Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 386: The ministers jointly launched an attack on the government
Chapter 386: The ministers jointly launched an attack on the government
Fang Yuan did not stop Changsun Wuji’s behavior.
Because there is no reason and no need.
If everyone contacts other ministers openly, they are prepared to be blocked.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the household department and the court was a little strange these days, and the officials looked at Fang Yuan a little strangely.
It seems that due to Fang Yuan's power, no one said anything in front of Fang Yuan.
Go to court early this morning.
The court will end the meeting as always.
But just as the meeting was about to end, Changsun Wuji stood up and expressed that he had something to say.
When the ministers saw it was Changsun Wuji, their eyes changed, and then they secretly looked at Fang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I and many ministers feel that Huaxia Bank is an important weapon of the country and should be handed over to the imperial court to manage it in order to play its important role."
"I suggested that Shangshu Fang could dedicate Huaxia Bank to the imperial court, and the imperial court would give him a certain reward as compensation."
Changsun Wuji said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Shilian and others came out and expressed their support.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly, feeling surprised and dissatisfied with this situation.
I clearly said that I would consider it after I have finished this period of work, but I don’t want Changsun Wuji to unite so many ministers?
Li Shimin said nothing, wanting to see if any other ministers would come forward.
Sure enough, just as Li Shimin thought.
Among the ministers, Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart and walked out.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Huaxia Bank is related to the country's foundation, and rationality is left to the state's management."
"I know this is very unfair to Fang Shangshu, but I still hope that Fang Shangshu can agree and the court will provide sufficient compensation."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said.
After saying that, he bowed to Fang Yuan apologetically.
"Please ask Fang Shangshu to hand over the Huaxia Bank and let it be managed by the imperial court."
More ministers come forward.
Of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, half of them stood up.
Even the royal family and relatives are ready to make a move, as if they want to express themselves.
But Li Ke and Li Tai, who were standing at the front, didn't move, so they didn't express anything.
"Fang Shangshu, do you have anything to say?"
Li Shimin said expressionlessly.
In fact, I am very dissatisfied.
Although the actions of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were aimed at Fang Yuan, they were actually trying to force him into the palace.
If he does such a thing in front of the imperial court without his consent, what dignity does he have as an emperor?
Doesn’t it mean that ministers can do whatever they want?
"The ministers are all devoted to the country. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I feel deeply ashamed."
"In this case, I can't just consider myself, I have to consider the overall situation."
"If the imperial court can agree to my three requests, then I am willing to hand over Huaxia Bank to the imperial court for management."
Fang Yuan looked indifferent and said slowly.
After saying this, the officials all looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian's expressions changed and they looked at each other.
"Speak!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He knew that Fang Yuan would not hand over Hua Xia Bank's money casually.
It must be a very tricky question to prevent ministers from having such thoughts.
"The first condition: I want the court to make me the Duke of the country, hereditary."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Thanks to the overwhelming power of the officials in the imperial court, let’s see who suffers.
"This..."
Everyone was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
Is it too much to set the first condition so high?
Being named a Duke before the age of thirty, and being on an equal footing with the older generation of Dukes, makes people feel somewhat unbalanced.
"I think it's okay."
"Hua Xia Bank is an important weapon of the country and deserves the position of Duke of the country."
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Although the position of Duke is valuable, it is not impossible to win over Huaxia Bank.
When the ministers saw that Chang Sun Wuji agreed, Li Shimin did not say anything and nodded that it was okay.
"I will tell you the second condition."
"What is researched by the research institute and the medical school belongs to the research institute and the medical school, not to the imperial court."
"For this, I need the signature and seal of His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and the three provinces and six ministries."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
After the words fell, the reaction of the officials became more intense.
"Fang Shangshu, isn't this too much?"
"The Emperor and His Majesty have both vouched for the institute, so there is no need for this, right?"
"Yes, Fang Shangshu, such behavior has despised the Emperor and His Majesty. Please withdraw this condition."
Some ministers felt unfair and stood up to speak out.
His words were agreed by some neutral ministers, who spoke one after another.
Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others saw this and said nothing, allowing Fang Yuan to be attacked.
Because they don't want to agree with Fang Yuan, because Huo Gun belongs to the institute, and they don't want Fang Yuan to completely control Huo Gun.
"Is this contempt for the Emperor and His Majesty?"
"Then I am being despised when Changsun Shangshu and others ask for Huaxia Bank in front of the court?"
"Or is it that the Emperor and His Majesty cannot be despised, but my face and that of you can be despised?"
Fang Yuan said coldly.
He looked at the ministers present with cold eyes.
The minister who spoke was speechless for a moment, not daring to refute or agree.
His official position is not as high as Fang Yuan, so he is not qualified to criticize Fang Yuan.
"Ahem, Fang Shangshu, why not mention the third condition together and let us all discuss it together?"
Changsun Wuji coughed dryly and said.
He worked hard to find so many people, and he was about to succeed when he saw it, and he didn't want to fall short.
If Fang Yuan's third condition is too harsh than the previous one, then everyone agrees and slowly uses the power of the ministers to oppress Fang Yuan.
"Then let's talk about the third condition first."
"After Huaxia Bank is determined to be handed over to the imperial court, Huaxia Bank will immediately cease operations, and the freedom of Huaxia Bank personnel to leave shall not be interfered with."
"How the court will manage the court in the future and who will be used to manage it are all decided by the court and the princes."
Everyone was dumbfounded before Fang Yuan finished his third condition.
I thought it was such a harsh condition, but I didn’t expect it to be like this?
You know, the imperial court prefers that the staff of Huaxia Bank be arranged by the imperial court itself.
That kind of Huaxia Bank is really managed by the imperial court, rather than continuing to be controlled by Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan’s condition is something that everyone desires.
But it also made everyone feel unbelievable.
"Is Fang Shangshu sure that this is the third condition?"
Changsun Wuji asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"If it is decided that Huaxia Bank will now be handed over to the imperial court, then the staff of Huaxia Bank will be free before get off work today, and everyone can decide on the replacement."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Now everyone heard clearly.
The ministers looked at each other and finally looked at Li Shimin.
"Look what I do?"
"I never said that I would bring Huaxia Bank under the control of the imperial court."
Li Shimin sneered directly.
Don't you want to force me to have a baby? I won't cooperate with you.
When Fang Yuan heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Shimin was not involved.
If Huaxia Bank is owned by the imperial court, it will be of great benefit to the emperor. After all, he is the emperor.
But relatively speaking, the interests are naturally not as great as those completely controlled by Fang Yuan and Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu is loyal, and we are also wholeheartedly considering the imperial court..."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said.
Everything he did was for the court and had no selfish motives.
Although the approach is not good, the starting point is good, and I hope the emperor can support him and others.
"Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu is loyal, and we are also wholeheartedly considering the imperial court..."
Changsun Wuji and others also said the same thing.
"Humph!"
Li Shimin could only snort.
"Your Majesty, let the princes of the imperial court manage it."
"As long as my three conditions are met, I have no objection."
Fang Yuan interjected.
The title of Duke and the institute are privately owned, so as long as you follow your own plan, you can still handle this issue.
"Seriously?"
Li Shimin looked deeply at Fang Yuan.
He couldn't understand what Fang Yuan was thinking.
But since Fang Yuan didn't have any objections, he didn't have much objections either.
It's just that he was a little uncomfortable being forced into the palace by ministers like this.
"Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu has agreed, so just agree."
Changsun Wuji said respectfully.
"Your Majesty agrees!"
Other ministers also spoke one after another.
Most of the ministers in the imperial court gave suggestions.
"Retreat!"
Li Shimin did not agree.
I got up and said I would leave the court and leave here.
The ministers looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
The emperor has been attending court for so long, and this is the first time he has dismissed the court like this.
But the thick-skinned Changsun Wuji and others remained as they were, and went to find Li Shimin after the court was over.
"Your Majesty, we are all doing this for the Tang Dynasty, for the future generations of the Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji sighed and said.
Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and others also spoke in the same way.
It’s all for the Tang Dynasty, for the future generations of the Tang Dynasty, etc.
After everyone tried hard to talk things over, Li Shimin finally agreed.
Without him, it is really good for Datang.
"Can you take over Huaxia Bank?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said.
If you agree, Fang Yuan will immediately stop the operation of Huaxia Bank.
Nowadays, many people in Huaxia Bank are engaged in business every day, so there cannot be any serious mistakes.
“Isn’t it just about exchanging money?”
"It's a small thing."
Gao Shilian chuckled.
As long as you agree, the rest is not a problem.
"There is one more thing that I will tell you."
"The branches of Huaxia Bank all over the world can be managed by the imperial court, but the one in Liaozhou cannot."
"The Huaxia Bank in Liaozhou is completely privately owned by Fang Yuan. You should not interfere with the Huaxia Bank in Liaozhou."
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, and finally agreed with Changsun Wuji and others.
But I also reminded the Huaxia Bank in Liaozhou, hoping that Changsun Wuji and others would pay attention.
In fact, the one in Liaozhou is the headquarters, but because the imperial capital and Fang Yuan are also in Chang'an City, it seems that the Chinese bank in Chang'an City is the headquarters.
"I'll understand later."
Changsun Wuji and others naturally have no objections.
There are fifty or sixty Chinese banks in the world, and there is not even one in Shaoliao Prefecture.
"Let's draw up a decree."
Li Shimin sighed.
Very busy, two imperial edicts came out of the palace.
One explanation explains that Fang Yuan handed over the Huaxia Bank to the imperial court, took the position of Duke Jiang, and was titled Zhou.
Another imperial edict is about the affirmation of the research institute and medical school, which also includes the signature and inscription of the Supreme Emperor.
Being granted the title of Duke is a very solemn matter. The imperial ceremonial team went directly to Fang Mansion and publicized the matter in a high-profile manner in Chang'an City.
"Master has made me a Duke?!"
"Oh my god, we have become the Duke's family!"
"Hahaha, madam, I have been granted the title of Duke!"
Everyone in the Fang Mansion was extremely excited.
We are excited to hold a carnival.
But as the hostesses, Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing were not very happy.
Because it was exchanged with Huaxia Bank, it may still be a loss for Fang Yuan.
Soon, Fang Yuan came back from the Household Department.
"Don't worry, we haven't lost anything."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Zhou Guogong, this title is quite good.
Soon, Huaxia Bank began to make adjustments, and senior executives such as Luxia had already begun to pack things.
At the same time, the imperial court arranged for a large number of officials to arrive to take over all the work of Huaxia Bank.
Before it was time to get off work, some officials said that they had completed the handover, and Lu Xia and others left the bank.
"I'm really reluctant to leave Huaxia Bank like this."
Lu Xia sighed after returning.
There were several senior Chinese officials who came back with her.
"There is no Huaxia Bank or Yanhuang Bank. Just have a good rest for a few days."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Yes, he plans to reopen a bank.
Huaxia Bank has many problems that are difficult to solve, such as bloated staff, heavy debts, etc.
The bloated staff is due to lack of experience at the beginning of the establishment, so many people were hired. Now it is difficult to fire them, so it has not been dealt with.
The problem of debt is naturally the problem of seven-star banknotes. Now countless seven-star banknotes have been exchanged for them, so that the Tang Dynasty treasure banknotes are being printed like crazy.
It won't take a few years for these problems to emerge, which will be a very big crisis for the court.
Since the princes of the imperial court want to force their way into the Huaxia Bank, Fang Yuan can save Fang Yuan from having to deal with those issues, let them go there.
So I agreed to give it to them, and then find a suitable opportunity to reopen a Yanhuang Bank based on the Liaozhou Huaxia Bank.
"That's what the master said."
Lu Xia and others showed understanding smiles.
As long as you can follow Fang Yuan, you don't have to worry about the future.
As Fang Yuan said, if there is no Huaxia Bank, there will still be Yanhuang Bank, just wait and see.
Just like that, Lu Xia and others left to enjoy their vacation.
"Husband, do you want to reopen the bank?"
Du Miaoyan was a little surprised, she didn't expect this.
So, Fang Yuan not only received a reward from the Duke, but also received another imperial edict?
"That's the plan."
"The bank is so profitable, I don't want to miss it easily."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The money of Huaxia Bank is a treasure of the Tang Dynasty, symbolizing the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty changes in the future, the Tang treasure banknotes will become history.
Fang Yuan wants to create a kind of money that can be used even if the Tang Dynasty becomes a historical paper currency.
Naturally, this is a bit fantasy, but it is necessary to get rid of the control of Datang. This is the real market.
"My husband is wise!"
"Changsun Wuji and the others must be so angry that they will vomit blood!"
Du Miaoyan cast an admiring look at Fang Yuan.
In this way, they don't seem to have lost much.
As long as it takes some time, new banks can occupy a certain market.
The new bank is truly under its own control, and there will no longer be the power of the court.
The other side.
Huaxia Bank immediately encountered problems after it was taken over by the imperial court.
