Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji arrived very quickly. Fang Xuanling was a relatively stable person. If he said something big happened, it would be something big, so the two of them naturally rushed over as soon as possible. After they were brought over, they first saw Fang Xuanling in the yard outside.
"Liang Guogong, what happened?" Wei Zheng asked with some confusion.
"The right minister arranged by His Highness to be responsible for the specific matters of the Central Bank has arrived, but this candidate is a bit special. This is your job, Lord Zheng." Fang Xuanling went over first.
"Go away, Fang Qiao, I've seen through you recently. It's usually not a good thing if you say this, and you know how to tease people if you're secretly sarcastic, right?" Wei Zheng said with a sneer.
"How is it possible? Zheng Guogong, you are from Yushitai, which is the highest supervisory agency in the Tang Dynasty. What's more, the Supervisory Committee is also in your hands now. This aspect is indeed your expertise." Fang Xuanling said quickly road.
Wei Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. This man had lost all face recently.
Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to him, intervened at this time: "Then what is going on with Duke Liang?"
"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to gossip about people behind their backs. In this way, if I call them out, you will all know." Fang Xuanling laughed, and then said loudly and quickly: "Li Shangshu, Duke Zheng and Duke Zhao are here. , come out and say hello.”
Following Fang Xuanling's greeting, a pretty figure soon walked out. When this figure appeared, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji were immediately stunned.
Your Highness...you are awesome! This idea suddenly appeared in Wei Zheng's mind.
It has to be you, Your Highness! He instantly understood why Fang Xuanling had called him over, because His Highness was so outrageous as to appoint a seventeen-year-old lady as a third-rank official!
More than a thousand years later, it would be as outrageous for a twenty-year-old girl to directly serve as a ministerial official.
It would be abnormal if Wei Zheng didn't spray.
More importantly, this is a young lady, but Wei Zheng didn't know how to complain for a while. Women cannot be officials. This is a consensus from ancient times to the present. The Tang Dynasty is no exception, but in fact, whether it is an official or an imperial examination, Is there any explicit rule in the system that women are not allowed to participate? No, not really.
The ancients also had a tacit understanding in this regard. How could such a clearly war-inducing rule appear? It is enough that everyone knows that this is an unspoken rule.
"Wei Chen Li Yan and the Right Minister of the Central Bank have met Zheng Guogong and Zhao Guogong." Li Yan saluted Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Both of them hurriedly returned the gift. Wei Zheng was a little speechless. Another reason was that this... might be the queen in the future!
"His Highness appointed the young lady to be in charge of this department. I wonder if the young lady knows the importance of the Central Bank?" Wei Zheng took a deep breath and was not even willing to call Li Shangshu. At least he didn't think it was possible. Mainly because Wei Zheng felt that he should leave it alone. In addition, how could such an important department of the Central Bank be put in charge of a young lady, and a super young lady at that.
No matter what, he had to speak out.
"I know. The central bank will be the national bank in the future, and it has a very important responsibility." Li Yan nodded lightly.
"I wonder who the young lady is studying under? Do you have the confidence to take part in the imperial examination?" Wei Zheng continued to ask.
"Self-taught." Li Yan looked calm and spit out an answer that made the three of them extremely speechless.
Wei Zheng's question means that Li Yan is a student of which Confucian scholar, but a self-taught scholar can't handle Wei Zheng. What's going on with this familiar smell?
"There is no room for any sand in national affairs, and they must be treated with caution and no mistakes can be made." Wei Zheng said again.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Zheng strangely and couldn't help but said: "Zheng Guogong, are you so tactful?"
Grass! Wei Zheng almost cursed, "Damn it," he said, as if you didn't know the truth. Didn't you take full responsibility for it? What did you ask me to do? Are you calling me tactful now? If you have the ability, don't be tactful.
"I know what you mean, Mr. Zheng Guo, but since I dare to take on this job, I will naturally not delay national affairs. The main reason is that I think that besides me, there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can hold this position. Since Zheng Guogong has doubts, let me ask, Zheng Guogong, is background, teachers, and connections more important for holding this position, or is talent and ability more important?" Li Yan said with a smile.
Wei Zheng: "..."
This tastes right!
"Of course talent and ability are more important." In this current scene, Wei Zheng certainly couldn't say that the former was more important, even if he actually wanted to say that it was equally important, but after thinking about it, did Li Yan have a bad background? What a fart!
"Isn't that right? The central bank is responsible for formulating financial industry reform, opening up and development plans, undertaking comprehensive research and coordinating major issues in financial operations, and also takes the lead in macro review frameworks and assists the Ministry of Finance in formulating finance-related regulations. Major laws and regulations.”
"And formulate and be responsible for monetary policy, credit policy, and improve the monetary control system. It will assume the responsibility of the lender of last resort and supervise the bond market, currency market, foreign exchange market, and gold market among other banks that will appear in the future."
"Issue the currency of the Tang Dynasty - Tang Yuan, manage the circulation of Tang Yuan, calculate the total amount of currency required for the entire Tang Dynasty, formulate recovery of damaged currency, and increase shipments based on the annual GDP of the Tang Dynasty. And assist in the management of the treasury, and Promote the establishment of a credit reporting industry and promote the establishment of a social credit system for large enterprises."
"Of course I dare not neglect so many important functions, and the abilities related to mathematics and coordination are my expertise, so I have the ability and confidence to take over this task. If Zheng Guogong has any questions, You can teach me." Li Yan said calmly.
Wei Zheng: "..."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
This...does it still have so many functions? The key point is that the vocabulary used for these functions... sounds very advanced, and the literal meaning can be understood, but why can the three of them only partially understand it together?
Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to ask the other party what these words mean at this time?
And what they hear most clearly is the currency issue, but what is the gross national product? Calculate the total amount of currency required by Datang? Does the monetary aggregate still need to be calculated? Isn’t this thing distributed as many times as it is available?
"It's not that I want to teach you. After all, this is a matter for the Ministry of Finance. I came here just to fulfill the duty of reminding you. When the Central Bank was handed over to His Highness, I said that all officials of the Central Bank will be under the supervision of His Highness for the time being. Submit the list and we will make the appointment, so I must confirm it here." Wei Zheng straightened his clothes and spoke calmly.
Fang Xuanling: "???"
