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

Chapter 229 Give him an official position
An experiment on a mid-grade spiritual weapon arrowhead pushed Jiang Lin's reputation in the Southern Blacksmith Camp to the peak.

No matter whether they were senior masters or new masters or apprentices, they all respected him like a god.

If someone had previously spread the news that Jiang Lin was the reincarnation of the founder, he would have been criticized for talking nonsense, but now, at least half of the people are convinced.

If the ancestor had not been reincarnated, how could he have such great power that shocks the world and makes ghosts weep.

Although he doesn’t have the secret recipe for precious weapons, he can break through the limits of ordinary weapons and even create mid-grade spiritual weapons!

Even the means of fusion forging are beyond imagination.

It's fine to hammer pig iron and black crystal iron together using the steel pouring method, but now the fragments of mid-grade treasure weapons and high-grade spiritual weapons are also melted together. Is this something a human can do?

When even Yu Maoming heard about this, he came with several deputy engineers and was stunned.

Yu Sijiang, who only wanted to make life better for the blacksmiths, suddenly felt sad when he looked at Jiang Lin.

He worked hard all his life and was not afraid to make enemies with the steward, just to protect the bottom line of the blacksmith camp and prevent the blacksmiths, who were already living a hard life, from being disturbed by other things.

But after working hard for most of my life, I'm afraid that this arrow from Jiang Lin is not as powerful as this one.

With this arrow, who would dare to underestimate the Blacksmith Camp?
Yu Maoming walked up to Jiang Lin, hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "Do you want to tell the border troops that you can forge a mid-grade spiritual weapon?"

Jiang Lin saw that he had other intentions, and asked, "What do you mean, Master Craftsman?"

Yu Maoming showed some hesitation, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am a little selfish. Even if you want to say it, please wait."

A foreman spoke to the master blacksmith in the blacksmith camp, but he used the word "please".

Jiang Lin realized the seriousness of this, but was a little puzzled: "Master Craftsman, can you tell me why?"

Yu Maoming sighed and said, "If this news gets out, this place will definitely be surrounded by soldiers, and you will never have a peaceful life again. By then, even if the soldiers on the border don't assign you any work, do you think the Ministry of War will let you go?"

"Right now, the Southern Blacksmith Camp is at a critical juncture of prosperity. If we attract too much attention at this moment, I'm afraid people will be uneasy. So, let's wait and see. It will be good for the Blacksmith Camp."

Yu Maoming did not make his words very clear, but Jiang Lin knew that the so-called too much attention actually referred to himself, but the entire blacksmith camp.

He could also imagine that this news would definitely attract many military officers.

Just like Liao Mingxu did before, when he asked you for hundreds of feather arrows, could you refuse to give them to him?
They are not using military orders to pressure you, and they are willing to pay the money.

Unless you intend to fall out with these military officers, you have no choice but to agree.

In fact, these were not what Yu Maoming was worried about. What he was really worried about was whether Jiang Lin would be directly transferred away after the news spread that he could forge mid-grade spiritual weapons.

At the moment, the Nanling camp has no intention of ending its rest and returning to the border, but there is no guarantee that the officials in the Ministry of War will not issue a transfer order and directly send Jiang Lin to go first.

You know, the weapons supplied by the four major blacksmith camps in Kyoto are only basic guarantees.

On the border, there are more blacksmiths working all the time to provide necessary weapons for tens of millions of border troops.

It would be a shame not to send away a rare and talented blacksmith like Jiang Lin.

No dynasty cared about border troops more than Daqian.

Because as long as the border troops are still there, the hinterland of Daqian will always be safe and secure, and the territory will continue to expand outward.

Once Jiang Lin is gone, the Foundry will be the same as before, with no possibility of rising again.

As for whether Jiang Lin could stay and lead the Foundry Department, or the Blacksmith Camp to rise and regain the lost glory, Yu Maoming could not guarantee it.

He just thought that even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, he should still give it a try.

After all, it is not easy for such a person to come out of the Blacksmith Camp. As long as Jiang Lin obtains a high enough status before leaving the Blacksmith Camp, the status of the Foundry Department in the 48 Departments of Daqian will naturally rise.

Yu Maoming added: "I know that if this matter is really suppressed, you will be wronged. So just tell me what the Casting Department can give, and I will go to the Secretary to ask for it."

Jiang Lin didn't say anything pretentiously, saying that he didn't feel wronged and didn't need any benefits.

Since Yu Maoming took the initiative to ask this, he said: "I don't know what I can ask for. I'd like to ask the master craftsman to make the decision. Send me whatever you think I can use."

Yu Maoming's heart trembled when he heard this, thinking that if you talk like this, I'm afraid I will have to completely empty the entire foundry company.

Although I feel sad, but when I think about it, it is not a loss if I can keep Jiang Lin for a while longer.

"Okay! Then I'll go back right away, even if it means moving the foundry's warehouse here!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Craftsman." Jiang Lin said politely.

After returning to the Foundry Department, Yu Maoming walked directly into the room of Yan Tianrong, the clerk.

Yan Tianrong looked up and saw that his expression was so serious, and couldn't help wondering: "Why does Yu Sijiang look like this? What happened?"

"Master Jiang Linjiang has created a mid-grade spiritual weapon." Yu Maoming said, "I have personally gone to confirm this!"

Yan Tianrong's body trembled violently. Although he was not a military officer, he was still a clerk in the Foundry Department. Naturally, he understood what a mid-grade spiritual weapon represented.

Only generals have the opportunity to obtain weapons of this level.

Yu Maoming bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Master, I have an unwelcome request."

Yan Tianrong took a deep breath and said, "You say."

"I want to get a rank for Master Jiang. I hope you can help me no matter what," said Yu Maoming.

Yan Tianrong was stunned. Seeking a rank?

It’s not about money, nor about position, but about rank!

"You mean, let him serve as an official in the court?" Yan Tianrong asked.

"He may not necessarily have to enter the court, but this man is extremely gifted, just like the founder of the dynasty. If one day he can become a high-ranking official in the court, will you still worry that the Foundry has no future?" Yu Maoming said.

Yan Tianrong was a little stunned after hearing this. Jiang Lin became a high-ranking official in the current dynasty?

He had never thought about such a thing.

"But he is only a blacksmith..."

Yu Maoming said: "When Daqian was first established, the founder was also a blacksmith, but he was a first-rank duke of the dynasty, with an extraordinary status. What the founder can do, Jiang Lin may not be unable to do."

Yan Tianrong had an extremely complicated expression. It was the first time he heard Yu Maoming praise someone in such an exaggerated way.

If he didn't know that Jiang Lin was really powerful, he would have thought that Yu Maoming was crazy.

Can a blacksmith who has just been in the blacksmith camp for half a year become a top official in the future?
But thinking about what Jiang Lin had done, for some reason, Yan Tianrong suddenly felt that it was not completely impossible.

Just as Yu Maoming said, what the ancestors of blacksmiths can do, future generations may also be able to do.
