Chapter 32 The opportunity is here

Wu Ji's eyes were far-reaching and extremely far-reaching. He knew that although the thunderbolt was a good thing, it was not omnipotent. If you wanted to sell weapons to the army, you could not rely solely on the thunderbolt, a weapon, but you had to produce multiple categories and varieties.

Only in this way can Wu's military industry become a real arms company.

In this era, it is impossible to get rid of swords, guns, crossbows and only rely on thunderbolts. Therefore, as soon as the production of thunderbolts was on the right track, Wu Ji aimed at a new weapon, that is, crossbows, swords and guns.

Wu Ji studied the Song Dynasty's crossbows and guns and concluded that he could do better. Although the crossbows and guns did not make money like Pili Bullets, they had large sales. If they were really done well, their income was very considerable and they would not be less than Pili Bullets.

However, there is a problem with this, that is, the production of swords, guns, bows and crossbows is controlled by the government. If Wu Ji wants to produce now, it will violate the laws of the Song Dynasty. In this era, the calves cannot twist the thighs. Even if Wu Ji is determined not to abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, it will not work and must be followed.

As for the thunderbolt, it was a new thing. The Song Dynasty did not know that there was such a powerful weapon and it was not among the prohibited production. Therefore, Wu Ji could produce it with confidence and boldness.

Even if the Song Dynasty intervened, it would not be possible to treat Wu Ji. Maybe he would reward Wu Ji very much. That was innovation!

It is different for swords, guns, bows and crossbows. We must abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty. Although Wu Ji wanted to produce, he could not produce it.

To solve this problem, Wu Ji needed to place the Wu military industry under the name of the army and produce it in the name of the army. This is the benefit of the unique "Huiyi" of the Song Dynasty army.

Wu Ji now doesn't know the army, and it's still difficult to get under the name of the army. However, this is not a problem for Wu Ji. Wu Ji intends to get close to the Song army officer stationed in Guixin County, test it, and then make a decision.

If you can be in the name of the army, you will have to give some benefits. No one will do anything without benefits. As long as you can bear it, Wu Ji is still willing to do it.

Wu Ji had already been determined to do this, but the strong strength of Qiyun Club was demonstrated. All the thunder bombs produced by Wu's military industry were swallowed up by Qiyun Club, which was far from enough. Wu Ji could not sell the thunder bombs to the army for the time being.

Although there was no extra thunder bullets to sell, Wu Ji was still preparing and began to make a small amount of hand crossbows.

The county government office, the chief clerk, Wu Ji was settled accounts with Huangfu Song, Niu Qiqing and Yang Yuan could only start their own business, serving tea and water, and sorting out the account books. Huangfu Song held the account books and kept reporting the numbers.

However, Wu Ji held the abacus and kept tying the abacus beads. A crisp sound of slap sounded, much more dense than before. With this period of use, Wu Ji became more and more skilled in the calculation. Now, Wu Ji is already a master of abacus. When it comes to calculations, he must be no worse than the modern old accountant.

"Mr. Wu, are you settled the score?" At this moment, Zheng Tai's voice sounded, and Zheng Tai was wearing an official robe and walked in quickly, looked around the room, and walked directly towards Wu Ji.

"I've seen the master!" Wu Ji stood up and saluted Zheng Tai.

Huangfu Song and Niu Yang were also busy with the greeting. Zheng Tai waved his hand and said, "Forgive it! Forgive it!"

Zheng stretched out his hand, and Huangfu Song handed the account book to Zheng Tai skillfully, and pointed it in the account book with his hand: "It's up to this!" Then he walked away.

Whenever Zheng Tai comes, he will take on the role of reporting numbers. He and Wu Ji have cooperated many times, and they will report numbers when they take them.

Zheng Tai was very skilled. These numbers were produced in a series of streams, but Wu Ji calculated them faster. It didn't take long to complete the account.

Huangfu Song hurriedly handed over a account book. Zheng Tai took it in his hand, but he did not read it. Instead, he looked at Huangfu Song and Niu Yang and said, "Mr. Wu and I have something to discuss, so you can avoid it."

Huangfu Song and the others responded quickly and quickly walked out of the house. Zheng Tai came to the chief clerk's room, and most of them were from Wu Ji. He discussed the matter with Wu Ji, and it was not surprising that the three of them were waiting in the yard after they left the house.

"Sir, do you have to learn the abacus again?" Zheng Taiyi came to the chief clerk's room when he had time, mainly for Wu Ji's abacus. If he asked for advice, Wu Ji had to say it.

Wu Ji did not pay much attention to abacus and did not have the idea of ​​self-destruction. As long as Zheng Tai asked, he would always explain in detail. Therefore, after such a long time, Zheng Tai's progress in abacus was very, very fast.

"Abacus? No, I am not asking you for advice on this matter today." Zheng Tai shook his head slightly and said, "The way of abacus is, you have taught me so many times, and I should be content. If you go to the Imperial College professor, it will definitely cause a sensation, and then the chief clerk of the Song Dynasty will save a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, you have never wanted to go! Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force me, and I cannot force you."

Zheng Tai repeatedly proposed to recommend Wu Ji to go to the Imperial College to teach abacus methods. Wu Ji used various excuses to delay. After a long time, with Zheng Tai's intelligence, how could he not understand that Wu Jizhi was not here?

"Today, I want to discuss a major event with you. I don't have much confidence in this matter, so I discuss it with you." Zheng Tai said straightforwardly.

"This..." Wu Ji was very surprised.

Wu Ji was just a small chief clerk. Managing money and grain was Wu Ji's responsibility, and the major affairs in the county had nothing to do with him.

"Liufeng Thieves, do you know?" Zheng Tai stared at Wu Ji and asked.

"River Thieves?"

Wu Ji immediately remembered that when he returned from the county that day, the entire Wujiazhuang was in chaos because of Wu Liang's lies. He couldn't help but nod and said, "I know a little. It was a group of brutal bandits who killed people and set fire, plundered, did everything they could, and did everything they could. The people hated him to the core. However, no officers and soldiers could wipe out, which made the disaster worse."

Zheng Tai listened to Wu Ji's words and nodded slightly, "Yes! This group of bandits are too rampant, and they have committed countless crimes, and they have more than one death. I decided to send troops to wipe out them! However, this group of bandits is too cunning, and the officers and soldiers are not good at fighting. I have no idea whether they can succeed. I know that although you have not participated in major events in the county, you have a clear decision, so I discussed with you. Do you think that if I send troops, can I succeed?"

His words revealed deep worries. The thief of Liufeng was not an ordinary robber. He was originally an officer and soldier. Later, he counterattacked and went up the mountain to form a thief and did a lot of murders and arsons. But this group of robbers was very cunning. Over the years, the government has repeatedly suppressed bandits, but it has not been successful.

This encouraged his arrogance and became more unscrupulous. He did more and more murders and robberies. The people hated him to the core, and he dared not fall asleep as soon as he mentioned it, but he was helpless!

If it can be wiped out, it is indeed a great thing. The problem is that if it fails, it will be retaliated and the converted people will be in great trouble.

Wu Ji had seen the combat effectiveness of the Song army in Guixin County with his own eyes. Not only did the twenty officers and soldiers not only failed to hunt a bear, but they injured a few of them. That's not all, Luo Yuansheng was even more ill-hearted and wanted to kill the people of Wujiazhuang to be rewarded for military merit. If Wu Ji had not retreated, Wujiazhuang would have suffered a disaster.

With such an army, it would be like a dream to suppress bandits. It would be impossible to make Zheng Tai not worry. However, the Song Dynasty implemented the division of civil and military affairs. Even if Zheng Tai was determined to rectify military discipline, he had no authority and could only stare at him.

"This matter is a bit big, let me think about it." Wu Ji did not rush to answer, but began to think.
