Looking at the old man kneeling on the ground, Zhao Fengnian also felt that it was unbearable in his heart.
But there was no other way, the secret of the black iron mine could not be leaked out for the time being, it was not that he did not trust this old man, who had served the territory for generations, but rather at that time, with such huge benefits, he could not help but cause people to change their minds and use all sorts of methods to coerce him.
After Li Tiezhu finished swearing his oath, seeing that Zhao Fengnian was not moving, he did not dare move, and could only quietly kneel on the ground.
Zhao Fengnian thought about it for a while and felt that since it was like this, he might as well give this elder a guarantee.
Thinking about this, Zhao Fengnian slowly spoke out: "Elder Li, your family has paid a lot for your territory, now I ask you, are you willing to become my vassal?
Li Tiezhu was nervously waiting for Zhao Fengnian to speak, until Zhao Fengnian finally spoke. However, after hearing everything, Li Tiezhu couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Could it be that he misheard? The Young lord wanted him to become his subordinate? This...
What virtue or ability did he have? What virtue and ability did his family have? This was truly a great gift! Previously, the Lord was already able to take care of them, but now, the Young lord ?
Thinking about it, Li Tiezhu could no longer remain calm, his entire body trembled with excitement, his old eyes overflowing with tears, his hands spread out horizontally above his head, and he choked with sobs: "What qualifications do I have to receive such a gift? My Li Family will follow you until death, sharing the honor and disgrace! Never betray! "
Zhao Fengnian clapped both of Li Tiezhu's hands together, and then helped him up.
Li Tiezhu recovered his seat and recovered his wits, then turned to Zhao Fengnian and said solemnly: "Young Lord, may I ask what Young Lord needs me to do? I will not disappoint you! "
Zhao Fengnian nodded his head, and said: "Yes, there are indeed things that needs Elder Li to do. First of all, I would like to ask, Elder Li, you have worked in the Iron Refining Workshop for most of your life, have you discovered that the black iron that you refine are all different?"
Li Tiezhu thought for a moment after hearing Zhao Fengnian's words, then nodded: "Indeed, all these years of forging iron, refining iron, due to the different materials, temperature and even weather, will cause the nature of the black iron to change."
Seeing Li Tiezhu's reply, Zhao Fengnian nodded his head in satisfaction: "Since Elder Li had already discovered this change, then does Elder Li think that the black iron would use some sort of method to make it closer to the toughness and strength of the Refined Iron?"
Elder Li was shocked when he heard Zhao Fengnian's words. black iron was refined into Refined Iron? He had never thought of this as true. In his mind, black iron were just black iron, and Refined Iron were two different substances.
But Young lord had said those words, Young lord would definitely not casually bring it up to tease him. He was sure that Young lord had some ideas, that might really be able to turn black iron into Refined Iron!
This... This was simply too unbelievable. If this could happen, then his Iron Refining Workshop, his territory, and the Young lord would benefit greatly from this.
No wonder the Young lord said that this matter was so serious before, this matter was something that had to be serious about. Once the news was revealed, a small Yongfeng Ridge would be torn into pieces by the great forces, and not even his bones would remain!
Seeing Li Tiezhu not saying anything for a long time, Zhao Fengnian knew that he was also shocked by the information given to him.
He then spoke out: "Elder Li's guess is right, I have an idea to turn the black iron into a Refined Iron, but it is still not ripe yet, so I need to experiment and think it through step by step."
"This is also the reason why I have come here today, and also the reason why I am so serious."
