he prince to see me. If you have anything to say, please leave.""is the queen sure she wants her son and minister to speak here" Li Chen said with a smile. Inside the curtain of thedoor, Zhao Qinglan...Chapter 1296 someone dragged him out
hearing this, Soanto almost couldn't help swearing.
originally he came with the wool of Daqin in his arms, but now the wool of Daqin has not been found, so he has to be turned back by Daqin!
Suo Antu felt that this request was too rude, and Huangji, as the thirteen elder brother of the Kingdom of Jin, could not agree to it anyway.
but
"what ore" Huang Ji asked.
to hear this, Suoantu is still at ease.
after all, the prince of Daqin opposite has a bad temper, and even if he refuses, it is not too direct. First ask what kind of ore it is, and presumably no matter what mine Prince Daqin answers, his thirteen elder brothers will certainly refuse.
when he thought of this, Suo Antu still felt that the thirteen elder brother was quite skillful and not as useless as he had imagined.
"saltpetre ore."
Li Chen replied, "this substance has been consumed a lot recently, but there has not been much exploration for saltpeter mines before. It is urgently needed now, and it is too late to explore again. However, I have heard that there are several saltpetre mines that have already been discovered in your country, and their output is huge, which is just suitable for emergency use."
as soon as he heard about the saltpeter mine, Suo Antu curled his mouth and thought that Prince Qin was too whimsical.
everyone knows that saltpeter is used to make gunpowder.
before, gunpowder did not play an important role in the war. Even Daqin, the most advanced in science and technology, only developed the red cannon.
but although it is powerful, it is really too bulky and costly, so its real combat performance is not strong, otherwise it would not have been overwhelmed militarily by Liao and Jin for a long time.
so before that, saltpeter was mostly used by the folk to make gunpowder, fireworks and sorcerer alchemy. Although it had a wide range of uses, the consumption was not large, so the price was very cheap.

but now that the Qin Empire has come up with a sharp weapon like a musket, the demand for saltpeter will increase greatly, which has long been thought of by the Jin government.
even if the two countries are now working together to fight Liao, the restrictions that should be put in place should be retained.
so Suo Antu feels that Brother 13 is even more unlikely to agree to Li Chen's terms now.
however, no matter how rich the inner drama of Suo Antu is, it will not affect Huangji's talent at all.
he nodded very single and said, "No problem. A few years ago, there were two saltpetre mines on a piece of closed land given to me by my father. Over the years, I have also accumulated a lot of inventory one after another. I can send someone to deliver the saltpeter mine right away. If Daqin still needs it, it will not be difficult to continue to increase the production volume."
this time, Soanto really can't hold back.
he said, "Brother Thirteen, how can you make decisions without even asking about China"
Huang Jitian frowned and said, "saltpetre is not something to cherish, not to mention that it is on my fief, which belongs to it, and everything is at my disposal, so why ask others"
"is it difficult to get approval from you, Lord Soanto"
Suo Antu's beard trembled with anger. He stamped his foot and said, "Brother Shisan is confused!"
"what are you confused about"
Huang Jitian said impatiently, "are you done with this old thing" I asked your Highness to do me a favor to let you stay here. I asked you to sit in, not to interrupt! "
Suo Antu wanted to speak, but he saw Li Chen looking at him without expression.
