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

Chapter 96: East Blacksmith Camp is in turmoil

The previous breakthrough, coupled with the damage to the furnace, left the blacksmith shop in a bit of a mess.

After a lot of cleaning up, everyone finally recovered.

Seeing Jiang Lin had taken off the hammer handle, Qi the blacksmith went over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I have nothing else to do, so I want to forge the iron again." Jiang Lin said.

Blacksmith Qi's eyelids twitched when he heard this. I just burned down a furnace, and you want another one?

Jiang Lin saw what he meant and said with a smile, "Master Qi, don't worry. I won't use such a high temperature this time."

Ordinary furnaces cannot withstand high temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees. If we really want to re-forge these iron tools, I'm afraid a lot of furnaces will be broken again.

Blacksmith Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You don't need to think too much about Yuan Bingqi's matter. Even if he comes here to be a master chef, I won't..."

"Master Qi." Jiang Lin interrupted him and said seriously, "Since I came to the Southern Blacksmith Camp, there are only a few people who have been nice to me from beginning to end. Apart from Master, Master Wei and the others, there are only you and Master Tang."

"I am not a saint, and I cannot be truly selfless. If those close to me do not benefit, then no matter how well I develop, it is meaningless in my opinion."

Blacksmith Qi was speechless. After a long while, he looked relieved and said, "Okay, you have the final say."

This sentence set the tone for the identity relationship between him and Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin smiled faintly as he watched Blacksmith Qi leave.

It is true that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.

But after Zhao Yankui left, if the Southern Blacksmith Camp wanted to maintain stability, it needed to unite these veterans first.

As long as these people don't cause trouble, the Southern Blacksmith Camp will not be in chaos.

Taking the hammer head with the wooden handle removed, Jiang Lin walked towards the furnace and began a new round of calcining and hammering.

Before the foundry assigns new work, he wants to upgrade the quality of his ironware.

The fire rose and the hammer head burned in the flames at about 1,500 degrees.

[Material quality improved by 1%]

[Material quality improved by 4%]

[Material quality improved by 10%]

……

At the same time, Yuan Bingqi also returned to the East Blacksmith Camp.

Unlike the South Blacksmith Camp which only had one donkey cart, there were six donkey carts in the East Blacksmith Camp!
Yuan Bingqi went over and pulled one, then started moving things out of the house.

Several blacksmiths and apprentices passed by and saw this and ran over: "Master Yuan, do you need any help?"

Yuan Bingqi nodded. He had a lot of stuff and it would take him a long time to move it all by himself.

Several people diligently helped to load the things into the car, but the more they moved, the more they felt something was wrong.

There were too many things on the car. In addition to ironware, there were also a pile of casting materials.

That would be fine, but how come there are also bedding, clothes, and drinks?
A blacksmith couldn't help but ask, "Master Yuan, what are you doing by moving all the things onto the truck?"

"move place."

"Moving?" The blacksmith looked around and saw that no new houses had been built recently. "Where are you moving to?"

"Southern Blacksmith Camp." Yuan Bingqi pulled the rope tightly and tied a knot expertly. Then he bowed to the people and said, "Thank you for your help. See you again someday."

After saying this, he led the donkey cart away.

An apprentice was stunned and asked, "Master Yuan, what do you mean... he wants to go to the Southern Blacksmith Camp?"

"I heard that the Southern Blacksmith Camp is recruiting people recently."

"But he is the master craftsman of our East Blacksmith Camp!"

Several people stood there, all a little dumbfounded. If they went out for a while, they would no longer be members of the East Blacksmith Camp when they came back?
They looked at each other and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

As they watched the donkey cart going farther and farther away, a thought came to the minds of several people: the four major blacksmith camps, which had not undergone any changes for a hundred years, seemed to be about to encounter a big event!
One blacksmith reacted quickly and immediately turned around and ran towards the other house, shouting as he ran: "Oh no! Master Yuan went to the South Blacksmith Camp!"

People came out of many houses and asked in confusion, "Which Master Yuan? What are you doing in the South Blacksmith Camp?"

"Master Yuan Bingqi! He is going to join the Southern Blacksmith Camp!" the blacksmith shouted.

Everyone was shocked and suspected that they had heard it wrongly.

The master chef of the Eastern Blacksmith Camp wants to join the Southern Blacksmith Camp for no apparent reason?
There were also blacksmiths who knew that the Southern Blacksmith Camp was preparing to recruit people. At this moment, their minds suddenly became active and they exchanged subtle glances with other blacksmiths who had ideas.

Originally they were embarrassed to leave, thinking that they would see each other again and it would be awkward.

But now even the master chef Yuan Bingqi has gone there, what else do ordinary blacksmiths like them have to worry about?
Some people also think that the Southern Blacksmith Camp does not provide enough benefits and does not earn as much money as the Eastern Blacksmith Camp.

This statement was immediately met with contempt from others: "The reason why the Southern Blacksmith Camp has less money is because there is less work. If they really recruited a lot of people, how much less can they earn than us?"

"That's not important. What's important is that Jiang Lin is appreciated by the steward."

"I heard from the people in the Southern Blacksmith Camp that Master Jiang Linjiang has a deep friendship with the Lieutenant General of the Nanling Camp."

"Is this true? If I can get close to the border troops, won't I be able to walk all over the foundry?"

When several master craftsmen from the Eastern Blacksmith Camp learned about this, they were furious.

"How can Yuan Bingqi just walk away like this? It's ridiculous!"

"Who knows what he was thinking? Maybe the Southern Blacksmith Camp gave him a huge benefit?"

"It would be fine if the Southern Blacksmith Camp took the position of deputy master forger, but now they are even trying to take the person! No, I have to go to the Foundry Department to seek justice from the master forger!"

"Let's go together, let's go together. How can we just sit there and watch them do this?"

Several master craftsmen left the blacksmith camp angrily and went straight to the foundry.

The other blacksmiths were talking about it, and their hearts were in turmoil for a while.

Jiang Lin had no idea that his casual remark would cause an uproar in the East Blacksmith Camp.

At this moment, he was re-hammering the hammer head. With each hammer blow, a large amount of impurities were squeezed out.

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities has been improved by 3%]

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities has been improved by 8%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities has been improved by 15%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

……

Amid the monotonous clinking sound, the quality of the hammer heads improved at an astonishing rate and the number of defects decreased rapidly.

After Jiang Lin quenched the hammer head, he saw two entropy patterns on the hammer, indicating that it had reached the lower seventh grade.

[A hammer of average quality, with 95 defects]

Jiang Lin nodded secretly, it turned out that re-training was very useful.

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Lin decided to continue eliminating the defects. He really wanted to know what grade he could achieve if he eliminated these defects.

jingle——

jingle——

After only a dozen or so hammer strikes, another entropy pattern appeared on the hammer, reaching the middle sixth grade.

This means that even if the defects are not eliminated, the castings made by Jiang Lin are already very close to the middle sixth grade.

And there are still nearly eighty defects left!
