Chapter 1301: Chapter 343: Expand the Army! Expand the Army! Keep Expanding the Army!
"As per your instructions, Master Lynn, Boer has posted notices for the hiring of Free People at the talent market in Kakasong City."
"The employment conditions are that ordinary Free People receive a daily wage of two pence, and Free People with craftsmanship skills receive four pence daily."
"Those Free People with special abilities earn even more."
"And the Free People willing to settle in Morgan Town can earn double the daily wage!"
Lynn nodded, indicating his response.
Boer continued his narration.
"Because of the high wages you promised, Master Lynn, Boer has hired a large number of Free People for you!"
Sensing the strong excitement in Boer’s tone, Lynn raised his eyebrow slightly and asked.
"A large number?"
"How many Free People in total?"
Boer continued to explain.
"Master, a total of one thousand Free People have accepted the employment."
"Among them, five hundred Free People wish to earn double wages and have brought their families along."
"Including their relatives, the total number is fifteen hundred!"
Hearing the numbers that came out of Boer’s mouth,
Lynn couldn’t help but give Boer an approving glance and spoke.
"Very well done, Mr. Boer."
"Right now, I need a substantial force!"
Upon hearing Master Lynn’s praise, Boer showed a humble smile.
"Master Lynn, you flatter me."
"Although there were some obstacles during the recruitment process,"
"Fortunately, it was thrilling yet safe!"
Lynn looked at Boer curiously and inquired.
"Obstacles?"
Boer hesitated for a few seconds before finally reporting to Master Lynn.
"Yes, Master Lynn."
"Because the price you promised to the Free People, Master Lynn, far exceeded market rates,"
"the labor force in the talent market directly abandoned the recruitment and employment by other wealthy merchants and Workshop Masters, choosing Boer instead."
"Of course, Master Lynn, don’t misunderstand, it’s not that Boer is blaming you for disrupting the market..."
Lynn nodded slightly, waiting for Boer to continue his story.
"Wealthy merchants and Workshop Masters couldn’t recruit the needed Free People with very low daily wages, harming their interests."
"Naturally, they bore grudges against Boer, even organizing people to surround him."
"In the past, Boer would never have dared to interact with these prominent figures, nor dared to offend them in any way..."
At this point, Boer’s tone changed.
"But now, things are different."
"Behind Boer stands Master Lynn!"
Boer’s face showed obvious pride and self-satisfaction.
"When dozens of Guards hired by wealthy merchants and Workshop Masters surrounded Boer in Kakasong City, trying to disband the Free People he hired..."
"Boer boldly announced Master Lynn’s name, just as you had previously instructed!"
"Boer told everyone, ’I am Boer Hansen, the business partner of Lynn Blake, the only Lord of Morgan Town, respectfully known as the ’Fire of Lorraine’!"
Lynn’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise, feeling Boer’s tone become rich and powerful.
Boer’s voice continued.
"Master Lynn! After Boer announced your name, all the wealthy merchants, Workshop Masters, and a group of Guards were all awestruck!"
"Perhaps they’ve never seen you, maybe they don’t know your esteemed presence!"
"But the moment they heard your name, they felt fear!"
"Master Lynn! Your authority and influence have already spread from this territory to Kakasong City, hundreds of miles away!"
"Not only that, Master Lynn..."
"When Boer transports fine salt to Kakasong City, no Law Enforcement Officer or Church clergy in the city charges Boer any passage tax or market entry tax..."
"It is you, Master Lynn, who granted Boer all of this!"
As Boer’s words fell, he nearly involuntarily bowed, showing respectful etiquette.
Boer certainly knew that all of this was due to Master Lynn standing in front of him.
It was under Master Lynn’s care that he enjoyed all these dreamlike treatments!
Who could have imagined.
That Lynn, who once only had a few workers.
Could develop so remarkably in just over a year.
Just the mention of Master Lynn’s name would be enough to intimidate those elite figures!
Lynn nodded slightly and said,
"To be able to help Mr. Boer, nothing could be better!"
Suppressing his emotional thoughts, Boer looked up and explained.
"According to your previous instructions, Master Lynn, Boer left the fifteen hundred people brought from Kakasong City in Morgan Town, under Commander Wesley’s charge..."
Lynn responded, "I will handle the work arrangements for these Free People who have come to Morgan Town, Mr. Boer need not worry too much."
"However, Mr. Boer, just a thousand Free People are far from enough; I need more Free People."
"As long as they are willing to accept paid employment, as long as they are willing to come to Morgan Town, I will hire as many as there are!"
The fifty-six hundred garrison soldiers in the Manor Castle can fulfill the cultivation and planting of the 120,000 acres of land in Morgan Town.
But Lynn still needs more strong, land-settling Free People.
To recruit them as garrison soldiers in Posey Town’s second Garrison.
To engage them in planting and military border defense in Bo Xi Town.
Boer’s expression turned slightly stern, quickly responding respectfully.
"Yes, Boer will adhere to Master Lynn’s instructions."
