Chapter 1061 Attitude of Wealthy Families (2)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

At the same time.

Inside the villa closest to the central villa, which was no less decorated than the Lin Clan in the southwest, the Xu Clan's Patriarch, Xu Shangguo, was standing at the windowsill, silently watching the farce in front of the central villa.

A middle-aged man with a similarly extraordinary bearing stood beside Xu Shangguo without any disadvantage. After listening to the sounds of gunfire outside, he smiled slightly and said, "Old Xu, don't you intend to interfere in this kind of thing at a time like this?"

He paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating. However, after more than twenty years of friendship, he finally said the words that he might be taboo in his heart. He only said in a half-joking and half-serious tone, "Perhaps this is an opportunity for both of you to reconcile."

"Where is the need for reconciliation?"

Xu Shangguo smiled indifferently. Looking at the central villa that still had no one coming out of the door, he narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Moreover, it's not up to me to reconcile or not to reconcile." I'm just a businessman now. I don't care about that. All I know is that a hero doesn't suffer. The imperial family is powerful now. As the War God King's deputy, even if Lin Shuhua is a bit arrogant and domineering, he still has his limits. Look at the heavy machine gun firing so freely, but from beginning to end, how could anyone have died? Not to mention important people. As long as the important figures of Glorious Divine Continent didn't die, Lin Shuhua wouldn't have any major problems. How could he interfere now? To help Lin Fengxue deal with Lin Shuhua? I still have some friendship with the royal family. It's a pleasure to work with the royal family's President Tang several times. This little incense fire doesn't seem to be worth much, but I still cherish it. Can I help Lin Shuhua deal with Lin Fengxue? That would be even more inappropriate, After all, our Xu Clan is also from the southwest faction, "In my opinion, it's best if you don't want to help me. I can't afford to offend Lin Fengxue or Lin Xuanyuan, but as long as I put on a completely neutral stance, no one would be bored to offend me. Old Yang, if it weren't for our years of friendship, based on what you said just now, I would have thought that your motives were impure, or even the Prime Minister had instructed you to do so."

Old Yang.

Prime Minister.

In the entire Divine Continent Empire, the Yang Clan, which had a close relationship with Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan, was the Yang Clan of the southern faction. It was also the Yang Clan where the current Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan resided.

There weren't many super-rich families in the Divine Continent Empire, but no matter how many they were, the Yang Clan would definitely be at the front.

Ye Clan, Chen Clan, Southwest Lin Clan, Xu Clan, Yang Clan, Liu Clan...

The rankings of these super wealthy families might be arranged differently in everyone's hearts, but no matter how different the rankings were, it was only a matter of order. No one would leave them behind.

Before the empire was founded, the Yang Clan already had the capital to become a top clan. The Yang Clan's old master was the true top founding father. After the liberation of the two provinces of South Lake and North Lake, the Yang Clan held them tightly in their hands. Up until now, no one could snatch them away.

The Yang Clan had already completely and thoroughly penetrated into every corner of the South Hubei Lake, and was constantly expanding outwards. This kind of top clan was not only the number one clan within the southern faction, but also one of the strongest clans within the entire empire.

Xu Shangfeng had a lot of friends, open-minded, He had more or less friendly relations with many important figures from the three major factions, Standing beside Xu Shangguo right now was Yang Xiuyuan's son, Yang Qingsong, the current head of the Yang Clan. The two of them had known each other many years ago. Although their camp's standpoints were different and they hadn't cooperated much in the past few years, their personal relationships had always been good. If it wasn't for this, Yang Qingsong wouldn't have spoken so recklessly.

"I knew you would think that."

Yang Qingsong smiled helplessly and looked at the Mercedes-Benz in front of the central villa. "So you really don't intend to participate in this matter?"

"What is there to participate in? No matter how powerful the royal family was, If he wanted to destroy the Lin Clan in the southwest, It's not one or two days, Lin Fengxue was already prepared for this day. Over the years, The Lin Clan in the southwest continued to expand, It kept expanding, No one knew how powerful Lin Fengxue was right now. This aspect of strength, It is not something that can be made up by sheer force, To put it more simply, If the War God King were to destroy the entire Lin Clan in the southwest by himself today, Perhaps in less than three days, the empire would have millions or more people out of work all over the country, This is a serious social problem, Kill Lin Fengxue, It's easy, But if he wanted to destroy the Lin Family in the southwest, "It's not easy to reach this level. For the sake of the stability of the empire, everyone needs to weaken the Lin Clan in the southwest bit by bit. In the end, they will be killed in one blow. No matter what, Lin Fengxue will not suffer a big loss today. At most, she will lose face. If I go, he won't necessarily appreciate it. Instead, he will offend the War God Palace. This is stupid."

Xu Shangguo shook his head and said indifferently.

"But the Lin Clan in the southwest, Face is the last thing I can afford, If you want me to see, If Lin Fengxue had known about today's matter in advance, I'd rather take out a portion of my profits, As long as Lin Shuhua doesn't come to this door today, then the Lin Empire's strongest clan in the southwest was still there, Now that Lin Shuhua had taken the initiative to charge over, hey, if he could escape completely, then the weakness of the entire Lin Clan in the southwest would be completely exposed. This was only the beginning. Next, the wealthy clans that realized the crisis of the Lin Clan in the southwest would continue to attack. If the Lin Clan in the southwest collapsed, then it would be a feast. Who didn't want to share more? So now, face is more important than actual benefits. "

Yang Qingsong cautiously spoke, and at the same time, he looked at Xu Shangfeng's expression with the corner of his eyes.

Just as he said, if Xu Shangguo was willing to interfere with Lin Shuhua at this moment, would he offend the War God King? At the very least, relying on Xu Shangguo's friendship with Tang Xin, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Shuhua not to give him face. At the very least, his next move would be much more restrained.

Lin Fengxue would also receive the goodwill from Xu Shangguo. Furthermore, if the Lin Clan and the Xu Clan reached an agreement, then the rift between Xu Shangfeng and Lin Qingtian would have a chance to be repaired. This was a good opportunity for the Lin Clan, the Xu Clan, and the entire Southwest Faction.

However, Xu Shangguo's expression did not change in the slightest. He looked out of the window and shook his head slowly but firmly.

It seemed that Xu Shangfeng and Lin Qingtian were determined to part ways.

Yang Qingsong thought silently in his heart.

He came here today to discuss a big deal with the Xu Clan.

Yang Qingyue, the current secretary of Beihu Province, was his biological sister, and in the next, Southern faction pushed into the bureau, Yang Qingyue's resume was neat, and she was also a woman. Her prestige and reputation were very good. Under such circumstances, she had a great chance of entering the Policy Bureau. The southern faction was already prepared. When the plenary session next year, she would fight against the other two factions to see if she could be sent directly to the Policy Bureau and fight for a position of real power.

At present, Yang Qingyue entered the Policy Bureau. Becoming the leader of an enemy country is basically a certainty, However, it was hard to say exactly where it was. Perhaps it was an outgoing feudal official, perhaps a deputy prime minister of the Cabinet, or a deputy head of state, or a minister of a department with real power, or even a second in command of the National Assembly, or a deputy to the Political Consultative Council, and also a minister of the Empire's Joint Department.

If Yang Qingyue were to be placed in a few special provinces and cities to serve as a feudal official, the southern faction would be acceptable. However, there were only a few of those positions. It was impossible in South Guangdong, and the royal family was determined to obtain that position.

Wu Yue and Huating were also the headquarters of the royal faction. If the southern faction really sent Yang Qingyue to Wu Yue and Huating as their leaders, it would simply harm him.

Beijiang Province, Beibei City, and Southwest City were the spheres of influence of the southwest factions.

There was also the Nine Continents City. Currently, all three factions were entangled in the Nine Continents City. There was a possibility of fighting for that position, but it was the same as not having it.

As a result, without the positions of these feudal officials, the other options were limited.

Now that the royal family was so powerful, Ye Nianlun 's determination to control the empire was extremely obvious. Therefore, the other departments of the empire that could accommodate the next member of the policy bureau had almost all come to a conclusion.

After next year, the six divisions of the empire would be completely abolished, and the Ministry of Justice would be renamed the Imperial Political Law Council. Now that Guo Zhinu occupied this position, when he became a giant, the royal family would definitely continue to send confidants to this position.

The Ministry of Officials would be renamed the Central Organization Department, a position that held a great deal of personnel power. Because of the ascension of the leaf ring, the royal family was also bound to obtain it.

The Ministry of Rites had several departments at the Governor level, and they were renamed the Propaganda Department. That was the tongue of the empire. The commanding heights of various theoretical battles would be fiercely fought for by the royal and southwestern factions. The chances of the southern faction winning were not high.

As a result, Yang Qingyue's tenure in the Policy Bureau was so narrow that tears flowed down her face.

Yang Qingyue could hardly win the position of deputy prime minister in the cabinet. This position was similarly extremely powerful, and it was a place that warriors had to contend for.

As a result, the remaining positions were not ideal.

Of course, there were also ideal positions, but they were prepared for the other leaders of the southern faction. In the end, there were only three positions left for Yang Qingyue.

The deputy head of the empire.

The imperial joint minister, the second in command of the Political Consultative Council.

As well as the academician of the Central Academy and the second-in-command of the National Assembly.

Among these positions, the southern faction was fighting for Yang Qingyue's position as a member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau, a member of the Central Bureau of Academicians , and a second in command of the National Assembly. This was the most powerful of the remaining three positions. If they could not win this position, they would fight for the position of the Imperial Joint Minister.

If he still couldn't win this, then he would fall back and pursue the position of deputy head of the empire. This was a certainty, but for the southern faction, this was also the worst outcome.

The deputy head of the empire sounded prominent, but the deputy head of the empire who did not become a giant was simply pitiful. Not to mention compared to the deputy prime minister and other prominent figures, even compared to the co-ministers, they were extremely inferior.

In the Divine Continent Empire, the positions of supreme head and deputy head were more symbolic and ceremonial, and they basically didn't have any real power.

Lin Qingtian was currently the highest head of the empire. His real power was once the greatest. However, all of his real power was not given to him by the position of the highest head. Instead, it was given to him by his other two positions, the secretary of the empire's Zong and the chairman of the military council.

As for not becoming a deputy head of state, Naturally, actual power was even more pitiful. This could be said to be the most undesirable position among all the Policy Bureaux. Of course, the title of a Policy Bureau member would be added to this post, so it was the most undesirable. It was only relatively speaking. However, in comparison, the southern faction was really unwilling to let Yang Qingyue take up such a position.

Just as the big shots of the southern faction were worried about Yang Qingyue's political future, Xu Shangguo stretched out an olive branch. At an economic forum Yang Xiuyuan had personally hosted the day before yesterday, Xu Shangguo made it clear that the Xu Clan planned to increase its investment in Beihu Province. In the coming year, the Xu Clan planned to invest 50 billion to 80 billion yuan in Beihu Province, which would help create countless jobs in various areas of Beihu Province and attract the economic indicators of Beihu Province.

Without a doubt, this was an olive branch extended by the Xu Clan and Xu Shangguo to Beihu Province, and even to the entire southern faction.

Its purpose was naturally to help Yang Qingyue.

Yang Xiuyuan agreed to this kind of cooperation without much hesitation.

Thus, the Yang Clan's Clan Master flew directly to Nine Continents City yesterday. After resting for a night, he stepped onto the Xu Clan's gate today.

Yang Qingsong was originally a little doubtful about the Xu Clan's big money, but after seeing Xu Shangguo's resolute attitude towards Lin Qingtian, he immediately understood the Xu Clan's intentions.
