"Has father been buried? How is the situation at home now?"
Jade answered Xie Yan's questions one by one.
At this time, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound outside. Fu Bao happily ran to Xie Yan and said something, but the sound outside was too high, so Xie Yan couldn't hear a word clearly.
"Fu Bao, what did you just say?"
"Thank you sister, I said we must have successfully researched the ammunition!"
Fu Bao's smiling face made him overflow with joy.
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was opened by someone, and it was Lieutenant General Liu who couldn't hide his joy.
"Thank you, girl, I really need to thank you!"
"It's done?"
Xie Yan's tone was calm. Perhaps he had known for a long time that this ammunition would be successful and was not as happy as Lieutenant General Liu.
"Yes. Not only was it successful, but its explosion was indeed much better than the previous ammunition. Listen to the sound of the explosion. Previously, it took three or four ammunition to achieve such an effect. Today we only use
Got one, it’s awesome!”
The more Lieutenant General Liu talked, the happier he became. It seemed that victory in the war was within easy reach.
"This time it's up to us to defeat the Si Kingdom and let them know that Apocalypse's men are not to be trifled with!"
"Uncle Liu, then we have to buy sulfur quickly. We can't let them know that sulfur is a good thing! It's best if we deliberately tell them that we are making ammunition and raise the price of saltpeter so that they all buy saltpeter.
!When the war is over, everyone will know that sulfur is a good thing, and the price of saltpeter will definitely plummet."
"Saltpeter is very important in Si country. It will definitely hit Si country hard by then!"
"Good Fortune, I'll do as you say! Let them see how powerful we Tianqi people are!"
The more Lieutenant General Liu talked, the happier he became. He called the soldiers directly and asked them to quickly buy sulfur.
At night, in Xie Yan's small yard, the man who had been with Xie Yan during the day said he would swear allegiance to Xie Yan and secretly tied a note to the pigeon's leg.
The next day, Feicui walked out of Jiang Mansion and was caught off guard by someone covering her mouth and nose and dragged to a deserted alley.
"Jade, are you telling the truth?"
the restaurant spy asked.
"Why are you here? We don't always exchange letters. If someone catches us, our identities will be exposed!"
Jade arranged her clothes and did not answer the man's question.
"It's a big deal, I have to check it out."
"Decai, how can I lie to you! I saw this with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Tianqi has developed a sulfur-based ammunition. I don't know the power of the explosion yet, but I can clearly hear the sound.
Bai Bai. The sound is deafening, it can match the sound of seven or eight of our ammunitions."
"There is also the purchase of sulfur. I saw with my own eyes that their deputy general's signature on the military order is correct."
"But I heard from others that they need a lot of saltpeter to make ammunition now."
Decai hesitated to speak.
"You fell into Tianqi's plan."
Jade interrupted De Cai's words.
"What they are planning now is to let us buy saltpeter like crazy. When the time comes, we will be unable to sell the saltpeter in our own hands, and the court will be in turmoil."
"We can't let them take advantage of us!"
"yes!"
Decai gritted his teeth and said, "The Tianqi people are too cunning. Fortunately, we have you, otherwise we would definitely be in trouble this time. Just wait, I will spread the news right away."
Because ammunition requires a large amount of saltpeter, the supply of saltpeter in the country has always been in short supply, even to the point where it is worth dry gold. The cost of making ammunition is also staggering. Some people once joked that ammunition is not made of saltpeter, but gold.
of.
Under such circumstances, even if the Si Kingdom received clear information from the spies, they were still reluctant to give up this golden tree.
It wasn't until Apocalypse's soldiers purchased more and more sulfur items, to the point where they didn't even need spies to understand, that the Si Kingdom discovered that Apocalypse had actually developed sulfur-based ammunition.
At this time, news also came out that Tianqi wanted to make ammunition and needed saltpeter. Step by step, it turned out to be exactly what the spies said! Si Guo was so cruel that he simply gave up saltpeter and chose sulfur.
Everyone speculated on how far the price of saltpeter would rise this year. The result was surprising. Not only did the price of saltpeter not increase, it even dropped a lot!
"General, there is news!"
Lieutenant General Liu came striding over. Jiang Nian stopped Lieutenant General Liu and said something.
"Don't tell me yet. Let me, the general, guess whether it's good news or good news about ammunition."
"The general is wise!"
"What is wise..."
Jiang Nian waved his hand.
"Now this news has spread all over the city, who doesn't know yet? If I can't guess it anymore, I will really be a fool. By the way, where is Fubao?"
Jiang Nian asked the maid beside him.
"Miss Fubao is playing in Miss Xie's yard. I'm going to call her over right away."
Jiang Nian nodded, and the maid went down to call someone.
"Why did the general call Miss Fubao?"
Vice General Liu asked with some curiosity. It is true that Miss Fubao is smart, but she is a child who is not yet ten years old after all. What can she understand if she is called here?
"You don't understand, this Fu Bao is more powerful and capable than us adults."
It didn't take much effort before Fubao arrived.
"Vice General Liu, go on."
"The situation in Si country is better than we thought. They have kept the price of saltpeter very low, almost the same price as sulfur. It stands to reason that even if the news is released, our ammunition has not been used by more people.
People know that if they no longer collect saltpeter, why is it sold at almost a cheap price? This is tantamount to cutting off an arm. I will never worry that there is a conspiracy in this."
"Vice-General Liu, don't worry. The reason why Si country keeps the price of saltpeter very low is for two reasons."
"The first reason is that there is too much saltpeter in the country. Although ammunition requires a large amount of saltpeter, the amount is far from enough for the saltpeter itself. If we have to wait until the day when the amount of saltpeter is reduced, the loss will be too great. Secondly,
The first reason is to raise funds. If the price of saltpeter drops a lot now, will Deputy Liu buy it in large quantities?"
Fubao's voice was clear and clear as a child's, and she seemed particularly calm and strategizing at this moment. She walked up to Vice General Liu and asked him.
"Of course you need to buy it in large quantities. Saltpeter will be used sooner or later when making ammunition. If you buy it now while the price is low, you can save a lot of money!"
