Chapter 194: Travel
Ades opened the door a little helplessly, and outside the door was Molly, and she entered the door to find that the atmosphere in the temporary alchemy research room seemed to be a little weird, especially Yunni, whose eyes were watery and her little face was red. ∮ ∮ ∮ little ∮ said,
She turned her eyes and pretended not to know anything, and said to Ades: "When you came to the real yàn room, I read the information of those fiefdom nobles in detail again, and it turned out that I found a special situation. ”
Seeing that she was coming over to talk about business, Ades looked at Winnie quietly, took Molly's words, and asked, "What is the special situation?"
"Half a year ago, the copper mine that Barony Scott had been mining for more than 100 years was shut down because of the exhaustion of resources, but as we all know, when this mine was discovered, because it produced a rich ore with very high copper content, and the output was particularly large, and the area of the vein was also very amazing, everyone thought it was a rich mine. ”
Ades didn't understand a little, so he asked, "What's so strange about that? After digging for so long, it will be finished?"
Molly walked up to Yunnie and put her arm around her, and continued: "It's impossible to finish digging, if it's a bonanza, how can it be dug in just a hundred years, at least for hundreds of years." ”
Winnie didn't understand what they were talking about, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Molly explained a few words to her in a low voice, briefly explained the cause and effect, and then turned to Ades and said, "This copper mine in Barony Scott is an associated mine, which produces not only copper, but also silver and gold. Gold, in particular, has large reserves. I think it's a little strange to say that the mine is gone. So I collected a little bit of information. ”
Adès and Yunnie understood that Molly must have discovered something, so they were in a hurry to find them, so they asked in unison, "What did you find?"
Molly raised her chin slightly, and said with a little smugness: "The result is that I found out that there is a situation in this copper mine." "That little appearance is clearly saying to everyone, come and praise me, come and ask me how I look.
Ades asked with some amusement: "What's the situation, is it like your family's mine, someone is missing?"
"It's not so strict. Originally, this kind of pothole type should have been dug for some way forward, and it had to be supported by wooden sticks and planks, but I just asked the housekeeper, and he said that there were rumors that the workers inside came out of the mine and said that these supports were not installed at all, and there were frequent collapses. ”
Ades said suspiciously: "This is impossible, with the supports, the workers are safe to mine, and the mine is safe." If it collapses, wouldn't it cost more money to dig it again?"
Molly shook her head and said, "According to the housekeeper, someone has advised him before. But he refused to listen, so he dug it directly, and sold it directly when he dug it out. As more and more landslides increase, more tunnels are blocked. There will be fewer places to excavate. ”
"In the end, you can't dig and stop the mine?" Yunni was also curious, this way of thinking is really rare. It's not like the mind of an aristocracy.
Molly nodded, just as Winnie said, the mine of the Scott barony was closed like this, she looked at Ades and said: "Didn't the kingdom only give you the title of a hereditary knight, and even the fief was to be taken out by the viscount, then I will coordinate with the baron and transfer the valley of the copper mine to Anna, and then Anna will divide it to you." ”
The royal nobles and theocratic nobles in the royal capital have always been hostile, so the fact that Adès discovered and killed the demons was not wiped out was already because the Lord of Dawn had made great efforts to help.
As for the reward, with Ades' current value, he can't look down on the king's reward, even if he gives the territory directly according to the title, that is, a knight's territory, and if he is exchanged for a remote place, the value will definitely not exceed 10,000 gold coins.
What is 10,000 gold coins equal to? It's only five bottles of moon dew, so after Ades knew about this, he never mentioned fiefdom to Anna and them, and there is no difference between having and not being for the current Ades.
Now that Molly suddenly said this, Adès's head didn't turn for a moment, and he said unconsciously, "What am I going to do in the territory?"
Molly said with some guilt: "Ade, you have helped us so much, and we have nothing to give you, you have also seen those magic items in the family, they are just ordinary things, and the only valuable ones are also worn on Anna, so she and I have been looking for a gift for you, thank you well." ”
Yun Ni suddenly said next to him: "You have given yourself to him, the best things have been sent, it doesn't matter if the other things are sent or not." ”
Molly hugged Winnie embarrassedly and said, "Yunni, we don't want to rob you, you look at the situation of me and Anna, let alone getting married again, and even having few opportunities to go out with Ades, you can forgive us." ”
Winnie hung her head and didn't speak, but gently shook Molly's hand with her hand, this more intimate action expressed the meaning she wanted to express in her heart, Molly was also very smart, knowing that Winnie was not angry with them, but sometimes she would eat a little jealousy.
Ades thought for a moment and said: "Just take advantage of this opportunity, let's go to that mine to have a look, if there is still value in excavation, you can change it, if there are other accidents, just avoid those fiefdom nobles." ”
Molly took Winnie's hand and said, "That's what I thought, anyway, I just found an excuse to get out." ”
Winnie shook Molly's hand and said, "Then let's just call everyone up and treat it as a play, anyway, everyone doesn't have anything special to do now." ”
Molly thought for a moment and said, "If Anna wants to go out this time, you must bring Catherine with her, we are all gone, Catherine is very dangerous here alone." ”
"Then take Catherine with you, lest there be any accidents. Adès nodded approvingly.
"Then I'll find someone to communicate with that Baron Scott first, and see if he has any intention of transferring. Molly let go of Yunny's hand and brushed her hair.
"It's better to take down the nearby forests and land," said Adès, "and if we continue to dig, it will be different from the method used by Baron Scott, which is a kind of mine that needs to be stabilized for a long time, and if there is no land nearby, those miners will not be able to arrange it." ”
Molly nodded, smiled and said to Yunni: "Then I won't bother you, I'll go out and arrange these things first, it may take several days, you study slowly, it's best to study a few more alchemy potions in the territory, then we can gradually balance the industry of the territory." ”
Ades smiled and said, "How can it be so easy, do you think that the alchemy potion is there." ”
Amid the joyful chatter of several people, Molly walked out of the room and went to the butler to communicate with the baron first to see if he had any intention of transferring the copper mine.
A few days later, Adès and Mia first came out of the Viscount's Mansion and came to a manor owned by the Viscountdom, which was a manor outside the Black Iron Harbor, and soon Anna and her daughter arrived at the manor with Yvice and Winnie, and the next day Molly also arrived at the manor with a group of stewards and craftsmen familiar with mineral exploration.
After everyone met, they checked each other's equipment to make sure that they had nothing to lose, and then four four-wheeled carriages pulled Adès, the women, and a large group of stewards, and drove to the copper mine of Barony Scott.
On the way, Molly said to Ades: "I have asked someone again in the past few days, that copper mine cave is actually quite remote for Barony Scott, it is a little closer to our viscount, and there is a baron's territory not far away, at that time, the mining and transportation were a big problem, plus the cost of smelting, the profit of this mine in the baron has not been high." ”
"So it's a cost reduction? It's all about removing all the things that should be there?"
"No, it's that the baron hasn't looked at it since he discovered this mine, and then he asked for profit, and the stewards below were pressed too hard by the problem of profit, so they adopted this method. Molly shook her head and said in a somewhat incomprehensible tone.
Anna hugged Catherine next to her, and said funny: "It's really unreasonable, I really don't understand how this generation of Baron Scott governs the territory." ”
Molly touched Catherie's little head and said, "Isn't that right, we found the miners who were mining at that time, it is said that a mine with a particularly large reserve at that time also collapsed because of this, and it was not excavated again, if he didn't lie to us, there are still minerals in this mine." ”
Adès nodded and said, "That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to touch a mine like this." ”
Instead, Yvis was more concerned about the problems in the mine, and she said to Molly, "Is it determined that the mine is going to be closed because of this baron's poor management?
"Probably not, some of those miners have left the barony's mines and gone to other mines to mine, they don't need to hide anything for the baron......"
Anna interrupted Molly's words and said to everyone: "Molly and I have carefully inquired about this issue, including some underground intelligence organizations, and also purchased some intelligence, and nothing unusual happened. ”
Anna and Molly both have intelligence systems in their hands, and Anna's is relatively dark, and they are all sources of intelligence such as some underground organizations, thieves' unions, and adventurers' hotels.
Molly's is the commercial and viscount's previous intelligence system, the two of them gather the information obtained from their respective channels, and then analyze it from it, so that the correctness of the information is greatly guaranteed. (To be continued......)
