There are also rewards from Cai Jing, Su Guo, Zhang Santao and Sun Guodong in the holy decree.

Cai Jing because he saw through the Chen family on the spot to buy through the three small officials to exchange the price bag, for the imperial court to recover at least 30,000 yuan of losses, is the heaviest reward among the four, the previous through the shadow of the supplement from the nine grades of the official was promoted to one level, become the nine grades not to mention, but also won the rank from the eighth grade.

Su Guo did not have an official body before, and this time he directly got the official body from the ninth grade, but because he had to take the imperial examination, he was only a loose official.

And Zhang Santao and Sun Guodong, who had previously obtained from the nine grades of disbanding officials through their father's shadow supplement, also upgraded their respective official products by one level.

Cai Jing was very happy to be promoted to a first-level official so easily, and he also had a meritorious position, but when he thought of Zhang Bin's reward, he was extremely envious in his heart, and even a little jealous, but his face naturally did not show the slightest, and he was the first to step forward and arch his hand at Zhang Bin and said: "Ziyu, the reward of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court is far heavier than I imagined, thanks to Ziyu's efforts, I won't say thank you, if there is anything good in the future, Ziyu will be sent." ”

Su Guo and the other three also hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Being able to get this reward this time and being promoted by luck is all Ziyu's grace." ”

"The four brothers are polite, if it weren't for the help of the four brothers these days, especially when the chief saw that the three officials secretly changed the price bag, the little brother would have been able to successfully complete the bidding." Zhang Bin returned the salute, not at all arrogant because his official character was four or five levels higher than the four people, and he held the power of the pacification department.

Zhang Bin knew that the gratitude to him in the hearts of the four of them could not be faked.

Because, although the four of them still have to participate in the imperial examination next year, according to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, before obtaining the Jinshi, they have the scattered officials and honors obtained for their merits, and after obtaining the Jinshi meritorious name, they can be one level higher than ordinary officials when they approve their official qualities, but they are not counted.

Moreover, it is extremely rare for a jinshi to be an official because of merit before he has achieved fame, which is something that most jinshi can encounter but cannot seek.

"Hahahaha...... Ziyu, today we will be rewarded and promoted together, why don't you go to Fan Lou, the first main store in the world, to celebrate. Su Guo's heart was filled with a strong sense of accomplishment at this time, and this feeling of making contributions with his own ability and then being rewarded and promoted made him very fascinated.

"That's right, Ziyu, I'm going to get drunk today." Although Cai Jing is full of confidence in his future, this is the first credit in his life, and although he cannot be compared with Zhang Bin, his ability has stood out, surpassing Su Guo, Sun Guodong and Zhang Santao, he believes that after his performance at the bidding meeting that day, the high-ranking Prime Minister Han Qi, Deputy Minister Wang Anshi, and Prime Minister Wu Chong have already remembered themselves.

In addition, he secretly gave a heavy gift to Li Shunju, the only relative in the capital next to the Son of Heaven, because he wanted Li Shunju to mention his performance that day in front of the Son of Heaven.

Although Li Shunju has not replied yet, Zhang Bin fought for the four of them, his reward was heavier than others, and his will specifically mentioned his performance that day, which was enough.

After all, he is only a young man in his twenties, and it is the first time he has been promoted to an official position, Sun Guodong and Zhang Santao are also inexplicably excited, and they are clamoring to go to the world's first-class gold cave Fan Lou to feel it chicly.

Zhang Bin knew that this time was the golden period to deepen his friendship with the four people, so he naturally would not be disappointed, so he arranged for the snake slave to accompany Mingyue with four veteran guards to take over Mingyue Tower, so he took two veteran guards to Fanlou together.

…………

…………

Fan Lou ranks first among the 72 main stores in Tokyo, and is also known as the "Golden Cave", you can imagine how prosperous the business is, and the daily profit is so much that even the emperors of the past dynasties are hot.

Someone has calculated that Fanlou's annual profit is three times that of the nine main stores in second and tenth place, and one-tenth of the annual tax revenue of the imperial court, which can be called the largest enterprise in the Great Song Dynasty.

As early as when Zhenzong was the emperor, because of the war with the Liao State and the Western Thieves, when the money and food were not enough, he fought Fan Lou's idea, but in the end it failed.

So far, the background of Fan Lou or the people behind Fan Lou is a mystery to ordinary people.

Of course, Zhang Bin is not an ordinary person, and the snake slave around him is not an ordinary person, so he knows that Fan Lou relies on, and he knows that Fan Lou's business model is almost the prototype of a joint-stock enterprise in later generations.

That's right, the boss of Fan Lou is not a person, nor a family or a force, but is jointly controlled by the top nine family lords of the Great Song Dynasty and shares dividends together.

One of them is the Xiangzhou Han clan where Han Qi is located, and although the other eight family lords are not currently in charge of the position of prime minister, their power or influence in some aspects in the Great Song Dynasty is not weaker than that of the Xiangzhou Han clan.

Zhang Bin remembers that during the period of anti-corruption and clean government in later generations, some high-consumption places closed down one after another, and even many casinos in the world casino, known as Magang, in the south, were seriously affected, and nearly half of them closed down.

Therefore, it can be seen from such a huge profit of Fan Lou that the corruption of the Great Song Dynasty and the degeneration of officials and magnates have reached an extremely serious level.

Of course, if you just know it simply, it can only be said that there are still a lot of rich people in the Great Song Dynasty, but nine out of ten of the people who come to Fanlou to consume are officials and magnates, so the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty are mainly officials and magnates.

However, the court of the Great Song Dynasty became poorer and poorer, and the emperor and the harem were not as good as a year.

This phenomenon is of course very abnormal, and throughout Chinese history, it will occur in the decades before the collapse of all dynasties - the wealth of the world is tightly held in the hands of the powerful and officials, not by the Son of Heaven, the court and the state, let alone owned by the people.

The wealth here is not only money and grain, but also refers to farmland and resources necessary for life, take farmland as an example, when the founding of the country was the most owned by ordinary people, it was also the time when the distribution of land was the most common and fair.

However, more than 100 years after the founding of the country, the descendants of many of the common people who owned the land at the beginning became tenants and subordinates of the landlords and nobles, and their fields naturally became the landlords and nobles, and their descendants became proletarians.

The class of large landlords and aristocrats is often the main source of officials, because ordinary people cannot afford to read books, let alone practice martial arts.

However, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not have to pay taxes, so the taxes of the imperial court were naturally less and less.

The Son of Heaven and the prime ministers who were in charge of the imperial court could not let the imperial court and the army have no money and food available, and were forced to have no choice but to increase taxes, which naturally did not fall on the nobles and officials, and eventually fell on the poor people.

In this way, the imperial court still did not have enough money and food, so it could only continue to increase taxes.
