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

Chapter 132 Who Dares to Disobey
Upon hearing this, Qi the Blacksmith immediately bowed and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master Jiang, you will soon become a master craftsman. In the past 400 years of our foundry, you are probably the fastest person to become a master craftsman, no doubt about it!"

Before Jiang Lin could say anything, Zhao Yankui muttered, "Master chef is nothing. In my opinion, Jiang Lin is qualified to be a chef directly."

Jiang Lin smiled faintly and said, "Master, you are wrong. The qualification of a master craftsman is not only based on skills, but also on seniority and prestige. Without these, no one will obey you even if you get promoted."

"With your skills, who would dare to disobey you?" Zhao Yangkui said.

"Of course you can spend some time, but it's not necessary. As a foreman, there are too many things to take care of, which will delay the blacksmithing." Jiang Lin said.

Zhao Yankui opened his mouth and wanted to say, I'm already a craftsman, why do I still want to be a blacksmith?

But then he thought that Jiang Lin was not an ordinary person.

In just three months, his skills have surpassed everyone in the entire foundry department, and even the master craftsman may not be as good as him.

With such talent, it would be a waste to manage affairs. You should build a magic weapon and become a saint like your ancestors did!

"Okay, you have your own plans, so I won't say much." Zhao Yankui said, "Don't forget to come to the Foundry Department in three days to select the master craftsman."

"I understand, Master."

Zhao Yangkui walked around the blacksmith shop again, chatted with his old brothers, and urged them to help Jiang Lin so that the South Blacksmith Camp would prosper.

The blacksmiths naturally agreed immediately, and they would have done the same without Zhao Yankui saying anything.

Everyone in the Southern Blacksmith Camp is full of energy and looking forward to improving their skills so that they can join the elite blacksmith team.

With the fourth-grade iron tools in their hands, those elite blacksmiths held their heads higher than the sky.

No one thought it was wrong, they were just envious and jealous.

After Zhao Yankui left, Qi the blacksmith immediately called a few people to arrange for the expansion of manpower.

We will publicize it within the Southern Blacksmith Camp first. There is no other intention, it is just to let them contact their old friends, especially those with high skills.

It would be best if they were all master chefs like Yuan Bingqi.

This is not an extravagant wish. Among the fifteen sets of fourth-grade ironware, only the Southern Blacksmith Camp has this treatment among the four major blacksmith camps.

Anyone who has a little pursuit of skills would want to get this kind of good thing, even a master chef.

If they don't come, it can only be said that the fourth-grade ironware cannot make them give up their current status and salary for the time being.

After all, once you come to the Southern Blacksmith Camp, no matter who you are, you have to start as an ordinary blacksmith.

The former glory and status no longer exist.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

What's more, the South Blacksmith Camp has only shown some improvement now, and has not yet become a true phoenix nest.

After the sign was completed, Qi the blacksmith hung it at the gate of the South Blacksmith Camp.

It reads: "All elite blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp will be rewarded with a set of middle-fourth-grade ironware."

"The reserve team consists of 40 people, and each of them will be awarded with an eighth-grade iron weapon."

Just these two points, simple yet very attractive.

All the blacksmiths passing by ran over to see the novelty and asked whether it was real or not.

I heard that there are more than a dozen elite blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, and each of them has a set of fourth-grade iron tools?

Several apprentices sat behind the table and responded with pride on their faces.

"Master Jiang from our Southern Blacksmith Camp can easily forge a mid-fourth-grade ironware. Master Jiang said that in the future, the elite blacksmiths will be given ironware of the upper third grade or above, and the mid-fourth-grade ironware will be relegated to the reserve team." "You'd better sign up now. The earlier you come, the better your chances. If you come late, it's hard to say."

"Why is it so hard to say? Masters, do you think that the fourth-grade ironware can't attract a master like Master Yuan Bingqi?"

Under normal circumstances, if the apprentice dared to speak like this, the old blacksmiths would have slapped him in the face.

But now, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Will we be able to use iron tools of grade three or above in the future?
They might not believe it if someone else said it, but this is the Southern Blacksmith Camp!
Jiang Lin's skill level is obvious to all.

An apprentice laughed and said, "Masters, you may not know this, but Master Jiang has not only made more than a dozen sets of middle-fourth-grade iron tools these days, but he has also made more than a dozen upper-second-grade and even upper-first-grade weapons for the military officers of the Nanling Camp!"

When the blacksmiths heard this, they were all furious.

A top-grade weapon?
In the entire foundry department, only the master craftsman might have a chance to make it, but no one has seen it yet.

But Jiang Lin had already created a top-grade weapon.

Moreover, it was fought for the border troops in the Nanling camp, so there was no way it could be fake.

In the entire Daqian, no one dared to lie in the name of the border army. If they were caught, beheading would be the lightest punishment.

"I'll sign up!" a blacksmith said immediately.

The person next to him hesitated and said, "Master Qin, isn't this a bit reckless? What if..."

"What do you mean by ten thousand? Not to mention the top grade, even if it's the fourth grade, who among you has ever used it?"

Master Qin signed his name without saying anything and snorted, "I've been in the West Blacksmith Camp for so many years, and I believe my skills are no less than others. It's just that those masters have more experience, and we can't match their skills. But now that I'm in the South Blacksmith Camp, everyone is the same, so I may have a chance!"

"I want this fourth-grade iron weapon!"

After Master Qin finished his passionate speech, the other people were also moved.

Except for one master who did not sign up because he thought his skills were not good enough and had no hope of joining the elite blacksmith team, the rest were very happy to do so.

No matter what the final result is, as the saying goes, try your best to see if there is any result.

What if it happens?
This scene is just a small episode.

As more and more people passed by, the news that the South Blacksmith Camp was going to start a second round of expansion of staff quickly spread to several other blacksmith camps.

Knowing that the elite blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp have begun using fourth-grade iron tools, not only ordinary blacksmiths but even the master blacksmiths from other camps were very interested.

Of course, there are also people who criticize the Southern Blacksmith Camp for grandstanding and poaching people by relying on interests, which is despicable!

But few people agree with this statement. Benefits?
It is understandable that a blacksmith wants good ironware, just as it is understandable that a military officer wants good weapons.

You don't have it, but others do. How can you say it's despicable? You should say that you are not as skilled as others.

In the East Blacksmith Camp, a master chef looked at the man next to him and said, "Master Song, we must stick to our original intentions. The East Blacksmith Camp is our mother's home. A son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty. We can't be like Yuan Bingqi who is so disloyal!"

"Of course, of course." Master Song, with a beard, nodded repeatedly, assuring that he would never be greedy for any fourth-grade ironware.

He just turned his head, but his eyes were flickering.

We are not greedy for the middle fourth grade, but I heard that the elite blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp will have the highest grade ironware in the future!

Well, let’s go back and find out the truth. This is all for the sake of the East Blacksmith Camp!
