"Okay, I'll just say that as long as Luoluo and Xiaoya play more together, Xiaoya will get better." Looking at the little girl who was running around in a circle and struggling with who to throw the handkerchief to, Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Mmmm, my little sister's voice is so good, I want to teach her all the songs I know." Luoluo nodded her little head and said.

"Okay, Uncle will have a lot of songs, and I will teach you when I have time." Zhao Yuan touched the little girl's head and said.

"It's a lot of fun, Luoluo, how about I join in." Wan Yunjun said with a smile.

Wan Xin and Wan Xiaoxiao also stepped forward and shouted Wan Yunjun and Zhao Yuan, looking excited.

"Okay, Uncle Wan." Luoluo clapped her little hands and said, "There are fewer people playing with me."

"Atom, you come too, and you." Wan Yunjun said to Zhao Yuan, Shao Meng, Guo Du, Qian Hu and a few others.

"Second brother, you play, I still have something to do." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Cement?"

"yes, that's a lot of confusion." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"It's that hard, didn't you say it well last night?"

"Have you ever heard a word called a word on paper?"

"Okay, so what are you going to do?" Wan Yunjun asked.

"So I have to sort it out, there is no problem with the recruitment of manpower, there is food, there is a lot of need, and then where the cement workshop is built."

"Didn't you say that there is charcoal in your town, it must be built in your town."

"Yes, but you have to think about what it is." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"Uncle Wan, are you going to play with us?" Luoluo, who was on the side, saw Wan Yunjun talking to Zhao Yuan, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"I have something to say to your uncle, in this way, I will go to them to play with you." Wan Yunjun laughed with him, pointed to the four of Qian Hu and said.

"Okay, Uncle Qian, Uncle Shao Meng, Uncle Guo, come and play with us." Although Luoluo was a little disappointed that Zhao Yuan and Wan Yunjun couldn't play together, he still said very sensibly.

"Okay." Qian Hu and others can only participate in Luoluo's games.

"Throw away, throw away the handkerchief......"

The picture, well, is very beautiful, especially the picture of Shao Meng and Qian Hu, a few strong men with very strong looks and beards clapping their hands.

Zhao Yuan took Wan Yunjun to the study, took out the paper that was written and painted yesterday on the cement workshop plan, and began to think about the problems that needed to be solved in every link.

"Yesterday, I didn't realize that there were many processes to be done in this cement." Looking at what was written on the paper, Wan Yunjun sighed.

"If it weren't for Zhang Xucong, the three of them would have been able to invest so happily." Zhao Yuan said.

This can be regarded as a venture capital, but it is completely incomparable with later generations, and the initiator not only invested money, but also occupied only one-fifth of the shares.

"You don't need so many processes to actually produce cement, do you?" Wan Yunjun asked.

"What do you say?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"In fact, it is very simple to say, it is nothing more than to find limestone, clay and a small amount of gypsum, after crushing, mixing according to a certain proportion and calcining in a kiln, you can make cement, calcination requires a large amount of charcoal (coal) with a knife, which also needs to be mined."

"It seems to be very complicated, so you can tell me directly about the things that need to be done by me." Wan Yunjun said.

"I don't know what I need to do to start a workshop, I need to help me with these procedures, second brother, and then there is the purchase of land, not only the land to start a workshop, but also the origin of raw materials, which should be easy to find in our Gray Plains Town, and the price should not be expensive." Zhao Yuan said after thinking about it.

"What about the refugees outside the city, what are you going to do?" Wan Yunjun asked.

"I'm going to take it back to Gray Plains Town, I already have some ideas about the general location of the cement workshop, and the second brother who took these refugees with me will also help me do it." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm going to do a lot of things together?" Wan Yunjun scolded with a smile.

Although the refugees outside the city are a trouble for the county magistrate, they are not something that can be taken away casually, what if someone takes them to stop the rebellion, so you have to find an official, which is equivalent to getting a certificate.

"That's not it, second brother, you still have to help buy food." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

In fact, he said that he wanted Wan Yunjun to help, except that he might need to meet the county master to handle some contract documents, there were not many other things, and the things of buying food could be handed over to his subordinates.

"Okay, what else do you want me to do?"

"I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it when I think of it." Zhao Yuan's scoundrel's way.

"Okay, second brother, I need to design all aspects of the cement workshop, you are free." Zhao Yuan said with a smile to Wan Yunjun.

"Come on, I'm going to play with Luoluo and them." Wan Yunjun shook his head and walked out of the study.

Zhao Yuan took out the pen and paper again, grinding ink while thinking about all aspects of the cement workshop.

Coal, that is, charcoal, should be no problem, the coal in Yakou Village is not buried deeply, and the reserves are also very large, so you only need to dig it out directly and transport it to the cement kiln.

Limestone, there should be a large amount of limestone on Baishi Mountain in Gray Plains Town, but the two places are far away, on the side of Laozhutian Village, and the road does not seem to be easy to walk, and other places do not know if there is such good limestone as Laozhutian Baishi Mountain.

There is a lot of clay, and you can find the Li family, who burns pottery, and should be very familiar with the clay in Gray Plains Town.

What to do with crushing, there are no machines in this era, and if you crush it by manpower, it is not only inefficient, but also prone to danger, so design a machine to crush stones.

"What's so good to use, it's nerve-wracking." Zhao Yuan patted his forehead and said.

"How to build a cement kiln?"

In the whole cement production, the cement kiln is the top priority, and the current conditions are only suitable for building a dry cement kiln, Zhao Yuan combined the knowledge in his mind, and drew the drawings of the cement kiln on paper, refractory materials, sealing and other aspects should be considered.

"It seems that I can't be lazy, this thing is going to be built, and I have to follow up the whole process, so it's best to find some masters who fire ceramics and bricks to help." Zhao Yuan muttered, jotting down the idea of finding someone on the piece of paper on the side.

"The production of cement must first test the effect, if it is feasible, it will also involve the packaging and sales of cement."

"The cement workers still need to be trained, after all, almost all the refugees have little culture, so they have to get used to following orders, after all, digging coal and mining limestone are very dangerous jobs."

With Zhao Yuan's thinking and talking to himself, the construction ideas of the cement workshop gradually became clear, and everything that could be thought of slowly jumped on the paper, and a simple plan slowly took shape according to the order.

"Brother Yuan, it's been a while, have you thought about the cement workshop?" Meng Ying walked into the study, looked at Zhao Yuan, who was immersed in books, and asked.

"It's fine, but I'm tired." Zhao Yuan moved his sore wrist, raised his head and said to Meng Ying.

"Take a break, drink some tea, some stewards from outside the city are here." Meng Ying said.

"Okay, that's pretty much it, let's get out." Zhao Yuan nodded, the registration of refugees outside the city should be completed.
