That is to say, the officials in the Hubu Yamen have not yet seen the power of the Communications Bank, otherwise the contradiction between the two departments will become more acute.
The existence of the Communications Bank has actually partially usurped the authority of the Ministry of Revenue, but the officials of the Ministry of Revenue still view bank affairs in the old light, otherwise it would not be as simple as not allocating money.
Sure enough, after the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue told Jin Jin that he would be poor, and when Jin Jin became impatient and asked if there was any solution, he proposed that the Transportation Bank should advance the payment in advance and wait for the tax money from various places to arrive to make up for it.
This is a good idea!
At least that's what I think now, and that's what I told the elder.
"This is not a problem, but we must first ask the Ministry of Accounts to pay off the money owed for the project!"
The elder agreed immediately, but in the blink of an eye he put forward a condition: "Several months have passed, and the money from the bank did not come from the strong wind. What does it mean that the Ministry of Accounts has been delaying the payment?"
"Is this happening?"
Now his face darkened and he said angrily: "What is the specific situation?"
Ignoring the embarrassed expression of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, the elder smiled and explained: "Some small and medium-sized projects of the Ministry of Industry have started. Because I don't want to waste too much time and energy on discussions at the court meeting, after finalizing the plan and submitting it to the cabinet for approval, I will start with
The Communications Bank takes the money to start work, and the Ministry of Accounts will slowly make up the money later!"
Today, he nodded because he had such a thing and the cabinet reported it to him. At that time, he also praised the Ministry of Industry for taking the initiative and being enterprising.
"It's a pity that the Ministry of Industry is very active and busy, but the Ministry of Household Affairs is very delayed in project funding. If you push it, you will be given a little more, and if you push it again, you will be given a little more. Until now, even last year's project funding has not been paid.
It has not been fully settled, and now we have to allocate a large amount of money from the traffic bank to start the project!"
Having said this, he turned back to the present and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this situation is very dangerous. If the people who deposit their money in the traffic bank feel that it is not safe, and there is a sudden wave of bank runs, the bank will be in danger of bankruptcy in an instant.
Then the fun will be great!”
"Master Jia, are you too careful? What risks could there be?"
However, the Minister of Household Affairs disagreed and sneered: "With Master Jia's reputation, is it possible that the common people who save money will get into trouble?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
The elder said unceremoniously: "How about your Majesty asking the Ministry of Finance to issue an official document and give the money from the Ministry of Finance to the Communications Bank as a guarantee?"
"Nonsense!"
The face of the Minister of Hubu changed and he said angrily: "The money from the Hubu is used by the national treasury, how can it be used as a guarantee for private banks?"
"Since you are not happy, why do you have the nerve to repeatedly ask Communications Bank to advance funds?"
The elder sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't tell me that the Ministry of Finance really has no money. No one knows the dirty thoughts of everyone in the Ministry of Finance. How about we talk about it now and let His Majesty make the judgement?"
"you!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was startled. He glared at the elder and snorted coldly: "I don't know what kind of evil can be done in the Ministry of Finance. Mr. Jia must be held responsible for his nonsense!"
hey-hey……
The elder sneered repeatedly without saying anything. He turned around and said to Jin Jin with a playful look on his face: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to solve the current dilemma!"
A storm had already arisen in his heart. Unfortunately, the eldest master had no intention of continuing, which made him a little disappointed and dissatisfied. Now was not the time to pursue these matters, so he had to ask angrily: "Jia Enhou, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly.
Just come out!"
"Didn't the local tax bankers be escorted to Beijing?"
The elder smiled and said: "Then just use the local tax money as collateral, withdraw an equal amount of money from the major banks, and let the banks go to the local tax money themselves!"
"joke!"
The Minister of Revenue sneered: "It takes so much effort and effort, those bankers are stupid to do this!"
Today, I am also full of doubts. There are many powerful banks in the capital, and their backends are very powerful. Many of them also have partial shares, so they naturally know that the banks are not santangs.
"It's time for Shangshu to worry about it!"
The elder said calmly: "Your Majesty, please give it a try. The results will be available within three to five days!"
"Well!"
Now I am a little relieved. I thought it would be time-consuming. Since it only lasts three to five days, it is not a delay, so I directly agreed: "Jia Aiqing, do a good job, and I will be rewarded heavily when the job is completed!"
If it is really done by the great master, can he imitate it in the future?
At that time, the imperial court will not have to bother and expend huge energy and cost to escort the local tax money back to the capital, and can directly withdraw the same amount of silver from the capital's banks. At least it will save the imperial court millions of taels of silver every year.
, it is definitely a great achievement.
As for whether the bank can get tax money from the local government, there is no doubt about this now.
Who can open a bank to the capital and spread its influence to the local area? No matter how arrogant the local officials are, they will not dare to force it. At most, they will only get a small profit from it.
That is the process of negotiation between the bank and the local government. It has little to do with the court. There is no need to worry about it now.
You must know that escorting tax bankers from the local area to Beijing is not a simple task. The current traffic conditions are very bad, the tax bank vehicles are very heavy, and sufficient manpower must be sent to protect them. Even if you take the waterway, it cannot be said to be safe.
Every few years, there will be a wave of bank robberies, or a major case of a government ship transporting tax money capsizing in the canal. The water inside is really deep, and today we are not willing to spend too much thought and energy on it.
.
The idea put forward by the elder is indeed a good one. If it can be completed, the court will have less trouble in the future and its control over the local area will be strengthened.
The local government has no excuse to withhold taxes and money, and has no strength to confront the court. Whatever it wants to do, it needs the financial support of the court. In this way, the power of the court will be greatly increased.
The current premise is that the eldest master can succeed this time and convince the banks in the capital to agree to such exchange conditions.
The elder is quite confident in this. The tax bank can be said to represent the will of the imperial court. As long as any bank can deposit a local tax bank, its reputation and influence will rise and reach a new level.
This opportunity is very helpful for the bank to expand its sphere of influence. Not only is the big man confident that he can do it well, but he is also sure that the bank that joins will pay a huge entry fee.
Both the current minister and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue have basically no idea about the court's credit, and they don't know the huge role of the court's credit, so they easily gave up such a good thing to the great master.
In fact, the big boss has a better idea, which is to develop the traffic bank into a national policy bank. Just like the four major state-owned banks in modern times, it will directly integrate local taxes into the front-end management system. This will be more convenient and allow
In one fell swoop, the Ministry of Industry became a large yamen parallel to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It's just that the elder didn't do it after thinking about it. The main reason is that the bank has too few management talents with modern thinking. Another reason is that the atmosphere of the entire bureaucracy is very bad. A bunch of civil servants who came from the imperial examination know nothing about modern finance.
As we all know, greed is really terrifying. A bad idea ended up being a money-making tool for certain interest groups.
Once the country's money is in the hands of certain interest groups, and it is still half-hearted, it is really too dangerous. If something goes wrong, it may trigger Teochew drama, turmoil or even war.
There are gods and practitioners in the world of Red Mansion. The elder’s soul cultivation has reached a certain level at this time, and he can vaguely sense the existence of luck. If Daqi is in turmoil because of him, he may have to bear the consequences.
What a backlash of luck.
Although he didn't care very much, he didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble. Besides, taking too big a step was not a good thing, so it was better to take it step by step.
The main thing is that the big boss cannot completely control the new financial industry, and he will never give it up. Even if the modern financial industry is introduced to the Daqi court in advance, it will have huge benefits for the Daqi Dynasty, but the uncontrollable situation is still called
He didn't want to take too many risks.
This time, the confrontation with the Minister of Hubu naturally aroused hostility from all the people in the Hubu, making it even more difficult to get money from the Hubu.
Even with today's instructions, it would be too easy for the Ministry of Finance to do anything.
The elder has long been fed up with being held hostage by the Ministry of Revenue. It would be fine if the Ministry of Revenue acted in accordance with the rules and regulations, but when everyone in the Ministry of Revenue wants to take advantage of the convenience in their hands to reap benefits, it is intolerable to the elder.
What the hell, all the money transferred from the Account Department will be automatically removed from the third layer before it leaves the door of the Account Department. This is the so-called unspoken rule.
This is not the most unpleasant thing for the elder. Every time the Ministry of Accounts allocates money, it is very unpleasant. The money that can be paid in one go has to be divided several times. Every time, the Ministry of Works has to take the initiative to send people to come to ask for it, and all kinds of accompaniments
Not to mention laughing, that kind of face that secretly seeks favors and acts like charity is really disgusting.
Fortunately, when the elder first joined the Ministry of Industry, he was the second-in-command, Zuo Shilang. This kind of work of teasing and profiting did not require him to do it himself, otherwise he would probably get killed due to his temperament.
But since the elder became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry began to carry out infrastructure construction, and was blocked by the Ministry of Household Affairs many times. Only then was it forced to run a transportation bank. When the final settlement was made, the project money could be obtained.
He is in his early 60s and is simply more vampire than a vampire.
According to the elder, I have already become a second-rank Minister of Industry, so why should I feel shorter in front of the Minister of Hubu?
Nima, the Minister of Household Affairs is just the manager of the treasury, and the Household Department does not belong to your family. He has made so many unspoken rules, which is simply disgusting. I may not dare to offend the Household Department, but the eldest master will not.
