"It's getting late, why don't Liu Zhengzi go home early today," Lai Ji said.

Liu Xu stopped what he was doing and stood up, but he stood there hesitating again. He wanted to ask Laiji to borrow money, but he couldn't. It was only a few days after the last borrowing and he still hadn't paid it back.

"But do you want to borrow some money?" Lai Ji asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Liu Xu could only give a heavy hum in the end, "Is it convenient to come to school?"

"Colleagues should help each other," Lai Ji patted his arm, "But you don't need to borrow it today. Come on, I'll take you to see the martial arts master."

After listening to Lai Ji's words, Wu Huaiyu looked at the thin Liu Zhengzi in front of him. He felt a little pitiful but more admirable. If he were to be left to future generations, I'm afraid no one would always remember these kindnesses. After all, who doesn't think about himself first?

"Didn't we just pay everyone one month's salary earlier?"

"I borrowed a lot of money before I went to the official position. I used it to pay back the debt as soon as I got it." Liu Xu said embarrassedly.

Now Liu Xu is trapped in a death spiral. His meager salary cannot withstand the demands of many villagers, but he cannot refuse.

Now he has borrowed too much money, and his colleagues and friends cannot borrow any more. Fortunately, he did not borrow Beijing debt, otherwise the interest rate would make him despair.

"Liu Zhengzi, your situation is indeed not easy, but I still want to advise you. Although you have received a lot of help from the villagers in the past, it is natural for you to give back to everyone now, but you must also do what you can.

You should focus more on your job. You have been Ren Zhengzi for more than three years, so you have some talent, but your energy has been distracted by other things.

I transferred you to the Economic Affairs Bureau. I hope you can concentrate on your work and not be distracted by too many chores. If you can be promoted, then you will be able to help more. Otherwise, if you can't support your own wife and children, how can you help others?

"

"In your case, the bureau can take care of you and give you an advance of three months' salary. They can also lend you a sum of government rations."

Liu Xuyue's monthly salary was only one thousand and fifty, and the daily supplies and miscellaneous supplies were equivalent to four hundred and fifty, which was four thousand five hundred yuan for three months, and the double salary was nine thousand yuan. Huaiyu lent him two more stones of grain without charging interest.

It can be regarded as a help from the bureau to the officials who are in trouble.

"I'm going to be the official, I'm going to be the official..." Liu Xu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. This person came from a humble background, but he was able to work hard and become a Jinshi from a shepherd boy. Wu Huaiyu also heard what Ji said about this person's ability and character.

Outstanding, I was transferred here after his recommendation.

He also discovered that this man was indeed very talented. He knew nine classics and five classics. Moreover, he was not just a poor Confucian scholar, he was also good at general affairs and was worthy of training.

"We are all colleagues in the yamen, so we won't talk about that." Huaiyu waved his hand, "If you still have difficulties in the future, you can just come to me directly."

Liu Xu thanked him gratefully.

"We have a very heavy task of copying books recently. We cannot copy them by hand in regular script. I am planning to subcontract some of the copying work and give it to the students of the Imperial College to do the copying."

Liu Xu immediately said that he could also copy at night.

"I'm not saying this so that you can make money by copying books. You can only earn a piece of silk by copying a book, which is just a bit of hard-earned money." He waved his hand, "I see that you are very capable of doing things, and I plan to outsource this copying of books."

·····”

Huaiyu wanted to outsource book copying, and asked Liu Xu to be a small outsourcer. For example, if the task of copying five hundred and one thousand volumes of books was packaged into a project, how much money would be given to outsource it to Liu Xu? Liu Xu could then subcontract it to the students of the Imperial College.

Wait, it's a bit harder here, but there's definitely a big price difference.

Even if you only earn a few dozen dollars from one roll, you can earn thousands from a hundred rolls. If you really want to operate it, there are still some benefits, but it will be more laborious.

But Liu Xu is not afraid of hard work. This is much faster than copying books, and there must even be some space in the pen, ink and paper.

This matter is not considered corruption or anything like that. After all, it is the real needs of the Bureau of Economic Affairs. These operations are within the normal scope.

Even this subcontracting model is relatively efficient.

Of course, it is also human nature to seek some small benefits for one's subordinates. Poor literary and literary characters like Zhang Chengde and Liu Xu should take the opportunity to make some money to subsidize their families.

This is also an important means to win over the hearts and minds of his subordinates.

"My only requirement is that the quality of the books copied must be guaranteed and meet the requirements. The price I will give you for copying each book is 10,000 words of silk, which is equivalent to the current price of silk, or 200 yuan. If you can find someone to copy it for you,

It costs a hundred dollars to copy a book. As long as you can copy the book well, that's your skill.

The bureau can provide paper, pens and ink, or you can pay to purchase them yourself according to the bureau's requirements. It's still the same requirement. You must meet the bureau's requirements..."

"I can pay you 30% in advance, and then pay some more for each batch delivered, and finally leave 20% as the balance. As long as everything passes the inspection, I will pay you all."

These conditions are all taken care of very much.

"Thank you, Master."

"Just do things beautifully, that's all. Now go and pay the money and food and go home to entertain your relatives."
