Chapter 2 Nanming Town
Carrying the salute, Jiang Lin came to Nanming Town.
Shanyin County, where Nanming Town is located, is close to Shenjiang City. Due to the vigorous development of the national government, the economic development of the surrounding counties and towns is also good. There are many businessmen and peddlers, and it looks very lively.
Jiang Lin looked east and west, and found that the three main streets in Nanming Town were relatively prosperous, which opened his eyes. Although the buildings were not as good as any other town in reality, the number of people coming and going was higher than that of ordinary streets. The town is much stronger.
"Let's go and take a look, freshly baked buns~"
"Scallion wrapped stew, green onion wrapped stew, delicious green onion wrapped stew~"
. . .
Along the way, Jiang Lin frowned quickly. Although Nanming Town was prosperous, the disheveled faces of beggars and passers-by everywhere on the roadside also showed that not everyone could live well.
There are many ragged women and neat children on the street, who were dismissed by the well-dressed people in disgust, and before they dared to say anything, they nodded and ran away.
"Oh, the way of the world is such that one person's power is hard to change." Jiang Lin sighed, and then searched for Jiang's family.
The Jiang family is the absolute overlord in Nanming Town, so of course it is very easy to find.
Not long after, Jiang Lin saw the location of the Jiang family ancestral hall.
An old man leaned against the door of the ancestral hall and smoked a pipe. Seeing Jiang Lin approaching the Jiang family ancestral hall, he quickly stood up and stopped him and asked, "My lord, this is the ancestral hall of our Jiang family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. May I ask if you have any advice?" What's the matter?"
Jiang Lin was dressed in a black suit, and he didn't look like an ordinary person. He might be the young master of some family. The old man didn't dare to speak harshly.
Jiang Lin waved his hand quickly, he didn't dare to let any of his ancestors call him master.
"Grandpa, I'm not a master. My name is Jiang Lin. I'm the son of Jiang Yuechuan. I'm here to recognize my ancestors."
"What? Jiang Yuechuan? That bastard has a son?" The old man stared at Jiang Lin.
Looking at Jiang Lin's face, he was somewhat similar to Jiang Yuechuan.
In fact, Jiang Yuechuan is the second uncle of Grandpa Jiang Lin's grandfather. He went out to wander around in the early years, but he has never heard from him. It was not until the millennium later that the descendants of Jiang's family accidentally found some news about Jiang Yuechuan in the United States. Years passed, and there was only one bone, nothing else.
In the name of Jiang Lin's grandfather and son, absolutely no one can find out the problem.
"Wait a minute, it's a big deal to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan. I'll call the patriarch and other patriarchs to make a decision."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Seeing the old man walking away with a cane, Jiang Lin could only wait on the spot.
Not long after, Jiang Lin saw a group of people walking towards him from a distance. The leader was a slightly old-looking figure, wearing a satin vest, who looked quite energetic, but the other clans Laodu is just ordinary sackcloth, which makes Jiang Heng very puzzled.
"Where is it? Where is Yue Chuan's son?" the leader asked loudly.
Next to him was the old man who went to call for someone just now, pointing at Jiang Lin with a walking stick: "It's that young man, I don't know if it's true or not, so I came here to ask the big guy to come and have a look."
When everyone came to Jiang Lin, they began to scrutinize him carefully.
"I am Jiang Yuehai, the head of the Jiang family. You said you are Yuechuan's son?"
Jiang Lin said happily, "Uncle, my father told me about you. I am Jiang Lin, the son of Jiang Yuechuan."
Jiang Yuehai is the real ancestor of the Jiang family, and his younger brother is Jiang Yuechuan.
"It's really Yue Chuan's son, okay, okay." Jiang Yuehai hasn't seen his younger brother for many years, and he hasn't even heard of his younger brother. Now seeing his younger brother's son, he feels very relieved.
"Jiang Lin, where's your father?" Jiang Yuehai asked with some expectation.
Jiang Lin's eyes dimmed quickly, and tears soon flowed down: "Uncle, Dad passed away in his early years, and he told me to come back from America to visit you, saying that this is the root of my Jiang family. I’ll hurry back and recognize my ancestors.”
Although Jiang Yuehai was expected to leave early, he was still a little sad. His tall figure suddenly became sluggish, and he looked at Jiang Lin with complicated eyes and said, "Well, since Yuechuan has left, it will be the same when you come back. I will come back in two days." We will hold a clan meeting so that you can recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
"Thank you uncle." Jiang Lin thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, thank you. If your father hadn't left, maybe he would be the patriarch now. He is much smarter than me. It's a pity that he has great ambitions. He insists on going to America like others, alas!"
. . .
With the help of the patriarch, Jiang Lin moved into the house left by Jiang Yuechuan. Due to years of disrepair, the house was dilapidated. However, Jiang Yuehai's family would come to clean it from time to time, so they could still live in it, but it needed to be repaired. It still needs to be repaired, otherwise it will be bad if the house collapses one day when you fall asleep.
"Brother Dong, slow down." The one who took the lead in helping Jiang Lin was Jiang Chengdong, Jiang Yuehai's son, who was also Jiang Lin's nominal cousin.
Of course, according to Jiang Lin's identity, Jiang Chengdong should be regarded as his grandfather's grandfather, as well as his own family.
Jiang Lin has already learned that although the Jiang family has a large number of clansmen in Nanming Town, they are generally poor. The family has only four shops in the three streets of the town, and all the income they get is filled into the clan and used on the clansmen. .
The Changjiang Yuehai family's home is not a courtyard house, but an ordinary small yard. The most valuable things in his home should be the cattle and the vest silk on the old man's body.
I heard from the clansmen that the patriarch was reluctant to wear the satin vest at ordinary times, and would only take it out and put it on when there were activities.
Jiang Lin pulled over a clansman who was helping, and the thin clansman hurriedly asked, "Brother Lin, what's the matter?"
Everyone knew Jiang Lin's identity, and by looking at his clothes, it was clear that he should be a rich man, so ordinary clansmen generally felt a little inferior in front of him.
"I remember your name is Xiao San'er, right? Xiao San'er, I just want to ask, why does our Jiang family have so many shops in this town, and what do you usually rely on for a living?"
Xiao San'er was stunned for a moment and said: "So that's what I was asking, Brother Lin, let me tell you that Shanyin County where we are located is close to Shenjiang River. I heard that it is very lively there, and it was rented out by foreigners. , there are many foreigners doing business there, and even our side has gained a lot of popularity, but Nanming Town has become more crowded in the past two or three years. The former Nanming Town is not as lively as it is now, but later the town There were too many people, so the clan spent money to open several shops, but unfortunately the business was not good, and they kept losing money, so in the end, four shops were simply left, and the others were closed."
"You said that outsiders are good at doing business. We can't compare to them. Recently, our clan has been discussing to find other ways. We have to bring some income to the clan."
Xiao San'er's words made Jiang Lin understand that Nanming Town has suddenly developed and has a close relationship with foreign businessmen, but Jiang's family doesn't know how to use their own advantages to cooperate with businessmen. strange.
Those who can open a shop to Shanyin Nanming have some connections behind it, and not ordinary people can open it.
Of course, the Jiang family has some innate advantages in Nanming Town, but they just don't know how to use them. According to the records of the Jiang family, it will take two years before the Jiang family can reach cooperation with these foreign businessmen.
In this way, the Jiang family has some self-protection strength when the war comes. Otherwise, how can the Jiang family be well preserved in this chaotic era for future generations.
