"Mr. Robin Hood has many companions, and his entourage comes with him to rob the rich and help the poor." Elordi added.

"Haha, maybe that little cat monk will really find some companions for himself as Miss, as you said." Leroy covered his mouth and smiled, "Okay, the story is over, Miss, it's time for you to go to bed."

"Miss Leroy, tell me more about this little cat monk! I'm very interested in this monster thief!"

"Miss, I have told you all the deeds of the cat monk I have heard."

Leroy raised his hand and touched Elordi's soft light blonde hair.

"Since you are very interested in the story of the cat monk... I will pay attention to all kinds of news related to the cat monk for you in the future, and inform you of these news as soon as possible."

"Really?" Elordi's eyes, whose already big eyes were wider, were even more flashing in her pupils, and the light of the stars was reminded of.

Leroy smiled and nodded: "The premise is that Miss, you will go to bed immediately whenever it is time to go to bed. Otherwise..."

"Miss Leroy! Help me turn off the candlelight, I'm going to go to bed!"

After saying that, Elordi closed her eyes tightly and covered her quilt tighter.

Leroy, who was amused by Elordi's cute appearance, smiled again, stood up from the chair, extinguished the candlelight placed beside the bedside, and left Elordi's bedroom with sternness.

slap, slap, slap...

Outside the room, Leroy's footsteps gradually faded away.

After confirming that Leroy had walked away, Aeroti playedfully half-opened one of her right eyes, glanced at the closed door, and opened both eyes widened after confirming that Leroy had walked away.

"Are the cat monks?" Elordi looked at the light gray ceiling under the smudge of the night and the moonlight that penetrated through the window.

"I don't know if it would be a handsome man who is both powerful and elegant..."

Alodi raised her expectation on her lips and corners of her eyes, and she was fascinated with smile.

...

...

The next day—

In the early morning, Bo Jing and others had just arrived at the Northern Fan Institute to work. Qingdeng and Nishino, who had been working all night shifts in the Northern Fan Institute, immediately reported the important news that "the cat monk appeared at the Northern Fan Institute last night."

After learning about this, the senior executives of the Northern Fan Institute, led by Bo Jing, were shocked.

Previously, the cat monk had always shown himself as "only stealing the money of Yakuza, the bad guys and the profiteers."

How could the little cat monk appear at the Beifan Institute last night? What is he going to do? He came to the Beifan Institute to steal things?

Under Bo Jing's instruction and organization, everyone quickly investigated the Northern Fan Institute inside and outside to see if there was anything missing, and finally found that nothing was missing.

This made everyone even more confused.

The cat monk had no plans to steal things in the Northern Fan... or was it because Qing Deng, who was about to go to the toilet, had to stop the theft before he had time to steal things?

If he had no plans to steal things from the Northern Fan Academy, then he would appear in the Northern Fan Academy for no reason, what would he want?

The extreme lack of intelligence has made these questions never answered...

In the end, the incident of "The Cat Monk suddenly visited the Beifan Institute late at night" could only end without success.

If there is no intelligence, the monk can’t catch the cat and the monk. What else can I do if I follow the office?

Anyway, I haven't been stolen anything important, so I'll just let it go.

Bo Jing asked everyone to pay more attention from now on, strengthen their defense at night, and ordered Nishino, who is now fully responsible for catching the cat monk, to work harder and strive to catch the cat monk as soon as possible, the matter of "cat monk attacking the night" was overturned.

A few days later, two great events occurred in the Nan and North Enjoyment Institute of Edo.

The first great event: Everyone’s family, salary, and offerings in spring have finally been distributed.

Generally speaking, the income of warriors is mainly composed of two parts: family and salary.

In the Edo period, Japan pursued a "rice-based" economic system, and whether it was family income or salary, it was basically distributed with rice. After receiving the rice, the samurai exchanged the rice with the merchants for money.

Most samurai theoretically own a piece of land inherited from the family era that they served from the lords they served.

The rice produced on this fiefdom is the family fortune of your family.

If your fiefdom can produce 100 stones of rice, then your family income is 100 stones.

The warriors only have nominal ownership of the fiefdom owned by their family. The actual right to use was collected by the generals and daimyos.

To put it simply, we will take care of our fiefdom. But you will not lose a grain of rice you should give you.

In the name of "helping to manage the land", the generals and daimyos held all the rights to use the fiefs of the warriors under their command, and all the rice produced on the fiefs will be distributed to the warriors who own these fiefs.

The rice produced on the fiefdom will not be given to the samurai, and all taxes must be paid. In the Edo era, whether it is family income or salary, the tax rate was "four public officials and six citizens", that is, the government collects 40% of the tax.

As a subordinate Yu's family, Qing Deng, their Ju family's family has a fortune of 100 stones.

After deducting the tax on the "Four Officials and Six People", you can receive 60 stones of family fortune from the Shogunate every year.

Regardless of whether Qingdeng lost the job of the vocational school in the future, as long as his warrior's origin was not deprived, he could always receive the family fortune - but the family fortune of their Ju family is quite small, and life will be difficult to survive just by looking at this little family fortune.

Qing Deng grew up so old... No, it should be said that no one in the Ju family has seen what the fiefdom they worshiped by their family looks like, and they don’t even know where the specific location is.

This situation is actually not new. Because the generals and daimyos have grasped the right to use all the samurai fiefs, most samurai have never seen what their fiefs look like in generations. Anyway, just wait for the rice to be collected.

As for salary, it is easy to understand, it is the salary of an official. If you do not work in the government, then you will not have a salary to get.

Whether it is the unity of the office, the unity of Yinweifang or other department, as long as it is the unity of the heart, the annual salary will be basically 30 people after deducting the tax rate.

1 gram is 4 dots, and 1 gram is 10 dots, so 30 grams are converted to 12 grams.

"2-person support" can be understood as a allowance. You will be given enough rice for two adults to eat for a year every year.

The salary of one year is only 12 shi and the allowance of two people to support... the income is extremely meager.

Therefore, the life of unity in all departments is quite hard - only those who follow the unity are exception.

Because the samurai who are working in their work also have one income: offering.

In the daimyo and Edo vendors in various places will pay a "gift" to the Edo Fengshen on time every year, and request that they "care" them more in the next year.

Because this "gift" will be distributed and paid to the shogunate, the shogunate has always adopted a "turn a blind eye" attitude towards the invisible income of Edo.

Every year, the "gifts" are distributed to the officials in the vocational office according to their identity, status and political achievements.

People call this "hidden salary" that the officials of the institute can receive commonly called "consecration".

This "consecration" is the big part of the income of the officials in the pursuing institute.

Take the horse as an example - the horse's body and strength, the annual salary is 200 stones.

But with the offerings that can be received every year, the actual annual income of each person and the power of the vocation is as high as 500 to 1,000 stones.

Family salary and salary are distributed in three seasons.

One quarter will be distributed in spring, one quarter will be distributed in summer, and one half will be distributed in winter.

The worship of the sacred place is distributed in four seasons: "spring, summer, autumn and winter".

How much offering can be received in each quarter depends on your position and ability.

In the past, when Qingdeng was still "Yuanju Qingdeng", because his political achievements were really messy, the offerings he could receive every quarter were always pitifully small.

But now - Qing Deng is no longer the original "Didou Deng".

Qing Ding's heroic performance in the last quarter made him receive a very high offering this quarter: 51 taels of gold!

When Bojing reported the spring offerings that Qingdeng could receive this year, a low breathing sound broke out on the scene.

Tongxin can receive 51 taels of gold in one quarter... This is extremely rare.

The spring offering of 51 taels of gold, including the 15 shi of spring family, 3 shi of spring salary and the allowance of "2 people to support", Qingdeng's purse was swelling a little again.

As for the second big event, it became quite serious.

On the night when Aoden's home was burned, one of the arsonists that Aoden and Okita caught together - the fat man, after being arrested, was immediately sent to the prison room of Kochimacho.

Under the instruction of the shogunate, the jailyashishita, who was specifically responsible for torture the prisoners, greeted the fat man with all kinds of harsh torture methods day and night.

The fat man's will was unexpectedly firm.

Whether it is the "stone-bearing punishment" that will make people feel the pain of being almost broken with their legs, or the "sea-old-bearing punishment" that will make people feel that life is worse than death, he gritted his teeth and persevered one by one.

But... these torture methods of Luoyafu are all "the crystallization of human wisdom" created by the accumulation of thousands of years and the continuous improvement of people in previous generations.

If you can withstand these tortures for a while, can you still withstand these tortures for a lifetime?

Those who can hold up these tortures for a lifetime are the dragon among the people who are invincible - and the fat man has no chance with such a person.

After nearly three months of abuse and torture in the prison room, he could not hold on and revealed everything he knew.

According to Fatty's confession, he belongs to an organization called "Yayi Group".

All members of this organization are determined to drive all barbarians out of Japan.

A young samurai named "Kano Tatsuro" led the organization.

The fat man knew very little about the leader of their Yi Group, and he had only seen Shen Ye for a few seconds.

The only thing he knows about Shen Ye is that he is serious, has a strong aura, and has strong sword skills.

Although the fat man had never seen Shen Ye draw his sword, after joining the Yi group, he had always heard of Shen Ye's sword skills very strongly.
