"Yes, I know where it is. Why?" From the looks of it, she didn't seem to be using it to make ice again.
"Saltpeter is the main ingredient for gunpowder."
"Gunpowder?"
"Yeah, it's similar to firecrackers. It's used to blow up things, but it's much more powerful than firecrackers. One day, you can get someone to mine a large amount of saltpeter. I'll make gunpowder and make some cannons. When the cannons are fired, you'll know the power they can hold."
Xue Yan's curiosity piqued, "Does it require a lot of money to make this?"
"It does require a lot of money." Jiang Yue said truthfully. Just getting people to mine saltpeter required a lot of money.
"Right now, the national treasury isn't abundant, and there are many places that need money." Xue Yan also spoke the truth, telling her the reality. Dongyu had told him about this the last time he attended the banquet. At that time, Jiang Yue had already left.
