Song Qingzhai raised his eyebrows, "Our life in the Northland will get better and better, but at first we couldn't afford many, could it be that we couldn't afford even one piece?
"Since we have the first block, I believe that there will be a second block soon.

"As for what is given to you, it is the reward given to you by the princess in recognition of your hard work. You can choose where to use it."

The craftsmen were even happier.

Most of their families are on the outskirts of the arsenal.

The arsenal has two walls, inside and outside. The inner wall needs to verify identity before entering. It belongs to the core area of ​​the arsenal, and family members are not allowed to enter.

There are houses arranged between the inner and outer walls for the families of craftsmen to live in, or those who do not want to enter the walls. Villages have gradually formed around the arsenal, where they can farm and live outside.

It's just that except for the scope of the arsenal, they are not protected by the arsenal.It depends on how the individual chooses.

Craftsmen work for five days and can take one day off, taking turns.On rest days, you can go home and reunite with your family.

The houses where the craftsmen lived were also built uniformly, for the sake of publicity, with roughly the same flat size and layout.

But the layout inside depends on personal preference.

The craftsmen all thought that if they could install glass on the windows—even if there was only one piece, it would not only look good but transmit light well, it would also improve their mood!

I also tested the firmness of the glass with the craftsmen, and said to Song Qingzhai: "It's much better. The glass that was made at the beginning was very brittle, but after returning to the furnace and re-extracting it from the mold, it became much stronger."

Song Qingzhai nodded, and encouraged the craftsmen to stop disturbing their work. He followed Xu Ji to see other furnaces, and then went to the forging workshop. When he came out, he felt that the clothes inside his overalls were soaked in sweat. up.

Willow branches and willow leaves did not follow, and they would have to undergo extremely strict inspections when they entered the work area.

They prepared a cool mung bean chrysanthemum drink outside.

After Xu Ji and Song Qingzhai came out, each of them drank two large bowls heartily, and then smiled at each other.

Song Qingzhai asked: "Can't the conditions inside be slightly improved?"

Xu Ji shook his head, "I also thought about it, but it's just that I can't solve it for the time being, it's so close to the furnace, even if it's sent into the ice basin, it won't help.

"So they can only be arranged to work in shifts, and even if they are on the job, they have to take a break every half an hour and replenish water.

"In addition, part of their wages is paid in the name of heatstroke prevention and cooling. The total monthly salary should be more than ten times that of ordinary craftsmen."

Song Qingzhai nodded slightly, "The mung bean soup they ate was slightly salty when I tasted it, why is that?"

"Our sweat is inherently salty," Xu Ji explained, "they sweat a lot, and the body loses a lot of salt. If it is not replenished in time, it will cause great harm to the body.

"So I asked people to add a little salt to the mung bean soup they were drinking."

Song Qingzhai nodded, and thoughtfully said: "According to what you said, the soldiers should also be given a little salt water after training in the army."

Xu Ji nodded: "Light salt water has many uses, and it can also be used to clean wounds, but that kind of light salt water needs to be made with distilled water, and under the current conditions, it cannot be mass-produced and stored for a long time."

Song Qingzhai asked humbly: "What is distilled water?"

Xu Ji simply explained: "The water collected after distillation and condensation is more pure than pure boiled water. Using such water to clean wounds is less likely to cause infection symptoms such as suppuration and fever."
