You can let her make some suggestions, but as for letting her actually put it into practice... then forget it!

Moreover, to take a step back, Seito has planned to make Kinoshita Mai the commander-in-chief of the Shinsengumi's intelligence agency (Team 9).

Under such circumstances, it is really inconvenient for her to hold two jobs.

After listening to Qingden's complaint, the director fell into deep thought for a short time.

"That's right. You have to let professional people do professional things... Ah! Why not let Mr. Hijikata give it a try! Mr. Hijikata might be qualified for this job!"

"Hijikata? Why?"

The general manager chuckled:

"Didn't Mr. Hijikata work as a medicine seller before? He can be regarded as half a businessman! He should have great experience in how to sell things!"

After Qingdeng heard this, he immediately showed a helpless expression of "I don't know what to say."

Before becoming a member of the Imperial Guard Hall, Toshizo Hijikata worked in many jobs.

When he was 11 years old, he worked as an apprentice at the "Matsuzakaya Kimono Shop" in Ueno, Edo, but soon returned to his hometown of Hino due to a dispute with his senior.

When he was 17 years old, he went to work in a kimono shop again, this time in Denma Town, Edo. Then he returned to his hometown because of a disagreement with his boss.

After that, he went around selling "Ishida Powder Medicine", a secret recipe passed down from his family, and became a medicine seller.

The raw material of Ishida Powder is cowhide grass that grows on the Asakawa, a tributary of the Tama River.

According to Hijikata Toshizo, this medicine must be taken with hot Japanese sake and is effective for bone fractures, bruises, sprains, muscle pain, knife wounds, etc.

After joining the Shiweikan and settling down, Hijikata Toshizo brought all the Ishida powder medicine he had hoarded at home to the Shiweikan.

Whenever someone in the trial defense hall was injured, Hijikata Toshizo would rush to him very enthusiastically and take out his Ishida powder:

"Hurry! Come and try my unique secret recipe! The medicine is guaranteed to cure the disease!"

Although Hijikata Toshizo boasted about the efficacy of this medicine, it seemed that as long as he used this medicine, even his limbs that were broken in two could be put back together.

But after Qingdeng's personal experience... he concluded that the properties of this medicine are the same as the talisman water of "Tiangong General" Zhang Jiao.

The cure was cured by this medicine and me as a pharmacist!

If you can’t be cured, it’s because your faith is not pious enough!

Aintō strongly suspected that the reason why Hijikata Toshizo so enthusiastically recommended others to use this medicine was simply to get rid of these useless junks as soon as possible.

Just because Toshizo Hijikata worked as a drug seller for a while, entrusting the crucial chamber of commerce to him... This would be too childish.

Qingden spread his hands:

"Forget it, let's leave the matter of 'looking for a new president of the Chamber of Commerce' until later."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the sky outside.

Although the sun has not yet reached its highest point in the sky, it is already getting late.

"Xiao Si, it's almost lunch time, do you want to go out for a meal together? I haven't had a serious meal recently, and now I miss the hot meals just out of the pot."

Facing Qingteng's invitation, the Director-General nodded without any hesitation:

"Hurrah!"

…

…

After changing their clothes, Qingteng and the General Secretary walked side by side to the gate of the station.

Just when the imposing gate was close at hand, Qingden suddenly saw a familiar figure heading towards him and the general manager.

"Sanosuke!"

Qingdeng took the initiative to say hello.

Harada Sōyuki was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Aoto with surprise.

"Huh? Mr. Orange? You...why did you come out?"

Aren't you "retreating" in your secret room? Harada Sanosuke's eyes completed what he wanted to express.

"Because the purpose has been achieved, I came out."

After saying this in a joking tone, Aoto turned his head and looked at the young samurai following Harada Sanosuke.

I saw that this man's hands were tightly tied with hemp rope, and two team members controlled him one on the left and one on the right.

"Sanosuke, who is this?"

"Oh, this man was sneaking around Nijo Castle just now, so he was caught by the soldiers of the Second Division."

"He said he was from Tosa and came to Kyoto to travel to Kyoto to increase his knowledge."

"Although I think this person should be innocent, out of caution, Shinpachi, Uncle Gen and I agreed to bring him to the station first, and then let him go free after his identity is confirmed."

"Shinpachi and Uncle Gen continue to patrol."

"I will personally escort him back!"

After hearing this, Aoto nodded slightly and gave Harada Sanosuke a look of appreciation that said, "Not bad, you did a good job."

"Well, that! I forgive you for being brave! May I ask, are you the 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden?"

The sudden question caused Qingto's eyes to fall on the speaker - the young samurai from Tosa.

He swallowed hard and stared at Qingdeng expectantly.

"Well, I am Tachibana Aoden."

As Qingto finished speaking, the young warrior's expression was suddenly dominated by strong excitement.

After taking several deep breaths to suppress his surging emotions, he grinned:

"Being able to witness the honor of Lord Nioh with my own eyes, my 'trip to Kyoto' is a worthwhile trip!"

He was still looking at Qingdeng, but his eyes changed - his eyes were filled with strong admiration and envy.

Qingdeng smiled reservedly in response to the other party.

Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng looked at the other party subconsciously.

It's okay if you don't take a closer look. Once you take a closer look, you can't help but be surprised.

Although from the outside, the young warrior's hair, face and clothes were all dirty and shabby, there was one particularly striking thing about him - his eyes were particularly bright.

Eyes full of energy... At first glance, this may not seem like anything special.

However, for Qingdeng, who worked from a low-level official all the way to a high-ranking official in the border areas, with a social network covering all walks of life and meeting countless people, he knew very well: how rare and valuable it is to have bright eyes.

The eyes of most people are either bright or chaotic.

——It’s been a long time since I last saw someone with such clear eyes!

On a whim, Qingdeng asked:

"May I have your name?"

Qingdeng's sudden question startled the other party, and a look of nervousness flashed across his brows.

However, he still said every word in a loud voice:

"Sir, I'm Yataro Iwasaki!"

Qingden blinked a few times.

"...what did you say your name was?"

"Iwa, Yataro Iwasaki!"

"..."

Chief: "Tachibana-kun?"

Aoto suddenly fell silent, leaving the general manager, Harada Sanosuke and the young samurai...that is, Iwasaki Yataro at a loss.

It’s no wonder that Qingdeng suddenly did such a weird thing.

Because...his mind was overwhelmed by strong shock!

Aomori doesn't understand Japanese history.

He knew nothing about Japanese historical celebrities.

However, he still knows the name of the "Founder of Mitsubishi Group"!

Mitsubishi Group founder - Yataro Iwasaki!
