Chapter 230: Promotion of official positions
"If you want to enter the ninth and eighteenth level of Daqian, it's not impossible..." Yan Tianrong stood up, his eyes looking thoughtful.
The deputy secretary under him is the ninth grade.
Just become an official in Daqian, or join the army and achieve military exploits.
Either get a good name and enter an official career.
Jiang Lin has now joined the border army. Logically speaking, he should mainly focus on military merit and go through the promotion channel of military attache.
But Yan Tianrong knew that the reason why Yu Maoming came to him to discuss this matter was obviously because he did not want Jiang Lin to follow the path of a military attache.
Otherwise, they are people from the border army. What does it have to do with their foundry department?
"I just told Jiang Lin that this matter will be suppressed for the time being and will not be spread outside. Otherwise, once it gets out, you may not have a chance again," Yu Maoming said.
Yan Tianrong's body was shaking slightly and his face was slightly ugly.
If word of this gets out, the Ministry of War might actually give Jiang Lin the title of military attaché.
No, absolutely not!
He suddenly couldn't sit still and said quickly: "You are right, the opportunity is just around the corner. This is a great opportunity for our foundry department to rise. We must not let it go! In this way, I will go to the Ministry of Industry to find my mentor now. He may have a solution.”
Yan Tianrong's mentor was a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, holding a fifth-rank official position.
Not too tall, but at least much taller than him.
Even if the mentor can't make the decision, at least you can look up through him and find someone who can accomplish this.
Thinking of this, Yan Tianrong immediately stepped out and walked so fast that he almost tripped over the threshold.
Seeing the Secretary, holding on to the door frame, standing firm and running out in a hurry, Yu Maoming quickly reminded from behind: "Sir, please don't look for too many people, so as not to leak the news."
"I know, I know." Yan Tianrong waved his hand without looking back.
Yu Maoming shouted again: "By the way, Master Jiang said he wanted some benefits..."
"Give me what you want, no need to ask anymore!" Yan Tianrong's voice gradually faded away.
Yu Maoming walked out of the house with a smile on his face. The matter was half done.
He exhaled a breath, then turned and walked towards the foundry department's warehouse.
When he arrived at the door, he said to the people guarding the warehouse: "Open this warehouse and move all the valuable items inside to the South Blacksmith Camp."
Those people were stunned when they heard this: "Master Craftsman, did you say, everything?"
"All!"
Yan Tianrong didn't come back all night, and Jiang Lin didn't sleep a wink either.
Because Yu Maoming personally led people and horses to pull nearly ten carts of things.
There really aren’t too many good things, there’s just a little bit of everything.
When Jiang Lin saw these ten carts of things, he was stunned. Did Mr. Yu really move the warehouse?
Regardless of whether things are useful or not, and how valuable they are, people’s intentions are here.
Jiang Lin could only continue, unable to refuse.
Blacksmith Qi and others came out to help move things in the middle of the night, but they were a little confused. There were too many things. Where should they put them?
The warehouse in the South Blacksmith Camp is not as big as the Foundry Department, and there are a lot of charcoal, pig iron and the like piled up.
Yu Maoming waved his hand and ordered two rooms to be vacated, so that there was enough space for them.
Although Yu Maoming said that these things were given to Nan Blacksmith Camp by the Foundry Department, everyone knew in their hearts that they were for Jiang Lin personally.
It would be really stupid to really think it was something from the South Blacksmith Camp. Seeing the two rooms full of materials, boxes, money, and even a small piece of strange wood, Jiang Lin felt mixed emotions.
Whether it's a big favor or a small favor, it's quite difficult to deal with.
Yu Maoming came over and cupped his hands and said: "This is all the Foundry Department can give, and it may not be worth much money..."
"You're welcome, Mr. Craftsman." Jiang Lin sighed: "Actually, it's not so troublesome, but it makes me feel a little sorry."
"There is nothing to feel sorry for. This is what the Foundry Department should do." Yu Maoming whispered again: "The Secretary has gone to the Ministry of Industry overnight to find an official position for you, and you can at least enter the rank."
< br>
Jiang Lin was startled. He had previously said that he would be given a false position as deputy craftsman, but he no longer felt that it was necessary. Now he was directly given a high-level official position?
You don’t even need to be the assistant craftsman?
"I..."
Yu Maoming interrupted him directly and asked: "Master Jiang doesn't want to leave the blacksmith camp, right?"
"Of course I don't want to," Jiang Lin said.
Yu Maoming nodded and said: "That's why you need the protection of this official position, otherwise you will have to go to the border to forge iron as soon as the Ministry of War sends an order."
Jiang Lin vaguely understood what he wanted to do, but he was a little skeptical about the effect of this matter. Could it really be as big as Yu Maoming thought?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"The border army is indeed powerful, and it is also very powerful in the court, but it does not really cover the sky with one hand. Your Majesty's Holy Grace, how can the emperor's art allow one family to dominate." Yu Maoming lowered his voice and said: "It's just this matter If you want to succeed, on the one hand, you need an official position, but on the other hand, you also need Master Jiang to make some big enough noise so that the adults in the Ministry of Industry can see your value."
The official rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is from the first rank, which is lower than the seven generals and the same as the Minister of the Ministry of War.
But the Ministry of Industry is a relatively special existence among the six ministries.
The territory of Daqian was so large that the power of the Ministry of Works was enlarged, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel had to step aside.
Strictly speaking, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry complement each other. You have me, and I have you.
But the two families manage different things.
When it comes to fighting, the Ministry of Industry is definitely not good at it, but when it comes to quarreling in the court, he is not inferior to anyone.
As long as Jiang Lin shows high enough value, the adults in the Ministry of Industry will naturally come forward to protect him.
Unless the seven marshals really go out of their way to shamelessly argue with them, or even kidnap people forcibly, it is certain that Jiang Lin will stay in the Foundry Department.
"But it is not enough for the Ministry of Works to come forward as a guarantee. Master Jiang still needs to make contributions himself. But this credit cannot come from the border army, but from the Ministry of Works. Only in this way can we continue to gain promotions and titles. . When your official rank is high enough, you will be able to protect yourself even without the Ministry of Industry.”
"Just like the ancestor of our blacksmith, he is a first-class Duke and has a transcendent status. Even if the commander-in-chief sees him, he must treat him with courtesy."
After what Yu Maoming said, Jiang Lin suddenly felt enlightened.
Joining the frontier army was not what he wanted, he was just seeking self-protection under the pressure of the powerful clan.
Now that Yu Maoming gave him an opportunity to protect himself without offending the border troops, Jiang Lin was naturally willing.
As for how to make contributions and follow the procedures from the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Lin didn't think it was a problem.
To put it simply, make more iron, make a lot of good weapons, and help the border army defeat the enemy. This is credit, and it belongs to the Ministry of Industry!
Of course, the premise is that he is forging iron in the Foundry Department.
If he really went to the frontier and became a blacksmith with the army, all this would be empty talk.
