When Jin Quan heard what Xiang Nan said, he waved his hand.
"Yanxi, your ideas are still immature. Our Jin family has been operating in the capital for hundreds of years. This is our root. How can we leave lightly.
Don't you hear that people are humble when they leave their hometown, let alone go abroad, even if they go to Shanghai, Jiangsu and eastern Guangdong, we are no better than the local snakes. When you get there, you will inevitably be bullied.
Moreover, things in the world are like a chess game, and if we stay in the capital, it will not be without a turnaround. "Jin Quan explained.
The so-called dragon cannot cross the river. The Jin family is now lonely and is not a strong dragon at all. It will be even more miserable if they go to the south to develop.
Furthermore, the capital is the political center. The so-called emperor takes turns, and this year he came to my house. Now the Feng clique has defeated the Zhili clique, and maybe in two years it will be the Zhili clique that defeats the Feng clique again.
This kind of warlord melee happens all year round, and there is no eternal winner.
As Xiang Nan said before, the great powers will support whichever side is weak and suppress whichever side is strong. In short, they will not allow any side to secure the world.
Now that the Fengcian faction is gaining momentum, perhaps in another two years, its power will be weakened. Therefore, he would rather wait for the opportunity in the capital than withdraw from the political center now.
[In view of the general environment,
Seeing him say this, Xiang Nan knew that Jin Quan had not given up on politics yet, and that he still wanted to make a comeback at this stage.
But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame him.
The Jin family has held hairpins for generations, and no one is lower than a second-grade official. Jin Quan has been influenced by this since he was a child. He has been involved in politics since he was young and has been in politics for more than 30 years now.
It can be said that he has been an official all his life, and now he is asked to give up this thought and retire peacefully to take care of his old age. It is strange that he can accept it.
…
"In that case, what is father going to do?" Xiang Nan then asked.
"I'm going to pretend to be sick." Jin Quan explained, "Last time I was drunk and almost had a stroke. I will pretend to have a stroke from now on. And you, Yanxi, are going to support this family."
Xiang Nan was stunned and nodded, "Father, I understand. I will go out to find Bai Xiongqi and ask him to help arrange the duties of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother."
Seeing what he said, Jin Quan smiled happily.
In fact, as a politician, it is very common to be duplicitous, deceitful, and courting Qin and Mu Chu. Children only know right from wrong, adults only look at the pros and cons.
So Jin Quan was angry with Bai Xiongqi, not because of his betrayal, but because he lost his official position, but Bai Xiongqi wanted to be promoted, so he was inevitably a little uncomfortable.
Now he naturally doesn't want to abandon his old face and go to his former subordinates, so he has to let Xiang Nan do it for him. Who told him to be Bai Xiongqi's brother-in-law?
Xiang Nan also understood this, so he simply agreed.
To him, it makes no difference whether Bai Xiongqi joins the Zhili clique or the Fengcian clique. Anyway, both will be swept into the dustbin of history in the future.
Therefore, Xiang Nan does not think his betrayal is wrong, as long as he does not sacrifice the interests of the Jin family.
…
Subsequently, news of Jin Quan's stroke spread, and he announced that he would go to the mountains to recuperate and never get involved in worldly affairs again.
Mrs. Jin, the second concubine, and the third concubine all went to live with him in Xiangshan Villa.
Xiang Nan went to find Bai Xiongqi.
"Is the teacher okay? I've been so busy these days that I didn't even have time to visit him. Yanxi, if you see him, please say hello to me." Bai Xiongqi looked at Xiang Nan and said with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled when he heard this.
If it were before when Jin Quan was still the Prime Minister and Bai Xiongqi was the Chief Minister, whenever Jin Quan had a headache or fever, Bai Xiongqi would come to visit him as soon as possible and ask for his welfare.
Nowadays, Jin Quan is rumored to have suffered a stroke, but he has not shown up for several days, citing busy official duties. It can be seen that a proud cat is as fierce as a tiger, and a down-and-out phoenix is worse than a chicken. When people leave, the tea is cool, and times have changed.
"Thank you, brother. I will tell father." Xiang Nan then nodded and said, "Actually, father is the most
The ones I am worried about are my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. All three of them have been laid off and have nothing to do all day long. This is not an option. "
"That's right." Bai Xiong nodded, "In times like these, it's not easy to find a job."
"So brother, I'm here to beg you now. You must help." Xiang Nan smiled, "The only one we can rely on now is you."
"Well, based on our relationship, since you have already spoken, what else can I say." Bai Xiongqi smiled and said, "I only have one sister, Xiuzhu. If I can do all these things now, I won't be able to do anything in the future." Is it for her?"
Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you first, brother."
But he knew in his heart that Bai Xiongqi was deliberately manipulating him. Doesn't he know that Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen have all been laid off? ! Of course he knew, he was just waiting for the Jin family to come to beg him, just like he followed Jin Quan in front of him and behind him.
Fortunately, Bai Xiongqi really loved Bai Xiuzhu, so he also loved his brother-in-law. Otherwise, without this relationship, he would have crushed the Jin family to death long ago.
…
Later, under Bai Xiongqi's arrangement, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen were able to return to work in their original units.
This made all three of them breathe a sigh of relief, and Wu Peifang, Cheng Huichang, and Wang Yufen also had smiles on their faces.
They were really worried that the Jin family would be left with nothing and become increasingly doomed from now on, so they had been planning these days to see if they could share more of their property or find a way out.
Now that Feng Ju and others have returned to work, they no longer have to worry about food and rice, and are naturally happy.
"Lao Qi, it's all thanks to you this time." Jin Fengju said to Xiang Nan.
He knew that if Xiang Nan hadn't gone to ask Bai Xiongqi this time, it would have been impossible for the three of them to be reinstated.
"Yes, Lao Qi, if it weren't for you this time, we might be in trouble." Jin Pengzhen also said to Xiang Nan.
"Hey, Lao Qi, the Jin family will rely on you from now on." Jin Hesun also said.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, we are brothers. You help me and I help you. It's all as it should be. How can I say thank you?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and then asked, "I hope you will do well in the future. Try to master as many skills as you can.”
Bai Xiongqi's position as prime minister will not last long. As far as Xiang Nan knows, the Southern New Party will begin the Northern Expedition in 2026. By then, both the Zhili and Feng clique warlords will be defeated.
By that time, Bai Xiongqi would never want to be prime minister again. No matter how good he is at maneuvering, there is no place for him in the new party. Once the new party establishes a new government in Jinling, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen will face the problem of unemployment again.
At that time, even Bai Xiongqi and Du Ni Bodhisattva could not save themselves from crossing the river. Who should the three of them turn to? !
Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen all nodded, but Xiang Nan had no idea whether they could listen. We can only hope that the three of them can live up to their expectations, otherwise, they will have to rely on him to eat and die in the future.
Fortunately, if he can't do anything else, he can still manage a bowl of rice.
