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

Chapter 211 I'm here to give you a benefit

Zhao Yankui shook his head and said, "The most skilled craftsman should be the first. Besides, I haven't taught you much. It's not appropriate for you to take the title of master and apprentice for nothing. Let's just treat each other as peers."

Not to mention Jiang Lin's future achievements, right now he is already far superior to anyone in the Foundry Department.

The term "foreman" or "not foreman" is meaningless to Jiang Lin who has already joined the border army.

Even though he was just an ordinary blacksmith, no one dared to look down on him.

So Zhao Yankui thought about it for a while and decided to talk about this matter properly.

Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but say seriously, "Once a teacher, always a father. There is also a saying that a master leads you into the door, but the practice is up to you. The level of skill is not the criterion for measuring the relationship between a master and a disciple, just like the rank of the border troops is not determined solely by their military strength."

"You may think you didn't teach me much, but in this blacksmith camp, I have acknowledged you as my master, and you will always be my master. If you feel ashamed to accept me as your disciple, or if you think I am useless, then that's fine."

Zhao Yankui was speechless after hearing this. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "How can I respond to you?"

Blacksmith Qi came over and said, "Master Zhao, please don't refuse. You and I both know that Master Jiang values ​​friendship. If you insist on treating him as an equal, you are harming him."

After being persuaded by several people, Zhao Yankui finally gave up the idea.

However, seeing Jiang Lin so respectful to his teacher, Zhao Yankui couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "We in the blacksmith camp have always considered ourselves to be rough people, speaking and doing things in a rough way, but now there is someone who is affectionate and sincere, which makes me look hypocritical."

"You're not being pretentious at all. It's just that my apprentice is so outstanding that I'm a little happy and don't know what to do." Blacksmith Qi said with a smile.

This is true. He is just a small blacksmith, but the Ministry of Works issued a direct document. Anyone who has such an awesome apprentice would be a little confused.

However, most of what he said today was due to Yuan Gaohao's persuasion, who felt that Jiang Lin's current status was too high, so high that no one would be suitable to be his master. Zhao Yankui himself did not think so much about it.

After he scolded me, I felt that it was not appropriate.

Well, now that I have said this, it would be hypocritical to say more.

Zhao Yankui smiled casually and said no more.

"What are you going to do when we expand our manpower for the third game? Will it be the same as before?" Zhao Yankui asked.

Jiang Lin shook his head and said to Blacksmith Qi, "Master Qi, please make a few more signs and take them to the three major blacksmith camps in the east, west and north. Put them up at their gates and recruit people on the spot. We will take as many as you want."

Qi the blacksmith was stunned when he heard this and said, "Aren't you asking for a beating?"

The previous two expansions had already made the other major blacksmith camps unhappy, especially when a few master craftsmen jumped ship, which made the others very angry.

If you just block someone's door with a sign, it would be strange if a fight doesn't break out.

Jiang Lin smiled faintly and said, "Fight? Who dares to fight? We have an official document from the Ministry of Industry, and we are ordered to recruit people. If they dare to show their teeth, we will throw the document in their faces."

Blacksmith Qi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and his eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes. We have official documents from the Ministry of Industry. If they dare to take action, they are courting death!"

Zhao Yankui was shocked when he heard this. He originally just wanted Jiang Lin to make more noise and recruit more people, but he didn't expect this guy to directly send people to block the door.

But Jiang Lin didn't do what he said. With the official document from the Ministry of Industry in hand, who dares to challenge you?
The boss of the Ministry of Works is a top-ranking official of the current dynasty!
One sentence can determine the life and death of thousands of people.

Qi the blacksmith and others were extremely excited. The Southern Blacksmith Camp had been suppressed for many years. It had no people, no money, and no fame.

When going out, when saying that you are from the blacksmith camp, you dare not add the word "Nan".

Now everything is fine, I can finally hold my head high.

Aren’t you three major blacksmith camps in the east, west and north proud of your large numbers and showing off your might all day long? Let’s see who is more powerful!
Jiang Lin knew that if Blacksmith Qi and his men went there, there would be some friction and they might appear a little arrogant.

But it doesn’t matter. The Southern Blacksmith Camp has been suppressed for so many years. What’s wrong with being arrogant occasionally?
Besides, he was not familiar with other blacksmiths, so it didn't matter if he suppressed their prestige. Seeing Qi the blacksmith taking people to make the sign, Jiang Lin arranged a few small things casually, and Zhao Yankui watched silently from the side.

He just thought silently in his heart that his apprentice was not only skilled, but also good at management.

It is hard to understand why he is so young but so sophisticated in his actions.

If I remember correctly, Jiang Lin should also be from a poor family. Why does he have so many thoughts?
Could it be that it was some kind of hidden or impoverished family?
Not long after, Qi the blacksmith and his companions finished making the sign and went out carrying it with high spirits.

Zhao Yankui watched them leave and said to Jiang Lin, "Although this can be done, we must be careful about the degree. After all, they are all from the Foundry Department. Don't make the relationship too awkward."

Jiang Lin nodded: "Master, don't worry. Even if we don't tell them, Master Qi and the others won't go too far."

"That's true. Master Qi is also a steady man. Apart from Master Tang, the only one in our Southern Blacksmith Camp is..."

Zhao Yankui stopped talking in the middle of his words, his eyes full of sadness.

I met Master Tang a few days ago, but I didn't expect that would be the last time we saw each other. I couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.

At this time, a large group of people came towards this side, all of them were soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

Zhao Yankui's eyes narrowed as he looked at him. Who was that person?

Jiang Lin could see the leader's face clearly from a distance and said with a smile, "It's Brother Cai Yanting, the commander of the Nanling camp."

Dusi is a military officer of the fourth rank.

When his apprentice called him "brother", Zhao Yankui couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he had really "climbed up a high branch".

Cai Yanting also saw Jiang Lin and waved from a distance, "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Lin and Zhao Yankui came forward, greeted him, and asked, "Brother Cai, what are you doing?"

Cai Yanting laughed, pointed at the box carried by a group of soldiers behind him, and said, "I'm here to give you something good."

"benefit?"

Cai Yanting smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what you wanted in Qingzhou?"

Jiang Lin was stunned. Of course he had not forgotten it, but he had never taken it to heart.

It’s not that he doesn’t want the benefits, but those things are too valuable and he never thought of putting them into his own pocket.

Besides, whether the Qingzhou Li family will give it is another matter.

"Not giving? How dare they! They agreed in front of Marshal Yu and then turned around and tried to deny the debt. They are probably courting death!" Cai Yanting sneered.

No one in the world dares to blame the border troops, not even the powerful clans.

Zhao Yankui didn't quite know what Jiang Lin did in Qingzhou and what he wanted, so he asked curiously, "What's in this box?"

"Nothing." Cai Yanting raised his head slightly and said, "It's just one million taels of silver and a few hundred top-grade weapons."

Zhao Yankui was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously rubbed his ears and asked, "What did Lord Cai say?"

He did not doubt that he had heard it wrong, he only suspected that Cai Yanting was drunk.
