On February 8, 1923, the fourth page of the "Declaration" published a special telegram entitled "Jinghan Road Workers' Tide Yilie": Oriental News Agency Hankou Electric Cloud on the 6th, the alliance striking workers of the Jinghan Railway organized a death squad, and clashed with the armed army because of the destruction of dozens of tracks near Liujiamiao.

More than 30 workers were killed and more than 200 injured in the clashes, shocking both at home and abroad.

Shanghai's newspapers reported on the incident, condemning the atrocities of the Beiyang government, especially those in the concession.

Compared with the previous discussion about Sun Wukong, it can't help but make people sigh.

At this time, Lin Zixuan was not in Shanghai, but returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, as the eldest grandson of the family, it is natural for him to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors after getting married.

The Lin family's old residence is located in Linjiawan in the west city of Wuxi, which is the settlement of the Lin clan.

This is the first time Lin Zixuan has returned to the old mansion, and all the families of the Lin family have basically returned from all over the country, and dozens of people have gathered together, which is quite prosperous.

The rise of the Lin family began with Lin Zixuan's grandfather's generation.

The ancestors of the Lin family also had a big official, and they were prominent in the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestors of the Lin family moved from Jinling to Wuxi in the early years of orthodoxy in the Ming Dynasty, and since then they have taken root.

During the war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Li Xiucheng took Wuxi when he attacked Nanjing, causing the Lin family to suffer military disasters and war disasters, and the family fell into the middle of the road.

Lin Zixuan's grandfather, Lin Xitai, entered the blacksmith shop as an apprentice when he was a teenager, and when he became an adult, he worked as a bookkeeper and a master outside, barely supporting his family.

At that time, Shanghai was officially opened, and the center of Sino-foreign trade gradually moved from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

Foreign commodities and foreign capital have entered the Yangtze River gateway one after another, and banks have been opened.

Shanghai has entered a period of rapid development from an inconspicuous seaside county.

Like other Wuxi people, Lin Xitai went to Shanghai to pan for gold with enthusiasm, first working and studying in other people's money banks, and later opening his own money bank, which was the first pot of gold in the rise of the Lin family.

With the funds, Lin Xitai ran a silkworm shop in Shanghai, and returned to his hometown of Wuxi to set up a small flour mill.

These are the two pillar industries of the Lin family.

After years of operation, the small silkworm shop has become a Liuhe printing and dyeing factory, with four yarn factories and two dyeing factories, becoming a leading enterprise in Shanghai's textile industry and having the reputation of the textile king.

Xingmao Flour Mill has opened 12 branches in Shanghai, Wuxi, Hankou and other places.

In addition, the Lin family is also involved in the financial and construction industries.

Not only did he open money banks all over the country, but he also founded the Lin Commercial Bank in Shanghai, built dozens of bridges in Wuxi and Changzhou, and had a huge garden in the suburbs of Wuxi, called Lin Yuan.

Lim Hee-tae has three sons and five daughters.

The eldest son, Lin Boqing, inherited the textile industry, the second son, Lin Boming, inherited the flour mill, and the third son, Lin Boren, entered politics and held a public position in the Tianjin government.

The five daughters are basically married into wealthy families, three are in Suzhou and Wuxi, and the other two are in Shanghai.

This is the family genealogy in Lin Zixuan's memory, and now there are six third-generation males in the Lin family, he is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, so he naturally attracts much attention, and there are many other nephews and the like.

In the forest garden on the outskirts of Wuxi, dozens of people are bustling and very lively.

Lin Zixuan is not very accustomed to this kind of life, but socializing is always inevitable, so he took Feng Chengcheng around.

"Xiangrong, you have been very famous in the past two years, and the third uncle is calloused in Tianjin Weidu." Lin Boren said with a smile, "When do you come to Tianjin, many people ask me about you, you are here, and the third uncle also has face." ”

"Definitely, I must go to Tianjin to see the third uncle when I have time, I haven't been to the north yet." Lin Zixuan said with a smile.

"Cheng Cheng went to school in Beiping, and she is familiar with the north, so let her take you with you, and you won't get lost." Lin Boren quipped.

Lin Boren has been in officialdom for a long time, he is relatively tactful, Lin Zixuan is famous, he can also be used in officialdom, and having such a nephew saves him a lot of work, so he naturally deliberately envelops him.

The third generation of the Lin family is the "Xiang" generation, and Lin Zixuan's name is Lin Xiangrong, the word Zixuan.

The two chatted about the current situation in Tianjin and Beiping, and Lin Zixuan took his leave.

Lin Boren looked at Lin Zixuan's back, and was quite puzzled.

He lived in the Lin Mansion when he was studying in Shanghai, and it can be said that he grew up watching Lin Zixuan, and never found that Lin Zixuan was interested in literature.

Unexpectedly, this nephew would become a great writer after returning from studying abroad, and some scholars in Tianjin admired Lin Zixuan.

Do you want to send your two unsuccessful sons to study abroad?

Because of Lin Zixuan's reputation, he can be said to be in the limelight in the family, and he is praised everywhere, which makes him embarrassed.

Especially the other children of the Lin family, the girls are okay, and they adore this cousin or cousin.

But the boy was resentful, because he always compared them with Lin Zixuan.

According to later generations, Lin Zixuan is the "child of someone else's family".

Several of his aunts like to use Lin Zixuan's achievements to educate their children, and I am satisfied with what you can achieve half of your cousin's achievements.

As a result, these cousins or cousins didn't have much interest in Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan didn't find anything particularly outstanding among these people, perhaps because they were still in school.

However, he can see that there are a few ordinary styles that are more flamboyant and domineering, similar to those foreign fields in Shanghai, which are full of fireworks, and will be more restrained during family gatherings, and he doesn't know how to spend extravagantly on weekdays.

The so-called rich is only three generations, and the Lin family has reached a threshold after nearly a hundred years of development.

If there are a few powerful figures at the helm, then the Lin family may become a big family, otherwise it will decay like other families.

If you look at the Sheng family, the top family in Shanghai today, you can see that since Sheng Xuanhuai's death, the Sheng family has shown signs of decline.

He mentioned his worries to his father Lin Boqing, the Lin family was his foundation, and he didn't want this family to fall.

"Isn't there still you?" Lin Bo said lightly.

Lin Boqing is more satisfied with this son.

Although he doesn't know whether Lin Zixuan's film company has a future, it is not bad from the current point of view, for them of the older generation of businessmen, industry is fundamental.

If there is a person at the helm of the third generation of the Lin family, it is Lin Zixuan.

It's just that he is a little worried in his heart, since Lin Zixuan came back from the United States, he doesn't care much about the family's industry, only does his own thing, and seems to be deliberately alienated from the family.

Lin Boqing's vision of people is very accurate, he feels that this son is still that person, but he feels that there seems to be something different.

It seems that life in the United States has had a great impact on him, and he would not be allowed to study abroad if he knew it.

But looking back, if he hadn't been allowed to study abroad, maybe he wouldn't have achieved so much, it's really unclear.

Lin Boqing shook his head and put this thought behind him, he was going to worship his ancestors tomorrow, and there were still many things to prepare.
