System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 849 - 267: Horse Trainer (10,000 Words)_6

Showing no intention of retreating.

It merely snorted a few times, allowing Old Simeon’s right hand to fall on its head.

Allowing him to gently stroke it.

Perhaps feeling the comfort within.

The warhorse’s ears twitched involuntarily, while its mane-covered tail swung rhythmically...

Seeing this scene, Lynn’s eyebrows slightly rose.

Whether it was Old Simeon just now, introducing the Badan Pure-blood Warhorse with such familiarity.

Or now, the warhorse’s adaptability to his approach.

It was evidently much more relaxed and natural than with the ranch workers.

That feeling was like that of old friends.

After gently stroking the warhorse a few times, Old Simeon curiously asked.

"May I ask... who decided to build a separate stable for raising warhorses?"

Guy, hearing this, turned his head to look at Lynn and replied, "It was our Master Lynn."

Old Simeon’s gaze followed Guy’s over.

Lynn countered, "Is there a problem?"

Old Simeon was slightly surprised and quickly answered.

"Lord, there is no problem, no problem at all."

"The reason I asked is that a separate stable is the best way to raise Badan Pure-blood Warhorses."

"It effectively avoids trampling or overcrowding, leading to fights."

Lynn uttered a sound of acknowledgment.

He looked directly at the old Simeon before him and the few family members behind him.

"Since I’ve already agreed you can stay on the territory."

"From now on, you are the townsmen of my territory."

"As Lord, I won’t be formal with you."

Old Simeon and his family quickly bowed.

Lynn continued, "As you’ve seen, the ranch not only has Badan Empire warhorses but also many ordinary warhorses and draft horses."

"I need you to lead a group of apprentices, to teach them how to train and nurture horses."

"While taking care of these Badan Empire warhorses, through breeding, produce more warhorses!"

If you want to have a large armored cavalry, relying solely on Alan’s purchases from the Badan Empire.

The numbers are certainly insufficient.

Even if Alan has a Kirk Ship that can transport two hundred warhorses.

However.

The tiny Badan Empire, how many warhorses can it produce each year?

Even if more warhorses are produced, they’ve long been controlled by the surrounding Empire’s great lords.

How many warhorses can Alan buy and transport to the southern borders of the Karedi Empire?

Lynn had even pondered.

It was just because of this.

Which led Alan to send warhorses to his territory.

From the top-tier warhorses initially, to now being medium warhorses!

To have a large-scale cavalry force, various methods must be used!

While Alan is purchasing and transporting warhorses.

His territory, in turn, will breed and nurture them.

And using the Mutated Wild Boar Farm, train wild boars to become rideable mounts.

Finishing his words, Lynn’s gaze swept over the crowd.

"Any objections?"

"Or, what kind of assistance do you need from me?"

Old Simeon glanced at his son and daughter-in-law behind him.

Without needing their words, Old Simeon’s voice was respectful, "Lord, it’s just as we wish."

"Our family has been horse trainers on ranches for generations, continuing this work is the best for us."

Uleir and Gordon behind Old Simeon both nodded in agreement.

Lynn responded, "Very well."

"In these few days, you can continue to familiarize yourselves with the ranch and the town’s surroundings."

"Afterwards, I’ll send a hundred townsmen to the ranch for you to teach."

"As for how to teach them, it depends on your ability."

"During this period, any needs in breeding, you can find either me or Steward Kuisi."

Old Simeon’s face was full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord."

Lynn gave a small nod.

As he was about to leave, a thought crossed his mind.

Lynn continued speaking to Old Simeon, "Besides training warhorses, can you train wild boars?"

Hearing Lynn’s words, Old Simeon and his family’s faces showed surprise.

"Wild boars?"

"I’ve never tried training wild boars... I wouldn’t dare to hastily judge, Lord."

"However, if you need, I can give it a try..."

Lynn nodded, "I see, we will discuss it later."

The Forest Pig still needs to continue being empowered and bred, time is still early.

He instructed Guy to stay with them to familiarize with the environment.

Lynn strode out of the ranch, heading straight to the nearby Wild Boar Farm.

Up until now.

The trainers for breeding warhorses have finally been settled.

Next.

Is to await the completion of the Red Brick House expansion area construction.

Then to integrate them, assigning them to various needed industry positions.

Walking, Lynn contemplated how to utilize the three thousand laborers.

First of all.

It’s as he just said, dispatching a hundred laborers to Old Simeon.

For him to lead and teach, nurturing a group of horse trainers with horse training abilities.

In a world where the number of cavalry is fighting strength.

More horse trainers, naturally the better.

Secondly.

Manpower needs to be drawn to build a Territory Court.

As for thereafter...

Lynn pondered for a moment, realizing.

Up until now.

His territory has already changed from before.

When a single laborer was so scarce that it was as if two were being used.

A population of twenty-two thousand, aside from the recruited soldier guards and arranged to various production positions.

He felt surplus for the first time!

Lynn couldn’t help but sigh once more.

Indeed, external wars are the best way to obtain labor!

Taking six hundred laborers from these three thousand, still leaves two thousand four hundred.

Looking at the lime road on the ground, Lynn raised his eyebrows.

He had already made up his mind.

These two thousand four hundred can entirely be invested in the territory’s basic construction.

For instance, expanding the lime road leading from Lord’s Square to various external town industries.

Previously, due to limited workforce, the excavated stones made into lime were also limited.

As a result.

The constructed lime roads were not that wide.

In narrow parts, only about two meters.

Only at road junctions, it expanded to three to four meters wide.

With the current workforce and materials available.

He could fully expand the lime roads in the territory to red brick surfaces that could allow two carriages to drive side by side!

Most crucially.

After a year of use.

The lime roads, originally hardened with lime mortar, have shown pothole signs due to rain, snow erosion, and wheel pressing.

For ease of future use and travel.

The road expansion in the territory also needs to be prioritized.

After determining the allocation of the three thousand laborers in the Red Brick House expansion area.

Lynn arrived at the farm expansion area.

Looking at the five farms nearing completion.

He rolled up his sleeves, joining the construction worker team.

...

In the town.

Accompanied by George, Alan walked through Lord’s Square.

Perhaps because of the leather armor Alan wore, which differed greatly from ordinary townsmen.

Some passing townsmen couldn’t help but cast curious glances towards Alan.

However.

Upon seeing George by Alan’s side, they all bowed their heads to show respect.

And quickened their pace, hurrying away.

Neither Alan’s expensive leather armor nor the accompaniment of Butler and Merchant Mister George.

Were people they could afford to offend.

Alan paid no mind, his gaze scanning forward.

Among the busy figures were simple and serene faces.

Children just a few years old playing and frolicking in Lord’s Square.

No need to worry about bandits, no need to fear war, nor the threat of being trafficked...

Seeing such scenes.

Alan, whose mind has been tense for years, felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation.
