From Londoner to Lord on Royalroad takes a long time to get there, like it takes a long time to get anywhere, but recent chapters have been about a raid to free slaves. One of the first things the protagonist does upon becoming lord of the poorest village in the land is abolish slavery in his own holdings, and builds from there over time to sending out covert agents and raiding parties to free slaves and kill slavers. Other things he's done include building social housing, starting food and literacy as well as medical research programs, arming women, and land reform.

The minute to minute story is much more about long conversations about how to build things like seed drills, water wheels, and crossbows, though.
