"Now I'll explain."

The ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal is 1:2:7.

No one knew what 1 to 2 to 7 meant.

Everyone present scratched their heads.

"My benefactor, please explain in more detail. I don't think they'll understand."

"And what is charcoal?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian felt somewhat frantic.

"Charcoal is the black stuff left after wood has been burned."

After Jiang Tian explained it this way, everyone suddenly understood.

"For example, to prepare ten catties of gunpowder, you need two catties of saltpeter and sulfur from the I Ching, plus seven catties of gunpowder."

Crush and mix these three ingredients.

When mixing these three ingredients, not a single spark should be produced.

You can't use a shovel to dig it up.

Do not use iron tools to smash it.

It will explode if a spark appears.

After Jiang Tian said that, everyone basically understood.

One pound of saltpeter is mixed with two pounds of sulfur and seven pounds of charcoal.

That would be enough to produce ten pounds of gunpowder.

"Young Master, I'd like to do it now."

"Young Master, ask our benefactor if we can make gunpowder now."

Jiang Tian: "Hurry up and make it. I estimate that each of you can make at least ten catties of gunpowder tomorrow."

Nalan Jingyu: "What about the bullets?"

"Bullets are just iron balls, and I think you can make those."

Everyone nodded.

Each of the dozens of craftsmen was given 50 jin of sulfur and 20 jin of saltpeter.

These are the finest sulfur and saltpeter.

Gunpowder made from sulfur and saltpeter from the Jiangtian system is much more powerful.

...

It was late at night.

But the city was bustling with activity.

After returning home, the craftsmen immediately began burning wood.

Charcoal burning is everywhere in the city.

Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed upwards.

The entire Snow Wolf City became a chaotic mess.

Jiang Tian's residence.

"Big Brother, it's time to wash up and go to bed."

"Go get me some hot water to soak my feet." The cold wind howled outside the window.

The people of the Nalan tribe are used to a life of hardship.

They also did not prepare any bedding for Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tiantian opened the system store.

A dazzling array of goods are everywhere.

You can exchange points for a down comforter.

Otherwise, winter here would be unbearable.

The Nalan tribe lives outdoors in winter, and they usually light a fire inside their tents.

Jiang Tian would never do anything like lighting a fire in the room.

One careless mistake and you could get carbon monoxide poisoning and it would all be over.

Jiang Tian redeemed four or five down comforters in succession.

This down comforter is so lightweight that you can barely feel it when you're covered up.

However, this down comforter is quite warm.

The maid outside had already boiled the water.

The girls brought in the hot water.

Jiang Tian placed the quilts on the bed.

"Hanxiang, make this bed properly. Two layers are used as a bed and two layers are used as a cover."

Princess Hanxiang was overjoyed when she saw this back.

She touched it with her hand; its back was incredibly soft.

Two maids helped Jiang Tian wash up.

As soon as Jiang Tian finished washing up, the two maids left.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Who is it?

“It’s me.” Nalan Mingzhu, the leader of the Nalan tribe, spoke from outside.

"Old leader, are you still awake so late?" Jiang Tian stood up and walked to the door.

Nalan Mingzhu pushed open the door and entered, followed by a little girl.

Jiang Tian noticed that the girl looked similar to Nalan Hanyue.

It's obvious that this little girl is younger than Nalan Mingyue.

This little girl has a very pure and innocent appearance, with the shyness and charm of a girl her age.

She glanced at Jiang Tian with her big, bright eyes, then quickly lowered her head.

Two rosy clouds rose on the little girl's cheeks.

This is definitely a tall and slender little girl.

I couldn't help but take another look at this little girl today. Her face was a bit chubby. That's baby fat.

She looks exceptionally pure and cute.

"Hurry up and sit down." Jiang Tian pulled over two chairs and placed them next to Nalan Mingzhu and the little girl.

Nalan Mingzhu waved his hand: "I won't sit down, my benefactor. I've come here for one thing."

"Speak."

“This…” Nalan Mingzhu pulled the little girl next to her over, “This is my youngest daughter, Nalan Yueru.”

"I've thought about it for a long time. I'll have Nalan Yueru become your concubine. She'll warm your bed tonight."

Holy crap, this is absolutely mind-blowing!

“No…” Jiang Tian quickly shook his head.

Nalan Yueru was initially full of anticipation, but when the young girl heard Jiang Tian's immediate refusal...

The little girl froze, her eyes reddening.

Immediately afterwards, tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"My benefactor, why is this?"

"Yueru is a pretty and capable child."

"I will definitely be able to give you several big, healthy sons in the future."

"And this child is 12 this year. As long as you take her in, you'll be able to hold a big, healthy baby boy next year."

“She’s only 12.” Jiang Tian glanced at Nalan Yue Ru. “What does a 12-year-old girl know?”

“Other girls may not understand, but my daughter understands everything and can do everything.”

"My benefactor, please accept me as your servant." Nalan Yueru knelt down in front of Jiang Tian with a thud. "Ever since you came to the city, I have wanted to serve you forever."
