A vast map of the world hangs in the study, and the plots of land delineated in various colors are full of infinite reverie.

Lin Feng said slowly.

“If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, this is an old saying in Daxia, and it is also what I have said for a long time.”

“The foundation of the Lin family is talents, but the foundation of a strong foundation is the development of technology, attracting talents from all over the world to serve the Lin family, and always be the leader and not the ass!”

Lin Shuhao was excited, and the meaning of the old man’s words was that in the future, the Lin family would no longer have to be confined to Ghana, but would develop into a global force.

“Sir Wise, then I will reply to the application of the Ministry of Defense and approve their plan to retire the sail warship and build steam battleships instead!”

After Ghana became Dominion, the British Empire withdrew its fleet, and Defense Minister Schedall had to temporarily use outdated sail warships to secure territorial waters.

But those old antique ships are slow and have few guns, and they are often played by pirates, and sometimes they will lose their troops in the hands of pirates.

In order to curb the increasingly arrogant piracy and protect Ghana’s territorial waters and merchant ships, the Ministry of Defense had to turn to the Lin family and request a loan of 15 million pounds to build eight steam-powered dreadnought-class battleships.

“Steam battleships are also fast-out things, there is no need to spend money on them, the demolition technology of the internal combustion engine is complete, it is time to use it to create completely new military equipment.”

Lin Feng shook his head and vetoed his proposal.

At present, the main ships of European and American countries are the first generation of steam ironclad warships, and they have not yet developed high-power steam engines that can drive steel warships.

The internal combustion engine developed by the Lin family is more than 10 times more powerful than the steam engine, and a dreadnought-class warship built entirely of steel is only 6,800 tons, which is completely within the tolerance of the internal combustion engine.

If these ships use the latest self-loading reloading rifled guns and 360-spinning batteries, European and American naval ships are completely targets at sea.

However, relatively speaking, the construction process of internal combustion engines is slower than that of steam ironclads, and the construction of a warship often takes a year, or even more than two years.

Because of this, it is necessary to do it in one step, not to build steam ironclads, and let the Lin shipyard fully devote itself to the construction of new battleships.

“Yes, sir, subordinates will arrange this matter!”

Lin Shuhao bowed down to take orders.

Then the two talked about trivial matters and ended the conversation.

Seeing Lin Shuhao leave, Lin Feng sighed slightly, although the rapid promotion of scientific and technological development, but under the restrictions of the times and talents, it was an unexpected surprise to be able to toss out the internal combustion engine.

After all, it is easy for him to propose technical concepts, but it takes a long time to study principles and theories, and it is a long time to wait from verification of theories to actual production.

This is also one of the many development plans of the Lin family, such as dynamic generators, miniaturization of internal combustion engines, asphalt renovation of highways, construction of water conservancy projects on the Milhalton River and La Grande River, etc., which can not be achieved overnight in one or two years.

However, although many projects have progressed slowly, the Lin family has always prospered under his leadership, and the main problem now is not to settle for internal development, but to consolidate and continuously expand the influence and hard power of the Lin family, so that the major Western powers can recognize the family’s high political status.

He is thinking of borrowing the methods of the Yutai people to secretly manipulate the world, and lay out the beautiful Jian and the major Western powers, which may be the only way to solve the crisis caused by the arrival of the mutant mutation tide in the future.

At this time, Lin Yuanfeng trotted all the way and hurriedly came, and after entering the study, he said with a smile on his face.

“Sir, the construction of the Daming Palace has been completed, and the public is asking you to cut the ribbon!”

Since he began to build the Daming Palace, he has not had a good night’s sleep, and every day when he opens his eyes, he has to face countless bills, and a huge amount of money flows out like water.

If other investments can bring huge returns, Lin Yuanfeng will not be troubled, but the construction of the Daming Palace is pure and pure money, and the daily food expenses of workers are enough to 1,000 pounds, not to mention wages, building materials, and the money for developing construction machinery.

It has been more than 5 years since it was built in 1855, almost 6 years, and the pounds spent can fence the city of Edmund, and he can’t sleep all night long.

“I finally heard the good news today, let’s go and see it together!”

Lin Feng laughed, the construction of this Daming Palace began a few years ago, and he had never visited the site in person, but had only glanced at the busy construction site and the increasingly forming palace from a distance.

Stretching his waist, he put down the documents in his hand and walked out of the study.

“Okay sir!”

Lin Yuanfeng smiled and walked out of the main building with Lin Feng and walked towards the Daming Palace.

Seeing it from a distance, he hurriedly rushed over with several foremen.

“Please, sir!”

Several people knelt on the ground in a hurry, kowtowing three times in a row.

Lin Feng waved his hand, and only then did Gong Yanao and the others dare to get up.

“I heard that the Daming Palace has been built, you should write off the sins of the past for the first merit, and you will do it well in the future!”

“Bring the drawings to me first, how is the overall design effect?”

Gong Yiao beckoned to the few people behind, and someone immediately stepped forward holding the drawings.

When the huge drawings slowly unfolded, the magnificent architectural pattern of the Daming Palace was revealed in front of you.

Lin Yuanfeng looked at the drawings in shock, he was responsible for the family’s financial affairs on weekdays, and it was also the first time he saw the drawings of the Daming Palace.

The palace-like multi-storey buildings above, connected by aerial bridges, carved beams and paintings are magnificent, various dragon and phoenix auspicious motifs and birds and animals are carved into stone pillars and ridge eaves, water pipes and future power lines are cleverly hidden in them, and all windows are made of glass.

“This is really a perfect combination of classical beauty and modern building materials, even if the Qing emperor of the motherland dreams of it, it is difficult to imagine the beauty and grandeur of the Daming Palace.”

Lin Yuanfeng touched the drawings and muttered, he felt that it was worth spending so much money.

Compared with his excitement, Lin Feng was very calm, and he had seen more wonders and buildings from all over the world before crossing over, and the Daming Palace would not surprise him.

“You did a good job!”

Gong Yiao was a little disappointed, and the old man’s tone was too flat, as if the Daming Palace was ordinary.

“Thank you for the compliment, do you want to go to the palace to see if the furnishings on each floor need to be adjusted?”

He bent down respectfully and said with a flattering smile.

Lin Feng nodded, waved his hand and chuckled.

“Lead the way ahead, go and see!”

Soon, under the guidance of the public transmission ao, he came to the front of the Daming Palace.

The entire Daming Palace is composed of nine palace groups, each palace complex has 3 halls for family members to gather, and 1,000 staggered rooms, separated by royal gardens, when some small animals can be stocked and the fun of hunting can be experienced in the garden.

In the middle of the nine palace complexes is a huge artificial lake, and one-fifth of the earthwork of the Daming Palace is used to dig artificial lakes and canals that bring in living water from rivers such as the Saint-Louis River and the Nipigon River.

It is said that the canal is actually very wide, 50 meters wide and 20 meters deep river channel, small and medium-sized ships can reach the vicinity of Daming Palace unimpeded.

The central palace is undoubtedly the Qiankun Hall, which will be the palace where Lin Feng will handle family affairs in the future, and all kinds of conference halls and large and small auditoriums with complete functions are here, and it is also the place where important family meetings and banquets will be convened in the future.

After strolling around the Qiankun Hall with great interest, the time has come to the afternoon, which shows the huge palace buildings of the scale of the palace.

Lin Feng didn’t go to see other palaces either, and he didn’t have so much leisure time.

After arranging the finishing of the project and the distribution of workers’ rewards, he took Lin Yuanfeng back to the main building of the old mansion, and the Daming Palace could not move in for the time being until the smell of paint was dissipated by the ventilation.

As the contradictions and conflicts caused by the North-South antagonism in Meijian became more and more intense, and the politicians supported by the southern slave owners became more and more aggressive in Congress and the House, President Abraham Lin* has repeatedly invited Lin Feng to Meilijian to negotiate some important cooperation projects.

Lin Feng knew the situation on both sides that although the population and industrialization level of the north were higher than those in the south, they were not ready for war.

The South was well prepared militarily, thanks to the recently concluded Mexican-American War, the Southern army was highly qualified, its commanders were experienced, and there was covert assistance from Great Britain and Gaul.

The reason why Abraham Lin * was anxious to see Lin Feng was precisely because the Lin family had the power to influence the political situation in Ghana, as well as many new weapons and equipment, which were lacking in the north.

An invitation from the White Palace, important for future development!

Lin Feng not only wants to go, but also takes this opportunity to obtain more benefits!
