System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 246: Chapter 163: A World Where Might Makes Right

After arranging the fishery workshops and fishing industry, Lynn’s gaze turned to Colin not far away.

Despite having prior experience in skiff boat production and conducting a launch experiment in advance,

Colin was still worried about deploying the skiff boats for actual fishing operations. He came to the pier to witness the fishing boats in action firsthand.

Fortunately, all eight skiff boats successfully completed a round of fishing operations and returned fully laden without any mishaps.

Colin sighed with relief.

It’s important to know, Master Lynn is watching closely!

If there were any accidents, it would be embarrassing.

Colin’s gaze shifted and he immediately felt Lynn’s eyes on him.

Without hesitation, Colin jogged over from the shipyard.

Approaching Lynn, Colin bent slightly at the waist and respectfully said, ”Master.”

Lynn responded, ”Colin, now the shipyard is completed, but...”

Without the slightest reluctance, Colin quickly said, ”Master Lynn, please feel free to instruct me. The entire woodworker workshop doesn’t have much to do right now.”

The five hundred sets of tables and chairs ordered by Master Lynn were all completed yesterday.

As it stands.

The woodworker workshop has entered a period of instructing apprentices in downtime.

Lynn spoke with satisfaction, ”I need you to take your apprentices to construct a hospital!”

Hearing Lynn’s words, Colin’s face showed a slight disbelief.

A hospital?

Master Lynn wants to build his hospital on this land?

This... is too wonderful!

His emotions even began to stir.

Colin widened his eyes at Lynn and couldn’t help but ask, ”Master, if the hospital is established... can it treat heat illnesses?”

Seeing Colin’s suddenly emotional eyes, Lynn nodded in confusion, ”If it’s a fever, it should be treatable.”

A relaxed smile appeared on Colin’s face, ”That’s good, that’s good.”

Sensing Lynn’s puzzled expression, Colin began to explain.

”Sorry, Master, my mother... she died because she couldn’t get treated for a heat illness...”

”I sent her to the town’s church, pleading for treatment from the church doctor, but... their treatment fees were outrageously high...”

”I barely managed to scrape together the treatment cost and paid them, but the doctor said they couldn’t treat this heat illness.”

”And the paid treatment fee wouldn’t be refunded...”

Saying this.

Colin’s expression became somewhat distracted, and his voice choked up.

”In the end, I could only bring my mother home, unable to get treatment... only to wait for her slow demise...”

Lynn said nothing, continuing to listen.

”After a few days, my mother passed away.”

”Because I couldn’t repay the borrowed treatment fees, I had to sell myself to the manor lord...”

Upon hearing this.

Lynn nodded, ”Rest assured, once the hospital is established, heat illnesses will be effectively treated!”

Colin quickly responded, ”Yes, Master.”

Lynn continued, ”You just need to lead them to build the hospital’s main structure; don’t worry about anything else.”

Without any hesitation, Colin said, ”Yes, Master Lynn, I’ll go arrange personnel now.”

”A hospital is good, having a hospital is good!”

Colin even forgot to bid farewell to Lynn, quickly heading towards the town.

Clearly.

Because of his mother’s situation, the usually calm and experienced Colin was somewhat out of sorts.

However, Lynn didn’t mind at all.

Lynn stood at the pier watching the townsmen unload fish from the nets and couldn’t help saying, ”Hurry up and sort the fish, send them to the kitchen. We’ll have fish for lunch!”

Dozens of townsmen quickly answered, ”Yes, Master.”

Lynn smiled satisfactorily and turned to head back toward the town.

As he walked.

Lynn began planning and pondering in his mind.

Now, the town’s total population has reached 5,600!

Among them, the armed forces include 200 guards and 500 soldiers within the territory.

In the workshops, Lex’s brewing workshop employs 50 people, Ehrelo’s blacksmith workshop 400 people, Colin’s woodworker workshop 200 people, Jose’s bow and arrow workshop 200 people, and Yimini’s textile workshop 200 people.

On the farmland, Gavin and Wilbur lead 200 people taking care of the fields.

In the kitchen, 50 chefs are accompanied by 50 assistants.

At the three major mines, besides the open-pit salt mine employing 500 people, both the open-pit iron mine and coal mine employ 400 people, totaling 1,300 people.

At the three salt factories, a total workforce of 1,000 is invested.

In schools, 150 students are taught by scholar Tate.

In the business hall, George leads 20 assistants.

The newly established shipyard and fishery workshop employ a total of 100.

The remaining 1,000 or so people have all been put into construction across various major buildings in the territory.

The main castle, dormitory areas of the three major mines, soldiers’ dormitories, etc.

With the current limited construction techniques, accelerating the building progress requires a large workforce for speed increase!

Workshops have their foremen, fields have Gavin and Wilbur, guards are led by Red, soldiers by Rose.

The territory steward is Kuisi.

Ultimately all matters are reported by Kuisi to him for handling.

One layer managing another, strict and orderly, well-organized.

After sorting through all the labor forces in the territory, Lynn felt an inexplicable comfort.

This is how a territory should be managed.
