"That's right, Lingnan has iron and copper mines that can be used for forging weapons." He Lianfang ignored Zhao Yao's astonished expression and continued, "Lingnan is far from the capital, so forging weapons there would not be detected by the capital. Moreover, nations like Annan and Siam also have iron and copper mines, and by then, we can forge weapons in these foreign countries as well."
"Second Uncle, you've really thought this through." Zhao Yao realized that He Lianfang hadn't come up with this idea on a whim, but had been thinking about it for a long time, only now getting the chance to speak about it. "Second Uncle, have you been planning these things all along?"
He Lianfang admitted frankly, "That's right, since you have acknowledged me as your master, naturally I have to think comprehensively for you."
Zhao Yao said irritably, "Well, I really must thank you then."
