Xu Changqing has abilities. Although his shortcomings are also obvious, Li Chen is still assured to give him the work of the money shop. If it weren't for real trouble, Xu Changqing wouldn't have come to the East Palace to complain.

No leader likes to always throw problems to subordinates who are superiors to deal with them.

Xu Changqing is well aware of this.

Therefore, Li Chen attached great importance to Xu Changqing's words.

He put down the memorial in his hand and said, "What trouble?"

Xu Changqing said furiously: "Now two money shops in Beijing are about to open, and the laying in the Gyeonggi area is still smooth, but once it leaves the Gyeonggi area, it has encountered many difficulties in setting up money shops in other provinces."

"Originally, according to the official documents issued by the Ministry of Revenue, local government offices required the local government office to provide store locations for money shops, and the funds for the operation of government offices must also be included in the money shops. However, now many government offices either say that there is no spare store available, or the government office has no money shops.

There are many reasons, which is to prevent the opening of the money house."

Xu Changqing became more and more angry and said, "Originally, the people were still interested in the money shop opened by the imperial court, but after they made such a fuss, the people were also confused and did not dare to deposit money in, for fear that the money shop would be cancelled in the future.

They will lose all their money."

Li Chen frowned and knew Xu Changqing's difficulties.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, the relationship between high-level functional departments and subordinate places is very delicate.

Although both parties are subordinate in terms of nominal and legal terms, one is just a department, and the other is a local government.

Local governments may not necessarily feel at ease with the orders of the Ministry of Revenue.

If someone interferes with it, it will be even harder to say.

Since ancient times, there are fewer things to do with policies from above and countermeasures from below?

It is just ordinary to be lip service.

Li Chen said with a blank expression: "It seems that the cabinet has a much higher control over the local area than the court."

Zhao Xuanji has been in charge of the cabinet for more than ten years, and the cabinet has been in charge of the government for so many years.

To put it no exaggeration, most of the local officials in the Great Qin Empire today have close ties with several major officials in the cabinet.

They relied on the high mountains and the emperor's distance, not to mention the Ministry of Revenue, even Li Chen's words, and the cabinet would be fine.

If Zhao Xuanji spoke to them and told them not to pay attention to the Ministry of Revenue, what would they choose? It would be obvious.

"Your Highness, if this continues, this money house will go bankrupt before it comes out." Xu Changqing said with deep grudges.

Li Chen also didn't know this truth.

If it were in the past, he could still exchange political interests with Zhao Xuanji in exchange for his compromise.

But now that everyone has done it, it is natural that there is no room for relief.

But if you have to wait for Zhao Xuanji.

"What did Liu Sichun say?" Li Chen asked.

Xu Changqing smiled bitterly and said, "What else can the Liu family do if those local governments ignore the official documents of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"If the money house invests in buying a store, how much money will it cost?"

Li Chen's question made Xu Changqing stunned for a moment.

After a while, he said carefully: "It will cost about one or two million taels of silver... If the store is reduced, each store can save about thousands of taels..."

"The store can only be more than less. Money shops opened in the name of the court show strength, and the people will also increase their confidence. Once the price decreases, what do the people think?"
