1906年(光绪三十二年)7月， 清政府处户部又奏请朝廷， 拟将当时全国24处铜元局， 酌量归并为九处， 如折中所述：“然中国幅员辽阔， 若如全国仅设一厂，转运恐形不便，惟有相度地势之拼。除臣部所设总厂外，拟以山东归并直隶为一厂，湖南归并湖北为一厂，江西、安徽、江苏、清江并归江宁一厂，浙江归并福建为一厂， 广西归并广东为一厂。

In July 1906 (the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign), the household Department of the Qing government invited the court to merge the 24 copper yuan bureaus in the whole country into nine, as the compromise said: "however, China's vast territory, if there is only one factory in the whole country, the transportation is not convenient, but the terrain is different. In addition to the general factory set up by the minister department, it is planned to take Shandong as the first factory, Hunan as the first factory, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Qingjiang as the first factory, Zhejiang as the first factory, and Guangxi as the first factory.

合奉天、河南、 四川、云南四厂，共九处， 皆归臣部统辖，调剂盈虚， 彼此均可匀拨。”在归并铜元局得以顺利实施的同时，又限定各省每日铸造铜元数额，以避免重蹈滥造的覆辙。此后，清政府将户部改称“度支部”，命各省造币厂改称度支部造币分厂，欲统而治之，巩固中央造币集权。

There are nine factories in Fengtian, Henan, Sichuan and Yunnan, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry. They can adjust the surplus and deficiency, and they can be evenly allocated to each other. " At the same time, the amount of copper coins cast per day in each province was limited, so as to avoid the same mistakes. Since then, the Qing government changed the name of the household branch to "Du branch", and ordered the mints of all provinces to change their name to "Du branch", in order to unify and govern them and consolidate the centralized minting power of the central government.
