Yin Nuo had a headache.

Especially after seeing how this group of miners worked in an environment without any protective measures and without any ventilation equipment, wielding mining picks to dig out large pieces of blue ocher ore bit by bit from the relatively soft soil.

This can no longer be described as primitive, this is clearly a desperate act!

When Zu'an was the secretary-general, a large part of the work that Yin Nuo was responsible for was production safety. In response to Zu'an's situation, Kalya helped formulate a very detailed safety plan, and all Yin Nuo had to do was implement it.

But now, judging from the situation in the Weiluo Village mine, those safety production regulations are meaningless because they have not yet used them.

Come and try it quickly. 】

The honeycomb-like mine caves that Yin Nuo saw before were not the mining methods characteristic of the northern region, but that Vero Village itself did not know how to design mine tunnels, so it could only go straight.

The entire mine tunnel in Vero Village needs to be redesigned from beginning to end. Their current digging method is dangerous, inefficient, and wasteful.

Yin Nuo saw the problem clearly, but how to tell the other party was a bit troublesome.

Yin Nuo knew very well that the foreman in front of him was very kind to him, mainly because Lux promised to relocate the ore washing and crushing industries.

Nowadays, there is no mention of mineral washing and crushing. If you start to criticize other people's production methods, this can easily cause misunderstandings.

In this case, Yin Nuo must use a relatively tactful way to let the other party understand the seriousness of the problem.

Yin Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly and after thinking for a moment, Yin Nuo quickly found a suitable entry point: ore production.

After thinking about his words, Yin Nuo invited Gillam to come with him to the entrance of an uninhabited mine.

"Mr. Gillam, can I ask how much raw blue ocher ore the mine can dig out in a day under normal working conditions?"

"It's about five or six tons." Gillam thought for a while and gave an approximation, "It depends on the situation. You can also see the appearance in the mine. If the ore is smaller, it can Dig more, if the ore is larger, it will be dug slower."

"If it is this quantity, the washing and crushing of the ore should not be able to support a factory." Yin Nuo deliberately showed a helpless look, "Is there any other ore here?"

According to Yin Nuo, the main purpose of asking this was to make the other party realize that the output of the mine was too low, so that he could consider expanding production.

Then, what Yin Nuo never expected was that after thinking about it for a while, Gillam actually nodded in agreement.

"There is also black iron ore here, that's what the people in Seka Town said, but we can't dig that thing."

The surprise came so suddenly that Yin Nuo didn't know whether she should laugh or be helpless for a moment.

"Mr. Gillam." After thinking about it, Yin Nuo felt that she could only speak to the other party in a more direct way, "In my opinion, the mining method in Vero Village is too dangerous and too slow. "

"The boys are all working very hard!" Gillam shook his head immediately, "They have just started working recently and are not in good condition——"

"I'm not criticizing their enthusiasm, I'm saying that this mining method that has no plan, relies entirely on experience, and relies entirely on manual labor is too inefficient, and there is no safety protection in the mine, and it is really too dangerous." Yin Nuo only said Can put it more bluntly, "If you want to make mining a real business, you must improve the level of mining!"

Yin Nuo's words made Gillam freeze in place. He licked his lips awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"This is not an accusation." Yin Nuo pursed her lips and said in the most sincere tone, "Please believe that your Excellency, the Earl, very much hopes that mining will become the pillar industry of Forsbarrow."

"The entire Weiluo Village has less than 3,000 households. Counting the elderly and children, there are only more than 10,000 people." Gillam hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "I have heard what you said before. Said so."

"you have heard?"

"I've heard that among the three cities in the north, Forsbarrow is not the only one with mines." Gillam looked bitter, "I also went to Mithril City and Owendale to see how big their mines are. The mine is winding and winding, like a maze.”

"Then here..."

"There's no one in Weiluo Village. There are only two or three thousand people who can pick up a mining pick." Gillam spread his hands and looked helpless, "Not everyone can go into the mine. Come with me." There are only a thousand live young men in total, and they have to be rotated in three shifts. What you mentioned is very good, but it cannot be used here."

"It's not that difficult to mine the blue ocher mine here. Why are there so few people?" Yin Nuo was also a little lost in the lake. "No one is willing to come?"

"Yeah, no one wants to come." Gillam nodded, and then motioned for Yin Nuo to follow him, "Vero Village was born because of the blue ocher mine, but to be honest, it is not very convenient to live in."

As he spoke, he took Yin Nuo to the entrance of the village. While he was talking, a strong wind roared in. It was obviously a spring breeze, but it had no warmth at all. Instead, it was mixed with snowflakes and was biting cold.

"The wind here can blow three hundred days a year." After the wind passed, Gillam spoke again, "Everyone hopes that the lord can find a way to let us clean the mine and crush it ourselves. Because of this, We can’t hold too many people here.”

"Can't you consider changing your life?" Yin Nuo frowned, "Work in one place and live in another."

"How can that work?" Gillam shook his head, "You want us to leave the valley, build a village outside, and then walk twelve miles every day to go to the mine?"

"That's right." Beyond Gillam's expectation, Yin Nuo nodded without hesitation, "If it is true that these two mountains are full of blue ocher mines, then Weiluo Village can be relocated in another direction. And then attract more people to work.”

"Who is willing to be a mine rat in a dark mine?" Yin Nuo's statement finally made Gillam a little impatient. "Miss Yin Nuo, what Vero Village needs now is a water source for ore washing and crushed ore. We can completely rely on our own manpower to pull these two items together——"

"..."

Yin Nuo wanted to say that it would not solve the problem and treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but after thinking for a moment, she finally nodded slightly.

"Okay." Yin Nuo finally gave his promise, "If this is the case, it is completely feasible - the artificial lake can completely divert water, and I will definitely be able to find a way to crush the ore."

"Thank you so much--"

"If these are all done, then Mr. Gillam." Yin Nuo looked directly at Gillam who seemed to be relieved, and continued, "Then can you promise me, and try as I say? Try it out?”
