Fang Xuanling didn't even know how he walked out of Liangyi Palace. He was completely speechless. What do you think we, the minister, don't work hard? Is there too much in the memorial? This...he couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant for a moment.
But the appointment of Li Yan and other people at Central Bank must have been approved.
Just like His Majesty said, do you have a suitable candidate?
Fang Xuanling definitely doesn't have it, and it can't be said that he doesn't have it. If he does, he must not, because he finally let His Highness take charge of this matter. How could he come back in the end? This is the current situation.
The first female official in the Tang Dynasty, or the first third-rank female official with real power in history, just appeared! This will definitely be recorded in the history books. This is not the point. The point is that the other party is only seventeen years old this year. What kind of start is this? In ancient times, Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister twelve times, but few people know that Gan Luo died before he was even thirteen years old.
There are some records in the history books of the Tang Dynasty. Although they are only a few, there are many rumors circulated by the outside world, but they are not true. The real reason is that he died in a court battle.
He has the ability, but ability and fighting with the court are two different things.
And Li Yan... is just seventeen years old, and she is still a young lady. The pressure she is under is probably no less than that of Gan Luo. Of course, the problem is that Li Yan's background is strong enough. To a certain extent, His Majesty is her backing, so the routine The court battle will certainly not threaten Li Yan.
However, normal exchanges and embarrassments between various departments definitely exist. This matter passed through His Majesty and the three provinces. However, it is impossible for the people above to completely control the difficulties caused by the officials of the lower departments, and they cannot control it, because of these If you make things difficult, you can't be honest.
If Miss Li Yan can't bear it, the final pressure will still be on herself. Who knows what will happen at that time.
Alas, it’s not that easy for Shangshu Zuopushe to do.
The entire appointment was approved very quickly, and it can be said that this incident instantly caused a huge shock in the entire court! There may only be twenty or thirty officials in the Tang Dynasty, but there are at least hundreds or thousands of officials working in various yamen throughout the imperial city.
Many of these people have been working for more than ten years and are only officials of the fourth and fifth grades. However, a 17-year-old girl becomes a third-grade official with real power... Who do you think can be convinced?
It's just that they all know Li Yan's identity and status. This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. His Royal Highness King Qin's possible future Princess Qin. There will definitely be discussions behind it. The yin and yang on the front is not necessarily the case, but the specific embarrassment... can't be said. Be embarrassed.
The Central Bank was established to manage Datang's treasury and other related special industries. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance, the Audit Department and other relevant departments must be the first to contact the Central Bank, and they are also the first to hand over relevant work.
After the preparations for the entry of the relevant personnel of the Central Bank are completed, a series of questions will definitely come up.
Li Ke spent several days at home identifying and developing new traditional clothing before meeting Li Yan.
"How is it?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"There is pressure, but the problem should not be major. It is not the same as dealing with Xizhou affairs. Xizhou affairs are relatively trivial and focus on overall arrangements. Although the central bank also has needs in this regard, there is currently not much pressure on coordination. After I find some people and build several data models, I estimate that the relevant operations of the central bank will become relatively mature in the next few years."
"The current preliminary work will probably focus on the statistics of the treasury." Li Yan gave Li Ke a brief introduction to the relevant situation.
"As long as you think there is no problem, there will definitely be more and more jobs for the central bank." How many jobs will there be for a central bank in future generations? Just managing the treasury is a horrific workload.
Although there are definitely not as many tasks now as in later generations, after all, many tasks cannot be carried out now, but there are also not so many tools to assist now.
"Well, the main problem is the training of personnel. More and more people are definitely needed." Li Yan nodded, "Your Highness, aren't you planning to directly make the central bank independent in a few years? Then build other banks. By then, the central bank will The functions will be handed over to other banks, and we will definitely need to train a lot of talents in this area."
"You are right, it is just a temporary measure at the moment." Li Ke nodded and said, the central bank cannot become a commercial bank for a long time, and subsequent central banks will definitely stop related businesses.
"Then do you have any questions that you need my help with?" Li Ke asked again with a smile.
"No, everything is fine." Li Yan smiled and shook her head.
Seeing Li Yan's look, Li Ke nodded slightly and said nothing more. Since Li Yan didn't say anything, it proved that there were some problems that did not require Li Ke's help.
If Li Yan asks for help, then Li Ke will definitely help. Nonsense, his future wife will definitely protect her.
Since Li Yan doesn't need it, it proves that Li Yan can handle it on her own, and she will have to face these things sooner or later. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the previous Xizhou was just a child's play, and no one there would target Li Yan at all.
Those who have strength and power in Xizhou are all related to Li Yan, and those who have no strength or ability naturally do not dare to target Li Yan.
"After you have dealt with the relevant issues in a few days, go and take over the relevant warehouses. Then all the things in the warehouses will be sold to me for processing here." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes. Your Highness, you have to give me detailed data on the specific printed banknotes, copper coins and related silver and gold reserves."
"no problem."
"In addition, we need to sign a loan contract with you and the Tang Dynasty Royal Trust." Li Yan added.
For example, the gold and silver exchanged by the central bank are theoretically part of the treasury. Gold reserves and silver reserves are theoretically considered immovable assets of the treasury. They are included in the total assets of the Tang Dynasty treasury, but they are not. External circulation.
Of course, ancient circulation was dominated by copper coins, which was different from that of later generations. But in short, the Tang Dynasty treasury currently does not have that much money to support the issuance of banknotes, so this part of the silver reserves can naturally only come from the Tang Dynasty Royal Trust and Li Ke’s private assets. Make a loan.
"Okay. Just follow the normal process." Li Ke didn't care. Even if some money was transferred from the left hand to the right hand, the procedures must be followed.
"Well, I have another question." Li Yan hesitated and said.
"What's the problem?" Li Ke looked at her doubtfully and asked.
"Are Taiji Palace and Daming Palace considered assets of the Tang Dynasty or the Tang royal family?" Li Yan asked a key question.
"Uh..." Li Ke was stunned by his future wife's question.
This is hard to say. If Li Ke told his father that the house you live in and the house you built is not actually your house... I wonder if his father would be confused.
