He could easily lay wooden tracks throughout the territory.

Making it possible for the hand-operated mine carts to reach all the mineral resources within the domain.

Alternatively.

Limestone roads could be laid across the forest, reaching the saltpeter caves and natural soda deposits.

Or perhaps.

All six thousand peasants could be handed over to Avery.

Let him lead these laborers to construct an Outer City outside the Inner City!

After all, the safety of the territory is paramount!

However.

Thinking it over, Lynn realized that wherever these peasants are allocated.

There’s no real issue.

It’s simply a matter of order and choice.

Building red brick houses is equally crucial.

Watching the construction site briefly, he already had a rough plan in mind.

In no more than seven days, these six thousand laborers could be freed up and redeployed across various industries!

Later, Lynn left the construction site.

Glancing at the sky, it was still only early afternoon.

Lynn walked with Red and a few others towards the Aladia River dock.

Following Lynn and Red’s guards were some familiar faces.

Lynn hardly needed to speak.

One or two alert guards had subtly stepped back to prepare fishing gear for Master Lynn.

Walking through a red brick road, as they approached the riverbank near the dock.

The guard, carrying chairs and bait, caught up just in time.

Lynn looked at the two with satisfaction and sat down unceremoniously on the wooden chair.

That’s more like it!

Every day busily gaining skill experience, organizing town folk for various tasks.

Lynn even felt he had never enjoyed himself properly!

After being a lord for so long, he finally felt the benefits a ’lord’ should have.

He took out a fishing rod from his backpack, hooked the bait, and cast it into the river.

With a ’ding’, the bait fell into the water.

Only a piece of cork remained floating on the river’s surface.

Watching the cork bobber, Lynn felt his somewhat restless heart gradually calm down.

Through fishing, one gains fish, energy stones, and skill books; that’s part of it.

Lynn enjoyed, more so, the serene atmosphere of fishing.

With the river breeze blowing by, a gentle coolness and comfort greeted him.

Flowing water, due to differing directions, caused tiny whirlpools on the river’s surface.

Leaves drifting by were instantly caught in them.

After a few spins, they flowed towards the distance.

Perhaps due to the rocks at the riverbank’s edge, occasional ’bubbling’ sounds of water arose.

While Lynn was fishing, time passed swiftly.

Until dusk fell. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Only then did Lynn satisfactorily pack away his fishing rod into his backpack.

Contently, he rose from the wooden chair and started returning to town with Red and the others.

In just an afternoon.

He had caught nine river fish!

Despite not catching fish weighing over ten pounds this time, he didn’t gain a new skill book.

But obtaining ninety energy stones was a decent haul!

As for the river fish caught, Lynn had already instructed the guards to take them back to the castle ahead of him.

This evening, the chef could make a pot of fresh fish soup!

Perhaps because he returned earlier.

Lynn didn’t see Kuisi setting the food on the dining table.

So.

He went to the open-air terrace and leaned back in the wooden chair.

Looking out, he admired the distant horizon, where the setting sun was slowly descending.

With a movement of the hand, he picked up the glass of gin poured by Red and took a small sip.

A sense of warmth spread instantly throughout his body.

Until the sun descended past the skyline, leaving only a golden hue illuminating the entire sky.

Lynn finally withdrew his gaze.

With a thought, he opened the resident information column to check.

After some filtering, detailed information outlines of residents appeared before Lynn’s eyes.

Since he wanted to choose two thousand people as dedicated farmers to take care of the farmland.

He naturally needed to select farmers with the planting skills!

Fortunately, with the ’filtering’ function, all it needed was a thought.

The detailed information outlines of town folk with planting skills.

Would automatically be sorted from high level to low level.

If he had to inquire and filter each townsman individually.

It would certainly take ten days or half a month.

Moreover.

It could easily lead to omissions, with townsmen slipping through the cracks.

After filtering for a while, Lynn quickly selected two thousand farmers.

Five or six even had Level 3 planting skills!

Though, he didn’t plan to summon these farmers right away.

Despite Gavin and Wilbur only having Level 2 planting skills.

They were more knowledgeable about the current farming techniques and planting methods within the territory.

After selecting farmers, Lynn’s thoughts continued to turn.

Proceeding to filter for townsmen with different skills.

Lynn discovered.

Of the six thousand peasants recruited.

And the batch of slaves sent by Grayson.

Only a few possessed Level 2 and Level 3 skills.

The skills they owned were merely ordinary farming and handicraft skills.

The notion of selecting management talents among them had to be temporarily abandoned.

After more than half an hour.

From the guest hall behind, Kuisi’s voice of reminder was heard.

"Master, dinner can be prepared."

Lynn closed the panel and glanced back.
