Chapter 210 Give you one year
The way the two are talking now really looks like a grandfather and grandson.
Jiang Lin supported Old Man Wei and walked, nagging that he should eat and eat. At such an old age, he could not imitate other young people's hunger strike.
Old Man Wei walked and listened, silent but smiling.
People who should be nagging are less talkative, while people who should be obedient are long-winded.
One tall, one short, one old and one young, they look so harmonious.
……
Jiang Lin's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the South Blacksmith Camp.
Those who want to leave quietly put their thoughts away.
The few people who had already left were beating their chests and regretting their mistakes.
Going back to the original blacksmith camp has been ridiculed by others. If you go back to the southern blacksmith camp, you will really have no shame in living.
Who can I blame? I just blame myself for not being firm enough.
Jiang Lin didn't care about the loss of these people, or he didn't have time.
Because Zhao Yankui came the next day after he came back.
On the one hand, it was to visit his precious apprentice who had caused a big trouble, and on the other hand, he was bringing documents from the Foundry Department.
The content of the document is very simple, and Jiang Lin is ordered to expand the number of people. Within half a year, it will be equal to that of the other three major blacksmith camps.
When he handed the document into Jiang Lin's hands, Zhao Yankui's face bloomed with a smile.
"The Lord Secretary has said that after this matter is done, you will be promoted to Deputy Secretary. There is no need to participate in regular tests. After being promoted to Deputy Secretary, you can take care of these things if you want to. It doesn't matter if you don't want to."
< br>
A group of master blacksmiths were happy to hear this, but also a little worried.
It's great that Jiang Lin can be promoted, but what will happen to the South Blacksmith Camp when he becomes the deputy craftsman?
Jiang Lindao: "Can you tell Mr. Si Wu that I can just forget about being the assistant craftsman? I will continue to be a master craftsman in the South Blacksmith Camp."
"That's not possible." Zhao Yankui shook his head and said: "This reward is not what you say, nor is it what Sir Wu said. It is passed down directly from the Ministry of Industry."
Jiang Lin was startled, and then immediately thought of Yu Shuai.
It would be impossible to give a reward directly from the Ministry of Works to a blacksmith like him who has not yet entered the rank of a blacksmith without Yu Shuai's instructions.
Even Liao Mingxu was not qualified to let the Ministry of Works do such a thing.
Zhao Yankui said: "I know you are dedicated to blacksmithing and don't like to meddle in other people's business. Don't worry, Master Si Wu said that even if you are promoted to deputy craftsman, you will still be different from the rest of us. You can live wherever you want, and you can manage whatever you want. Very free.”
After hearing this, Jiang Lin felt relieved.
To put it simply, it means giving you the position and benefits of deputy chief craftsman, with greater authority and higher status, but without any extra effort on your part.
Even if I find a place to lie down and sleep all day, no one will say anything.
Such generous treatment is unique.
Even Zhao Yankui was a little envious.
Only after he became the assistant craftsman did he realize how bad this position was.
There are so many things to do every day, all kinds of affairs need to be dealt with, and there is very little time for blacksmithing.
It is a joke for a blacksmith to have no chance to make iron.
This made Zhao Yankui regret it very much. Why did he compete with Yuan Bingqi for the position of deputy craftsman in the first place? It would be so cool to stay in the South Blacksmith Camp and be a master craftsman.
Unfortunately, there is no point in regretting it. Yuan Bingqi now comes to the South Blacksmith Camp and concentrates on practicing the Hundred Refining Method.
When he was in East Blacksmith Camp, many people said that he was petty and arrogant.
Now many people understand that that is not the real Yuan Bingqi.
He is just a bit unique and wants to do something different from other blacksmiths. When there is a conflict of interest and it cannot be properly resolved, it may be the best choice to let yourself be a bit weird and bad-tempered so as to alienate everyone.
However, there is no need to be like this in Nan Blacksmith Camp. With Jiang Lin's prestige and Qi Blacksmith's smoothness, the atmosphere is still quite good.
Yuan Bingqi smiles every day, speaks very kindly, and is not bad at popularity.
Even the master blacksmiths who transferred from the East Blacksmith Camp sometimes wonder if their memories are wrong.
All in all, life in the Blacksmith Camp is much easier than going to the Foundry Department, unless you are determined to climb up, like Yuan Gaohao.
Jiang Lin guessed that it was Yu Shuai's intention, so it was hard to refuse.
Yan Tianrong can deny face, but he cannot deny face to Yu Shuai.
As for why Yushuai wanted to give him this reward specifically, Jiang Lin thought about it and found only one possibility.
That's because Yu Shuai saw that he could build a treasure.
No one in the entire foundry department can build treasure weapons, not even the craftsman Yu Maoming.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Because Baobing requires not only skills, but also secret recipes.
Jiang Lin can skip the secret recipe and create a treasure weapon in an alternative way.
Regardless of whether others can understand this method, it is unique in the Foundry Department.
The powerful clans gathered the blacksmiths from all over the world and blocked the secret recipe. It was obviously not without purpose, there must be a reason.
No matter what the reason is, if His Majesty the Emperor really intends to reduce the feudal vassal, the blacksmith will definitely be one of them.
Therefore, it is very likely that the imperial court wanted to use Jiang Lin's methods to break through the blockade of powerful clans on weapons above the level of treasure soldiers.
Whether there are other reasons is currently unknown.
But whether there is or not, for Jiang Lin, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
The more the court takes you seriously, the safer you will be!
With this thought, Jiang Lin took the document into his hand, nodded and said: "In that case, I will discuss it with Master Qi and the others."
"In this expansion, we will try to increase the number of people as much as possible and catch all the people who want to come. When other blacksmith camps can no longer recruit people, we will recruit them from the private sector. In addition, the number of apprentices will be increased several times for you this year."
Zhao Yankui talked about a lot of benefits promised by the Foundry Department.
Blacksmith Qi and others were very excited when they heard this. If these benefits can be realized, the success of South Blacksmith Camp will be just around the corner!
No, it should be said that he has already become famous.
Jiang Lin nodded, he also meant the same thing.
Hire all the people who can be found in other blacksmith camps. If you can't find anyone, then think of ways elsewhere.
"By the way, can you really build a treasure weapon now?" Zhao Yankui asked.
"The probability is not high, maybe one out of a hundred." Jiang Lin said.
Zhao Yankui looked strange when he heard this. Judging from your tone, he seems to be very dissatisfied?
Even if the Foundry Department sent some good stuff last time, it was only compared to pig iron, and it was not particularly good.
As for the treasured weapons built by Jiang Lin, it is said that they are all based on pig iron, and at most they are mixed with black crystal iron like the stove.
Can you use black crystal iron to build a treasure weapon?
It's obviously impossible, at least no one in the Foundry Department can do it.
Looking at Jiang Lin, who was already half a head taller than him, Zhao Yankui suddenly sighed: "It has only been so long, and you have already far surpassed me. Sometimes it feels like I am in a dream. If I had not confiscated you as my apprentice, you might not be here now." I’m going to become your apprentice.”
This is really not a compliment. If Zhao Yankui met a blacksmith who could make precious weapons out of pig iron, Zhao Yankui could not resist learning from him.
Jiang Lin laughed sarcastically when he heard this and said, "What are you saying, master? You are my master at all times."
Looking for follow-up order, follow-up will be later
