Chapter 861

When Zhang Heng looks at daijiwusi, daijiwusi is also peeking at Zhang Heng.

He had read Zhang Heng's letter of appointment, and knew that the Oriental was a new consultant appointed by Kang maode, who had come to deal with the unfavorable situation of the bronze statue.

Daikius wiped his cold sweat and said, "there's no problem with the craftsmen. We've already cast all the models. We just need to pour in the bronze solution, and then wait for the solution to cool before breaking the outer layer. But recently, there was an accident in binota mine, which has been supplying us with copper ore. The tunnel collapsed and was buried for about 20 years We don't know when they'll be able to start again. There's no ore, and we don't go on

"How about another mine? Do you have any alternatives?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes, there are four mines in the outskirts of Rome. Pinota is just a small mine. We also signed an agreement with another mine. If pinota can't satisfy us, then another mine will deliver copper ore to us, but..." Dekius was not ready to speak.

"But what?"

"But recently, the emperor is casting new copper coins. The ore from other mines has been given priority to supply there, and they have no extra ore to give us." Dekius said.

"What about copper mines from other cities?"

"In addition, the transportation cost is nearly twice as high as the price, and it will take time to transport it. I'm afraid it's too late for the construction period." Daijiwusi also appears very helpless, he is not the legitimate son, can't inherit his father's seat in the Senate, so his father in order not to let him starve to death, hard to get him this job, originally thought he would do well, can get Commaud's appreciation, in the future can also get a stable job.

As a result, the work that can't be done in any way seems to be done by him. Daijiwusi was also very wronged. He didn't take a kickback, and he didn't treat the people below badly. He was always trembling, but somehow he capsized the boat. It can only be said that his luck was a little too bad.

However, the new consultant didn't seem to think so. After hearing that there was no way to deliver the bronze statue, Zhang Heng asked dejius, "you said there was an accident in binota mine. Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Ah?" Daijiwusi smell speech some silly eyes, "this matter also want me to see, according to our bilateral contract, late delivery, is to pay a fine."

"How much?"

"Well, it's about 20 OLLIS a day. It's not a small sum. After so many days' delay, I'm afraid they have no profit to make this time. It's estimated that they will have to pay a lot of money if they drag on the mine."

"20 OLLIS a day, even if the mines can't afford it, there are plenty of people in this city who can afford it." Zhang Heng said faintly, but he didn't say any more. It's obvious that the infighting between kangmaode and the Senate can't be known by the small role of dejius. Zhang Heng just said, "you know where the binota mine is, let's go together."

"Now?" Daijiwusi smell speech some embarrassed, "but it's not time to finish work."

"Are you working now?"

"No No Said dejius truthfully.

"Then prepare the carriage." Zhang Heng finally said.

“…………”

Although daijiwusi didn't understand why Zhang Heng had to go to the mine, he dutifully introduced binota mine to Zhang Heng and its owner. According to the information provided by daijiwusi, the owner of binota mine was a big landlord named Cobb.

He was born in an ordinary family. He was just a powerless civilian, but he fell in love with a girl named mania by accident. The father of the latter was very rich and owned a large field and two mines. Binota was one of them. Mania's father didn't like Cobb and always opposed his daughter's association with this poor boy. However, he didn't have time to choose a good one My son-in-law died of illness.

After that, mania married Cobb, and her father had no other children. Cobb became the new owner of this large field and two mines. He also got the nickname of a lucky Cobb.

"I've known the lucky Cobb for a while." Daikius said, "I bought a batch of grain from him before. He didn't speak much for my family, but he was reliable. I don't think he would lie about mine accidents, and it's not good for him."

Zhang Heng heard the speech noncommittal, just continued to ask, "do you know who he usually contacts more, or who is his biggest buyer?"

"Well, Cobb basically spent most of his time touring the farmland, or wandering around two mines. Although he is not bad, he is not the kind of person who especially likes to make friends. As for his biggest buyer, I heard that he sold all the wheat he planted to the elder Divo Braille. More than half of the grain stores in Rome are owned by Divo Braille."

"Who?"

"Devobraille, what, do you know him?"Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he heard the name of an acquaintance. It was the Jewish gang and golden crown who asked him to deal with him. It was because Zhang Heng agreed to this request that he got the development right of the patrol in the southeast city. Later, the three forces in the southeast city even helped him pass the assessment perfectly.

However, Zhang Heng does not know whether this incident is related to dvorayer, and if so, how deeply dvorayer is involved. But Zhang Heng's intuition tells him at the first time that he may also be able to use this incident to pull dvorayer into the water.

On the other side, dejius also looks envious. Zhang Heng is his idol. He was born as a gladiator. He has climbed to the position of adviser all the way. He seems to know many big figures just after entering the political arena. Although Dior has less influence than Dior in the Senate, he can't be underestimated. And Dior brayer is an old fox As a last resort, if you don't choose a side station, you won't offend people. There are many friends in the Senate.

Daijiwusi is thinking about how to let Zhang Heng introduce him to devobraye, so that he can have a way out after his job is ruined, so that he won't be as miserable as a civilian.

But before he could speak, the carriage had driven out of the path in the woods, and the destination of their trip was binota mine.
