Chapter 23 Brother Jiang to Master Jiang (fourth update, please follow up)
After bowing his head and enduring the training for a long time, Yuan Gaohao did not let Dong Songchang go in the end.
He said with a cold face: "Speaking of which, don't you have a bet? Jiang Lin ranks first among the apprentices in the training area. Who wins this bet?"
Dong Songchang's mouth was bitter and he was scolding his mother in his heart, but he had to put on a smile on his face: "Of course Zhao Yankui wins."
"So many apprentices who have been trained for a long time are no match for a newcomer who has just arrived. Tan Xuyao is not here, so you two must shoulder your responsibilities. If the regular test is still the same after half a month, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
From beginning to end, Yu Maoming didn't say much, but the more silent he was, the greater the pressure he brought.
Watching the two master craftsmen leave, the blacksmith who won the money cheered and was about to distribute the money. Zhao Yankui cursed: "Why are you shouting! Isn't it embarrassing! Everyone's monthly salary will be deducted. From now on, one person will pay I have a disciple. If you still dissatisfy the master craftsman during the periodic test, I will skin you!"
The blacksmiths looked bitter. If they deducted one month's salary, wouldn't they also give back all the money they won?
Dong Songchang snorted coldly and said: "Master Zhao is so majestic. Could it be that he was scolded by the master craftsman and wanted to take it out on others?"
Zhao Yankui turned around suddenly, glared at Dong Songchang, and said unceremoniously: "Don't be so arrogant to me. I said, whoever holds you back again, I don't care who is a relative of the emperor or the country, I will never be polite! If you don't accept it, Just give it a try!”
Although Dong Songchang is also tall and looks burly and extraordinary, most of the meat on his body is grown by relying on medicine.
Unlike Zhao Yankui, who has been working in the iron industry since he was a child, every muscle has been trained hard.
If a fight really breaks out, Dong Songchang can be crushed to death with one hand.
Seeing that Zhao Yankui seemed really angry, Dong Songchang did not dare to confront him head-on. He said with a livid face: "I am a scholar and I don't have the same experience as a reckless man like you!"
After that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Zhao Yankui got angry at those apprentices again, and temporarily found out a dozen apprentices who were on the verge of failing, and pulled them out to beat them up before giving up.
The apprentices were so frightened that they dared not say a word. Only Jiang Lin came over to persuade him: "Master, don't be angry. People's talents are different and you can't force them. But God rewards hard work. Just set the rules in the future."
"Do you think everyone is like you, talented and hard-working? These bastards are all stupid and lazy!" Zhao Yankui cursed in a circle and finally returned to Jiang Lin.
"Master Craftsman said that from now on, you will be in charge alone and can no longer be an ordinary apprentice. The court is in urgent need of manpower and weapons, and everyone must use them!"
Jiang Lin said in surprise: "Master, you want me to make weapons too? But I have never learned how to temper or sharpen weapons. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Xuanhua Road rebelled, the border army was defeated, and we had to act like this due to internal and external troubles." Zhao Yankui said.
"Xuanhua Dao?" Jiang Lin was puzzled. He knew very little about the Daqian Dynasty.
Zhao Yankui explained a few words briefly, and then Jiang Lin understood.
There were three great gates in the Daqian Dynasty: Jueyuan Road, Xuanhua Road, and Xujian Road.
These three great sects are hugely powerful. Just one Xuanhua sect has as many as 30,000 to 40,000 sects.
Although they are small compared to the millions of troops in Da Qian, the people in the Taoist sect practice the law, go to heaven and escape from the earth, and move mountains and seas.
Even ordinary disciples can kill enemies with swords, which is really powerful.
In order to check and balance the Taoist sect, the army of the Daqian Dynasty also practiced law, but it was not very sophisticated and relied more on forming formations to kill the enemy.
Xuanhua Dao followed the border troops to fight this time, but rebelled on the battlefield and was defeated. His Majesty Long Yan was furious and vowed to completely annihilate Xuanhua Dao.
"Sigh, I don't know why this Xuanhua Dao rebelled for no reason. I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 people involved!"
There are between thirty and forty thousand disciples. If you really include relatives and friends, the number is more than several hundred thousand.
What's more, so many people are capable of killing, and letting one more one out may cause a catastrophe and endanger the people.
Although Jiang Lin didn't have much affection for this world, he was in the Daqian Dynasty after all, so he was naturally a little indignant towards this so-called Xuanhua Dao.
Whatever the reason, traitors are always offensive. "In short, there may be more weapons needed in the future. You should hone your tempering skills quickly. I will teach you how to temper and sharpen the weapons." Zhao Yankui said.
Jiang Lin nodded. He planned to learn all the skills before the regular test, so he didn't have a few days to wait.
Zhao Yankui looked at the apprentices again and suddenly said loudly: "From now on, Jiang Lin is the leader of all apprentices, and all matters shall be subject to him. If anyone refuses to obey, military law will be followed!"
Although the Blacksmith Battalion is not a real member of the military, it is still managed in a semi-military manner, and it is not an exaggeration to conduct it according to military law.
Jiang Lin was startled, not expecting that Zhao Yankui would suddenly bring up such a thing.
The apprentices were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Lin with eyes full of awe.
He is the head of the apprentices. These eight words are not simple.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Lin said that you are not qualified. You might not even be able to keep your job, let alone squatting in the canteen to eat.
The flattering look in the eyes of many people is getting stronger and stronger. This is not Brother Jiang. From now on, I have to call him Master Jiang!
"Master, I am not qualified enough, this..."
"Blacksmiths rely on craftsmanship, and the so-called masters come first. If you are stronger than them, you can control them. Who dares to disobey? Or do you think you are weaker than them?" Zhao Yankui asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, and finally could only nod in agreement.
After Zhao Yankui left, many apprentices immediately gathered around him, some calling him Brother Jiang, and some calling him Master Jiang.
Jiang Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally suppressed the chaotic voices and said loudly: "Although Master asked me to manage the apprentices, he did not teach me how to manage them. But everyone should have heard what I just said. Xuanhua Road rebelled and the frontier army was defeated. The demand for weapons will inevitably be greater. Sooner or later, the Southern Blacksmith Battalion will have to shoulder more responsibilities, so please work harder!”
Those who are willing to please Jiang Lin will of course respond immediately.
Even if you don't want to, you don't dare to contradict him face to face.
Surrounded by a group of people, Jiang Lin was already surrounded by stars.
Then, he led everyone to tidy up the blacksmith shop before heading towards the dining room.
Outside the blacksmith camp, Yu Maoming and Yuan Gaohao walked one behind the other.
"What do Master Craftsmen think of the boy named Jiang Lin?" Yuan Gaohao asked.
"What do you think?" Yu Maoming asked.
"My subordinates think that he can be of great use. If Zhao Yankui can be promoted to deputy craftsman, he can become a master in the future." Yuan Gaohao said.
"If his talent is really as Zhao Yankui said, it only took him a mere month to achieve it. The master is far from the end. We can only wait and see behind him." Yu Maoming sighed with emotion: "This son is a rare evildoer. Let me I think of my ancestor.”
Yuan Gaohao was shocked. It was too exaggerated to compare Jiang Lin with his ancestor.
Yu Maoming did not dwell on this topic, and asked: "Do you know why you specifically pointed out the Xuanhua Dao thing today?"
"Of course I hope that the Blacksmith Battalion can use its energy to reach a higher level." Yuan Gaohao said.
"Wrong!" Yu Maoming said with a heavy expression: "The affairs of the Daqian Dynasty are far from as simple as you and I thought. The defeat of the border army this time is definitely not a Xuanhua Dao. In my opinion, I am afraid that there will be more deaths in the future. If the blacksmith camp wants to stand firm in the troubled times, it must be united as a team, otherwise it will definitely die!”
Yuan Gaohao's face was full of shock, troubled times?
What is troubled times?
The division of the dynasty and the separatism of princes in various places can lead to troubled times. Why did the Daqian Dynasty end up like this?
But looking at the look of Mr. Craftsman, it doesn’t seem like he is talking nonsense. Has the Daqian Dynasty reached this point?
