Chapter 1279 Ye Mingsheng’s mistake!

In addition to the negotiations with the Jinghai Army, Ye Mingsheng also received a very important piece of news. The news was that Cui Shao and Li Jian went to the Ministry of Personnel and reached a consensus with Gu Sansi on the issue of layoffs.

The unanimous opinion of these three people is to mainly cut down the staff of the Great Zhou in Jingchu, Huainan, Jiangnan, Guanzhong, Yongliang, Anqing and other places, while no large-scale layoffs will be carried out in Liaoyang, Youyan, Qilu, Jiyu, and Yun, which were previously controlled by the Fengwu Army!

Ye Mingsheng understood the thoughts of these three people. It was nothing more than that they had their own people in Youyan, Qilu, Jiyu, Yunbing and Liaoyang, so these three great Zhou elders did not want to turn the blade inward to cut off their own people.
Ye Mingsheng basically supported the ideas of these three people. After all, the basis of Ye Mingsheng's rule was undoubtedly the Fengwu Army. If too many members of this team were cut, Ye Mingsheng's control over Bureau Z would naturally be weakened, and this was something Ye Mingsheng did not want to see!

Of course, not carrying out large-scale layoffs does not mean that Ye Mingsheng will not purge his old team. Ye Mingsheng has already read the audit report of Dadongsheng Company, so he knows very well how quickly these people can become corrupt. At the same time, Ye Mingsheng knows even more clearly that the situation of Dadongsheng is by no means an isolated case!
Ye Mingsheng believes that a new round of cleanup is very necessary. At least it can make some people with ill intentions afraid to do evil. Moreover, if the old team is not reorganized, those newly surrendered members will definitely say that they are dissatisfied with the distinction between relatives and friends, which is not conducive to unity.

In short, Ye Mingsheng was very pleased that Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, and Li Jian supported his idea of ​​layoffs. Although he could also force the implementation of the policy, his will needed to be carried out by the people below...
The third piece of news is also an eye-catching one. This news is related to Cui Shao. Previously, Ye Mingsheng used the silver confiscated from Jiangnan as capital and established Wanfu and Tongxin banks with several major businesses in Jiangnan, and asked them to be responsible for the loan issues of major businesses in Jiangnan.

At the same time, Ye Mingsheng did not hand over the management rights of the two banks to the local governor, but publicly recruited a shopkeeper from the entire Jiangnan area. The shopkeeper was then responsible for the specific operation of the bank, and only the Jiangnan governor was allowed to supervise and provide some policy leadership.

Ye Mingsheng was basically satisfied with his design, and it was said that Murong Yuliang acted quickly in Lin'an. The frameworks of the Wanfu and Tongxin banks had basically been established, and the chief, second and third managers of the two banks had also been selected.

Ye Mingsheng was very pleased with Murong Yuliang's efficiency and speed in doing things. Although Murong Yuliang also had many problems, Ye Mingsheng always admired his ability and efficiency in doing his work!
It was precisely because of this kind of appreciation that Ye Mingsheng made up his mind to go against all odds and promote Murong Yuliang, who had just been dismissed from the position of Huainan Censor, to the position of Jianghuai Governor, who was in charge of the political affairs of Jiangnan and Huainan provinces!
Although Ye Mingsheng was very satisfied, it was said that there was a person in Yijing who had objections to this, and that person was Ye Mingsheng's third uncle Cui Shao!

However, Cui Shao did not have any objection to Ye Mingsheng promoting Murong Yuliang to the position of Governor of Jianghuai. He was very ambiguous about Ye Mingsheng's appointment. He neither expressed support nor opposition and seemed to be taking a wait-and-see attitude...
What Cui Shao really disagreed with was that Ye Mingsheng made the Jiangnan Provincial Government the major shareholder of the Wanfu and Tongxin banks, and let the Jiangnan Provincial Government supervise the two banks!

Cui Shao believed that it was a very good move for Ye Mingsheng to hand over the management of Wanfu and Tongxin banks to professional managers, which would enable the two banks to play a better role in business!
However, Cui Shao believed that Ye Mingsheng's decision to allow the Jiangnan Provincial Government to become the major shareholder of the two banks and to give the Jiangnan Provincial Government supervisory power needed to be reconsidered. After all, as a major shareholder and with supervisory power, as long as the Jiangnan Provincial Government was willing, they could directly intervene in the operation of the banks.

The shopkeeper who is recruited through public recruitment will lose the operational and management rights of the ticket office and become a de facto puppet, or even the one to take the blame when something goes wrong!
In this way, Ye Mingsheng's idea of ​​handing over the operation and management of Wanfu and Tongxin banks to those shopkeepers became a decoration, or even a useless act like taking off pants to fart!

In the worst case scenario, Wanfu and Tongxin will repeat the mistakes of Dadongsheng, and Jiangnan's commerce will become an independent system.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng was also shocked. After thinking carefully, he realized that he seemed to have made this mistake.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng continued to read the memorial, wanting to see if Cui Shao had any solution to this situation. Unfortunately, what Ye Mingsheng saw was not the memorial written to him by Cui Shao, but the message sent by the inner guards, so there was no solution to this problem.

However, the Internal Security Bureau believed that Cui Shao would most likely submit a memorial to Ye Mingsheng in the near future regarding the management issues of the Wanfu and Tongxin banks.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng fell into deep thought, wondering how he would make up for this mistake if he were Cui Shao?
After pondering for a full cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng gradually came up with the answer in his mind!
In fact, solving this problem is both difficult and simple!
Since the management of the two banks can be sidelined by the Jiangnan Provincial Government and become his puppets, it would be better to simply not let the Jiangnan Provincial Government manage them!

Let the Ministry of Revenue become the major shareholder of Wanfu and Tongxin, and let the two banks be directly led by the Ministry of Revenue, and let the Jiangnan Provincial Government only have supervisory power.

In this way, although the Wanfu and Tongxin banks were nominally under the management of the Ministry of Revenue, in reality, the two banks were far away from the emperor, and the Ministry of Revenue itself had a lot of things to do, so it was difficult for the Ministry of Revenue to directly participate in the operation and management of the Wanfu and Tongxin banks!
In this way, the actual management and operation of the two banks will be the responsibility of their shopkeepers, and there is no need to worry about being sidelined and becoming puppets····················
Then, on the basis of Wanfu and Tongxin being handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for management, the Jiangnan Provincial Administration Commission was made responsible for the supervision of the two banks. They had no right to appoint or dismiss the managers of the two banks. If they found any problems, they could only write to the court, and the Ministry of Revenue would verify and handle them. In this way, this problem could be eliminated!

Although he had thought of a solution to the problem, a hint of hesitation flashed across Ye Mingsheng's eyes. At the same time, he also understood why Cui Shao did not write a memorial to him on this issue.
Cui Shao, this old fox, is too smart and knows his own style too well. He knows that he acted on his own will and against all odds in promoting Murong Yuliang to the position of Governor of Jianghuai. Therefore, he certainly hopes that Murong Yuliang can achieve some results in his tenure as Governor of Jianghuai and respond to the voices of doubt with tangible achievements like Zhao Wanxian did.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Murong Yuliang can achieve some results, he will definitely ensure that Murong Yuliang will not be disturbed by anyone. In fact, Ye Mingsheng did promise Murong Yuliang in the Plum Blossom Villa in Lin'an that day that he would be his strongest backing and would not let anyone trip him up or hold him back!
Cui Shao, the old fox, guessed this exactly, so he did not submit a memorial directly to him. After all, the Wanfu and Tongxin banks had been handed over to the Jiangnan Provincial Administration, and the Jiangnan Provincial Administration was now under the jurisdiction of Murong Yuliang, the Jianghuai Governor!

Therefore, if Cui Shao had suggested in his memorial to himself that the Wanfu and Tongxin banks should be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for management, it would be easily interpreted by others as Cui Shao plotting against Murong Yuliang, and some rumors would surely spread like wildfire. By then, even if it wasn't shit in the end, it would have become shit...
Therefore, with Cui Shao's style of doing things, he would not cause this bad luck. Ye Mingsheng even suspected that he knew that someone in the Yijing court was watching him for him, so he deliberately revealed his thoughts and then let himself know through the inner guards. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, but no matter what the facts, Ye Mingsheng had to admit that Cui Shao was very politically intelligent, and his vision was also very sharp and sharp. He could see many problems that he overlooked. It was a blessing for the Yijing court to have a person like Cui Shao!
And now the ball is at Ye Mingsheng's feet. Logically speaking, since he knows that he is wrong and knows the solution to the problem, there is nothing to say and he should solve this problem!

But the problem is that Ye Mingsheng had made a political promise to Murong Yuliang before, that he would fully support his work and would not let him be interfered with in any way!
And now, if the Wanfu and Tongxin banks were to be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue from Murong Yuliang, it would undoubtedly break Ye Mingsheng's promise to him!

If it was just as simple as breaking ZZ's promise, Ye Mingsheng wouldn't have hesitated so much. After all, if you are beaten, you have to stand at attention and admit your mistakes!

But ZZ is a very complicated thing, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Ye Mingsheng needs to consider the positive impact of breaking ZZ's promise. Since Murong Yuliang was promoted to the governor of Jianghuai, many people have been waiting and watching, waiting to see how much support they will give to Murong Yuliang!
Therefore, once he violates this ZZ promise, many people will make wrong judgments, and this will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to Murong Yuliang's work!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shook his head. He also felt that the matter was very tricky, but he still had to make up for the mistake he made. As the leader of the Yijing court, Ye Mingsheng still had this responsibility. He needed a good way to have the best of both worlds, and this would undoubtedly be a huge test of Ye Mingsheng's political wisdom...

The next day, the Jingchu Censorate
Ye Pengchao was working at his desk. Because Ye Mingsheng was preparing to return to Yijing to become emperor, his inspection of Jingchu was not as detailed as that of Huainan and Jiangnan, and the time was also very short. At present, Ye Mingsheng had decided to leave Hanyang in two days.

Although Ye Pengchao, as the Jingchu Censor, has no access to the security around Ye Mingsheng, he is still responsible for and in charge of the peripheral security work. In order to avoid any mistakes and omissions, Ye Pengchao needs to do a lot of work!
Just as Ye Pengchao was concentrating on checking whether there were any loopholes in his security plan, there was a knock on his door. Ye Pengchao, who was working, said without even turning his head:
"Enter!"

Following Ye Pengchao's order, Liu Lianjie, the deputy censor of the Jingchu Censorate, walked into the room. Seeing Ye Pengchao working, Liu Lianjie did not dare to disturb him for a moment, but just stood there quietly. After about a cup of tea, Ye Pengchao checked his security plan, then put it down, looked up at Liu Lianjie and asked:

"what happened?"

Liu Lianjie immediately whispered in Ye Pengchao's ear. Ye Pengchao's eyes narrowed immediately after hearing Liu Lianjie's words. At this time, Liu Lianjie also added:
“Sir, this matter spread so quickly, I think someone must have spread it on purpose…”

Ye Pengchao didn't say anything after listening to Liu Lianjie's words, but from his expression it was obvious that he agreed with Liu Lianjie's judgment and thought that this matter was deliberately spread by someone.

"Sir, do you think Dai Ping did this?"

Ye Pengchao pondered for a moment and asked:

"What's going on with Yang Qinghe?"

"Now that the Marshal is still in Hanyang, Yang Qinghe is naturally panicking, worried that the Marshal will punish him severely!"

Hearing what Liu Lianjie said, Ye Pengchao's eyes flickered. After half a cup of tea, he finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice:
"Go tell Yang Qinghe not to panic. This is a test from the Marshal. Tell him to immediately arrest those businessmen who are related to him, and prepare to donate the money he has taken over the years. This will not only save his life, but also allow him to move to a higher level!"

"what?"

Listening to Ye Pengchao's words, Liu Lianjie was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Ye Pengchao said.

Seeing this, Ye Pengchao continued to add:
"You must do whatever I arrange. Remember, this matter must be kept secret and not let anyone know!"

Although he still didn't quite understand Ye Pengchao's intention, looking at Ye Pengchao's unquestionable gaze, Liu Lianjie immediately nodded and said, "I'll do as you say and go find Yang Qinghe..."
