The person who came was Lu Ge, who was the former governor of Wuzhou. Ren Man came to Beijing to report his duties and became the first judge of Changping of Jingxi Road. Originally, when the Beijing official arrived, he should have left Beijing by post road. Get off from Tangzhou, passes through Huyang County to Zaoyang, and meets Du Zhongxiao, who is still engaged in field affairs. The railway passed through Tangzhou, walked in separate routes from the original post road, bypassed Daze, and just walked on the other side of Huyang, passing through Xinye. The railway had been in operation for several years, and the court finally changed its original route.

Lu Ge became famous at a young age. When he was a teenager, he was appreciated by the prefect Ma Liang and participated in the test. Ma Liang specifically instructed the magistrate to let Lu Ge pass the test. When Lu Ge heard about this, he was ashamed of getting a private recommendation and did not participate. The next Jinshi passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen.

This person is very strange. He was a young Jinshi. He was not slow to get promoted and had good political achievements, but he never got the opportunity to be promoted beyond the level, nor did he become a Beijing official, and he has always been a magistrate in the local area. He is now in his forties and has been an official for nearly 30 years, and he still has a magistrate. If most officials are not appreciated by important officials in the court, they will be like this for about their lifetime.

A few years ago, when he was in Gongzhou, Guangnan West Road, Lu Ge encountered a barbaric chaos, and the whole road was shocked. He once reminded the appeasement envoy Du Qi that Guangxi had few land and poor people, and several states were not as good as a large county in the Central Plains. He should have repaired the city early, dispatched troops and guarded against barbarians to rebellion. He did not receive attention at the time. This year, the incident of Nong Zhigao showed his foresight at the time, and was valued as a judge of Changping.

Du Zhongxiao and others welcomed Lu Ge in, took a seat and asked about the hard work on the road. Du Zhongxiao said, "You are here just in time. Since the establishment of Changping Office, you have been working with the Yingtian Affairs Office in the past few years. In the past two years, Changping Office has developed, and is no longer as before. It is discussing the establishment of its own official party. But where to place it, whether it is Xiangzhou, Tangzhou, or Dengzhou, it has never been decided. The first thing you do is to set the official party down."

Lu Ge bowed: "According to the West Jing Road, the Shouzhou should be Henan Prefecture, and the largest city should be Luoyang City. As the supervisor, Changping is in charge of money, grain industry and commerce, and the responsibilities are different from other supervisors. Why not set it up on the North Road?"

Du Zhongxiao knew that he was talking about Luoyang and said to him: "Luoyang is Xijing. In addition to the transshipment commander, other supervisors also have official yamen. Moreover, there is a branch of Xijing there, although there are no directors and many senior officials. The management of money, grain, industry and commerce are more susceptible to the words of these people, so it is better to stay away from it. Besides, the affairs of Changping are now in the north, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture. It is also considered to have a yamen."

The Tongzong is different from the prefectural state. He is a real imperial court sent officials, and he supervises both money and grain. His responsibilities are in opposition to the supervisory department. Several supervisory departments appointed local officials to do things, and the first choice was the chief judge, followed by the guard officials. The Changping Office was first established, and there were insufficient officials. The affairs of the northern roads and states were all managed by the Tongzong of Henan Prefecture. Du Zhongxiao completely delegated power, and to the north of the Iron Supervision Bureau, he did not interfere in any daily affairs except for the regulations and documents of the company and the general affairs.

As the location of Xijing, Henan Prefecture is different from other places. It has always been a two-member magistrate, one governs the left-behind officials and the other governs the Henan Prefecture affairs. Both members have high qualifications and must be a prefect, and one term is equivalent to the prefect and the other term. Moreover, the prefecture magistrate who governs the Henan Prefecture affairs has a division of labor with the signature judge, and does not manage the affairs of the city, but only manages the subordinate counties. At this time, the prefecture magistrate was Sun Changqing, who was in charge of the affairs of the North Road of Changping.

After hearing this, Lu Ge said, "If it is not located in Henan Prefecture, there is only one place to be established, which is Xiangzhou. Although Dengzhou is also a big province, the train passes through Xinye, its jurisdiction, and does not pass through the city, which is somewhat inappropriate. Although Xiangzhou is south, it is rich in the area and has trains. It is the east road of Shannan in the previous dynasty, which is not comparable to other places. However, there is actually another place, which is the Iron Supervision."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, except for Xiangzhou and Luoyang, the most suitable place now is the railway prison. It is different from other prisoners. It has a large population and is rich. It is also a convergence of several railways, so I can't stop it."

When the Railway Supervision was established, we chose remote mountainous areas, but with coal and iron, there were rapid development. There were several railways that intersected there with convenient transportation, and instead became one of the most prosperous places on West Jing Road. If you really want to be serious, the economic hinterland there is too small, and future development will inevitably be restricted, which is not conducive to being the home of the yamen that manages the road. But now the yamen is already simple, so what's wrong with choosing there?

After discussing for a while, Du Zhongxiao said to Zhang Fengzhi and Lu Ge: "Let's do this. Now that the Nan Zhigao in the south is in chaos, the court will definitely send troops in the autumn. Our Yingtianxiang Army is the closest to there, and we should share the worries of the court. In this month, all the soldiers of each army have recruited, so I will take them to the Iron Supervisor to carry out training. The matters of the camp and field affairs will be handed over to the Chief Zhang. The affairs of Changpingsi will be in charge of the Changpingsi will be handed over to Judge Lu. Judge Lu can set up the Changpingsi office in Xiangzhou. In the future, whether to be a judge or a referee, let's discuss it."

Lu Ge bowed: "The officials who have just arrived and are not familiar with all matters, how can they dare to take on this burden? This time, the emperor and the prime minister repeatedly reminded Changping to manage the money, grain, industry and commerce along the way, and they have to handle countless money in a year, so they must do it well. The money and grain on the West Road of Jingxi is particularly important to the court. Once there is a loss here, many things in the world will not be handled."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's okay, just study while doing it. Changping's affairs have regulations and appropriate officials, and it will be done soon. In the past few months, I have been training the wing army. Isn't Changping's good yet? There are trains from Fancheng to the Railway Supervision and emergency affairs, which can be reached in one day. Every other month, you can see me at the Railway Supervision and discuss things."

Lu Ge had no choice but to bow and said, "In this way, the officials would have to force this to do so first. When something happens in the future, when I go to the Iron Supervisor to report the ceremony, don't think I'm too long-winded. When I really left the capital, the emperor and the prime minister repeatedly reminded me."

At this time, Pang Ji was the only prime minister and had great authority. No one dared not take his words seriously, and Du Zhongxiao did not dare to do so. The railway supervision was convenient, and whether it was Xiangzhou in the south or Luoyang in the north, there were railways connected to one day, so it could not be delayed there. It was precisely this that Du Zhongxiao decided to take the wing army there to train and coordinate the affairs of the north and south.

It was not revealed before, after Changping Office set up a savings bank and money entrusting service, the deposits inside directly showed the development achievements of Jingxi Road. The imperial court originally transported physical goods from Jingxi Road, but now the amount of money is more important. Now, money entrusted, but it has capital, which is linked to cash, and the savings bank's tens of millions of entrusted traffic is particularly eye-catching. However, the imperial court has not yet thought of using deposits, so it can only be seen.

A few years ago, when Wang Yaochen was the envoy of the Three Divisions, he once counted money and grain. Now the court's annual income is about 100 million guan, and the expenditure is about this. The basic income and expenditure are balanced. The major projects in the world are mainly the construction of railways, all of which are borne by Jingxi Road. If these are converted into cash, the weight of Jingxi Road will be even heavier. Among them, the income of the Yingtian Affairs Office and Changping Office has long exceeded the tax of the Transportation Office. Du Zhongxiao, who is in charge of the two items, has a rising status and is no longer the official who has insufficient qualifications and can only take power in the past few years.

Starting last year, the court imitated the Jingxi Road system and promoted the Changping Municipality, first in Jingdong and Huainan Road. These two places were not on the front line, the local economy was relatively developed, and it was north of the Yellow River, which had similarities with Jingxi Road. Jingdong Road imitated the Jingxi Baitingjian and rebuilt the Laiwu Bureau, but it had not developed due to insufficient talents and technology. Huainan Road was envious and asked Jingdong Road to divide Xuzhou into them from this year. All parties involved the imperial court had not agreed. In addition, shopping malls under the Changping Municipality of both roads were opened, and all systems were learned from Jingxi Road and quickly saw benefits. Recently, it was planned that Changping Municipality was also established in Kaifeng Prefecture, and Jingxi Road was connected to bribe and sell.
