Early the next morning, Chu Tianyun and Chen Luo rode on two fast horses, nibbling on a cornbread as they headed straight for Jinhua County.
Nowadays, perhaps only big cities like Shanghai had trams and some private cars. The gravel road was filled with the sound of horse hooves.
After nearly a month, Chen Luo and Chu Tianyun had gotten to know each other better. Although they were a few years older, Chu Tianyun had transmigrated from the 21st century, so he knew more than Chen Luo.
"Battalion Commander, the Lin Family doesn't just have a silk factory that can shake the Southeast. They also have a daughter who is as beautiful as a fairy and has unparalleled talent. If I can see her today, it would be a great blessing!”
Chu Tianyun was really curious. This was not the first time he had heard of the daughter of the Lin family. In fact, it had already reached a shocking level.
"Fine, in the end, you came with me today to see Miss Lin!”
Chu Tianyun joked as he whipped his horse and sped up.
"Alright, Battalion Commander, don't be surprised when you see this Miss Lin later!”
The speed of the horse ride was quite fast. In less than two hours, they arrived at Jinhua County. To be honest, this was the first time Chu Tianyun had taken a closer look at the county town since he transmigrated.
Compared to the original idea, the county town of the Republic of China was more prosperous. It was similar to some Westerners 'stuff. As long as you could afford it, you could also buy it.
Two-story taverns, some pawnshops, and even some new buildings like newspaper stands could be found in Jinhua County.
However, Chu Tianyun also saw some troops, probably Lu Yongxiang's men. He had inquired beforehand that there was an infantry regiment stationed in the southeast of Jinhua County, as well as a security regiment. There was no need to worry about safety.
Chu Tianyun and the others knew the address of the Lin Residence. It was located in the southwest of the city. The largest courtyard belonged to their Lin Family.
The two of them led their horses and walked southwest of the city. From afar, they saw two stone lions standing in front of the courtyard.
"Battalion Commander, this Old Master Lin has asked to see you several times. I really don't understand.”
Chen Luo was also puzzled. Logically speaking, even if he was the adopted son of Master Chu, he shouldn't have made such a big move.
"You ask me, I don't know either. However, this time, I have a favor to ask, so I still have to have the necessary etiquette!”
Chu Tianyun handed the invitation card to the guard and waited by the side.
After a short while, the servant who had delivered the message ran out of the manor and welcomed Chu Tianyun and his wife with both hands.
The Lin family had a yarn factory in Fu Province, Zhe Province, and Tianhai City. In the past few years, because of the war, European countries had shifted their centers away. The Lin family had also earned a lot of money in the past few years.
However, recently, in the southeast coastal area, the Japanese's raw yarn factories had opened one after another.
The raw yarn of the Japanese was 10% cheaper than the raw yarn of the Lin family. The old master of the Lin family was worried.
In the inner court, a plump middle-aged man in a purple robe was lying on his armchair, basking in the morning sun. He looked quite relaxed.
He heard some footsteps and his face beamed. He closed his folding fan and stood up from the armchair.
Ever since Chu Tianyun had bought two shredders from the Lin Clan Chamber of Commerce, he had set his eyes on the adopted son of the commander of the 11th Infantry Division of the Northern Army. He led a battalion alone and mined in the mountains. He even recruited some children from Shuiping Weir to teach them how to read and write.
Especially when it came to mining, Lin Changmin was even more curious about this young Battalion Commander.
How many people in the current dynasty were willing to do something that would benefit the common people?
In the north, Yuan Shikai had the help of several powerful countries. He was still expanding his military strength, winning over and suppressing some local warlords. What was even more ridiculous was that Yuan Datou even wanted to be the emperor!
However, Chu Tianyun had built a phosphorous fertilizer plant in a poor valley on Shuiping Weir. Although there were only two sets of equipment, it was indeed a processing plant!
The strength of a country was not only based on military strength, but also industrial strength. The reason why European countries were so powerful was because they had a huge industrial zone.
(During that period, there must have been many reasons that hindered the development of China's national industry. Even if it wanted to develop, it might not be able to develop. This was not the fault of anyone. If we fell behind, we would be beaten up...)
"Tianyun, it's really too difficult for me, Lin Changmin, to meet you!”
(Don't take it for granted. This is a novel, not a history book. If there are any mistakes, please forgive us!)）
Chu Tianyun was a shrewd person and could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.
"Tianyun has been wanting to see you for a long time, but I can't be at ease without me sitting there for the horizontal weir, the phosphorous fertilizer plant, and the 1st Battalion!”
"Let's not talk about this matter first. I have already asked the servants to prepare lunch. No matter what, you must have lunch here today before going back.”
With that, Lin Changmin dragged Chu Tianyun inside.
Chu Tianyun had eaten his fill at dinner time, but he did not see the Lin family's daughter. He heard from Lin Changmin that his daughter was studying at Peihua Girls 'Middle School in Shanghai and had just left a few days ago.
" Old Master Lin, to be honest, Tianyun is here to make a deal with you. Take a look at this…"
After saying that, Chu Tianyun handed Lin Changmin the more advanced yarn design blueprint that he had prepared in advance.
"Tianyun…"
At first, Lin Changmin didn't think much of it. However, when he opened it and saw some production processes for raw yarn, he couldn't help but be unable to extricate himself.
"Old Master Lin, this Japanese cotton mill can't continue to be arrogant in China. I haven't taken revenge for the Yellow Sea battle back then!!”
"In this short period of time, I don't have the ability to open a raw yarn factory, but you do. It's best to leave the manufacturing process to Old Master Lin!”
"If the Japanese want to make so much money from us, I, Chu Tianyun, will never agree.”
"Alright, alright! Tianyun, what you've given me is really a life-saving straw. You're right. The treaty of Shimanseki has given the Japanese so many benefits from China. This time, we must not let them continue to earn money from the Chinese!”
After the meal, after Chu Tianyun left, Lin Changmin tightly grasped the manufacturing process in his hands. That young man had a certain spirit that the young people of this era did not have, like a kind of national pride.
" The establishment of a national industry isn't something that can be done in a day or two. It's the goal that the entire nation and country is striving for. Although Tianyun is weak, it's willing to fight for this goal for the rest of its life…"
