Chapter 233: Tomorrow
Jiang Lin took the paper and looked at it. They were all shortcomings of the South Blacksmith Camp.
For example, the number of buildings is not enough, iron tools are missing, the environment is poor, and the number of ordnance turned in does not match the number of people, etc.
At first glance, South Blacksmith Camp seems to be useless.
Jiang Lin raised his head, and Yang Junchi said with a smile: "The new inspector, do your best. If you can rectify these shortcomings, it will be a great achievement. By then, it will be more than empty words to upgrade to the third level."
Jiang Lin heard the smell. These shortcomings seemed to be many, but in fact they were closely related to the construction of South Blacksmith Camp.
As long as you give enough money, it can be easily solved.
Especially ordnance.
What is the mismatch between quantity and number of people?
It’s not because there are not enough iron tools. When people get a set of iron tools, the output will naturally increase.
And this will be regarded as the credit of Jiang Lin, the check envoy, and it is simply a waste.
Yan Tianrong followed: "With so many problems, Mr. Jiang has a very heavy task. You must be more diligent and don't let down the expectations of the adults from the Ministry of Industry!"
Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates understood this and began to make corrections, striving to give the South Blacksmith Camp a new look as soon as possible!"
"That's the right attitude. We are very optimistic about you!" Yang Junchi chuckled, patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and then walked away with a square step.
Yan Tianrong was behind, winking at Jiang Lin, and then left with a smile on his face.
After the two officials left, Qi Tiejiang and others swarmed over and congratulated Jiang Lin in various ways.
It is unique for a master master to be directly promoted to a ninth-grade inspector.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe it.
"Master Jiang..." Someone just shouted and was pulled down by others.
"What is Master Jiang, now Mr. Jiang!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Jiang! Since you have been appointed as the inspector and responsible for the affairs of the South Blacksmith Camp, will you never leave again?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I won't be leaving for a while."
"What if the Ministry of War comes to transfer the order?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Then it depends on whether the transfer order from the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Industry is useful."
Jiang Lin had no idea about this matter.
After all, although the Ministry of Industry has greater power, the Ministry of War is backed by seven generals and tens of millions of frontier troops.
Both sides have their own bargaining chips, and it's hard to tell who has the upper hand.
Of course, if you really fight to the death and are completely unreasonable, the Ministry of Industry will definitely not be able to do it.
After all, it still depends on which side values Jiang Lin more and how much price they are willing to pay for him.
This promotion to an official position is also a very important matter for Jiang Lin.
After he took out three thousand taels of silver and asked Blacksmith Qi to take people to buy wine and food, Jiang Lin also returned home to tell his family the good news.
The whole family was overjoyed to learn that Jiang Lin had become a ninth-grade official.
Jiang Qingguang even pulled Jiang Lin and kowtowed several times in the direction of the ancestral grave, crying with joy.
Jiang Xiu stood next to Wang Hua, wiping the corners of her eyes with the same surprise.
Ever since my younger brother was sent to the blacksmith camp, life at home seems to have gradually gotten better.
Now that my younger brother has become an official, Lao Jiang's family is like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
Wang Hua's face was complicated, with admiration and a little inferiority complex.
His skills have also improved recently, and he can now create more or less high-quality weapons.
If you practice for a few more days, you can still improve.
At first I was happy and felt that I had achieved some success, but now I saw that it was nothing.
Compared with Jiang Lin, he is far behind.
When you see this brother-in-law again in the future, you have to call him Mr. Guan.
Although Jiang Xiu was emotionally agitated, she was keenly aware that her husband's mood was not right.
She turned her head, glanced at Wang Hua, and then stretched out her hand to tug.
When Wang Hua looked over, Jiang Xiu whispered: "No matter what happens, he is still Jiang Lin and a member of our family." Wang Hua sighed and said, "I know, but... maybe he is a little envious."
"With such a person in the family, it's us who should be envied." Jiang Xiudao.
Wang Hua was startled when he heard it, and then thought about it, it was indeed true.
As for the awkwardness in my heart, to put it bluntly, it is caused by my low self-esteem.
But having said that, didn't he already know that Jiang Lin's skills were so high? There was nothing to feel inferior to.
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things, and there are always some monsters who are different from ordinary people and have extraordinary talents.
After thinking about this, Wang Hua gradually became happy.
Emotional changes are often so random, especially at the bottom.
It's easy to think about it.
It’s also easy to get lost in thinking.
After telling his family the good news, Jiang Lin did not return to the South Blacksmith Camp. Instead, he accompanied his parents, sister, and brother-in-law to have a good home-cooked meal.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
By the way, I also accompanied Jiang Qingguang and drank a few glasses of wine.
After coming to this world, he rarely drank.
It's not that the wine here is unpalatable. Compared with the famous wines in the previous life, Daqian's wine is very strong and mellow, not bad at all.
It's just that if you drink too much wine, you will inevitably get into trouble.
Jiang Lin had previously wanted to hone his skills and become talented as soon as possible, so naturally he didn't want to touch these things.
After a meal of wine, my parents brought up the matter of marriage again.
Now that his son is an official and old enough, he should marry a wife so that he can continue the Jiang family's family line.
Jiang Lin neither agreed nor denied this issue.
It was only a matter of time before he got a wife, but he hadn't found the right one yet, and he didn't want to find a woman just to start a family.
Before you get married, you still need to have some emotional foundation first.
In this way, Jiang Lin did not return to the South Blacksmith Camp until nightfall.
A group of blacksmiths and apprentices were all drunk and staggering.
Many people fell asleep directly at the door, and the scene was a mess.
Jiang Lin returned to his room and saw Old Man Wei sitting in the room with a table of wine and food in front of him, not moving at all.
This scene made Jiang Lin feel a little guilty, and he quickly walked over and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Old Man Wei looked back at him with a smile on his face: "Waiting for you."
Jiang Lin felt very guilty. He only cared about his family and completely forgot that there was another person here.
Sitting next to Old Man Wei and pouring him a glass of wine, Jiang Lin said, "I'll take you back to my house another day."
Old Man Wei understood what he meant, hummed and said, "Congratulations on becoming an official of the Ministry of Industry."
Jiang Lin looked at him, a little uneasy, and said, "I didn't discuss it with you. The Chief Craftsman and the Secretary-General felt that if I had an official position in the Ministry of Industry, I might be able to stay in the Foundry Department. You know, I am not a very desperate person. If I can stay in the Foundry Department, it will be better than going to the frontier to fight.”
"I'm not unhappy." Old Man Wei said.
"On the contrary, I think you did the right thing."
Old Man Wei picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then sighed: "I saw too many people die on the border back then. That is not the place you should go. If you stay here, your talents and skills can be used better. .”
"Living well is enough."
Looking at Old Man Wei, whose face was full of nostalgia for the past, Jiang Lin understood that he was telling the truth.
He couldn't help but pour himself a glass, raised it and said, "Then let's celebrate tomorrow together."
Old Man Wei picked up his wine glass, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Here's to tomorrow."
One old man and one young man, they talked the most tonight.
The bright moonlight shines through the doors and windows, gradually lengthening the figures of the two people.
Just like the road of life, it gets longer and longer.
