Bao Qing returned to the mansion, and everyone was already waiting in the quiet hall.

"What? Are you all right? Wait for me? Seeing this, Bao Qing asked.

"Brother Bao, you should be promoted this time!" Bao Liuwen said with a smile.

"What else are you talking about promotion? Nowadays, it is very simple to be promoted in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as you dare to carry the coffin to the battlefield, after a few battles, you will definitely be promoted! Bao Qing responded.

"What? This official family still treats Big Brother Bao like this? saved his life, and didn't even give a small reward? Cao Yun obviously lost the sense of loyalty and patriotism that an ancient person should have, and his tone was full of disdain for Renzong.

"That's it! Now that Brother Bao is back safely, it doesn't matter if he is promoted or not. Let's let him accompany Yuxian more! Dong Yanran said.

Bao Qing nodded knowingly, he really should go to see Yuxian, after all, there is still a child in his belly.

"Why accompany her? We also want to accompany! Sister Yanran and I helped Brother Bao make so much money, and I finally came back this time, why don't you accompany us? ”

When Bao Qing heard this, he smiled and said, "Xiaowen, tell me how much money you earned?" ”

"Well, it's almost 1.5 million!" Bao Liuwen said with a pout.

"What?" Bao Qing was surprised, there were so many!

"And that's not counting all the expenses! Brother Bao, we are working so hard! You'll need to hire some long-going servants to come back. We need people to serve us too! Bao Liuwen said coquettishly, "Also, you serve me and Sister Yanran tonight!" ”

Qin Yuxian on the side said with a smile: "Brother Bao, Xiaowen is a rich man now, and we will all have to rely on her in the future!" You should go and accompany Sister Yanran and her tonight! I'm sleeping with my sister tonight! ”

Bao Qing knew that she was talking about the glacier fairy Qin Yubing. Thinking of this, Bao Qing looked at Qin Yubing, who was close to the door of the hall, and saw that Qin Yubing really looked up at himself, far away, hiding behind everyone, as if chuckling.

That night, Bao Qing slept in Dong Yanran's room, and he always felt that he seemed to owe something to this woman.

"Brother Bao! You say, should we expand our teahouse? Dong Yanran asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth and satisfaction.

Bao Qing shook his head and said, "Don't expand!" ”

Dong Yanran obviously didn't expect Bao Qing to answer like this, in her opinion, she was just telling Bao Qing what she said. Bao Chalou has always been taken care of by her and Bao Liuwen, and the two have basically discussed, ready to recruit guys in another month to expand their business, and the branch in Luzhou has opened very well.

This matter has actually been decided a long time ago, Dong Yanran was afraid that Bao Qing would not understand, so she hurriedly explained: "Our Bao Tea House has a very good business, and officials of all sizes in the capital are rushing to drink our tea, and even the Liao people have asked people to find connections to patronize us. ”

Bao Qing still shook his head and explained: "Now is not the time, our foundation is shallow, what I am worried about is that the plate is too big, and we will find people to be jealous and coveted." However, you can increase the price appropriately. By the way, do you know the country? ”

"Say?"

"It's Dongying!"

Dong Yanran nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Silver is cheap in this country, you look at trying to buy their silver. The money we earn, except for a certain percentage of our own use, is exchanged for silver! Bao Qing said.

"However, Brother Bao, silver is not as good as copper coins in the market! Also, the price of silver fluctuates, and I'm afraid! ”

Bao Qing hugged Dong Yanran into his arms and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you lose, money is something outside your body!" You just need to remember that all copper coins are only exchanged with the people of Dongying, as long as the price is pressed to death, or you can see if you can buy silver mining rights in Dongying for a few years. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the silver was not valuable, and there was a lot of silver, and the Dongying people didn't care at all. This Bao Qing knows. Moreover, Bao Qing couldn't be a big mine owner in his previous life, but when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, after having a lot of copper coins, he couldn't help but feel active.

As the saying goes, how much capital you have determines how big a business you get. The current Bao Qing is not a rich man, so if you want to play, you have to play big. Moreover, reselling silver, which was not common in the era when the Great Song Dynasty was now mainly settled by copper coins. Copper coins are hard currency, but silver is not, so there is a lot of risk. But the biggest advantage of this business is that it is not easy to be noticed and will not be hated.

The next day, about noon, the decree came.

This time the decree was very long, and the herald said it for a long time, and Bao Qing's legs were sore.

When it was finally over, Bao Qing Xie En stood up and presented hundreds of pieces to the herald. The herald saw that Bao Qing was generous, and he would be rewarded with a hundred yuan, so he hurriedly thanked him with a smile and congratulated Bao Qing vigorously.

Zhan Zhao was rewarded as a four-grade imperial guard with a knife, for this, although everyone in the Bao Mansion was envious, Bao Qing was very clear. The four-rank imperial guard with a sword in front of the emperor belongs to this exhibition.

Jin Wandao, who was rewarded as a five-grade imperial guard with a sword. and Cao Yun was also rewarded, but Bao Qing didn't know what it was called, what it meant, anyway, Cao Yun was quite happy.

"Brother Bao, what's going on! You don't seem to have been promoted! Bao Liuwen patted the dust on her skirt and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh? Dali Temple, Zhitian County! Why, isn't the official position high? Bao Qing asked puzzled.

"Both of them are seven-rank officials, almost the same as pushing officials! Knowing Tianchang County is to let you be the county magistrate of Tianchang County and be in charge of Tianchang County. Bao Liuwen said.

When Bao Qing heard this, he almost fainted. What's going on, I've only been in the seventh grade for a long time, and I'm going to go to Tianchang County to do the county order? Why did this official go back more and more?

Bao Qing wants to scold people, dare to love Renzong's sentence, now there are not many people I can trust, Bao Qing, you are one of them! This is to fool yourself! I was excited all night in vain, and I thought I was hugging **.

Bao Qing was so depressed that it was in the evening, but he saw Cao Xi running over happily.

"Virtuous son-in-law! Bao Qing, the old man really didn't expect it! Unexpected! Cao Xi said incoherently.

Bao Qing glanced at him, looking unhappy.

"The official family has named me the prince of the country! Haha, I really didn't expect that I, Cao Xi, would be able to be crowned the prince of the country! By the way, you know what? The official family rewarded many people this time! Cao Xi said.

"Then there must be no reward for Lu Yijian!" Bao Qing asked.

"Rewarded, but there is no official position to reward him, so I rewarded him with a big mansion, and the location is very good!"

"The official family still rewarded him?" According to Bao Qing's estimate, it has already been calculated if the prime minister of Lu Yijian is not removed. It's really strange that the official family actually rewarded him.

"There is also Fan Zhongyan, the official went to Tianzhang Pavilion to be systematized, and became the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. Even Kong Daofu's guy returned to Beijing and became the Imperial Historian. By the way, your friend Ouyang Xiu has also been added to the official position and has done a pavilion proofreading. ”

Cao Xi's words continued, Bao Qing was stunned and didn't understand, and many officials themselves didn't know what to do. It's just that Fan Zhongyan did Kaifeng Mansion Yin, but he didn't expect it. Bao Qing knows that this Kaifeng Mansion Yin can be described as real material, equivalent to the mayor of the capital city in later generations.

"Then why did Cheng Lin go?"

"This Cheng Lin is the most proud, she is a servant of the ministry! What a shortage! Cao Xi said enviously, as if he only hated himself for being a martial artist, and he couldn't live the addiction of civil officials.

"By the way, how did the official family deal with the little county lord?" Bao Qing thought of the poor little girl, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"This one hasn't been read yet, but I don't know. It's just very strange that there is news in the palace that the eleventh prince who is imprisoned is not in the heavenly prison, and the clan relatives are allowed to visit. You say, it's all like this, where are the clansmen going to visit, and they can't wait to stay away. Cao Xi said with emotion.

Bao Qing felt sorry in his heart, people are such a reality, there is no other way.

"By the way, Bao Qing, the old man heard that you have a Dali Temple, and you are still in charge of Tianchang County? All right! Promising! The official family is going to reuse you! Cao Xi looked at Bao Qing happily.

"How? What is important to me? ”

"Think about it, you have made such a great contribution, and you deserve a big reward. The official family let you be leveled down, and on the surface there was no promotion, but on the one hand, you were asked to take the position of a Beijing official, and on the other hand, you were put in charge of local affairs! It's a typical workout for you! And you will be transferred to the capital at any time. ”

Bao Qing nodded a little understandingly, could it be that Da Song also needed to go to the grassroots level to train for two years before being promoted? (To be continued.) )
