084 There is a large iron mine in the barren Winterland
In the next few days, the small robbers on the Winter Corps were wiped out under the strong attack of the Lord Miss.
It can be said that except for a few robbers who barely fought, almost all of them surrendered.
Such efficiency not only led to a significant acceleration of the bandit suppression progress, but also brought considerable burden to Lin En!
There is no way, as he had worried before, the number of prisoners was increasing, from dozens or hundreds at the beginning to nearly a thousand, and now it has reached more than five thousand people!
What should he do with such a large number of robber captives?
They all went to the quarry to dig stones? The problem is that they won’t use so many people!
He just wanted to build an ordinary road and build a house.
But the result was that a large number of stones were sent out from the quarry and then piled up, it would be more than just a matter of saturation of materials!
"What's the matter with me?"
Because of the increasing number of prisoners, Lin En couldn't help but start to worry. If he didn't arrange some work for them, he would probably have to leave them in prison for a meal.
However, at this moment, Fros, the leader of the former Evil Tooth Tiger Robbers Group, asked for a visit, which surprised him.
Speaking of Fros, his current job is to act as the lord's bandit suppression guide. If the job is done well, he can spare his life afterwards and let him go to the quarry like an ordinary prisoner to work hard.
But if the bandit suppression is not done well enough, then after the bandit suppression is over, the one who is still waiting for him is still running away.
It is precisely because of this that Lin En didn't pay much attention to him. No matter which result, he would never have any interaction with the other party after the bandit suppression.
Now that Fros suddenly asked for a meeting, Lin Neng didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Great Master Lelic, I heard that you are worried about too many prisoners recently."
Once upon a time, Lynn's cold image took root in Flos's heart.
Because of this, although Fros took the initiative to ask for a meeting this time, his attitude still seemed cowardly and humble. He didn't even dare to breathe for a moment and asked carefully.
"Oh? Where did you know?"
Flos's words made Lynn raise his eyebrows.
He was indeed worried about this matter, but this shouldn't be something that the original robber leader should know, right?
"I'm very sorry, Master Lelic, I heard this news inadvertently when I was instructing the Lord's direction."
Lynn's expression condensed, Fros's body trembled suddenly, his head was so low that it was almost drooping to his toes, for fear that his rashness would annoy the eldest young master.
"So that's it. You're right. I'm really worried about this."
"So you came to me on your own initiative, is there a way to help me?"
For Flos' explanation, it's fine if Lynn listens to it, but it doesn't matter whether it is true or not.
What he cares about is the other party’s purpose.
Since he knows his own difficulties, is he here to share his worries?
"It's like this, Master Lelic, my... my subordinates once discovered an iron ore, but they were unable to dig, so they never dared to mine it."
"If Master Lelic is interested, I can point out the location of the iron ore for you, so that the prisoners will naturally have a place to go."
"Oh? Does Winterling still have iron ore?"
Fros hesitated when he said this, but in the end he made up his mind and told his secret.
And this undoubtedly aroused Lynn's interest!
The Winterling is remote and has never been developed in large quantities. No one knows what specific products are available.
This sudden iron ore is naturally a great fortune!
"How dare I deceive Master Rilic?"
At this time, Fros was obviously taking a gamble because he himself knew very well that although he had barely made some contributions when conquering those robbers, no one knew whether this contribution could save his life.
No one wants to die if he can live, but because of this, he told Lynn the secret he had been holding for many years.
"Very good. I will send someone to explore the iron ore. If your words are true, I will remember this credit for you."
The existence of iron ore is very important, and Lin Neng did not hesitate immediately and immediately asked the lord Miss to discuss it.
Although now is the critical moment to fight against robbers, the search for iron ore must not be left behind!
As for that Fros, although he had been evil before, he would definitely be spared the death penalty after he had given the merit of offering mines.
I originally thought about letting him work hard until he died, but now...
Well, he was reluctantly assigned a job to supervise the team leader and let him be responsible for supervising some slaves, which was considered a small reward for his contribution to the mine.
"There is really an iron ore, and it's a big iron ore!"
"I really didn't expect that there were such a rich mineral in Winter's collar. Lynn... This is really great!"
After the Lord's investigation, it was finally confirmed that Flos was indeed not talking nonsense, and there was really iron ore in Winter's collar.
Not only that, but also a large mine, this discovery undoubtedly made the Lord Miss very excited.
In this other world, iron ore can be completely classified as strategic materials. The amount of iron ore can directly affect the strength of a country. There is no false statement in this sentence.
As a result, the importance of the discovery of iron ore to the lord lady is naturally self-evident, and it is no wonder that she was so excited that she couldn't stop after hearing the news.
"Although there is an iron ore, we still have to keep a low profile at the moment, otherwise we may be able to get involved with those vampires, and we may be able to take action against our Winter."
"It just so happens that more and more prisoners are increasing, so let's divide a group of them to dig iron ore."
Iron is actually not short of Lin En. As long as he has money, let alone pig iron, he keeps exchanging energy for steel.
But the problem is that Lynn doesn't want to rely on his gold fingers in everything. After all, the number of gold coins is still limited. What if there is really one day when he recharges all the gold coins from all over the world into the gold fingers, but it is still not enough to exchange them?
Although it is impossible to be so exaggerated, will the lack of a large number of gold coins lead to the outbreak of a financial crisis in another world?
Even if it is just a plan to prepare for the future, Lynn must not do it too much.
So the appearance of this iron ore is indeed a good news for him.
But good news is good news, so we must think carefully about how to deal with it.
Considering the greed of the nobles, once this news is out, they will definitely flock to them like sharks that smell blood. At that time, it will be a problem whether they and the lord can defend the Winter Colony by themselves.
So...
As expected, we should still develop in a low-key manner.
