The next afternoon, after Chu Fan had a good rest, he not only called the Minister of Works Tang Hongwen to the Imperial Study, but also summoned the six ministers and Chu Anping and Chu Zhenglin from the Royal Government Affairs Office to the Imperial Study.

Chu Fan sighed as he looked at Chu Anping, who looked much older due to handling government affairs. You know, although Chu Anping is over sixty years old, he is now a first-rank warrior. Logically, he should be very energetic. However, when Chu Anping came to the imperial study, Chu Fan could clearly see the fatigue on Chu Anping's face.

This is despite the fact that the Royal Government Affairs Office is a place where a prince handles the affairs of a country. If I hadn't opened this office, all the court affairs would have been handed over to me. By then, I might not be able to handle it in less than a month.

Chu Fan now fully understood why his grandfather and father had used various methods to abstain from the throne immediately after stabilizing the situation in Wei. For a responsible emperor, governing such a large country was a laborious task, and the slightest mistake could put many people in trouble.

Because they have a great sense of responsibility towards the State of Wei and its people, if the people fall into trouble due to their own mistakes, such a ruler will feel very guilty.

Chu Fan sighed in his heart: Fortunately, I don’t have such a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise I might not be able to sit in this position.

Despite his lack of responsibility, Chu Fan believed he had done his utmost for the people of Wei. Not only had he promoted the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn, but his coal washing technology had also freed the people of Wei from fear of winter. His refined salt technology had not only enabled the people of Wei to use fine salt, but had also earned a considerable amount of money for the court and its civil and military officials.

The successful development of penicillin saved countless lives, the successful production of cement made flood control dams more solid, and saved countless people's homes. And the invention of the steam locomotive made travel much more convenient for the people of Wei. These were all practical things Chu Fan did for the people of Wei.

You know, I was going to return to Blue Star to live, so I let the royal princes in the Royal Affairs Office manage the country on their own, and I only needed to provide guidance at critical moments. Being able to do so much for the State of Wei can be considered a "wise ruler" who serves the country and the people.

When everyone arrived, Chu Fan was the first to speak. "I called you here today because I haven't paid attention to the situation in Wei for a while, so I have some questions I want to ask about the current progress of the Royal Government Affairs Office and the court."

Chu Fan's words made everyone in the Imperial Study serious, because they wondered if His Majesty had heard some rumors, or was dissatisfied with their recent work, so he called them to the Imperial Study for questioning. You know, His Majesty rarely takes the initiative to pay attention to a specific matter, so why would he suddenly raise such a question today?

No one spoke at this time. After all, the ministers present were basically responsible for many affairs, and they didn't know how to start. After all, they didn't know what the emperor wanted to know.

Chu Fan was aware of their concerns, so he took the lead in asking Chu Anping, "Sixth Master, how is the progress of the plan I originally asked the Royal Government Affairs Office to work with the six ministers of the court to establish a specific plan for the fund, the implementation agency, and the arrangement of responsible personnel?"

Although Chu Fan had somewhat forgotten about setting up the fund, Chu Anping had always remembered it. After all, it was an important matter Chu Fan had personally assigned, and the Royal Government Affairs Office and the six ministers of the court had been pushing for it.

Since such an organization had never existed on the Shengwu Continent, neither the princes of the Royal Affairs Office nor the ministers of the six ministries had any experience. Months passed, and only a general framework for the foundation was in place. Neither the Royal Affairs Office nor the six ministries had a specific plan for how to implement it.

Because Chu Fan had called them into the palace at short notice, the Royal Government Affairs Office and the six ministers had not carefully prepared their memorials. Fortunately, many people in this world were warriors, and their memories were quite good. Chu Anping quickly sorted out the progress of his work during this period in his mind and began to report to Chu Fan:

"Your Majesty, the person in charge and the executive body of the foundation have been preliminarily determined. Since the foundation will involve the management and distribution of a lot of money after its establishment, we have decided after discussion to appoint three persons in charge.

The first person in charge is the prince of the Royal Government Affairs Office. This prince is responsible for supervising the foundation and serving as a communication bridge between the foundation and the Royal Government Affairs Office. In this way, if His Majesty has any instructions, they can be conveyed directly to the foundation by this prince.

The second person in charge is a minister selected from one of the six ministries of the imperial court. This minister is responsible for managing the foundation's staff and daily operations, ensuring that all matters are carried out efficiently.

The third person in charge is a general manager of the Royal Bank. He is responsible for the foundation's financial management and fund allocation, ensuring the safety and proper use of funds, and ensuring that the accounts are clear and understandable when it comes to distributing dividends to the people in the future.

However, we have not yet agreed on the specific implementation method, and I hope Your Majesty can give clear instructions."

After listening to Chu Anping's report, Chu Fan felt speechless. If you really don't know the specific implementation details, why didn't you ask me earlier?

After hearing this, Chu Anping's mouth twitched. It was Your Majesty who did not allow court ministers to enter the palace at will. Most of the matters were handed over to the Royal Government Affairs Office for handling, and the matters concerning the foundation were arranged by Your Majesty personally to Chu Anping. How could he have the face to disturb Your Majesty because of this matter?

Chu Fan said, "Regarding the foundation, I'll give you a general direction. Otherwise, at your current pace, if you want to fully build the foundation and open a war fund, it may take several months before you can fully operate the foundation."

Chu Anping immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please make it clear that we will complete the construction of the foundation as soon as possible."

At this time, Chu Zhenglin and the six ministers began to listen carefully to Chu Fan's instructions. After all, this department was a joint effort of many parties, so they also needed to clearly understand His Majesty's thoughts and expectations. Only in this way could they better manage and operate the foundation.
