Miners in the iron mine (4)

news of the collapse.

Baron Romero, who was informed of the incident, immediately called Roman when he heard that his eldest son was involved.

"Are there any injuries on your body?"

There is not.

"What on earth were you thinking of doing such a dangerous thing? The collapse accident is a natural disaster that even the Aura swordsman cannot stand up for. Fortunately, the results were so good that you were able to survive like this, but because of your reckless courage, I almost lost my son. This is not just because you are the eldest son of the Dmitry family. If other workers in the iron mines had made the same decision as you, I would not have allowed one life to be put at risk to save another."

Baron Romero expressed concern and anger.

Because I was once in the position of a worker.

I knew how dangerous Roman was.

"Father, I just did what I had to do."

"Roman!"

"Turning back time doesn't change my decision. There was an accident in the iron mine, and I was on site just in time to fix it. Does your father want the eldest son of the Dmitry family to ignore Young Ji-min's difficulties? We don't think we can always do only safe things in life. As someone who bears Dmitry's last name, I think I made the right choice."

" Huh."

Baron Romero let out a sigh.

Even though my heart was sinking at his son's risky decision, it was a delight to see his righteous son.

Before being the master of Dmitry.

he was the father

said Baron Romero.

"So, are you planning to continue working in the iron mines?"

Yes.

"What is the reason? I never told you to work in an iron mine, and I can't understand why you made that choice. If you say you'd rather work in a blacksmith's shop, I wouldn't bother stopping you.

iron mines and forges.

It was the part where Baron Romero's thoughts were revealed.

He treated the workers in the iron mines with respect, but as he was a blacksmith, he had no choice but to bend his arms inward.

finally.

He wanted his son to show interest in the forge.

At least if you were the owner of Dmitry, you should know how to handle steel rather than how to mine iron ore.

father. I thought that in order to understand Dmitry, I had to work in an iron mine. Although Dmitry has built a reputation for his smelting skills at the forge, in the end, it is the iron mines where most of the land's inhabitants work for a living. So, of course, we had no choice but to go to the iron mines, not the blacksmiths."

"So what did you get?"

"I was able to see for myself what difficulties people were going through."

it's difficult

It was an unexpected answer.

Baron Romero did not know that his son was trying to figure out the hardships of the people in the iron mines.

"Keep talking."

"All the workers in the iron mines respect their father. They pay higher salaries compared to other areas, and the proper rest and safety system doesn't seem like a big deal on the surface. However, mining is a risk-taking business, even when managing safety. It is a place where you never know when an earthquake will cause the tunnels to collapse, and if a collapse like today is not common, it will happen if you will forget it."

"I don't know that either. But, as you said, being prepared is not something that can be prevented."

natural disaster.

There is a reason for expressing it that way.

People called the accident in the iron mine a natural disaster because it could not be prevented by manpower.

Baron Romero did his best.

But that's it.

Roman decided that a result was necessary.

"I have a way to solve the problem."

"What is it?"

working in an iron mine.

Roman thought a lot.

And after experiencing the accident firsthand, I came to a conclusion.

"It is the use of magical artefacts. That is the only way for workers to work safely."

magical artifacts.

Perhaps you are talking about artifacts.

Baron Romero thought that his son was truly without a sense of reality.

"The intention to use magical artifacts for safety is good. But what do you think the artifacts cost? It is not a problem that can be solved with a dozen gold. It costs an astronomical amount to protect the entire tunnel as a magical artifact, and we are not philanthropists throwing money in the sky."

That's right.

mine.

It is a means to make money.

It is to hire workers with a clear purpose, and you cannot spend more money for safety than the money you earn to protect them.

This is a different matter from the lord's mercy.

If the navel is bigger than the belly, no matter how rich Dmitry is, it will eventually collapse.

said Roman.

I know. To prepare for a collapse accident, you must install an artifact that forms an air shield in an emergency, and the cost is unpredictable whether it will cost hundreds of gold or thousands of gold. Moreover, the performance of artifacts is not permanent. If the magic loses its effectiveness and becomes ineffective, it costs astronomical sums to spend on replacing it again."

"Are you saying that it is still necessary?"

Yes. Now I will explain why."

Measures for safety.

It wasn't idealism.

Roman was a very realistic person, and he spoke out because he decided that it would be practically beneficial.

"I heard this from a veteran miner working in an iron mine. Dmitry says he has the best iron mines on the continent, with the highest reserves and quality, but cannot fully utilize them due to safety concerns. If the safety of the workers was not taken into consideration. It would have created enough wealth at the expense of people. But my father did not do that, and in return for the utmost safety, we had no choice but to face the real problem of declining iron ore production."

good lord

However, he was not an outstanding lord.

If Baron Romero was greedy, he had to find a better way to trade.

"Installing artifacts is not a matter of just being safe. If the safety of workers is ensured by installing artifacts. Naturally, the production of iron mines is bound to rise. And for safety reasons, we have been limiting the number of people and development in iron mines, but since we installed the artifacts, there is no need for that. This is the opportunity cost. Even if it costs an astronomical amount to install an artifact, it's not a loss if you make more money than before."

Not only that.

one more.

Roman had a wish.

"And we need to have people dedicated to safety. Why not make a sure investment in them, check their safety every day, and use some of the resulting increase for the welfare of the workers again? This is an investment that induces a virtuous cycle. Dad will spend a lot of money on this, but the budget will definitely benefit Dmitry greatly."

family investment.

That was Roman's real purpose.

Not just for the safety of people, Roman hid his intentions under a good cause.

As Baron Romero, he had no choice but to know the truth.

Because it was such a perfect argument.

Baron Romero, who had been contemplating for a while, looked at his son proudly and said:

okay. How much can I invest?"

30 minutes ago.

"From now on, I will go to my father, get a budget for safety, and recommend you, Morkan, as the person in charge of managing the safety of the iron mine exclusively. You worked in the iron mines for many years. He knows the iron mines better than anyone else, so I think he will do his job well enough."

Roman's plan.

It was perfect.

Just hearing the word about installing the Artifact made Morkan's heart pound.

However.

Knowing Roman's intention to gain a practical advantage, I thought he would definitely ask for a price.

" May I ask for conditions?"

"What I am asking is clear. As a safety officer, watch people every day and ask what happened to them. It doesn't have to be a big deal. While exchanging small talk, remember what you saw and heard from them in your head, and record all the information you deem necessary. Maybe people will tell you a lot. If I use the budget I get for the welfare of people, they will try to confide in everything inside. Part of the budget may be rewarded to those who give valuable information in the process. Instead of using the Dmitry family money to protect the safety of the workers, I want to get 'information' through you."

Information.

That was Roman's real purpose.

The iron mine is Dmitry itself.

Many people work in iron mines, so information about Dmitry has no choice but to gather in iron mines.

That's the start.

If you trade information through Morkan.

People will be eager to give you good information.

First he tells his story, then his family or people around him, and if he hears interesting stories on the street, he will report them all to Morkan.

It couldn't be considered cheating.

As Roman told his father, in exchange for welfare benefits, he simply listened to people.

Yes.

With his father's money, for a very utilitarian cause, Roman wanted to embody the information power of Haomen in this world.

Moorim.

There are two groups that have earned a reputation for their ability to manipulate information in a world of weak and savagery.

Open and Haomen.

The two had something in common.

In the case of openness, beggars everywhere in the world gathered information by listening to people's stories, whereas in Haomun, vulnerable social groups such as Zhu Lu's Soyi opened their ears and gathered information.

It meant one thing.

Unlike those in power who keep their heads up, people everywhere in the world can see and hear a lot of information regardless of type.

blast furnace.

Roman chose the workers of the iron mines.

They were all of Dmitry, and through their link, they could seize the information in the northeast area.

The workforce is workers.

The wealth is in his father's pocket.

That doesn't mean that no one loses.

Workers can create safety and money, and fathers can create more wealth with increased production.

It was truly a win-win.

It was a plan everyone was happy with, so neither father nor Morkan turned down Roman's offer.

nevertheless.

Roman was not satisfied.

'It's still not enough.'

The information guild that Roman thinks is not limited to the northeast area.

Furthermore.

I hoped to gather information from the continent.

The mother body is in Dmitry's iron mine, but he hoped that his budget and manpower would expand and form a force like Haomen.

so that.

Roman had additional thoughts.

'Morkan is not a professional handling of information. In the end, you need someone who can organize the information you received from him, and further link with the top of Dmitry to collect information from outside the northeast area. The person in charge must be a person who can calculate quickly and realistically, unlike Morkan. A veteran who has experienced everything before and after birth. Only such a person will be able to bring the information guild I envision into reality.'

Only one.

There was a suitable person.

Roman called a man.

he's right

"Did you call?"

I passed this enlisted recruitment.

It was a B-class mercenary Lucas.
