There is a faint light at the mouth of the mine, and at the edge of the river, two thousand feet from the mine, the water is filtered and poured into a water wheel that is poured into a generator to rotate it, and the water wheel converts the water energy into mechanical energy, and the engine converts the mechanical energy into electrical output.

Runes were engraved on the inner walls that were invisible to outsiders, and those runes were also shimmering - something the maid hadn't expected, she didn't expect that electricity could activate runes as well.

However, this does not seem to be a surprise, and in the final analysis, electricity is also a kind of energy, which is not very different from natural energy.

As I said before, there is magic in everything, and the elements are the basic units of matter, and magic is the 'rope' that connects these basic units.

This is also one of the most strange things in this world - people can clearly perceive the existence of 'elements' and 'magic', but they don't find 'atoms' or 'molecules', and they don't know much about 'bacteria', and seem to take these things for granted without in-depth research.

Even Ziegler discovered this blind spot only after the maid gave him the relevant knowledge of chemistry and physics.

Unfortunately, mana can't light up the lights, and it's not 'active' compared to electricity—even after it's 'activated' by the Furnace.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be many people in this world now, and no creature could survive in a magical environment other than the dragons.

The electricity converted by the engine is transported to the mine in Santans Town through cables wrapped in an insulating layer, which in turn lights up the mine and provides enough light for the miners, a move that excites the miners.

After agriculture, commerce, medicine, it's finally their turn!

Instead of mining with torches, they don't have to worry about digging ore in the dim light as long as they avoid wires and lights.

The maid and the goddess of wealth have crept up to see what has happened to the mines after obtaining the generators and electric lights.

The railroad tracks stretched from the hole to the depths of the mine, and the appearance of mine carts also made it easier for the miners to transport ore, greatly reducing their stress.

If it weren't for the invention of mechanically powered tractors, miners would have worked much more efficiently.

There are several stewards and a few overseers in each mine in the Duchy of Grief, and the stewards are naturally the stewards who were once appointed, but the overseers are sent by the current official government.

Corruption is the most common in such small places, and although the maids don't care if they are corrupt or not, corruption greatly reduces efficiency, and each mine distributes different funds according to the number of personnel and work efficiency, and if the miners do not have enough to eat and their safety is not guaranteed, in this era when slave labor cannot be used, no one will come to work here soon.

These mines were not yet state-owned resources, and were still in the hands of the aristocracy, who were only paid for food, insurance, and equipment, and had to be paid by the nobles themselves.

All the ore excavated was purchased by the state, so the nobles could not sell the ore for a high price, so they often tried to lower the wages of the miners.

In this period of peaceful transition, there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, once a nobleman overexploits the miners in his mine, they may flee the mine, because they have no 'contract' with them, and they only come to the mine to work.

If the miners fled, the nobles would have to swallow the breath, and they would have to suffer for themselves.

Later, a ghost did away with the 'fixed salary' – which they used to squeeze the miners – and replaced it with a 'performance wage', which guaranteed them income.

Because the head maid who hated them so much had instituted the so-called 'eight-hour workday', they had to comply with it, or they would be subject to a 'fine'.

The stewards and supervisors of the mine are at odds with each other, working together but supervising each other, and if anyone reports the other's corruption, if it is confirmed, that person may be 'promoted' or leave the mine.

The mines are a top priority for the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and to be honest, as managers, their salaries are not low, and even if they are not corrupt, they can ensure that they and their families live a good enough life.

But the human heart is hard to satisfy, and after a few examples, the stewards and overseers finally admit that the head maid is a man of his word, and that those who have reported the corrupt have indeed been promoted.

These cases gave them great encouragement, and in this era when there were not many avenues for ascension, the existence of the Principality of Grief was an outlier.

Because it's too advanced, it's unbelievable, and because it's too advanced, it's hostile to others.

Everything seemed to be fine at the moment, and even Latinia nodded in satisfaction, she had never seen such an advanced mine - such a mine was advanced enough that other countries would be reluctant to make 'rails' out of steel.

But at this moment, Latinia's expression suddenly became strange, and the maid noticed this.

“...... Sera. Latinia looked at the intellectual woman beside her, who was always full of whimsical ideas, "I suddenly received a message......

The maid blinked, looking at her reaction, the news should be related to herself.

"What's the news?" the maid tilted her head.

"More is planning to deal with us...... No, no, no, don't frown yet, things aren't what you think!"

Speaking of this, Latinia paused for a moment, and after sorting out her thoughts, she said with a smile: "Suddenly, there is a news spread among the merchants who came to the Duchy of Sorrow with their goods, that is, 'The Moore Merchant Federation is planning to deal with us', and they also say that Moore wants to use a dignified plan to force us to accept the ...... with a public opinion offensive."

Now, the maid also understood.

She narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "However, Moore has no plans to deal with us for the time being—you want to say that, right? I remember you told me before that you would like to take this opportunity to scare Mohr, because those merchant nobles are doing their best to prevent the export of raw materials from their country to us, but they can't stop it. ”

"That is to say......"

The maid smiled and shook her head, "Someone is deliberately inciting and deliberately publicizing this unwarranted thing, so who is behind this, and what is the purpose?"

The Goddess of Fortune suddenly perked up and her eyes widened, "You mean, it's possible that the Plague Church did this?"

"I didn't say that!"

To Latina's surprise, Serena shook her head.

The maid looked at the sky with a smile on her lips, "This may be the Plague Church's ghosts, but it could also be the merchants." Is it a coincidence that we just released the news that we were going to borrow money from the royal family of Raizel?"

"I think it's probably the fake news that the merchants themselves have come up with to make us eat their food so that they don't lose money. ”

Latinia nodded thoughtfully, then pursed her lips again, she thought the Plague Church would be enough soon!

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh sadly, and muttered, "Why hasn't the Plague Church taken the bait......"

The Duchy of Sorrow doesn't have much background, and the reason why it can continue to buy raw materials now is because of Latinia's own private money, as a goddess who loves treasures, she naturally collects many mortal treasures.

If this continues, maybe the Principality of Sorrow will really have to 'loan' to the Church of Wealth.

After all, Latinia doesn't have much 'cash' to pay, and although she is now tied to the Duchy of Sorrow, the maid doesn't allow her to help for free.

Listening to Latinia's muttering, the maid smiled slightly......

Really, isn't it?

She couldn't get it for sure...... ()
