The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 60
Chapter 60 Miners at the Iron Mine (2)
Morkan had only one reason for his prejudice.
He said he had no interest in iron mines.
I don’t know why he decided to do the job, but Roman’s behavior couldn’t be seen very well.
‘You know the work of the miners in a funny way. We have dedicated our lives to the iron mine, shedding blood and sweat every day to make a living, but Roman Dmitri is going to work as if he were on a picnic. If I went to the forge with that kind of mindset, I’d be very scolded by the master of the forge, Hendrick.’
Jacob was a finite man.
He did not like the fact that he accepted Roman, and Roman, who came out to work, did not like either.
First day.
Morkan acted nervously.
I deliberately worked around the point where Roman worked, and watched him from time to time to see if he was distracting.
However, Roman worked more diligently than I thought.
He thought he was going to pretend to work and goof around, but Roman, like the other workers, worked hard and fulfilled his quota.
It was unexpected.
Do you really work hard?
I found them chatting occasionally, but it wasn’t really a big deal.
‘Did you really go to the iron mine to help? Or did Lord Dmitry make us suffer just like we did for the purpose of the heir class? The former cannot understand why, and the latter has never been shown before. Rodwell Dmitri, the second son of the Dmitri family, has suffered all kinds of hardships at the blacksmith since he was young, but he has never shown his face in the iron mine. What is the reason Roman Dmitri is doing this now, when even the most influential successor did not do it?’
It was so strange.
no matter how you think
It was an aimless move.
At first, I thought it was simply an heir class, but that didn’t clear up the question.
Then one day.
Morkan heard shocking words.
“I heard from a servant at the castle that Lord Dmitri never ordered Roman Dmitri to work in the iron mines? I don’t know why Roman Dmitri is suffering so much, but at least I don’t think it’s a judgment based on his own will.”
words of neighbors.
It was shocking.
it’s not mean
In the meantime, I had looked at Roman with a prejudiced gaze, but as soon as I heard that, I saw Roman’s appearance differently.
‘… how.’
one week.
Roman was really sincere.
I got along well with the workers without any corners, and there was not a single person who was dissatisfied with Roman’s work attitude.
The dissatisfaction expressed on the first day faded in an instant.
I put down my social status and ate the same food and worked the same way, so I couldn’t hate it without malicious intent.
Reputation has changed.
Roman Dmitri is better than I thought.
When people gathered in groups of three or five, they glanced at Roman and talked, and their attitudes also changed favorably.
to such a situation.
Morkan couldn’t stand the question.
Dmitry’s three heirs.
I wanted to see what purpose and thoughts Roman Dmitri, the only one of them, had found the iron mine.
like that.
“Can I ask you one question?”
Morkan approached Roman for the first time.
A question asking for purpose.
Roman looked at Morkan and said.
“Which would you like to hear, an ideal answer or a realistic answer?”
It was a different reaction than expected.
I thought he would tell me the reason why, but Morkan fell into trouble at the choice that popped out as if he had waited.
ideal and reality
Morkan wanted to know everything.
“Can you tell me both?”
“Then I’ll start with the ideal answer.”
Ideal.
As I said to Hans, it was such a sweet word.
“Dmitri is a mining town. Just as the people of Lawrence make a living through agriculture, the people of Dmitri make a living by working in the iron mine. So I wanted to experience people’s daily life firsthand. What it means to live as a person for Dmitry. I wanted to know the reality while working directly with people because it is simply understanding people with dead knowledge that I only know from afar.”
“… Is it really necessary?”
“need. Since my last name is Dmitri, it is a must.”
Roman’s answer.
It was ideal.
It was something he really wanted to hear from the leader, and it seemed that his wariness towards Roman was completely released in an instant.
then.
What is the realistic answer?
“The real reason comes from the fact that I am not Dmitri’s owner. If Dmitri has amassed a fortune, it belongs to my father, not to me. So I’m going to find out how much Dmitri has accumulated, exactly how he works, and what I, as Dmitri’s oldest son, can do in the process.”
“What do you mean? If your father is Dmitri’s owner, isn’t this land also yours after all?”
“no.”
father and son.
between blood ties.
But that doesn’t mean you inherit everything from your father.
The Heavenly Demon of the previous generation had twelve children.
He passed on the background of being a descendant of the Heavenly Demon to his son, but he had to win it himself in order to achieve something.
I knew then.
The rich are also strangers after all.
A reasonable price was needed in order to bring as much of his father’s things as he wanted.
“I will ask you. If I demand hundreds of gold from my father now, how do you think the lord of Dmitri you know will behave?”
“Of course I would ask why. Hundreds of gold is by no means a small amount of money.”
“That’s why I found the iron mine. If you find something you can do for Dmitri in Dmitri’s daily life. I have the right to rightfully demand ‘my share’ from my father. It’s a privilege as a son, and at the same time, it’s also a direct win for my rights. I need a lot of money and people for the things I’m going to do in the future. It is my judgment that I would rather use my father’s background and wealth than to cultivate them one by one from scratch.”
It was an overly honest answer.
An ideal is just an ideal.
Roman made it very clear that he had a purpose.
Really.
Morkan couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdly stupid answer.
“Hahahahaha, that was the reason. To ask for his father’s rightfully, he had to pay such a price. I really didn’t even think about it. I simply thought that Master Roman had come to the iron mine for the purpose of training the successor, but I could not understand the deep meaning of Master Roman.”
He laughed so hard that his throat was exposed.
Roman’s answer.
I could have felt bad.
In the end, it meant that he would use the work at the iron mine, but Morkan interpreted Roman’s words in a different way.
‘Brother Roman came to the iron mine, not the blacksmith’s, to do something for Dmitri. That means the work we miners do is just as important, and it must be that they deliberately thought it was worth doing, even putting themselves in the dust. nice If that’s the case, there’s no reason to stop it.’
recognizing their worth.
That was enough.
Miners wanted people’s approval.
Unknowingly, dissatisfaction with discrimination accumulated and it erupted when he met Roman.
however.
Roman acknowledges the value of the iron mine and says he will use it.
what a nice word to hear
For this reason, Morkan was willing to be taken advantage of.
Morkan said.
“So what are you curious about? I will answer all of them to the best of my knowledge.”
From day one until now.
It was the moment Morkan, who was consistently hostile, let go of the bar in his heart for the first time.
From then on, the conversation went smoothly.
Roman asked many questions.
deposits of iron ore.
production per day.
And the way of production and distribution, etc.
Morkan faithfully answered the endless questions.
“People say that Dmitri’s iron mine is the largest in the kingdom. However, in reality, it is no less inferior to being the largest on the continent. The Cairo kingdom is located in the northeast of the continent, and among them, the land that exists at the northeast end is Dmitri. People call Dmitri the end of the continent, but the truth is otherwise. Numerous mountain ranges beyond the northeast did not allow people to set foot, so people had no choice but to divide the border based on Dmitry. And those mountains are the source of Dmitri’s wealth. It’s just that it’s an unknown world, so we didn’t develop it unreasonably, but according to our research, there are dozens of iron mines that haven’t been developed yet.”
That was amazing information.
over the northeast.
The place called the endless mountain range could be said to be the source that made Dmitri the present.
numerous iron mines.
Top grade iron ore.
And even the technology to process it.
Dmitri had no choice but to build wealth.
I knew the scale of wealth was great.
But this was beyond imagination.
‘A great wealth in the northeast area. People say that Dmitri’s wealth is endless, but even that didn’t fully grasp Dmitri’s potential. Then, if I present a just cause and price, it must mean that my father has the ability to fully support it.’
Morkan’s words were not over.
When asked about daily production, he answered:
“Actually, Dmitri doesn’t have a lot of production compared to the conditions he has. That’s why we don’t sell iron ore, but the working environment is too dangerous. As we try to work stably, of course, the speed inevitably slows down, which directly leads to a drop in production.”
“From my experience, I think it has sufficient safety facilities.”
“you’re right. Lord Dmitry has done a lot of support to work as safely as possible, but it is this mining that is still dangerous. Earthquakes occasionally occur in the mountain ranges to the northeast. At that time, the shaft might collapse, so you can’t go deep, and if an accident actually occurs, you have no choice but to stop work for several days. But this is not the kind of problem that can be solved. How can a mere human being prevent natural disasters?”
It was a real problem.
Even with the best conditions, Dmitri could not fully utilize the conditions due to safety concerns.
And that.
It was the kind of answer Roman had been waiting for.
safety issue.
It was an attractive point.
Roman asked.
“if. How much could Dmitri benefit from solving the safety issue?”
“I can’t be quick to say, but I am confident that production can increase by at least 50% compared to now. The reason iron mines do not employ excessive personnel is that they cannot be responsible for safety. We sent as many people as we could manage to the mines and were always careful for safety, so the production couldn’t keep up with the reserves. Looking at things like that, Lord Dmitry is such a great person. Even though there are practical benefits right in front of us, we put the safety of our workers first.”
As Morkan said.
Baron Romero was a good man.
If it were a vicious lord, he would push manpower into the mine, whether or not people died in an accident.
but.
Baron Romero was different.
He did not covet excessive wealth.
Satisfied with reality, he valued his people.
Miners like Morkan.
Even though they know that the work is dangerous, they are always working without expressing dissatisfaction even though they are dissatisfied due to the trivial discrimination against the blacksmith, because they are grateful to Baron Romero.
‘I’ve found. What I can do for Dmitri.’
A chronic problem in iron mines.
If it can be solved, Dmitri can gain a lot.
It was then.
Quaang!
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating
A crash was heard somewhere.
A sign of disaster.
Morkan’s expression turned pale at the meaning of the sound.
