CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 187: SLAUGHTERER (10,000 WORDS) (PART 2)

Although this mining cart is just a simple standard version, it can only carry one thousand five hundred pounds.

But this is just the beginning of the mining cart production.

It can be continuously optimized afterwards.

The oak frame can be optimized into an iron frame, and the entire wheel hub and axle can be optimized into iron wheels...

Lynn looked at Colin and Ehrelo, and spoke, "How many mining carts can your two workshops produce in a day together?"

Upon hearing this, Ehrelo and Colin exchanged glances immediately.

There was some hesitation on their faces, as if they were pondering something.

Finally.

Colin explained, "Sir, the frame assembly and testing aren’t difficult, the difficulty lies in the transmission mechanism of the mining cart..."

Ehrelo nodded in agreement, "As Colin said, the speed of mining cart production depends on the speed of the Blacksmith Workshop’s production of transmission mechanisms."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, "Today is January 5th, I need to see twenty hand-cranked mining carts by February."

"Does this pose a problem?"

Ehrelo’s eyes turned as he quickly contemplated.

Lynn’s voice continued to rise.

"The importance of the mining cart, as the foreman of the Blacksmith Workshop, I don’t need to elaborate, do I?"

Ehrelo nodded quickly.

The four Blacksmith Workshops consume anthracite, which almost takes up half of the anthracite consumption of the entire territory.

He naturally understood very well.

"Finish producing twenty hand-cranked mining carts by February, and the penalties for the Blacksmith Workshop will be lifted!"

"Additionally, the Woodworker Workshop will also receive a daily wage of one penny!"

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, Ehrelo, who had his head slightly lowered, immediately lifted his head, his eyes filled with delight.

Not just Ehrelo.

Colin and many Carpenter Apprentices also had noticeable joy on their faces.

The labor intensity of the Woodworker Workshop is certainly not less than that of the Blacksmith Workshop.

Yet the complexity of daily work in the Woodworker Workshop is no less than in the Blacksmith Workshop.

It’s known that the Woodworker Workshop not only needs to undertake the production of all wooden furniture in the territory but also has to handle the work of stonemasons!

Often, when they arrive at the Woodworker Workshop, the labor in their hands never stops.

Only after the evening work is finished do they have their own time...

Lynn, who always assigns tasks to Colin and the Woodworker Workshop, naturally knows all this.

Seeing Ehrelo and Colin remaining silent, Lynn pretended to ask, "What? Unwilling?"

Ehrelo quickly replied, "Willing, willing, Sir, you misunderstood!"

"Old Colin and I assure you, we will definitely produce twenty hand-cranked mining carts by February."

"Otherwise, you don’t need to banish me; I will go and dig coal myself!"

As he spoke, Ehrelo stood with his chest puffed out, his body upright.

Lynn shifted his gaze toward Colin.

Colin also spoke, "Sir, the Woodworker Workshop will spare no effort."

Compared to Ehrelo’s straightforward and open character, Colin is more stable and humble.

Lynn nodded, then looked at Ehrelo again, "Producing mining carts is important, but producing Standard Plate Armor is even more important!"

"How to allocate labor for these two tasks depends on your decision."

Ehrelo stood straight and answered, "Yes, Sir."

After instructing Ehrelo and Colin for a while, Lynn stepped out of the Woodworker Workshop.

Walking past rows of Red Brick Houses, Lynn, accompanied by Red, strolled down the town’s streets.

His mind was rapidly contemplating.

Lynn discerned clearly that the development of the territory was being restricted.

Almost all new labor projects were participated in and led by Colin and Ehrelo.

Because Colin and Ehrelo have always been involved in production and forging, they possess more experience, which is unquestionable.

But then again, when they are engaged in one project, other projects can only enter a waiting period being idle.

Lynn understood that more management talents must be cultivated!

As he pondered this, he had returned to the castle.

The cozy warmth from the burning anthracite enveloped him entirely.

Sitting on the armchair by the fireplace, Lynn directed his gaze toward a guard.

"Go to the edge of the forest to the logging site and bring Avery Dean, Lorenzo Reeves, and Jode Tek to meet me!"

Upon hearing Lynn’s instructions, the guard promptly bent to respond, "Yes, Sir."

With those words, the guard bowed and withdrew.

Lynn shifted his gaze to another guard, "Go to find Rachel Richards, Pamela Arnold, Amber Allen, and Renée Richmond among the townsmen setting the track ground to meet me!"

The guard responded solemnly and likewise, bowed to leave.

Lynn once again filtering through the Resident Information Column, several information frames appeared before him.

"Find Brendan Xavier, Nora Ferguson, and Betina Nek..."

As Lynn continued issuing orders, five or six guards departed the castle, quickly heading to the locations he indicated.

These individuals were slaves transported by Grayson from the Portlands Empire.

They all possessed different Third-level Skills!

Compared to the townsmen who did not have any skill foundation, their value was naturally higher.

Half an hour later.

The first guard to leave brought four people to the castle’s hall.

Looking at the spacious reception hall, the faces of the three townsmen were full of nervousness.

Especially upon seeing the young man sitting in the armchair and the burly man standing behind him.
