Chapter 10 The Way of Producing Wealth

The people of Wujiazhuang are honest farmers, with the only exception, this person is Wu Liang. He is a famous prodigal son. He is idle all day long, lazy, and likes to bully people. People in the village bully him a lot.

"Wu Lang, stop chasing, okay? Wu Liang is a prodigal son, and his fists are powerful..." Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly grabbed Wu Ji, very worried.

Her worries were not redundant. With Wu Liang's prodigal temperament, even if Wu Ji catches up, he will beat Wu Ji. With Wu Ji's small body, he will be unable to defeat him.

"It's okay!" Wu Ji didn't care, and carried the firewood and chased after him.

"But, but, if Wu Liang is strong, what should I do?" Yang Xiuxiu had to point out.

"Haha! The fight is about momentum. Although I am weak and have little strength, I am strong, and Wu Liang is weak at this time, so I am just overwhelming." Wu Ji was very confident and analyzed.

A man has fought. What does it mean to fight? It’s not strength, but momentum! As long as you have enough momentum, even a person with a stronger fist than you will not be able to beat you. If your momentum is weak, no matter how strong you are, you may not be able to beat you.

"Why did Wu Lang become aggressive? He even said such reasonable words." Yang Xiuxiu was a little strange.

If you meet Wu Xiucai in the past, you must follow the way of a sage and not be as knowledgeable as a prodigal son like Wu Liang, and you will be left alone.

Although Wu Ji was strong, his strength was too weak, so he could not catch up with Wu Liang. Not long after, Wu Liang lost his trace.

"Wu Lang, let's go back!" Yang Xiuxiu was busy comforting: "It's so cold."

"If you can run away, you can't run away, you can't run away. Let's go to his house. Humph, if you don't give him some excellence, he will become more and more excessive. Xiuxiu, let me tell you that when you meet a prodigal son like Wu Liang, you can't give in. Once you give in, he will be more and more arrogant! You have to clean up at one time so that he won't do anything anymore!" Wu Ji understood that Wu Liang was here to peep for Yang Xiu Xiucai. If he didn't deal with him well, he might cause some trouble.

"It seems... it's reasonable!" Yang Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and still followed.

Wu Liang's home is not too far from here. Wu Ji arrived soon with the help of Yang Xiuxiu. These were three thatched huts, much larger and brighter than Wu Ji's thatched huts.

"Is it Liang'er?" An old voice came from the room.

It was Wu Liang's father, Wu Ji's uncle Wu Yuan. He was an honest farmer. He had a good family background, but because of Wu Liang's bad son, his family background was only getting worse day by day. Later, he had fewer contacts with his relatives.

"Uncle, I am Wu Ji. I came to find Wu Liang and I have something to talk to him." Wu Ji was unwilling to hurt this honest uncle, so he tried to speak softly.

"Ah!" Wu Yuan's voice was a little surprised: "It's Ji'er! Wu Liang has caused you trouble? He hasn't come back yet."

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and an old man with white hair and wrinkles appeared at the door, holding a torch in his hand. It was Wu Yuan.

"I've seen my uncle!" Wu Ji stepped forward to see him, and Wu Yuan couldn't help but speak. He went straight into the house and searched everywhere in the house, but he really couldn't find Wu Liang. It seemed that Wu Yuan didn't tell lies, and Wu Liang really didn't come back.

Wu Yuan was busy following in and was about to speak. Wu Ji said first: "I'll wait for him! I must tell him about this matter!" If Wu Liang dared to come back, Wu Ji would definitely beat him up.

Wu Yuan was busy raising fire for Wu Ji and bringing hot water, for fear of freezing Wu Ji. Seeing Wu Yuan hunching over, busy and coughing from time to time, Wu Ji couldn't help feeling soft and stood up and said, "Uncle, you rest. I'll just talk to Wu Liang about this one another day."

He was determined to deal with Wu Liang, but he couldn't bear to let Wu Yuan suffer, so he had to change his mind. Wu Yuan couldn't help but speak, and Wu Ji went out and went back with the help of Yang Xiuxiu.

"Ji'er, you'll have a rare time to go back and sit for a while. Uncle has a piece of meat to replenish your body." Wu Yuan's voice came from behind.

Wu Ji heard it, his nose was sore, and Wu Ji walked faster. It was not easy for people in Wujiazhuang. It was even more difficult for Wu Yuan to have a prodigal son like Wu Liang. He could save a piece of meat. I don’t know how many ways I thought of to hide it from Wu Liang.

When she returned home, Yang Xiuxiu guessed the reason why Wu Liang came. She was depressed and wanted to speak several times, but she interrupted Wu Ji.

Being beautiful is not a sin, but in this era, it is a disaster for beauty, attracting bees and butterflies, and not following the rules of wife. The mistakes are all on Yang Xiuxiu, not Wu Liang's fault. Wu Ji knew what she was going to say, so he had to interrupt.

Wu Ji was exhausted and had to rest. Yang Xiuxiu helped Wu Ji to bed, and then she snuggled up with Wu Ji and fell asleep carefully.

The next day, Wu Ji got up before dawn. The first thing he did when he got up was to check saltpeter, but it didn't work. Because it was cold, it turned into ice and had to use the sun to burn it.

Wu Ji wanted to improve his life so much. He was very attractive with a good body, but he couldn't hurry to do it and had to be patient. After breakfast, Yang Xiuxiu took the saltpeter out to dry it.

Today, I have to use gunpowder and weapons. Yang Xiuxiu needs help, but she didn't go to work, but was busy at home and never stopped for a moment.

Wu Ji was really unbelievable that children from poor families had so many things to do, and only one big family had so many jobs.

It was not until the sun was high that saltpeter was doing well. Wu Ji's spirit suddenly rose and was very excited. He guided Yang Xiuxiu to match gunpowder. Wu Ji was going to do it, but Yang Xiuxiu didn't want him to be tired and wanted to finish it. Wu Ji had to let her do it.

There are many ways to produce gunpowder, and the best effect is wet production. Wet production is first safe and second uniform, so the power of gunpowder is huge.

This is still too far away for Wu Ji at the moment, so he can only take the simplest method to mix saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal evenly.

Yang Xiuxiu did a very serious and careful job. Wu Ji repeatedly praised that Yang Xiuxiu has potential in this area. If she was in a modern society and went to a university, she would definitely be a good engineer.

There are many kinds of gunpowder formulas. Wu Ji wanted to hunt bears. The greater the power of gunpowder, the better. Wu Ji decided to use military gunpowder formulas, saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, and prepare them in the ratio of 333.

The entire preparation process is very simple, it is a process of mixing evenly and is completed quickly. The next thing is the key point. This time, Wu Ji took it upon himself. Although Yang Xiuxiu insisted repeatedly and wanted to work on Wu Ji, Wu Ji did not agree.

The reason why Wu Ji had to do it himself was because the process was too dangerous. If you were not careful, an explosion would occur, hurt people and die. Although Yang Xiuxiu was smart, she did not have experience in this area, and Wu Ji didn't want her to take risks.

Wu Ji first spread the oil paper, spread several layers in a row, and then poured the gunpowder on. He smashed the fine porcelain bowl. Under Wu Ji's guidance, Yang Xiuxiu smashed out fine porcelain pieces the size of his nails. Then, he carefully placed the fine porcelain pieces in the gunpowder.

Wrap oil paper and then wrap it, this is the most dangerous process. Oil paper is important. If it is not tight, the power of the explosion will be weakened. Moreover, during the wrapping process, try not to collide, squeeze or handle, otherwise it will explode.

The reason is that there are fine porcelain fragments inside. Once stressed, friction will occur, sparks will be produced, gunpowder will be ignited, and an explosion will occur.

Here, using fine porcelain pieces is better than using ordinary dish pieces, because it is easier to spark and explode. Of course, this will also increase the power of the explosion.

Wu Ji was careful again and again, and it took a long time to complete it. His forehead was covered with sweat. This process was really dangerous. If you were not careful, you would be killed. Wu Ji was so nervous.

Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly wiped away the cold sweat for Wu Ji and advised softly: "Wang Lang, take a break first. Have a drink of water." A bowl of hot water was handed to him.

Wu Ji took the bowl and drank it a few times. He couldn't help but say excitedly: "The most dangerous time has passed, and there is one last thing left. Drop the sheep oil on it and it's done."

"Why do you need to use sheep oil?" Yang Xiuxiu was puzzled.

"Bears love to eat sheep. Only with sheep oil will bear be deceived." Wu Ji said confidently: "The most important thing about this weapon is to make the bear fool."

The whole process is the most difficult thing to fool the bear. If a general bomb is used, Mars will appear, the bear will be scared away, will not bite it, and will not wait for the bombing. Therefore, this made Wu Ji think for several days and finally came up with this solution.
