Chapter 265: Do it yourself

In fact, Robb found that the iron ore production in Westwind Town was very bad.

The last time he negotiated a deal with the Queen, he bought all the iron ingots from the miners in Westwind Town at three times the price, and turned them all into iron swords and armor.

Two hills were piled up in the yard, which seemed to be many, however…

Her Majesty bought it all without blinking an eye. It was not enough. Just enough to arm a leopard army and a bear army.

Her Majesty is still eager to get more of this "high-quality" equipment.

However, the production capacity of iron ingots in Westwind Town is extremely poor, and the miners belong to "unsupervised" wild-digging operations, with no government intervention, no organization and coordination, and all rely on old mines to dig and do their own work.

The way they do things is doomed to have a low production capacity. A person has to dig in the mine for a long time before he can knock down a few pieces of ore from the vein, and then carry out the hole on his own, smelt, purify, and do a series of processes. He doesn’t know how many days it will take to get an iron ingot.

In the past, iron ingots were worth one silver coin, but they could only earn two or three silver coins a month.

The last time Robb offered three silver coins for a purchase, it raised everyone's income to six to nine silver coins, but that was less than that of a regular sugar maker.

When Robb chatted with the mayor a few days ago, he also learned that the Westwind Town mines had actually collapsed many times, because the miners had dug themselves in. Once the mine collapsed, it all depended on other townspeople to organize a rescue spontaneously, and the rescue efficiency was extremely inefficient. Basically, as soon as the mine collapsed, all the people inside died and no one would live[MP1] .

The plan put forward by Robb just now to build a small railway track and transport the ore out by trolley was in the hands of a group of disorganized miners, but it could not be implemented, because no one was willing to pay to repair the railway track, and no one would pay for the trolley.

If funds are raised, the right to use the trolley and the cost of maintenance will also be fought over.

As for the unified smelting of ore into iron ingots, it is even more impossible. I do not know how much skin will be pulled into the distribution of iron ingots at that time.

With these guys, we can never increase the output of iron ingots in Westwind Town.

And Robb is about to get a lot of oil, and at that time he will need to build a wide variety of things that will make people blind and make the world look ret**ded.
