55.156

錢雇 (In texts this is generally written as 顧; the pronunciation is the same, with the fanqie *gu[āng] + [h]ù*. *Gu* is like words for repaying, compensating, and returning remuneration; it refers to obtaining something by giving money. In the Hanshu, "repeatedly hired and disbursed gold and coins," Wen Ying states: "This means using gold and coins to hire oneself out." In the Hou Hanshu, "selling offices, giving the rank of Guanneihou to anyone who hired it for five hundred ren," both are examples of this).
