When Jing Yu was thinking about how to solve the power problem he needed in the hotel, patrolman Gleason also had his own troubles.

Patrolman Gleason didn't want to have more contact with the gentleman from abroad. You should know that he doesn't have the opportunity to deal with such a rich gentleman, and he could see which gentleman came to London alone. No matter what, it means that he needs someone to help, then it's his own chance.

Maybe if you help a few times and satisfy this gentleman, you can bring good luck to yourself. Although this hope is slim, for Gleason, who has no way out, he will not miss any possible opportunity, even if that opportunity seems small or difficult.

As a patrolman at the bottom of the London Police Department, Mr. Lesterred Gleason's annual income is 45 pounds, which is just enough for a bachelor, but Mr. Gleason is not a bachelor. He has a wife and three children.

Of course, Mr. Gleason had some other income, which some people on the street respected him, and combined for more than £20 a year, so that he could barely maintain his family life.

But it is just to support life. The rent for the Gleason family is 12 pounds a year, 1 pound a month, and it costs 4 pounds to support their wives and children to have enough food. In this era, the price of bread is not cheap. A pound of bread in a bakery outside costs 2 shillings. Even if they eat cheap food, the five of their family of five will cost about 1 pound a week. In addition to clothes and other expenses of children, Mr. Gleason's income can barely support life.

For those young single patrolmen, they can also go to the theater to do a janitor or something after work, and Gleason still has a family that needs him to support.

Of course, if he keeps going like this, he won’t think too much about it. After all, it’s better than going to a factory or working as a dock worker. Although his life is not very good, he can at least continue to live. His children and his wife can have a full meal.

However, Mr. Gleason has now encountered a good opportunity in his career, that is, there is a vacant position in the inspectorate in his area.

Of course, that was not a surprise. The inspector drank too much and was choked to death by his own vomit. Gleason saw with his own eyes what his chief looked like after his death.

For Gleason, this is not something worthy of sadness. His commander is not a good person. Gleason will not feel sad about his commander's death. Instead, he is very interested in the position he left after his death.

The sheriff said that the inspector's position was planned to be sold for £300 and would be given priority to those of them. If they could not take it out, the sheriff would have to sell it to people outside.

Yes, at this time, spending money to buy a position is not an indescribable act. Even if you can discuss it publicly, those who buy official positions will not feel ashamed.

Of course, the benefits of this inspector's position are also very obvious. Since the patrolman became a inspector, the normal income per year was 80 pounds, and then there were also various filial piety to add up to 150 pounds. The cost can be recovered in just two years, and the nine patrolmen under him can also be managed.

However, £300 is also a lot of money for the patrol officers in their jurisdiction. As far as he knows, several of his patrol colleagues are also very jealous of this.

Gleason also knew that they could not raise the money, just as they knew they could not raise the money.

He needed to go home and discuss with his wife. Unlike Gleason, who was born in a blacksmith shop, his wife, Mrs. Gleason, was born in a factory owner's house. Although it was a very small family workshop-like factory. In addition to Mrs. Gleason's father, one of her brothers and two younger brothers worked where they were. In addition, his father also hired three helpers.

Mrs. Gleason received a certain education, but it was impossible for women to have any inheritance rights in this era. When she was 17 years old, Mrs. Gleason received a dowry and then married Gleason, the son of the blacksmith shop owner. In the following decade, she gave birth to multiple children for him, but only three survived.

Mr. Gleason has always been very convinced of his wife. She is different from his colleagues' rough wife, so Gleason is willing to discuss anything with her.

He planned to go home and discuss with his wife after the patrol to see if she had any good ideas to get the 300 pounds together, and maybe where could she borrow some from her father?

Of course, he also wanted to tell his wife about the foreigner he encountered today and see what she thought. Stars are on, Gleason always felt that this was a rare opportunity. He believed in his intuition. He had secretly found a witch in the circus for a long time and had calculated that he would operate at this age. He believed in this.

But Mr. Gleason didn't know that in addition to worrying about money, the foreign gentleman who he thought was a rich man was also struggling about money.

Although he doesn't have to worry about life in a short period of time, this era is not a good era. It is even more terrifying to have a person without money than running naked in the desert. He also hopes that if he can't return to his own world, he will at least live a decent life.

Of course, he also had a preliminary plan, which was to plagiarize and export culturally to another world that countless time-travel predecessors had done.

He has seen some of the above stories serialized through these newspapers, so it means that at least there should be a statement that there should be a royalty fee at this time.

Jing Yu is planning to plagiarize some foreign novels and articles in his kindle e-book. Of course, he has to choose those words that are suitable for this era, because this way of making money does not require too much investment in the early stage. Just buy some paper and pen, which is very suitable for his current state and is very feasible.

As for having money, he felt that he could use the information from later generations to "invent" some new products and then open a factory, but plagiarism is more suitable for the current state. After all, he has no capital now.

His kindle can be used for at least one month, plus the power bank in his hand and a solar panel it carried with him (it was originally reserved for inconvenient charging occasions, but Jing Yu felt very lucky to bring it with him). Although he could not power the laptop, at least the phone and kindle were enough.

He has time to plagiarize what he wants. Of course, there is a problem with language translation before plagiarism, that is, the novels in his e-books are all Chinese versions. You should know that people who are not good at English are willing to read original English novels on weekdays. After all, things that are not their native language seem very tired. Jing Yu is more willing to read Chinese versions for entertainment. He will choose the original English book unless there is no translation or the translation is too bad.

So can a person who is not a native language but is fluent in English and then restore novels translated into Chinese to English? I'm afraid it's very difficult, not to mention that the English grammar and word use in this world are somewhat different from their own world.

"Then, let's recruit some locals to help me polish it," Jing Yu thought.

That is to select suitable novels in kindle, and then translate them into his current English version, and then find a local editor to translate his English into the English of this world, and finally submit it to the newspaper. This is Jing Yu’s latest plan.

But this is not an easy thing. He doesn't know much about this era. If he gets into trouble when plagiarism occurs, it will be a disaster, especially his identity as a foreigner.
