Therefore, when Okubo worked hard to remove an executive taking in charge of both Okura-sho and Minbu-sho (separation of Okura-sho and Minbu-sho), and Takato OKI, Tomozane YOSHII, and Masayoshi MATSUKATA were sent in to Minbu-sho, Kaiseigakari was transferred to Okura-sho, Shibusawa was removed from section head position, and other members were also dispatched to both Okura-sho and Minbu-sho to weaken the structure.
そのため、大久保の巻き返しによって大蔵・民部省幹部の兼任が解かれて（大蔵・民部両省の分離）民部省に大木喬任・吉井友実・松方正義らが送り込まれると、改正掛は大蔵省に移され、また渋沢は掛長を外されて他のメンバーも大蔵・民部両省内に分散させられるなどの弱体化が図られることになる。
