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

Chapter 241: Just a few words of scolding

Both are of the eighth rank, and the stewards and monitors are similar.

However, the difference of one word makes a huge difference.

When Yang Junchi came, he made it very clear to Yan Tianrong.

The Sijian is a department that supervises all affairs and people involved.

To put it simply, the supervisor has absolute power. If you are told to do something, you'd better do it quickly. If you are told not to do something, you'd better not have any second thoughts.

Originally Yan Tianrong was the head of the Foundry Department, but now he has to be ranked second.

Especially when such a young man, who was just an ordinary blacksmith not long ago, sits on your head, anyone would feel uncomfortable or unaccustomed.

But Yan Tianrong would not feel resentful because of this discomfort.

He knew better than anyone that the eighth rank was far from Jiang Lin's limit.

No matter whether it is a middle-grade spiritual weapon or the seventh grade of Yuanwu Realm, they all represent the identity and status of this young blacksmith. In the future, he will definitely be far superior to everyone else.

Even the current fifth-rank doctors will most likely be left behind.

So the smile on Yan Tianrong's face was sincere and enthusiastic.

Jiang Lin will be promoted sooner or later, and it may not take long. I must take advantage of this opportunity and hold on to this thigh tightly!
Wasn't it all for this that I ran to the Ministry of Works to find my mentor and the Minister at night?

Jiang Lin didn't expect that the Ministry of Industry would be so efficient.

As soon as I gave a notice here, someone came down there to promote me. It seemed like everything had been prepared.

However, considering the reaction of the border troops, Jiang Lin still reminded: "The Nanling camp has also known the news of my breakthrough. I'm afraid they have already gone to the Ministry of War. Sir Yang, what do you think..."

Yang Junchi's old face was wrinkled with a smile. "Don't panic, Lord Jiang. The Ministry of Works will naturally support us. Even the Ministry of War cannot just kidnap people from our Ministry of Works."

Jiang Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or not. Couldn’t he?

Given the style of the border troops, there is probably nothing they dare not do, it's just a matter of whether they want to or not.

Forget it. This was a bit unfair of mine. If the Ministry of Industry really can't win the fight, then let it go. At most, I'll pay more attention to safety in the future and run away when the timing is not right.

What Yang Junchi brought was not only documents, but also formal official uniforms, belts, jade plaques, letters of credit, etc.

With these, Jiang Lin was able to truly enter the power field of the ninth rank and eighteenth level of Daqian.

In addition, Yang Junchi also brought a lot of silver, gifts and the like, saying that his colleagues from the Ministry of Works had asked him to send them.

It goes without saying that this was all instructed by the bigwigs above, and they just wanted to tell Jiang Lin.

What the Border Army can give you, we can give you too.

What the border troops can't give, we can give!

"Thank you, Lord Yang." Jiang Lin said.

"Hey, why thank me? If you want to thank someone, you should thank the Minister and the Vice Minister. They have high hopes for Lord Jiang." Yang Junchi smiled and bowed, "I should have congratulated you more, but the Ministry of Works is busy and I have to go back to deal with urgent matters. When Lord Jiang is free tomorrow, I will host a banquet and drink three cups with him no matter what!"

"No problem." Jiang Lin bowed and said goodbye.

After watching Yang Junchi leave, Qi the blacksmith and others came over and excitedly congratulated and complimented him.

If people felt awkward calling him "Lord Jiang" before, now it comes out naturally and naturally.

There is a huge gap between the ninth rank and the eighth rank, and many people may not be able to cross the limit of this ladder in their entire life.

Jiang Lin was promoted three levels in a short time. As for whether he had made any meritorious service or not, even a fool would know that it was just a gimmick of the Ministry of Industry.

Even if Jiang Lin lies down and sleeps every day, he can still find a reason for promotion.

"If you can be promoted a few levels, even the Ministry of War will not be able to recruit you casually." said Qi the Blacksmith.

Jiang Lin nodded, that was indeed the case.

The eighth grade is still not high enough. If there is a fifth grade or above, then it will be stable.

However, there is a gap of six grades between the eighth grade and the fifth grade. Even if you want to upgrade three levels in a row, it will take two times.

At the entrance of the Ministry of Industry, Qi Hongwu, Liao Mingxu, and a dozen people stood there with gloomy faces. He shouted, "Ministry of Industry, get out here!"

The Minister of Works, Si Hongwen, had expected this, and came out to greet him, smiling and bowing, "General Qi, why are you so angry that you come to the entrance of my Works Department to yell at me?"

"Scold?" Qi Hongwu said coldly, "It has always been our border troops that rob others, and no one has ever dared to rob the border troops. You people in the Ministry of Industry are so bold that you dare to do anything. Do you really think that the border troops are made of mud?"

Liao Mingxu came to the Ministry of War and went straight to Qi Hongwu. The second-rank general immediately brought people to settle the score.

Si Hongwen was not afraid at all, still smiling, and said: "Master Qi, you are joking. When has the Ministry of Works ever snatched people from the border army? Besides, the border army is good at conquering, while the Ministry of Works is good at geomancy and construction. Even if they snatched them, they would be useless."

"No place for his talents? What about Jiang Lin? Is he useless too? In this case, the Ministry of Works should stop targeting him!" Qi Hongwu said.

"Jiang Lin?" Si Hongwen pretended to think, and then he seemed to remember something: "General Qi is talking about the blacksmith in the Foundry Department, right? What a misunderstanding. This man has made many contributions, and the Foundry Department has repeatedly reported him, so he was reluctantly given a small official position. Besides, this man is still under the command of the Foundry Department and is originally from the Ministry of Works. How could he rob your border troops?"

Liao Mingxu cursed out loud: "Don't play dumb, old man! Jiang Lin has long been on the roster of my Nanling camp and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Works. If you keep playing dumb, I'll chop you up!"

Si Hongwen subconsciously took a step back. These reckless soldiers on the border said they were going to kill people. They were not kidding.

Even though he was a second-rank minister, higher in rank than Liao Mingxu, he did not want to risk his head.

However, Si Hongwen was confident in his heart, and even though he stepped back to avoid the attack, he still did not back down.

"Daqian has been established for 400 years, and it has always been the policy that whoever is in the country will be in charge. If the border troops really want this person, the Nanling camp should leave immediately, and my Ministry of Works will definitely release him. But I heard that the Nanling camp will take several months to rest and recuperate, am I right?"

"Take a break, old man..."

Liao Mingxu was about to draw his sword and step forward. Si Hongwen was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back and almost found someone to stand in front of him.

However, Qi Hongwu pulled Liao Mingxu back.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

Qi Hongwu shook his head slightly, then stared at Si Hongwen with a cold look: "My border troops have taken note of this matter, my Excellency the Minister, please don't let us catch you on the spot."

Only the border troops could threaten a second-rank official in person.

After saying this harsh remark, Qi Hongwu did nothing but took Liao Mingxu away, which was not in line with the style of the border army.

Even Liao Mingxu couldn't figure it out, and said anxiously: "General, how can you just leave like this? You have to chop off a few of their heads!"

Qi Hongwu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Shut up. We need to think about this matter carefully. We can't be impatient."

Liao Mingxu was stunned. Let’s take a long-term view?

When will the border troops start to take a long-term view?
What happened to the general? It’s like he has suddenly become a different person.
