s shoulders.

Instantly, a sense of strong and tense muscle appeared in Kuisi’s palms.

Her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Kuisi’s eyes glanced over Lynn’s head, observing his well-defined muscular physique.

She couldn’t help but internally exclaim, ’Master Lynn has such a great body!’

However.

Kuisi only took a quick glance before quickly averting her gaze.

The strange thought that had just risen was immediately dismissed.

Master Lynn is the lord of this territory, someone far beyond her reach.

Unless, Master Lynn initiates...

...

The next morning.

After enjoying a nutritious breakfast of prepared chicken and eggs.

Lynn, accompanied by Red, left the castle.

Acknowledged by the gazes of the town’s residents, they passed through one red brick house after another. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Lynn arrived at the Lord’s Square.

His gaze turned, surveying the surroundings.

At this moment, the Lord’s Square was filled with numerous figures.

It could even be described as densely packed!

At the front, a group of peasants held clay bowls filled with porridge in their left hands, and several pieces of barley bread in their right.

Even though it was simple food.

Every bite they took, and every chew and swallow, their faces were filled with satisfaction and joy.

One must know, these were only the lowest peasants.

Their status was even lower than the livestock used by manor lords to transport goods or plow fields!

Some peasants had never had a full meal in their entire life.

However, upon coming here.

They ate barley meat porridge and even fresh, clean barley bread!

Even though last night, Lynn had informed Kuisi to notify the kitchen to prepare food for six thousand people.

But the kitchen’s chefs and assistants were ultimately limited.

And the size of the kitchen was only so large.

It wasn’t possible to accommodate all the peasants and townsmen at once for a meal.

But, Lynn wasn’t worried.

Facing problems as they arise, it’s never too late to solve them.

The kitchen needs to be expanded.

More chefs and assistants with [Cooking] skills need to be assigned to cook for the townsmen.

The townsmen returning to the town kitchen for meals must be organized in batches.

Only then can the congested and chaotic dining situation be completely resolved.

Watching these peasant captives waiting for their meals.

Lynn didn’t rush.

He took a seat on a nearby long bench, quietly waiting.

Shortly after.

Wesley approached Lynn with large strides.

He bent slightly, his words filled with respect, "Master, all the population and items have been tallied."

Lynn looked at Wesley, waiting for his report.

Wesley continued.

"Peasants, maids, Free People, and captives, the total number adds up to six thousand two hundred people!"

"Among them, there are over four thousand men and about two thousand women."

Lynn nodded.

The more men there were, the stronger the labor force in the territory!

Especially for some heavy physical work!

"In terms of grains, barley is estimated at one million two hundred thousand pounds, wheat at five hundred thousand pounds, and oats at one hundred eighty thousand pounds."

"For beans, peas are at five hundred thousand pounds, and lentils at two hundred thousand pounds."

"In the category of vegetables, turnips are at thirty thousand pounds, cabbages at eight thousand pounds, and carrots at thirty thousand pounds."

"All types of meat combined, at least amount to thirty thousand pounds!"

Hearing this, Lynn’s eyebrows instantly raised.

Leaving aside other meats and vegetables.

Just the stored grains alone in the three estates, one million two hundred thousand pounds of barley, and over five hundred thousand pounds of wheat.

That alone would feed his territory’s five thousand five hundred people for a month or two!

Wesley’s report continued.

"Apart from these, there’s a large number of poultry and livestock!"

"Twenty adult dairy cows, over forty calves, and three hundred mature oxen."

"A total of six hundred sixty draft horses, two hundred forty pigs, one hundred ten sheep, and three hundred sixty chickens!"

"All the poultry and livestock were transported to Guy’s ranch last night."

"The three hundred fifty horses brought back from the battlefield were also handed over to Guy."

"There are also over twenty thousand yards of linen cloth, over thirty thousand pounds of linen and wool..."

Hearing this, Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

Even though three hundred fifty horses don’t compare to the Badan Empire’s warhorses, which could charge and accelerate even with soldiers in heavy armor.

These horses can still serve as mounts for the light cavalry.

The more dairy cows, the more milk is produced!

Not only can it be used to make some dairy products.

If there’s enough, it can also provide nutrition for pregnant women and children.

Pigs can produce meat and leather.

Sheep produce wool and milk every year.

The draft horses can significantly improve the territory’s already underdeveloped animal-powered transportation!

It can be said.

This military aid mission, with the poultry and livestock brought back, has significantly elevated the breeding level on the ranch!

Even speeding up the ranch by a whole year!

Such a scale.

Perhaps it would have taken Guy’s led ranch, after a round of breeding, to achieve!

Perhaps Wesley noticed the change in his expression.

His voice became more exuberant.

"Over three thousand iron tools and farm equipment, with over nine hundred long swords and scimitars collected from the battlefield."

"And the horses brought back from the battlefield."

Lynn acknowledged this.

These iron goods, while not much to someone with an iron mine,

The near four thousand iron items.

If smelted in a furnace to remove impurities.

Would at least yield three to four thousand pounds of iron!

Which is not a small amount!

This could allow the Blacksmith Workshop to produce fifty sets of Iron Butcher Heavy Armor or vests.

Wesley continued without pausing in his report.

"Master, besides these ordinary items."

"A large amount of gold, silver, jewels, silk, and satin was also collected from the warehouses of the Three Great Estates!"
