The central bank's service area is blooming everywhere on the pipeline of Jinghu North Road, promoting the economy of Jinghu North Road and also causing the central bank's assets to expand sharply.

To some extent, the central bank's service areas are no different from the real estate in later generations.

The central bank will open a central bank service area at important nodes and enclose a piece of land.

Because of the concentration of commercial wealth, a large number of employed people will be concentrated in a small area, forming a special economic model in this small area.

In the service area, land prices have risen sharply and prices are also rising. The central bank owns land, whether it is opening a store or renting it, it will bring the original investment back dozens of times.

Of course, this investment return is not only directly rewarded in cash, but also added to fixed assets.

This allowed the central bank's assets to settle in the form of fixed assets, and the banking and supervision guards also concealed them in this way.

Each service area will maintain more than ten banking supervision and security personnel as permanent security personnel to protect the service area from gangsters and to ensure order in the service area.

The permanent bank supervision guards have horses and combat equipment, and there is no difference between them and the bank supervision guards who suppress bandits.

The Banking Regulatory Commission needs to change defenses. After serving in the service area for half a year, they will return to the banking Regulatory Commission’s Regulatory Commission’s Regulatory Commission to continue to participate in the bandit suppression work.

The entire Jinghu North Road radiates to the official roads of each prefecture with Jiangling Prefecture as the core, from the prefecture to the county's official roads, and selectively open service areas.

The service area is divided into three levels, with a small service area for every twenty miles, and a large service area for sixty miles, and there will be the highest-level service area in the prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

There are ten permanent staff in the small service area, and twenty intermediate service area in the intermediate service area, and the largest service area is in the banking supervision and guards with more than fifty permanent staff.

In Ouyang Bian's plan, there will be about four or five hundred service areas of all Jinghu North Road. It is not entirely expected that there will be more than 13,000 banking and police officers by then.

Of course, the people who serve in the service area reflected in the roster are not the Banking Regulatory Commission, but the local security personnel. The banking Regulatory Commission only has 5,000 people involved in the suppression of bandits.

This is actually not a taboo. The central bank is a central enterprise, and the senior employees in it are all from Jinshi or even Jinshi. There is no doubt about their loyalty to the court.

The reason why the central bank can maintain such great independence is actually because of its trust in these scholars, not to mention that many of them are relatives of court officials who have been divorced, or even their own nephews.

Although the central bank is under Ouyang Bian's control, its power is actually dispersed and controlled by many people. Whether it is financial power or banking supervision and security, it is actually not completely controlled by Ouyang Bian.

The central bank has formed a new interest group, but the controllers in this group and the controllers of the imperial court are just one side, so the imperial court is not worried that the central bank will lose control.

Therefore, Ouyang Bian can boldly hide the banking supervision guards in various service areas, without letting Wang Shao and Zhongyi, who know the inside story, think Ouyang Bian has a different intention.

In fact, these were arranged by them.

Ouyang Bian has not mentioned it to many people, but Wang Shao and Zhongyi know that in Ouyang Bian's plan, the central bank has 18 miles, and by then, there may be more than 10,000 service areas. This number may be more or less, depending on the specific situation.

This is nearly 10,000 service areas, and the banking supervision guards of about 100,000 or 200,000 will be hidden by then. This is a force that can subvert the dynasty!

When they remembered the huge destructive power that this power burst out, Zhong Yi and Wang Shao couldn't help but tremble all over.

And this force is largely under the leadership of the General Staff Office with them as the core and the Operations Department.

There are now eight people in the Staff Office, including Wang Shao, Di Hu, Zhe Ju, Zong E and others as the core.

The combat office is centered on Zhong Yi, and the middle and lower levels become Di family generals, the Zhe family generals and the Zhong family generals. The other middle and lower levels are promoted after accumulating military achievements, and these people now account for 80% of the middle and lower levels.

The power structures in the banking supervision and security guards check and balance each other, and there will be no situation where someone controls the entire banking supervision and security guards, and these people will not betray the court.

Therefore, Wang Shaozhongyi did not think that Ouyang Bian would have any disagreement.

However, when Wang Shao, Zhong Yi and others fantasized that the Banking Regulatory Guard became the largest military force in the Song Dynasty, and they could rely on it to defeat the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom, Ouyang Bian was settled.

Maintaining such a huge amount of power is also extremely huge.

According to the standards of the Banking Regulatory Commission, since cavalry is the main one, the fixed annual expenditure per cavalry is 25 stagnant.

The more than 10,000 people in the plan for Jinghu North Road alone are nearly 3 million taxes of expenditure. If the people from the Sansi see this expenditure, they will feel suffocated.

But it is acceptable for the central bank.

The central bank's service areas are similar to the military-raising stations.

Small service areas support ten riders, and even larger ones support twenty riders, while large service center areas such as prefectures and counties support fifty to one hundred riders.

After dispersing like this, the pressure is not that great.

Of course, this is in the context of economic activity in the region.

If it was the previous economic situation, they would not be able to support them if they were killed. If they had to support them, they would have to exploit the people like the current court, and use them to support soldiers and officials.

Ouyang Bian conducted an investigation on the entire Jinghu North Road. According to his analysis, the emergence of the service area opened up the Ren and Du meridians of Jinghu North Road.

The private capital, economic potential, agriculture and industry on Jinghu North Road will be revitalized.

There will inevitably be a new wave of explosions in the future, and it will be a comprehensive explosion, whether it is agriculture, industry, or service industries, they will burst into vitality.

The service area that is born with the economy will only become more and more prosperous and will not shrink at all.

After investigation, Ouyang Bian believed that it was very necessary to deeply cultivate Jinghu North Road. The economic potential here is very high and the level of development is not high, so it is worth investing.

So after he basically completed the construction of the service area, he planned to start large-scale construction of the road.

Ouyang Bian's planning has always been a step-by-step guide.

The first phase he planned was to pave the official roads from Jiangling Prefecture to various states.

Although the project volume of this phase is not small, it is actually not as huge as imagined.

Because the official road itself is repaired year-round, especially the passages of Jiangling Prefecture as the core road.

The reason why it was laid on a large scale was because Ouyang Bian believed that the current official road did not meet the standards.

The so-called official road is just a dirt road. Every time it rains, no caravan dares to go on the road.

Because once it rains, the whole road is muddy and it is difficult for people to walk, let alone cars and horses.

Jinghu North Road was originally south, but in summer, it is difficult to pass at least half of the time, which seriously hinders the development of commerce.

From rebirth to the present, Ouyang Bian rarely made substantial inventions, mainly focusing on conceptual creation.

From real estate to finance, they all focus on accumulating wealth, but they rarely make efforts in industry because the capital required in industry is too high.

Now that he has reached this level, he finally plans to make efforts in this regard.

Now that he wants to build roads, and to build high-standard roads, he has to use substantial inventions.

He wants to invent cement.

The roads built with yellow mud are difficult to avoid mud no matter how high the specifications are, or even if they are cooked soil.

The way of paving the road with stone slabs is so expensive that even if he has the support of the central bank, it is difficult to support it, and the road he built may not be as good as it is.

Cement is different. Cement is not technically difficult, the key is that it is cheap, and the efficiency is very high whether it is firing or pouring.

Ouyang Bian began to mobilize elite soldiers and generals.

The first thing is to gather Jiang Rucheng's team to Jiangling Prefecture.

The project team of Xihucheng Company under the supervision of Jiang Rucheng has been idle for half a year. After the construction of the second phase of Xihucheng, this huge engineering team of this large engineering company that is equivalent to that of a later generation has fallen into a state of shutdown.

Jiang Rucheng suggested that the company dissolve the engineering team, but Ouyang Bian did not agree.

It would be a pity if the engineering team trained by such a large project in West Lake City was disbanded like this. Sure enough, it was used at this time.

Jiang Rucheng brought his huge design team to Jiangling City and immediately devoted himself to the design work.

At first, they thought that building roads was actually simpler than building houses, but the opinions given by Ouyang Bian made them feel a little difficult.

Ouyang Bian believes that the construction of the official road is not reasonable at present, because the materials are not up to standard and the cost savings are considered, the construction of the official road is mainly simple.

Therefore, try to avoid building bridges and opening mountains. Such road conditions are very complicated and cannot be kept straight. They also become narrow in some places and are extremely difficult to pass.

Ouyang Bian’s requirement is to try to be straight and maintain the width, so that you have to use the method of opening mountains to meet mountains and building bridges to meet water.

In this way, Jiang Rucheng's design team is not enough.

After all, building bridges is a very professional thing.

But it doesn't matter. Jiang Rucheng has a wide range of people and quickly invited extremely famous bridge experts to assist in design.

The plan is underway, while Ouyang Bian is making other preparations, the most important of which is to build a cement factory.

The cement process is actually very simple, it is nothing more than grinding limestone and clay into surfaces and then calcining into clay materials.

Grind clinker and the remaining slag after iron smelting together, and it is cement.

It is just to control the ratio of the materials, which requires craftsmen to conduct experiments.

Professional matters are left to professionals, and Ouyang Bian believes that the most professional at this time should be the master who burns ceramics.

He asked someone to invite some masters, gave them tasks and set rewards, so he didn't care much.

Cement is still very simple after all, and he believes in the skills of the masters.

He mainly conducts project establishment.

He wanted to rebuild the official road, which was built on the official road. This process would definitely affect the use of the official road, which involved the local government.

The central bank and the government are two parallel lines, and are not directly affiliated, just like the divisions of later generations.

If the central bank wants to put its hands into the construction of the official road, it must communicate with the government.

It is one thing to obtain the consent of the government, and Ouyang Bian does not want the government to be out of the matter.

It can be easier for all the things on the ground if the government comes forward.

The first stop for Ouyang Bian was Jiangling Mansion.
