Rule 15 states that "When a proposal passes, the following effects occur in
order:
*<snip>
* The effects specified in the proposal occur in the order listed in the
proposal. "

It supercedes rule 897, therefore proposing to manipulate shillings is
legal.

As for rule 636, the act of voting does not modify the shillings, it
modifies the player's vote (andz possibly also the proposal - that's subject
to interpretation). The actual modification of my shillings is performed by
rule 15 when it implements the proposal, and thus rule 636 doesn't get in
the way.
