774 Collision
Sometimes His Majesty Emperor Gefla hated his father, his grandfather and those so-called ancestors.

Obviously there is a chance to make this country a toy in the hands of the royal family, but these people have chosen the most stupid way to rule this country.

It seems to be a very balanced approach to decentralize power to the nobles and let the nobles restrict the power of the royal family.

The power of the nobles will not be too inflated, and the power in the hands of the emperor will not be out of control due to dictatorship, but as an emperor, he is very unhappy now.

The Minister of Defense's request is very reasonable. A country's finances are a very important task. The position of Minister of Finance is now vacant. The specific matters are discussed and decided by everyone.

At first glance, this method seems to be very good. The result of everyone's discussion will definitely not be biased towards a certain party, and everyone...at least most people think that it is appropriate to do so, so they will make the same decision.

But the fact is that this has seriously interfered with the normal operation of the financial work, and the new finance minister has not filled the vacancy, so the position of the finance department cannot be casually placed in it for the time being.

If the future candidates and the current situation change, the people who are placed in various places may be kicked out, which will make everyone look bad. So far, the deputy of each place is in charge of the work.

It is necessary to come up with a charter to elect the chancellor of the exchequer as soon as possible, so that some small things will not seriously affect the speed of work due to non-content factors such as positions.

But the problem is, asking at this time, at this place, does not seem like a discussion, but rather like forcing His Majesty to make a decision, whether it is good or bad, these people are forcing him and are unwilling to give him More opportunities to prepare.

After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor said, "Do you have any good suggestions for the new Minister of Finance?"

Use the new finance minister to stabilize other ministers. The emperor gave the ministers the right to nominate. His intention is actually very obvious. He still wants the finance minister to maintain a relatively neutral position. For the time being, he is not willing to fall out with these ministers. .

The Secretary of the Navy remained silent. He looked down at the ring on his finger, as if he was thinking about something.

For the Minister of the Navy, no matter who is the Minister of Finance, it is impossible to be short of the navy's various budgets. The most powerful force at present, and the only force that can be used by Gefra, is the navy.

Not appropriating funds for the Navy is tantamount to cutting yourself, or cutting it where it hurts the most. No matter who becomes the chancellor of the exchequer, he will inevitably talk and laugh with him as before.

The Minister of War looked up at the painted paintings on the top of the hall, like a scholar obsessed with studying various arts, immersed in the ocean of art.

Strengthening the construction of the army is also the result of everyone's discussions, and with the shift of focus, the value of the navy in the Ameria region is actually not great.

It is impossible for them to bombard their own cities. The deterrent power of the navy is almost zero, and the army is the most important one.

The plan of the "huge land country" has entered the implementation stage, and the role of the army is becoming more and more obvious, and it is also becoming more and more important. He is not worried about anyone who dares to choke the army's pocketbook, because he simply doesn't want to live.

Most of the other ministers were either fluctuating or silent. They were not very interested in the proposal of who could be the chancellor of the exchequer.

Some people's gazes were already on the prime minister, and the prime minister was also silent, as if everyone in the hall lost the ability to speak for a while.

After an unknown period of time, about two or three minutes, maybe a little longer, the prime minister suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

"It seems that there is no suitable candidate in everyone's mind. It is better for me to take up this job temporarily. After everyone thinks of a suitable candidate, we will reassign the job."

He said without hesitation, looking directly at His Majesty the Emperor, and the two looked at each other with a distance of more than ten meters.

The emperor was condescending, the prime minister raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

The prime minister's gaze was gentle, without any aggressiveness, and there was a smile in his eyes, as well as a courtier's flattery towards the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were a little sharp, as if he was asking the prime minister why he dared to do this, and how dare he really do it?
Neither of them backed down from each other. After looking at each other for a while, His Majesty shook his head, "The Prime Minister is busy with work, and your complexion is very bad these days. If you also work as the Minister of Finance, I don't want to... call Come and accuse me of exploiting his husband."

The woman His Majesty said was the prime minister's wife and the daughter of a nobleman, who was somewhat related to the royal family.

Her father's aunt is the granddaughter of His Majesty's grandfather's grandfather, and it sounds like she should be a certain grandma of His Majesty the Emperor.

In terms of relationship, this is indeed the case, but in fact, when the royal family and nobles talk about these issues, the "nobility" they talk about always has nothing to do with blood.

First one-half, then one-fourth, then one-eighth, one-sixteenth, one-thirty-two, according to family generation, the prime minister should also be the emperor's "brother"

Even though the two parties seem to have some blood relatives, once the power is involved, everyone in this hall can kill their relatives with their own hands.

For them, everything can be lost, except rights.

Just like the capitalists of the Federation, they can throw away everything that people think is precious, but they don't let others touch their wealth.

The reason is the same, to have power, or to have wealth, is equivalent to having everything, and those others are just a kind of "illusion" of life, just a spice used to embellish their boring life.

His majesty's evasive attitude gave the prime minister some thoughts. He could feel that the emperor was avoiding and sharpening the issue. Normally, the prime minister would have given in, but this time he couldn't.

"Your Majesty, we can delay some things, but the sooner this kind of thing comes to fruition, the more responsible we are, the country, and the people."

The Prime Minister looked at His Majesty and said what he wanted to say, "If Your Majesty doesn't have any suitable candidates, why not let the nobles of the Privy Council discuss it together..."

This has been a tradition many years ago. When the ministers disagree with the emperor, the Privy Council can intervene.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the founding emperor may have imagined the imperial power, the three interest groups of the ministers and the aristocratic group opposed each other and supported each other, and no one interest group was allowed to surpass the other two.

However, in the subsequent execution process, the Privy Council and those nobles who were supposed to be members of the Federal Congress gradually became bystanders.

Now the Prime Minister wants the Privy Council to discuss it, which is in line with Gafla's laws and policies, but...the Prime Minister's intentions are too obvious.

The emperor hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Yes, let the Privy Council discuss it."

His Majesty the Emperor took a step back, and the Prime Minister actually took a step back. They moved the main battlefield from the Palace of the Rulers to the Privy Council. The next step is that the two sides will fight for the nobles as much as possible.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, he has inherent advantages over the Prime Minister.

This is not to say that he is the advantage of the emperor of the empire, but the advantage of "the chancellor is a person".

If the Prime Minister is allowed to concurrently serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, then the Department of Finance will be filled with a large number of Prime Ministers, and there will be one less position for the Minister of Power.

However, if the prime minister is not allowed to be the prime minister, and someone else is in charge, more nobles in the Privy Council will be able to hold power, and some of them will be able to directly become the next minister of power.

This kind of temptation is actually more attractive than the Prime Minister serving as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The eyes of the two separated, and they began to discuss some other matters, such as...the aftermath of Yuanrong Capital.

With hundreds of millions of funds and hundreds of millions of black holes, the whole world is paying attention to this case, and His Majesty the Emperor and ministers are actually having a headache.

If it is not handled well, it will become an international laughing stock, which people are unwilling to accept.

"Your Majesty, the issue of the gold certificate is easy to solve..." The attitude of the Prime Minister who entered the working state has completely changed from before, and he has become serious and responsible.

He adjusted his sitting posture, the "court meeting" between Gafla's ministers and the emperor was more like a morning tea that might not be so leisurely at times.

"We refund according to different denomination ratios given to different batches of gold coupons. Gold coupons are the only voucher. Many people have torn up their gold coupons before, which also saves us a part of the refund work..."

After Yuanrong Capital was defined as a fraud, Yuanrong Financial Bonds immediately became waste paper, and the financial products that people were willing to spend money to buy were worth the price of waste paper in an instant.

Many people tore up those gold coupons out of venting their anger and other ideas. In addition to some strategies of the Prime Minister's withdrawal, although some of the money was secretly transferred away by Richard in various ways, it could not be retrieved.

But generally speaking, the loss of the refund coupon is not a big problem. Everyone will lose a little. At this time, as long as not all losses are in it, everyone can accept it.

"The most troublesome problem now is the stock issue of Yuanrong Capital. This is the hardest hit area. Many people invest in it. They think their losses should be paid by the empire."

"If we want to use our own money to make up for the losses of these people, it is obviously impossible, but if they don't get compensation, they will continue to make trouble."

"So we should think of a countermeasure that can solve these problems, at least let them stop making trouble."

Now the opinion of the public is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer colluded with Richard, the chairman of Yuanrong Capital, and through some behind-the-scenes money and power transactions, Yuanrong Capital was listed on the stock market in violation of regulations.

Therefore, the losses of shareholders should be borne by two parts. The first part is the financing capital, and the second part is the country represented by the chancellor.

Yuan financing capital is finished, and you can't get money from them, but the empire is still there. Those people's thinking is that they should get back at least a little, 50.00% will do.

Easier said than done.

A few hundred million black holes, even if it is 50.00%, is still one or two hundred million. This money is not so easy to make up!

At least the treasury is definitely impossible!
