house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s relatively simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forging area is much more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It requires enough space to place the furnace, anvil, and various tools for forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnace must be built with a mixture of stone and clay, otherwise, it simply won’t withstand the high temperatures from the intense burning of charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To forge, the temperature of the iron blocks must reach at least eight hundred to a thousand degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the charcoal, Lynn doesn’t have to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth kiln used before to burn charcoal is still usable, and there are piles of arm-thick branches for building the wooden house, enough to burn charcoal for forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn held the Iron Saw in his right hand, constantly pulling it back and forth, cutting the Pine Wood log underfoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five burly men were also building according to Ehrelo’s requirements for the Blacksmith Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eleven laborers, it only took a day to finish constructing the two connected Blacksmith Shops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a day, the charcoal needed was burnt and ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basket after basket of charcoal was transported to the storage area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piece of high-quality iron was visibly turning red under the rising heat from the charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn and Ehrelo stood not far away, quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, Lynn could still feel the scorching heat coming from the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning, sweltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat uncontrollably surfaced from all over his body, flowing and spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the work a blacksmith must face every day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo moved his hand, using tongs to extract the glowing orange iron block from the furnace and placed it on the anvil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn gripped the Iron Hammer tightly in his hand and began to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forging Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forging Experience

also hammering the iron block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each hammer strike alternated perfectly with Lynn’s lifted Iron Hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After striking more than a dozen times, Master Lynn didn’t utter a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Ehrelo was that Master Lynn, being the Lord, was actually forging iron together with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s going to believe that if it’s said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spoke, \"The Wheel Plow consists of seven major components: the plowshare, plow blade, beam, handle, coulter, sole, and wheel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The plowshare, sharp and slightly curved, must be heated and tempered to increase its hardness and durability so it can penetrate the soil for plowing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The plow blade, a curved metal sheet behind the plowshare, pushes the turned soil to the side, forming a furrow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The beam connects the plowshare, plow blade, and harnesses livestock, serving as a crucial support component in the Heavy Plow’s structure...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The handle is used for grasping and controlling the Wheel Plow while the ox advances, allowing adjustments to direction and soil depth...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn explained the construction and forging of the Wheel Plow completely, while Ehrelo’s brows remained furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn approached a wooden wall and picked up a piece of charcoal to draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the plowshare, plow blade, beam to the handle, coulter... and finally the wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general outline of the Wheel Plow appeared on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo’s eyes shone brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were filled with disbelief, \"Master Lynn, is this the Wheel Plow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a blacksmith, Ehrelo had naturally crafted countless Light Plows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly state what parts a Light Plow needs and how to forge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Heavy Plow in front of him differed from the Light Plow by only one character, yet he had never imagined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even seeing just the shape outline of the Heavy Plow, Ehrelo could understand clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this Wheel Plow exists, imagine what it would mean for opening up wasteland!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stable and sharp, cleverly designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the wasteland is a battlefield, then this Wheel Plow is a killing machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Ehrelo couldn’t comprehend was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Master Lynn, the Lord, come to know about such a Heavy Plow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded, \"Yes, the Wheel Plow. I need to see ten of these Wheel Plows a month from now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Wheel Plow requires seventy to eighty pounds of iron, not to mention the plow frame and wheels...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of the entire Wheel Plow is nearly two hundred pounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact for land clearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo snapped back to reality, hurriedly speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten plows? Master Lynn, even if you executed me, I couldn’t achieve that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging ten such Wheel Plows, not to mention a month, even after summer plowing ends, it’s not feasible for one person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn said, \"I will assign ten apprentices to assist you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo shrugged helplessly, \"Master Lynn, even ten apprentices aren’t enough. Apprentices mean they know nothing, everything has to be taught from scratch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn calmly responded, \"A reward of One Gold Pound for each Heavy Plow crafted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo continued shaking his head, \"Even for One Gold Pound...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he abruptly paused, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo stared at Lynn, asking in amazement, \"Master Lynn, are you saying One Gold Pound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn gazed directly at Ehrelo, \"One Gold Pound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo’s breathing immediately became rapid, his face flushing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lynn, rest assured, even if I were to perish at the anvil, I would lead the apprentices to forge ten Wheel Plows!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging one Wheel Plow yields One Gold Pound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten plows mean Ten Gold Pounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrasting with his previous three pence per day... that’s wages over more than a decade of labor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded in satisfaction, looking at the ten burly men standing outside the Blacksmith Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Your next task is to be Ehrelo’s Blacksmith Apprentices. If you become qualified blacksmiths, each will be rewarded One Gold Pound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now not only Ehrelo was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten burly men soon to become apprentices were also filled with excitement, their faces flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Gold Pound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its temptation to them is immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More concretely, that’s twelve hundred pounds of barley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their flushed expressions, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they complete the task or become qualified blacksmiths, it would only cost him Twenty Gold Pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty Gold Pounds are equivalent to four thousand eight hundred pounds of rock salt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Lynn lacks everything except for rock salt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Heavy Plow forging tasks arranged, Lynn summoned Kuisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s now tillering season, requiring the wheat in the fields to be fertilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there are only a few acres of wheat, which one or two people can finish fertilizing in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn showed no slack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These few acres of wheat are akin to Lynn’s experimental field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If productivity increases and a bumper harvest is possible, it will indicate that Lynn’s improvements in planting methods are effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Wheel Plows are forged, more farmland can be opened for large-scale cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn arrived at the Open-pit Salt Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the villagers continuously excavating rock salt on the Open-pit Salt Mine, Lynn pondered deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it means temporarily reducing the rock salt output from the Open-pit Salt Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must build the Salt Factory!\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","aabf115a1df306c58514aa54a7e4bcd959cf278e22a7d9c3c847c376b7315b9a","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-59","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-57",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
