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

Chapter 216 Weapon Replacement
If someone brings this up, Jiang Lin will simply shirk responsibility because he knows they are all motivated by profit.

But Old Man Wei was different. Jiang Lin turned to look at him and said, "I'm still young, so there's no rush."

Old Man Wei didn't say anything else, and Jiang Lin thought that was the end of it.

After a while, Old Man Wei said quietly, "There are several old men of my age who have great-grandchildren. That's great, four generations living under one roof."

Jiang Lin turned his head again and saw Old Man Wei with his head lowered, pulling at the hem of his clothes.

She didn't look like a soldier from the frontier army, but rather like a young lady in distress.

Jiang Lin smiled, and suddenly put his arm around Old Man Wei's shoulders, smilingly saying, "If you ask me, I'd better find you a companion. I heard from Blacksmith Qi that his father and several uncles all have more than one wife. Don't worry, I have plenty of money now. How old do you want? I mean age."

Old Man Wei's face immediately turned red, and he pushed Jiang Lin away: "Go away, why are you talking like this!"

Jiang Lin has never been in love in this life, and neither has Old Man Wei.

As we get older, it seems that we become thinner-skinned.

Jiang Lin laughed loudly and teased relentlessly.

The picture of an old man and a young boy, accompanied by dim candlelight, looks so warm.

There is no such thing as an ordinary family in this world. As Qi the blacksmith said, if you are not a big shot who can decide other people's life and death, then you have to think about how to survive.

It is not easy to live, and it is even harder to live well.

……

The next day.

Jiang Lin continued to make weapons early in the morning. Three hundred pieces is not a small number.

He can now make more than ten pieces a day. At most, it will take him more than twenty days to complete the work.

Several other border army camps sent people to ask about weapons. Jiang Lin did not hide it and said he planned to exchange them for new weapons.

What's more, the people in the border army camp were not angry at all. On the contrary, they were quite happy about it.

The weapons made by Jiang Lin have become famous in the small circle.

It is not a precious weapon, but it is better than a precious weapon.

Especially the feather arrows with the effect of tarsal maggots, which first killed the deputy lord of Leiying Fort, who was at the peak of martial arts, with eight arrows, and then chased the murderer for thousands of miles, seriously injuring the personal guards of Yuanwu realm with seven arrows.

They saw this with their own eyes, they can't lie.

Who wouldn't want such a powerful weapon?

Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic about exchanging weapons.

Several lieutenant generals even came specially, saying that they wanted to buy some Tarsal Maggot Feather Arrows.

They did not dare to demand it forcefully. After all, the Southern Blacksmith Camp belonged to the Foundry Department, while Jiang Lin belonged to the Nanling Camp.

What's more, all the soldiers on the border knew that Marshal Yu had already taken an interest in the young blacksmith, and no one dared to force him to do anything, even if it was just a casual glance.

The border troops are just crazy, not stupid. They know what to do and what not to do.

There are still a lot of the monster eyes of the rotten bull that Liao Mingxu sent people to deliver last time, so it is no problem to make a few thousand feather arrows.

It’s just that this thing has a very strong smell, and secondly, Jiang Lin wanted to use the fake treasure weapon he made to exchange for those weapons with good material foundation.

After some discussion, they reached a decision with the military officers in the border army camp.

All weapons that have a base made of materials higher than pig iron, no matter what their current grade is, even if they have just entered the next level, can come to Jiang Lin to exchange for a higher level one.

Of course, it is limited to the top grade made of pig iron.

If you want to integrate the fake treasure weapons with the remains of monsters, you have to pay more. I won't let you add more, just one thousand taels of silver for each one.

When you think about it, it's not much different from directly buying a high-grade weapon. Even if it's a little more expensive, it's worth it!

For every weapon exchanged by each battalion, one would be given the opportunity to purchase five Tarsal Maggot Feather Arrows.

Each feather arrow is priced at one hundred taels of silver.

The price is of course expensive, but it's worth it if you're willing. If you have so much money, buy it. If you don't have money, don't say anything.

It is true that the border troops are our own people, but brothers should settle accounts clearly. Liao Mingxu has to give money, and naturally the others have to give more.

On that day, several border army camps delivered hundreds of weapons, including all those that had some good stuff added to them.

Some only add a very small amount of good materials, which is like taking advantage of the loopholes.

Jiang Lin didn't take it too seriously with them and continued to do the replacement as he had said before.

As a result, the number of weapons owed directly exceeded six hundred.

If you want to ask Jiang Lin to make weapons later, you will have to wait for one and a half to two months.

Despite this, there are still countless people who come to see him every day.

Although it is a blacksmith shop with only one person, it is more popular than a large shop with thousands of people.

In a few days, Qi the Blacksmith and others put up signs every day in the three major blacksmith camps in the east, west and north to recruit people. The number of people who signed up quickly exceeded one thousand, then fifteen hundred, and then two thousand.

This forced Qi the blacksmith to withdraw his men. It was not because he was afraid that the people in the other blacksmith camps would be dissatisfied, but if he continued to recruit, those camps would be left empty.

When he came back, Blacksmith Qi was still talking to Jiang Lin with a half-joyed and half-worried tone: "In this case, why not discuss with the Foundry Department and simply merge all the blacksmith camps, without any distinction between east, west, south and north."

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "The reason why it is divided into east, south, west and north is because there are too many people to manage. Even if it is merged now, it will eventually have to be divided into several parts. Otherwise, if you are asked to directly manage tens of thousands of people, can you handle it?"

Blacksmith Qi nodded after listening to this and thought that this was indeed the truth.

Of course, he didn't want to hold such great power, but he was just worried about how to accommodate the two or three thousand people who were about to join the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

The Construction Department did not build so many houses. If these people really came, they would probably have to sleep in the open air every day like the apprentices.

In addition, they spend the first half of the month in other blacksmith camps and the second half of the month in the Southern Blacksmith Camp. They don’t know how their salaries will be paid, who will pay them, and how much they will get.

The increased food costs caused by the increase in the number of people must be immediately asked from the Foundry Department for compensation.

As for the ironware, other blacksmith camps are unwilling to let the departing blacksmiths take away all the ironware.

It would take a while to gather enough iron tools for two or three thousand people.

There were so many things to do that even Qi the blacksmith felt his scalp tingling just thinking about them.

I used to think that the number of master craftsmen in the Southern Blacksmith Camp was a bit too many, but now it seems that there are too few, pitifully few.

If we add another twenty people, it would just be enough.

"We'll take our time with the ironware. Just give them the raw iron and let them make it themselves." Jiang Lin said, "Also, after the people arrive, they will be assessed by the last-place elimination system within a month. We'll eliminate 5% first."

"So soon?" Blacksmith Qi thought Jiang Lin would plan to do this next year.

"When a new official takes office, he or she must first establish rules. And when rules are established at this time, they are most likely to be accepted."

Jiang Lin paused and said, "The last-place elimination system will first target newcomers, including the first two batches. As for the old masters from the original South Blacksmith Camp, they can wait until next quarter to participate."
