Chapter 45 Head of the Headquarters [Please read]
Listening to Du Yujiang's words, Wei Yi felt more and more that after this upgrade, he might really reach the level of a fifth-grade swordsmith.
"Wei Yi, why did you suddenly come to ask me these things today? Have you reached a new breakthrough in your skills?" Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi expectantly.
After all, he made a special trip to ask himself about this matter today, so there must be a reason for it.
"Well, there is indeed a new breakthrough. I want to take another assessment." Wei Yi said truthfully.
After hearing the exact answer, Du Yujiang couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
Although he had some speculation in his mind just now, Wei Yi's words still surprised him.
Based on his understanding of Wei Yi, if he can say this, he must have a certain degree of confidence.
Thinking about it, he had just become a ninth-grade swordsmith in less than a month.
Now he has made new progress, and is expected to reach the seventh level and become a seventh-level swordsmith like himself.
Sure enough, genius is genius.
Moreover, Wei Yi's talent in forging swords can no longer be described as a genius.
Even among the geniuses he knew, none improved so quickly.
And that’s without anyone’s guidance.
Completely through my own exploration and research.
This is somewhat surprising.
"You are really talented at forging swords. You are about to hit the seventh level so soon. If my talent was half as good as yours, I wouldn't have stopped at the seventh level for so many years!" Du Yujiang sighed.
"Shopkeeper Du is overly praised!" Wei Yi cupped his hand, paused, and then said: "Um...Shopkeeper Du, actually...I want to directly try the assessment of the fifth-grade swordsmith!" "What?
" Du Yujiang was stunned, and even thought that he had heard wrongly.
"I want to directly take the fifth-grade swordsmith assessment and try it out, right?" Wei Yi asked with a smile.
"It's OK, Wei Yi, do you think you have reached the fifth level?" Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi in shock.
"Well, I'm 80% sure." Wei Yi nodded.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were unwavering.
Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi with his mouth half open, not knowing what to say for a while.
He felt that the amount of information was a bit large and the emotional impact was a bit strong.
He needed to digest and calm down.
But after he calmed down for a long time, the waves in his heart became more and more turbulent.
It can be said that the more I think about this, the more shocked I feel.
He thought it was incredible that Wei Yi could break through to the seventh level.
Unexpectedly, he was going to attack the fifth level.
Although he didn't know whether Wei Yi would be able to pass the assessment in the end.
But this incident still touched and shocked him a lot.
"You really surprised me today!"
Du Yujiang calmed down a little, and then said: "Since you want to attack the fifth level, then I will tell you the specific things, although I didn't participate either. I have passed the fifth-grade assessment, but I still know the general situation." "The
registration fee for the fifth-grade swordsmith assessment is one hundred taels of silver. The assessment location is still at the Sword Forging Department in Qingzhou City. The required materials must be reported in advance... ...
After the assessment is completed, your sword will be sent to the Ordnance Bureau in the capital for a series of tests. The final result will only be announced there." "
If you can become a fifth-grade swordsmith, your status will naturally be the same in the future. Unlike before, you will have more choices." "
For example, you can choose to join the Ordnance Bureau, become a work officer, and have an official position, but you may be subject to more restrictions, and you have to go to the capital to work." "Other than
that In addition, you can also choose to join a larger force and become their worshiper, or join our Wanjiang Pavilion and become a shopkeeper!" "Of course, you can also continue to be a free craftsman, and you can also become a trader. The first."
At this point, Du Yujiang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his eyebrows lit up with joy, and he said with a little excitement: "By the way, Wei Yi, if you can become a fifth-grade swordsmith, I will recommend you to be the Qingzhou City Master. The head of the hardware and handicraft industry."
"Currently, I am the head of the line, but after Qiu Xuanji came, he has been fighting for this position. Although the prefect Li has a good relationship with me, according to relevant laws, Qiu Xuanji is
not You are a fifth-grade swordsmith, and you are indeed qualified to replace me.
So I have been in this position for a long time, but if you can become a fifth-grade swordsmith, then I can naturally recommend you to replace me." "Hardware Handicraft
Industry What does the general manager do?" Wei Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Yujiang curiously.
I couldn't help but have a strong interest in my heart.
Although he probably guessed some of it from the literal meaning, he still wanted to hear what Du Yujiang said.
"You should know about guilds, right?"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Guilds have their own guilds, also called guilds, but these guilds are divided into more detailed ones. There are dozens of large and small ones in the entire Qingzhou City. Small guilds cannot be managed by the government at all.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the management of these guilds, head offices have been set up. Each head office manages a part of similar or related industries. For example, the ironware
shop, bronze shop, gold and silver shop in the city Guilds such as jewelry and lock shops are all under the management of our hardware and handicraft industry head office." "
Although this head office is not an official position, it has considerable power and directly manages the subordinate guilds. This includes the appointment and removal of the head of the shop, and the guild's charter and regulations. Approval, etc.
Although this general outfit needs to pass the literary test, but you are a child, so this literary test must be completely fine, so as long as you can become a fifth-grade swordsmith, then this general outfit is for you It's none other than that."
After hearing this, Wei Yi's eyes brightened a little, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There is even the position of head of the line.
If you become the head of the outfit, doesn't that mean that the ironware guild and the head of the horse iron outfit will be under your control from now on?
It’s true that mountains and rivers can’t change!
Wei Yi knew very well that before there was no force that could dominate all living beings, rights often played a greater role in this world.
Didn't Ma Tie force the Wei family to close the iron shop just because he was the head of the iron shop?
That's what rights do.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Du. I will definitely work hard to pass the fifth-grade swordsmith examination. I really can't let this general outfit fall into the hands of Qiu Xuanji!" Wei Yi said sternly.
"Well, I also hope that you can become a fifth-grade swordsmith, so that Qiu Xuanji will no longer have the chance to contain our Wanjiang Pavilion!" Du Yujiang was also full of expectations for Wei Yi.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Du, I have one more thing to ask for your help!" Wei Yi changed the subject.
"Whatever it is, just say it!"
Wei Yi paused and then told Du Yujiang about Xiangmanlou.
"So I would like to ask you to help find connections and ask the county government to take good care of Shopkeeper Meng. I am afraid that Wan Yinchang and his son will harm Shopkeeper Meng." Wei Yi said in a deep voice.
"This Wan family is really doing everything possible. Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will go to the county government in person. No matter how courageous the Wan family is, they will not dare to do anything to Shopkeeper Meng. ." Du Yujiang said.
"Then I'll thank Shopkeeper Du first!" Wei Yi stood up and bowed, saying gratefully.
"There is no need to be polite in our relationship, and when you become a fifth-grade swordsmith, I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future!" Du Yujiang said with a smile.
"No matter what level of swordsmith you become in the future, you will always be my boss, my benefactor, and my friend in my heart!" Wei Yi said sincerely.
This is what he said from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, your words prove that I, Du Yujiang, did not misjudge the person." Du Yujiang laughed heartily and patted Wei Yi on the shoulder.
