Chapter 56: Inquiring

Let Shen Fei embarrass these poor ordinary people here, he is also embarrassed, he secretly sighed in his heart, and the spiritual power in his body surged to the [Light Spirit Boots] under his feet, and he opened the active skill, and the movement speed instantly increased greatly.

He didn't stop any longer, and ran farther and farther into the city without looking back, gradually falling out of the sight of the officials.

Looking for an alley where no one was around, Shen Fei jumped off the roof and put away his hood, and after observing left and right, he blended into the crowd.

With Shen Fei's foot strength, it only took a moment to arrive at the street of the dart bureau, and he was not in a hurry to return, he found a tea stall nearby and sat down, beckoned the boss to come to a bowl of tea, and rested by himself.

The location of this place is excellent, but anyone who enters and exits the street of the dart bureau will not escape the observation of this tea stall.

didn't let Shen Fei wait for a long time, a familiar figure, probed his brain into a certain dart game, Shen Fei wrote down the name of the dart game, and then got up and prepared to return to Xingyuan dart game.

He had just raised his butt when suddenly a voice came: "Guest officer, you haven't paid yet." ”

Shen Fei turned his head, took out the broken silver from the magician in his arms, handed it to the boss, and said, "Sorry boss, I forgot, I didn't sincerely rely on you." ”

The boss was also easy to speak, took the broken silver, and said with a humble smile: "It's okay, there are often guest officers who look fascinated like you, and then forget to pay and leave." ”

When Shen Fei heard this, his heart moved secretly, and he asked casually, "Are there a lot of people like me who are staring?" As he spoke, he stared at the expression of the tea stall owner.

But seeing the owner of the tea stall, he replied with a simple smile: "Old man, I don't know what stalking is, maybe the scenery over there is better, and the guest officials are distracted." ”

Without giving Shen Fei a chance to ask, the owner of the tea stall put away the tea bowl and went to work elsewhere.

Shen Fei glanced at him deeply, pondered the location of this tea stall in his heart, which can be described as an excellent place to watch, shook his head with a smile, and left.

When he returned to the Xingyuan Dart Bureau, Wang Dart was already waiting for him in the lobby.

At this time, he greeted Shen Fei and said with a friendly smile: "Chen has explained his head, tonight's body dart, let's go together, what weapon are you good at?" Let's go to the martial arts hall and take advantage of it. ”

Shen Fei understood that Chen Jin should have arranged for Wang Dart to bring himself a newcomer, otherwise the task of escorting Kuding would not need the only two darts in the bureau to go out, and it would be enough to go to a few veteran dart masters.

Obviously, it is necessary to cultivate Shen Fei on the backbone, which is also inevitable, such a good seedling, Chen Jin will naturally not waste it.

Shen Fei picked out a decent quality lancet in Yanwutang and hung it on his waist.

For those who have not practiced the art of weapon warfare, it is best to use a spear or a knife. The lancet is named because the blade is shaped like a willow leaf, and it is a relatively common knife in the Qing Dynasty.

The two greeted a few brothers and went on the road, along the way, Wang Darttou was introducing Shen Fei to the customs of this place, the power of the local snake, and which green forest heroes he had friendships with, etc., and at the same time, he was also listening to Shen Fei's reality inside and outside the words.

Shen Fei's mind also spun fast, and he tried his best to respond without leaking. The rest of the dart masters in the team also know how to read words and colors, and whenever they need to talk, they will echo a few words, and there will be laughter and laughter along the way.

In the conversation of everyone, Shen Fei also figured out what kind of family Qian Yuanwai's house, that is, the place where the magician performed the task, was.

Since his father's generation, the family has been in business, but it can only be regarded as a well-off family, although it is very rare to achieve a well-off in that era, but it is far from being rich.

And when it came to the money clerk outside the house, everything was different.

In addition to Qian Yuan, some people also call him Master Qian, whose real name is Qian Tong.

He abandoned his father's small business, sold the family's valuable belongings, took a large amount of money, and befriended a local salt merchant, who he recognized as his godfather, and followed the salt dealer.

With his shrewdness, ability and good operation, he helped his salt merchant godfather in three years, and won the salt market in several cities one after another, and won the trust of the salt merchant godfather.

The following year, the salt merchant's godfather died of a sudden illness, and he took over the godfather's business strongly, and the whole process was very smooth, and the upper and lower lines were properly arranged.

With the expansion of his godfather's network, he made his business bigger and bigger, slowly involved in the grain business, and used the money earned from selling salt to invest in the cotton spinning industry and open a grocery store, almost covering the food and clothing of the common people.

And during the period of doing business, many people also funded Xiucai and Jinshi in various places, and some of these people later became officials in the court, and some were in charge of the government, and the power outside the money was also more and more huge.

And Qian Tong did not hesitate to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and many famous martial arts masters were all guests of Master Qian.

Although Qian Yuan lives in Ningcheng, as long as he opens his mouth, his voice can spread throughout the surrounding cities, and even reach the heavens.

Shen Fei asked curiously, with such a powerful person, why would he issue a task to a dart bureau like Xingyuan, although Xingyuan is not small, but even in this Ning City, it is only a middle and upper reaches at most, not to mention that there are some national chain dart stores.

Wang Darttou laughed after hearing this: "Where is only our Xingyuan family, Master Qian acts, and his hand will naturally not be small, Ningcheng has sent good players to the big and small dart bureaus, and even the capital has a big dart bureau." ”

Shen Fei secretly remembered it in his heart after hearing this, and at the same time, there was also a worry in his heart, the foreign power of the money clerk was so huge, why did he need to hire a dart bureau to take care of the home?

Besides, if it is hired all year round, it means that Mr. Qian pays attention to security, and now he is only employed for half a month, so there are some doorways.

Suppress the doubts in your heart first, the Kuding they are going to escort are off work, and Shen Fei is about to start working.

To say that protecting Kuding is an interesting job, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a kind of human dart, but it does not need to trek through mountains and rivers, just simply escort them to and from work, so some people count it in the extra little work, not as a dart.

Kudin, the small worker who smelted silver in the treasury, had neither power nor status, but some people rushed to do it, and the reason was that this work could obtain some ill-gotten gains.

From the Yongzheng period, the tax silver collected by the Qing government was all cash silver, and the bosses did not earn much, so all they handed over were broken silver.

Officials from all over the country took advantage of this and reported to the imperial court that it was not easy to count and put the broken silver into the treasury. They simply melt it into a unified standard of silver with a whole ingot, which is called official silver.

As soon as the emperor heard the reason, he allowed it to play.

Since then, all localities have to be corrupt from the link of melting and casting official silver, because there will always be loss in the melting of silver, ten taels of silver, nine taels of silver with a conscience, and a little greed will increase the loss, layer by layer of deductions, it would be good to have seven or eight taels.

And the small workers who melt the silver, although they should not be as blatant as the upper officials, can get some of them more or less.

Every time you steal a little bit from work, you can get extra income every year, which is not a few.
