Chapter 108 The cruel truth
At Kashin, while mining was in full swing, Rostislav had a problem, a very, very big one.

During the recent period, as the output of silver ore has decreased and lead ore has increased, Rostislav feels very wrong.

So he sent his engineers to investigate what was going on, and then he had the current report.

"Are you sure? Are you really sure that this vein is actually a lead mine?"

In the simple wooden house, Rostislav once again questioned the engineers in front of him. His tone was very serious, and there was a hint of pleading, begging that all this should not be true.

"Your Majesty, we have confirmed... this is indeed a lead mine, and the silver is just accompanying and will be exhausted soon."

Rostislav's eyes looked a little hairy, but the leading Greek engineer still told the truth under pressure. The fake ones can't be true, and the real ones can't be fake.

In his heart, he was not surprised by all this. He had long felt that something was wrong with the silver mine, but for the purpose of protecting himself, he never told the truth.

"Damn, damn, impossible, impossible!"

Rostislav said in disbelief that it was clearly stated in later generations that this was a huge silver mine, and that the Moscow-Tver war in later generations was all caused by it. How could it be that it was just an associated mine? (Note [-])

Since he came to Northeast Ross, it was the first time for him to lose his composure and go into a rage. Seeing the prince like an engineer, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of arousing his anger and becoming the target of his anger, and vowed in his heart that he would never take He said that he had discovered the problem a long time ago.

There is a reason for the prince to be so furious. He has already spread the news that there is a huge silver mine here, told his relatives, obtained the manpower they provided, and promised a corresponding share. Now it is time for him to tell Did the relatives make a mistake themselves?
Rostislav was unable to sit on the chair, which was a great blow to him. He put his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes tightly, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind, while the others in the room did not dare to move rashly and could only silently Waiting for the Maharaja.

Finally, after 5 full minutes, Rostislav finally adjusted his mood, and his breathing stabilized, but the engineer still didn't dare to breathe. Everyone saw the prince's gaffe just now, and it was the first time they met Seeing that the prince, who is always gentle and elegant, lost his composure, he couldn't help but keep silent.

"How long can the silver mine be dug?"

Rostislav's tone returned to calm. Now to solve the problem, there is no point in being furious. You must first know how long the silver mine can last.

Engineers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the leading Greek engineer answered the prince's words.

"According to the current situation, it can last for three months, but if there are additional manpower, it will be hard to say."

"Three months, well, it's enough to last for a while. You all go down, the news can't be revealed, and another team is sent to look for other mines nearby."

"Yes."

The engineers responded repeatedly, and then retreated in a hurry. Getting along with this person this time was really scary, as if they were going to eat people in the next moment.

After the engineers had left, Rostislav called for his captain.

"Find a few smarter soldiers and keep an eye on them for me. The news cannot be revealed. If necessary, let them shut up."

The impact of the news leak is much more important than the lives of several engineers. Engineers can recruit again, but if the news leaks out, it will be over. He still can't let the truth leak out.

"I'll make arrangements immediately."

Gevalan also understood the importance of the matter and said quickly.

It's just that not long after the personal soldiers left, Rostislav got a piece of news, a piece of news that made him want to explode immediately.

Teams from Poland and Hungary are in Moscow.

"Aha, is this the city my nephew built? It looks pretty good, it's pretty good."

On the balcony of Rostislav's palace, a middle-aged man looked at the orderly city below and sighed.

"It's this nephew who even reserved a site for future city expansion. Well, he really has far-reaching considerations. It seems that he is determined to build Moscow into the largest city in Northeast Russia. He has ambition."

This middle-aged man was wearing a peaked hat, an expensive fur coat, and a pair of oily and slippery leather boots. He looked like a grassland nobleman. He was indeed a grassland nobleman, but he was not from the south, but from the west. of Hungary.

"Boy over there, don't put on a bitter face, come and take a look, you've been like a gourd along the way."

The middle-aged man looked at the young man who was drinking honey wine. The blond young man was wearing chain mail and a smock covered with red leaves on the hills. He looked like a warrior in battle. With a stinky face, I don't know what I'm thinking.

The young man turned a deaf ear to the words of the Hungarian visitor, and the middle-aged man laughed when he saw this. This kid is really good, but he can chat with him now, so let's chat.

"You are somewhat similar to Kazimierz, and I probably guessed your origin. You were actually exiled here. Kazimierz's power comes from his marriage with Rose, so your story can only be found in Poland. Beyond that, I was right, Myshko the Younger."

"Edward of the Wessex family, don't talk too much, my story may be just as you said, so why are you here?"

A cold light flashed in Myshko's eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Edward's experience of spying on him like this, and then he changed the subject.

"I'm here... mainly because Andre's wife and I want to take care of their nephew, and this opportunity can also bring silver to the kingdom, so I'm here, just to see if I can be in Gaining power here, settling down, that's Andrew's expectation."

Edward said in a meaningless tone that he had nothing to do in Hungary anyway, so he might as well come out to take risks, which can be regarded as contributing some help to His Majesty the King of Hungary who took him in.

As for his brother-in-law's thoughts, it depends on the situation. He doesn't care much about his status as a potential heir to England. He doesn't have such a strong desire for these powers.

Hearing this, Myshko didn't answer, and quietly closed his mouth, but there was still some disdain and disgust in his eyes.

Edward smiled even more happily, this young man was taken into consideration by him.

"However, the desolation of this land is beyond my imagination. Dozens of my subordinates' war horses got stuck in the swamp along the way, and I will have to break some horses a few days ago. My nephew is really hard. .”

Edward changed the subject, and his tone was full of praise for Rostislav. This kid left his rich hometown to build an industry here, and he did a good job, which is rare for his age. And this time Mesh Ke didn't cast any disdainful eyes.

Remark [-]: On the Chinese wiki, there is indeed information about the Kashin silver mine and the Moscow-Tver war that started because of this silver mine.

However, this information only exists in Chinese, and there is no such information in English or Russian. That is to say, someone made a fake, probably because of the fighting beast or something. If you go to check it, you will be tricked.

And our protagonist was caught in the trick and believed the false news, so there is the embarrassing situation now.
