Chapter 1239: Chapter 332: Disrespecting the God (10,000)_6
And a large amount of lumber, all kinds of tools, food consumption, and so on!
Nonetheless.
Lynn was still determined to build the red brick road from the territory to Morgan Town and the Manor Castle!
Only in this way.
Could Lynn solidly govern Morgan Town!
Regarding the various expenses needed to construct the red brick road, Lynn was already prepared.
In terms of labor force.
In Morgan Town, even after selecting 5,600 garrison soldiers from 13,000 people.
There were still 7,400 laborers available.
Even if Lynn left 1,200 people for Gavin to lead them in digging and constructing irrigation channels in Morgan Town.
The remaining 6,200 laborers, combined with Avery’s current team of 800 construction workers.
There were 7,000 laborers available for paving and constructing the red brick road.
Once Rose returns to the territory after attacking and subduing Alba Town,
the number of guards and peasants from both manors would be at least 2,000, even 3,000.
Adding up the number of laborers, it would reach 10,000!
Even if Lynn recruited 1,000 from the 10,000 for military expansion.
The remaining 9,000 for the construction of the red brick road would be more than enough.
In terms of raw materials.
Paving 150 miles of red brick road requires a certain number of red bricks...
Lynn estimated in his mind the rough size of a brick as 20cm×10cm.
About fifty red bricks are needed per square meter!
Paving 150 miles of red brick road roughly requires 11.2 million red bricks!
If you include wastage and other factors.
The number of red bricks required will only increase!
Lynn’s territory already has a large red brick factory.
To fire so many red bricks is not really a difficult task.
Because.
The fuel for firing red bricks, Lynn has it, and is excavating the open-pit coal mine.
The raw materials for making red bricks, Lynn has the entire Aladia River, the riverbanks full of clay suitable for firing red bricks.
The skilled craftsmen for making red bricks, Lynn also has them.
The workers in the large red brick factory have never been removed or reassigned by Lynn.
Continuous labor for more than half a year.
They have long acquired proficient firing experience and skills.
The various metal tools required for building and paving the red brick road...
Once the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace is completed and high-quality steel is produced, making steel tools.
It will only further increase the efficiency of road construction.
As for the food consumption during road construction, Lynn is even less worried.
The winter barley planted last winter has already yielded a harvest.
After several external wars, nearly ten million pounds of grain had been confiscated and plundered back!
In the short term.
Lynn does not need to worry about the territory facing a shortage of food.
Standing before Lynn was Avery, without any hesitation, responded.
"Avery obeys your command."
"Will surely not disappoint the Lord’s trust!"
Lynn nodded in satisfaction, speaking.
"Very good!"
"From today, first conduct a survey for the best direction to pave the road."
"If you encounter difficulties in paving through the mountains and forests, you can directly cut through the forest, and pass through it."
"If you need my assistance during the process, you can find me directly, or inform Steward Kuisi, who will report to me."
Avery responded again.
"Lord, Avery understands!"
Lynn said: "Then you may withdraw."
Avery retreated and left the reception hall.
Watching Avery’s back disappear down the stairs, Lynn withdrew his gaze.
Lynn had also considered temporarily not building the red brick road.
To put Avery and a group of construction workers into the construction of the Outer City of the territory.
After careful consideration in Lynn’s mind.
In the end, he still felt that paving the red brick road between the territory and Morgan Town was more important.
Sitting on the lord’s throne, resting for a while.
Lynn, accompanied by Red, left the castle.
Walking along the red brick roads, passing through red brick houses.
Lynn once again arrived at the Lord’s Square.
However.
Lynn did not stop his steps, but headed towards the large farmland outside the town.
Walking on the lime road between the farmland, Lynn’s gaze scanned ahead.
One team of farmers was driving and mastering cows, pulling wheel plows, and plowing.
Behind the plowing teams were farmers using iron hoes and iron rakes, responsible for breaking up and leveling the overturned soil.
Further behind.
Were teams responsible for fertilizing and planting.
Clearly.
Even without Lynn in the territory.
Wilbur could methodically assign laboring teams for the farmers, conducting some plowing and planting labor.
While Lynn was gazing into the distance.
Wilbur ran out from the farmland, striding towards Lynn.
Standing before Lynn, Wilbur, slightly panting, said.
"Master."
Lynn replied and asked Wilbur.
"How is the progress of plowing and planting?"
Wilbur lowered his head slightly, explaining.
"Master, everything is proceeding according to your instructions."
"The farmers are re-cultivating the land that has been harvested for barley."
"During the re-cultivation, farmers follow behind the wheel plow and plant peas and black rye grass."
"It can accelerate the efficiency of planting to a certain extent."
"After finishing the planting of peas and black rye grass, the farmers will be engaged in clearing the weed-infested wasteland in the territory."
Listening to Wilbur’s explanation, Lynn nodded.
The current territory had only 100,000 acres of cultivated land.
There were still at least 200,000 acres of weed-infested wasteland.
Awaiting the farmers to clear weeds, branches, stones, and cultivate it into arable land.
Lynn nodded and said, "Well done."
Upon hearing Lynn’s praise, a smile appeared on Wilbur’s face.
"Master, you overpraise me."
"Gavin went to Morgan Town, yet you entrusted Wilbur to be the manager of farmers, which is your trust in me."
"Wilbur must strive wholeheartedly to repay your trust, master."
Lynn approvingly glanced at Wilbur.
Perhaps compared to Gavin, Wilbur was not as mature and steady.
However, with Wilbur’s loyalty and determination, along with his eagerness to learn.
He was fully capable of managing the territory’s farmland and farmers!
Lynn spoke: "Wilbur Locke, from this moment, you are the Agricultural Officer of my territory!"
"Responsible for supervising and managing agricultural production and daily operations in the territory."
"Including labor allocation, resource management, production supervision, and execution of farming plans, etc.!"
"In simple terms, you will become one of the core managers of agricultural production in the territory!"
"Also my agent in agricultural production!"
