Chapter 147 Little Six Daily

There is a fine line between a poor family and a thriving family.

In Li Xiaoliu's case, the reason why this conversion happened was because of a rumor, and it wasn't even a matter of silver.

Rumors that both the Emperor and the first person in Jinyi had a blue eye for him soon spread in private.

Even some of Xiao Liu's father's old colleagues and bosses heard this rumor. As a result, the number of people who invited Li Xiaowu to participate in the banquet suddenly increased, even to the point where he needed to arrange an hour.

After so many years, Li Xiaowu, who is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of life, is very clear about the purpose of these invitations. Everyone just wants to have a good relationship. At this stage, naturally no one will directly put forward the need to do things, if it is this kind of officialdom emotional intelligence person, he will die a long time ago.

In the courtyard there are three small benches and a small square table.

Li Xiaoliu was not on duty, so he sat on one of the benches in his original homely clothes with patches, a record book given by his father in his hand, a few pieces of white paper on the square table, and a few Chinese brand red and blue pencils distributed in the yamen. This pencil is now the favorite of every kind of official, and now it only appears in official schools except for the use of the imperial court, and cannot be sold to the outside world.

"Brother, drink tea."

As soon as Li Xiaoliu looked up, he found that it was not Jiu'er, but his own Xiaoqi. When I turned around, I saw Jiu'er leaning against the kitchen door, holding a mutton stick and nibbling on it. Jin Yiwei seized too much mutton, and there was no way, so he could only send it to everyone according to his official position. Li Xiaoliu was a little disgusted, the mutton was originally fishy, and it was piled up in the Jinyiwei warehouse, and the fishy smell was even heavier. He hooked the basket with two fingers, covered his nose and brought the mutton to the old lady, but was slapped by his own mother.

I don't know why, my mother didn't beat me much before, but since I made a hundred households, my mother has become more and more heavy.

Xiao Qi poured a bowl of tea for his brother and put the teapot on the table, but he refused to leave, but he heard Jiu'er chuckle.

Li Xiaoliu knows why.

He picked up a red and blue pencil and said to Xiao Qi:

"This is the housekeeper to the ministers of the court, ten sticks per month, six in blue and four in red. It is never sold to the outside world. If anyone of your classmates has it, it must have been taken from someone in the family, but I won't give it to you. If you want, you can be admitted to the Executive Academy or the Royal Army Academy, and you can also send it there. ”

Xiao Qi was told by his brother, and his face turned red.

"It's good to have one, but it's actually useless, but if you want to communicate with those high-ranking disciples, it doesn't seem inappropriate."

"Oh?" Li Xiaoliu's heart moved slightly.

"Gaomen is because the children are powerful, not because the children are powerful. If you don't talk about the party that allows you to enter, someone will send you an invitation. I don't want to invite you to a party, you just have a hundred pencils, and you can't get an invitation. ”

"We are a poor family, relying on craftsmanship to eat, don't think badly."

As he spoke, he secretly put the three pieces of silver next to the teapot.

Xiao Qi's technique was not skilled at all, and he panicked and got the silver to the ground again.

Unexpectedly, he was seen by Xiao Jiu at the kitchen door. She rushed over with a big bone, threatening Xiao Qi with her mouth, and pointing in the direction of the kitchen with a shiny face.

Li Xiaoliu drew a line next to the square table, saying that you can negotiate by yourself, as long as you don't rush over this line and dirty your paperwork.

The brother and sister were making a fuss, but there was a sound of knocking on the door outside the door.

"Is Li Xiaobaihu here?" It's the captain who comes.

Li Baihu seems to be called Li Xiaoliu's father, and he is directly called Xiaoliubaihu, and he doesn't seem to be familiar with it to that point. I don't know who took the lead, but the name Li Xiaobaihu spread in his neighborhood.

Jiu'er heard the voice, took the piece of broken silver he grabbed and hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

"Is it long? I'm at home. Li Xiaoliu didn't have much of a fight, and stood up. After all, he is older than his father, and the reputation of respecting the elderly is still a necessity for himself as a newcomer.

As he spoke, the smiling lieutenant took small steps and came in with a few businessman-like people. Today, he and Li Xiaoliu made an appointment in advance, and they made an appointment for the person who borrowed money from the Li family.

Their family had no collateral, and they used usury that was out of seven.

borrowed ten taels of silver, and the other party directly cut three taels of interest when he made a move, but in fact there were only seven taels in their hands. Then when it comes to the day of return, it is necessary to return the principal of ten taels, and thirty percent of the interest, a total of thirteen taels.

Li Xiaoliu gave up a place for the lieutenant and asked him to sit down.

The loan shark was very polite, Li Xiaoliu did not give up his seat, and the people stood in front of him with their hands in their hands. Li Xiaoliu didn't plan to have too much contact with these people, and only gave him a cup of tea.

He opened the book and pulled out a silver ticket of fifty taels from it. The thirty taels of silver in the house were received in two installments, but in fact, the first fifteen taels were not repaid on time, and the new account was borrowed to make up for the old one.

The other party was also prepared, and directly put a silver ticket of thirty taels on the table.

Li Xiaoliu didn't accept it, pushed back the fifty taels of silver tickets and thirty taels of silver tickets, and said:

"My house is here, you go back and let the bookkeeper settle the accounts clearly, if it is not enough, come to me at any time."

"Enough, enough." The other party is also a famous piece of green skin on weekdays, and he is also shirtless in the winter, revealing tattoos all over the street. Now he bowed his head and said with a smile:

"Our host said that Xiao Langjun actually used twenty taels of principal silver. Who's money to make, but it can't just make Xiao Langjun's money, so ......"

Li Xiaoliu interrupted him, but said to the lieutenant chief.

"Do you know how I got these fifty taels of silver tickets?" After that, he took the silver ticket and showed it to the lieutenant. The material of mulberry paper shines in the sun, and there seems to be a watermark of the four seas. The chief looked at it and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"That must be Li Xiaobaihu's money." What else can the chief say, you can't say that you work for a day and I work for a year.

"Not really." This mouth is sometimes a good channel.

"I've only been wearing this official uniform for a few days, how can I have so much money. I'll tell you the truth. I'm a thick-skinned man. Yesterday, I went to Commander Li, and to tell the truth, I wanted to repay the debt, so I borrowed such a sum of money from Commander Li's personal person. ”

Hearing this, the lieutenant firmly believed in the rumors that this guy had the blue eyes of the nobles, and the green skin next to him trembled even more, the big boss of Jinyi Wei knew about his family's usury, and he had to talk about it to the owner anyway.

Li Xiaoliu didn't tell a lie.

As soon as he returned to Jinyiwei, Li Ruolian called him over, saying that His Majesty was also urging the progress of the establishment of the Inspection Division. He also asked him to write down the constitution and manpower of this yamen and hand it to the Criminal Department and the new governor of Zhili, Lu Xiangsheng, and then transfer it to the cabinet after listening to the opinions of the two places.

The only thing Li Ruolian suffered was to write excerpts.

The emperor scolded him several times, sometimes because the writing was too fancy, sometimes because the writing was too vulgar. Sometimes it's just because everyone else wrote it, but Li Ruolian didn't write it.

Li Ruolian was also very aggrieved, he felt that the twist was his life.

Li Xiaoliu doesn't find it difficult, he actually reads books very well, not to mention that he has a father who has been immersed in it for decades.

When he was about to go out, he thought about it, but Li Xiaoliu told Li Ruolian about his family's debt to the loan shark, and asked him to borrow fifty taels of silver, and then wait for the money to come down and then return it.

These were all given to him by his father.

"Little Liu, remember, we are people with no background, and we want to be appreciated by Shangguan. One is to be able to work, which many people can do. The second is to be honest. You can lie to His Majesty the Emperor, you can lie to the other six Shangshu, and you can even dig a pit for your colleagues. None of this matters, the important thing is that you must let your immediate boss know clearly before you do it. At the same time, sometimes, expose some of your weaknesses to others. ”

Li Xiaoliu is an obedient child, and when his father says so, he does it.

But when he came out of Li Ruolian's place, he could feel that this method worked very well.

Li Ruolian directly asked the account office to give him one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets. Then he waved his hand, saying that it would be good for him to deduct it from the reserve fund of the new yamen, and he didn't have to worry about it.

Now he still has two more in his books.
