He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 103: Order from the Casting Division
Several blacksmiths from the Northern Blacksmith Camp used the excuse of going out to buy some belongings, but they turned right and headed towards the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

One of them looked uneasy and said, "Master Song, we went to the Southern Blacksmith Camp to register secretly. It would be bad if people knew about it."

"It doesn't mean you have to join the Southern Blacksmith Camp. You just need to go and take a look." said another blacksmith.

"Yeah, yeah, just joining in the fun. Who said they wanted to join them?"

Although they said so, there was a clear sense of guilt in the eyes of several people.

Although the flow of people between the blacksmith camps was not prohibited, many people from the three major blacksmith camps in the east, west and north even came from the South Blacksmith Camp.

But the Southern Blacksmith Camp is in a weak position after all, and if they really want to join, they will inevitably be afraid of being laughed at.

Along the way, they encountered several waves of blacksmiths from other camps.

They briefly greeted each other and tacitly did not ask any further questions.

It wasn't until they approached the South Blacksmith Camp that they heard a noise.

They took a few quick steps, and then saw a scene that made them stay where they were.

There was a lot of noise at the gate of the South Blacksmith Camp.

It wasn't crowded, but it was already packed.

Blacksmith Qi brought a few apprentices and set up a table at the entrance of the camp. With nothing else to do, they just recorded who signed up and explained the rules of the election.

Even so, I am still very busy.

The main reason was that there were unexpectedly many people coming, at least two hundred if not three hundred, and each of them had a question, which was enough to make Qi the blacksmith exhausted.

Seeing Blacksmith Qi answering the question with a hoarse voice, the other blacksmiths who hadn't had the chance to come forward were a little confused.

Why are there so many people?
A blacksmith who had already registered was walking back when he was stopped by them.

"Master, why do so many people come here?"

The blacksmith from an unknown camp laughed and said, "You may not know yet, but the Foundry Department has issued an order to increase the silver for the Southern Blacksmith Camp. And the Construction Department is building a new house in there, it's wide and big, it's very nice."

Then the blacksmith said, "Also, Master Yuan Bingqi from the East Blacksmith Camp is the nephew of our Master Yuan Si, and has already joined the South Blacksmith Camp. If you come later, you might not even have a chance to sign up. Master Qi just said that only 200 people will be accepted for this registration, and then half will be taken."

Several old masters from the Northern Blacksmith Camp were stunned when they heard this. Increase in wages and building houses were all tangible and visible benefits.

The most important thing is, Yuan Bingqi actually joined the Southern Blacksmith Camp?
Among all the master craftsmen in the four major blacksmith camps, Yuan Bingqi is definitely the one with the best skills and the greatest fame.

Originally, during this year's regular test, everyone thought that he would definitely be the deputy engineer, but they didn't expect Zhao Yankui to show up halfway.

The deputy foreman was snatched away by the master craftsman of the Southern Blacksmith Camp, and then he turned around and joined here. It seems weird no matter how you think about it.

Could it be that Master Yuan already knew that there would be benefits to the Southern Blacksmith Camp and was doing him a favor?
But he is the deputy engineer, this favor is a bit too big.

The blacksmith whispered mysteriously, "Also, this year's top apprentice is Master Jiang Linjiang. I heard that everyone can get a high grade iron using the iron he made. Even the Nanling camp has to supply weapons from him. This Nanling Blacksmith Camp is going to be amazing in the future!"

Seeing several old masters from the Northern Blacksmith Camp looking shocked, the blacksmith finally left with satisfaction.

It doesn’t matter whether he can successfully join the Southern Blacksmith Camp. Anyway, he has registered. Now it feels good to see others so surprised that they can fit a fist in their mouths.

There was a continuous noisy voice in the distance. Several blacksmiths looked at each other, finally reacted, and ran forward in silence.

Sign up!

Must sign up! Increase in silver, build houses, everyone can enter the ranks, special supply of weapons for Nanling Camp, Yuan Bingqi joins...

Each one of them can attract people, and when all of them are added together, the attraction is outrageous.

Just because the blacksmiths have not been educated doesn't mean they don't understand the principles of the world.

The Southern Blacksmith Camp is currently in a weak stage. Joining it now is like providing timely assistance. Once they develop, it may not be easy for you to add icing on the cake.

Of course, this only represents the thoughts of a small number of blacksmiths. Even if most people know about it, they will just choose to wait and see, or even belittle those who want to sign up.

Isn't it just a slight increase in silver? At most it will be the same as what we have now, why bother to move places.

Besides, it only costs 100 for 200 people. It would be fine if they get in, but it would be so embarrassing if they can’t.

This kind of thinking has indeed led some blacksmiths to choose to just watch the fun and leave.

However, in just two days, it was very easy to gather the 200 places.

On the third day, the selection process began directly.

There is nothing too unusual about the idea. It is just like regular tests, sorting by efficiency and quality.

In the end, one hundred people happily joined the Southern Blacksmith Camp, and another hundred people left dejectedly and cursing.

Some even pointed at the gate of the South Blacksmith Camp and yelled, "Do you really think I have to come here? Even if I die, I will never come here again!"

This incident caused a sensation in the four major blacksmith camps, and stirred up quite a stir. In particular, the master chefs in each camp disliked the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

A group of people were poached out of the blue. Although it won't be a big deal compared to their huge staff base, it's disgusting!

The tall one can't beat the short one, what the hell is going on?

The addition of one hundred new people just filled the previous vacancies, making the blacksmith shop full, almost the same as before the Battle of Kyoto.

These blacksmiths who transferred from the other three battalions originally thought that Blacksmith Qi was the core.

It was only when I entered the blacksmith shop that I discovered that although the entire Southern Blacksmith Camp respected Qi the blacksmith, they were only slightly better than the ordinary old masters.

On the contrary, the young blacksmith who had just been hired as a regular employee was more respected.

Even Qi the blacksmith, when he went to talk to Jiang Lin, his attitude was surprisingly good.

"Master Jiang really found me a good job. You know what kind of life I've been living these days. My ears are noisy even in my dreams."

Blacksmith Qi complained, but when he glanced at the new blacksmiths, his face was full of smiles.

The arrival of fresh forces has brought vitality to the Southern Blacksmith Camp. As the interim master chef, how could he not be happy?

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "There will be more and more people in the future, and then you will be really busy."

"No, please. Now there are a total of 470 official blacksmiths and 235 apprentices in the South Blacksmith Camp. I'm already a bit overwhelmed. If there are more, I really don't know what to do." said Qi the Blacksmith.

Jiang Lin could see it, he was just talking.

Not to mention a mere few hundred blacksmiths, even if the number increased tenfold, Blacksmith Qi would only be happier.

Just then, a shout came from outside: "An order from the foundry department!"
