Seeing that people's hearts are stable, Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although people in this era are almost illiterate, they are very easy to manage.

There is no need to rush the quarrying work, Zhao Yuan is going to invite Huang Lao stonemason from Zhulin Village, he is the most professional in this aspect before the mining tools are made.

After dinner, everyone who had worked all day fell asleep peacefully in the makeshift sheds, and Zhao Yuan took the futon from the carriage and rested in a shed that was obviously much better.

"Shao Meng, you can arrange the people who keep vigil at night, we have so many people here, and there is so much food." Zhao Yuan arranged.

"Okay, master, I've already arranged for someone to watch it at night, and Guo Du and I will also watch it at night, don't worry."

"Okay, you arrange people according to the middle of the night." Zhao Yuan nodded, and lay down on the bed in the shed, he had been in this era for so long, and he lived in this kind of shed again.

Lying in the shed, Zhao Yuan couldn't sleep for a long time, and in the second half of the night, it began to rain lightly.

Zhao Yuan also got up and checked the camp, and found no problems before continuing to sleep.

In the morning, Zhao Yuan woke up to the noise of children outside the shed.

"There wasn't anything wrong with last night." Zhao Yuan went to the river and asked Shao Meng and the others who were washing by the river.

"There's no problem, it's not drenched in the cold, it's early." Shao Meng replied with a smile.

"Okay." Zhao Yuan nodded and began to wash up by the river.

The origin of the Xisha River is Laoshan, the river water is clear, and it can be used as domestic water, and it is hoped that after the cement workshop is opened, it will not affect the environment of the Xisha River.

Looking at the clear river, Zhao Yuan thought that more than a thousand people lived here, and the toilets had to be standardized.

"One will build a few thatched huts for men and women farther away from the river." Zhao Yuan thought of something, and immediately said to a few stewards on the side.

"Okay, Boss Zhao."

When he was outside Danling County, Zhao Yuan talked about the importance of hygiene, and as the weather became warmer and warmer, it was necessary to pay attention to this aspect.

The logistics team did not need Zhao Yuan's orders, and under the leadership of the steward, they got up early to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan arranged everything to be done here, and after letting several stewards work together, Guo Du drove the carriage and took him home to take a look, while Shao Meng stayed to take care of this side.

The construction of the Baishishan cement workshop will be a long-term job, and some construction work lacks professional talents, so Zhao Yuan thought about going back to find it first, such as the person who built the kiln.

When passing by Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan went to the village for a special trip, the source of coal has to be mined from Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan has to find Wen Jianglang and others to understand the situation in Yakou Village, especially where it is easier to mine coal, and the matter of buying land to mine coal in Yakou Village also needs to be coordinated with everyone.

"Zhao Dongjia has come to our village." As soon as Guo Du drove the carriage and took Zhao Yuan to Yakou Village, some villagers shouted loudly after seeing Zhao Yuan.

"My lord is very popular here." Guo Du said with a smile.

"That's it." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, then got off the carriage and greeted the villagers of Yakou Village.

When passing by Yakou Village yesterday, because he was in a hurry, Zhao Yuan saw that the villagers of Yakou Village were outside and did not say hello.

"Zhao Dongjia, is there any work to do again, I'll call Uncle Lizheng." A young man asked with a smile.

"It's not that my family has a job, but I came to Yakou Village to find you something." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"What's a good thing?"

"Many places in our Yakou Village are black, this is a treasure, I came here for these treasures." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"What a treasure, isn't it just coal, because we are all this thing here, all the land is very poor, and the yield of any crops is very low."

"Don't people dig up the charcoal at home and use it to keep warm?" Zhao Yuan wondered.

The mining and use of coal began as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 1,500 years ago, and at this time, the use of coal should be more extensive.

"There's firewood, whoever burns charcoal, it's a poisonous thing." The young man said, waving his hand.

"Zhao Dongjia, you're here." At this time, Li Zheng heard Jiang Lang come over and saw Zhao Yuan say hello.

"I'm bothering you again." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Don't bother, don't bother, Zhao Dongjia, you are our distinguished guest in Yakou Village." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

"That's right, I want to build a workshop in Baishi Mountain, the old pillar field on the back, and I need the coal produced here in our Yakou Village, and I am going to buy land here to mine coal." Zhao Yuan said hello to everyone and said straight to the point.

"Mining coal in our place, where to use Zhao Dong's family to buy land, whoever has it in the land, just dig it directly." When Wen Jianglang heard Zhao Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

"The land still has to be bought, rest assured, I will mainly occupy some ownerless barren mountains and wasteland, but some places may be connected to everyone's arable land, and these places need to be bought with everyone." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Zhao Dongjia, what's the use of digging this coal?" Wen Jianglang asked solemnly when he heard this.

"Mainly used for fire, Uncle Lizheng, and everyone, I don't hide it from you, this coal, I call it coal, it is of great use to this workshop I opened, it will be troublesome in the future, I still buy this land better, rest assured, the price will definitely not lose everyone, the money to buy the land, will definitely allow everyone to go to other places to buy the same size of land or can buy more land." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Zhao Yuan looked around the villagers of Yakou Village who surrounded him, and heard that the old man was not there, so he should have gone to work in his own house.

"In this way, now we don't know which land you want to buy from the Zhao Dong family, but I say that I have absolutely no problem here." Wen Jianglang said with a smile when he heard this.

"If you want to occupy my family's land, I have no opinion."

"My family too, but Zhao Dongjia, do you need to hire someone to work to mine coal, can we stay and work?"

"yes, can we stay and work?"

"Of course you can, but because my workshop has just started, I'm not the only one who pays for it, and the salary for everyone at the beginning is definitely not as high as when everyone went to help my family." Zhao Yuan said after thinking about it.

Because there are more than 1,000 refugees who can work, the cement workshop has not yet been built, and there is no need for so much labor at first, but in order to buy land here in Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan still promised to ask the villagers of Yakou Village to help with the work, and the salary was not much higher at first.

"What does Zhao Dongjia mean?" Some villagers didn't understand and asked loudly.

"I don't know if you noticed yesterday that a large group of people passed by here, that is some refugees I recruited from the county seat, in order to give them a bite to eat, they began to build a workshop under the white stone mountain in Laozhutian, the beginning of this period, maybe until the end of this year, they are not paid, just let them eat." Zhao Yuan said directly. (To be continued!) ）
