Ning Qingxi barely squeezed out a smile and grabbed one hand on the minecart to prevent himself from being pulled in.

She reluctantly struggled and said, "Master Lu, why don't we go on the road?" This minecart isn't safe, is it? ”

"What's not safe about this, we've tried it, it's been a while, and nothing has happened. Don't worry, it's safe, can I still hurt you? ”

- I'm not worried that you will harm me, I am worried that you will hurt yourself.

"Master Lu, this is really not safe, it is appropriate to use it to pull things, but the danger of pulling people is too high, it's okay to go up, if you come down, the speed is too fast, and you can fly people upside down directly." Ning Qingxi had to warn.

"You're stupid, of course I do." Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled a thick rope beside him, "When we see that we don't come down, we will all use this thing to tie it to our bodies, so that we won't fly out upside down." ”

Isn't that what a seat belt is? It's just a little too rough, but it seems that these people have a number in their hearts, at least there won't be human deaths, right?

Ning Qingxi couldn't persuade Lu Xuan, but she really didn't dare to take this minecart with no safety measures, her life was at stake, and in the end she chose to go up by herself.

Anyway, as long as you walk half of the way, the remaining half of the road will become easier to walk, and it is better to work your legs than to bear the danger.

By the time Ning Qingxi arrived, Lu Xuan had already been sitting there waiting for a long time.

"Look at you, let you sit in a minecart, you don't sit, you have to go so far by yourself." Lu Xun didn't understand why Ning Qingxi was so timid, because in his opinion, this thing was very safe, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the timidity of the little girl's family.

Ning Qingxi smiled and didn't answer, "Master Lu, let's go in and have a look." ”

Lu Xuan stood up and led her through one inspection after another.

Ning Qingxi found that the small crack that had been blown open by them had been completely sealed with cement stones.

In addition, the road opened up is very wide, the bottom of the road is also paved with cement, and the entire mountain is guarded, and when it comes to the entrance of Taoyuan Village, there are more guards, she believes that there are not only guards on the surface, but also many people in the secret.

Walking to the exit, it has been completely renewed.

The original walls have been built, and various tool rooms have been built inside.

"See that over there? From now on, there will be a secret research room, where some of the more important things will be studied. ”

"And over there, this is the stove you used to make, right? We have demolished and redone it, and in the future, the speed of our iron ore smelting can also be improved. ”

"These rows of houses are for craftsmen, and these craftsmen can only live here in the future."

Lu Xuan introduced as he walked.

"Is the workshop in the county completely abandoned?" Ning Qingxi asked as he looked at it.

"The workshop below still needs to be used, and some weapon tinkering can be done there. There will also be some artisans there, but not too many, most of them have moved here, and those who remain there are newly recruited artisans. ”

Chang Yuan also captured a lot of craftsmen when he took Jinzhou, and Lu Cui added all those people, leaving only a little at the bottom of the mountain.

Ning Qingxi and Lu Xun circled twice, and after roughly figuring it out, the two went down the mountain together.

"Master Lu, do I think the treatment of craftsmen should be improved? In the future, they will have no freedom and can only live here, and we should give them some other compensation. Ning Qingxi proposed.

"That's the way it should be, I was just about to tell General Chang."

Then the two went to Chang Yuan to mention it, and Chang Yuan agreed when he heard it. In the past, craftsmen could only make some armor and weapons for him, but now these craftsmen are treasures! He will feel distressed if there is one less, and he will naturally not mind mentioning the treatment of these people, which can also make these craftsmen work harder for him.

Ning Qingxi had originally mentioned the treatment of craftsmen, but Chang Yuan only added some food to them, and didn't care much about the rest, this time he waved his hand, not only increased the food, but these craftsmen will also have moon silver in the future.

If they perform well in the future, they can also let their children live outside and serve in the army.

When those craftsmen learned about it, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying Long live General Chang.

The son of a craftsman can only be a craftsman, and the daughter of a craftsman can marry out, but she can't marry a good family at all, and now Chang Yuan has given them a chance to let their sons no longer be craftsmen, although they can only be in this place for the rest of their lives, but these craftsmen are also satisfied, where is not to live? Anyway, there is food, drink, and money. They don't care if they're confined or not.

Even ecstatic and flocking to it.

In ancient times, the transportation was not developed, and many people lived in the village all their lives, but Taoyuan Village was actually not small after the expansion, and it was also a village after all these craftsmen moved in.

They don't care at all if they can go out or not, but the possibility of their children and grandchildren having a future is what makes them the happiest the most.

There are a lot of guards between the craftsmen's residences and the secret research institute on Taoyuan Village, so even if the families of those craftsmen live on it, it is impossible to find out any secrets, unless the craftsmen take the initiative to reveal it, of course, those craftsmen will not stretch out their necks to cut people, if the secrets are leaked, no matter who it is, their family will suffer.

All the artisans were ecstatic to stay where they would be for the rest of their lives.

"I'm good, this house is ours? Can we live in such a good house? The craftsman touched the stone wall in disbelief.

"How good is this cement house? After that, you won't be afraid of collapse in the wind and rain, right? ”

"Oh my God, let mud legs like us live in this good house, General Chang is really a bodhisattva!"

Someone whispered: "I heard that Miss Ning and Master Lu went to talk to General Chang, otherwise how can we have monthly money?" The fact that you can send the child out is also mentioned by Miss Ning. ”

"Miss Ning is a good person. At the beginning, we were able to add so many buns to our food, all because of Miss Ning's blessing. ”

"Alas, Miss Ning feels sorry for us hard-working people, we have to work hard in the future, and we can't live up to Miss Ning's trust."

"Moved, moved, lived in a big house! Hahaha! ”

"I said Lao Li, take care of your children, this caution of running up and down has provoked those soldiers to be cleaned up."

The natural strength of being a craftsman will not be small, and the old Li man directly rolled up his sleeves and went out three times and divided five by two, and picked up his son's neck clothes as easily as catching a little chicken.

"You little bunny, what did I tell you? Tell you not to run, don't run around! He scolded as he scolded.

Then there was the sound of children crying, and the children of craftsmen had a low status, so they were naturally more sensible, and after realizing that they had done something wrong, the children could only cry quietly and did not dare to run again.

"Okay, okay, just teach us a lesson, hurry up and move our things, and we will start working tomorrow." Someone couldn't bear to persuade him, so Lao Li immediately got off the donkey down the slope and put the child down, reprimanded him a few words, and went to work on his own business.
