At its peak, there were 20,000 registered workers at Weishanhu Coal Mine. But gradually, some people couldn't bear this hardship, and some people continued to quit the ranks of miners.

Of course, new workers were recruited, but in general, more people were leaving than they were coming.

Workers and peasants are different. Not to mention the technical content, let's just say that the working hours are different.

A worker cannot be like a farmer who farms the land and wants to get up at what time and what time to get up. Then the factory was already yellow.

You have to go to work, even if you sleep soundly, you have to get up.

What's more, on the coal mine, because Qin Mu got electricity, three shifts were implemented, so the work was doubly hard - the night shift was much more uncomfortable than the day shift.

At first, everyone was trying for a high salary, but gradually some people couldn't stand it anymore, and they didn't do it anymore no matter how much money they had.

They gradually withdrew from the factory, but did not leave Weishan Lake, but continued to earn a living around the Weishan Lake Coal Mine. Because there is already a formed market town here, Weishanhu Town, the living conditions are hundreds of times stronger than the ordinary villages of the Great Song Dynasty.

If nothing else, this fast food is nowhere else.

Basically, all of these people began to eat in the Weishanhu Coal Mine.

But after eating enough, I don't want to suffer. They had some money in their hands, so they began to do all kinds of business in Weishanhu Town.

In this way, the coal mine has experienced a natural wave of sand, and although the number of miners is small, all those who remain are capable and diligent.

The lazy guys are basically eliminated.

There are probably more than 12,000 registered workers in the coal mine, not all miners, but also workers in various affiliated factories.

For example, rattan factories. Workers here are also counted.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, a notice suddenly came from above, saying that each brigade should elect a representative to go to Wujiazhuang to participate in the commendation meeting.

There are several requirements that must be met by this representative.

The first is a formal coal miner - the newcomers who have not been regularized are not counted, and the qualifications are not enough.

The second is to represent the ability of the miner - this one is actually very simple, just look at the monthly salary. Miners' wages are linked to the amount of work they work each day. Do more and take more, there is no egalitarianism in the coal mine.

But this article does not mean that the representative is the one with the highest salary in the brigade - then what else to choose, just go directly to the first place. This is a requirement for the candidate's salary to rank within the top five.

The third is to be able to unite with one's peers.

This point is the most unobjective, what does it mean to be able to unite with peers? The big guy didn't quite understand what to do. However, the above also gives a solution.

In this selection, a few candidates are listed, everyone votes, each person takes a soybean, walks up to the companion he recognizes as a representative, and throws the soybean into the rattan basket in front of him.

The last soybean grains, the one with the most, is the representative of this brigade.

Wu Dalang is a member of the Eighth Brigade, and he only works weekdays, and he is polite to everyone. No matter who is in trouble, he will definitely help if he can help.

He treats the old team members with great respect, and when he takes the new workers, he always does more by himself, so that the new workers can get familiar with the working environment first.

In the long run, although everyone has some resentment towards his daughter-in-law, there is less and less resentment towards Wu Dalang himself.

This time, he got the most soybeans and became the only representative of the eight teams.

"Wulu, when you arrive in Wujiazhuang, fight for our team, don't be ashamed. Let your lady rip you a new outfit, don't go out in tatters. The captain grabbed Wu Dalang's hand and instructed earnestly.

As the captain of the brigade, he manages more than a hundred people under his command. Ten people is a squad, and Wulu is now the leader of the eighth squad.

"Captain, well, I'm not going to embarrass our team. I asked my mother-in-law to make me new clothes. Wu Lu nodded honestly.

"Wulu, let me tell you. The place in Wujiazhuang, don't look at the name is a Zhuangzi, but that place is by no means a Tuzhuangzi. That's," said the captain, lowering his voice, "a good place that can't even be compared to the palace." You'll be able to open your eyes this time. ”

In the coal mine, Wujiazhuang has long been rumored to be a paradise.

The workers all felt that the people in Wujiazhuang were all gods, and that place was full of good things. So good that they can't even think of it.

Because many of them have seen airplanes - although Qin Mu drove the plane and did not land, but in the early days of the coal mine, he deliberately turned around the coal mine two or three times, just to break the mystery of the workers.

Otherwise, when they saw the electric light, they would not have fled.

After seeing airplanes, at least I am no longer afraid of electric lights.

However, the sequelae of this incident is that the workers of the coal mine mystified Wujiazhuang.

And they can't be blamed for that. Because of Weishanhu Town, Weishanhu Coal Mine, the entire management class here is from Wujiazhuang, and they bring almost a whole new world.

Even if Zhe Meiluan does not often appear in front of the workers, he will always take a walk around the factory from time to time to take a look. And Fang Haoyin has been sitting in the Weishanhu Coal Mine for a long time - there is a coal mine hospital here.

In the eyes of the workers, these two people are fairies in the sky, not to mention that there is no such beautiful lady in ten miles and eight towns, even in the palace, there will be no one.

And they are all from Wujiazhuang.

What's more, in addition to the two fairies, there are also the Guards Regiment, as well as Guo Ting and her subordinates, everything is mysterious and beautiful.

The captain did not participate in the selection of workers' representatives, so he did not have the opportunity to go to Wujiazhuang this time. Because of this, while envying Wu Lu, he continued to advise: "Wu Lu, listen well, listen to what Young Master Qin says and what he says." ”

Wu Lu continued to nod honestly.

The factory has been in operation for so long that most of the workers can guess who the real owner of the mine is.

"Also, there are prizes for the workers' representatives. You received the prize, take it back to us first, don't sneak it home, just show it to your mother-in-law. ”

"Well, I'll take it back to the mine and show everyone first."

The same selection is not only carried out at Weishan Lake. In Qin Mu's various territories, all units are engaged in selection activities.

Qingzhou Petroleum is also selected by workers' representatives.

The workers here are the former Liangshan minions, but after such a long period of labor, they have completely shed their gangsterism and become qualified industrial workers - this also has to admire Chai Jin's ability.

It was precisely because Chai Jin had a smart mind and bright eyes that he could understand everything Qin Mu wanted in the shortest possible time, so he was able to catch up with such a group of former bandits on the path drawn by Qin Mu.

Sometimes Qin Mu also had to admire Chai Jin. Royal descendants, sure enough, not for nothing.

Weishanhu Coal Mine, Qingzhou Petroleum, and Shunfeng Logistics were all selected by worker representatives, and then they set off to gather in Wujiazhuang.

On the Fuzhou side, in addition to the workers' representatives, there is also a selection of peasant representatives.

This peasant representative did not exist in other places, because Qin Mu did not lay down the grain-producing areas in other places.

Zhou Zhian was fortunate to become a farmer representative. Now he is following the large army, regardless of the cold of winter, with a fiery heart, stepping on the ground of Wujiazhuang.

This is the princess's in-laws!

Zhou Zhian was deeply grateful to Yu Liyan, the princess of Liao. This time, I was able to visit the princess's in-laws' house, and for him, it was a pilgrimage feeling.

The thinking of the peasants is very simple. Even if the princess is a fairy, she is a woman, so she has to marry. The person the princess marries must be a male fairy with more great power.

This idea is very common in Fuzhou and Yongbyon, and basically representatives from the northwest, whether workers or farmers, want to visit the princess's in-laws.

Sure enough, this place is different, if nothing else, this is the road, and there is no such easy way to walk in the world.

Of course, Qin Mu didn't have the ability to pave asphalt roads, nor did he make cement, so there were no cement roads.

But Qin Mu built a brick factory. This thing does not need the technology of later generations, and this time and space can fully support it - the Great Song Dynasty is not without bricks and tiles.

The production of this brick and tile factory has never stopped, but because Qin Mu is too busy, this factory is regarded as Qin Mu's shareholding, and the majority of the employees are outside.

With this brick and tile factory, which also has some technical improvements brought by Qin Mu from later generations, the road in Wujiazhuang has completely bid farewell to dirt roads.

Under Qin Mu's planning, Wujiazhuang became more and more similar to the county seat of later generations - because there were no high-rise buildings, it could not be said to be a big city.

The whole road of Wujiazhuang is paved with blue bricks of water. Below are the various underlayments. Layer upon layer of flake stone, gravel, sand, ordinary soil, plus a water-stabilized layer - of course, because there is no cement, it cannot be completely compared to later generations, but in the Great Song Dynasty, this is already a unique and over-sized road.

On both sides of the road, there are greenery. Of course, because it was winter, it was completely bare and had no leaves.

Qin Mu didn't have time to look for a tree like holly, so he replaced it with a willow tree - there are many trees nearby, just transplant them.

At each fork in the road, there are also road signs indicating directions. It's a pity that Zhou Zhian can't read and doesn't know what is written on it.

He could only follow the large army and advance under the guidance of the guide.

Zhou Zhian looked around to see the freshness, lit a cigarette, and just took two puffs, and a man dressed in colorful clothes came over next to him - a sanitation worker wearing a "sanitation" vest.

Sanitation workers were also set up by Zhe Mei Luan – an experience she learned in Yongbyon. It is precisely because of this that Wujiazhuang's manpower is squeezed very much. Even old men and old ladies can do cleaning.

The lady gave money to let the old man go out to clean, of course they were willing - there was money to be made!

"Well, hey, you're talking about you. Smoking. The old man's legs and feet were not good, so he hurriedly caught up with Zhou Zhi'an: "It's okay to smoke, but cigarette butts are not allowed to be thrown around." Throw one and fine ten big bucks! ”

Zhou Zhian was taken aback. The rules in this place are too big. I can't throw away cigarette butts, so let me eat them?

"Did you see that basket?" The old man pointed to the side of the street and said, "After smoking, extinguish the cigarette butt and throw it there." Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't listen to the persuasion, you won't be able to run away from the real fine. ”

Zhou Zhi'an nodded again and again. He didn't dare to throw away the cigarette butts even if he ate them, and the asking price was too ruthless. With a trembling hand, ten big bucks were gone. It's got a few eggs!

Representatives from all over the world continued to gather in Wujiazhuang, folding Meiluan against the list, and constantly arranging various matters.

This time there were quite a few delegates. Weishanhu alone sent one hundred and five people—in addition to the workers' representatives, but also the representatives of the management—but at Qin Mu's behest, they were all workers' representatives.

There were also many representatives from other places.

There were twenty-two people in Liangshan, thirty-one in Qingzhou, and more in the northwest, and there were fifty workers and peasant representatives together.

At this meeting, the number of delegates exceeded 200.

This is a conference in the broad sense of the word, not within the New World Group. In addition to these representatives, some outsiders will also participate.

For example, the father and son of the Ren family, and then the doctor Xu, as well as the *** who came here to coincide with his meeting, and so on.

As Qin Mu's de facto housekeeper, Zhe Meiluan can't help but make overall arrangements and plan all aspects of matters. Accommodation, catering, management, venue. One by one, big and small, all of them were circling in her mind.

Fortunately, there is a baby computer, otherwise Zhe Meiluan feels that she will not be able to complete this task at all.

She couldn't help but think about what she would do without a computer!
