Chapter 20 Wu's Military Industry (Part 2)
Military industry is of course a weapon-making thing. What modern people know is a new term for the ancients. How could Zhang Daniu understand it? He was very curious.
"Wu Military Industry?" Zhang Daniu was stunned, puzzled, and touched his forehead: "What the boss thinks must be a good name! My boss, I will do it now. Do it bigger and more grand!"
"Wait a minute." Wu Ji thought about it, and it would be better to explain some things to Zhang Daniu first.
"Boss, what are your instructions?" Zhang Daniu stopped quickly.
"Sit down first, I have something to tell you." Wu Ji moved over a chair and asked Zhang Daniu to sit on it, but he stood, looking at Zhang Daniu in a downward look, his eyes widening, and he was quite powerful.
"Hehe! You are so polite to me, you want me to sit down!" Zhang Daniu Bei felt honored and couldn't help but mutter happily.
However, he didn't say anything, and found something was wrong. Wu Ji's eyes were almost the same as Tongling, and his face was solemn, and Zhang Daniu's smile couldn't help but froze on his face.
"Boss, why are you looking at me like this? Did I do something wrong?" Zhang Daniu hesitated for a while, then asked Qiqiai Aiai.
"I did nothing wrong now. I am afraid that you will make mistakes in the future, so I have to remind you!" Wu Ji's tone was unprecedentedly stern: "I just told you that there are requirements for doing things here. Your skills are good and honest, but this is far from enough! You must keep your mouth locked when doing things here, and no words must be leaked. Can you do it?"
Zhang Daniu is an honest man and will not be fooled. However, because he is too honest and has a bad mouth, he is easily deceived. If the secret is leaked, the consequences will be too serious. You must know that what Wu Ji wants to do is bombs and hot weapons. Once leaked, the consequences are unimaginable.
It is not only harmful to Wu Ji's business, but if it is obtained by the Liao Kingdom, the consequences will be disastrous. This is on the border between the Song and Liao Kingdom, and the possibility of leaking to the Liao Kingdom is very high.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Ji was unable to warn Zhang Daniu seriously.
"Yes! Yes! Sure!" Zhang Daniu kept making promises without thinking.
"I will sign a contract with you. If you dare to reveal half a word, you will spend the rest of your life in prison. Your family will not have a good end, you have to think it through!" Wu Ji's voice suddenly rose, extremely harsh.
"Boss, what are you going to do? It's so scary!" Zhang Daniu asked blankly.
"It is related to the life and death of thousands of people, and even the national destiny of the Song Dynasty. Do you think it is important?" Wu Ji's words are definitely not exaggerating.
Once a bomb appears, it will inevitably change the pattern of war. If the Song Dynasty used it well, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty would be somewhat different.
"Gu!" Zhang Daniu swallowed, pondered for a while, and said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't tell you even if I die!"
"You have to remember what you said! Go and make a brand first! I will give it to you in a few days." Wu Ji smiled on his stern face.
"I must remember!" Zhang Daniu promised again, and gave Wu Ji a gift and went to make a brand.
Wu Ji pondered for a moment, left the blacksmith shop, and went back to his residence. This place was not far from Wu Ji's residence and arrived soon.
"Brother Ji, are you back? Sister-in-law has found work." Wu Jian was very happy when he saw Wu Ji coming back, and came up from afar, looking attached.
"So fast?" Wu Ji was a little surprised.
Yang Xiuxiu also quickly came up with a smile on her pretty face and said, "I've found some needlework."
Her needle money work is awesome, and it’s really no problem to find some needlework.
"It's just that the wages are too low. They are only slightly better than farming." Yang Xiuxiu was a little dissatisfied.
"The wages are too low, don't do it. I've found a job for you. From today on, you will have something to do." Wu Ji smiled, took the hot water handed over by Yang Xiuxiu, and took a few sips.
"Really?" Wu Jian jumped high, and was full of childishness in his joy. He looked at Wu Ji with his eyes, excited Mo Ming.
He came to Guixin County for this job: "Brother Ji, can you learn skills?" If he could learn skills, his life and his destiny would be very different. This is what he longed for the most.
"Yes!" Wu Ji nodded slightly.
"That's great! That's great!" Wu Jian shouted and asked, "Brother Ji, what skills did he learn? Ironwork, woodwork, lacquer art, ceramics?" He talked about several popular skills in the Song Dynasty in one breath.
"Yes! What kind of skill is it?" Yang Xiuxiu was also curious and asked softly.
Wu Ji rubbed his hands and looked like he was indifferent: "You didn't even say this! If you want to know, just follow me to see."
"Brother Ji, let's go!" Wu Jian couldn't help it anymore, and held Wu Ji's hand and kept urging him.
"Okay! Let's go!" Wu Ji also handled this matter earlier so that he could do something else.
At that moment, Yang Xiuxiu locked the door and the three of them went to the blacksmith shop together. On the way, Yang Xiuxiu asked about Wu Ji as the chief clerk, but Wu Ji just said it was going well. Wu Ji didn't care about the difficulties Niu and Yang at all. As long as the tools were made, it would take no effort to complete the account.
Yang Xiuxiu and Wu Jian were happy on behalf of Wu Ji and kept praising Wu Ji for being so good.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the blacksmith shop, and Wu Ji said, "It's here!"
At this time, the Wu family’s military industry brand was not ready yet, and the blacksmith shop was still hanging. When Wu Jian saw it, he was very happy and cheered: “I can learn to work as a blacksmith!”
He jumped in after three or two and saw Zhang Daniu making a brand. Zhang Daniu was wearing iron filings and a lot of oil. He knew he was an old blacksmith at a glance. Wu Jian was busy with the ceremony: "A disciple Wu Jian has met his master!"
He thought that even the master had found the blacksmith work Wu Ji had found for him, so how could he not be too busy with the ceremony?
"Advisor?" Zhang Daniu was stunned for him, his big eyes slipped around Wu Jian, like a tiny beast, and he couldn't touch his mind: "Who are you? Where did I get my disciple?"
"Wu Jian, stop making trouble!" Wu Ji then came in and drank Wu Jian.
"I don't really want to make a blacksmith, right? Then what can I do?" Yang Xiuxiu looked at the blacksmith shop, and except for the farm tools, there were kitchen knives and hatches. This was 100% blacksmith shop. Immigration is a job of hard work. She is a woman, and she really has nothing suitable for her.
"As you, of course you're swinging a sledgehammer!" Wu Ji looked at Yang Xiuxiu and said seriously.
"I'm swinging the hammer?" Yang Xiuxiu was stunned. The hammer was so heavy, how many times could she swing it? Wu Ji had a playful smile on his face. Then he realized that Wu Ji was joking with her. He couldn't help but feel a little sweet and a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking. His hands were tucked together, his pretty face was red, and he looked charming, quite cute.
"Xiuxiu, you and Wu Jian go to buy saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, as much as you can." Wu Ji saw Yang Xiuxiu's charming appearance in his eyes, and was quite comfortable, and arranged the task.
"Saltpetri, sulfur, charcoal? Brother Ji, what are you buying this?" Wu Jian looked confused.
"Wu Lang, you don't want to do it..." Yang Xiuxiu looked surprised and felt enlightened.
"Yeah!" Wu Ji nodded slightly.
"But there is no bear!" Yang Xiuxiu knew nothing about bombs. She just saw the bombs, but she didn't know that this was a weapon of war, so she was a little narrow-minded.
"This time, it's not for hunting bears, but for selling money! It will make a lot of money!" Wu Ji was full of confidence.
Wu Ji is Yang Xiuxiu's heaven. He said that it is whatever he said. Yang Xiuxiu was very happy and took the money and went to buy raw materials with Wu Jian.
"Master Zhang, are you good at ease?" Wu Ji came to Zhang Daniu and looked at the wooden sign he made. It was not bad.
"It's not that good!" Zhang Daniu replied in a hurry: "Boss, do you want to be a family? If you want to be a family member, I can barely get a job. If you want to be a better person, you have to ask for a good friend."
"It doesn't have to be that good. As long as you know how to work hard, you will be able to do it." Wu Ji nodded. It seemed that there was no need to find a carpenter anymore: "You can make the wooden sign first."
Wu Ji helped Zhang Daniu, and they made wooden signs together. It took less time to make a sign.
Looking at the four words "Wu Military Industry" on the sign, it was not very good, it was not bad, it was medium, enough, and Wu Ji was quite satisfied.
Zhang Daniu carried the sign to the door and hung it up under Wu Ji's guidance. The blacksmith shop no longer existed, and was replaced by the "Wu Military Industry".
Since then, the Wu military industry, which has been famous for a long time, has been established in this way!
A hundred years later, the famous writer Lu You wrote the book "Genea of the Great Song Weapons" based on the weapons manufactured by the Wu family's military industry, which was passed down to later generations!
