Guy’s planned shelters are quite conventional long-strip, single-room structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means one cow or horse occupies one single room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cows and horses have different habits, and mixing them can easily cause conflict, resulting in injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, different single rooms vary in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means Guy has divided spaces differently according to the differing habits of poultry...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such construction might consume a lot of red bricks, wood, and land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... what Lynn lacks the least are these resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his left hand picking up a red brick and his right hand the trowel, scooping out a bit of lime sand from a wooden bucket, Lynn began plastering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the surprised gaze of several stonemasons, Lynn skillfully placed the red bricks, gently tapping them with the trowel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, tap and adhere the bricks together, increasing stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing some stonemasons stop, Guy sternly said, \"Why are you standing around? Don’t you want lunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those stonemasons quickly returned to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the stonemasons’ surprise, Guy was already accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early arrivals in the village all knew that Master Lynn always liked to work with his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one reason why they admire Master Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time gradually passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spent the entire day constructing walls on the ranch, gaining dozens of experience points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn rode the horse, returning to the village with the dozens of villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn and Colin’s group are standing by the Acadia River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the river\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty completed skiffs have been launched for waterproof testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men per skiff, sitting at the front and back on the skiff, steering across the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour has passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no one has reported seepage or leakage on the skiffs; Colin’s tense face slightly eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Lynn and said, \"Master Lynn, the skiffs can be put into use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded with satisfaction, \"Well done, the past three days have been hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuisi, send fifty pounds of pork over to Colin and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi smiled, \"Yes, Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin did not refuse and gratefully said, \"Thank you, Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apprentices at the carpenter’s shop were nervously rowing the sampan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing Master Lynn’s words, they rowed even faster...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn continued, \"The sampan is built, but I also need you to construct a dock here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin was not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sampan built, Master Lynn naturally needed a corresponding dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn said, \"It’s to transport the iron ore from the sampan to the village, preferably constructed of stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin began to contemplate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he said firmly, \"No problem, Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded, \"I’ll assign you fifty more people, and you can tell them that as long as they graduate under you, I’ll reward them just like I do with the blacksmith shop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the uninformed carpenter apprentices curiously looked at their Master Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn continued, \"A reward of one Gold Pound per person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of apprentices widened their eyes instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the current members of the carpentry shop, there are now already eighty people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this, of course, is that Lynn is planning for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by having a large number of carpenters can a large-scale production line form, producing various standard arrows or catapults...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the construction of a dock is stonemason’s work, Lynn could not find anyone more capable than Colin right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Colin had to take on both roles of carpenter and stonemason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin’s eyes lit up visibly, \"No problem, Master Lynn, I’ll get the dock built as soon as possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lynn acknowledged this, he left the dock and headed towards the brick-making site outside the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three days, Ehrelo had completed the production of the cross pickaxes and other iron tools he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage to the open-pit iron mine had been cleared; it only needed a lime road laid and hardened for passage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lynn needed to do now was to gather the villagers and head to the open-pit iron mine to start mining iron ore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn led a massive entourage of four hundred people out of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking on the lime road, they formed a long line, heading deep into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held various iron tools in their hands; the open-pit iron mine was the battlefield where they would work in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their living supplies, they could be transported upstream using the sampan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn also considered using the sampan to transport these villagers upstream of the Acadia River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking that a sampan could only carry two thousand pounds, and with one villager weighing a hundred pounds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At full load, it couldn’t possibly go upstream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if anything went wrong, a whole boatload of people would sink into the Acadia River...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss would be too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn decided to give up on the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed the wasteland, passed through the forest, and traveled forty miles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting off early in the morning, it wasn’t until midday that the team led by Lynn arrived at the open-pit mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty villagers rowing the sampan had already arrived in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this vast group, Garcia and the dozens of people sent earlier by Lynn to chop wood were filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Master Lynn had given him thirty men, it still felt eerie and desolate in the otherwise quiet forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was due to the lack of human presence, causing psychological unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garcia promptly came to Lynn, respectfully saying, \"Master Lynn, as per your instructions, we have already cleared the passage from the open-pit iron mine to the Acadia River.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded and said, \"Nicely done, but your task is not over yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With four hundred villagers arriving, Lynn did not immediately throw them into iron ore excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enable high-efficiency work, the first priority was settling their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constantly worrying about meals and where to sleep, they wouldn’t be able to focus on mining iron ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than three days, they would develop a rebellious mindset!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn divided the four hundred people into four groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first group, fifty people, went to the Acadia River to transport the sampan’s supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second group, a hundred people, continued chopping timber, clearing an area beside the open-pit iron mine to build temporary shelters and kitchen facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third group, a hundred people, went to the open-pit iron mine, removing moss to clear the way for future excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth group, the remaining hundred and fifty people, were responsible for paving roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the road had been cleared by Garcia and the others, since this was a forested area,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the ground was covered with soft decomposed soil and dead leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even stepping on it felt sunken and loose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone carts filled with iron ore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paving roads was necessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assigning tasks to all the villagers, they quickly engaged in their respective work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn checked the loyalty of these villagers, and the vast majority had loyalty above 80%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bear in mind, these villagers had been in his territory for less than half a month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such high loyalty was naturally due to the territory’s stability and superior living conditions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn made them trek almost forty miles through the forest, and they did not complain at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone’s labor, the forest centered around the open-pit iron mine was being cleared bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open area was becoming larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a clearing, dozens of villagers had already started building wooden houses and a kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen was the first priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With iron hammers, iron saws, and iron nails, it wasn’t necessary anymore to use mortise and tenon structures like Lynn had initially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mortise and tenon structure weren’t less stable than a house nailed together with iron nails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just too tedious and complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn walked among them, inspecting, with Red following closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lynn once again arrived at the open-pit iron mine, seeing the moss that had been scraped off like clothing, he couldn’t help but feel anticipation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1778,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b929f050d649fb65bcc63c30574089a812d6892371603b3128ef773b2fea4b2","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-114","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-112",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
