Chapter 81 The blacksmith who refuses to accept even death


Chapter 81 The blacksmith who refuses to accept even death

The noisy scene was immediately contained.

Yu Maoming let go of his hands and feet, and the blacksmith got up from the ground, rubbed his face, but was still unconvinced and said: "Blacksmith Nan is engaged in malpractice for personal gain. The master craftsman must make the decision for those apprentices, otherwise I will not accept it even if he is beaten to death." ! ”

"What's the decision? What's the decision?" Yu Maoming asked.

"Of course it's the boy named Jiang Lin. He is obviously a formal blacksmith, but he pretends to be an apprentice."

"Yes! The people in the South Blacksmith Camp are so shameless. They dare to act like this just for that little reward. They simply don't take the Master Craftsman and the Secretary Wu seriously!"

"Fuck your mother!" Zhao Yankui stared: "Who is pretending? Jiang Lin is an apprentice!"

"You're just a fart. You burn the fire so fast, and you can also shoot high-quality weapons. You're better than me. You're a fart's apprentice!"

"Enough!" Yu Maoming shouted loudly.

Then he glanced around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Lin joined the Southern Blacksmith Camp two months ago. It is documented. If you have any doubts, you can go to the Casting Department to check. As for his skills, he has indeed improved a lot, which is a bit unbelievable. . But this is not the reason for you to make trouble. Now go back and be honest, otherwise I will beat you up!”

There are rough people in the blacksmith camp, and it doesn't make sense to reason. It all depends on who has the toughest fist.

Yu Maoming's qualifications and prestige were high enough, but his words made a bunch of people around him look at each other.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Is this Jiang Lin already a blacksmith before entering the South Blacksmith Camp?"

"No." Yu Maoming shook his head and said: "When I first met him, he was just a frail boy with two arms so thin that he could be easily broken."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area exploded.

Is this really a young apprentice who has only been here for two months?

Among the crowd, Yuan Bingqi looked at Jiang Lin's position with surprise in his eyes.

"Master Yuan, do you think this is true? Does it really take two months for someone to grow from an apprentice to this point?" someone asked.

Yuan Bingqi was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then said: "Master Craftsman has said so, do you think it can still be false?"

The man opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.

The master craftsman personally admitted Jiang Lin's apprenticeship, so he couldn't be cheating, right?

If Jiang Lin's background could reach this level, there would be no need to participate in any apprenticeship test.

Having said that, if this matter is true, then how talented is this boy named Jiang Lin?

No matter what everyone thought, Yu Maoming didn't bother to talk nonsense to them. He roughly sorted out the questions and went back.

Secretary Yan Tianrong glanced at the still noisy blacksmith camp and said with a smile: "A small apprentice can cause such a big disturbance. This year's regular test is a bit interesting."

"Please wait patiently, sir, maybe there will be something more interesting." Yu Maoming said.

"Oh?" Yan Tianrong raised his eyebrows, but did not ask what was going on.

The question was too clear, but the sense of expectation was lost.

Being an official in the Foundry Department is the most relaxing thing, and you don't have to do anything yourself, as long as you are dispatched to the generals as needed.

If you can find something interesting to do, it's great to pass the time.

Yu Maoming stood on the stage, looking at the sacks beside Zhao Yankui and others, and then at Jiang Lin, who had brought his own high-quality ironware.

I couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't this group of people from the South Blacksmith Camp have brought a set of high-quality iron tools?

If this is the case, when the official blacksmith test begins, they will take out the trouble, which will probably make the situation even worse.

But Yu Maoming had no intention of exposing or stopping it in advance. In his opinion, the Blacksmith Battalion had been too lazy in recent years. It only knew how to complete the set tasks and never wanted to do anything else.

It’s time to put some eye drops on these guys who seem to be diligent, but are actually lazy, and let them know what it means that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! Not long after, apprentices began to go to the validation platform one after another, and the number was not very large.

Most of the apprentices are struggling and find this year's regular tests boring.

Only a small number of people who want to become full-time employees, or want to become familiar apprentices, are still persisting.

After Yuan Gaohao and others tried their best, they began to rank the training skills.

There is no doubt that Jiang Lin still ranks first in this test.

There are two more items at the back, namely quenching and sharpening.

Compared with training, these two items are simpler.

When Yuan Gaohao recited the key points of the test, most of them, whether apprentices or formal blacksmiths, focused on Jiang Lin.

They had no doubt that Jiang Lin would win the first place in the latter two tests, they just wanted to know what other tricks this kid could come up with.

At this time, Yu Maoming waved Yuan Gaohao away. After the two said a few words, Yuan Gaohao came back and said: "According to the order of the Master Craftsman, in this year's apprenticeship test, tempering and sharpening will no longer go alone. Anyone who wants to become a regular person, every A person takes a piece of pig iron and re-calcines it, tempers it, quenches it, and sharpens it for one hour, and the one with the best one wins!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Rebuilding it within an hour?

Although it is not difficult to become a regular employee, why should we rekindle the fire and temper ourselves?

Yuan Gaohao did not explain, but ordered people to beat the gong and start counting the time.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Some apprentices cursed, but still ran quickly to get new pig iron.

Jiang Lin was among them. Someone was picking through it, looking for a piece of high-quality pig iron, but he didn't even look at it, just grabbed a piece and left.

In the South Blacksmith Camp, Blacksmith Qi asked in confusion: "Why is Master Smith doing this?"

Zhao Yankui looked at the stage and said in a deep voice: "It should be that the Secretary wants to verify whether Jiang Lin can really use ordinary iron to create high-quality weapons at will."

"Ah? Just for him?" Blacksmith Qi was very surprised.

But then I thought about it, if Jiang Lin could really prove this, his strength would be comparable to that of the deputy craftsman.

Moreover, Jiang Lin is young enough and has only learned casting for two months. If you give him more time, who can say for sure what his future achievements will be.

There is nothing wrong with changing the rules of the apprenticeship test for such a genius.

From a side perspective, Yu Maoming's attention to Jiang Lin has reached another level.

Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but worry: "Master Craftsman, don't think of taking Jiang Lin to another place."

"Jiang Lin is unwilling to leave, and no one can touch him." Zhao Yankui snorted: "Do you think Nanling Camp is vegetarian?"

Only then did Tiejiang Qi remember this problem. Yes, with the protection of the border troops from the Nanling Camp, not to mention the Master Secretary, even the Master Secretary Yan Tianrong couldn't be tough on Jiang Lin.

Therefore, this change is purely based on Jiang Lin's personal performance.

Zhao Yankui turned his head and said to the dozen or so elite blacksmiths behind him: "Jiang Lin has already given our Nan Blacksmith Camp some air, and now it's our turn. If anyone doesn't put in half the effort, don't blame me for falling out." ! ”

More than a dozen people, including Blacksmith Qi, responded one after another.

Tang Blacksmith even more hummed and said: "Master, don't worry, we have been holding this breath in our hearts for many years, and finally we have an opportunity. We must let the other three battalions know how powerful we are!"

However, Zhao Yankui glared and said: "Are you powerful? How powerful are you?"

Blacksmith Tang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and sneered: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, Jiang Lin is the best!"
