Chapter 646: Jia Shifei's Ambition

Children don't have a deep sense of riding, they can't see what the skills are good or bad, they just look at whether it's lively and fun.

The adults around were applauding, so Xu Daihuan and Xu Daixuan also cheered together, and Xu Daizhuo almost failed to hold them.

A rather magnanimous voice sounded behind Xu Daizhuo:

"Little friends should be careful, here it is said that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there have always been a lot of scum in shooting flowers."

Xu Daizhuo looked back and saw that he was a middle-aged man with the appearance of a Confucian in a green shirt, and from the perspective of this era, he was a handsome uncle.

"Brother, what is a flower shoot?" Xu Daizhuo asked curiously.

"Heh, at a glance, I know that Xiaoyou is the son of a big family." The man stroked his long beard and said lightly: "Some people who claim to be people in the rivers and lakes are actually human traffickers. ”

Xu Daizhuo subconsciously grabbed the hands of his younger siblings.

"Childe came out to play, why didn't he bring his servants? That way can ensure the safety of the young man and the young lady. ”

Xu Daizhuo was carrying a gun, he thought that at least in Lin'an, all kinds of little thieves should not be afraid, but listening to the meaning of this uncle he didn't know, people use indiscriminate means, even if you have a gun, you don't necessarily know who to fight.

Human traffickers rarely rob and rob, they are all stealing, what can you do if you don't have a gun just front to you?

Xu Daizhuo nodded to the middle-aged man and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Brother Tai for reminding me, the kid will definitely not make this kind of mistake next time." ”

Little did he know that he had dozens of bodyguards sent from all sides around him at the moment—many of whom were very concerned about his safety and the safety of his younger siblings—at least more than he cared about himself.

"Listen to the accent, Xiaoyou is not a local, right?" The middle-aged man looked indifferent, and he accepted Xu Daizhuo's thanks.

"Yes, people from Xiajiangbei came to Jiangnan to visit relatives."

"It turned out to be the son from Jiangbei, so I have to know the inside story of Lin'an." The middle-aged man bowed slightly, and introduced himself: "People in Xiahuzhou, surnamed Jia, the word Shi Fei." ”

Lin Ruhai's daughter still lived in Jia's house in the end, but Jia Shifei was also recommended by Lin Ruhai to serve as an official in Jinling, and broke away from the identity of the Lin family's master - he was originally famous, and it was not difficult to be recommended as a minor official by the Salt Patrol Imperial History.

Jia Shifei didn't know if this result was Lin Ruhai's appeasement of himself, but he himself was not satisfied with this result.

Jiangnan official, what's the point of being in front of him now? Is it true that he Jia Shifei can't see the general trend of the world clearly?

It's a pity that he sees the general trend of the world clearly, but he can't do anything at all.

Because Jia Shifei does not have any connections in Jiangbei, even if he is in the past now, he has to be able to look down on him as a small civil official in Jiangbei.

It is necessary to go south through this Wenyue and Wenji to catch up with the north, otherwise no matter how big the official is, he will not be considered an official.

But you must sell yourself at a good price, and you must not sell it cheaply.

This is Jia Shifei's biggest goal at present.

It is not easy to achieve this goal, after all, Jia Shifei has too few cards. But it's not completely out of chance, because he can betray, and he betrays others in a righteous and open way.

Therefore, Jia Shifei was not in a hurry to take office in Jinling, but came to Lin'an with only a few loyal servants and all his property.

He hoped to find an opportunity for Xu Daizhuo to go out and play alone, and first give a deep impression to the future ruler of the empire - no matter how unattainable Xu Daizhuo's status is in the future, he is now only a young man under the age of 17, and Jia Shifei does not believe that he can stay in the Wenfu forever.

Once Xu Daizhuo goes out, it will be Jia Shifei's chance.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, Jia Shifei and a few loyal servants took turns squatting, and finally waited for Xu Daizhuo to go out alone.

Then Jia Shifei came to create this chance encounter.

Even if you leave an impression first, there will be a chance to meet in the future - such a simple opportunity to "Jane in the emperor's heart" is hard to find in the world.

"Since Childe is from Jiangbei, he must have seen a lot of good horses and good riders, right?"

Jia Shifei didn't care about Xu Daizhuo's somewhat impolite behavior of not introducing himself, he asked according to his plan:

"What is the level of the father and daughter in front of you in the eyes of the son?"

In Jia Shifei's opinion, the Xu family should be very attentive to cavalry, and it seems to be a very good idea to use this topic to pull the relationship in.

Xu Daizhuo took the hands of his younger brothers and sisters, looked at the girl who had completed a set of performances, dismounted and rested, and the old man who was begging for rewards from the people around him, and said lightly:

"It's probably a mid-stream level, I'm not really familiar with this, it's just watching the Mughal Tartars perform before the ball race Marseille, and I feel that they are a little less enthusiastic in comparison."

Xu Daizhuo really doesn't know much about the problem of horsemanship, he is a navy, a navy for one day and a navy for life, and he is inherently incompatible with the cavalry belonging to the army.

If you ask him about navigation, shipbuilding, the use of the star board, and so on, he can say a lot about it.

This answer surprised Jia Shifei a little, he originally thought that the northern royal family should attach great importance to issues such as horse riders, so that he could take the opportunity to propose that Xu Daizhuo take the father and daughter into his pocket.

They are Jia Shifei's people, although they are not personal companions, but earlier, Jia Shifei had helped the father and daughter who ran the rivers and lakes (Jia Shifei once wanted to accept that daughter as a concubine, but for some reason he never did this), they have always been very grateful to him, these days, it is also Jia Shifei who let them run horses around here in order to attract the attention of others.

This was a success, but the idea of recommending the father and daughter to Xu Daizhuo seemed to have failed.

But it's not a big deal, the old man walked to Jia Shifei's side, he deliberately pretended not to know, and took out twenty yuan (the official price is Wu Wen's copper coin, and private transactions can be regarded as two copper coins) and handed it to the old man.

Xu Daizhuo glanced at him, thought for a while, and finally took out an imperial silver coin.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then thanked him again and again - one or two denominations of imperial silver coins are also considered hard currency in Jiangnan, and the official price is one tael equal to one thousand Wen, but in fact, one thousand two hundred Wen can be exchanged.

"It's a little friendly atmosphere." Jia Shifei said with a smile: "This money can make their father and daughter live a good life for a few months." ”

"Months?" Xu Daizhuo asked strangely: "Didn't you say that Jiangnan was rich and prosperous?" One or two is enough for two adults to live for several months? ”

According to statistical estimates, the annual per capita income of the imperial commoner class was around 50 taels, and the citizens were even higher, at 70 taels.

The average level of the common people is much lower, about 8 to 10 taels.

If what Jia Shifei said just now is true, then the income of the people who sell art in Jiangnan is not as good as that of the common people of the empire!
