Time is worthless in the eyes of the immortals, but in the eyes of entrepreneurs, time is worth every penny.
Ever since Lin Xianyin took the Dragon Bone Longevity Pill, Lin Qiming has been focusing on developing his forces.
Not only did he further recruit soldiers for the guards, he also constantly guided the factories under his name to innovate technology with various technological development routes that were ahead of the times that he had seen before the time travel.
At the same time, he did not forget to exert influence on the guards. He would go back to the manor every week to give a speech to all the guards. When distributing money every month, he would personally hand the money to the commander in front of everyone, and then let the officers at the first level distribute it to each soldier on the spot to ensure that no one could withhold the soldiers’ wages.
This move was naturally imitated from Yuan Datou’s, personally distributing money to the soldiers directly, so that the soldiers could feel that they could get the care of the supreme commander, and at the same time, the soldiers also made it clear to whom they would be loyal, thereby enhancing his prestige among the soldiers and making the soldiers more loyal.
In addition, Lin Qiming often preached the ideas of loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, and indoctrinated the soldiers of the guard team, making them realize that only by being loyal to themselves can they have a better life. This method of ideological control has effectively enhanced the control over the soldiers.
It is natural to place confidants and cultivate confidants. All those who hold management positions in the guard team must first be transferred to the side to observe and cultivate, and only after their loyalty is confirmed will they be sent back to the guard team of the manor to serve.
After that, it is a problem to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the guard team.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite retired famous generals from various countries to serve as senior instructors, especially General Edward von Puckel invited from the Kingdom of Prussia.
He reorganized the training system of new recruits trained by Li Luoda in accordance with the”597″ guardian god, and opened a military study class in the guard team to teach more scientific and effective training methods and professional command and combat knowledge.
Unfortunately, the general served for only three months before he was recalled to his homeland by an order from the Prussian royal family. However, the recruit training system and military study classes he established were passed down, and several students he taught continued to train and educate the guards.
However, before General Edward von Puckel left, he left a word that enlightened Lin Qiming.
“Fighting a war does not only rely on brave and skilled soldiers, but also on advanced weapons and equipment, excellent logistical supplies, efficient and accurate command and other factors. In the final analysis, besides the human factor, there is the money factor.”
This is similar to the nine-character mantra that Liu Bowen once advised Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The strategy of building high walls and storing up grain to slowly become king is not outdated even now. Blindly expanding the army does not necessarily lead to victory.
After reflection, Lin Qiming decided to develop both economic development and military strength.
He used the large amount of cash brought by the sale of Shenlong Dan to strongly expand the industrial scale of his banking, real estate, shipping, salt, tea, tobacco, textiles, food, arms and other industries, and formed a group company of astonishing scale, step by step devouring the market of other related enterprises, and the products he produced were all very successful. The market share of products is constantly increasing.
In this process, there will naturally be resistance from vested interests, but facing the well-funded and well-connected Lin Group, it is simply unable to reverse the disadvantage. Moreover, some tricks are an opportunity for the Lin Group, which has already woven a solid network of relationships with the powerful and wealthy, to gain leverage over the other side.
Neither the rotation of the Prime Minister of Ghana nor the internal party struggles in the United States have affected the rapid development of the Lin Group.
With the increasing wealth, Lin Qiming’s power and influence in the two countries have gradually penetrated into all levels.
Countless people in the private sector dream of working in his company, and the upper class has also dreamed of working in his company.
They cannot do without the world-leading products of the Lin Group, especially the Shenlong Pill that the powerful dream of.
In the following years, whether it was the Lin Manor or the Lin Group, as well as the training and expansion of the guard team, they all implemented the development strategy set before step by step.
With enough influence and strength, countless scientific and technological talents rushed to offer their olive branches to Lin Qiming.
He also accepted everyone who came. According to his memories before the time travel, after screening out useful scientific and technological talents, he spent a huge amount of money to build the best laboratories for them and fully supported them in researching new technologies and new theories.
The saying that science and technology are the greatest productivity may be true in… It does not apply in the world of gods and demons, but it is the truth in the world of ordinary mortals.
The continuous innovation of scientific theories and practical research has brought more advanced production tools and higher production efficiency.
After the products are put on the market, more wealth is earned to invest in new technology research and development, forming a positive closed loop, which has helped the Lin Group to leapfrog development at a speed that exceeds the times.
After the first internal combustion engine was developed from the laboratory, Lin Qiming was more determined to continue to expand the recruitment and investment in scientific and technological talents, which brought the internal combustion engine to the market more than 20 years ahead of schedule.
It can be seen that the high-tech industry is the industry that can truly promote social development and progress.
“Cars, airplanes, internal combustion engine trains, new industries are about to be born. If I don’t get involved, I will be ashamed of my feat of bringing internal combustion engine technology to the market ahead of time.”
After Christmas, he took Tiffany and Lin Xianyin to various places in Miracle to inspect, select the factory sites of new industries, and make industrial layout in advance.
And smart people never put their eggs in one basket. Naturally, a batch of similar factories should be built in Ghana, and the scale will be several times that of Miracle. After all, this is his home base and has more security.
For a deeper plan, the cutting-edge technology laboratories built in Miracle will also be built in Ghana one after another, and more advanced new laboratories will be built in Edmonton.
This time, Lin Qiming indulged in his addiction to spending money like water, throwing out large amounts of US dollars and British pounds, and buying a lot of land in Ghana and Miracle. The intensified social unrest in Lijian made the land less and less valuable, and the places he picked were not fought over, but they were very critical locations in the future development of the city.
Ghana had been peaceful for a long time, and the price of land remained high. Even if he personally went to buy the land, he could not get a lower price than in Lijian. It cost a lot of money to buy the land he liked.
After more than half a year of investigating and buying land in the two countries, Lin Qiming fully realized how difficult it was to do the big things he wanted to do in this era.
Especially in the north of Lijian, where the wave of abolitionism was rising and the output value of capitalist industry was increasing, those politicians and the helpless people who shouted for freedom for slaves were…
The blind people who follow the trend are like blind people who cannot see that slaves have only been changed from being locked up on plantations to being locked up in factories and specific communities, which means that they have essentially changed from serfs to working slaves.
The funny thing is that the apes who have stopped evolving buy into this.
Although they still do not have the freedom to enter and exit any place and do not have the power and dignity, they also ignore the separate black and white areas in all free state cities, which essentially treats them as slaves, and fanatically praise politicians who support abolitionism.
The social problems such as theft, robbery, and adultery caused by this are turned a blind eye by everyone in the free state.
Anyway, when the police catch the apes who have committed the crime, they will empty the magazines.
The problem is solved if the person dies.
But they ignore this. After being released from the plantation, these black-skinned guys felt that they were also human beings. Naturally, they would take revenge on the people who enslaved them before, and putting a hat on their former white masters was their favorite thing to do.
Lin Qiming also discovered that it was not only the southern camp that could unite, but also the victims of the northern free states could be pulled to his side when the uprising started. Even after revealing the official scam that covered all this, most people would become strong supporters of his side.
In this way, he presided over the development of his industry and military strength, while living a life of love with the two women, silently waiting for the day of the meeting. In the late winter of 1860, a secret telegram from the Howlett family broke the peace of the lakeside villa.
After forcing himself to see his grandson get married, old Mr. Howlett finally relaxed the tight string in his heart and passed away when the severe cold was about to pass.
As a close friend of James Howlett, Lin Qiming was naturally invited to attend the funeral.
He did not waste any time and took the two girls through the portal and returned to the Lin family manor.
The three of them changed into solemn black clothes and solemnly came to the place where John Howlett was buried under the escort of a team of guards.
Lin Qiming brought the two girls to the funeral of old Howlett, and after silently greeting James Howlett, he listened to the priest reading the eulogy…..
“Old Mr. Howlett was called by the grace of God to go to heaven to enjoy peace. He is our respected, upright and brave predecessor!”
“His life was a life of struggle, from having nothing to building……”
Father Pickford spoke solemnly and affectionately. Crows that thought they had carrion to eat landed on nearby trees, making mournful cries, which made the atmosphere even more sad and heavy.
Elizabeth Howlett, with an aged face, stood expressionless in the front row, as if Old Howlett had nothing to do with her. Her black nun robe fluttered in the wind.
James Howlett bit his lips tightly, with hatred for his mother in his eyes.
He understood that whether it was the death of his nominal father John Howlett or the death of his grandfather Old Howlett, who had loved him since childhood, was actually due to the fact that she suffered a severe mental blow after her affair with the gardener was exposed, which led to the gradual deterioration of her body.
Standing next to the new head of the Howlett family was Rose O’Hara, who had just married him not long ago. She was looking at her husband with a worried look on her face, and couldn’t help but reach out and hold his large palm.
After the memorial service, James Howlett and others laid flowers, and then silently took a shovel and buried old Howlett’s coffin with his own hands, just like his grandfather buried his nominal father John Howlett.
Most of the invited relatives and friends left, but Lin Qiming stood not far away, waiting silently with Tiffana and Lin Xianyin. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
After filling his grandfather’s grave, James Howlett and Rose O’Hara walked over hand in hand and bowed solemnly.
“”I’m sorry, Brother Lin, I kept you waiting for so long. My mind was a little confused and I was a little slow!”
He turned to his newlywed wife and said softly,
“Rose, you and the two ladies can go to the side and chat about women’s topics. I will talk to Brother Lin about some serious matters.
Rose O’Hara obediently walked away with Tiffany and Lin Xianyin, and talked about makeup and opera, which women are most interested in. Soon, the strangeness was eliminated and they got along like sisters who had been separated for many years.[]
Lin Qiming patted James Howlett on the shoulder, looked toward the mountains in the distance, sighed and said
“If old Mr. Howlett had not refused to take the pill, I could have saved him.”
“It’s a pity that he was worried that John would be too lonely in heaven, so he insisted on accepting his own death. It’s also painful for you to bear the grief of losing your loved ones.”
Before old Howlett died, he specially refined a furnace of Longgu Huasheng Dan. But the old man who missed his beloved son insisted on accepting the arrangement of fate after seeing that his grandson could control the family alone, and claimed that a life without death is a complete life.
James Howlett took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice with bloodshot eyes.
“Brother Lin, when are we going to start? I need to kill to make myself forget my sorrow!”
“With our current military strength, even if we leave aside the plantation owners and slave owners in the south of the United States, we may still be able to achieve a complete victory. I don’t understand why we have to wait?”
He tried his best to control his emotions that were about to get out of control, and the bone claws on his fists faintly pierced his flesh.
Lin Qiming turned his head to look in the direction of the women and said earnestly
“It’s almost here, at the latest next year, the opportunity I’ve been waiting for will come!”
“We in Daxia insist on having a legitimate reason to send troops to war. We don’t wait for the Southern slave owners to ask us for help because they start fighting among themselves. Sending troops in advance is an invasion, and no one will accept the rule of an invader.”
“Now that we have a legitimate reason to send troops, we are the savior of the beautiful people. They should be grateful to us. At this time, dividing the spoils will reduce the resistance of most people.”
James Hollett nodded, but the bloodshot in his eyes became even more terrifying.
“Take advantage of this time to have a baby with Rose O’Hara, otherwise you won’t be able to go home for a long time. I hope to hear good news from you before the war begins!”
Patting his shoulder again, Lin Qiming waved to the two women and took them on the luxurious carriage. The four horses galloped towards the Lin’s Manor under the whip of the coachman, and the guards behind them followed one after another, like a giant dragon about to take off, raising snowflakes and dust all the way.
