Chapter 282 will scare people to death
Yang Junchi was immediately unhappy. These border troops were really annoying and they liked to poach people in front of them.
Jiang Lin said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be ridiculous. The frontier army is better than the frontier army, but the Ministry of Industry is not bad either. I just passed the Zhenshuo Camp, and I want to go in and make some friends. I will also invite some of the old men there someday." Brother, help introduce me.”
At these words, the sergeants who spoke beamed with joy: "Master Jiang wants to make friends with our Zhenshuo camp. You don't need an introduction. Just go directly. If anyone dares to stop you, I will twist his head off!"
All members of the Nanling Camp had fourth-grade weapons, but the frontier troops were drooling over them. The Zhenshuo Camp was also considered to be close to the water, first come first served, and occupied a good position.
Jiang Lin intended to have a good relationship with the border army camp where he would be resting for several years, so as to provide a backer for his family so that he would not be bullied by others when he went out occasionally.
With the border troops protecting them, even if a fifth-rank official comes here, he has to be polite.
After some conversation, Jiang Lin successfully narrowed the relationship with Zhenshuo Camp, allowing several sergeants to leave happily.
Then he handed over to Yang Junchi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, did you just ask me to go to the Ministry of Industry?"
"Master Jiang wants to be promoted to the fifth rank. Naturally, Master Shangshu must hand over the jade plaque and official uniform in person to make it look grand." Yang Junchi said.
Jiang Lin nodded and said, "Then let me sort these things out and let me know when I go back to the South Blacksmith Camp. Don't delay, right?"
"No delay, no delay, Mr. Jiang is busy with his own business first."
Jiang Xiu hesitated whether to let this fifth-grade doctor stay for a meal, but the food at home was very ordinary and might not be to his liking.
Yang Junchi, however, consciously did not stay to disturb the family reunion. He put down his things and left.
After he left, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Jiang Lin will soon be a fifth-rank official, he is a member of his own family, and after all, he cannot compare with the pressure brought by outsiders.
After relaxing, Jiang Xiu looked at the boxes again and couldn't help but get excited.
She didn't value anything else, but she couldn't take her eyes off the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
With so much money, even if you eat it as steamed buns, you can eat it till you grow old!
Jiang Lin saw this and said, "Sister, how much money do you think is appropriate to keep at home?"
Jiang Xiu swallowed subconsciously and said: "This is a reward for you, wouldn't it be nice to keep it..."
"This is my home, and you should stay here. It's just that your cultivation level is too low, and you are afraid of being missed by thieves. Otherwise, why don't you keep 50,000 taels?" Jiang Lin asked.
Jiang Xiu was shocked, fifty thousand taels!
She waved her hands quickly: "No, no, five hundred taels is too much, we don't need those. You are right, if it is stolen by a thief, it will be heartbreaking, so you should take it to the blacksmith camp."
Jiang Lin didn't force it. Anyway, the money wouldn't fly away in his hands. If his family needed it, he could take it at any time.
"Speaking of which, I will be a fifth-grade official from now on. You can no longer call me casually. You have to call me Master Jiang." Wang Hua said.
His expression didn't look like he was joking at all.
Jiang Lindao: "No matter what rank you are, you are still my sister and brother-in-law, as well as my father and mother. They will never change, so why should you be so unfamiliar. Brother-in-law, have your skills improved these days?"
When he changed the topic, Wang Hua's attention was immediately drawn.
Jiang Xiu did not disturb the two brothers and took his parents to buy a lot of meat and vegetables. The meal was extremely rich.
Jiang Qingguang couldn't help but drink a few more drinks and became drunk.
Lao Jiang's family has been poor for several generations, and finally he has become successful and has become a high official!
Even Jiang Xiu drank half a cup, his face flushed.
Jiang Lin has made a difference. As a sister, she can be said to be proud of herself. She no longer has to be humble to anyone.
The meal was enjoyable, and just halfway through the meal, General Zheng Qiran from Zhenshuo Camp came running with a group of people.
Behind him, there was Blacksmith Qi and others.
It was a joy to see old acquaintances like Jiang Lin and Qi Tiejiang again.
They were extremely worried during this period, fearing that something might happen to Jiang Lin and that they would not be able to support the huge Nan Blacksmith Camp.
Now that he is fine, Mr. Jiang is fine, and he can finally let go of his worries.
As for military attachés like Zheng Qiran, they came specifically to pay a visit to Jiang Lin.
Not to mention Jiang Lin's ability to forge treasured weapons and make the entire battalion's sergeants wear weapons of the fourth grade. If he killed fourteen Xuanhua Tao mountain masters with a sword at him and fought side by side with Yu Shuai, he would have to Come and make friends.
Compared to Liao Mingxu, Zheng Qiran spoke much more politely, but his politeness seemed a bit harsh.
Jiang Lin didn't care. They had gotten along well and had known each other for several years.
With so many people coming, there will definitely be no food to eat. Just replying to everyone is enough to keep busy for half a day.
Jiang Qingguang's family is not good at socializing, and they seemed a little overwhelmed by the arrival of so many people.
When Jiang Lin saw this scene, he excused himself to take things back to the South Blacksmith Camp and planned to leave right away, so that the whole family would not be left staring at each other without knowing where to put their hands.
Jiang Xiu originally wanted to leave Jiang Lin to sleep at home for one night, but she remembered that several adults from the Ministry of Industry were still waiting, and she also needed to go to the South Blacksmith Camp, so she reluctantly sent him away.
The sergeants from the Zhenshuo Camp and the master blacksmiths from the South Blacksmith Camp rushed to help.
Blacksmith Qi came close to Jiang Lin and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so brave. He went to the border and was promoted to the fifth rank when he came back. I just didn't know that you could stay in the south after becoming a fifth-rank doctor. Blacksmith Camp? ”
"It should be okay." Jiang Lin said.
The Ministry of Industry does not lack a doctor and gives him a fifth-grade official position just to win people's hearts.
It doesn't matter where the Jianglin people are or what they are doing.
What's more, various skills need to be upgraded, which means Jiang Lin must continue to do his job as a blacksmith. If the Ministry of Works doesn't let him blacksmith, then he doesn't want to be a fifth-grade official.
After carrying a pile of things back to the South Blacksmith Camp, all the blacksmith masters and apprentices came to cheer.
Among the crowd, Jiang Lin saw Old Man Wei at a glance.
Old Man Wei walked over slowly, his face full of displeasure: "Why didn't you tell me when you left?"
Jiang Lin lowered his head slightly, looked at the old man who had helped him a lot, and said, "I'm afraid you'll worry and won't let me go."
Old Man Wei opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just said: "If this happens again, at least let me know where you have been."
Jiang Lin heard what he meant. The border troops were too dangerous, and there was a risk of sudden death if they messed around blindly.
At least I know where you are, so I can help you collect your body.
Although these words are somewhat unlucky, for Old Man Wei, who was born in the border army, it is one of the few things he can do at present.
Blacksmith Qi said: "A few days ago, people from the watchtower also came to see you. They knew you had gone to the frontier and never came again." Neither Old Man Wei nor the watchtower was informed by Jiang Lin about going to the border.
Now Old Man Wei should be fine here. As for sitting in the watchtower, I don't know what the reaction will be. He probably won't collapse immediately after going out.
He carried a pile of boxes into the house. They were so full that they couldn’t be stuffed anymore.
The wide variety of materials and monster beast remains made Jiang Lin unable to bear the urge to start blacksmithing immediately.
But in the end, you still have to be humane and worldly and take care of trivial matters before you can continue to improve your skills.
Thinking of this, he didn't waste any more time and immediately went to Kyoto City.
When they came to the Ministry of Industry, Sun Zhongyun, the Minister, and Si Hongwen, the Minister, had been waiting for a long time.
They were not unhappy at all because Jiang Lin came late. Instead, they smiled and said some nice words.
Ding Chengyun has already emphatically recounted how much Ling Shuai and Yu Shuai valued Jiang Lin and the bargaining chips they threw out.
Sun Zhongyun is not stupid. He doesn't understand how important Jiang Lin is now.
As long as he lets go, Ling Shuai will really dare to give Jiang Lin a second-grade general soldier.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Mr. Jiang is young and promising. He will become a great person in the future. I will never have to rely on Mr. Jiang in the future." Si Hongwen said with a smile.
These words were naturally meant as compliments. Who made Jiang Lin's status in the border army almost equal to his own?
Even though Yu Shuai has already made a deal with the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Lin is a big man. If he really wants to leave the Ministry of Industry, who can stop him?
If Jiang Lin really becomes the second-grade general soldier and comes to the Ministry of Industry in the future, even the minister will have to show courtesy.
Sun Zhongyun naturally understood this, and ordered people to take Jiang Lin's official uniform, jade plaques, and credit cards and hand them over with his own hands.
"Master Jiang's qualifications are still relatively low. If he is promoted too quickly, he will inevitably attract people's attention. This time, he will only be given the fifth grade. It will not be too late to upgrade him to a few more levels in the future."
Sun Zhongyun came up and started to draw the cake. It was big and round. Jiang Lin took the cake and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your kindness. Five items are enough."
"Are you satisfied with the rewards you sent earlier?" Sun Zhongyun asked.
"I am very satisfied." Jiang Lin did not hide his true thoughts and said: "Even now, Xianguan still only thinks of himself as a blacksmith. He only wants to hone his skills and become a person like the ancestor as soon as possible. If you want to do it in the future If you want to reward me, I will give you more different types of materials. I am very grateful!”
When he was satisfied, Sun Zhongyun was also satisfied, and the entire Ministry of Industry was satisfied.
Later, a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry came forward and presented various congratulatory gifts.
When Jiang Lin came before, no one was so eager. After all, no matter how talented he was, he was only an eighth-grade official at the time.
It's not worth mentioning in a place like the Ministry of Industry.
But now Jiang Lin has not only been promoted to the fifth rank of doctor, he also has a very important position in the hearts of both the minister and the commander-in-chief of the border army.
No matter what you think in your heart, you have to come here to congratulate him honestly now, otherwise it will not be the rising star who will be annoyed, but the Lord Shangshu!
In the evening, the Ministry of Industry held a banquet, and Jiang Lin couldn't shirk it, so he could only stay for one meal.
It was not until late at night that I left the Ministry of Works.
Walking on the streets of Kyoto City, the cold wind blew, and Jiang Lin patted his face, which was numb from laughter.
Sure enough, being an official is not that easy. Just smiling at people can make your face cramp. It is simply more tiring than going to the frontier to fight.
Unknowingly, Jiang Lin walked to the door of the Zaibang Tower, and was surprised to find that although the store door was closed, the lights were bright inside, and there were faint voices.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Lin stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the store door opened, and a familiar Jianghu person looked at Jiang Lin and said, "It's time to rest. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy anything."
Before he finished speaking, a voice of surprise came from behind: "Master Jiang!"
Two old acquaintances, Tian Daheng and Song Houyong, ran over, pushed away the Jianghu man standing at the door, and said excitedly: "You are back from the border!"
Jiang Lin smiled and said: "I just came back today. I heard that you went to the South Blacksmith Camp, so I thought of coming to say hello."
Speaking of this, Tian Daheng and Song Houyong looked at each other with a gloomy expression.
"What's wrong? Something happened to the watchtower?" Jiang Lin asked.
Tian Daheng lowered his head slightly and said: "We know that Zhanwanglou is now weak and cannot help you. I only feel ashamed to cultivate you."
That day, when I went to the South Blacksmith Camp and learned that Jiang Lin was heading to the border, Tian Daheng withered.
Zaibang Tower has actually been developing very well recently, and it already looks like a third-rate force.
In Tian Daheng's heart, regardless of whether Jiang Lin recognized it or not, Zhan Wangtou was a force under Master Jiang's command.
But when Jiang Lin went to the border area, he never informed them. Is it because he looked down on the watchtower at all and felt that even if he informed them, it would be meaningless?
In the past twenty days, Tian Daheng and Song Houyong have worked harder to recruit people and expand, but the feeling of depression in their hearts has not been eliminated, but has become more and more serious.
Jiang Lin was startled, then laughed dumbly and said: "Where are you thinking? The reason why I don't say it is just because this is my private matter, how can I hurt all brothers."
Song Houyong said solemnly: "What Mr. Jiang said is wrong. You founded the Zaobang Tower without your support. Without your support, we would not be where we are today. If Mr. Jiang thinks that we are really useless, that's all."
These words were somewhat harsh, which showed that Song Houyong was resentful.
Tian Daheng quickly hit him and scolded: "How can you talk to Mr. Jiang like this!"
Song Houyong came to his senses and quickly raised his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang. I am just in a hurry, and..."
Jiang Lin waved his hand and said: "Perhaps I didn't think it through well, but I really don't want to bother you with my personal matters. If you continue to grow stronger and hunt more monsters, the help you will bring is far greater than those who follow me to the border. ”
"There is a saying that goes well, there is no distinction between high and low jobs in this world, it's just that the division of labor is different."
"Sitting in the watchtower is also your hard work. You should be cautious, how can you ruin the good prospects due to your own emotions."
After a pause, Jiang Lin said again: "The level of strength is only temporary. When I refine more elixirs, even one palace, two gates and three castles will be nothing more than that. If they can be the top force, why sit in the watchtower? Can’t?”
After saying this, Tian Daheng, Song Houyong and others gradually came to their senses.
Yes, in a place like the frontier where people will die if they go there, the strength of just sitting on the watchtower is not enough to even fill the gap between the teeth.
Rather than die, it is better to hunt more monsters for Mr. Jiang in a safe place and work hard to expand his power. Maybe one day he will be of great help.
In fact, it was not that Tian Daheng and others couldn't understand this truth. They just worked hard for a long time and found that it was still difficult to follow Jiang Lin's footsteps. The gap between them was even getting farther and farther, which made them feel unspeakably discouraged.
Jiang Lin smiled and said: "To be honest with you, sitting in the watchtower is indeed not as good as it is right now. In my opinion, everyone should be in the divine martial realm to be considered qualified. But I don't know if you have the guts to bet on the future with me?" br>
Tian Daheng and others were a little dumbfounded. Everyone is in the divine martial realm?
Mr. Jiang...don't be joking, you'll scare people to death!
