In Kashin, when mining was in full swing, Rostislav encountered a problem, a very, very big problem.

In recent times, as the output of silver ore has become less and less, and the amount of lead ore has increased, Rostislav felt that something was very wrong.

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

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

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

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

The look in Rostislav's eyes made him feel a little embarrassed, but the Greek engineer who headed him still told the truth under pressure. It can't be true if it's false, and it can't be true if it's true. Even now, lying can't be concealed for a moment.

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 sake of protecting his own safety, he never told the truth.

"Damn it, damn it, it's impossible, it can't be like this!"

Rostislav said in disbelief. The information from later generations clearly stated that this was a huge silver mine, and that the Moscow-Tver War in later generations was caused by it. How could this be just an associated mine? (Remark 1)

This was the first time since he came to Northeastern Rus that he was so angry. Seeing the prince as an engineer, he didn't even dare to breathe. He was afraid of arousing this man's anger and becoming the target of his anger. He also vowed in his heart that he would never bring his anger to him.

He had already discovered the problem and told him.

There is a reason why the prince is so furious. He has spread the news about a huge silver mine here, told his relatives, obtained the manpower provided by them, and promised a corresponding share. Now he is asked to tell

Did the relatives themselves make a mistake?

Rostislav was unable to sit on the chair. This was such a huge blow to him. He put his hands on his forehead and closed his eyes tightly. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but no one else in the room dared to move and could only remain silent.

Waiting for the prince.

Finally, after five minutes passed, Rostislav finally adjusted his mood and stabilized his breathing, but the engineer still did not dare to breathe. Everyone saw the prince's gaffe. It was the first time they met.

Seeing this normally gentle and elegant prince acting so rude, he couldn't help but remain silent.

“How long can the silver mine be mined?”

Rostislav's tone returned to calmness. To solve the problem now, there is no point in being angry. We must first know how long the silver mine can be mined.

Engineers, you looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, the leading Greek engineer responded to the prince's words.

"According to the current situation, we can still last for three months, but if we add more people, it will be difficult to say."

"Three months, okay, that's enough time to hold on for a while. You all go down, the news can't be exposed, and send another team to look for other mines nearby."

"yes."

The engineers responded repeatedly, and then hurriedly retreated. It was really scary to deal with this person this time, as if he was going to eat someone the next moment.

After the engineers left, Rostislav called for his captain.

"Find a few smarter soldiers and keep an eye on them. The information cannot be exposed. If necessary, shut them up."

The impact of information leakage is much greater than the lives of several engineers. Engineers can be recruited again, but it will be over if the information is leaked. He cannot let the truth leak out now.

"I'll make arrangements immediately."

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

However, not long after the soldiers left, Rostislav received a piece of news, news that made him want to break out immediately.

Teams from Poland and Hungary arrived in Moscow.

————————

"Aha, is this the city my nephew built? It looks stylish and pretty good."

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

"It is this nephew who has even reserved a site for future city expansion. Well, he has really thought deeply. It seems that he is determined to build Moscow into the largest city in Northeastern Russia. He is very ambitious."

This middle-aged man wears a pointed hat, an expensive fur coat, and smooth leather boots. He looks like a grassland dignitary. He is indeed a prairie dignitary, but he is not from the south, but from the west.

of Hungary.

"Boy over there, don't be so grim. Come and take a look. You've been like a dull gourd all this way."

The middle-aged man looked at the young man who was drinking mead. The blond young man was wearing chain mail and a blouse covered with red leaves on the hills. He looked like a warrior going into battle. He looked handsome, but he was just pretending.

He had a stinky face and didn't know what he was thinking.

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

"You are somewhat similar to Kazimierz. I can probably guess your origin. You were actually exiled here. Kazimierz's power comes from his marriage to Rus, so your story can only be told in Poland.

Expand beyond, I am right, little Mieszko."

"Edward of the Wessex family, don't talk too much. My story may be just like what you told me. Then why are you here?"

A cold glint flashed in Mieszko's eyes, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Edward prying into his experience like this, and then he changed the topic.

"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 to see if I can be there

This is also Andrew's wish for us to gain power and settle down here."

Edward said in a meaningless tone that he had nothing to do in Hungary anyway, so he might as well go out on an adventure and contribute some help to His Majesty the King of Hungary who took him in.

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

Hearing this, Meshko didn't reply, and quietly closed his mouth, but there was still a bit of disdain and disgust in his eyes.

Edward smiled even more happily, this young man was impressed by him.

"But the desolation of this land is beyond my imagination. Along the way, dozens of my subordinates' horses got stuck in the swamp. In the next few days, I will have to break some more horses. It's really hard for my nephew.

.”

Edward changed the topic and his tone was full of praise for Rostislav. This kid left his wealthy hometown to build an industry here, and he did a decent job. It was rare for him at his age, and this time Mesh

Ke didn't cast any disdainful glances.

Note 1: On the Chinese Wiki, there is indeed something 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. In other words, someone made a fake, probably because of fighting beasts or something. If I hadn’t hired someone after seeing it,

I went to check it out and it turned out to be a trick.

And our protagonist fell into the trap and believed the fake news, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
