75. Recent situation in the mining area

"Manager, this is today's output, this month's statistics have also been calculated, although the results have not yet come out, but from the previous daily report, this month's output can increase by about 30% compared to last month, and compared with the same period last year, it should increase by about 2.3 times, congratulations, I am afraid you will become the youngest general manager ever."

Bo Rilang stood in front of Shu Han, with a strong joy on his face, Shu Han sat on the sofa chair, nodded and said: "Very well done, this is not only the result of the efforts of the overseers, but also the result of the efforts of the slaves, Bo Rilang, count the data well, it is best to be more detailed, so that when I go to report, it can be more accurate." ”

"Yes, I'll do it below." Today's Bo Rilang is no longer the chief supervisor, after a month in modern times, and at the end of the day, it has been three months since Shu Han became the deputy general manager, in these three months, the work of the mine has been progressing in an orderly manner, with Shu Han's reform plan in more and more mining areas, the supervisors in these areas have also been promoted because of their own efforts, and the wages of the most grassroots supervisors have also increased many times.

This makes more foreigners willing to join in, and by February, even the local supervisors have joined, after all, no one will be unhappy with the future and money, it can be said that Zhang Song's plan is very smoothly promoted, and Bo Rilang has also stepped down from the position of supervisor during this time, and served as Shu Han's first secretary, responsible for helping Shu Han manage the entire mining area, and now the supervisor of the first mining area is Zhang Song.

This former slave, now climbed to the top of 3,000 people, can be described as a spring breeze, walking is a tiger, looking forward to life, other people's lives have also improved significantly, Shu Han's status in the mining area can be said to be in the sky, after all, it is precisely because of his appearance that they can change their fate.

Even the fate of the entire mining area, the original mining area is inconspicuous in Zhang's assets, although it can provide a large amount of iron ore for Zhang's every year, but there is more production, and the number of people who produce is also more, so the two offset each other, and the money earned is not much, far less than the price of refined iron products, so in Zhang's eyes, smelters, ironworks, and weapons factories are relatively more important, and their level is also higher.

The level of hierarchy naturally determines the status of a subsidiary in the parent company, and the status determines the salary and benefits, a blacksmith worker can have ten gold coins in the Black Iron City a month, while a supervisor leader only has six gold coins, this is the gap.

Because of Shu Han's reform, the output of the iron ore area has increased significantly, and the labor cost has not risen, which has made the profit increase significantly, and the price has dropped significantly.

The mining area under their hands has also been acquired by the Zhang family, and in the Black Iron City, only the Sen family is still able to compete with the Zhang family in the field of iron ore, so that the status of the iron ore area is naturally rising in the Zhang family, and now it is the second industry after the weapon workshop, and its treatment has naturally been improved accordingly.

Such a huge contribution also made Shu Han like a rocket, to the point where he is now the first deputy manager, and now there is news that next month, Shu Han will officially become the general manager of the iron ore mining area, along with many small family mining areas annexed before, will be merged, and at that time, Shu Han will become the director of more than 13,000 people, which can really be described as a snake-like existence.

Such an achievement, even for Shu Han, is enough to be proud, according to his age in this world, he is only fifteen years old, and even according to the modern age, he is only seventeen years old, and he is not yet an adult, the life and death of more than 10,000 chiefs, such a right, pride may not be there, but pride will still be there.

But he also did not forget what the purpose of his return here was, in the past three months, Shu Han actively maintained close contact with Wang Lie through Bo Rilang, Wang Lie has re-adapted to the life of the commando during these three months, in his correspondence with himself, more detailed description of his past in these three months, to explore outside the city, although there is no mission to the ruins, but also let Shu Han have a better understanding of the outside world.

These understandings are far beyond the reach of books, because in the past thirty or forty years, the Black Iron City has pursued a policy of knowledge isolation, and most of the people at the bottom of the world are still in a very backward state, coupled with the hardships of life, it is already so difficult to survive alone, and more people are not interested in understanding the outside.

As for where the danger is, no one knows, and although Shu Han knows more than others, his understanding is also very limited, most of his knowledge is the old yellow calendar from decades ago, and now through Wang Lie, he can more intuitively understand the location of Black Iron City and the forces of the surrounding parties.

According to the description in Wang Liexin, in the north of the Black Iron City, there is a city called Yangcheng, and the city Shuhan has also seen in the paper, in the name of raising black goats, originally supplied the main meat of the Black Iron City, but then a group of winged birdmen blocked the middle road, and then the two sides lost contact.

But according to Wang Lie's description, it seems that now Yangcheng has re-established contact with Black Iron City, and there is already a channel of communication, as for the detailed information, Wang Lie did not say, I think it should be a military secret, and civilians like Shu Han are obviously not qualified to know.

But through his description, Shu Han at least knew that Yangcheng seemed to be a little different from before, this city dominated by animal husbandry, now seems to have a sharp decline in population because of something, in Wang Lie's description, the Yangcheng soldiers who joined them were only twenty or thirty people, and the size of a task force was many times worse than twenty years ago, when there were hundreds of people.

But in terms of equipment, it is very advanced, and even some of them have some firearms, such as bird guns, the most primitive muskets, as for the reason, Wang Lie did not say, but Shu Han guessed one or two, the population decline is estimated to be related to the traffic blockage, Yangcheng provides meat for the Black Iron City, and the Black Iron City provides iron for the Yangcheng, as the traffic between the two sides is cut off, the iron tools of the Yangcheng are greatly reduced, and in the face of the invasion of other cities or species, the resistance naturally declines, and in the past 20 years, the population has decreased sharply, It's quite possible.

As for firearms, maybe they found sulfur, saltpeter and other substances, or they had new contacts with other cities, in any case, this is a new discovery, and according to Wang Lie's letter, maybe in the near future, war may break out, Yangcheng is eager to restore the connection with the Black Iron City, so as to obtain iron as a raw material.

And Black Iron City also has a good reason, after all, meat is a necessity for human survival, during this time, most of the meat in Black Iron City is their own cultivated livestock, their taste is not particularly good, but also full of danger, every year because of eating these people die, there are hundreds, and the black goats in Yangcheng, the quality is fresh and tender, it is said that the taste is very good, in Shu Han's mind, it is probably modern Japanese beef, as for what it is, Shu Han has never eaten it.

In addition, they also hope to be able to establish contact with Yangcheng to facilitate the expansion of human power, at the same time, the birdmen have occupied this passage for such a long time, and now it seems that because of changes in the environment, in the past ten years, the number of birdmen has become less and less, according to the observation of Black Iron City, because it is flying to other regions, this is the best time for the two sides to join forces, and the war is afraid that it will break out in the next two months to half a year.
