The first time he served as Premier, his government was plagued with financial woes; as such, he prepared to resign in May 1920. Instead, the President, Xu Shichang, allowed him to go on temporary holiday;[1] this holiday quickly turned permanent with the appointment of Sa Zhenbing as Jin's successor the next day.[2]

In December 1921, having been made Premier once again, he resigned again;[3] this time, he was replaced with Liang Shiyi.

In 1927, he attempted to reorganize the cabinet of China, but was blocked from doing so.[4]
