Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 39

"We have only seen the cannon of Xijing Kingdom once, but we have never witnessed the power of the cannon and do not know how powerful it is. We just heard that it can destroy a city in an instant." Chu Haojue thought for a while and said.

Once, when they were fighting with the Kingdom of Xijing, the Kingdom of Xijing did bring cannons, but they never used them.

At that time, when the cannons were seen, not only their Chuyuan Kingdom, but also the Nanyue Kingdom, in order not to hurt innocent civilians, they and the Nanyue Kingdom chose to retreat and did not actually fight with the cannons.

"That means you haven't seen the power of that cannon, and you've only heard about it, right?" Qiao Anan wondered in her heart, could it be that the cannon was completely useless?

"Well! It's just a legend that this cannon from Xijing Kingdom can blow up a city." Chu Haojue said.

"Yeah, it does sound very powerful." Qiao Anan was thinking about the cannon of Xijing Kingdom. How powerful is it? Is it a paper tiger?

"Well, according to legend, this cannon is very powerful. But we have only heard about it." Chu Haojue thought about it and said it truthfully. After all, how powerful is the cannon? They have never seen it.

"Then do you know what the cannon looks like? Can you draw it?" Qiao Anan asked expectantly.

Qiao Anan was actually very curious, were the cannons at that time the same as those seen in museums today?

"Of course." Chu Haojue thought about what the cannon looked like. He had seen it before, so drawing it would not be a problem.

In fact, their Chu Yuan Kingdom also had people develop cannons, and there are still models of cannons.

However, they were unable to make the cannon exert its full power.

"Actually, if I say I think that cannon might not be as powerful as you think, would you think I'm talking nonsense?" Qiao Anan asked, holding her chin with both hands while looking at Chu Haojue.

Chu Haojue fell into deep thought because of Qiao Anan's words. For some reason, he didn't think what he said was excessive.

After all, they had never seen the power of the cannon, and everything was just a legend. Maybe that thing was just a bluff.

If those news were just smokescreens released by Xijing Kingdom, then it is not impossible.

"I know there's something that's more powerful than a cannon." Qiao Anan blinked, thinking about how to make gunpowder.

"Really?" Chu Haojue couldn't imagine anything more powerful than that cannon.

"It should be true, right?" Qiao Anan thought. She had seen the method of making gunpowder on the computer before.

One saltpeter, two sulfur, and three charcoal.

These things should not be difficult to find in this day and age.

"What do you need me to do?" Chu Haojue looked at Qiao Anan and asked. He didn't ask if she needed his help, but what she needed him to do.

He felt that no matter whether Qiao Anan wanted his help or not, he would help.

What's more, he was looking forward to what that amazing thing would be.

"I need you, can you help me move things?" Qiao Anan was thinking about the huge courtyard of the Second Prince's Mansion.

There is no need to look for other places to test the power of gunpowder.

"What are you moving?" Chu Haojue still didn't know.

Qiao Anan planned to blow up his prince's mansion.

"I need a lot of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. These are all I need," said Qiao Anan.

"I'll ask someone to buy it." Chu Haojue wanted to turn around and ask the person next to him to buy the things.

"No need. Dongsheng, you can have someone deliver some of the saltpeter and charcoal in our shop to the Second Prince's residence. Send as many as you can. Then go to the pharmacy in Kyoto and buy some sulfur. Buy as much as you can." Qiao Anan instructed Dongsheng who was standing aside.

"Yes, Miss." Although Dongsheng didn't know what the young lady wanted to do, they didn't need to ask why. They just needed to follow the young lady's instructions.

"Do you need a lot?" Chu Haojue thought, if there are a lot of things, should he help prepare them?

After all, that would cost a lot of money.

But then, he thought that the money was also given to him by Qiao Anan, so he swallowed his words.

It would be better if I could just put in some effort.

"Well, we don't need much now." Qiao Anan thought to herself that if she needed it in the future, it might not be just a little bit?

"Then what can I do?" Chu Haojue felt that if he did nothing, he would feel guilty, and always hoped that he could do something to help.

"Well, you don't need to do anything now. We will be going to your prince's mansion soon anyway. If anything happens later, just don't blame me." Qiao Anan thought that if she blew up the second prince's mansion, she didn't know whether the emperor would punish her.

"Okay, if you need me to do anything, you must tell me." Chu Haojue nodded and said.

By the time Chu Haojue and Qiao Anan arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, Dongsheng had already led people to deliver all the things to the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, Miss Qiao, you are back." Eunuch Fu smiled so much when he saw Qiao Anan coming. This was his future mistress.

"Hello, Eunuch Fu!" Qiao Anan greeted him with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction as she watched Dongsheng bring the things.

"Hello, Miss Qiao, hello, Miss Qiao." Eunuch Fu looked at the Second Prince and Qiao An'an standing together, thinking that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Qiao Anan stood in the empty courtyard and nodded with satisfaction.

This place is so big that the power of the gunpowder should not threaten the houses here.

"If you feel like something is missing, I'll have someone plant some flowers and plants here later." Chu Haojue looked at Qiao Anan looking at the empty yard. He felt a little guilty, and was afraid that Qiao Anan would not like such an empty yard, so he quickly stepped forward and said.

"No, no." Qiao Anan thought to herself that if she planted flowers and plants here, she would never be willing to destroy them.

Chu Haojue really thought that Qiao Anan was worried about losing face, so she said polite words and made a secret decision in her heart.

I must replant flowers and plants in this yard when I get back.

Although he may not be able to make this place as grand as the Qiao family's.

But it certainly can't be as empty as it is now.

"Eunuch Fu, please have someone set up a big pot for me here. And prepare some firewood for me." An An said to Eunuch Fu beside him with a smile.

"Okay, okay. I'll go right away." Eunuch Fu didn't know why Miss Qiao wanted to set up a pot here, but as long as Miss Qiao was happy, he would be happy even if there were ten pots.

"Dongsheng just asked you to prepare the wooden basin. Is it ready?" Qiao Anan looked around the yard and didn't see the wooden basin, so she asked again.
