Hearing this, Luni immediately knelt down in front of John. "I have drifted through half my life without meeting you, and now, if you do not abandon me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, John hurriedly helped him up, joking that this guy was so afraid of dying that he dared to say such things, almost scaring himself in the process. He certainly did not want to become Dong Zhuo, and Luni was not Wen Hou.
"There's no need for such formality, Mr. Luni! We warmly welcome you to our Salty Fish Village Knight's Domain!" John said with a broad smile.
Upon hearing this, Luni quickly changed his address from "Mr." to "My Lord": "Thank you, Lord John! It is truly an honor to be part of this vibrant and hopeful place!"
Then, Luni glanced around to ensure no one was paying attention to them before bending down and leaning closer to John, lowering his voice cautiously. "My Lord, may I ask if you have come here to purchase iron ore?"
"Oh? Why do you think so?" John asked, intrigued, his gaze fixed curiously on Luni.
Luni hurriedly explained, "When you last visited here, I noticed that you were no ordinary person; you are a man of great ambition with a clear plan for your territory. Someone like you, who understands the path to territorial development, would certainly not be satisfied with just acquiring a Blacksmith Apprentice after spending a large sum of money. I suspect you must have successfully trained several skilled blacksmiths."
"Haha, very good! Then why don't you take another guess at how many blacksmiths I currently have under my command?" John asked with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone.
Luni pondered for a moment before slowly answering, "My Lord, since your last visit here, it has been over half a year. Based on my estimation, you probably have at least ten blacksmiths by now."
"You guessed wrong!" John replied with a smile, a glimmer of pride in his eyes. "I have as many as twenty qualified blacksmiths under my command and thirty Blacksmith Apprentices as well!"
In the past three months, John had boldly reformed agricultural tools. Thanks to the knowledge he gained in history class, he was inspired by ancient curved plows and waterwheels. These innovations allowed Salty Fish Village to no longer rely heavily on a large labor force of serfs; the demand for human labor decreased significantly, enabling more land to be cultivated.
As a result, more personnel were allocated to the blacksmith shop for training and work. Now, the blacksmith shop could produce over two hundred excellent Wu Lans daily—a considerable output. As John put it himself, this blacksmith shop was like a hen laying golden eggs continuously!
Upon hearing this, Luni's eyes widened in surprise. He truly did not expect such impressive results and secretly marveled: It seems my Lord Ling really does possess some genuine talent!
At that moment, Luni seemed to remember something important and quickly spoke up: "My Lord, may I share a small suggestion? I recently learned that a Chamber of Commerce is about to sell one of its shops. If you are interested in establishing yourself in Wutan City, this might be a great opportunity."
"A Chamber of Commerce? Establish myself?" John's interest was piqued at once. Wutan City was renowned as a major commercial hub in the surrounding area! If he could successfully set up shop there, he would not have to worry about sales channels for his products in the future—his prospects would be bright!
As he swirled the wine in his glass casually, John asked Luni nonchalantly across the table: "How much does it cost?" He squinted slightly as if not particularly concerned about the price but still curious.
