"Paul, how are the water purification tools doing? Let me check on your work progress." Sean asked directly after entering the door.

The carpenter Paul said proudly: "Dear Lord, my old Paul never lies. In fact, I completed the water purification tool last night."

"Then why didn't you go to the castle to inform me last night?" Sean's tone suddenly became a little harsh.

The carpenter Paul realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I went to your castle last night, but the servants in the castle said that you had already rested, so..."

"Forget it, let's go look at the water purification tools." Sean didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter, so he interrupted Paul directly.

"Okay, sir, please come over here."

Carpenter Paul took Sean to the place where he worked yesterday. What he saw was a stove with a large pot on it. On the big pot, there was a steaming bucket that could just cover the pot.

Paul walked to the stove, pointed to the steam bucket and introduced to Sean:

"Lord, this is the water purification tool you want.

It would take a long time to make a new steamer bucket in the water purification tool, so I went to the town to find a few discarded buckets, took them apart, cleaned the walls of the buckets, and assembled them into this steamer bucket.

I used a combination of bamboo pipes and wine barrels for the conduit at the back, which should meet your requirements."

Sean stepped forward and touched the water purification device. It was quite strong.

The main body of the water purification device is modified from an oak bucket. The inner wall is smooth and waterproof. Carpenters in the Yohn area like to use oak whether making buckets, wine barrels or even window baffles.

As for the condensation part, it is also very simple to make. It is filled with water in a wine barrel, and a bamboo tube runs through it. It is completed very simply.

"Well, it's well done. Although it's rough, it takes a short time after all...Henry, give him a reward of two gold coins."

"Thank you, Lord!" Paul, the carpenter, happily bowed to Sean.

Jamie, the shoemaker next to him, also felt a little sour when he saw the gold coins obtained by old Paul:

"Hey, if I had known I would have become a carpenter, this line of work would be too easy!"

When the carpenter Paul heard what the shoemaker Jamie said, he gave him a hard look.

"Okay, okay, Jamie, go to work too. When you make the finished product, you will be rewarded more than Paul." Sean smiled and said, "Paul, too, please improve this set of water purification tools.

I will give you more rewards in the future."

"We will definitely do better!" After hearing Sean's words, the two craftsmen were very happy.

…

Now that the steaming barrel is ready, all that's left is to start making the spirits.

Sean didn't want everyone present to know how to make spirits. After all, there were many eyes.

The mill occupies a large area with many small compartments, so Sean decided to distill the spirit in the next room.

So Sean said to Tom, the leader of the children: "Tom, take a few children to carry this thing to the next room. Be careful not to break it."

"As you command, Lord." After hearing Sean's order, Tom called over the four children who usually played the best, and carefully carried the steam bucket and cauldron towards the next room.

...

On the way to the next room, Sean asked Tom: "Why did the shoemaker scold you just now?"

Tom was one of the two children the shoemaker scolded just now.

After hearing Sean's question, Tom suddenly trembled with fright and almost dropped the big pot he was carrying to the ground.

After calming down, Tom replied in a low voice: "Lord, I will only be scolded if the leather I make does not meet Lord Jamie's requirements. He said that we are far behind his apprentices."

Tom's voice was full of remorse.

After all, Sean still has to pay them two gold coins every month as wages. Now he can't even learn the most basic leatherworking. Tom feels very sorry for Sean.

Sean looked at Tom who looked remorseful in front of him, and suddenly had a good idea:

"Maybe you are not suitable to be a shoemaker. Otherwise, I will show you another way. If you do well, your future salary will be even higher than that of shoemaker Jamie. Are you willing to do it?"

"Of course!" all five children replied excitedly.

"No one among the twenty-two of you can read, right?" Sean asked.

The children shook their heads one after another. They all came from slums, how could they be literate?

"Then I will give each of you a piece of paper tonight, and you can practice imitating it on the ground using tree branches during your free time at night.

Those of you who are the best at writing I will arrange for them to enter the territory's school, and when they grow up, they can even become the territory's affairs officer. It depends on whether you work hard."

The characters in this world are very easy to write. They are a bit like the characters in the Banya Kingdom. There are only 29 letters in total. It is very easy to simply imitate the letters.

The main reason why these children learn to write is that Sean wants to find children with strong imitation skills among these children, so that they can copy Luo Dian's books and sell them in the future.

After all, few people in the territory were literate, and before printing was invented, the territory still needed a large number of scribes.

...

"Secretary officer?" Upon hearing Sean's words, these children opened their eyes wide with desire in their eyes.

The biggest dream of children born in slums is to become craftsmen and live a life without worries about food and clothing. They really don't dare to think about becoming an official.

"Of course, if you want to practice calligraphy, practice at night. When working during the day, you have to listen to the instructions of the two craftsmen. If you work hard, you can't be lazy. Do you understand?"

"Of course, we will definitely work hard!" The children thought of the bright future and became more energetic in their work.

After a while, the children moved the distillation device and the cauldron to the next door. Under Sean's command, they first arranged the distillation device and the cauldron, and then lit a fire under the cauldron.

Butler Henry also followed Sean to the next door. At this time, he stood aside and asked worriedly: "Lord, you are planning to use water purification tools to make dwarf spirits. Can this really succeed?"

"You'll find out later."

Sean directed the children to light up the fire and poured all the ale in the barrel into the pot.

For a moment, the aroma of wine overflowed.
