The birth of Wu's military industry is an extremely important event, and it can be said to be of milestone significance. Wu's military industry changed the history of weapons. Since then, another type of weapon has emerged, namely firearms!

Since the emergence of gunpowder, skilled craftsmen have been studying firearms. By the Song Dynasty, there have been good progress, and artillery and rockets have appeared. However, the one who really lets the firearms conduct actual combat was Wu's military industry.

The Wu army built a large number of firearms, breaking the enemy's bows, and killing the enemy's swords... These sharp weapons. The Song army used these weapons to fight in all directions, show their power thousands of miles away from foreign lands, and write about the glory of China!

——"The Song Dynasty Weapons List·Lu You"

Without accumulating small steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating trickles, you cannot form a river!

Although Wu Ji wanted to open an arms factory in Xiongzhou, that was not what Wu Ji could do now. If you build a bomb first in Guixin County, you can make money and accumulate it. When the time is right, it will be much more convenient to open an arms factory in Xiongzhou.

Big things are accumulated from small things. If you want to open an arms factory prosperously, you have to start from small things and make necessary accumulation!

"That's it!" Wu Ji finally made up his mind to do it first.

Just as Wu Ji changed his mind, the shopkeeper Qiao shook his head, looked anxious, and turned back. He walked very slowly, trembling step by step, as if he could not put the blacksmith out of the shop, which was a great sin.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, please stay!" Wu Ji quickly chased after him.

"This person is... Please forgive me for being clumsy and not knowing the respect for him." Manager Qiao stopped and looked at Wu Ji, feeling very confused and confused.

"I'm going to Wu Ji." Wu Ji held his fists and bowed straight to the topic: "Does Manager Qiao want to put out the blacksmith shop?"

"Hey!" Manager Qiao sighed and said, "This blacksmith shop is my hard work for many years. Although it is not as good as a big blacksmith shop, it is still acceptable. The family's food and drink are supported by this. However, there are unexpected situations in the world, and people have good fortune and good fortune. My father had a disease and asked for money to cure the disease. I couldn't afford to raise money, so I had to grit my teeth and prepare to tray the shop."

Manager Qiao said, sighing, looking unwilling.

"Shopkeeper Qiao is really a filial son, I'm disrespectful!" Wu Ji's favor for this Shopkeeper Qiao increased greatly, and he gave another tribute and said, "I wonder how much money Mr. Qiao plans to sell?"

"This..." Manager Qiao hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Five taels of silver, this is the lowest price! Is Mr. Wu interested?"

"That's right! Can Manager Qiao allow me to see?" Wu Ji directly agreed.

Manager Qiao looked at Wu Ji for a while and said hesitantly: "The Master Wu is interested and should obey his orders. However, this is not a mistake to deal with my father's life. I don't know that the Master Wu..."

He saw that Wu Ji was too thin and worried that Wu Ji could not afford to pay. Wu Ji could not afford to pay, so his father had no hope of illness. As a filial son, he had to hurry.

"Shopkeeper Qiao doesn't have to worry. As long as I am satisfied, I will pay you the money on the spot." Wu Ji understood his intention and understood it very much.

"That's good! That's good! Master Wu, please come here! Qiao Dayuan." Suddenly, the shopkeeper Qiao's spirits were soaring and he was busy leading the way.

Wu Ji followed him forward and asked some things. From Qiao Dayuan's mouth, he knew that this blacksmith shop was quite famous in Guixin County and had a good reputation. There are two blacksmith shops now, one is Qiao Dayuan and the other is the blacksmith Zhang Daniu he hired. This Zhang Daniu is an old iron iron with good skills. He has hired it for more than ten years.

I soon came to the blacksmith shop. This blacksmith shop is not big and has a moderate location. It is a place for business.

A man in his forties, short and strong, with muscles all over the grave, like iron lumps, and his clothes were stained with iron filings and oil. He was looking at the blacksmith shop and he knew that he was another blacksmith Zhang Daniu.

When Zhang Daniu saw Manager Qiao coming, he hurriedly came up and said with a worried look on his face: "Boss, do you really want to sell it out? If you sell it out, what should I do? If I change to another boss, I don't need me!"

He was afraid of losing his job. In a small place like Guixin County, his work was very expensive. If he had no such work, his life would be very difficult and he had to worry.

"Hey! What can I do if I don't go out? My father is waiting for money to treat the disease! Brother Zhang, I really can't repay you if I owe you." Qiao Dayuan looked at Zhang Daniu with helplessness and apologized.

When he heard this, Zhang Daniu stopped talking and sighed helplessly. Even if he had changed to Qiao Dayuan's situation, he would do this.

"This is Mr. Wu, come to talk about the shop. Brother Zhang, please welcome him well." Qiao Dayuan said, winking at Zhang Daniu. He was creating an opportunity for Zhang Daniu to be attentive. If Zhang Daniu could continue working here, he would be less guilty.

Zhang Daniu understood and hurriedly came up to Wu Ji, sang a fat promise, and said, "I'm here Zhang Daniu, I've seen Master Wu! Master Wu, the master Wu, is here, and the tent is shining. Please give me more advice."

Wu Ji was a little laughing when he heard this. He didn’t go to your house as a guest, so where did he get the brilliance of the tent?

As if he realized something was wrong with his words, Zhang Daniu felt embarrassed and blushed, unable to speak.

Qiao Dayuan hurriedly took over the conversation and excused Zhang Daniu: "Official Wu, Brother Zhang is stupid, but he is good-hearted, real, diligent, down-to-earth, and willing to work hard. He is as famous as his name, just like an endless scalper."

"Yes, yes, I'm a scalper!" Zhang Daniu smiled gratefully at Qiao Dayuan. Saying a word for him at this time was like adding weight to it, and there were more opportunities to get a job.

"Your skills are good!" Wu Ji picked up a kitchen knife, which was bright and dazzling.

"That's it! That's it!" Zhang Daniu stood up straight, quite proud, and then curious: "How did you know that I have good skills? Have you never seen me wizard?"

"That's enough!" Wu Ji shook the kitchen knife in his hand and put it down.

There are either kitchen knives, hatchets, farm tools, and nothing else. Whether it is kitchen knives or hatchets, they are bright and sharp. You can tell at a glance that the iron-slayer is good.

"You have good skills, and it may not be impossible to keep you. But I still have some conditions. As long as you can abide by it, even if you can do it, can you cast it?" Wu Ji admired Zhang Daniu's skills very much.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Zhang Daniu nodded quickly and was stunned: "But, it's not as good as Manager Qiao! Manager Qiao casting, that's a good one! The thickness and size are almost the same, and it's hard to see the difference."

He is such an honest person. He is not afraid of losing his job even after saying this. Qiao Dayuan hurriedly touched him, and Zhang Daniu stopped talking unexpectedly.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, I took a look. The knives, farm tools, iron ingots, materials, and shops here are added together. I will give you five taels of silver, which is a bit..." Wu Ji said halfway, and then he hurriedly interrupted Qiao Dayuan.

"Official Wu, five taels of silver is the lowest price. If my father hadn't been seriously ill, I wouldn't have sold it anyway." Qiao Dayuan was very anxious and couldn't stop rubbing his hands.

"I mean, five taels of silver are too much for you. I think you are a real person, with a good heart and a filial son. I can't bear to lose you, so I will pay you seven taels of silver." Wu Ji had a lot of favorable feelings for Qiao Dayuan.

Qiao Dayuan's filial piety is very favored by Wu Ji. Thinking about Wu Ji, in another time and space, his parents died of misfortune, and it is impossible for him to do filial piety. Wu Ji can lose money to others, and he will never lose money to a filial son like Qiao Dayuan.

"Seven taels of silver?" Qiao Dayuan's eyes widened and Ba Zhang Da was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

There have always been only a few that are lowered, so how can you raise your own price?

"You, you..." Zhang Daniu was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"What I am a person who respects me, I respect others one foot! If a person weighs me, I will pay him one foot!" Wu Ji looked at Qiao Dayuan and said, "It can be seen that Manager Qiao is a real person. I will not suppress your price against your conscience. This way, Manager Qiao, I need a good casting master here. Your casting skills are good and you are just needed. After your father's illness is cured, you should come over and continue to be a shopkeeper and manage the shop."

This is a way out!

After the shop went out, the family's livelihood became difficult. Qiao Dayuan was having a headache about this. Unexpectedly, Wu Ji actually gave him a way out. He didn't react for a while and couldn't speak.

"Really?" After a long time, Qiao Dayuan woke up.

"That's right! If you agree, I will pay you money now. You can cure your father's illness first!" Wu Ji thought about Qiao Dayuan everywhere, and filial piety is the first priority!

"Thank you Master Wu! Thank you Master Wu!" Qiao Dayuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Ji with great force. He hit his forehead on the ground, making a bang sound.

Wu Ji not only gave him a fair price, solved his urgent needs, but also left him a way out. His gratitude to Wu Ji is indescribable. Only by kowtowing hard can he express his gratitude.

"Please get up!" Wu Ji helped Qiao Dayuan up, took out the silver, and paid it to Qiao Dayuan.

Qiao Dayuan hurriedly signed a contract for sale with Wu Ji, collected the money, and after thanking him for a lot of gratitude, he went there.

"Master Wu, you are such a good person! A good person!" Zhang Daniu looked at everything that happened and was a little unbelievable, praising Wu Ji from the bottom of his heart. It is really hard to meet a good person like Wu Ji.

"Master Zhang, help me get a sign. This shop needs to be changed." Wu Ji ordered while looking at the shop.

"Change your name?" Zhang Daniu was stunned and before he could react, he was stunned for a moment, and finally understood that he had hired Wu Ji and was overjoyed: "Xie Dong Family! Xie Dong Family! The boss, what name should he change to?"

"Well! Just call Wu's military engineer!" Wu Ji thought for a while and immediately had a result.
