Chapter 661: Chapter 236: Usurpation (10,000 Words) (Part 4)

Even though he didn’t know what it meant.

But—what a domineering name!

Lynn replied, "Since it’s left to the blacksmith apprentice for forging, you should be idle."

"There is an important task before you that needs to be done."

Clive hurriedly responded.

"Lord, please instruct!"

Lynn continued, "Do you see the weeds being cleared from the wasteland ahead?"

"I need to build at least three thousand red brick houses on this land!"

"The style of the red brick houses should be like those behind me, two bedrooms and one living room, with an area of thirty square meters!"

Listening to Lynn’s words, Clive’s face tightened.

To construct three thousand red brick houses on a wasteland of weeds, each house requiring two bedrooms and one living room with thirty square meters.

It is indeed a major project!

Clive slightly recalled in his mind, finally stating bluntly.

"Lord, such a large number of red brick houses will take a considerable amount of time to build."

"If I fully dedicate myself to the construction of this residential area, it will surely affect the ’Iron Butcher’ forging and production you mentioned."

Lynn nodded and said, "I am aware of that."

"I’ve called you over just to have you make a simple division of this residential area."

Upon hearing this, Clive felt a slight relief.

Lynn continued, "I need you to lead a team of peasants and use lime to determine the exact location of each red brick house on the cleaned wasteland."

"There should be public facilities like wells for townsmen’s drinking water, public baths, toilets."

"There should be red brick roads left between houses for carts to pass and main roads in the residential area."

Clive nodded, "No problem, Lord."

These facilities were familiar as he had seen many in already constructed residential areas.

After instructing Clive on what the residential area required.

Lynn let him go to the wasteland site for exploration. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Public baths and toilets are relatively easy to construct.

But the most challenging is the well.

It requires not only digging but also detecting a water source.

Looking ahead, at the silhouettes busily bending over.

Lynn also understood.

Building at least three thousand red brick houses and putting them into use for peasants’ lives wasn’t easy.

Too many in number, too large in scale!

Even without considering the roads between red brick houses and public facilities.

The area covered by three thousand red brick houses alone reached ninety thousand square meters!

Nearly one hundred forty acres!

He had also considered building these red brick houses as two-story structures.

But thinking of wooden framed houses, prone to collapse, he ultimately abandoned the idea.

Despite the major project of expanding the red brick house residential area.

He could only arrange for these peasants to undertake the construction.

To improve their loyalty, naturally, he needs to provide a safe and stable living environment.

The fortunate side is.

The previous red brick kiln never stopped producing red bricks.

Until now.

A large quantity of red bricks has been piled up, ready for constructing red brick houses.

With previous division of labor, it almost doesn’t require him much management.

Under the supervision of guards and soldiers, the peasants keep swinging their farming tools tirelessly.

Looking at the cleared wasteland.

The peasants responsible for digging foundations raised their iron hoes and cross pickaxes, and began digging.

Lynn rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the wasteland ahead.

In the astonished gazes of the peasants, he took a cross pickaxe from one of them.

Raised it high, reaching its highest controllable point.

Using the strength of his body and waist,.

With both hands, the cross pickaxe drew an arc mid-air, heavily striking the soil.

Crack~

The sound of digging into stone and breaking fragments echoed.

As Lynn exerted his right arm, pushing forward with his left hand.

A large chunk of soil was flipped out by the flat shovel of the cross pickaxe.

Seeing this spectacle, the peasants’ faces remained full of astonishment.

Their lord wielding a cross pickaxe, his posture and actions in digging soil were even more standard and skillful than theirs!

Lynn ignored the gazes of the peasants, raised the cross pickaxe again, and continued digging.

As he kept digging, a bit by bit construction experience rapidly increased.

[Construction Experience +1]

[Construction Experience +1]

...

Perhaps due to a previous light rain.

The wasteland’s topsoil remained relatively loose.

Indeed making digging foundations slightly easier.

Seeing Lynn’s determined swings with the cross pickaxe, the peasants were filled with vigor.

The lord himself was laboring for their red brick houses.

How could they afford to slack off during digging?

Under Lynn’s leadership.

The peasants similarly swung their iron hoes and cross pickaxes.

Following the foundation marks drawn by Clive with lime powder, they started digging.

From initially uncleaned weed wasteland.

Everyone joined together in clearing the weed wasteland.

Upon clearing a vast area, thousands of peasants were divided into two groups.

Women continued clearing, men dug foundations.

Once a large area of foundational digging was complete, the men’s group was further divided.

Eight hundred peasants continued digging foundations.

The remaining peasants started leveling the foundation surfaces and laying gravel...

Even though many peasants hadn’t yet reached that stage of division.
