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

Chapter 215: Standing at your door to dig your people

Jiang Lin obviously couldn't use up all the thirty or so pieces of pig iron.

Ring the bell and an apprentice will come and take the extra pig iron for others to use.

Under various amplification effects, the pig iron burned by Jiang Lin can easily be used by even the most ordinary blacksmith to forge weapons of the fifth grade!

If the skills are better, it is not impossible to reach the fourth level.

To these blacksmiths, being almost at the threshold of producing top-grade weapons is a matter of immense honor.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lin could only provide a limited amount of pig iron each time, which was not enough for the elite blacksmiths alone, let alone others.

The blacksmiths who failed to join the elite team can only forge low-grade weapons at best, and this is based on the premise that they have iron tools of the fifth grade or above.

Without this grade of ironware, it would still be just ordinary, common standard weapons.

This makes many blacksmiths look forward to entering the elite team, even if it is just the reserve team.

Everyone knows that being able to forge low-quality or medium-quality weapons does not depend on personal ability.

In other words, personal ability only played a small part, and more of it was because of Jiang Lin's help.

Without the iron he burned, I would never have the chance to forge such a high-quality weapon even if I practiced for another hundred years.

……

At the gate of the East Blacksmith Camp, several master craftsmen stared at the gate with gnashing teeth, cursing under their breath, but did not dare to step forward.

Blacksmith Qi and his men sat behind the table, with a sign next to them that read "Recruiting blacksmiths."

At first, these master craftsmen from the East Blacksmith Camp wanted to come over and overturn the table, but when Blacksmith Qi took out the documents from the Ministry of Works, they immediately dared not say a word.

Seeing those unhappy faces, Qi the blacksmith felt very happy and shouted happily to the blacksmiths around who were watching the fun.

"Join our Southern Blacksmith Camp and enjoy delicious food and spicy drinks!"

"Have you seen the document from the Ministry of Works? Among the four major blacksmith camps, our Southern Blacksmith Camp is the only one!"

"You only think that first-grade ironware is rare, but you don't know that in the future, everyone in the Southern Blacksmith Camp will have a set of mid-grade ironware!"

"It's nice to lean on a big tree for shade. You have to think carefully whether you want to live a mediocre life or come to our Southern Blacksmith Camp to try your luck!"

After hearing these words, many people were moved.

Regardless of whether it is true that everyone will have a set of medium-quality ironware in the future, at least the documents from the Ministry of Works cannot be false.

No matter how courageous the Southern Blacksmith Camp is, they cannot fool people over such a matter that could cost them their lives.

The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.

Many people were already interested in the Southern Blacksmith Camp. Now Blacksmith Qi was praising it, and many people had heard through various channels and relationships that the Foundry Department had given the Southern Blacksmith Camp a lot of benefits.

Whether it is the blacksmithing environment, living conditions, or salary, it is slightly higher than the other three blacksmith camps, and may continue to increase in the future.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. This is human nature.

If they were concerned about their reputation in the past, or afraid of being laughed at for being greedy for profit, now that the documents from the Ministry of Works have been taken out, no one thinks so anymore.

The significance of that document is that this job change is just following orders.

Who dares to disobey the orders of the Ministry of Works?

Such a legitimate reason should not be wasted.

At one time, at least several hundred people from the East Blacksmith Camp came to sign up, and some who were originally on the sidelines were now ready to take action.

When several master craftsmen from the Eastern Blacksmith Camp saw this scene, they felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that the situation was irreversible.

Not to mention ordinary blacksmiths, even they who have been cursing here for a long time, whether they actually have some intention or not, only they themselves know.

The same thing happened in the western and northern blacksmith camps. The rise of the southern blacksmith camp was unstoppable.

Qi the Blacksmith and his companions did not return to the South Blacksmith Camp until long after nightfall.

They went straight to Jiang Lin's room, knocked on the door, and said cheerfully, "Master Jiang, I have accomplished your mission and gained a lot today!"

"It feels so good to go to those stores and put up signs to recruit people! It feels even better to see some people being angry but not saying anything!"

Seeing the happy faces of Qi the Blacksmith and the others, Jiang Lin said with a smile: "As long as it goes well, this matter is still very important to our Southern Blacksmith Camp. After all, the Ministry of Industry only gave us one year."

"I think a year is too long. It will only take a month at most." said Qi the blacksmith.

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "Although this expansion will only include the simplest skill test, a last-place elimination system will be established afterwards."

"The last-in-first-out system?" Qi the blacksmith and the others were stunned and confused.

"First, we need to recruit everyone, and then conduct a skill test every season. Those who fail to pass the skill test will be fired directly, and those who pass the skill test will be comprehensively evaluated based on their daily contributions. The bottom 5% will be eliminated and sent back to their original blacksmith camp."

After a simple explanation, Qi the blacksmith and others understood.

They were surprised that there was such a system.

But if you think about it carefully, this can increase the speed of expansion while preventing those who want to take advantage of the situation.

You can only stick around for three months. If your contribution is insufficient, you will be kicked out.

Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but say, "If I'm eliminated last and sent back to my original blacksmith camp, that would be such a disgrace."

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "We need to make them feel ashamed so as to stimulate their sense of honor and disgrace. The Southern Blacksmith Camp is not a place for retirement. We need masters who are truly willing to work."

"That makes sense. Let's do it this way! Do we need to write this on the recruitment sign?" asked Blacksmith Qi.

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "I won't write it for now. As I said before, first catch all the fish in one go, and then slowly pick them out. If you gut the fish as soon as they come up, the fish will be scared away."

Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but look strange when he heard this. He had known that Jiang Lin was smart and scheming, but he didn't expect that he was so experienced.

He has considered everything very carefully. I just need to do what he says and don't have to think about anything else.

Blacksmith Qi sighed: "The Southern Blacksmith Camp is lucky to have Master Jiang here, otherwise there would be no future for us!"

This is both praise and compliment.

Jiang Lin was already used to it, so he just smiled and said nothing more.

Qi the blacksmith and the others did not bother them any further and just bowed and said goodbye and left.

After a tiring day, they also need to rest.

After closing the door, Jiang Lin went back to the room and squatted in front of Old Man Wei. He put his hands in the basin of boiling water and continued to rub his feet.

Old Man Wei seemed not to be used to such care. He wanted to pull his foot back, but was reluctant to do so.

After sitting awkwardly for a while, he said, "Think about it, you have just arrived at the Blacksmith Camp, and you have changed a lot."

This was pure conversation. Jiang Lin took a towel to wipe his feet, looked at his lame right leg, and said, "It doesn't matter whether the change is big or not, but you still have to think of a way to treat your leg. Next time I have a chance to see Yu Shuai, I'll ask him if he has any medicine to treat his leg."

Jiang Lin promised Old Man Wei that one day he would help cure his lame leg.

Old Man Wei was not surprised that he always remembered this promise, and said: "It's just a small matter, why bother Yu Shuai, I'm used to it."

"Habits don't necessarily mean they're good." Jiang Lin wiped his legs and feet clean, then sat down beside him, took off his shoes and put his feet in the basin of water.

The still boiling hot water made him feel comfortable all over. He leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, and looked very enjoyable.

Old man Wei turned his head and looked at him, and suddenly said in an inexplicable way: "I'll find you a good daughter someday, so you can get married soon."
