Chapter 1296: Someone comes, drag him out

Hearing this, Soantu almost couldn't help but swear.

Originally, he came with the wool that was pulled from Daqin, but now that Daqin's wool that has not been pulled from Daqin, he is still going to be pulled from Daqin!?

So Antu felt that this request was too rude, and Huang Jitian, as the Thirteenth Prince of the Jin Kingdom, could not agree to it anyway.

but···

"What ore?" Huang Jitian asked.

Hearing this, Soantu was still at ease.

After all, the prince of Daqin opposite is irritable, and even if he refuses, it is not easy to ask too directly. First, ask what ore it is. I believe that no matter what ore the prince of Daqin answers, his thirteenth prince will definitely refuse.

Thinking of this, Soantu felt that the Thirteenth Prince was quite skillful and not as useless as he imagined.

"Saltpeter mine."

Li Chen replied: "This thing has consumed a lot recently, and there was not much exploration of saltpeter ore before. It is urgent to be needed now, so it is too late to explore it. I heard that there are several saltpeter ore that have been discovered in the Jin Dynasty. The output is huge, which is just right for emergency response."

As soon as he heard of the saltpeter mine, Suoantu curled his lips, feeling that the prince of Daqin was too whimsical.

Everyone knows that saltpeter is used to make gunpowder.

In the past, gunpowder had little effect in wars. Even the Qin Dynasty, which had the most advanced science and technology, had only developed the red-clothed cannon.

But although its power is great, it is too bulky and costly, so its real combat performance is not strong. Otherwise, it would not have been suppressed by Liao and Jin for a long time in military affairs.

Therefore, before that, saltpeter was mostly used for the folk making gunpowder, fireworks and sorcerers to refine alchemy. Although it was widely used, the consumption was actually not large, so the price was also very cheap.

But now that the Qin Empire has developed a powerful weapon like musket, the demand for saltpeter will increase significantly, which is something that the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom have long thought of.

Even if the two countries are now working together to fight against Liao, the restrictions that should be held should still be retained.

So Suoantu felt that the Thirteenth Prince was even more unlikely to agree to Li Chen’s conditions now.

However, no matter how rich Suantu's inner drama is, it will not affect Huangji's talent at all.

He nodded very barely and said, "No problem. A few years ago, there were two saltpeter mines, one big and one small, on the fiefdom given by my father a few years ago. A lot of inventory has been accumulated over the years. I can send someone to deliver the saltpeter mines immediately. If the Qin Dynasty still needs it, it will not be difficult to continue to increase the mining volume."

At this moment, Soantu really couldn't hold back.

He said, "Thirteenth Prince, how can you make a decision without even asking about the country?"

Huang Jitian frowned and said, "Saltpe ore is not a treasure, not to mention that it is on my fiefdom. It belongs to me and everything is at my own discretion. Why do you need to ask others?"

"Is it possible? Will you still have to agree with your Lord Suoantu?"

So Antu was so angry that his beard shook, and he stamped his feet and said, "The Thirteenth Prince is confused!"

"What a fool to do?"

Huang Jitian said impatiently: "Are you done with an old guy? I asked Your Highness for your face to keep you here, so that you can listen, not let you interrupt!"

Suo Antu was still about to speak, but saw Li Chen looking at him expressionlessly.
