Chapter 229 Give him an official position
A test of mid-grade spiritual weapon arrows pushed Jiang Lin's reputation in the South Blacksmith Camp to its peak.
Regardless of the old seniority or the newly joined masters and apprentices, they all respected him like a god.
If there were people who spread the news that Jiang Lin was the reincarnation of the Patriarch before and were criticized for talking nonsense, now at least half of the people believe it.
If the Patriarch hadn't been reincarnated, how could he have such great power that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods weep.
There is no secret recipe for treasure weapons, but it can break through the limits of ordinary soldiers and even create mid-level spiritual weapons!
Even the method of fusion and forging is beyond imagination.
It’s just a matter of tempering pig iron and black crystal iron together with the steel-pouring method. Now, the fragments of the middle-grade treasure weapon and the high-grade spiritual weapon are also fused together. Is this something that humans can do?
When Yu Maoming heard about this, he came with several deputy craftsmen and was dumbfounded.
Sijian Yu, who only wanted to make the blacksmiths live a better life, now looked at Jiang Lin, feeling suddenly sad in his heart.
I have worked hard all my life and did not hesitate to be at odds with the Chief Secretary, just to protect the bottom line of the blacksmith camp and prevent the blacksmith who was already living a hard life from being disturbed by other things.
But after working hard for most of my life, I'm afraid it's not as powerful as Jiang Lin's arrow.
With this arrow, who dares to underestimate the blacksmith camp again?
Yu Maoming walked up to Jiang Lin, hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "Do you want to tell the adults in the border army that you can build a middle-grade spiritual weapon?"
Jiang Lin saw that he had other intentions and asked, "What do you mean by this, Mr. Craftsman?"
Yu Maoming showed some hesitation. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have some selfish motives. Even if you want to say it, please slow down."
A craftsman spoke to the master of the blacksmith camp, but he used the word "please".
Jiang Lin realized the seriousness of it, but was a little puzzled: "Sir, can you tell me why?"
Yu Maoming sighed and said: "If this news spreads, this place will definitely be surrounded by people from the army, and you are afraid that you will never have peace again. Even if the military men in the border army don't assign work to you, do you think the Ministry of War Can I let you go?”
"Right now, the South Blacksmith Camp is at a critical stage of prosperity. If it attracts too much attention at this moment, I'm afraid it will unsettle people's hearts. Therefore, it will be good for the Blacksmith Camp to wait a little longer."
Yu Maoming didn't make his words very clear, but Jiang Lin knew that the so-called too much attention actually referred to himself, but to the entire blacksmith camp.
He could also imagine that when this news spread, it would definitely attract many military attachés.
Like Liao Mingxu before, if he asks you for hundreds of feather arrows, can you refuse to give them?
They don't press you with military orders, but they are willing to pay you money.
Unless you plan to fall out with these military attachés, you can only agree.
In fact, these are not what Yu Maoming is worried about. What he is really worried about is whether Jiang Lin will be transferred directly when the news comes out that he can build a mid-level spiritual weapon.
It is true that the Nanling Camp has no intention of ending its rest and returning to the frontier, but there is no guarantee that the adults in the Ministry of War will not just transfer the order and let Jiang Lin go first.
You must know that the weapons supplied by the four major blacksmith camps in Kyoto are only basic guarantees.
On the frontier, there are more blacksmiths working all the time, providing necessary ordnance for tens of millions of frontier troops.
It would be a pity not to send a rare and powerful blacksmith like Jiang Lin.
No dynasty cared more about the border troops than Daqian.
Because as long as the border troops are still there, the hinterland of Daqian will always be safe and secure, and the territory will continue to expand outwards.
Once Jiang Lin leaves, the Foundry Department will be the same as before, with no possibility of rising.
As for whether Jiang Lin would be able to lead the foundry department or the blacksmith battalion to regain the lost glory if he stayed, Yu Maoming could not guarantee it.
He just thought that even if there was a one in 10,000 possibility, he should give it a try.
After all, it is not easy for the blacksmith camp to produce such a character. As long as Jiang Lin obtains a high enough status before leaving the blacksmith camp, the status of the Foundry Department in the Forty-eight Divisions of Dagan will naturally rise.
Yu Maoming added: "I know that if this matter is really suppressed, you are afraid that you will be wronged. So you can just say it. I will go to the Secretary-General to ask for whatever the Foundry Division can give."
Jiang Lin didn't say it hypocritically. He didn't feel wronged and didn't need any benefits.
Since Yu Maoming took the initiative to say this, he said: "I don't know what I can ask for. Let the craftsman make the decision. Give me whatever you think I can use."
Yu Maoming's heart trembled when he heard this, thinking that if you talk like this, I'm afraid that I will completely hollow out the entire foundry department.
Although I feel distressed, I think it's not a loss if I can keep Jiang Lin for a while.
"Okay! Then I'll go back, even if I bring the Foundry Department's warehouse!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Craftsman." Jiang Lin said politely.
Yu Maoming returned to the Foundry Department and walked directly into the room of Secretary Yan Tianrong.
Yan Tianrong looked up and saw that his expression was so serious, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is Mr. Yu looking like this? What happened?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Master Jiang Linjiang has created a middle-grade spiritual weapon." Yu Maoming said: "I have personally confirmed this matter!"
Yan Tianrong's body trembled suddenly. Although he was not a military attache, he was still the clerk of the Foundry Department, so he naturally understood what the middle-grade spiritual soldiers represented.
Almost only the general soldiers have the opportunity to obtain weapons of this level.
Yu Maoming bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Master Siwu, I have a grudge to ask you."
Yan Tianrong took a deep breath and said, "Say."
"My subordinate wants to find a new rank for Master Jiang, and I would like to ask Sir Wu to help him no matter what." Yu Maoming said.
Yan Tianrong was stunned, looking for a rank?
It's not money or position, it's rank!
"You mean, let him join the court as an official?" Yan Tianrong asked.
"It may not be necessary to join the court, but this person's talent is extremely evil, just like the ancestor was alive. If one day he can become a high official in the court, will you still worry about the foundry department having no future?" Yu Maoming said.
Yan Tianrong was a little stunned when he heard that Jiang Lin became a high-ranking official?
He had never thought of such a thing.
"But he is just a blacksmith..."
Yu Maoming said: "In the past, when the Qiang Dynasty was first established, my ancestor was also a blacksmith, but he was the first-class Duke of the country, with a transcendent status. What the ancestor can do, Jiang Lin may not be able to do."
Yan Tianrong's expression was extremely complicated. This was the first time he heard Yu Maoming praise someone in such an exaggerated way.
If he hadn't known that Jiang Lin was really powerful, he would have thought Yu Maoming was crazy.
Can a blacksmith who has only been in the blacksmith camp for half a year become a first-class official in the future?
But thinking about what Jiang Lin had done, for some reason, Yan Tianrong suddenly felt that it was not completely impossible.
As Yu Maoming said, what the ancestor blacksmith could do may not be impossible for future generations.
Looking for more orders, I will write in the future
