Xinghua County was a county with a large population. In the past few years, it had been bustling with the implementation of reforms and the implementation of democratic reformism. However, in remote areas, the old feudal ideas were still deeply rooted. However, Boss Chen in Xinghua County had opened a match factory, and Boss Wang's textile factory, as well as some commercial firms. They were all imported from Tianhai, Jinling, and even Yanjing!
Just the American cloth alone would earn a lot of money from the county town every month. However, it was still cheaper than some domestic cloth.。
"Ze Fan!"
" Third Grandpa!!"
The Lin family's ancestral home was located in the east of the Lin family village. Currently, only Lin Zefan's third grandfather lived here. He continued to clean the mansion and was happy to be alone. It could be considered as offering incense to the Lin family's ancestor!
His third grandfather had never married or had children. When he was young, he liked to fight. At that time, he joined the new army, but he participated in the border war. It seemed to be against the Gauls.
If one looked closely, one would see that Third Grandpa's legs were a little inconvenient…
This Lin family ancestral mansion was quite imposing. There were probably more than a hundred houses in total. There were large courtyards and small courtyards. The main door was empty, and the words 'Lin Manor' carved in gold could be said to be 30% carved into the wood. The decorations on both sides were in the shape of a huge dragon soaring into the sky, bending towards the sky.
"Good boy, I heard from my nephew Hong Yuan that you were coming back. I didn't believe it. What's the matter?”
Lin Guomin, on the other hand, was getting younger and younger. He was not like a 70-year-old man with a ruddy complexion and black hair. When he spoke, he would definitely look 10 years younger to outsiders!
"I came back to recuperate for a few months. The town is noisy and not as quiet as this. It's a good time to accompany Third Grandpa!”
Lin Guomin also laughed heartily. This kid had watched him grow up. He didn't expect that after escaping death, his personality had changed a lot. He definitely wouldn't be so open-minded in the past…
At night, during dinner time, Lin Zefan and Lin Guomin were chatting by candlelight. Lin Guomin loved wine, and Lin Zefan had also fallen in love with this spicy taste after returning from the death door. However, the wine making technology of this era was clearly not unfathomable. Lin Zefan's head was filled with the wine making technology of the 21st century. Of course, this was a story for the future.
After a few glasses of wine, the grandfather and grandson pair went straight to the point. Lin Zefan returned to the Lin Family Village not to recuperate but to gather his own army. In troubled times, people and ghosts were all showing off. Why couldn't Lin Zefan become a figure like the security guards or even the president of the capital? The road was walked by people, and the way was thought out. The king had guts. The civilization war machine gave him the greatest possibility. If he didn't have the courage... He might as well commit suicide by banging his head against the wall!
"What?"
"Zefan, you said you want to recruit private soldiers in Lin Family Village?？”
Lin Guomin, who had just finished a mouthful of wine, was shocked. His grandnephew must have drunk too much today and was talking nonsense. Recruiting private soldiers? What era was it now? When they fought against the Gallic chickens decades ago, the Qing army used Western rifles. No matter how many private soldiers were recruited, when the security corps came, it would be useless.
Lin Guomin immediately expressed his disagreement.
"I don't agree. No matter how many private soldiers there are, they can't defeat the security team. If the army comes to the city, hundreds of people from the Lin family will be shot to death!”
Lin Zefan had also prepared his words and immediately said!
" Third Grandpa, the Xinghua City Security Corps demanded 2,000 yuan from us this year, and it will only be more than this amount next year. Our Lin Family has to hand over the money no matter what. Instead of waiting to die, why don't we rise up and rebel earlier? The Lin Family still has some value now, but in another three to five years, I'm afraid the Lin Family's fate will be…"
" Besides, recruiting private soldiers is only the first step. The second step is to build a military factory. We will build our own rifle bullets. As long as we hide it well at the beginning, the officials in the city will never know!!”
That night, Lin Zefan explained for a long time. In the end, he pushed the design drawings of the rifle and the materials for the development of the bullets to a former classmate of his. Now that he was overseas, these were sent to him by his classmate. Not only did Lin Guomin have prestige in the Lin family, but he was also trusted by hundreds of families in the Lin family village. Therefore, if Lin Zefan wanted to build a good foundation here, he had to pass Lin Guomin. Today's discussion was finally exchanged for Lin Guomin's full support. After all, the young Lin Guomin had once been on the battlefield!
Although the once high-spirited youth had entered his sixties, his heart was still filled with pride. Now that his grandson had rekindled this flame, he naturally could not be stopped!!!
