New Year's Day of the 25th year of the Republic of China.

Han Lin didn't have any feelings about the Gregorian New Year, he knew that such a habit would eventually yield to reality, and the common people had never accepted the regulations of the Jinling government, and they didn't even have the slightest taste of the New Year after taking a look along the way.

There are a lot of cars coming and going on the streets, mainly for government agencies, and it is the time for the New Year's holiday, so civil servants naturally have to strictly follow the regulations.

The Jinling government once officially banned the Lunar New Year on January 1, the 18th year of the Republic of China, which was also done by the Jiang Committee, but with the 918 incident, the Jinling government was in a stormy period, and in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the Jiang Committee had to lift the ban, and the people still celebrated the Lunar New Year, and the government agencies celebrated the Gregorian New Year.

The gate of the rest house.

Han Lin saw that the Kong family's car was coming, it was still two cars, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute.

Kong Xiangxi, who was sitting in the first car, rolled down the window glass in advance and nodded at him, which was quite rare. But the second car stopped in front of him, and there was no need to look at it, this was definitely the car driven by the second lady.

"Happy New Year!" The eldest lady got out of the car and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year to the eldest and second misses!" Han Lin said.

"Han Lin, I heard that you came back from a business trip and was promoted to the police chief of the military police headquarters, and you don't know when you will make up for it?" The second lady said after getting out of the car.

"As long as the second lady gives a congratulatory gift, I will definitely treat you!" Han Lin said with a smile.

The three of them in Tangshan Hot Spring Villa for more than 20 days, every day to meet and chat, the relationship between each other has become a lot closer, to Baohua Mountain to climb the mountain to play, he also took the hand of the eldest lady.

"Look at your little bit of interest, open your mouth to ask for a congratulatory gift, let's discuss something, my sister and I plan to spend New Year's Day, to live in the old house in Shanghai for a few days, this time do not take the train to drive the car, I will be the driver, you and my sister as passengers, and so on to the French Concession, you accompany the shopping, and then invite us to dinner, what do you think of this gift?" The second lady said.

"It's not good, you drive a crab rampage, I don't worry, I don't dare to accompany you without bodyguards, I can't afford to blame Minister Kong!" Han Lin said.

He really doesn't have the guts, these two are not only the pearls of the Kong family, but also the lady's favorite niece, he drove them to Shanghai without permission, and he didn't want to get mixed up?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, the bodyguards at home are following behind, do you have time?" The eldest lady asked.

"Since the eldest lady has spoken, of course there is, and there must be, in fact, I am also planning to go to Shanghai recently, when to leave, call me in advance to tell me." Han Lin said.

There was an endless stream of people greeting the New Year, so Han Lin invited Qian Dajun, the chief of the guard, to talk about his plan to reform the police department.

"Don't worry, it's not too difficult, the expansion of the gendarmerie is a plan of the commission, and the police department also borrows it, if the commissioner asks me for my suggestion, I will agree." When Qian Dajun heard that it was just this, he readily agreed.

The police department is just to increase the establishment of one room and replace the original Foreign Affairs Police Section with the Judicial Section, which is easy to do, but the only trouble is that it has to manage the functions of all prisons, which requires some effort.

"Then please bother the director, you are on duty at the official residence today, and I will pay New Year's greetings at home tomorrow." Han Lin said.

"You are busy with you, let's talk about it during the old calendar and New Year's Day, as soldiers, although we strictly abide by the government's decrees, but traditional customs are still difficult to eradicate, everyone knows what's going on." Qian Dajun said with a smile.

Many high-ranking officials of the Jinling government, under the influence of their families, still did not abandon the customs of the old calendar and the New Year, but due to the strict orders of the Jinling government, they could not celebrate the New Year publicly, and they were found to be punished.

At ten o'clock, Han Lin said hello to Qian Dajun, saying that he was going out to pay New Year's greetings and go to Minister He's house to eat at noon, because Qian Dajun was one of Minister He's four King Kongs, and the relationship was unusually close, and this matter was immediately approved.

Back at home, Han Lin selected two precious Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings from the seized stolen goods, although the value is very high, they are elegant gifts, and He Yingqin loves calligraphy, so he will not refuse.

When he went to the house of the dignified Huangpu tycoon to eat and came to the door empty-handed, he felt that it was inappropriate.

What does it mean to be powerful? I really felt it in the He family!

Han Lin saw several military generals with real power in their hands going to He Yingqin's house to pay New Year's greetings, any of them were famous figures in the future, and more people were estimated not to be in Jinling, and it was inconvenient to come over.

Those who are qualified to come to pay New Year's greetings must be descendants, and most of them are from the Whampoa department, He Yingqin is the chief instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the generals of the Whampoa department are collectively called old chiefs, even if Chen Wei sees it, he has to call it that.

As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Commission of the Jinling Government, he is in charge of giving or abolishing troop numbers, increasing or decreasing soldiers, loading or suspending ordnance, and giving priority to the supply of ammunition and even military rations.

He Yingqin didn't specifically introduce Han Lin, he didn't need to introduce too much at all, and being able to appear at home for dinner was already very revealing.

After lunch, Han Lin took the initiative to leave, the gap between him and the people present was too big, it was inconvenient to talk too much, and He Yingqin did not keep it, since he became a subordinate, it was the head of the future.

"Old sir, why did you invite a lieutenant colonel of the gendarmerie to your house for dinner? There must be something to say, right? Liu Zhi asked.

He is the head of the famous Five Tiger Generals of the Jinling Government, with many nicknames, and is currently the second-level army general of the Jinling Government, and also serves as the provincial chairman of Henan Province, one of the four King Kongs of He Yingqin.

"When Han Lin was on a mission in Beiping, he saved my life from the assassination of Japanese spies, don't look at him as young and strategic, even Guan Linsheng praised him. It's a pity that he didn't take the military academy, but the police academy, otherwise, he would definitely be able to become a general of our Jinling government. He Yingqin said with a smile.

"You said it earlier, since Han Lin saved your life and is also a benefactor to all of us, you should have had two more drinks with him just now, and you can take care of him when something happens!" Jiang Mingsan, who is also a second-class army general and one of the four King Kongs, said.

"There's no need, I'll take care of Han Lin's affairs myself, he and you don't go the same way, as the police commissioner of the Military Police Headquarters and the law enforcement section chief of the Military Justice Department of the Military Affairs Department, he has mastered military discipline and military law, and it is taboo to have too close contacts with you, and if he has any official business to your territory in the future, it will be convenient for him." He Yingqin shook his head and said.
