Chapter 2715 2717 [Everything in the world is like chess]

Come June, Xiang Nan is strangely in the limelight again.

It turns out that he wrote several children's songs for his two nieces, Xiaoshuang and Xiaotong, such as "Snail and Oriole", "Song and Smile", "Reader", "Counting Ducks", "Catching Loaches", etc. .

They are now over a year old, and they are at the age where they are learning to speak, so Xiang Nan teaches them to sing children's songs, which will also help their growth.

Originally, these songs were only sung at home, but Cheng Huichang thought these songs were very interesting, so she took them to Chunming Girls' School and taught them to her classmates.

Therefore, the lyrics are simple and the melody is catchy, so it spread quickly. Not only children like to sing it, but even adults like to hum a few lines. As a result, Xiang Nan's popularity has become well-known in the streets, and Xiang Nan's popularity remains high.

…

In the first half of 2005, China was also in turmoil. The biggest loss was the death of Mr. Sun, which made all progressive people extremely sad.

Xiang Nan knew that Mr. Sun's death would inevitably lead to a struggle for power among various factions of the New Party, so he was very worried about his sister Jin Runzhi, who was far away in Guangdong.

For this reason, I specially sent her a telegram, hoping that she would try her best to protect herself and not get involved. It is best to return to Yanjing, avoid the center of the storm, and wait for the dust to settle before looking at the next step.

However, Jin Runzhi sent a telegram back, saying that he would not return to the capital, but would remain steadfast and continue to struggle to realize Mr. Sun's dream as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan had to sigh.

…

Entering the second half of the year, the internal struggle within the new party became increasingly fierce, and the founders of the party were assassinated in the street, causing a sensation.

Xiang Nan wrote another letter to Jin Runzhi, reminding her to pay attention to safety and not to get involved in the political whirlpool.

Half a month later, he received a reply from Jin Runzhi.

In the letter, Jin Runzhi thanked Xiang Nan for his concern, but still believed that this was just darkness before dawn, and that there would be a rainbow after the storm. He would still persist in fighting and would not shrink back.

When Xiang Nan saw this, he had no choice but to give it up.

In October, the third Zhili-Fengtian War started.

It turned out that the Feng Clan conquered Longwang Shu, and after capturing the capital and supporting their own government, they planned to annex the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Naturally, the Zhili warlords entrenched here did not agree, so the two sides started a war again.

Unexpectedly, the originally invincible Feng clan was in a dilemma in this war. It suffered repeated defeats and was beaten back and forth.

In the end, the Zhili clique occupied the five provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian, while the Fengcian retreated to the north of the Yellow River and completely lost control of the south.

The failure of this war shocked the newly formed government and worried that the Zhili clique might make a comeback.

For Jin Quan, the victory of this war made him extremely excited. Once the Zhili clique returned to power, he might come back to power again, so he hoped every day that the Zhili clique would come over quickly.

However, before the Zhili clique could fight back, the Feng clique had already started civil strife. The war spread rapidly, once again making everyone in the government and the opposition panic.

"I have said before that the emperor takes turns, and he came to my house this year. Bai Xiongqi thought that he could secure the position of prime minister by relying on the Feng Clan. But now that even the Feng Clan himself is in a fight, how can he, the prime minister, deal with himself? ." Jin Quan smiled.

"Father, a hundred-footed insect can die but never freeze. The capital is still under the control of the Feng Clan, and I think the Zhili Clan may not be able to defeat it. Let's be cautious and optimistic." Xiang Nan advised, lest he place too much hope. .

Because as far as he knew, the New Party would make its northern expedition next year. The Zhili clique, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, would bear the brunt. With the New Party in the south and the Feng clique in the north, it would be difficult for it to protect itself, and how could it regain the capital and regain power?

Seeing what he said, Jin Quan nodded.

In December, the civil strife in the Feng Clan subsided, but tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the vitality of the Feng Clan was severely damaged.

…

In the second half of the year, Xiang Nan continued to write and teach.

After the serialization of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was completed, Xiang Nan serialized "Xiao Li's Flying Knife". After the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was completed, he began to write "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer".

In addition, Leng Qingqiu also completed the serialization of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair".

With this novel, she not only became a famous female writer today, but also earned thousands of dollars from it, which can be said to be quite good.

After the serialization of this novel was completed, Xiang Nan suggested that she write "Love in the Rain". This drama was quite popular at the time, and Xiang Nan, a die-hard straight man, watched it several times, and it can be said that he was extremely impressed.

It is not only a love novel, but also writes about the more profound conflicts and conflicts of human nature and the tremors of the soul behind the story, as well as the huge distortion and destruction of human nature caused by the feudal family and the powerful rule of feudal rulers.

After listening to Xiang Nan's summary, Leng Qingqiu thought the story was very good and immediately decided to write it.

"Yanxi, you are really talented. I really don't know how your brain is so big and how you can come up with so many good stories." She said with admiration.

She has been with Xiang Nan for two years, but he still brings surprises to her. He is truly a treasure boy.

"Without you as my muse, how could I have so many creative ideas?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Leng Qingqiu was naturally happy.

…

Entering 2026, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

Although the civil strife in the Feng clan subsided, the struggle for power and profit did not stop.

In particular, the Feng Dynasty was severely damaged due to civil strife, so it needed to seize the opportunity to plunder wealth, recruit soldiers, and purchase equipment in order to restore its strength as soon as possible.

For this reason, the new government had no choice but to increase taxes on the people and borrow money from foreign powers to make up for its needs, which led to the people becoming increasingly impoverished and further damaging the national interests.

The government's money has been used to fight the war, and other departments have been forced to cut back on food and clothing.

It seems that the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments all have salary arrears.

Xiang Nan and others who are professors may seem noble, but in fact their lives are very difficult.

Because the government has no money to pay salaries, everyone is in arrears with wages, sometimes for several months.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan can still write novels and earn some royalties. Otherwise, it would really be fatal for him to earn that little salary.

Three civil servants, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen, are now owed their salaries, which amount to thousands of dollars, making the three of them feel helpless.

I didn't expect that the son of a dignified former Prime Minister would be owed wages sometimes.

Moreover, it is difficult to ask for this salary. After all, the finance department really has no money. There are even employees from various ministries holding quilts and going to the finance department to board the house to ask for wages. They block the office of the deputy director of the finance department to ask for money, but it is still one cent. No money was asked for.

Not to mention them, even Mr. Lu Xun wrote articles to ask for salary, but the result was the same lack of money.

Now that the new year is approaching, all three of them are in the red and their lives are almost unbearable.

Now even if Xiang Nan doesn't use his plan, Jin Fengju and Jin Pengzhen will not dare to go out and wander around.

However, Xiang Nan knew that they were just shouting happily, but actually they had quite a lot of savings. Now they were just crying because they were poor and hoped that Jin Quan and his wife would give them some support.
