System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 847 - 267: Horse Trainer (10K)_4

Lynn naturally understood the meaning behind Alan’s words.

He retracted his gaze and responded, "I’ve already investigated it."

"Upstream leads into rugged mountains, and the further up you go, the narrower the river becomes."

"And downstream, it’s cut off by a waterfall seven or eight meters high."

"Wanting to destroy the waterfall and connect the river with the downstream water body isn’t easy."

Hearing this.

Alan’s face was full of regret.

The river behind the Lynn Territory could connect seamlessly with the Seine River in Kakasong City.

Even if the river isn’t deep enough to allow hundred-ton medium to large ships to pass through.

He could easily park fully loaded ships in the deeper areas.

Then use smaller boats to transport the cargo to Lynn’s dock.

In this way.

It would save on the market entry tax for goods entering Kakasong City’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

And save time from driving the horse-drawn carriages from Kakasong City to the Lynn Territory!

Most importantly.

He wouldn’t be significantly limited by the transport capacity of land routes.

Lynn’s tone shifted, "However..."

Alan raised his eyebrows and immediately asked curiously, "However?"

"However, what?"

Seeing Alan’s somewhat anxious expression, Lynn smiled.

"However, if some abundant sulfur can be found, I do have a way to solve the waterfall constraint."

Alan’s eyes widened, "Sulfur?"

Lynn began to explain, "A natural mineral commonly found near volcanoes and hot springs."

"It often appears in blocky or crystalline forms, usually yellow in color."

"When burned, it releases a pungent odor..."

Alan nodded slightly, saying, "Master Lynn, once I leave your territory, I will inquire with merchants frequently visiting volcanic or hot spring countries."

"If sulfur can be found, and it can open up the river behind your territory, no effort would be too great!"

Although he didn’t know what the role of sulfur, as a mineral, was.

But he knew that once the waterfall problem was resolved and the river opened up.

He could drive fully loaded merchant ships directly to Master Lynn’s territory.

And exchange large quantities of goods with Master Lynn!

Profiting wildly from the price differences!

Seeing the eager look on Alan’s face, Lynn smiled.

"Then I’ll leave that to Mr. Alan."

In the conversation between Lynn and Alan, they arrived at a tavern.

Crossing the doorway, Lynn and Alan sat face-to-face at a round table in the tavern.

Red, having brought a bottle of gin and glasses, sensibly poured drinks for Lynn and Alan.

Watching the gin, like golden silk, flow from the glazed bottle into the glass before them.

And smelling the rich aroma of the gin.

Alan’s throat moved, and he couldn’t help but swallow.

Even though they hadn’t started drinking yet.

Just the scent alone made his mouth water.

After Red finished pouring, Lynn picked up his glass and raised it toward Alan.

Alan also picked up his glass.

Their glasses touched lightly.

With a crisp sound, Alan said, "Cheers, Master Lynn."

Lynn responded, "Cheers."

Alan said nothing more and pulled back his arm, downing the gin in the glazed cup in one go.

The familiar and intense taste of gin appeared in his mouth.

As he swallowed, the intensity spread from his throat down to his abdomen.

"Ah~"

Just one glass, and Alan felt as if his body was being warmed by a comfortable fire.

He couldn’t help but let out a breath of alcohol.

After slightly adjusting to the feeling of the gin, Alan, full of praise, said.

"Master Lynn, the gin’s flavor has become even more robust and stimulating!"

Lynn smiled slightly, "If Mr. Alan finds it enjoyable, please help yourself to more."

Gin is a type of distilled spirit.

With Lex’s brewing workshop becoming more and more adept at distillation techniques.

The alcohol content in gin only gets higher and higher.

In the end.

They’ll be able to distill high-purity alcohol for medical and industrial use!

Seeing Red refill his gin, Alan’s face lit up with a smile, "Of course, Master Lynn."

Without any hesitation, Alan downed the drink from the table once more.

A few glasses in, Alan contentedly burped.

Time quickly passed by.

While Lynn and Alan chatted leisurely.

George, walking briskly, entered the tavern.

Standing beside Lynn, George reminded him, "Sir, Mr. George’s goods have all been unloaded from the carriage."

"All fifty thousand pounds of fine salt have been loaded onto his vehicle as well..."

Lynn nodded, and sitting across from him, Alan also heard George’s words.

Alan raised an eyebrow, looking towards the guard captain standing not far away.

"Arrange for personnel to first transport this batch of fine salt back to the Kirk Ship at Fisherman’s Wharf."

"I’ll return to Kakasong City with the last batch of fine salt!"

Upon receiving Alan’s order, the guard commander quickly bowed in acknowledgement and stepped out of the tavern.

This batch of fine salt totaled 197,000 pounds.

With the transport capacity of the carriages he brought, each trip could only move fifty thousand pounds.

It would take four round trips to transport all the fine salt exchanged on this occasion.

Instead of leaving Master Lynn’s territory now to wait in Kakasong City.
