System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 119: Sussex Chicken (3K)


Seventy kilns, still working day and night, drying out most of the moisture from the raw bricks, and then firing them.

After cooling, they are transported by ox cart and horse cart to contribute to the construction of the Red Brick Factory and the pasture.

Although Lynn currently really needs the pasture and the Red Brick Factory, he understands that such a large project cannot be completed overnight.

Just like when building the city walls.

Fortunately.

Lynn came to the Blacksmith Shop, walking inside, inspecting around.

Currently in the Blacksmith Shop, aside from the newly joined blacksmith apprentices forging farming tools as preliminary learning and initiation.

Other more skilled blacksmith apprentices are still crafting round shields and iron spears.

Ehrelo and Red are following closely behind him, waiting for instructions.

After making a round.

Lynn called out, "Ehrelo."

Ehrelo behind him immediately stepped forward two steps, coming to Lynn's rear right side.

"Master Lynn, I am here."

Lynn asked, "If I want your Blacksmith Shop to start forging standard plate armor, do you think you can achieve it?"

Listening to Master Lynn's words, Ehrelo's face showed a slight surprise.

Does Master Lynn want to start making plate armor?

Standard plate armor?

Not only Ehrelo, but Red's face also held a trace of mild astonishment.

Soon.

Their expressions quickly returned to normal.

Having an inexhaustible supply of high-calorie anthracite and a large amount of low-impurity iron ore.

If not used for forging weapons and making plate armor, then what is it for?

Ehrelo said, full of shame, "Master Lynn, we might not manage it... Not just us, probably no one in the entire territory can make standard plate armor!"

Lynn gave a slight nod, unconcerned.

Even though Ehrelo has Level 3 [Forging], he has always been just an ordinary farming tool forging blacksmith.

At most, he can make some simple standard weapons.

Asking him to make standard plate armor is truly challenging him.

For making standard plate armor, the most important part is naturally the raw materials.

These, Lynn does not lack.

Next is the design and production model for the standard plate armor.

Including the size data for height, chest circumference, waist circumference, arm length, leg length, and other key parts.

Because only by collecting these data can molds be made in sand or metal for casting.

Thus making standard plate armor for common physiques!

But on second thought.

Lynn only needs to make a few types of body-standard plate armor.

He can completely use the plate armor standard to select different kinds of soldiers.

This is secondary.

The territory still lacks leather and linen cloth... for linking and assistive production of plate armor.

Although Lynn is a bit impatient now, he can only continue to wait.

Lynn continued, "I need you to make something that can standard-produce raw bricks."

Ehrelo raised an eyebrow...

After giving instructions, Lynn left the Blacksmith Shop and headed straight for the village's open kitchen.

Under the astonished gazes of dozens of chefs, he began cooking.

Lynn picked up a bone-cutting knife with his right hand, chopped fiercely on the cutting board's pig bones.

The power was immense, and the bone-cutting knife was sharp.

Instantly severed the arm-thick pig hoof bone.

Not only that.

The bone-cutting knife even sank into the cutting board by seven or eight centimeters!

After using the Energy Stone for enhancement, Lynn clearly felt his physical power increase greatly.

He chopped all the remaining ten-something kilograms of pig bone, poured it into a two-meter diameter pottery pot.

Continued wielding the knife, chopped some carrots finely, and poured them in together.

Lynn then poured barley from the bag, added a large amount of well water...

Finally, covered the pot with a lid, leaving it to cook with the red-hot anthracite below the pottery pot.

[Cooking Experience +1]

[Cooking Experience +1]

[Cooking Experience +1]

...

Lynn did not stop, repeating the operation, continuing cooking the next pot of barley and pig bone porridge.

Expression serious, technique skilled, speed fast...

The village women who had cooked meals for decades were full of shock on their faces.

They even started to doubt if their eyes were mistaken.

The Master Lynn, who controls over two thousand people, unexpectedly came to the kitchen, actually assisting in cooking meals.

However.

They were merely stunned for a moment.

With Master Lynn being so considerate of the servants, how could they possibly just stand aside waiting?

Knowing that the village's open kitchen must prepare food for at least two thousand people every meal!

Moreover, it could only be excessive, not deficient.

Of course, this was specifically instructed by Master Lynn here.

If there's excess, the spoiled food can be fed to cattle, horses, and pigs.

If insufficient, villagers will have a rebellious attitude, affecting future labor.

If it's always like this, phenomena of food snatching will occur.

Gains do not outweigh the losses.

...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the open kitchen, Lynn is still busy cooking dinner.

A sound of galloping hooves, from afar to near, eventually stopped not far from the kitchen.

Lynn looked over, seeing Guy gasping for breath, striding forward.

Guy swallowed, tried to make his voice as calm as possible.

"Master Lynn... The pasture... The pasture construction is completed!"

Despite this.

Guy's words were still a bit intermittent.

Lynn responded, "Then let's take a look!"

With [Real-time Projection], even if Lynn spends every day in the kitchen cooking, he can know the development progress in the territory.

After Red led a horse over, Lynn mounted up, clamped the horse's sides with his legs, heading towards outside the village.

Amidst the sound of hooves, a rough outline of a ranch appeared in the distance.

Dozens of large sheds built with red bricks were neatly arranged.

In front of the sheds was a wide and flat open space.

After several days of cleaning by the villagers, the open space was clear of weeds, roots, and stones.

Sections were made using logs and wooden boards for specific functionalities.

Different sections could serve various purposes.

Such as free grazing, activities, or training and domesticating warhorses, among others.

Looking at the [Holographic Map], Lynn noted that the ranch covered nearly a thousand acres!

Roughly equivalent to ninety football fields in size.

Roughly estimating, if only breeding horses, it could accommodate at least 1,500 horses!

1,500 horses may not sound like much.

However, there was still a large stretch of wasteland far from the ranch.

If Lynn wished, he could completely clear the wasteland to supplement the ranch grounds.

The current size of the ranch was merely the limit of the labor force Lynn had, not the limit of the wasteland!

Riding a horse, Lynn surveyed the ranch.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

Guy was indeed an excellent breeder.

Even matters he hadn't specifically instructed, Guy handled excellently.

For example.

If it rained, the evident pits on the ranch would undoubtedly gather water…

After finishing his inspection, Lynn looked at Guy and commended, "Very well done."

"From now on, you will be in charge of this ranch. I'll assign enough helpers to you."

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Guy quickly bowed, "Yes, Master Lynn."

Continuing, Lynn said, "It shouldn't be long before the first batch of poultry arrives. Prepare yourself."

Guy's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Yes, Master Lynn."

Lynn left the ranch and headed to the Red Brick Factory.

Three hundred villagers were busy transporting continuously at the Red Brick Factory.

The Red Brick Factory was already in the finishing stages.

The burning area of the entire factory, the clay material and fuel storage area, and the workers' living quarters covered nearly fifty acres.

The Red Brick Factory had ten production lines and ten kilns!

Each kiln's internal space was approximately sixty cubic meters.

Based on the previous red brick standard, one kiln could produce around 36,000 red bricks at a time!

This means, with a full operation of the kiln, 360,000 red bricks could be obtained in five days.

This number is more than five times that of seventy earthen kilns used for red brick firing.

In at most two days, the entire red brick firing factory could be put into production.

The villagers involved in construction will become workers in the red brick firing factory.

Because they are the villagers most familiar with the red brick firing factory!

When Lynn returned to the village from the Red Brick Factory, night had already fallen.

For the next two days.

Lynn immersed himself in the open kitchen.

Working bit by bit on [Cooking] Skills' experience.

Until two days later, the Red Brick Firing Factory was completed!

The large-scale firing of red bricks began!

Not only that.

In the brick drying area, rows of stacked bricks were drying under the sun.

Two hundred villagers were using grid-shaped iron products made by the Blacksmith Shop to produce standard bricks.

In the clay storage area, carts of clay were being excavated and piled on the open ground.

Villagers were driving horse-drawn carts, periodically transporting clay to the storage area.

Now that the Red Brick Factory was completed, Lynn had combined the three hundred villagers outside the village with the three hundred villagers who built the Red Brick Firing Factory.

These six hundred villagers would now live and work in the Red Brick Factory, residing in shared dormitories, four to a room.

Focusing their efforts on firing red bricks!

Watching the busy figures, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

Once the Red Brick Factory fires several batches, the territory can begin reconstruction and renovation.

As Lynn was filled with anticipation.

A guard came to Lynn's back and reported, "Master Lynn, Lord George requests your presence in the village."

Glancing at the guard, Lynn activated the [Holographic Map].

In the village's open space.

George stood opposite a man.

This man was Boer, the one who exchanged linen with Lynn!

To Lynn's surprise, even Alan hadn't located domestic poultry yet.

But Boer, a local merchant, had found them first!

Behind Boer were eight horse-drawn wagons.

On the wagons, wooden chicken coops with layers were secured.

Inside the coops were sturdy domestic chickens.

Each coop had six layers, with at least twenty to thirty chickens per layer.

Estimating roughly, there were at least 1,000 domestic chickens!

Responding, Lynn left Colin in charge and, as Red brought the horse, mounted and headed towards the village.

Soon.

Lynn returned to the village.

Upon sight, George quickly approached and helped Lynn hold the reins.

Seeing Lynn, Boer took two steps forward and slightly bowed.

"Master Lynn."

Acknowledging with a nod, Lynn's gaze shifted to the chicken coops on the wagon.

[Golden Chicken]: One of the oldest chicken breeds, with a decent egg production, smaller eggs, easy to fatten, a dual-purpose breed for meat and eggs.

[Sussex Chicken]: Known for its tender meat, fast growth, good fattening effect, and good egg production,

[Rose Crowned Bantam Chicken]…

Seeing the descriptions in front of him, Lynn felt slightly satisfied.

Even though the chickens seemed a bit low-spirited now, there were no signs of avian flu or such diseases.

If just one bird were affected, the entire flock would be doomed!

Boer stood quietly, waiting.

However, from the subtle changes in Lynn's expression, he could tell that this transaction and exchange would go off without a hitch!
