When Ouyang Bian returned to Beijing, he naturally had to go to Zhao Zhen to report his work. After all, the central bank was not an optional institution for the Song Dynasty. The central bank has now become a treasure pot for the Song Dynasty except for the Three Divisions.

Even though the central bank expanded greatly last year, it still paid about 8 million chunks of profit to the court, which accounted for about one-tenth of the Song Dynasty's revenue last year.

Ouyang Bian was shocked when he saw Zhao Zhen because Zhao Zhen became a little unrecognizable.

At the beginning of the year, I heard that Zhao Zhen was in poor health, but this time I came back and saw him again, and found that Zhao Zhen was completely different.

Zhao Zhen’s verbal slant and his speech was unclear, and it was not easy to understand Ouyang Bian’s words. There were some simple things that Ouyang Bian had to say several times before Zhao Zhen could understand.

It looks like I have had a stroke.

Ouyang Bian sighed.

The reception ended soon.

The Political Affairs Hall summoned Ouyang Bian.

This year, the personnel changes in the Zhengshi Hall have been greatly changed. Previous Prime Minister Wen Yanbo was named Duke of Lu, changed to Baoping, and sentenced to Daming Mansion. The second Prime Minister Fu Bi became Prime Minister. However, not long after, his mother suddenly died and left the job and mourned.

Renzong originally appointed him five times with his empty position, and wanted him to continue to serve as prime minister, but Fu Bi was actually a little hesitant.

But Han Qi, who has been promoted to the second prime minister, said that filial piety is the foundation, and that his mother still has to fall in love with her and not go to her character because of her character.

Fu Bi has to say that this is the Jin Geng Change ceremony, which cannot be implemented in a peaceful era, and finally he refused to obey the appointment.

Han Qi was therefore promoted to the position of Prime Minister.

Therefore, when Fu Bi wrote a letter to Ouyang Bian, he was quite angry when he talked about this.

Now Han Qi, the Political Affairs Hall, is the Prime Minister, and Zeng Gongliang is the Second Minister.

Han Qi summoned Ouyang Bian, who acted as an official position and asked Ouyang to argue his duties step by step, and interrogated some issues in detail. Fortunately, Ouyang Bian was in control of the central bank's affairs and did not show any timidity.

After the report, Han Qi said coldly: "The top scholar, who is successful at a young age, must keep his duties and do not do anything too much."

Zeng Gongliang, who was beside him, looked a little surprised.

Ouyang Bian raised his eyebrows and sang: "What does your husband mean?"

Han Qi looked at Ouyang Bian in surprise.

It is right that he wanted to suppress Ouyang Bian, but he didn't expect that Ouyang Bian would dare to question him in person.

Ordinary officials have always been trembling in front of him, and have always been timid when suppressed by him.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Bian dared to question.

Han Qi's face turned dark and said in a deep voice: "The central bank built so-called service areas everywhere, occupied land, and made profits. This is to compete with the people for profit. I heard that the people's livelihood on the North Road of Jinghu are in decline and the people are complaining. Isn't it your fault?"

Ouyang Bian was extremely angry.

This person is really narrow-minded. He just questioned the Privy Council because of the Chenzhou tragedy and the collusion between the generals of the military.

This kind of thing is just a business, not aimed at Han Qi personally. I didn't expect that I would hold a grudge until now.

Last year, he planned to organize a banking supervision guard, and Han Qi was also trying to interfere, and even asked someone to impeach him.

Now he is directly accusing and suppressing him directly. Is there something wrong with this person?

But in an instant, Ouyang Bian calmed down.

Things are not that simple.

Han Qi became famous at a young age, and Fan Zhongyan was already famous all over the world in his time. He was an older generation of politicians. It was impossible to be so superficial... What is his intention?

Ouyang Bian thought urgently.

Is the target a father?

No, my father and Han Qi did not celebrate the festival.

Because of the father-in-law?

It’s not right. My father-in-law wants to worry for three years, and it is not a threat to Han Qi at present.

No, he came to him!

Central Bank, his purpose is the central bank!

This is clearer.

Although the central bank does not involve the operation of national taxation, salt and iron, as a national settlement agency and the service area it has opened, the central bank has only 8 million guans of profits given to the court every year, but its actual assets are in units of billions of guans.

Han Qi had no way to control the three departments, because the two governments and three departments were each in charge of the red line.

It is a big taboo to seek help from the Three Departments or the Privy Council.

Han Qi wants to expand his power, but cannot surpass the red line.

But the central bank is different. The central bank is a new thing, and the political affairs hall has the power to nominally supervise the central bank.

Han Qi, this is trying to control the central bank!

Han Qi must have taken a fancy to the central bank's massive amount of funds.

It is understandable if the central bank's huge funds can be controlled by the power of the Political Affairs Hall, with the power of the Political Affairs Hall, there will be more things that can be done without being checked and balanced by the three departments.

Moreover, the central bank's open banking supervision guards are also envious.

Han Qi was from the Privy Council, so he naturally knew the achievements of the Banking Regulatory Commission in the past two years. The Banking Regulatory Commission had only 5,000 soldiers on the surface, but these 5,000 were all cavalry, fully armed cavalry!

After two years of war, it has become a powerful soldier in a hundred battles. With these five thousand elite soldiers, the Zhengshi Hall will do more.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Bian said calmly: "What my husband said is evidence. Our censors in the Song Dynasty can report on the news, but the prime minister cannot speak nonsense."

Zeng Gong's eyes lit up.

This fightback is beautiful.

As the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, Zeng Gongliang naturally knew what Ouyang Bian did on Jinghu North Road.

The opening of the central bank's service area has received rave reviews throughout Jinghu North Road, especially merchants. The merchants in the Song Dynasty were not just merchants, but many of them were officials in the court.

Zeng Gongliang is in a high position, so naturally some of his family are helping with the industry.

The Zeng family also has some industries on the other side of Jinghu North Road. His cousin who he helped manage went to Jinghu North Road and also settled in the central bank's service area. After returning, he praised it.

So Zeng Gongliang also went to know about it specifically. According to him, although the national bandit suppression by the Banking Regulatory Commission made the country's economy explode.

However, the outbreak of Jinghu North Road was particularly fierce. In the first and second quarters of this year, the tax revenue of Jinghu North Road has quickly climbed to the top five of the 18th Road in the country.

Before this, Jinghu North Road was in the last few.

As for why Jinghu North Road performs so well, is there any need to say more? It must be due to the contribution of the central bank's service area.

What Han Qi said about competing with the people for profit and resentment is just some rustic words for business, and it is just a casual suppression. It is actually impossible to withstand deep research.

If it is ordinary officials, the Prime Minister suppresses it, regardless of whether it makes sense, just realizing that the Prime Minister is dissatisfied with him is enough to make them tremble.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Bian dared to resist in person. The key point is that Zeng Gongliang discovered that Ouyang Bian was angry when he replied for the first time, but the second answer was that he was already calm and did not look like a young man, but an old politician.

The logic of Ouyang Bian's words is, "You said I am guilty, okay, what about the evidence?"

The Song Dynasty was very tolerant of censors. As long as they heard of some news, they could impeach them. The court would not require censors to prove it. Generally, the impeached person proved himself or the court investigated it. It would not require censors to verify it, nor would it require censors to disclose the source of the news.

But the prime minister is not a censor. The prime minister cannot tell others casually. Once he says it, he must be able to produce evidence. If he cannot produce evidence, it is a false accusation.

Of course, it is not a big deal for the prime minister to scold his subordinates, but if the accusation is too obvious, the prime minister's majesty will be damaged, which is certain.

Combined with the facts Zeng Gongliang learned, Han Qi was obviously about to be slapped in the face. This is a loophole in Han Qi's words.

This boy is amazing, it seems to be only fifteen years old?

Han Qi was immediately furious when Ouyang Bian was beaten like this.

"Since ancient times, the country has not competed for profit with the people. This is a general principle. However, the central bank has enclosed land everywhere and created restaurants and restaurants. It also has high fees, so people have to spend high prices on food and accommodation.

I heard that the high prices in the service area are simply a sucking marrow to the people. It is no different from shameless profiteers. How do you defend this matter!"

Han Qi scolded him angrily.

Ouyang Bian laughed.
Chapter completed!
