Night as their leader?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the same scene before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After talking with Guy for a while, Lynn dismissed him to continue busying himself with the ranch affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the \"Mutated Wild Boar Farm\" beneath his feet, it’s still just a simple breeding farm right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supporting training facilities are being constructed by builders and peasants under Jode’s leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn is not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s training warhorses or empowering the breeding of forest pigs, both require a cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s still lacking trainers with experience in training warhorses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything can only progress slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing outside the farm, he looked far into the distance at Jode, who was building fences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lynn withdraw his gaze and walk out of the farm, heading towards the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a short distance along the lime road, Lynn stopped at the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stooped down and looked at the patches of barley in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already late May, with three days to go until June.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to spring barley, the winter barley, planted for a longer time, had already completed its basic growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gavin and Wilbur led the farmers in watering and fertilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stalks were sturdy, standing at least ninety centimeters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each barley plant bore lush leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some stalks had grains that emerged from the previously hidden flag leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the spikes were fully visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spikes were flat, measuring about ten centimeters long, and bore many small flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn carefully counted the flowers; each spikelet had five or six small flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come early June, barley would transition from the booting stage to the flowering and pollination stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flowers on the spikes gradually opened, revealing anthers and stigmas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pollen would be spread via wind or insects to complete the pollination process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, through the filling stage in late June and the maturity stage in mid-July.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one hundred thousand mu (Chinese acre) of barley fields would be ready for harvest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had roughly estimated before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the soil fertility was limited, with a yield of only one hundred eighty catties per mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hundred thousand mu could still yield at least eighteen million catties of barley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn felt inexplicably expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with sufficient food could he boldly recruit more people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like previously recruiting over six thousand peasants from the Three Great Estates, along with numerous poultry and livestock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Boer and Grayson, among other merchants, constantly transporting food to his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the limited amount of food stored in the castle’s warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely couldn’t sustain the daily consumption of the territory’s over fifteen thousand people until the barley in the fields matured and was harvested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen thousand people, along with poultry and livestock, and warhorses needing fine feed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the least, averaging three catties per person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would require forty-five thousand catties of food every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a territory wholly reliant on merchants to trade and transport food, this is a massive consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight miscalculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resulting in a food shortage, one or two days might pass unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beyond three days, chaos would surely erupt in the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by instinctual needs, the townsmen would start raiding all edible resources in the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pledges, territorial laws, loyalty...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All would vanish like smoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the townsmen, a lord who can’t solve even their basic needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they persist at their workstations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For surely, food is the utmost priority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t hesitate to trade fine salt, glazed glass, and alcohol with the merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At twice below market price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open-pit salt mine, under current extraction methods, could last for decades or even hundreds of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as his territory maintains stable development, he can continuously assign townsmen for extraction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glazed glass and alcohol, need not speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With technology, he could persistently keep both workshops producing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raw material for glazed glass is essentially sand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aladia River is never short of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin, beer’s primary raw material is merely barley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these two commodities, even describing them as inexhaustible is apt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With temporarily inexhaustible economic goods from the territory in exchange for scarce food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the lowest trading prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still believes it’s an incredibly good trade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing down his thoughts, Lynn continued observing the crops and walked to the cotton fields enclosed by tree branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn bent to inspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From sowing the cotton seeds to now, two months had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seedlings had sprouted from the ground, with green cotyledons spreading out for photosynthesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Providing energy and nutrients for the seedlings’ growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some healthier cotton seedlings had already produced three or four true leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the assistance of true leaves, the growth rate of seedlings would quicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From May’s seedling stage, to July’s budding stage, then to August’s boll-setting stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the bracing stage in October.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cotton bolls mature, shells crack open, revealing white cotton inside, ready for harvest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, upon acquiring cotton seeds, he promptly planted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even with the \"Special Seed Store,\" and spending energy stones for cotton seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t plant at present!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farming requires timeliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sayings like ’Man misses the land for a moment, land misses the man for a year’ and ’Do not violate the farming season’ wouldn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the cotton, Lynn walked over to the fenced potato fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the cotton, the potatoes grew splendidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They remained in the seedling stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each seedling had three to five pinnate leaves, vibrant green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surface covered in fine hairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the roots breaking through the soil were slender, they were remarkably tough, delving deep into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spread leaves intensely photosynthesize, providing nutrients for the plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn scanned the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in the potato or cotton fields, he saw no weeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavin and Wilbur led the farmers to care well for these fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn gazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps of someone running sounded from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn turned to see Gavin, panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-05-29T04:51:14.649Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f9d4d84041836feb71cd2f9c1a4ca1b130e49292fd891c7d0345c27eff37858","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-694","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-692",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
