Chapter 444 Burial! (First Update!)

The road in front of the canteen was winding and winding. Lin Xingwang was walking in front, shouting as he walked.

"Sangong Lin is back home!"

"Mistress Lin is back home!"

He walked in front, and Lin Yu walked behind holding two urns, following the winding road up the mountain, through the woods, through the farmland, and finally stopped in the middle of a col formed by two mountains.

The natural mountain col has been artificially trimmed and turned into step-by-step earth steps.

The steps are divided into five sections by four top-down roads, and graves are evenly scattered on each section.

There are also a large number of cypress trees scattered around these tombs. These cypress trees are lush and green. Even the cold around the Spring Festival still does not stop the growth of these cypress trees.

Lin Xingwang took off another bunch of firecrackers in his arms, lit them, threw them on the ground, shouted at the cemetery, and then led Lin Yu to the earthen steps on the right.

Walking up the dug dirt road, the two finally stopped at the right edge of the col. In front of them, four graves were scattered.

From left to right, the names of the tomb owners are Lin Yuantiao, Ma Xiaoju, Lin Yuanxu, and Quan Liyan.

Among them, Lin Yuanxu's tomb looks the oldest, at least...several decades.

The title above also uses Aiko.

Above these four tombs, there are two more tombs.

In front of these six graves, there are still traces of burning incense candles.

Lifting his finger to the two tombs on the far left, Lin Xingwang explained:

"These two graves are the graves of your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. If you came here in 1997, you could still see them. At that time, your father loved to eat his pears the most."

"I helped his children out a few years ago and they all moved out."

"I only come back during the holidays to pay my respects to the old man."

"The grave in the middle belongs to your second grandma. She passed away the year before last. Before she left, she said she was going to apologize to your great-grandfather and the others for not taking good care of your father."

"The grave in the middle was built by your great-grandfather and others in order to deceive others when I was a soldier and left with the army. According to your great-grandfather, it contained a jar of black goat ashes."

"Every time I talk about this, your uncle can't help but wipe his mouth. He says the black goat meat is really delicious."

"Next to here are the graves reserved for your grandparents. I originally planned to make a tomb for them, but since you are here, forget it."

"A little further to the side is where your fourth grandpa and fourth grandma are."

"At that time, like your grandfather, he joined the army, but instead of going to fight the Americans, he went to Guicheng."

"I'll make my home there now. I'll probably die before I come back."

"Maybe I won't come back even if I die."

"The two graves above are those of your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

"A little further up, those two graves are the graves of your wife's grandfather and your wife's grandmother."

"It was them and several other people of the same clan who came here from Linjiatai in Langjiu Town carrying baskets."

"After some time, when the new round of revision of the Golden Elixir Book is completed, I will leave a copy for you."

"From now on, your team will have to rely on you."

After the explanation, Lin Xingwang turned around and shouted to the old and young behind him:

"Do it! Dig!"

Following his shout, the old and young people standing below came to the two of them with hoes and shovels, and began to dig vigorously at the location pointed by Lin Xingwang.

After more than half an hour, two grave pits that could fit normal coffins were dug out.

The people behind brought the coffin and carefully put it into it. Then, Lin Yu put the urn that he had been holding in his arms into the coffin.

Under Lin Xingwang's guidance, he picked up the shovel and dug a few shovels of soil symbolically.

As the shovels of soil fell, Lin Xingwang opened his voice and shouted:

"Filial son, kneel down and say goodbye!"

Lin Yu turned around silently and knelt down with his back to the tomb pit.

Seeing him turn around, the people next to him also picked up pickaxes and shovels and began to fill the grave with soil. Lin Xingwang stood behind Lin Yu and began to help him untie the Xiaopa hanging on his head.

After more than half an hour passed, two small mounds of soil appeared on the steps.

"It's time to get up!" Lin Xingwang said calmly. Lin Yu stood up following the voice and turned to look at the two graves in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Xingwang's voice sounded again: "To be honest, when I see you, I think of your grandfather again when he was a child."

"And what your dad looked like when he was little."

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"That year, the family didn't have enough food. Your uncle was the mainstay and couldn't leave."

"Your grandfather is still young, and your fourth grandfather is even younger."

"So, I left with the large army. Once I left, I actually had no intention of coming back, because no one knew who would die on the way and who would reach the end."

"I'm lucky, I came back alive with all my facial hair and all shadows."

"Then your grandfather saw my majestic appearance and joined the army to fight the Americans."

"I don't know what he learned in the army. Later, he transferred to Shandong Province."

"I heard that I did pretty well there and didn't embarrass the Lin family."

"Later, a marriage was arranged for him at home, and then your father was born. When he was young, your father was like a monkey."

"I have always carried him with me, watching him grow up from a young age to an adult. Later, this monkey even knew how to steal other people's cabbage."

"It's a pity that after stealing other people's cabbage, I was beaten up. That time, if I had left a little later, your father might have died."

"But he got through it, and I thought that was the end of it for him."

"But I didn't expect that it was fine, but suddenly it was gone."

"People!"

After letting out a long sigh, Lin Xingwang turned around, his brows lowered, he looked at Lin Yu in front of him and asked:

"Wang Ji called and said, you work in the General Staff Department, so I won't ask you about your job. So, do you want me to help you ask which girl is suitable?"

"Girls from Guizhou Province are quite enthusiastic."

"No need." Lin Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, besides bringing back the ashes of my grandparents, I also have some other things to do when I come back this time."

"I may need your help here, Second Master."

"Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Xingwang raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The weather in the first month of the year was not good and it was very foggy.

There's a chance of drizzle at any time.

Taking the shovel next to him in his hand, he waved his big hand and pointed to the village at the foot of the mountain: "Let's go, it's too cold outside. Go back and make a fire, and talk slowly."

With his wave of his hand, people in the cemetery turned around one after another and walked towards the stockade.

Walking behind the crowd, Lin Xingwang shouted loudly: "When we return to the village later, everyone who comes to help should go to my place and get a pack of soy sauce, a pack of vinegar, a pack of cigarettes, a pack of salt, and a pack of sugar." ”

Hearing something, the return journey becomes shorter.

In just about 10 minutes, a group of people returned to the canteen and delivered the promised items. Lin Xingwang returned to the fire pit, lit the fire, and whispered:

"Tell me, where do you need my help?"

Lin Yu did not respond directly. Instead, he went back to the car, took some information, returned to Lin Xingwang, handed the information to the other party, and then said:

"These two pieces of information, one is the GDP data of Lincheng, and the other is the GDP data of Lanling City."

"As for helping me, I would like to ask my second grandfather to help me use your contacts to help me contact the people responsible for the construction of the port in Guizhou Province."

"It doesn't matter if it's within the city or the province."

Listening to this explanation, Lin Xingwang slowly put down the data in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at his grandnephew in front of him with confusion.

After a long time, he frowned and said with confusion:

"If I remember correctly, the General Staff Department has nothing to do with construction."

"You...are you sure nothing will go wrong?"

"My personal information is indeed in the staff department, but in addition to my identity as the staff department, I also have another identity."

While talking, Lin Yu opened the zipper, took out a business card from his breast pocket, and handed it over.

Reaching out to take the business card, Lin Xingwang frowned and looked at it for a long time under the light of the fire. After realizing it, he raised his head. There was still doubt in his eyes:

"Base 567? Reorganized into Rheinsteel?"

Lin Yu took the two documents on the ground in his hands, dusted them off, and explained:

"I just assumed the title of a staff member, and the troops were not involved. I am mainly responsible for base 567 and doing some inconvenient work."

"The role of the 567 base is actually an excavator to dig out the wall in front of us so that we can see the scenery behind."

"I came here this time because I have a project that I want to land in Qian Province. It's a big project."

"So, I need your help, Grandpa Second. After all, you have worked here for so many years, you know a lot of people, and you can speak a few words about everything."

"These two sentences can sometimes save us a year or two, as well as millions of dollars."

Lin Xingwang didn't feel anything about Lin Yu's flattery. He took the two pieces of information in Lin Yu's hands and read them carefully again.

At this glance, we can see the problem.

In 2002, Lincheng's GDP was 35.888 billion.

The opposite information is Lanling's GDP statistics table.

In 2001, it was 27.68 billion yuan.

In 2002, it was 34.233 billion yuan.

The improvement speed is very fast and very strong.

But the problem lies in 2003, which has just passed, about 20 days in 2003, according to the official statistics of Lanling City.

GDP in 2003 increased by more than 30 billion yuan, from 34.233 billion yuan in 2002 to 67.342 billion yuan.

Lin Xingwang has never been engaged in economic affairs-related work, but he has met many people related to economic affairs and has learned some basic knowledge. Although not much, he used it to deal with some simple economic crimes while serving in the Public Security Bureau. , that's more than enough.

When it comes to economics, there is a very basic rule.

Money doesn't come out of thin air.

As long as you remember this, no matter how much money you make, it will become traceable.

Lanling City's GDP growth rate from 2001 to 2002 can be considered a rapid increase, but it is also within the normal economic range.

But the increase in 2003 was a bit too scary, rising by more than 30 billion yuan.

Using the law that money does not come out of thin air to analyze, we will find that among the more than 30 billion yuan, after deducting the normal growth, there is a large amount of money whose origin cannot be explained.

Pressing the number with his skinny fingers, Lin Xingwang asked:

"Is there something wrong with Lanling City's statistics? Or are they deliberately falsifying the numbers?"

"Neither!" Lin Yu shook his head gently, then raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at his chest:

"The more than 30 billion yuan of funds came from us."

"It was Rheinsteel, which I control, that brought more than 30 billion yuan of GDP to this city."

"In 2003, in the past year, we built a large number of factories, research institutes, and schools."

"These factories and research institutes have earned various profits for Rheinsteel, but unfortunately, as an eastern city, Lanling and several surrounding cities have their own 's natural defects. "

"This defect is electricity. "

"Several research institutes under my command are fully powered, and factories are fully powered, which almost consumes 70% of Lanling City's electricity. "

"This is a very scary number. "

"But the problem is that if we want greater development, we need to consume more electricity. "

"But the electricity in Lanling, and even the entire Lu Province, has reached a limit. There is a problem with the power supply, but we can't stop. "

"We can only think of a way. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. "

"So, I will find you, my second grandfather, and ask for your help. "

After speaking, Lin Yu cast his eyes on Lin Xingwang in front of him, quietly waiting for the other party's reply.

Next to him, the fire was crackling and burning. Perhaps because the firewood was too wet, the flames in the wood were sometimes high and sometimes low, and the color was constantly changing.

These changing colors fell on Lin Xingwang's face, making the old man a little dilemma.

He pulled the statistical data and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Hundreds or even hundreds of billions of GDP is enough to drive a city crazy.

There are old friends everywhere. If you favor one over the other, you will definitely be scolded by those old bastards.

After a long time, Lin Xingwang slowly raised his head and said, "I can only help you contact old friends, and then let them convey your ideas. You must remember to throw the contradiction to them."

"Let them decide for themselves."

"Because this kind of project will drive other cities crazy if it falls into any city in Guizhou Province."

"If you open your mouth, it will attract firepower to your head, which will not be good for subsequent production."

"I save it." Lin Yu nodded calmly and explained:

"I have asked people to prepare the relevant research report, and I have first-hand information about Shenzhen City. It's not difficult to convince people."

"The problem is that I need to contact these people first before I can have a good chat with them. It's better to have a local lead the way than to bump into them head first and get a bump."

These words made Lin Xingwang very satisfied. He nodded, rubbed Lin Yu's dog head with his hand, and said with a smile:

"Your brain is better than your father and your grandfather."

"I have helped the younger generations of the old family and the fourth family, so I can't forget you, the third family."

"Tonight, you should have a good rest here. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Lincheng."

"Now, follow me to recognize people."
