The day after the arrest operation ended, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the streets and alleys were full of firecrackers, which really gave rise to the taste of the New Year. Han Lin announced that except for the interrogation room and the prison, which had to wait until the end of the interrogation work, the rest of the people took turns to rest until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

All civil servants strictly follow the regulations, do not set off firecrackers and do not engage in New Year's greeting activities, but gatherings are inevitable, Han Lin also plans to use this tradition to go to his own related households, in everyone's hearts, New Year's Day cannot be compared with the Spring Festival after all.

The Jinling government also did not explicitly stipulate that public servants could not get together to drink and chat during the Spring Festival, and no one could care about this matter.

Han Zhai is very lively tonight, the parents have returned to Jinling, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have also returned to Jinling, and the younger sister is on vacation, this is a rare moment of reunion.

is not married, but still has New Year's money, not only Han Lin and Han Yuxin, but also housekeepers, drivers, gardeners, maids, and bodyguards at home, and the number is also considerable.

There are sumptuous dishes on the table, and with the financial resources of the Han family, basically you can see the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Han's mother took the maid to make dumplings and ate them on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Although they are now considered southerners, their hometown is Qingzhou Mansion in Lu Province, which belongs to the northerners, and the Han family has always retained the tradition of eating dumplings during the New Year, and has not been assimilated by the customs of the south.

"Second child, do you have something to do tonight? Don't drink any alcohol? Han Li asked very strangely.

He knows how much his brother drinks, and when he has dinner every year, he usually drinks red wine, but he is always put down by Han Lin, but Han Lin didn't pour wine tonight.

"Later, I will go to the home of Qian Dajun, the director of the first division of the chamber and the chief of the guard of the official residence, to send him some thoughts, but I didn't go to his house on New Year's Day, and I visited him with a mouth full of wine, which is too disrespectful." Han Lin said.

"I heard that Qian Dajun is famous for corruption and bribery within the Jinling government, but he is a big celebrity in the Jiang Commission, and he holds real power in his hands, and the generals of the idle army can't get into his eyes, can you still get in touch with him?" Father Han felt a little surprised.

"Qian Dajun is the chief of the guard, I am the head of the guard, we are the most direct subordinate relationship, you also said, he is a person who is corrupt and bribery, if I can't even handle a person like him, I don't have to mix in the Jinling government. To tell you the truth, I have some relationship with the Kong family and the Song family, although it is not a deep friendship, at least our family's salt business cannot be snatched away by anyone. Han Lin said with a smile.

The Salt Administration is under the management of the Ministry of Finance, not to mention anything else, just because the two young ladies of the Kong family have become good friends with him, no one can steal the business of the Han family. The most critical part of this matter is not just a matter of money, there are many people who are richer than the Han family, and the relationship is decisive.

"You are very similar to me at this point, you are good at making contacts, but you are better than the blue, my connections are a little inferior in comparison, and this status of our family is not even touched by the periphery of the Kong family and the Song family."

"My biggest heart problem is that there is no one in the court, but you have solved a big problem for me, and there are not a few people who are interested in our family's business. In fact, this time I came back to visit some related households, and they praised you, saying that you have a way to heaven, and I am also happy for you. Father Han was deeply gratified by this.

For this kind of big family of royal relatives and relatives, wanting to protect the business of the Han family, that is to say, it is so simple, he never thought that Han Lin, a military police officer, could still make friends with the Kong family and the Song family, and with Han Lin's ability, he could shelter at least three generations.

"You see, I was right to take the police academy in the first place, it is easier for officials to get in touch with officials, no matter how rich a businessman is, his status is still far behind, how did you think about going abroad to avoid the war?" Han Lin asked.

"Your eldest brother made a special trip to Haizhou some time ago, and mentioned the matter of going abroad, if a war breaks out between China and Japan and the situation changes, our family will go abroad to live for a period of time, and then return to China when the situation stabilizes, he plans to return to China in the near future to prepare for a residence in the United States."

"Linlin, but recently I feel that the domestic situation is relatively stable, and the Japanese plot to plot North China has not succeeded at the moment, I want to ask you, will war really break out?" Father Han asked.

Giving up most of his life's family business, this is secondary, the Han family's money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, the key is that his homeland is difficult to leave, he is old, and he is really unwilling to leave his hometown to live in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

"The incident of the Japanese plotting against North China is a precursor to the outbreak of a full-scale war between the two sides, and the enemy will never give up until he achieves his goal. The top echelons of the government believe that this war is inevitable and that the reason why it has not started now is that the contradictions within Japan have not been resolved, but this situation cannot continue indefinitely, and according to top-secret sources, the contradictions within Japan have reached a critical point and will be detonated at any time. ”

"When Japan's internal problems are alleviated, the next thing is to continue the aggression in China, two years at most, not more than three years, and the Pingjin area will definitely detonate the war first. Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, the richest cities and provinces, are the financial and tax areas of the Jinling government, and they are also the targets of the Japanese army's attack. ”

"I went to the mountain city at the end of last year and decided to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to start building a shelter and residential area in the Nanshan area of the mountain city, and at the end of the year, I will move one after another, and use a month to forcibly move all my subordinate family members to the mountain city, including some of my assets."

"Because our family and the Lu family are going abroad, it is difficult for the family to bring valuables and large items to the United States, so they can be transported to the mountain city by ship in advance and placed in my warehouse for safekeeping, with the protection of the military police, no one dares to steal my things." Han Lin said.

"I think about it again, fortunately, this matter is not so anxious at the moment, one year is enough, even if you go abroad for refuge, the family's salt trade must continue, a year is a few million turnover, which can bring millions of net income to the Han family."

"If we all leave, I hope you can continue to do business until it can't be operated, you know in your heart that the corruption of the Jinling government requires a lot of money in all aspects."

"Before I go, I want to pave the way for you to sell salt, which are all ready-made channels, and I am followed by some old people, loyal and reliable for many years, you just need to open up the joints on it and sort it out smoothly." Father Han said.

With the rise of Han Lin's mixing in the Jinling government, the level of contact is getting higher and higher, and what he says, Han's father, as the head of the family, must pay special attention to it. Since Han Lin said that the war was going to break out, and he wanted to relocate to a distant mountain city, he couldn't help but prepare, saying such things, he had basically agreed with his son's suggestion.
