Chapter 476 Mass Poisoning
  "It's not a big problem. It's just that Taoyuan Town was in emergency a few days ago. The Eighth Master sent people to ask for help many times, but he didn't get the order from the Fourteenth Master, so... he ignored it. I guess the Eighth Master was a little unhappy!"

Lin Yun nodded: "It doesn't matter, you did the right thing! Nianzi Mountain is very important to me. Even if Taoyuan Town is lost, there will never be any problems here! ~ In addition, how much copper ore can be transported to Niubei Village every month? "

"Well... about a dozen tons! Now it has basically reached saturation, and it is very difficult to increase production!"

Jiang Kun was also worried about Lin Yun raising his demands.

Qi Rui on the side took a breath and said, "Can you mine more than ten tons of copper ore in a month?" He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lin, you are really making a fortune in silence! With so much copper ore, there is no such thing as Make less money?"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said: "If I find a market, will I still need to go all the way to Beijing last time? However, I am not in a hurry to sell these copper mines. I also plan to smelt these copper mines and use them to make weapons and equipment. !”

He worked hard to mine minerals, naturally to make money, but Lin Yun knew that without absolutely powerful armed forces, let alone making money, he probably wouldn't even be able to protect these minerals.

After all, he still understands that a common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Only then did Qi Rui suddenly realize, he cupped his fists and smiled: "Master Lin, if my Qi family is short of money and equipment in the future, you must help me!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Of course, I always treat my friends with loyalty!"

While talking, everyone returned to the camp. Jiang Kun had already arranged a banquet and said: "I don't have anything good to entertain the young master and Commander Qi here. Simple food and drinks are not respectful!"

Lin Yun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay! It seems that your boy has also learned the tricks of officialdom! Do you still know how to please the leader?"

"hey-hey!!"

Jiang Kun scratched his head in embarrassment and kept giggling.

Lin Yun said: "Commander Qi, since someone is in charge of the food, let's not be polite! Let's take a seat!"

Qi Rui nodded and said: "Okay, then I will take advantage of Mr. Lin this time!"

"Ha ha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged glasses and the atmosphere was very good.

But at this moment, an officer ran in, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Commander, something bad has happened! Just now, miners fell into coma one after another in the mine! I don't know what the situation is! You'd better go and take a look. !”

Jiang Kun's face was livid. If nothing happened sooner or later, he would wait until Lin Yun arrived before such an accident happened. Wasn't this giving him eye drops?

He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master and Qi Tong will go ahead and drink slowly. You can go back to your humble duties!"

Lin Yun drank all the wine in the glass and said in a deep voice: "Everything has happened, how can I still be in the mood to eat and drink? Come on, let's go up the mountain and have a look!"

After that, the three of them led a group of soldiers to Nianzi Mountain quickly.

I saw that the surrounding area of ​​the mine was already crowded with mining workers, all of them were shirtless, exposing their tendons.

Qi Rui saw it and secretly praised it in his heart.

Although I haven’t visited the conditions in the mine yet, it seems that these workers are all fat and strong. They obviously have enough to eat and drink and live a pretty good life.

This is completely different from other mines in the Daduan Dynasty. Those high-ranking officials of the royal family are making money openly and secretly, and they will not treat these lowest-level workers as human beings.

Jiang Kun quickly came to the entrance of the mine and asked, "Who manages this mine?"

A slovenly middle-aged man in a white coat came over, clasped his fists and said: "The villain is the pit leader here! Just now, the villain led everyone to work normally, and for some reason, a large number of people suddenly appeared unconscious. Fortunately, the villain found out Even if you have to, carry out all the unconscious workers and seal the mine as soon as possible! Otherwise... I'm afraid the loss will be even greater!" After hearing his report, Jiang Kun glanced at Lin Yun with some guilt and said in a deep voice : "You are so brave! Who allowed you to close the mine? Do you know how much damage will be caused if you delay for one day?"

At the banquet in the tent just now, he patted his chest and assured Lin Yun that he could complete the mining tasks with quality and quantity every month.

I didn't expect this kind of problem to happen now.

The pit director and the surrounding workers looked at each other, but their eyes showed anger.

The pit chief clasped his fists and said: "Commander Jiang, this is a matter of life and death! If the danger in the mine is not resolved, everyone will not dare to go in again? You can't just say a word and let us people fight for our lives, right?"

Jiang Kun was furious and pulled out his sword directly, trying to intimidate him with force.

But at this moment, I stepped forward and held his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Asshole, is this how Commander Chiang usually manages the mine?"

Jiang Kun smiled awkwardly: "Master Lin, please calm down. I am afraid of delaying the construction period..."

"Shut up! I want to ensure safe production with both hands. If these copper mines are paid for with workers' lives, then I would rather stop work!"

He is not a saint, nor does he have such high sentiments, but he also knows the importance of gathering people's hearts.

If you offend these workers, the consequences will be disastrous.

Moreover, as a time traveler and a college student in geology, he knew the situation very well.

Not thinking about solving problems but intensifying conflicts will only make things worse.

When Jiang Kun saw that he was really angry, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"My lord, please calm down. I understand your sins because of your humble position!"

Lin Yun nodded, looked at the pit chief, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as I'm here, I will definitely not do anything harmful to everyone's health. Can you take me to see the unconscious workers first?" ?”

The pit director and the workers around him were secretly happy. Lin Yun's statement was highly praised by everyone, and their eyes were full of support when they looked at him.

"Master Lin, please come here!"

Afterwards, he followed the pit leader to a pavilion not far away.

This pavilion is very simple, just made of wood and covered with leaves.

The dozen or so unconscious miners were lying on the mats, all of them had gray faces. Even though they were unconscious, they still showed pain.

At this time, Qi Rui whispered: "Master Lin, what happened to them? Is there something evil in the mine?"

People in ancient times were superstitious about some things, especially when they encountered something that could not be explained, they would blame ghosts and gods.

The workers watching around him heard that he was evil, and they all showed obvious fear.

Lin Yun ignored him and bent down to pull open the shirt of one of the unconscious workers. When he saw a large red rash on his chest, he immediately knew the answer.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "What evil spirits are there? Commander Qi, stop talking nonsense! This is just ordinary copper poisoning!"

Everyone was confused when they heard the term copper poisoning for the first time.
