1209. Farewell

Furnace No. 7 has been dismantled, and all the parts to be shipped to Dodan Town have been packed into large wooden crates with detailed numbers written on the outside of the crates.

Hamlin was worried that all the parts would become extremely chaotic when they were transported to the installation site in Dodan Town, so each wooden box had a unique number, and these numbers were carried out in a specific order, and each box had a specific combination symbol for the parts interface.

Although there are no drawings for the disassembly and assembly of these furnaces, these sequential numbers are their best construction drawings.

However, these numbers can only be read by Hamlin and his group of craftsmen.

He did all this work by himself......

Therefore, he needed to personally lead the team to Dodan Town on the Bailin plane to assemble it.

The night before leaving, Hamlin gathered the craftsmen of the steel workshop, not all of whom were willing to leave their hometowns, this time Hamlin took only forty-three craftsmen of the steel workshop, and these craftsmen were willing to leave their homes and rush to the Bailin plane, purely to solve the difficult family situation.

With this good income, there is no need to worry about life at least for a short time.

Tonight is for Hamlin and the craftsmen who are about to rush to the White Forest Plane, so the entire Uncle Sam's tavern in the slum is full of steelworks craftsmen, and the tavern seems to be very lively, everyone drinks ale and chats.

"Hamlin, don't forget to write to us when you get there." Several artisans who had not participated in the expedition approached, hooked Hamlin's shoulders, and slammed the foamy ale glasses over.

The wooden wine glass made a dull sound.

Hamlin took a sip of the ale, which was still slightly mixed with wheat grains, and it was clear that the ale was not filtered so well.

"Got it, I'm settled over there, so I ask you to bring my family and rush to Bailin together, now we people go to the front station, and we will bring you back good news." Hamlin said to a muscular craftsman.

The craftsman's face was a little tangled, but there was no way to do it, he had four children at home waiting to be fed.

Although this trip can bring him a lot of income, he is worried that it will be the last income of his life.

Then the small family he worked so hard to build was shattered like a soap bubble, his wife became someone else's wife, his children became someone else's child, and the house and savings he had worked so hard to accumulate became someone else's property - he didn't dare to gamble.

Therefore, in the face of favorable conditions, although the strong craftsmen with good craftsmanship retreated.

An old craftsman next to him was very open-minded, and with the help of wine, he said to these craftsmen who had given up rushing to the Bailin plane:

"The last time those Thunder Rhino caravans came to us, I inquired, although it is a small town, but there are large forests that belong to the Archon of Surdak, and there are real mines over there, and the standard of living is ...... How to say it! ”

He took another long sip of ale before he said:

"I earn a lot of money, but my daily expenses are very small, and I don't have a lot of wealth in my daily life. It is said that ordinary families basically have little money over there, they always buy baked wheat cakes in the bakery to eat, two copper plates a piece, one wheat cake is enough for an adult to eat for a whole day, and their sheep only needs four silver coins, so life there is very comfortable......"

Hearing the old craftsman say this, the craftsmen who chose to give up the trip to Bailin were faintly regretful.

The old craftsman was stared at by so many eyes, and the little bit of wine dissipated at once, his face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment:

"But there are also bad things, there is a beast tide every ten years in that place, it is said that the beast tide that broke out just last year, the army of the Suldak Archon is stationed there, they are the ones who resist the beast tide, I heard that many people died in the town."

The craftsmen were immediately frightened, but then one of the craftsmen added at the end:

"There are also a lot of people who made a lot of money in that beast tide......"

Hamlin continued: "We go and assemble the furnace for them, and we have to do the subsequent commissioning, test run, and wait until the furnace is functional, whether we choose to leave or stay there......

Uncle Sam, the tavernkeeper, asks Hamlin, "Have you bought all the tickets?" ”

Hamlin added a piece of ice to his glass, put two more pineapples, and took a big sip before saying, "I'm going to the airport dock tomorrow to take a magic airship......

One of the craftsmen huddled around Hamlin said expectantly: "To tell you the truth, this is the first time in my life that I have taken an airship, and I would not be willing to buy a ticket for two gold coins." ”

The craftsmen who had given up going to the Bailin plane gathered around, raised their glasses to Hamlin and his party, and said:

"Everyone, have a nice trip."

Hamlin also raised his glass with everyone and said loudly:

"Wait for the good news when we arrive!"

"Hmm."

On a summer night, the cheers in the tavern could be heard far away......

……

Lake. Before leaving, Count Cushing left a letter to Surdak:

(Dear Dak:

I'm very sorry, but this time I have to say goodbye, the old Earl of Botkamp has asked me to be a lobbyist for him, he has helped me a lot before, so I can't refuse, if it is the same thing, please let the scales of luck tilt a little in his favor, he wants the nephew of the family to run a hotel, and needs to find a plot of land around the steelworks.

There was only so much to say about intercession, and in order to prevent others from continuing to talk to me about these things, I decided to take a vacation in the city of Bena for the time being, and when everything had calmed down, I would return to Ruyt.

When you have time, be sure to keep an eye on the people on the other side of the mine, I have been trying to move them out of the dangerous area for the past two years, but unfortunately due to the poor financial situation in Ruyt, this idea has never been realized.

Lake. Handwritten by Count Cushing...... )

Surdak knew that the nobles would be enthusiastic about the project of the restaurant plaza, but he didn't expect Lake. Count Cushing will also be involved.

However, he didn't expect that Count Leke Cushing would decide to go to Pena City in order to avoid causing him trouble.

Looking out the window at the street scene speeding backwards, Surdak stopped the magic caravan and decided not to see off the craftsmen of the steel mill, otherwise he would see Lake on the airport dock. Count Cushing, will also make everyone very embarrassed.

The magic caravan was parked on the side of the street, not too far from the airport terminal.

At that moment, he pushed the door open and jumped out of the carriage, and turned into a back alley with almost no people on the busy street.

After a few steps, Surdak leapt lightly onto the roof.

The building was the highest in the vicinity, and he stood on the tallest building a few hundred meters from the airport dock and waited for a moment before waving at the slowly rising magic airship.

On the magic airship, Hamlin and a group of craftsmen are excited to stand on the deck, they are very curious about everything on the magic airship, and they are very eager to have some parts on it made in the steel factory, so that they must be very proud.

So everybody was looking around, and they were looking for places where there was only metal.

Unfortunately, the magic airship is a high-end magical product...... So even a screw on the airship was not made by Bednar.

Although no parts from the steelworks were found, one saw the Archon Surdak standing on the roof.

Excited-looking craftsmen began to approach the edge of the ship's side, leaning their upper bodies out of the ship while waving goodbye to the Suldaq Archon.

The man on the magic airship shouted, "It's the Archon, it's the Archon Surdak who is waving to us over there." ”

There was a burst of jubilation on the deck......

The deck of the magic airship was so noisy, and Lake was standing on the lookout of the ship. Count Cushing followed the direction of their gaze and saw Surdak at a glance.

Lake. Count Cushing was a little sad and a little relieved......

The sad thing is that he left Ruit City in a hurry this time, and no one at home came to the airport dock to say goodbye, and it was fortunate that Surdak saw the letter and came in a hurry.

Lake. Count Cushing waved his hand at Surdak with a faint smile on his face.

……

Lake. After Count Cushing left, Surdak returned to the town hall and asked Thea to find a map of the ironworks area and related information.

There are many problems left over from the iron mining area, which is also the heart of Count Leke Cushing in recent years, the only thing he wants to make to the city of Ruyt, and due to the embarrassment of the Ministry of Finance, has not been able to bring those mining residents out of the abandoned mines.

Originally, there were thirty-two villages and three small towns in the mining area, but that was when the iron mines were at their best.

Later, the iron ore mines on the outskirts of Ruit were gradually hollowed out, and these dense villages and towns disappeared little by little, and so far, there are still six villages and one town in the abandoned iron ore area, and the others have become empty ghost villages and ghost towns.

There are some collapses in the iron ore mine area every year, and every time it rains, the mining area has long been accustomed to subsidence and ground cracking, and occasionally accompanied by the disappearance of people.

The old people who live in the village often say that this is a punishment for the residents of this land by hollowing out the ground.

Surdak also felt a little helpless about this kind of thing, because the abandoned mine was simply worthless, and the city of Ruyt was really in a very tight financial situation, and there was no money to help these villagers move out of the iron ore area.

That's not to say how expensive it is to build a house, and that there are a lot of troubles to face when they move them out of the iron ore mines.

For example, if you want them to live outside the city, you need to buy a piece of land for them, and if you live in the city of Ruit, you need to help them find a simple job that can support their families, a house to live in, food at this stage, and so on......

Surdak held the dossier and rubbed his forehead in some pain......
