It was June, the weather in Shu was unusually hot, and I was sweating profusely in the cement workshop, and my body was sticky and very uncomfortable at this time.

The fine sand river flowing under Baishi Mountain, because of the frequent rain in summer, the river water rose a lot, in a pond dug out by the river, Zhao Yuan jumped in to clean it, and then let Shao Meng and a few people drive the carriage towards the house.

The road from Lao Zhutian to the market, after everyone repaired and widened, has now become the best road in Gray Plains Town, and Zhao Yuan is also planning to harden this road in the future.

The road was sprinkled with burnt cinders, and the whole road did not look very muddy because of the rain, and the horse-drawn carriage walked on the road, and the wheels creaked over the cinders.

Yakou Village has also changed a lot now, and the open-pit coal mine has made the originally darker village even darker. In the hot weather, the temperature in Yakou Village seems to be a little higher than in other places.

The coal mines in Yakou Village have been roughly explored, mainly concentrated in a few mountain packs in front of the village, and judging from the current mining situation, the reserves in the surface layer do not seem to be very large.

Because of the backward mining methods, Zhao Yuan knew that there were many problems in the coal mine, so Zhao Yuan asked everyone to use open-pit mining.

Over the course of several months, the soil on the surface of several hills had been completely dug up, and the mud and rocks had been transported to the side of the road, filling in the narrow road.

"Zhao Dong's family went home?" The villagers digging coal in Yakou Village were busy in the coal mine with their arms exposed, and when they saw Zhao Yuan, they said hello.

"Go back, where is Uncle Lizheng?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"He should be at home."

"It's too hot, you guys should take a break after working for a while." Zhao Yuan nodded and walked towards the village.

Zhao Yuan attaches great importance to the labor insurance of the owners of the cement workshop, and when he passed by Yakou Village and saw the situation of the coal mine, Zhao Yuan was ready to find Wen Jianglang to talk about the workers' heatstroke prevention.

At present, the workers who are mining coal in the coal mines, except for some people recruited from the county seat, are all villagers from Yakou Village and Dongquan Village, and they continue to provide coal for the cement workshop.

In the whole cement workshop, the workers who mine coal and quarry should be the hardest, because the mining tools are very primitive. Coal, limestone, clay mines, and iron ore are the four places that spend the most manpower.

Zhao Yuan found Wen Jianglang and checked the summer measures prepared for everyone in the village, so that everyone could find a place to cool down after working for a while, and prepare light salt water for everyone to replenish water at any time, and some simple shade sheds could be built a little more.

"Don't worry, Zhao Dongjia, I know that your workshop protects everyone well, and we have been strictly following the regulations here." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

Working under Zhao Yuan, the most comfortable thing for everyone is Zhao Yuan's respect for everyone, whether it is going to his house or going to work in the workshop under his hands, Zhao Yuan always adheres to the people-oriented principle and puts personal safety first.

Although Zhao Yuan didn't spend a lot of time watching everyone work, everyone was very dedicated, and the various systems of the workshop were implemented very well, which was also after Zhao Yuan was familiar with the work to be done, and he could take time out to do other things.

"I'll tell you the good news, the production of the cement workshop has been basically successful." Zhao Yuan nodded and said to the group of people around him.

"Great, everyone has a string in their hearts during this time, and now we can put it down." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

The cement workshop is too big in the eyes of Wen Jianglang and others, a large workshop with more than 1,000 people, which is unprecedented in Gray Plains Town.

After checking around Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan was very satisfied with the coal mining in Yakou Village, although the quality of the coal here is not very good, but it is not a big problem to use it to burn cement.

"Uncle Lizheng, please watch a little more here." Walking to the entrance of Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan said with a smile to Wen Jianglang, who sent him.

"Zhao Dongjia, don't worry, I promise that there is no problem here, and I will urge everyone to strictly implement the regulations you have formulated." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

The owner who thinks about the people who work below is so much more than what else will make everyone work unsatisfied.

Saying goodbye to the villagers of Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan and his party continued to walk towards Xiaheba's house.

Stepping out of the cement workshop, Zhao Yuan thought it was time to arrange some general trends in this era.

In this month, Chai Rong, the most outstanding Ming monarch of the ten countries during the Five Dynasties period, passed away. During the reign of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, a new round of repairs and reforms were implemented in the country, and the latter Zhou was governed by him very prosperous and stable. Externally, the reconquest of many territories and territories has brought the rear axis into the heyday of this era. This also laid a solid foundation for the unification of the Song Dynasty after Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, and after Zhou Zhiding was taken.

Zhao Yuan sat in the carriage with the open shed, facing the somewhat hot wind, and his thoughts flew to the Later Zhou, Southern Tang and even Shudu and other places in this era, thinking about how to move forward with the tide in the general trend of history and live freely.

"Master, I'm almost home." In Zhao Yuan's thoughts, Guo Du and the four of them drove the carriage to the ground where there were already ears of wheat.

"It's here, the wheat is almost ripe." Zhao Yuan sighed.

"It should be another month before the wheat can be harvested." Shao Meng nodded and said to Zhao Yuan.

"Time flies, and the wheat grows like this."

The wheat in this piece of Zhao Yuan's house is growing very well, originally under the river dam, after removing the stones and stones above, the river mud that has been deposited below for many years is very fertile, coupled with Zhao Yuan's scientific planting of wheat, the wheat yield of this large area this year should be much higher than that in Zhaojiazhuang.

"Yes, before we knew it, we had been at my master's house for many months." Shao Meng sighed.

"I've always said that I want you to go home and have a look when you have time, but the family is always so busy, and you haven't been able to make the trip." Zhao Yuan said apologetically to a few people.

"It's okay, sir, there are other brothers and sisters in our family, and it's okay if we don't go back, and most of the wages that my lord gave us have been helped back by people from the family." Shao Meng waved his hand and said.

"Now that I have a certain foundation here, I can take turns to go home and have a look." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry to go back, senior brother." Guo Du said with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry, when I used to learn martial arts, we only went back almost once a year." Xu Xiang said with a smile.

"You look at the arrangement, just leave one person to watch the guards, and it's very unsafe on the way back now, it's best to follow the caravan of the Wan family." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and let Shao Meng and the others look at the arrangement by themselves.
