60Miners in the iron mine (2)
There was only one reason why Morkan was prejudiced..
He said he wasn't usually interested in iron mines..
I don't know why he came forward to work, but Roman's behavior didn't look very nice..
‘You know the miners' work in a funny way. We sweat and sweat every day and dedicate our lives to the iron mine for a living, but Roman Dmitry is setting out to work as if he were on a picnic. If he had gone to the blacksmith with that mindset, he would have been very scolded by the blacksmith's master, Hendrick..’
Jacob was a finite man.
I didn't like the way he accepted Roman, nor did Roman show up to work..
First day.
Morkan was acting irritable..
I deliberately worked around the point where Roman worked, and watched him whenever he had time to see if he was doing something different..
However, Roman worked more diligently than expected..
Although I thought he would just pretend to work and make jokes, Roman worked hard and met his quota just like the other workers..
It was unexpected.
You work so sincerely.
Although I occasionally caught them chatting, it wasn't really a big problem..
‘Did you really come to the iron mine to help with the work? Or, did Lord Dmitry ask you to go through the same hardships as us for the purpose of training your successor? The former cannot understand the reason, and the latter is something that has never been shown before. Rodwell Dmitry, the second son of the Dmitry family, has worked hard at the blacksmith shop since he was young, but has never once shown his face in the iron mine. He did something that even his likely successor did not do, and only now he wonders why Dmitry is doing this.?’
It was so strange.
No matter how much I think about it.
It was a purposeless move..
At first, I thought it was simply a successor class, but that didn't completely resolve my doubts..
Then one day.
Morkan heard something shocking..
“I heard from a servant working in the main castle that Lord Dmitry never ordered Roman Dmitry to work in the iron mines? I don't know why Roman Dmitry goes through so much trouble, but at least I don't think it's an unintentional decision..”
What people around me say.
It was shocking.
It's not intentional.
I had been looking at Roman with a prejudiced gaze, but as soon as I heard those words, I saw Roman differently..
‘……how.’
one week.
Roman was very sincere..
He got along well with the workers without any quirks, and not a single person was dissatisfied with Roman's work attitude..
It was instantaneous for the dissatisfaction expressed on the first day to subside..
Since they put aside their social status, eat the same food, and work the same way, it was impossible to dislike them unless they had malicious intent..
reputation has changed.
I heard Roman Dmitry is better than I thought..
Whenever people gathered in groups, they glanced at Roman and spoke, and their attitudes also became more favorable..
In such a situation.
Morkan could not bear the question..
Dmitry's three successors.
Among them, I wanted to find out what purpose and thoughts Roman Dmitry, the only one who visited the iron mine, had..
like that.
“Can I ask you one thing??”
Morkan approached Roman for the first time..
Question about purpose.
Roman looked at Morkan and said.
“What do you want to hear: an ideal answer or a realistic answer??”
It was a different reaction than expected.
I thought he would explain the reason in detail, but Morkan was troubled by the choice that appeared as if he had been waiting for it..
Ideal and reality.
Morkan wanted to know everything.
“Can't you tell me both??”
“Then let me start with the ideal answer..”
Ideal).
As I said to Hans, those were such sweet words..
“Dmitry is a mining city. Just as the residents of Lawrence's territory make a living through agriculture, the residents of Dmitry's territory make their living by working in iron mines. So I wanted to experience people’s daily lives firsthand. What does it mean to live as Dmitri’s person? I wanted to understand people through dead knowledge that I only knew from afar and through statistics, so I wanted to know the reality by working with them in person..”
“……Is it really necessary??”
“need. Since my last name is Dmitry, this is something I must do..”
Roman's answer.
It was ideal.
It was something I really wanted to hear from the leader, and for an instant, my guard against Roman seemed to completely relax..
then.
What is the realistic answer??
“The practical reason comes from the fact that I am not Dmitry's owner. Even though Dmitry has amassed a great deal of wealth, it is not mine, it is his father's. So I plan to find out how much wealth Dmitry has amassed, exactly how he works, and what I, as Dmitry's eldest son, can do in the process..”
“What does that mean? If your father is Dmitri's master, then isn't this land also yours after all??”
“no.”
father and son.
between blood relatives.
However, that doesn't mean you inherit everything from your father..
Jeondae Cheonma had twelve children..
He passed on his background as a descendant of the Heavenly Demon to his son, but in order to achieve something, he had to achieve it himself..
I knew then.
Even rich people are ultimately strangers..
In order to get as much of what belonged to one's father as one wanted, a reasonable price was needed..
“Let me ask you. If I were to ask my father for a few hundred gold now, how would the Lord Dmitry you know act??”
“Of course you will ask why. Hundreds of gold is not a small amount of money..”
“That's why I visited the iron mine. If you are looking for something you can do for Dmitry in his daily life. I have the right to legitimately demand ‘my share’ from my father. That is not only a privilege as a son, but it is also a way to directly claim my rights. I need a lot of money and people for the things I plan to do in the future. My decision is to use my father's background and financial resources rather than trying to build it one by one from scratch..”
It was an overly honest answer..
The ideal is just the ideal.
Roman was honest and made it clear that he had a purpose..
Really.
Morkan couldn't help but burst into laughter at the absurdly cheeky answer..
“Hahahaha, that was the reason. In order to rightfully claim what was his father's, he had to pay a high price. I really didn't even think about it. I simply thought that Master Roman had come to the iron mine for the purpose of training his successor, but I did not understand Master Roman's deeper meaning..”
He laughed so hard that his uvula was exposed..
Roman's answer.
I could feel bad.
In the end, it was meant to take advantage of the work at the iron mine, but Morkan interpreted Roman's words in a different way..
‘Master Roman came to the iron mine, not the blacksmith shop, to do work for Dmitri. That means that the work our miners do is so important that they thought it was worth working for, even getting covered in dust on purpose. Good. If that's what you mean, there's no reason to stop you..’
Recognizing their worth.
That was enough.
Miners wanted public approval.
Unknowingly, dissatisfaction with the discriminatory treatment had built up, and it was vented when she met Roman..
however.
Roman recognizes the value of the iron mine and will utilize it..
How nice to hear.
For this reason, Morkan was willing to be used as much as he wanted..
Morkan said.
“So what are you curious about? I will answer everything to the best of my knowledge..”
From day one until now.
This was the moment when Morkan, who had always been hostile, let go of his heart for the first time..
From then on the conversation went smoothly..
Roman asked many questions..
reserves of iron ore.
daily production.
And methods of production and distribution, etc..
Morkan faithfully answered endless questions..
“People say that Dmitry's iron mine is the largest in the kingdom. But in reality, it is much more than that; it can easily be said to be the largest on the continent. The Kingdom of Cairo is located in the northeast of the continent, and in particular, Dmitry is located at the northeast corner. People call Dmitry the end of the continent, but it's actually different. The numerous mountain ranges that exist beyond the northeast did not allow people to enter, so people had no choice but to divide the border based on Dmitry. And those mountains are the source of Dmitry's wealth. Because it was an unknown world, we did not overdo it, but from what we found, there are dozens of iron mines that have not yet been developed..”
It was amazing information.
beyond the northeast.
The place called the Endless Mountain Range could be said to be the source that made Dmitri what he is today..
numerous iron mines.
top grade iron ore.
And the technology to process it.
Dmitry had no choice but to accumulate wealth..
I knew that the scale of wealth was great..
But this was beyond my imagination.
‘A wealthy person in the northeastern region. People say that Dmitry's wealth is endless, but even that does not fully capture Dmitry's potential. So, if I offer a just cause and price, it means that my father has the ability to fully support it..’
Morkan's words are not over..
When asked about daily production, the answer was as follows:.
“In fact, Dmitry's production is not very high compared to the conditions he has. That's why they don't sell iron ore, the working conditions are too dangerous. As we try to work stably, the speed inevitably slows down, which directly leads to a drop in production..”
“From my experience, I think they have sufficient safety facilities..”
“you're right. Lord Dmitry has given us a lot of support to make our work as safe as possible, but mining is still dangerous. The mountain ranges in the northeast are subject to occasional earthquakes. Every time, the tunnel might collapse, so we can't go deep, and if an accident actually occurs, we have no choice but to stop work for several days. But this is not the kind of problem that can be solved. How can a mere human prevent a natural disaster??”
It was a real problem.
Even though Dmitry had the best conditions, he was unable to utilize them perfectly due to safety issues..
And that's.
It was the kind of answer Roman had been waiting for..
safety issues.
It was an attractive point.
Roman asked.
“if. If we solve the safety issue, Dmitry will gain some benefit.?”
“I can't say for sure, but I am confident that production can increase by at least 50% compared to now. The reason why excessive personnel are not deployed in iron mines is because they cannot be responsible for safety. Because we sent just as many people as we could manage into the mine shaft and were always careful to ensure safety, production could not keep up with reserves. Looking at things like that, Lord Dmitry is a truly amazing person. Even though there are practical benefits at hand, the safety of workers is the top priority..”
As Morkan said.
Baron Romero was a good man.
If he were an evil lord, he would push his manpower into the mine shaft, whether or not people would die in an unfortunate accident..
but.
Baron Romero was different..
did not covet excessive wealth.
He was satisfied with reality and valued his people..
Miners like Morkan.
Even though they knew that their work was dangerous, and even though their dissatisfaction was building up inside them due to trivial discrimination with the blacksmith, the reason they always worked without expressing their dissatisfaction was because of their gratitude to Baron Romero..
‘found. What can I do for Dmitry?.’
Chronic problems in iron mines.
If he can solve it, Dmitry could benefit greatly..
It was then.
Kwaang!
Rumbling.
I heard the sound of something collapsing somewhere..
sign of disaster.
As the sound implied, Morkan's expression turned pale..
