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

Chapter 281 Four Rewards (Additional Chapter 5 for Guo Jiuxing Silver Alliance)

The soldiers were familiar with the official uniform of a fifth-rank doctor, even though they belonged to the border army and were not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works.

However, the gap between their ranks was huge, so they had to give each other some face, even if it was just superficial politeness.

The most important thing is, did the fifth-rank doctor come to give Jiang Lin a gift, or did he come to his house in person?
Why?
Not to mention them, the old couple Jiang Qingguang, and Wang Hua and Jiang Xiu were also equally surprised and puzzled.

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but look at Jiang Lin and asked curiously, "Brother, what gift are they giving?"

Jiang Lin didn't expect the Ministry of Industry to act so quickly.

I just got back and the gift has already been delivered. Could it have been waiting for me in the South Blacksmith Camp?

He explained in a low voice: "I have made some contributions on the frontier, and this should be my reward."

At this time, Yang Junchi had already come close, but he took the initiative to salute: "Lord Jiang is brave and has made great contributions, which makes me feel ashamed. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth..."

Jiang Lin felt a little embarrassed after hearing all the compliments.

Several soldiers nearby could not help but ask, "Sir, may I ask what merits Lord Jiang has made? It's so great that a fifth-rank official like you has to come and congratulate him in person."

Yang Junchi glanced at them, laughed, and said, "You should be the newcomers to the Zhenshuo Camp, right? Since you are from the border army, don't you know that Lord Jiang Yu and Marshal Yu joined forces to kill fourteen mountain masters of Xuanhua Dao and hundreds of Yuanwu Realm disciples with one sword, and with the help of my Gongbu's Broken Gold Thunder, he killed hundreds of thousands of Dachen soldiers in one fell swoop?"

Wang Hua, Jiang Xiu and others didn't know much about the war, and they had no idea what the Lord of Xuanhua Dao Mountain represented.

But they could more or less understand what it meant to kill hundreds of thousands of Da Chen soldiers in one fell swoop.

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but cover her mouth and looked at Jiang Lin in surprise.

How could this little brother be so powerful?

The reactions of those sergeants were much more radical than hers.

The previous "rebellion" of Xuanhua Dao was caused by this group of border troops. They knew very well how powerful the mountain master was. They were all masters of the Xuanwu realm, which was equal to the Shenwu realm.

Moreover, his Taoism is profound, he is at the third level of Xuanwu realm, and it is no problem for him to counterattack and kill a fourth level of Shenwu realm.

Jiang Lin killed fourteen of these people with one sword?
Although we are joining forces with Marshal Yu, don't forget that there are still hundreds of Yuanwu realm disciples from Xuanhua Dao.

This record is indeed a bit exaggerated.

In comparison, the hundreds of thousands of Da Chen troops seemed ordinary.

“How is it possible? As far as I know, every mountain master of Xuanhua Dao is comparable to the Divine Martial Realm and is not a weakling. Even Marshal Yu cannot kill so many mountain masters with one sword.” A soldier questioned.

"You think it's impossible, but that's just your feeling. This is the fact. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of War to inquire and you will know the truth." Yang Junchi said.

"Of course we will go!" the soldiers said in unison.

Although this matter was questionable, it made them very excited.

Everyone knows the relationship between Jiang Lin and the border troops. If this is true, doesn’t it mean that there is a great master in their Zhenshuo camp who is more powerful than the Divine Martial Realm!

Moreover, this great master can also create precious weapons!
All members of the Nanling camp were of the fourth rank, which was quite shocking on the battlefield. Almost all the lieutenant generals and generals of the border army camps were asking where these weapons came from and why they didn't have them.

Some bad-tempered lieutenant generals and generals even went straight to cause trouble for the logistics armory, making the armory officials miserable.

Although they have a lot of good weapons, they are not enough to replace the entire battalion!

Jiang Lin quickly said, "Lord Yang, this is exaggerated. Marshal Yu is the main force. I am just assisting from the side."

"Alas, Lord Jiang is too modest." Yang Junchi said, "The clerk of the Qiqiao Department, Ding Chengyun, has come back to report the matter. Marshal Yu only provided Lord Jiang with a cultivation blessing. The real credit is Lord Jiang's swordsmanship that the two marshals praised. What is it called? Shattering the Sky? Yes, Shattering the Sky! It is so amazing that it can shake the world and make ghosts cry! Killing fourteen mountain masters with one sword is rare in the world and will never happen again in the ages!"

Seeing Yang Junchi start to flatter him again, Jiang Lin hurriedly said, "Master Yang, you are too polite. This is my sister, brother-in-law, and my parents. This is Master Yang, the doctor of the Ministry of Works. He has been very helpful to me."

The whole family hurried forward to greet and salute. As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. If it weren't for Jiang Lin, Yang Junchi probably wouldn't even look at these common people.

But he was a relative of Jiang Lin, so not only him, but even the Minister Si Hongwen would have to be polite to him if he came.

The main reason is that Jiang Lin’s contribution this time was so great and he was appreciated by the two marshals.

After Ding Chengyun returned, he told the Ministry of Works that General Ling had promised him a second-rank general, and the Ministry of Works immediately went into an uproar.

The Minister of the Chancellery, Sun Zhongyun, was so angry that he cursed his mother.

Bian Jun is such a piece of shit. He spent a lot of money and finally traded Jiang Lin from Yu Shuai, but now Ling Shuai shows up and wants to snatch him away?

Or you are trying to win him over by offering him the position of a second-rank general. Is the general of your border army so worthless?
Unfortunately, there are not many second-rank officials in the Ministry of Works, and each one is assigned to a specific position. Even if he wanted to throw one out to suppress the arrogance of the border troops, he couldn't do it.

There was no other way, so Sun Zhongyun asked Si Hongwen to deal with Jiang Lin no matter what.

If Jiang Lin is really recruited back to the border army, you can quit your job as a minister and go find a place to guard a pond.

Of course, this was just an angry remark, but it also proved that the Shangshu valued Jiang Lin.

Even if Jiang Lin may not be able to help His Majesty solve problems as he wished in the future, he is so young and has such skills and abilities, how can he be let go so easily?

Their Ministry of Works has always lacked experts, and anyone with some skills has been snatched away to the border army. So Si Hongwen asked Yang Junchi to take the good stuff and guard the South Blacksmith Camp.

As soon as Jiang Lin comes back, he must be given a valuable gift as soon as possible!

"Mr. Shangshu and Mr. Shilang, both know that Mr. Jiang likes materials. So the first reward I was ordered to bring is mainly various materials."

As Yang Junchi spoke, he ordered people to open the box.

The first five boxes were filled with various materials, most of which Jiang Lin had never seen before, totaling fifty or sixty kinds.

Moreover, the quality of each material is not low, and at least it is slightly higher than the black crystal iron.

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang." Jiang Lin said.

"It's not over yet." Yang Junchi smiled and ordered his men to open several other boxes, revealing the boxes filled with the remains of monsters.

"From the lowest third grade to the highest fifth grade, there is only space left for forging. Is Lord Jiang satisfied with this second reward?" Yang Junchi asked.

Four boxes, eight monsters.

Although the quantity is small, the high quality makes up for it.

Jiang Lin had just nodded and had no time to say anything when Yang Junchi had the last few boxes opened, revealing the gold and silver inside.

"This is 10,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver. It is the third reward from the Ministry of Works." Yang Junchi said.

Jiang Qingguang, Jiang Xiu and others were dumbfounded.

What kind of material? It’s the remains of a monster. They are not blacksmiths and don’t know the specific value.

But for things like gold and silver, you can tell how much there is just by hearing the number.

Ten thousand taels of gold and five hundred thousand taels of silver may not be much in Jiang Lin's eyes, but in the hearts of ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure that cannot be imagined.

If an ordinary family had one thousand taels of silver, they could guarantee that they would not starve to death in this life.

If you have ten thousand taels, that would be a good life.

The reward Jiang Lin received at one time was enough to allow fifty families to live a good life.

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but grab Wang Hua's arm, digging her nails into it: "I, I'm not dreaming, am I? I actually got so many rewards?"

Wang Hua was so shocked that he was speechless. He worked so hard as a blacksmith, and it was considered good if he could earn a few dozen taels of silver in a year.

As a result, Jiang Lin went to the border for less than a month, and when he came back he got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which was more than he could earn in several lifetimes.

Even the soldiers looked on with envy. The border troops received a lot of salary, the highest among all the official positions in Daqian.

A third-rank lieutenant general can get nearly two thousand taels of salary a month, which means he can get up to two or three thousand taels a year.

But five hundred thousand taels was equal to the salary of a lieutenant general for twenty years, which was not a small amount.

At this time, Yang Junchi smiled and said, "There is a fourth gift. The Minister has ordered that Lord Jiang has made great contributions this time and should be promoted to the fifth-rank doctor and enjoy the fourth-rank salary. Lord Jiang, you have to go to the Ministry of Works in person to receive this gift. The Minister and the Vice Minister are waiting there."

Jiang Xiu had been suffocating himself to the point where he could hardly breathe, and Lord Yang asked, "What rank do you want me to be promoted to?"

Fifth grade?

She just felt her head buzzing. How big is the fifth grade?
The highest official I had heard of before was only a ninth-rank county magistrate, and I had never seen him in person.

As a result, I worked as an apprentice in the blacksmith camp for a few months, and when I returned I became a ninth-rank official.

Then came the eighth grade, the seventh grade, and now it has directly become the fifth grade!
This official was so high-ranking that Jiang Xiu pinched the flesh on her arms desperately, wondering if she was still dreaming.

Wang Hua grimaced as she pinched him, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

The scene in front of him was too scary. He had a brother-in-law who was a fifth-rank official.

Oh my God, my Wang family has finally made some progress. I’m afraid the smoke from our ancestral graves has already reached the sky!
As for the old couple Jiang Qingguang, they were speechless. They supported each other and trembled all over.

If Jiang Lin hadn't given them the Four Health Pills some time ago, they would have probably fainted on the spot due to excitement.

The soldiers standing by were stunned. They had heard of Jiang Lin, but only knew that he was an official of the eighth or seventh rank.

As a result, it has now jumped directly to the fifth level...

Is it so easy to get promoted in the Ministry of Industry?
But on second thought, if he could kill fourteen Xuanhua Dao Mountain Masters with one sword, it would probably be faster than Jiang Linsheng, and becoming a third-rank lieutenant general would only take a few minutes.

Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but curl their lips and said, "The Ministry of Works is really stingy. Sir Jiang has made such great contributions, but he only gave him a fifth-rank official? Sir Jiang, why don't you come to our Zhenshuo Camp? As long as you say a word, we will tie up the lieutenant general and throw him into the woods when we go back, and promote you to be a lieutenant general."

This was of course a joke. It was impossible to tie up the lieutenant general and throw him into the woods to fend for himself. However, it was not surprising that the lieutenant general tied himself up and voluntarily gave up his position to Jiang Lin, willingly demoting himself to the rank of a commander.

Whoever can kill fourteen Divine Martial Realm warriors with one sword and is willing to stay in the main camp, which lieutenant general would not happily give up his position?
