Now, since the wildmen have become part of Frost Leaf Town, the fertile land shouldn’t be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at Otto, \"This is the location of the new fields I mentioned. Make the arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go with you to arrange the field locations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord!\" Otto promptly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the agriculture department arranged, Luo De looked at Xue Rui,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need manpower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not necessary for foundation digging; too many people cause chaos, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rui replied: \"You can assign teams for stone extraction and clay digging, prepare the materials we’ll need in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s arrange it that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded and instructed: \"Bai Shuang and Waller, you’re responsible for selecting wildmen for appropriate jobs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Luo De looked at Tyr, Hammer, and Waller,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can lead your wildmen to select suitable apprentices among the newcomers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Saint Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Durant, Lawrence, and Waller stay behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De directed: \"Everyone else may leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stood, bowed to Luo De, and then exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the others left, Luo De looked at the remaining four and said: \"There’s one more crucial task; I want to mine silver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silver mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally listless, Lawrence suddenly widened his eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean, there’s a silver mine in Black Pine Ridge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they can’t mint currency, silver coins can circulate like money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mining silver, and smelting it, is practically equivalent to minting money, a very direct wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, with silver, we can directly import resources from outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the population booming, Luo De no longer felt timid, planning for the future is imperative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant, knowing of the silver mine’s existence, was naturally unsurprised,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Baron, before mining the silver mine, I think we should first expand the military.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant voluntarily said: \"Among so many wildmen, there must be some with good aptitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among those wildmen, I see many robust figures; even if they don’t become knights, they can be excellent soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, select from the wildmen army first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled at Durant, \"Mining the silver mine won’t start immediately; we must prepare in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, inform Jess to bring back some experienced miners from Black Stone Stronghold and supplement with double the wildmen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other laborers and porters should also be identified, preferably entire families may relocate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De instructed: \"Waller and Lawrence, you both handle this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both responded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at Durant, \"The Guard Team will need you to arrange it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant smiled, \"You’ve let me pick anyone; the Guard Team will not disappoint you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re starting to get mischievous, my Great Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De patted Durant’s shoulder jokingly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone, go ahead, you won’t be staying for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De dismissed everyone, stood up, and led Vivian straight to the Blacksmith Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De instructed Hammer to arrange for the forging of picks, chisels, and crowbars for mining, then returned to his forge to craft new Sea Pattern Magic Steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was specifically forged for Vivian, with energy infusion naturally done by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Pattern Magic Steel infused with Shadow Energy was different, with very blurred patterns, looking like a piece of black iron without close inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was matte black, devoid of any metallic sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked more like a piece of charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it retained a strong metallic feel when hammered, remaining very hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was being forged for herself, Vivian stayed fully attentive, watching closely during Luo De’s forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De feared his hammer might miss, accidentally cracking her skull, so he frequently reminded her to stay back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Embroidery Needle\" required very little Magic Pattern Steel, so Luo De planned to forge a dagger and some throwing darts for Vivian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I could design a hand crossbow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the darts made Luo De also consider the bow and crossbow, these simple mechanical weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Luo De could think further, Hammer and Waller assembled the punching machine.\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f2c20f90d5ac27eb155aa98c5b0d27c0326ca5ed400984aeaed238782d78087","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-303","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-301",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
