Chapter 216 Weapon Replacement
When others bring up this issue, Jiang Lin will directly shirk it, because he knows that they are all motivated by profit.
But Old Man Wei was different. Jiang Lin turned to look at him and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry."
Old Man Wei didn't say anything more, and Jiang Lin thought it was over with just one sentence.
After a while, Old Man Wei said quietly: "There are a few old men of the same age as me, and I heard that they all have great-grandchildren. It's good, four generations live under one roof."
Jiang Lin turned his head again and saw Old Man Wei lowering his head and tugging at the hem of his clothes.
She didn't look like she was from the frontier army, but she looked like an embarrassed young girl.
Jiang Lin smiled, suddenly put his arm around Old Man Wei's shoulders, and said with a smile: "If you ask me, I'd better find you a wife. I heard Blacksmith Qi say that his father and several uncles all have more than one wife. Don't worry. Now I have money, how old do you want it to be?”
Old Man Wei's face suddenly turned red and he pushed Jiang Lin away: "Go, go, what are you talking about!"
Jiang Lin has never been in love in this life, and neither has Old Man Wei.
As I get older, my skin seems to become thinner.
Jiang Lin laughed loudly and teased reluctantly.
One old and one young, in the company of dim candlelight, the picture looks so warm.
There are no so-called ordinary people in this world. As Blacksmith Qi said, if he is not a big shot who can decide his life or death, then he has to think about how to survive.
It is not easy to live, but it is even more difficult to live well.
……
The next day.
Jiang Lin continued to build weapons early in the morning, and three hundred pieces was not a small number.
He can now make more than a dozen items in one day, and it will take more than twenty days to complete no matter what.
Several other border army camps sent people to ask about the weapons. Jiang Lin did not hide it and said that he planned to exchange new weapons with them.
Not to mention, the people in these frontier army camps were not angry about this, but were actually quite happy.
The weapons built by Jiang Lin have already become famous in small circles.
Not a treasured soldier, but better than a treasured soldier.
Especially the feather arrows with the effect of tarsal maggots. Eight arrows killed the deputy master of Thunder Eagle Castle who was at the peak of martial arts. He then chased the murderer for thousands of miles and seriously injured the Yuanwu Realm guard with seven arrows.
This is what they saw with their own eyes and will not lie.
Who wouldn't want such a sharp weapon?
Therefore, everyone is very enthusiastic about the exchange of weapons.
Several generals even made a special trip, saying they wanted to buy some tarsal maggot feather arrows.
They didn't dare to ask for it by force. After all, the South Blacksmith Camp was affiliated with the Foundry Department, while Jiang Lin was affiliated with the Nanling Camp.
What's more, everyone in the border army knew that Yu Shuai had already paid attention to the young blacksmith. Even if he just glanced at him casually, no one dared to force him to do anything.
Bianjun was just crazy, not stupid. He knew what to do and what not to do.
Liao Mingxu still had a lot of the rotten cow monster eyes that he sent last time, and it would be easy to make thousands more feather arrows.
It's just that the taste of this thing is too strong. Secondly, Jiang Lin wants to use the fake treasure weapons he made to exchange for weapons with good materials.
After some discussion, the military attaches at the border camp made up their minds.
All weapons that are made of higher-grade materials than pig iron, regardless of their current grade, even if they are just new-grade weapons, you can come to Jiang Lin to exchange them for a higher-grade weapon.
Of course, it is limited to the top grade made of pig iron.
If you want to integrate the fake treasure weapons from the remains of monster beasts, you have to pay more. I won't let you add more. Just add one thousand taels of silver to each item.
After all, it's not much different from buying a first-grade weapon directly. Even if it's a little more expensive, it's worth it!
Each battalion's replacement weapons will be given a quota to purchase five Tarsal Maggot Feather Arrows.
Each feather arrow is priced at one hundred taels of silver.
Of course, the price is expensive. Those who are willing will take the bait. If you have so much money, you can buy whatever you want. If you don’t have money, don’t say anything.
It's true that the frontier army is one of our own, but brothers Ming and Liao Mingxu have to pay, and others will naturally have to pay more.
On the same day, several frontier army camps sent hundreds of weapons, and all the basic ones with some good stuff were obtained.
Some only add a very small amount of good materials, and they are just trying to exploit loopholes.
Jiang Lin didn't take them too seriously and still carried out the replacement as he said before.
As a result, the number of weapons owed directly exceeded 600.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After that, it will take one and a half to two months to find Jiang Lin to build weapons.
Despite this, countless people still come to see him every day.
A blacksmith shop with only one person is more popular than a large shop with thousands of people.
Within a few days, Blacksmith Qi and others put up signs recruiting people at the three blacksmith camps in the east, west, and north every day, and the number of people who signed up quickly exceeded one thousand, then one thousand five, and then two thousand.
This forced Blacksmith Qi to withdraw his people, not because he was afraid of any dissatisfaction from the other blacksmith camps, but if he continued to recruit, those companies would really be empty.
When he came back, Blacksmith Qi was still talking to Jiang Lin with half joy and half worry: "In this case, it is better to discuss with the Foundry Department and simply merge all the blacksmith camps, and make no distinction between southeast, northwest and northwest."
< br>
Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "The reason why it is divided into southeast, northwest and northwest is because there are too many people to manage. Even if it is merged now, it will eventually be divided into several parts. Otherwise, if you are asked to directly manage tens of thousands of people, will you be able to handle it? ?”
Blacksmith Qi nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case.
Of course, he didn't want to have that much power, but he was just worried about how to arrange the two to three thousand people who were about to join the Southern Blacksmith Camp.
The Camping and Restoration Department didn't build that many houses. If these people really came, they might have to sleep in the open air every day like the apprentices.
In addition, they spend the first half of the month in other blacksmith camps and the second half of the month in the southern blacksmith camp. How will the salary be paid? Who will pay it and how much.
If the cost of meals increases due to the increase in the number of people, we have to go to the Foundry Department immediately to ask for it.
There are also iron tools. Other blacksmith camps are not willing to let the blacksmiths who leave take all the iron tools with them.
The iron weapons for two to three thousand people cannot be gathered in a short time.
There were so many things that Blacksmith Qi's scalp went numb just thinking about them.
I previously thought that the number of masters in the South Blacksmith Camp would be too high, but now it seems that it is too few, pitiful.
If we add twenty more people, it will be enough.
"Take your time with the ironware. Just give them pig iron and let them build it themselves." Jiang Lin said: "In addition, after the people arrive, they will conduct an assessment based on the last-place elimination system within a month. Five percent will be eliminated first. Say it again.”
"So soon?" Blacksmith Qi thought Jiang Lin would plan to do this again next year.
"The first thing a new official needs to do when taking office is to establish rules first. And setting rules at this time is the easiest time to accept them."
Jiang Lin paused and said: "The last elimination system will first target the new entrants, including the first two batches. As for the old masters from the Southern Blacksmith Camp, please wait until next quarter to participate."
