C26 Tao An and Wang Meng
There was a huge demand for these black iron mines in the territory and even in the continent, but they were not worth much.
First of all, these ore veins had huge reserves on the continent. Because they couldn't be refined and were easy to break, they could only be smelted and made into cheap and simple tools.
This type of product was very easy to saturation, which resulted in no one trying too hard to invest in the black iron mine, and a large amount of the black iron mine veins were idle and no one asking for them.
At the southeastern corner of Yongfeng Ridge was a huge open-air mine that occupied a fifth of the territory. It was unable to cultivate and could not be sold.
In order to make more convenient farming for the people, Zhao Tian set up a workshop to create farming tools for the people of his territory.
As long as Ling Min could transport the mined iron ores over and pay a small amount of fees for the manmade materials, he would be able to request for the tools that he wanted to forge.
This was one of the few industries left in the territory, and it was also a welfare industry. Other than earning a few old blacksmiths' expenses a year, they had almost no income at all.
At this moment, Zhao Fengnian was sitting on a wheelchair, looking at a region of hills that was covered in snow. Behind him were the Aunt Lan and the two palace soldiers in charge of protecting Zhao Fengnian.
A Prefecture Overseer was the person who bought the first cold attribute spirit grass ? Tao An.
Tao An was seventeen years old this year, and was the son of a military man. This family had accompanied Zhao Fengnian's great-grandfather since he came to the Northwest to pioneer, and until now, he was already the fourth generation.
After Tao An's great-grandfather came to the Yongfeng Ridge, they shared some land. Although it was hard work every day, but he was still able to eat his fill.
Slowly, the construction of the territory became better and better, and there were more and more adventurers.
Tao An's father held high hopes for Tao An since he was young, so Tao An had a good meal since childhood. Every day, he did not need Tao An to work, but used the method that the Tao Clan taught him when he was a soldier, allowing Tao An to practice martial arts everyday.
Furthermore, he had been sensitive to spirit energy since he was young, and was already able to be sensed by spirit energy. He was only a step away from reaching Spiritual Energy Level, so his strength could be considered as above average.
After becoming an adult and successfully becoming a soldier of the Yongfeng Ridge, even though Tao An had practiced martial arts since young, his body was still extremely well-proportioned, and from the outside, he looked a little weak.
Tao An felt that his luck was good. Not only had he been selected as a soldier, he had also been lucky enough to buy a spirit grass.
If he completed this task and stayed by Young lord's side, then his future would be much better than becoming a small city soldier.
His name was Wang Meng, and he was in his early thirties this year. Although he did not have much aptitude, and had not stepped into the Spiritual Energy Level yet, because of his calm personality, he was willing to do it, and because he had a very good understanding of the surrounding environment of the territory, he was also sent to protect the Young lord.
In fact, with Zhao Fengnian's own strength, he did not need their protection, but right now, Zhao Fengnian still had not fully recovered his ability to move, and he did not even know anything about fighting, so when Housekeeper Liu heard that he was going to inspect the territory, he arranged for Tao An and Wang Meng to come over to protect them.
