According to Colleen's description, the leader of the miners, Egbert, who was quite prestigious among the miners and had strong organizational skills, united several large mines in Bithynia to strike in this miners' strike, increasing the impact of the strike.

This guy is not simple, he once went to college for two years, but because of his parents' illness, his younger brothers and sisters had no one to support, so he had to suspend his studies and return to Bithynia, suffering from the difficulty of finding a local civilian job in Bithynia, so he had to go to the mine to become a miner.

From the way he faced himself without being arrogant or humble,

It's also a talent......

Philip nodded, and returned to the main seat in the middle of the long table with Caroline, and as a mediator, Philip had to appear impartial, and it was most appropriate to sit in the middle.

As soon as they sat down, the two sides of the negotiation began to glare at each other again, and it seemed that a new round of quarrels was about to begin.

"Can you hear me before you renegotiate?"

Philip's voice attracted the attention of both sides of the negotiation again, no matter what, Philip was the person who came from "above", and in this era of information was not very developed, "above" always carried a mysterious and powerful aura.

"Both, I also heard some of your conversations just now, and I know that you have a very big difference right now. ”

"It's not just big, they're just making unreasonable demands!" Francis snorted.

Egbert's face was not good-looking, "You are embarrassed to say a silver coin, what can you do with this money?"

"If it weren't for me, the rest of the mine owners wouldn't even want to add a copper coin!"

"If you hadn't joined forces with the other mine owners. We're not going to gang up with you to exploit it!"

"Enough is enough!

Philip slammed the table and looked at Francis and Egbert with a serious face, their sharp gaze causing them to shrink their necks unconsciously.

"Your Excellency Marquis, I think you must also know that every day that the strike lasts, you will lose one more day, labor costs, and breach of contract with the customer's delivery time, these are all money, and it is definitely not a way for this matter to continue like this. ”

"And you. Mr. Egbert. Philip's face didn't change a bit, and at this time he didn't want anyone to think that he was taking sides.

"You've been on strike, and if this continues, the mine won't be productive. Not produced. You don't get paid. I know that your salary is meager, but if you can't even get this money. What do you use to feed your family?"

Seeing that Francis and Egbert were silent, Philip knew that his own words had entered their hearts, that everything was nothing more than money, and that they could be moved by associating the strike with their interests.

"So, I have a proposal, the negotiation on the salary, no matter what, can not be stopped, even if you feel that the other party's conditions are unreasonable, no longer acceptable, you must continue, at the same time, the Marquis of Francis counts the number of orders received in the mining association, the current production will continue according to the order delivery date, give a production schedule, but this table can not be changed, all mine owners are not allowed to take new orders, Egbert got this table and ordered the workers to re-produce, knowing that the construction period on this production schedule is completed or your salary negotiation has a result, otherwise, no production shall be stopped, at the same time, the production period, wages as usual. What do you think of the two?"

Stable production is necessary at present, and if the delivery date is delayed, the mine will mainly lose a lot of money, and the workers who are already low-income will not get the money, and the life of the family will be difficult, so the deadlock strike is not beneficial to both sides, and negotiation is necessary.

However, the negotiations must not be endless, otherwise, the miners' grievances will still erupt, and the crisis will only be suspended, not contacted.

Only existing orders are produced, and new orders are not allowed, which is also a spur to both sides of the negotiations, and strike negotiations cannot go on endlessly.

Francis and Egbert looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and agreed with Philip's opinion, although it was not possible to talk about it, but it had to be discussed, and the method proposed by Philip was the best way to do it at the moment.

Relieved, Philip beckoned the servant to pour himself a glass of water, calming down the slightly agitated mood just now.

Luckily, fortunately, things haven't gotten out of control yet, and I hope that by doing so, I can cool down the erupting volcano of Bithynia a little.

"You're so good!"

Taking advantage of the fact that Francis and Egbert were back in a state of bickering, Caroline happily said next to Philip that Philip's performance just now was mature and rational, which made her feel quite happy.

At the beginning, although the political marriage with Philip was inevitable, Caroline still felt a little aggrieved, the waste wood of the Ross family, such a title is not a good honor, and the object she wants to marry has changed from the pride of a family to the object of family contempt, which makes Caroline, the proud daughter of the sky, feel extremely aggrieved.

As Philip's status rose little by little, as he made all kinds of admirable deeds, Caroline's grievances also dissipated little by little.

How many men were able to suppress a province at the age of twenty and receive praise from all the people, and how many men were able to build the province into a treasure of Bugas in one year?

Caroline is now more and more satisfied with her future husband......

If not, it would be better if he had a woman's scent on him.

"The scent of jasmine? Philip, when did you use a woman's perfume?"

"Ahh......h

Philip's cold sweat was running down the ground, how to explain this problem seemed to be more troublesome than mediating the fight between Francis and Egbert just now......

Outside the window of the conference room, two accompanying birds flew by, standing on a branch looking at Philip in a cold sweat and Caroline gritting her teeth and smiling in the room.

"Phew!"

A bald man with a scar on his forehead impatiently spits out the grass roots in his mouth. Looking at a Sven man sitting on a chair, he said, "It's been two days, Brother Gerald, we've been waiting for so long, but Brother Egbert hasn't come out yet, will it be detained by Francis's old man?"

"This ...... Maybe Francis has something important to discuss with Big Brother Egbert, and it's also possible......" Gerald whispered, as if he was a little lacking in confidence.

"Something important?" the bald man stomped his foot on the floor angrily, and the shaking ground made everyone else in the room turn their heads to look at him, and the room was the size of an ordinary bedroom, and there were more than a dozen people crammed into it, standing against the wall or sitting on the floor. Everyone has an iron pickaxe next to them. Pitchforks are tools that can be used as rudimentary weapons.

"Francis hates Big Brother Eggbert so much, he offered a reward of 100 gold coins to capture Big Brother Eggbert in the mine, how can there be something to discuss with him, he must have arrested Big Brother! Yes, it must be so!" The bald man looked a little smug with "I'm also smart".

Gerald at the time when the bald man kept repeating "Egbert". A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. But in the blink of an eye. No one noticed, and Gerald immediately piled up an annoyed look on his face, echoing the bald man. "Yes, Francis has always been mean, and when I was doing business with him, this guy cheated me a lot of money,"

"Don't let this old dog Francis catch Big Brother Egbert!" the bald man yelled and stomped his foot, and the whole house seemed to tremble, and the dust on the roof of the house fell down and fell on everyone's head, but these people also had a lot of stains on their faces and bodies, and they looked like they had rolled in the dust, so the dust on the roof did not add to the dirt on their bodies.

"Brothers!" the bald man once again attracted the attention of others, "Big brother Egbert has been captured by Francis, I am going to the Marquis's Mansion to save the big brother now, if you are willing to go, come with me!"

Immediately, several miners in the house turned resolute, picked up the "weapons" beside them and stood beside the bald man.

Gerald saw that many people in the room were hesitating, and hurriedly put on a look of embarrassment, "Valk, this is not good, Brother Egbert said that we are not allowed to leave these houses until he returns, and it will not be good if the governor and the mine owner find out." ”

"Brother Gerald, when has this been, I can't care so much! If it weren't for Big Brother Eggbert, we who can't even count the numbers can be expected to achieve anything great. ”

was originally hesitant, but when he heard Valker's words, he no longer hesitated, as he said, the miners couldn't count, and it was possible to negotiate wages with the mine owners?

The miners' thinking is very simple, what they can't do, they can only ask someone who can do it, if that person dies, they can only get a salary that can't even make a living, either starve to death one day, or one day have no money to see a doctor and be dragged to death, anyway, it's a death, simply, fight!

The rest of the people also picked up their tools and followed Walker, the bald man glanced at Gerald, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Gerald, I know that you are not us miners, but if we don't save Brother Egbert, please do it for the sake of Brother Eggbert......

Gerald sighed, looking like he wanted to go with Valk, but he had to stop and hung his hand heavily on the wall, "Needless to say, it's a big deal that I won't do the ore business in Bithynia, Valker, don't worry, if Big Brother Eggbert can't come back, I will definitely help you continue the strike, until those dog nobles agree to our request, so that the mother-in-law and cubs in the brothers' family don't starve to death, I will let go!"

Valker gave Gerald a heavy hug, "Thank you, Brother Gerald, brothers!"

Gerald's eyes were red, and he watched in grief as Valc departed.

In an abandoned manor house one block away from the Marquis's Palace, a large number of miners suddenly poured out, and strong men with soot and soot on their faces holding simple weapons such as iron pickaxes, shovels, and pitchforks, walked out of the dilapidated houses in Valk's loud call, like a black tide, from the gate of the manor to the Marquis's mansion, everyone's eyes were firm, and the hand holding the "weapon" bloomed angrily.

If you go here, you may not be able to save your life, but if you don't go, sooner or later your life will be lost.

Simply, just fight!(To be continued......)
