The news of Wu Ji's return to the letter spread like the wind, and Huangfu Song and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly came to meet each other, and they were very happy to see that Wu Ji had brought back so many blacksmiths.

As long as these blacksmiths are available, the Wu military industry will be free to manufacture weapons in large quantities, and the Converts will soon be equipped. With the equipment of the Wu military industry, the combat strength of the Guixin Army will reach a higher level.

Yang Xiuxiu and the others were busy arranging the blacksmith's accommodation and workmanship. These blacksmiths, when they visited the Wu military industry, were greatly surprised, the method of making this slashing knife was completely different from the one they were familiar with, even though they were very good blacksmiths, they were not surprised.

What shocked them the most was the thunderbolt, they saw the power of the thunderbolt, and everyone was curious, how did this work? However, to know how to make thunderbolts, one needs to be absolutely loyal, and the other is to be highly skilled, otherwise you don't want to touch it.

Under the arrangement of Yang Xiuxiu's Qiao Dayuan, these blacksmiths were soon put into production, and the output of Wu's military industry increased sharply, and a large number of captive knives, crossbows, thunderbolts, and armor were manufactured.

The prospect is booming, but there are still many problems, and Yang Xiuxiu quickly came to him: "Wu Lang, this man is not enough, where can I find manpower?" ”

"Not enough people?" Wu Ji was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't I hire so many blacksmiths?" ”

"Wu Lang, the blacksmith can handle it, but he can't let the blacksmith do chores. Do you think, the skills of blacksmiths are rare, and if they don't strike iron, but do chores and lay hands, wouldn't it be a waste? "Yang Xiuxiu is very smart and the questions she asks are very pertinent.

Blacksmiths are the best "skilled workers" in Wu's military industry, all of them are rare and should come in handy. If they are allowed to do chores and do it, it will be a waste.

"If you want the blacksmith to perform well, you have to give them some handiwork and chores, so that they can do more work." Yang Xiuxiu once again showed her shrewd side.

If there is a hand to help the blacksmith take care of other things, the blacksmith only cares about striking iron, and his efficiency will be much improved. Listening to her words, Wu Ji was surprised, Yang Xiuxiu's mind is very good, but unfortunately, she has not read a book. If you study, you will definitely become a talented woman.

"Xiuxiu, you came up with a good idea, the question is, where to find someone? Two hundred are needed for one blacksmith with two handymen, and where can they be found at one moment? Wu Ji was also a little embarrassed.

In the past, his manpower was mainly recruited from Wujiazhuang, but now he needs nearly two hundred people, which has long exceeded the total population of Wujiazhuang, which is really a trouble.

"Commander Wu, why are you anxious?" At this moment, Huangfu Song walked in and looked at Wu Ji.

"It's not a matter of the Wu family's military industry, now, there are blacksmiths, but there is a lack of miscellaneous workers, and nearly two hundred people are needed, where can I find so many people at a time?" Wu Ji was really anxious.

Zhou Wei wanted 7,000 captive knives, as well as hand crossbows and thunderbolts, and the time was very tight. No one knows when the Liao Congress will call.

"What did I think it was?" Huangfu Song didn't care at all, sat down with his ass, and set up a second leg: "Commander Wu, if you have a treat, I will give you a trick to ensure that you have endless manpower." ”

"You have helped me a lot, and I will treat me when I have a treat." Wu Ji didn't say anything.

Huangfu Song waved his hand: "I don't want to eat and drink you, but you want to make me a good knife." Hehe, this knife is better than the captive knife, in that case, I really have an idea for you. ”

"Better than a captive knife?" Wu Ji was a little angry: "Do you think the chopping knife is garbage?" ”

"Haha! Commander Wu, you can't do it. "Huangfu Song didn't care at all.

There are still many improvements to the chopping knife, the biggest improvement is refining steel, in that case, the quality of the chopping knife will be improved a lot, Wu Ji nodded slightly and said: "Okay!" I answered! ”

"Actually, it's just nothing, you do it, I'll be cheeky to get a few handfuls, and you're embarrassed not to give it to me?" Huangfu Song smiled, a little cunning, and reminded: "Commander Wu, you are a fan of the authorities, you control thousands of people in your hands, how can you not use it?" ”

"Thousands of people?" Wu Ji and Yang Xiuxiu were surprised.

"You mean the family?" Wu Ji and Yang Xiuxiu thought of it at the same time.

"That's right, it's the family." Huangfu Song nodded slightly and said, "Although the Great Song Dynasty has not established a strong martial arts, the military salary is still very generous. If you think about it, a long line of military salaries can feed a family, and these family members now have nothing to do to eat, and they are running around all day and have nothing to do. If you give them a job, I bet they'll go crazy with joy. You must know that in their eyes, your Commander Wu is even more holy than Sage Kong. ”

Speaking of this, Huangfu Song's voice was slightly higher, and he said a little ridiculously: "Although Sage Kong is good, it is just grinding his mouth, and his family will be hungry." And you, Commander Wu, are not greedy for gold and silver, pay the military salary in full, make up for the arrears, and then repair the barracks, in their eyes, you are really more holy than the Confucian saint. Not to mention, the wages of your Wu military industry are very high, and if you don't oppress them, they will definitely sharpen their heads and drill into the Wu military industry. ”

He said very reasonably, with Wu Ji's current reputation among his family members, he is really more holy than Sage Kong. No matter how good the sage of Confucius is, there is no food to eat, like Li Mingchu who didn't even dare to give birth to a child, who is a saint or not a saint? Only Wu Ji can make his family members have a full meal, in their hearts, Wu Ji is extremely sage, even Song Shenzong is far inferior to Wu Ji.

"The most important point is that you are the commander, and the long line is at your disposal, and no one dares to leak secrets." Huangfu Song finally said.

Wu's military industry has a lot of secrets, and keeping secrets is the first priority, and for this, Wu Ji has spent a lot of effort. If these family members go to work, they really don't dare to leak secrets, who told Wu Ji to grasp the future of their family? Who would dare to touch his tiger whiskers?

"Great idea! Good idea! Wu Ji was overjoyed.

"Okay! Okay! Yang Xiuxiu was also happy.

Wu Ji came to the barracks, and as soon as he told him about it, the family members rushed over like crazy, looking at him with blank eyes, hoping that Wu Ji would give them a job.

The reputation of the Wu military industry is very great in the conversion of the faith, and the extermination of the Liufeng thieves is because of Wu Ji and the Wu military industry, otherwise, no one can say what the conversion has become now.

Wu's military industry is famous, working in Wu's military industry, one will not oppress you, and the other is that the salary is high, everyone wants to go.

Yang Xiuxiu and Qiao Dayuan were busy choosing their families, while Wu Ji was busy dealing with going through the back door. As soon as they got the news, the soldiers took advantage of the rest of the training to surround Wu Ji, say some good things, and pat their chests to ensure that their families can catch up with the old scalpers no matter how hard-working they are.

Wu Ji was so dry that he finally stabilized them.

After the selection, there are a few joys and a few worries. Those who are selected are overjoyed, and those who are not selected are very sorry. Wu Ji had no choice but to comfort them and promise that in the future, Wu's military industry would need manpower and would give priority to them.

With these family members, Wu Ji has a stable source of labor, and he doesn't have to worry about running out of labor.

With the addition of these family members, the output of Wu's military industry has increased significantly. Soon, the Converts were all armed with weapons, including swords, swords, bows and arrows, and armor. Their equipment is much better than that of the normal Song army.

The Song army had a single way of fighting and a single equipment, with archers only having bows and arrows, swordsmen only knives, and gunners only guns. And the Returning Army, regardless of the type of troops, is armed with a pair of bows and arrows, a crossbow, and a captive knife, and this alone makes the other Song troops lose their color. Not to mention, they all have armor. Armor varies depending on the class. Archers and swordsmen should be lightly armoured, while gunners should be heavily armoured.

With these equipment, the combat power of the Converts Army has increased a lot.

xxxxxxx Jiying Palace, Song Shenzong is reviewing the chapters.

At this moment, Shao Jiu came in, and Song Shenzong didn't raise his head, and asked, "Shao Jiu, what's the matter?" ”

"The official's family, Zhou Wei of the Xiongzhou Army sent a concert, and asked the emperor to take a look." Shao Jiu presented a piece of music, one piece of clothing, and a fishy smell.

"What is this? How does it smell fishy? Song Shenzong's nose twitched, he was very surprised, he unfolded his shirt and looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and looked surprised: "Xiao Qingyi's crime? ”

"Xiao Qingyi's crime?" Shao Jiu's face was surprised: "Xiao Qingyi, the envoy of the Liao State, is very arrogant, when he came to Bianjing, his eyes were on the top of his head, can he confess?" ”

"Haha!" Song Shenzong stood up suddenly, took his shirt in his hand, and laughed: "This is Xiao Qingyi's crime written in blood, what is sacred, can this arrogant and rude guy be serious?" ”

"Could it be Zhou Wei?" Shao Jiu was a little uncertain and guessed.

"It won't be him!" Song Shenzong immediately rejected Shao Jiu's speculation: "Zhou Wei is a good hand at fighting, if you want to talk about these twists and turns, he can't do it." There must be another master, it must be a master! ”

Song Shenzong unfolded the chapter and browsed it, the more he browsed, the more happy he became, his mouth cracked, and finally he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! Nagong Pavilion, ruined, ruined! ”

"What? The Nagong Pavilion was destroyed? Shao Jiu was taken aback, this is a fantasy.

Destroying the Nagong Pavilion was the common wish of the Song people, but no one succeeded. Now, the Nagong Pavilion has been destroyed, of course, it makes people happy, Shao Jiu smiled and asked: "Dare to ask the official family, which master destroyed the Nagong Pavilion?" ”

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's Wu Ji and Wu Xiucai, oh, Wu Qishi! ”

Song Shenzong's mood was extremely good, he kept pacing, and kept rubbing his hands: "Nagong Pavilion, that is a thorn in my heart, and now, I have finally pulled it out!" This Wu Ji, what pleased me the most was not that he destroyed the Nagong Pavilion, but that he knew how to measure and how to grasp the handle of Liao Dog. Now, with the handle in my hands, Yelu Hongji, I want to see what else you have to say. I sent an envoy to ask for the guilt. ”

Song Shenzong stopped abruptly and beckoned to Shao Jiu: "Shao Jiu, bring the wine, I want to drink it!" After all these years, I have rarely had such a happy time today! ”
