Chapter 892: Placement
The social environment of the Lost Land is probably still at the level of the European Middle Ages compared to the earth. However, with the efforts of many traversers who have followed one after another and added bricks and tiles, they have developed a style that integrates the modernization of the earth. It's as if the tech guild founded by Lin's follower, Uzov Gantiya, has grown to the point where it can't be ignored.
The introduction of large-scale production methods, the replacement of manual operations with machines, and the mass production of products have impacted the inherent market of the holy city of Estali. It can be said that except for the magic items made by individual secret methods, the market for the rest of the ordinary items, construction, infrastructure construction and other projects, the Technology Guild has occupied half of the Holy City, and its influence continues to expand.
The group of children who were taken in was in someone's plan, and a considerable number of them would enter the Tech Guild in the future. Or become an apprentice to a master, or a clerk or salesman affiliated with a guild. After all, not everyone is suitable for fighting, killing, and adventurous journeys that spend the day begging for a living in the wilderness.
And I bring up the Tech Guild because I've been dealing with members of the Guild lately. The key word is 'ready-to-wear'.
The clothes worn by the people of Midi have always been cut and sewn by themselves using the homespun cloth woven by the people themselves. Aristocratic lords or wealthy businessmen will naturally find specialized tailors to tailor their clothes.
The sewing machine is a tool that Lin and others developed a long time ago. And the jacquard machines, which are more advanced than looms, are used to weave magic silk, and it is certainly not a very troublesome thing to make a loom.
The reason why these two outposts of the industrial revolution, the pioneers of light industry, and the core technology of the textile industry were released, was because of someone's bet. Lin and a half-elf tailor agreed to ask them to develop denim cloth that met their needs. As long as he can find a way to make denim, he will use those two technologies to help them produce them in large quantities, and he will not limit the use of them.
And the so-called denim is the fabric from which jeans are made. This kind of fabric is thick, wear-resistant, not afraid of washing or breaking, and even if it is not washed for a lifetime, there are many people, and it is really the most suitable fabric for laborers' clothing.
At first, Lin Qian visited the guild, and during the small talk with Uzov, the other party casually complained that the clothes of the members of the technical guild were always torn or worn out at work. In order to maintain decency, they spend too much time sewing clothes. So Lin jokingly proposed the concept of denim and ready-to-wear, but he didn't know the specific weaving method.
The half-elf tailor heard the gossip of some of his master and servant, and volunteered to delve into the kind of fabric that some magician would call for it. Lin joked that if the other party could really figure out something, he would also take out the technology of making ready-to-wear clothes to assist the other party in mass production.
And then it really got the half-elf to figure it out. Although I don't know if the denim cloth in my hand is exactly the same as the fabric used in jeans on the earth, Lin supports the other party to use the fanned version of denim as a stepping stone to open up the ready-to-wear market that belongs to the fan.
Unsurprisingly, the next development was that the work clothes made of denim cloth were sought after by the members of the Technical Guild. In particular, the advent of ready-to-wear allows them not to bother finding a tailor or sewing it themselves. Even though the size of the garment doesn't fit perfectly, buying it bigger, whether it's modifying it afterwards or tying it up with a rope, is faster than the old way of having to do everything yourself.
Time is money, I don't know when this sentence has been circulating in the mouths of the members of the Technology Guild.
In the face of huge demand, the scale of garment factories is rapidly expanding. Even the fabrics used are no longer limited to denim fabrics, but also homespun cloths, linen cloths, and cotton cloths that have become the raw materials for garments. And from children to adults, from dwarves to orcs, as long as there are Homo sapiens who are active in the holy city of Estari, they can always find ready-to-wear clothes for their own body type.
It is precisely because of the existence of this garment factory that Lin will not let the group of children who come to him to move in their homes bare-bottomed.
After solving the first two items of clothing, food, housing and transportation for those children, the problem of their housing was brought to the table. The final plan was to build a branch library that would combine teaching and accommodation in addition to the main residence. Because these children will eventually grow up, the accommodation space is arranged in the size of adults. The construction engineering team of the Technology Association quickly set up a project for this and put it on the agenda.
It's just that before the branch library was built, Lin mobilized a group of tents for the group of children to live in for the time being. Anyway, it's summer, and it's not cold enough to go into the house and make a fire to keep warm. Sleeping in a tent, in addition to mosquitoes that bother people, is not a big problem for a group of children.
You know, the place where they used to sleep and shelter didn't even have roof tiles to cover their heads. Even a tent is stronger than their previous life, not to mention the big house being built. These tangible benefits have rekindled the hope of this group of children in life.
Another important aspect is the health of these children.
No matter how advanced the Holy City of Estali is among the cities of the Lost Land, life in the ghetto is as brutal as the rest of the world. Therefore, children who are weak and sick can easily be eliminated. Not to mention that in this world of poor medical environment, it is all too common for children to not be able to raise children, so many that it is not surprising at all.
The children who were able to come to Lin alive had some physical problems to a greater or lesser extent. But they are all minor diseases such as malnutrition, parasites, ringworm, and dysentery. Even if you leave it alone, live in a hygienic and clean environment for a period of time, with some medicines, nutritious food, and good sleep quality, these diseases will be cured naturally without deliberate treatment.
The most troublesome thing is that Ezio is the most anxious, the thin girl named Lucy. At least neither Kaya nor the Marquis of Balan, who were in charge of the preliminary examination, could see what the girl's lesion was. Only one thing is certain, and it will not be a surprise when Lucy's child is gone. Because her body is too weak and she has no appetite.
When a child who is in the growth period can't even eat food for a long time, I'm afraid that time is running out. This was the only judgment that the magician could make after Lucy was brought to Lin.
Just because someone can use healing magic doesn't mean he's a good doctor for all kinds of incurable diseases. At this level, I really have to ask the lich.
After making a judgment, Lin did not delay, and immediately took Lucy to knock on the door of the lich's room. In addition to Lucy's eldest brother, Willy accompanied him, and a large group of children followed from afar.
