Chapter Twenty-Four: Rumors
Lin Huaiyu had a very comfortable time during this time.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most comfortable and happy period of time that Lin Huaiyu has lived for many years.
After Lin Congzheng was promoted from the first deputy director of the Development Committee to the main director, the outside world's speculation about the Lin family in Kyushu City and a series of rumors all disappeared automatically.
During the period before the plenum, there were rumors in Kyushu City that the royal family would transfer Lin Congzheng out of Kyushu City and go to a province in the western part of the empire to serve as the governor.
Lin Congzheng was originally transferred from the position of governor of Wu Yue Province to the Development Commission, the governor of the first developed province of the empire served as the first deputy of the most important part of the cabinet, and the actual performance of the accusation of the number one leader, although it was not a high promotion, but it was by no means a depreciation, but the first deputy director was transferred to a poor province to serve as the governor, that is really degraded, under normal circumstances, the first deputy director of the Development Commission, if it is released, only the position of the secretary of the provincial party committee or the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government can be regarded as a flat transfer, if Lin Congzheng is really transferred to the western poor provinces as the governor, then he will undoubtedly be excluded from the core of the royal family, at least within one term, his political life will not improve in the slightest.
This rumor was very marketable at the beginning, because although Lin Congzheng's several promotions were all named by the giants of the royal family, the relationship between the royal family and Lin Congzheng has always been lukewarm, or rather, he was intentionally or unintentionally excluded from the core force, and the god of war King Lin Xuanyuan's evil feelings towards the Lin family in Kyushu City are so obvious, so everyone will speculate that the Lin family in Kyushu City will continue to be half-dead until they finally disappear into the circle of Kyushu City.
But after the plenum, Lin Congzheng's appointment came as a surprise to most people.
Lin Congzheng didn't know what method he used, but he actually got the support of the God of War King.
Of course, Lin Xuanyuan didn't come forward to say anything, but he was not against Lin Congzheng, in the eyes of the outside world, this was the greatest support for Lin Congzheng.
And Lin Congzheng also took advantage of the situation and became the director of the Development Committee.
So all the speculation and rumors went away.
Because the situation is already obvious.
If Lin Congzheng may still be excluded from the core layer by the Wang family when he served as the first deputy director of the Development Committee, then after Lin Congzheng became the director, his position in the core layer of the Wang family has been completely solid.
The current director of the Development Commission, the state councilor early next year, Lin Congzheng has become the most powerful right-hand man of the royal tycoon Chen Hualou, at least in a short period of time, his position will not be shaken.
The re-emergence of the Kyushu Chenglin family has become a foregone conclusion.
In this case, the number of people who came to have a relationship with Lin Jiala in Kyushu City suddenly increased, and even some of Lin Huaiyu's old subordinates who had long been cut off from him began to visit, and after many years of old and dead contact, the remnants of the original northern faction seemed to regard Lin Huaiyu as their banner and regarded Lin Congzheng as their leader.
Lin Huaiyu welcomed this 120,000 points, and in his opinion, this was completely a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
The northern faction has been suppressed quite tragically over the years, this super political group that used to be on par with the southwest faction, and now the current situation can be described as quite miserable, especially after Lin Huaiyu and the older generation retreated, as their influence weakened, the middle and young generations did not carry the banner, and now the main forces of the northern faction are concentrated in Qinzhou Province, and even in Qinzhou, the northern faction can not cover the sky with one hand, a northern faction of Nuoda, and now it is not as good as a local faction.
Now the best mix of the northern faction is He Chaoxi, secretary of the provincial party committee of Qinzhou Province, with his age, he can do a term or even have more room for growth, He Chaoxi was originally the core reserve force that the northern faction focused on cultivating, but now in Qinzhou, he is the first leader is forced to be embarrassed by the second-in-command, and he is about to retire in advance to retire for the elderly, after getting the news that Lin Congzheng has become the director of the development committee, He Chaoxi almost did not hesitate, and boarded the gate of the Lin family in Kyushu City.
Lin Huaiyu naturally has no reason not to accept it.
With the support of Lin Congzheng, it is not difficult for He Chaoxi to stabilize his position in Qinzhou Province, and with the support of He Chaoxi and a large number of Qinzhou cadres, Lin Congzheng's strength in the Development Committee is also stronger.
It's a mutually beneficial thing.
Moreover, the remnants of the northern faction will be merged into the royal system sooner or later, but before it is truly incorporated into the royal system, Lin Congzheng can make use of Qinzhou, a place that does not belong to the royal family but is the head of the royal family.
Qinzhou Province covers an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, nearly 40 million permanent residents, located in the northwest inland hinterland of the empire, across the middle of the two major basins of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, is an important hub connecting the eastern, central, regional and northwestern, southwestern of the empire, the provincial capital of Chang'an as the only sub-provincial city in Qinzhou, but also the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties of the empire, the historical heritage is profound, although the indicators of the entire Qinzhou are not outstanding in the imperial provinces, but in the fields of agriculture, industry, construction and education have a very important position.
If such a province can get strong support, then the support back is also extremely significant.
Lin Congzheng controls the Development Commission, if he can hold Qinzhou Province firmly in his hands, it is equivalent to holding a road to heaven!
If this idea succeeds, then it is almost certain that Lin Congzheng will be better than the blue, surpassing Lin Huaiyu's peak period, and the Lin family in Kyushu City will also become one of the top wealthy families in the empire.
After more than 20 years of ups and downs, and now he finally sees an incomparably wonderful prospect, Lin Huaiyu really has a feeling of dying without regrets.
However, he still plans to live for a few years and completely unite the remnants of the northern faction to Lin Congzheng's side.
In fact, most of the central members of the empire have even really achieved the position of feudal officials, but their influence will slowly decline after retirement.
But if you do the position of a member of the decision-making bureau, then there is no question of influence, that is the real leader of the party and the state, in any big faction, a member of the decision-making bureau has the status of a leader, and the person who retires from this position, even if the retirement is long, the influence that should exist will exist, this is the wealth of the whole country, some strong decision-making bureau members, after retiring for many years, occasionally go to Yinlonghai, and even the supreme head of the empire personally supports them, how powerful the energy behind them is, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagineγ
But Lin Huaiyu is naturally an exception.
He was also a member of the Imperial Council and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of the Northern City of the Empire.
But after the northern faction was suppressed, his influence has almost declined, after all, the entire faction is gone, what's the point of going to the bosses of other factions to show their old qualifications? What's more, he gave up his daughter for the sake of the family back then, which also caused many of the big members who regarded him as the banner of the northern faction at that time to chill and change their positions one after another, so that Lin Huaiyu no longer had that feeling of being in a hurry, and now although the remnants of the northern faction have shrunk extremely seriously, as long as they unite by his side again, with his influence many years ago, he can still hand over all the remnants of the northern faction to his son.
Lin Congzheng was helped, He Chaoxi was supported, and the Wang family was given Qinzhou Province, and all parties must be extremely satisfied.
When Lin Zhiye walked into Lin Huaiyu's study, he saw his father talking on the phone with a smile on his face, and when he saw him walk in, he just nodded, stretched out his hand to let him sit down, and then smiled and said a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Secretary He?"
Lin Zhiye sat on the sofa, looked at his father and asked, he just heard a voice from Lin Huaiyu's phone, and he knew who it was.
Lin Huaiyu nodded casually, glanced at his son, and said with a smile: "Is there something?"
"Hmm. β
Lin Zhiye hesitated and said softly: "Recently, there was a project that someone asked me to cooperate, and I plan to listen to your opinions." β
In Kyushu City Lin family, the second Lin family Lin is a relatively mediocre one of the three brothers, Lin Congzheng is now a hot political star in the empire, the old three Lin Congjun broke with the family many years ago after the establishment of their own door, now it seems that has established a momentum than the Kyushu City Lin family is more vast Northeast Lin family, only in charge of the family business Lin Zhiye, over the years conscientious, although did not make any big achievements, but there has been no mistake, the meanness is calm, it is completely a pioneering and complementary posture.
"You discuss this matter with your brother and let him make up his mind, business is good during this time, right?"
Lin Huaiyu waved his hand and asked casually.
"Yes, I now know what it means for a person to ascend to heaven, the business during this time is not only good, it is simply good, I have lived so old to understand, it turns out that some people do business, really do nothing to have business sent to the door, even if there is a shortage of funds, there are banks that take the initiative to come to the door to solve the problem. β
Lin Zhiye shook his head and said with emotion.
"Anyway, pay attention, first steady, and wait for your brother to be elected next year. β
Lin Huaiyu was silent for a while and said slowly.
"Okay. β
Lin Zhiye nodded subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, he was suddenly startled: "Dad, will there be any problems with my brother's affairs? What did Secretary He tell you just now?"
"Don't be nervous, the matter is decided, I'm afraid that you will have an accident here and affect your brother, I didn't say anything just now, I just asked about your brother and the household. β
Lin Huaiyu shook his head.
"Tobe?"
Lin Zhiye's eyes lit up, and he remembered another rumor in Kyushu City recently, and it was also a credible rumor.
That is, Lin Congzheng has now completely stabilized his position in the royal system, so his promotion path may have different changes, or other choices.
It is rumored that Lin Congzheng does not want to control the development committee in the position of state councilor, and the position of director of the development committee may be just an excess for him, and next year is the last plenary session before the general election, Lin Congzheng is likely to resign from the post of director of the development committee and be elected as a member of the decision-making bureau, a state councilor, and the head of the household department.
Lin is hard to say which is better between the development committee to the cabinet as deputy prime minister or the head of the household department, but he personally feels that going to the household ministry seems to be a better choice.
"The matter of chasing the wind and shadows, the six departments are going to be canceled and reorganized, what do you want your brother to do in the household department?"
Lin Huaiyu shook his head and said.
Lin Zhiye also fell silent.
The cancellation of the six ministries is a few months ago Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan put forward a proposal, and successfully passed, now Wuyue, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Minnan, Huating, Dongshan, Central Plains, Jiangnan, Beihu, Nanhu, Nanyun, Yanzhao, the three eastern provinces and other provinces have canceled the name of the six, it is expected that before next year's plenary session, the six parts of Kyushu City will completely disappear.
The original household department will be directly split into the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and a series of departments.
"If the household department is really dismantled, there will be dozens of more ministries and commissions, and the power in my brother's hands will be weakened. β
Lin Zhiye was worried.
"What are you afraid of? Even if your brother can't enter the decision-making bureau, at least he will be a state councilor, and his status will not be affected in any way. β
Lin Huaiyu said confidently.
There was one more sentence he didn't say.
A year later, Lin Congzheng should have taken control of Qinzhou Province, and at that time, his power would not be weakened, but would be greater.
