Chapter 899 Gold Mine?
"Well, I know, what's wrong?" Judging from her appearance, it didn't seem like she used it to make ice again.
"The main ingredient of gunpowder is saltpeter."
"Gunpowder?"
"Well, it's similar to firecrackers. It's used to explode, but it's more powerful than firecrackers. You know where there are saltpeter mines. One day you will let people mine a lot of saltpeter. I'll make gunpowder and make some cannons. When it is built one day, you will know the power."
Xue Yan understood, but: "Does it take a lot of money to make this?"
"It takes a lot of money." Jiang Yue told the truth. It takes a lot of money just to get people to mine saltpeter.
"The national treasury is not abundant at the moment, and there are many places where Daling needs to spend money." Xue Yan also told the truth and told her the reality. When I went to Brother Dongyu's banquet last time, Brother Dongyu told him this. It's just that she went to the back to find their future third sister-in-law and didn't hear it.
In a previous life, Brother Dongyu actually wrote to him and mentioned this to him.
"Then we can only wait for the national treasury to be sufficient." Jiang Yue said. Not disappointed either. After a pause, he still said: "Looking back, I will think about how the treasury can be filled as quickly as possible."
This cannon is better made earlier.
It was built early and used to protect the big ling.
Dai Ling is safe, and everyone at home is naturally safe.
"Well." Xue Yan had no objection. But he also paused before saying, "Actually, I know where there are gold mines in Daling. I also know a lot of them."
There was something else in his obvious words, so she said, "Then what?"
"But the gold mine is either in the fief of Prince Ying, or in the fief of another prince, so it's not easy for people to mine it." After a pause, he added: "Xuanyuanyi doesn't know about this."
