“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.

In his previous life, Dongyu had actually written to him and mentioned this to him.

“Then we can only wait until the treasury is full to make such weapons.” Jiang Yue said. She was a little disappointed. After a pause, she said, “I’ll think about how to fill the national treasury as soon as possible.”

It was better to build a cannon early.

It was made early and used to protect Da Ling.

If Daling was safe, everyone at home would be safe too.

“Yes.” Xue Yan had no objections. However, he paused for a moment before saying, “Actually, I know where there are gold mines in Da Ling. I know quite a few of them.”

There was obviously more to his words, so she said, “What of it?”

“But the gold mines are either in Prince Yings fief or in the fiefs of other princes. Itt s not easy for people to mine them if the property isn’t theirs.

Prince Yi doesn’t know about this though.”

In his previous life, he had helped Prince Yi get rid of Prince Ying and the others, and he had taken back all of their fiefs. Later on, Prince Yi had died, and he had become the regent. Only then had people discovered one gold mine after another on the fiefs of Prince Ying and the others.

It was also because of these gold mines that he had the military supplies to go out and conquer the world.

Jiang Yue thought about it and nodded. “It’s good that Prince Yi doesn’t know. The gold mine is a huge treasure, and once you obtain it, your wealth will instantly increase. As long as you don’t say anything, no one else will know that Prince Ying and the others have a gold mine in their fief. Although Prince Ying and the others have not done anything, they are all disloyal people. Prince Yi might very well use them, so let’s keep this gold mine a secret for now and talk about it later.’

“Yes.” Xue Yan also thought so.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, why are you still holed up in your rooms? It’s already dark, come out and eat.” Xue Erfu, was calling them for dinner.

“Coming.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.

After that, she didn’t say anything else and quickly went out for dinner.

That night, Zou Yi secretly came.

Not only Zou Yi, Zou Er, Zou San, Zou Si, and the other 50 hidden guards in Xinyuan County had all come to acknowledge their masters. When the Shao family nurtured them, they had told them that the Shao family was not their master. Their master was the Crown Prince of Da Ling, Crown Prince Shu.

With so many people, it wasn’t easy to enter the village, so Xue Yan met them at the village entrance.

Jiang Yue was also present.

However, Jiang Yue did not say a word the entire time and just stood beside

Xue Yan.

Actually, not only did Zou Yi and the rest acknowledge Xue Yan as their master, it was also considered that Xue Yan acknowledged Zou Yi and the rest as secret guards. When they met in the future, they wouldn’t dare to confirm whether they were his secret guards or not.

Xue Yan had a photographic memory. In just a while, he remembered everyone’s face..
