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

Chapter 298: Promoted Again
"In this world..." Jiang Lin stared at the boxing moves in the information for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tian Daheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Could it be that Lord Jiang had realized something again?

It’s no wonder that Tian Daheng knows more about Jiang Lin’s breakthrough than anyone else.

After a while, Jiang Lin took action.

He put down the boxing secret book and picked up another one to continue reading.

Tian Daheng felt inexplicably relieved and stood obediently by the side waiting to be served.

Not long after, Jiang Lin finished reading all the martial arts secrets, then he stood up and stretched.

Tian Daheng has become accustomed to the way he flips through the secret book so quickly, even though others think it is completely useless and no one can find any clues by flipping through it so quickly.

But Tian Daheng knew very well that Lord Jiang's talent was incomparable to ordinary people. Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean Lord Jiang couldn't do it.

I still remember the first time we met, that young boy standing in the blacksmith shop who was still a little immature and whose cultivation was not very high.

It hasn't been long since he grew into a powerful man in the Divine Martial Realm!
Tian Daheng felt even more awed and asked in a low voice, "Sir, would you like to take a break and drink some tea? I have prepared the best tea specially for you."

Jiang Lin didn't plan to go back in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't tasted the tea here yet, I really want to try what it tastes like."

"It's my fault for not hosting you well enough." Tian Daheng said quickly.

Jiang Lin smiled. The "here" he mentioned was this world, not the Zuowang Tower.

However, there is no need to explain this matter too clearly, so it is better to let Tian Daheng continue to misunderstand it this way.

While Jiang Lin was leisurely savoring the sweet tea, Si Hongwen, the Vice Minister of Works, personally came to the South Blacksmith Camp with a group of people.

Doctor Yang Junchi, steward Yan Tianrong, and engineer Yu Maoming all followed behind.

Looking at the Minister striding ahead, Yan Tianrong couldn't help thinking that he had been coming here too many times recently, so he might as well move the Foundry directly to the South Blacksmith Camp.

Zhao Yankui and Yuan Gaohao, who had been informed in advance, stood at the camp gate to greet them with Qi the blacksmith and other master craftsmen.

Si Hongwen had a smile on his face, but when he came closer, he didn't see Jiang Lin.

Yang Junchi quickly asked, "Where is Lord Jiang?"

Zhao Yankui hurriedly explained: "In reply to your words, Lord Jiang just broke through and went to Kyoto City to buy some things. I have sent people to look for him."

"Breakthrough again?" Si Hongwen's face was full of surprise. No wonder His Majesty had to issue an edict to reward him, but this Lord Jiang's breakthrough was too fast.

Has it been three or five days since the last time?

Yang Junchi turned around and asked, "Mr. Minister, look..."

Si Hongwen waved his hand and said, "No hurry, wait until Lord Jiang is done with his work. It just so happens that I haven't been to the Southern Blacksmith Camp for a long time, so I'll take a look."

Seeing Si Hongwen strolling around with everyone, pointing here and there, looking very serious.

Qi the blacksmith who was following behind couldn't help but ask: "I seem to have seen this scene before?"

Zhao Yankui beside him chuckled and said, "It was the same when Lord Yang Junchi first came here."

Blacksmith Qi suddenly realized, yes, when Yang Junchi came to the Southern Blacksmith Camp for the first time, he was just like Si Hongwen, wandering around without waiting for Lord Jiang.

Afterwards, a large sum of money was allocated to help the people in the Southern Blacksmith Camp improve their lives.

Blacksmith Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "So, our Southern Blacksmith Camp will be paying out money again?"

The other master chefs also became excited. After a big shot strolled around the Southern Blacksmith Camp, he had to leave some memories behind, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
"But then again, what is the Minister going to do here in person?" someone asked.

"What else can I do? He must be seeing Lord Jiang's breakthrough and wants to reward me again. Didn't you see the car behind him?"

"Hiss... Doesn't that mean Lord Jiang is at a disadvantage?"

"Where do you start talking about this?"

"If you are rewarded for every breakthrough, then Lord Jiang will lose out if he breaks through several times in a row, right?"

"Hey, now that you put it that way it seems to be true."

Many blacksmiths were talking in the back. At this time, Jiang Lin was sitting in front of the watchtower, watching those people from the martial arts world loading the remains of monsters, medicinal herbs, and various debris materials collected recently into the car.

Zuowanglou has never stopped collecting fragments and has collected hundreds of them in recent days.

In the past, Jiang Lin would definitely be very happy.

But Cai Xingchang sent 400 kinds of materials in the first batch, which made him more open-minded and no longer have such big psychological fluctuations.

At this time, someone shouted loudly: "Master Jiang! Master Jiang!"

Jiang Lin turned around and saw Yuan Bingqi running towards him in a hurry, his forehead covered with sweat.

"Master Yuan, what happened?" Jiang Lin asked.

Yuan Bingqi took two breaths and said, "Lord Si Hongwen, the Minister of Works, has arrived. He has brought many gifts and is waiting for you to return."

Si Hongwen, the Minister of Works?
Jiang Lin didn't feel too surprised. He had been in the spotlight recently, so it was normal for the Ministry of Industry to pay more attention to him.

It was just that the Minister of the Court came in person to present the gift, so it was still quite grand. Tian Daheng hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, pack up and go!"

A group of gangsters hurriedly put all their efforts into loading the car quickly and drove towards the South Blacksmith Camp.

Yuan Bingqi stayed beside Jiang Lin, trying to urge him to walk faster.

But Lord Jiang was leisurely following the carriage, not in the least bit of a hurry.

Well, this is the person who made a deal with Yu Shuai. He is not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?

After a long time, Jiang Lin returned to the South Blacksmith Camp.

Si Hongwen had already walked around the place and originally wanted to visit Jiang Lin's blacksmith shop, but he stood at the door for a long time without going in, just staring at the tall Hengyu furnace.

The eight completely lit branches of the Lingmiao Treasure Tree on the furnace, as well as the ninth branch that was 65% lit, made Si Hongwen feel inexplicably moved.

When I first heard the name Jiang Lin, he had just mastered the secret recipe of Baobing. I didn't expect that even the furnace would be promoted to Yuanbing so soon.

No wonder His Majesty had to personally issue an order to reward. It seems that the Ministry of Works does not understand Lord Jiang as well as His Majesty does.

"Sir, Sir Jiang is here." Yang Junchi on the side reminded in a low voice.

Si Hongwen turned his head and saw Jiang Lin in the distance, bowing and shouting: "Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was in Kyoto City to buy some materials, so I was delayed. Please forgive me."

Si Hongwen chuckled, bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "Master Jiang is very busy, it's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Lin had already seen the vehicles loaded with rewards at the camp gate, and he had some idea of ​​what was going on, so he asked, "My Lord Minister, why are you here today?"

"Of course, I'm here to congratulate Lord Jiang." Si Hongwen said, "Please move over, Lord Jiang."

As he spoke, Si Hongwen personally led the way and brought Jiang Lin to the various rewards.

Then, the Minister took out the golden imperial edict from his bosom and said loudly: "Jiang Lin, the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Works, accept the edict!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Accept the purpose?

When they took another look at the glaring imperial edict, they were immediately furious.

This is not a reward from the Ministry of Works, but from His Majesty the Emperor!
Even Jiang Lin was surprised. His Majesty gave him a reward? What was going on?
Seeing him in a daze, Yang Junchi quickly pulled him and said, "Master Jiang, kneel down and accept the order."

Jiang Lin didn't have so many concerns. After all, he was the emperor of Daqian. He had to give him face when he was eating under his roof.

After he knelt down, Si Hongwen unfolded the imperial edict and read: "It is the will of the Emperor, and it is the will of the Heaven. Here is Jiang Lin, a doctor in the Ministry of Works. He is talented and has made outstanding contributions. He deserves to be rewarded. The Ministry of Works shall handle it on its own to show the emperor's great grace!"

After Si Hongwen finished reading the imperial edict, he smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, this imperial edict is for our Ministry of Works, so it will not be given to you. But remember, this is a reward from His Majesty."

Jiang Lin prostrated himself: "Your Majesty, I, Jiang Lin, thank you!"

Then, Si Hongwen put the imperial edict back in his arms, went over to help Jiang Lin up, and said with a smile: "Now that the imperial edict has been read, let's talk about the reward from our Ministry of Industry."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Junchi immediately brought over the official uniform, jade belt, waist badge, letter of authorization and other items that had been prepared long ago.

Si Hongwen took it and handed it to Jiang Lin, saying, "According to the order of the Minister of Works, Jiang Lin, a fifth-rank doctor, has made great contributions in managing the Foundry Department and is promoted to Left Secretary, a fourth-rank official, responsible for the affairs of the Foundry Department, the Forestry and Garden Department, and the Construction Department."

Everyone was in an uproar. The Zuo Si Shi was a fourth-rank official!

This was already a very great power, almost a step to heaven. Even Yang Junchi, who was also a fifth-rank doctor, was full of envy.

Although there is only a difference of two grades, one is in the sky and the other is on the earth.

Jiang Lin was a little surprised, but he also felt it was reasonable.

After all, it was the Emperor himself who awarded the reward, so it would not be an exaggeration for the Ministry of Works to promote him three levels.

However, once one reaches the third rank, one truly enters the core circle of power in Daqian and must attend court meetings to discuss state affairs.

His Majesty had no intention of allowing Jiang Lin to meet him, so Sun Zhongyun and Si Hongwen discussed for a long time before deciding on the position of the fourth-rank Zuosishi.

It’s high enough, but not too high, and the power is greatly increased.

Moreover, the Zuo Si Shi is in charge of the Foundry Department, the Forest and Garden Department, the Construction Department, etc., which is the most suitable position for Jiang Lin.

The people in the Foundry Department were naturally very happy, as this meant that even though Jiang Lin had been promoted again, he still didn't have to leave.

But the happiest people were the people from the Forestry and Garden Department and the Construction Department.

Especially those who are in charge, they are ecstatic now.

They have seen how much benefits the Foundry has taken these days, and how much silver the blacksmiths in the blacksmith camp have pocketed. They dream of working with Lord Jiang!

Now my dream has come true. I have become a member of Lord Jiang's army. Is there any doubt about how good my life will be in the future?

After Jiang Lin took the things, Si Hongwen opened the car behind him, opened the lid of the box, and said with a smile: "800,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold."

"Knowing that Lord Jiang prefers materials used for ironwork, Lord Shangshu specifically ordered me to search the warehouse and find these 372 different materials and send them to you. Lord Jiang, can you check them?"
