The emperor's face was still full of smiles, "How to dispose of those gold and silver mines, I already have a bottom in my heart, and I called you over today just to tell you in advance...... Originally, I was going to say it later, but since you've already quarreled like this today, I'll tell you earlier. ”

It turns out that the emperor has already made a draft for the disposal of these gold and silver mines? Several important ministers were shocked.

The emperor's performance at the meeting just now had already made them slightly puzzled, and what was even more shocking was that the emperor had already made a decision quietly, but he didn't say it at the meeting. Why is that? Everyone was thinking in their hearts, but they didn't have a clue.

Not only the important ministers, but even the crown prince was at a loss, not knowing what his father's intentions were. But no matter what, it was better for my father to have a disposition than nothing, so he was a little relieved.

"Dare to ask—dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" After settling down, with a hint of anticipation, the prime minister asked nervously.

"You're all arguing like that today, if I don't give a result, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well this time, right? However, if you take too much sides of you, I am afraid that your hearts will be even more happy. The emperor didn't say it directly, but sighed first, "This emperor is actually difficult to be." ”

"The ministers have no such intentions, please ask the emperor to learn clearly!" No one could afford the crime of resentment, so the ministers hurriedly sued the emperor.

"Don't be so nervous, I'll say it casually." The emperor didn't mean to be angry, "However, you are arguing so much, I really can't think about it too much......"

With this long sigh, he raised his head leisurely, "You all said that you want to dedicate this gold and silver mine to me, and I received my heart, but I was sitting in the world of this big man, so why bother to take all the gold mines in your hands?" Do I still have to be like the Wanli Emperor of the previous dynasty, sending people there all day long to collect mining taxes? Isn't that redundant? It's not right, it's not right! Or take it into the hands of the state, it is justified! ”

The emperor's words caused different reactions from the ministers, Shi Manqiang and Zhao Song looked at each other quite worriedly, while the prime minister and the finance minister were overjoyed, feeling that their hard work was finally not in vain, and the emperor finally focused on the overall situation and adopted his own opinion.

However, their joy did not last long, and the emperor soon put them back into a state of confusion.

"However, as someone said before, it is indeed not conducive to checks and balances to attribute all the power to the mission in Japan or the foreign affairs department, so we have to find another way to deal with it......

This unexpected development made several important ministers look at each other, not understanding what the emperor is planning.

Fortunately, the emperor did not sell it. "Both of you are ministers of the humerus, and I don't like to let either side suffer, so I have to find another way. What is the purpose of this defeat against Japan? Isn't it just that the gold and silver can be brought to us to enrich the country's finances? And what kind of organs do the state financial planning rely on the most? In my opinion, it is none other than Dahan Bank, so let's just put them in the hands of Dahan Bank and let Dahan Bank manage and use them independently. ”

"Dahan Bank?" The important ministers were stunned again.

It's an approach they've never thought of.

After many days of preparation, Dahan Bank is about to be opened, and in their opinion, this is a place used by Dahan to mint money and exchange savings for the people, how can it be inserted into foreign mines? And, even if it does, how should the system be structured?

Therefore, they did not make a sound for a while, but continued to wait for the emperor's next step.

"However, since it is going to be transferred to Dahan Bank, it is necessary to prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry." The emperor continued, "The relationship between Dahan Bank and the Ministry of Finance of the Cabinet is very close, but the position of Dahan Bank is very important, and it cannot be regarded as a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Finance. It just so happened that with the supervision of Japan's gold and silver mines, I think it is better to take advantage of this matter to set up a supervisory committee in Dahan Bank, but set up a subordinate supervision bureau in Japan's mining affairs. What do you think about letting the Supervision Bureau be responsible for the supervision of Japan's mining affairs, and the Supervision Committee will manage Dahan Bank in China? ”

Seeing that the ministers were still a little ignorant, the emperor continued to explain his intentions.

"Japan has a lot of gold and silver, but if it can't be used to make it rich, it won't be able to enrich the country and the people, so it's best to include it under the Dahan Bank. If you just move them to the treasury and store them, whether they are in the treasury of the Ministry of Finance or in the treasury of the royal treasury, what is the difference between them and burying them in the ground? ”

Everyone has understood what the emperor meant, but the ministers didn't understand it for a while, they were still trying to think about it, trying to figure out what the emperor meant.

In the past, everyone said that Japan was isolated overseas, and in order to avoid a situation in which there were many political departments, it was necessary to strengthen the functions and powers of the local stationed organs, but now the emperor said that in addition to the diplomatic mission and the garrison in Japan, there must also be a supervision bureau directly under the Dahan Bank, and the original two-headed situation has become a three-headed situation.

Also, Dahan Bank has sprung up, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to this institution, what is he going to do?

The ministers could not think of answers to these questions.

Shi Manqiang and Zhao Song are two generals, fortunately, they are both people who lead troops to fight, and the proposal to bring Japanese gold and silver mining under the royal family is just to curry favor with the emperor, so seeing that the emperor has his own opinions, they no longer resist.

When the emperor said that he wanted to establish Dahan Bank, they had always been a subordinate agency of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Finance, and in the past few years, the preparatory work of Dahan Bank has always been personally responsible for the Ministry of Finance.

As a result, now the emperor says that he has other plans for Dahan Bank? Do you want to separate Dahan Bank from the cabinet structure?

The two ministers had a sense of loss, especially the Minister of Finance Chen Hong, and their hearts were even more painful. Taking away Dahan Bank from him, not to mention the hard work spent in the early stage, won't his future functions and powers be greatly affected?

Now the country's finances are in the hands of the finance minister, and the annual coinage and budget are also decided by him, if the Dahan Bank is separated from the Ministry of Finance, then he will have no way to supervise the country's financial affairs alone, this result is too unacceptable.

"Your Majesty...... Dahan Bank involves the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is imperative to strengthen management," because he really couldn't bear it, even if he saw that the emperor's plan had been decided, the finance minister still couldn't help but interject, "However, if it is directly independent from the cabinet, then ...... So how can I wait for my life? If Dahan Bank is not under the control of the cabinet, it will inevitably need to communicate with the two sides frequently in the future to avoid discord, but we are already exhausted from taking on state affairs every year. Besides, how much money does the royal family and the state spend, it is impossible to budget everything in advance, there are always some unexpected situations, if the Ministry of Finance cannot have full power, how to make a decision at that time? If you can't make a quick decision, won't it delay the emperor's major affairs? All kinds of disadvantages, please ask the emperor to ...... Please think twice......"

Speaking of this, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was pleading with the emperor.

The others also understood that he didn't want his authority to be cut and eroded, so no one laughed at him in their hearts, but they felt a sense of sympathy.

However, his earnest words did not make the emperor retract his order, and he did not even hesitate at all.

"What the Minister of Finance said is indeed reasonable, and all kinds of shortcomings do need to be considered, but it is imperative to make Dahan Bank independent of the cabinet, and these shortcomings can be overcome slowly, and I ask the Minister of Finance to work hard in the future!" The emperor's tone was categorical.

Although his important ministers are all outstanding people, and they have been trained and experienced in many years of governing and leading soldiers, they still came out of an old era like the Ming Dynasty after all, and they don't have many modern ideas in their minds, so many of their problems can't turn around, and they still stay within the scope of the old set of thinking.

Because of this, they do not understand the importance of central banks, and therefore they do not understand how important it is for central banks to maintain relative independence.

However, although they did not understand the emperor's intentions, these ministers were still very loyal and diligent after all, so even if they were reluctant, the prime minister and the finance minister still bowed their heads to show that they understood the emperor's intentions.

"The minister understands, the minister ...... When I returned, I began to make arrangements to completely separate the institution of Dahan Bank from the Ministry of Finance. The prime minister nodded, and then he thought of another question, "But, may I ask the emperor, how should this supervisory committee be set up?" Is it also for the ministers to find their own people? ”

Since the emperor himself said that he would set up this supervisory committee, he must attach great importance to it, so the prime minister asked first, so as not to violate the emperor's taboo by himself.

Sure enough, as he expected, the emperor already had his own plans for the supervisory committee.

"This supervisory committee is very important, and the selection of candidates should not be hasty, but should be cautious."

"Then does the emperor already have a candidate?" The prime minister asked curiously.

He only heard this term from the emperor's mouth today, so he didn't understand it at all, but judging from the word "will", this should be an organization composed of many people.
