Strange negotiations with miners

24th April 1574

"So you don't want to earn double and keep a positive relationship with the one person capable of driving you out of work just because?"

Rather than flaring up in anger, I decided to pry into the reasons of this miner. With how good those strange negotiations were going, for this man to suddenly do a one hundred eighty degrees turn with his attitude, meant that I had to strike some nerve of his without even realising it.

"Just like I said, you can go and shove your nice speech down your ass. We have families to feed, and we won't bet their starvation on some random noble word!"

So that was the reason!

While I could expect it, with how for most of the people their wage meant the means to get by before the next payment would arrive, as someone from the future when despite how bad the economy in my country was, if someone used his money smart, he could still create a comfortable buffer in case something happened, making him suddenly lose his income.
