Lin Fan's motorcade drove all the way from the airport through a large town.
This town is a small city providing various supplies for the Lin family. Most of the people living here are the guards and servants of the Lin family.
In the past, when Lin Fan was a child, there were more people living in his ancestral place.
There are many people living in this small town, but up to now, although the town is still magnificent in appearance.
But when you enter it, you will find that it has already become a depression.
Because most of the Lin family left and settled outside.
As a result, most of the servants living in the town have left, leaving less than one tenth of the town.
In the bustling small cities of the past, the crowds on the streets have long disappeared. At this time, it is cold and quiet.
Through the town, Lin Fan thought, this may be a sign of the decline of the Lin family.
The ancestral land, which symbolizes unity, is now scattered.
It's easy for people living here to disperse, but it's hard for them to unite again.
Of course, the Lin family is still a powerful super family, and its decline is not instantaneous.
Relying on the accumulated information of hundreds of years, even if it is weak now, it still makes others awe.
"Young master, since the family was controlled by the Council, it has become less and less powerful in the past. You say that once the family falls down, what good will it do to those members of the Council?" Lin Huasheng said indignantly.
As Lin Fan's old housekeeper, he is also a member of the Lin family. He is both prosperous and disadvantaged.
As for the changes of the family over the years, Lin Watson knows better than anyone else.
But he is just a housekeeper and Lin Fan's housekeeper.
Want to prop up the whole family, Lin Watson is powerless, can only see in the eye, anxious in the heart.
However, even Lin fan has nothing to do with it.
Although he is the heir, but at the same time, Lin Fan also lost his family power.
Lin fan is also powerless to make any changes to his family.
"In fact, many members of the family are aware of the potential crisis, but no one can change the situation." Lin Huasheng sighed.
As a huge superfamily, the members of the Lin family are not all rice bowls, they are basically elites.
They are not short-sighted, and they can all see where the family's declining trend and root are.
However, the reality is often very ridiculous.
There is something wrong in the Lin family, and all the family members have seen it, and some of them want to make changes.
But because of all kinds of interest disputes, so deep in the quagmire, they are difficult to protect themselves, not to mention what they have done for the whole family.
Listening to Lin Huasheng's complaints, Lin Fan sneered: "what else can be changed? The Lin family has been rotten from the root for a long time. No matter how many branches and leaves are built, it can't change the ending of withering slowly! It's better to wait for a new sprout than to give him another life
This is too heartless, even Lin Wanqi was stunned.
"But brother, aren't you also a direct member of Lin's family, just watching the whole family fall down?"
Lin Fan's indifferent face said: "what kind of lineage am I? The successor's identity is just nominal. In the end, when I was driven out, I was no longer regarded as a member here."
"This Young master, after all, this is the foundation laid by the ancestors of the Lin family. Do you really have the heart to give up? " Lin Huasheng asked.
Lin Fan shook his head slightly: "although the wealth left by our ancestors is good, it is easy to make people lazy and greedy. Wealth can be created by ourselves, not given by our ancestors."
Lin Huasheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed sincerely: "young master, your growth really makes me look at it with new eyes."
After a long drive through the town, the motorcade finally arrived near the palace community.
When she saw it in the distance, Lin Wanqi only thought it was magnificent.
At this time came near, but also found that the palace is too grand.
The palace walls stretching out of sight are as boundless as if they were tens of meters high.
What's more, it gives people the feeling of massiness. When you walk to the wall, you will experience an indescribable pressure.
Looking at the texture of all kinds of stone carvings on the wall, we can realize how rich the Lin family has in history.
Inside the palace walls, from the foot of the mountain to the hillside, are all magnificent palaces with various double eaves and brackets.
Walking out of the car, Lin Wanqi suddenly had a doubt in her heart.
"Brother, why are the palace walls built so tall here? Are you still worried about being attacked?"Lin Wanqi couldn't understand that the ancestral place of the Lin family was on the glacier.
Thousands of miles are deserted, only this valley can be regarded as a paradise on earth.
And the people who live here are all from the Lin family, which is rare for outsiders.
It's impossible to be attacked on a large scale. How could the high walls outside the palace be built so high.
Lin Fan explained: "this is not to prevent anything. After all, the Lin family has been here for hundreds of years and has never been threatened by foreign forces."
"Then why?"
"As for why the palace walls and internal palaces were built so grand and tall, it was purely to show off its strength." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Ah, it's for this..." Lin Wanqi was stunned.
I didn't expect that in order to show off, Lin's ancestors even spared no expense in building such a huge palace.
Actually, it's not that outsiders are never allowed to enter here.
The ancestral land of the Lin family is not a forbidden area. In the past, the family had big activities or other needs.
Visitors from outside are often invited to visit. Those who don't come here only need to see the palace stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
It's true that they will be shocked by the strength of the Lin family from the bottom of their hearts.
This is more spectacular than the Afang palace two thousand years ago. In fact, it was not built overnight.
The first ancestors of the Lin family decided to settle here after they found it.
In the beginning, it was just a small village built here.
But because of its unique geographical location and superior natural environment.
The Lin family gradually developed, after the gradual accumulation of the first few generations.
At the beginning of the fifth generation, contact and trade with the outside world began.
