Wilbur pulled up his horse and dismounted with an air of confidence.
His gaze swept around and finally landed on the familiar young face on the bench.
Wilbur strode over to Lynn.
His body bent slightly, his words respectful.
"Master Lynn!"
Lynn looked directly at Wilbur, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Boer, itâs been some time since I last saw you on my estate!"
Raising his head, Boer showed a smile and said, "Yes, Master Lynn."
"Because the last batch of fine salt was rather large, I was uneasy about letting others sell it, only I have the sales experience and channels for fine salt."
"I had to take a few people to Kakasong City for the transaction and sale."
"Speaking of this, Master Lynn, we have leased a shop and warehouse in Kakasong City... specifically to help purchase various goods for you!"
Listening to Boerâs words, Lynn looked at him in surprise.
Boer indeed had a far-reaching vision.
This idea was mentioned to him by Lex before.
At that time, there wasnât a suitable candidate, and to avoid unnecessary risks, Lynn chose to abandon it directly.
Boer, however, came up with this method and implemented it!
Kakasong City has an external commercial wharfâFishermanâs Wharf.
Large or heavy goods can be shipped via the Gibraltar Strait to the Karedi Empire and then dock at Fishermanâs Wharf.
Although Fishermanâs Wharf is not considered a large wharf, it can still allow some medium and small commercial ships to dock and unload goods.
Many merchants like Grayson or Alan are willing to come here to buy inexpensive crops and transport some goods here.
Therefore.
Kakasong City has goods from all over the world.
And Boer is naturally a local trader in Kakasong City with a good merchant identity.
Even if he buys a large amount of goods in Kakasong City, it wonât attract attention from others.
It effectively provides a layer of protection for Lynn!
Lynn responded, "Mr. Boer, what goods have you brought me this time?"
Boer still stood in place, smiling, saying, "Master Lynn, seeds, a batch of vegetable seeds."
"Onion seeds, cabbage seeds, radish seeds, bean seeds, carrot seeds, beet seeds, kale seeds, and so on!"
"A total of 10,000 pounds!"
"And 40,000 pounds of wheat..."
Lynn nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, my estate just happens to be lacking vegetable seeds."
Now autumn plowing and planting have ended.
The two hundred farmers led by Gavin and Wilbur happen to be able to plant those unfinished plots with all the vegetables.
Boerâs words continued, "Master, after each period, there will be members of my business association transporting some common goods to your estate."
"If you urgently need anything, you can also tell us, we can acquire it for you in Kakasong City!"
What Boer said was good news for Lynn.
According to this, Boer became his external purchaser.
Moreover, he is a purchaser that doesnât need him to bear any risk!
Lynn looked at Boer and said, "I need labor with craftsmanship skills!"
"The more, the better!"
Listening to Lynnâs words, Boerâs expression changed, "Master Lynn, are you talking about slaves?"
"As for slaves, we might not be able to deal in buying or selling..."
In the Karedi Empire, it is not easy to become a merchant.
To become a merchant who can buy and sell slaves is even more difficult.
Such qualification often requires the nods of many powers, plus seal stamps.
Only specially qualified people can deal in special goods commodities!
Even if Lynn exchanges him for fine salt, Boer can sell it only through special channels...
Simply put, itâs monopoly!
Lynn said, "I understand this."
"What I mean is, there are many Free People in Kakasong City!"
Like in every village and town, the city also has Free People.
And, even more of them!
Like his mother, working in the textile workshop in Bordeaux City.
Without leasing any land, just relying on craftsmanship ability, earning wages in Bordeaux City to support the family.
Thus, as long as within Marquis Ducaâs territorial range, they can have the right to free movement within a certain scope.
Kakasong City is home to at least tens of thousands of Free People.
They rely on various industries of Lords and live under the command of nobility and wealthy people.
To say nothing of attracting thousands, even tens of thousands, the manual skills ability in his territory will be greatly improved.
Upon hearing this.
Boer understood as well.
He pondered briefly and said, "Alright, Master Lynn, I can give it a try."
Lynn responded.
Ten thousand pounds of vegetable seeds are not expensive.
Two pounds can be bought for one penny.
Plus 40,000 pounds of wheat.
After converting to fine salt, itâs 7,500 pounds.
With the current output efficiency of two thousand pounds of fine salt from three salt factories, eight thousand pounds can be produced in four days.
Seven thousand five hundred pounds is not much.
After all of the goods are unloaded, fine salt is loaded onto Boerâs carriage.
Boer mounted his horse and left Lynnâs estate swiftly in a night-time rush.
Even now, the night had already enveloped the whole world...
When the torch-lit wagon convoy disappeared into the darkness.
Lynn withdrew his gaze.
While eating the dinner Kuisi prepared, his mind continued to ponder.
According to Graysonâs previous words, Free People captured by the Portlands Empire were all released.
This also means that henceforth it is likely that there will no longer be the previous cases of five hundred or a thousand slaves being sent to his estate.
Lynn wants to gain more labor force; he must find other ways.
Directing Free People from Kakasong City or Morgan Town to his estate is one solution.
The second solutionâplunder!
Rob all the slaves or Free People from other Lords!
No.
Accurately speaking, liberation!
He has so much waste land waiting to be developed and planted.
Also, with such advanced planting methods, which can increase production several times.
Yet lacking a large labor force to carry out farming.
Those Manor Lords imprison hundreds and thousands of slaves without food, clothing, or housing.
The crops they produce almost outweigh the seeds sown.
Can this even be called farming?
This is wasting land, wasting labor force!
If he had several thousand more labor force, this autumnâs plowing wouldnât stop at 50,000 acres.
But 100,000 acres!
Even more!
Thinking of this, Lynnâs body became a bit restless.
He increasingly anticipates the arrival of next spring.
In four months, the Bow and Arrow Workshop would have completed producing three hundred longbows.
The Blacksmith Workshop can already produce nine hundred sets of standard plate armor and a large number of winged spears.
The soldiers trained by Rose naturally can wear standard plate armor for battle!
By then, it will be his time to conduct external seizures!
He wants to liberate all othersâ slaves and Free People!
