48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng was also looking at Zhang Heng when measuring Daikius.

He had read Zhang Heng's letter of appointment, and knew that the Oriental was a newly appointed consultant from KAMOOD who was dedicated to deal with the unfavourable business of copper statues.

Daegius wiped the cold sweat, actively said, “There's actually nothing wrong with the craftsmen, we've already cast the models already, just fill the bronze solution in, then wait for the solution to cool down and break the outer layer, but have been supplying us with copper ore Pinota mine recently had an accident, the mine collapsed, buried about twenty slaves, the rest of the slaves are still clearing the mine, we don't know when they can start again, no ore, we don't go on. ”

“What about another mine? Do you have options?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Yes, there are four mines on the outskirts of Rome, Pinota is a small mine, and we have an agreement with another mine, and if Pinota fails to satisfy us, the other will ship us copper ore, but…" Daegius stopped.

“But what? ”

“But recently His Majesty the Emperor was casting new copper coins, and the ore from the other mines was supplied as a matter of priority, and they had no excess ore to give us.” Daegius stall.

“What about copper mines produced by other cities? ”

“Combined with the fact that the cost of transportation is nearly double as expensive and takes time to arrive, it may be a little too late for construction.” Daegius also seemed helpless, he was not a son who could not inherit his father's seat in the Senate, so his father bought him this job in order not to starve him to death. He thought he could do well, earn the appreciation of Conmood, and get a stable job in the future.

The result is this job that can't be broken, and now it looks like he's going to fuck it up. Daegius was also quite grieved. He did not get the rebate, nor did he treat the people below. He was always wary, but somehow he turned the boat over. All he could say was that his luck was a little too bad.

However, the new advisor didn't seem to see it that way. Zhang Heng asked Daikius after hearing that the delivery of the bronze statue was no longer due, "Did you see the accident at the Pinota mine with your own eyes? ”

“Ah?” Daegius said, “Do I have to see this? According to our contract, the late delivery of the goods is fined. ”

“How much?”

“Well, about 20 oris a day, it's not a small amount, after all these days, I'm afraid they're out of profits, and there's probably a lot of money left to drag down to the mine. ”

“Twenty Oris a day, even if the mine can't afford it, there are people in this city who can afford it.” Zhang Hengfangdao, but he didn't go down to say more, the apparent clash between Kang Maud and the Senate was not known by a small character at the level of Daikius, Zhang Hengdao just said, “You know where Pinota Mine is, let's go together. ”

“Now?” It's a little hard to hear from Daegius, "but it's not over yet. ”

“Are you working now? ”

“No... no.” Daegius was honest.

“Then prepare the carriage.” Zhang Heng finally slapped the boardwalk.

“ ………… ”

Although Daegius did not understand why Zhang Heng had to go to the mine, he did his best to introduce Zhang Heng to Pinota Mine and the owner behind it. According to the information provided by Daegius, the owner of Pinota Mine was a landowner named Kobe.

His origins were ordinary, he was just a powerless civilian, but accidentally fell in love with a girl named Mania, whose father was rich, owned a large field and two mines, Pinota being one of them. Mania's father, unable to see Cobb, had always objected to his daughter dating this poor boy, but had died of illness before he could choose a satisfied son-in-law.

And then Mania married Cobb as she wished, and with her father without any other children, Cobb became the new owner of this vast field and two mines, and he got the nickname of a lucky Cobb.

“I've known the lucky Cobb for a while.” Daegius, “I bought a bunch of food from him before, for my family, and the guy didn't say much, but he was pretty reliable, and I didn't think he was going to lie about the mine accident, and it didn't do him any good. ”

Zhang Heng heard the story, just kept asking, "Do you know who he usually deals with more, or who his biggest buyer is? ”

“Well, Cobb spent the vast majority of his time visiting farmland, or just wandering around in two mines. He's not a bad guy, but he's not the kind of guy who especially likes to make friends. As for his biggest buyer, I heard he sold all the wheat he grows to the old man, Diwabraye, who owns more than half the grain stores in Rome. ”

“Who?”

“Divobraya, what, do you know him? ”

Zhang Hengyang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to hear the name of an acquaintance. It was the Jewish gang and the Golden Crown who made him deal with it. It was precisely because Zhang Hengyang agreed to this request that he exchanged the patrol's right to development in the southeast urban area, and then the three forces in the southeast urban area even helped him pass the assessment perfectly together.

However, Zhang Heng did not know for the time being whether the matter was related to Divobrayeh, and if so, how deeply Divobrayeh was involved, but Zhang Heng's instincts told him at the first moment that he might be able to use the matter to drag Divobrayeh into the water.

Daegius on the other side is still envious, Zhang Heng is just his idol, a gladiator, actually climbed all the way to the advisor's position, and just a short time into politics seemed to recognize a lot of big people. Diwabraye, though not as influential as Dior in the Senate, is not allowed to dwarf, and Diwabraye, an old fox who had to choose a side station before he could do much wrong, had a lot of friends in the Senate.

Daegius is figuring out how to get Zhang Heng to introduce him to Divobrayeh so that he can have a way back after his job blows up, so that he doesn't really get mixed up as a civilian.

But he didn't have time to talk, and the carriage had left the trail in the woods, and the destination for their trip was the Pinota mine.
