Chapter 7 Kazuma Kiryu

"Learn sword?"

Jiubingwei blinked his eyes a few times with confusion on his face.

"Young Master, why do you want to learn swords so suddenly? Haven't you always had no interest in swordsmanship?"

"The people of the 'anti-barbarians' are so unreasonable and hateful, so I decided to start practicing swords seriously from today, and when they come to attack me again next time, they will beat them to a fallen water." Qingdeng said half-truth.

Listening to Qing Deng's words, Jiubingwei was stunned for a moment, and then he showed excitement.

"Young Master, right! You have to have such ambition! This is the warrior! That's right! That's right! You wait, I'll get the account book and money."

Jiubingwei turned around and rushed to the back room.

In a short while, he returned to Qingdeng.

When he returned to Qingdeng, he had an extra book, abacus and a bag of money in his arms.

Qingdeng looked at the bag of money in Jiubingwei's hand with a bit of sadness. This bag did not have much money, it was all the deposits of Qingdeng's family...

"Haraki Juiceng" doesn't know how to settle accounts, and her family's money and account books are usually handed over to Jiubingwei for management.

Jiubingwei brought over the low table placed in a corner of the hall, put the account books onto the low table, then put the abacus and the next to the account books, and then quickly settled the accounts.

After a moment, Jiubingwei stopped his plan, then untied the money bag containing all the deposits of their Ju family, and took out some silver coins and a large string of copper coins from it.

"Young Master..." Jiubingwei smiled dryly with an awkward expression, "After reducing the necessary expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation... the funds we can use now are only 11 folk silver and 6,000 folk copper coins."

In the Edo period, three currencies: gold, silver and copper were circulated on the market.

1 tael of gold≈64 in the silver≈6400 in the copper coins.

After learning that there was only a little free money at home, Qingdeng's chin almost fell to the ground.

"Is there only so much money?"

"Young Master..." Jiubingwei sighed, "The family's Yucai... has basically been used to pay off the debt..."

Listening to Jiubingwei's words, Qingdeng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

——It’s really a penny that stumps heroes…

After silently sighing in his heart, Qingdeng sighed.

"Oh... well, just have less money. Jiubingwei, which is the best sword hall that Yucai can provide me with? "

The original owner of this body was not interested in swordsmanship, so there was not much information about Edo's sword hall in my memory, so Aodo could only turn to Kyuhide.

"Oh..." Jiubingwei looked embarrassed, "Young master, you've asked me... I don't know what kind of sword hall is? The sword hall I can call out with one hand..."

"I think so..." Qingdeng sighed softly, "There is nothing I can do... I'll ask some of my friends later and I'll take a look..."

"Ah!" Jiubingwei suddenly slapped his forehead, "Young master, I remembered, do you want to go to Qianshiwu to ask?"

"Qianshi House?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, "What is this?"

"It's a job introduction office." Jiubingwei said, "Young master, isn't our family short of money recently? So I thought about finding some jobs that I can also do to subsidize the household income, so I learned about this job introduction after someone introduced me."

Qingdeng: "Career Institute?"

As the ruling center, political center and economic center of the Edo shogunate, Edo was the largest city in the Edo period.

As the largest city of this era, Edo naturally attracted young people from all over the country and dreams of getting rich.

A large number of young people come to Edo to work, and there is no newspaper in this era. Information exchange is quite difficult with convenient things like the Internet, and it will be quite difficult to find a job in this city with a population of millions on their own.

So—a career agency dedicated to helping people introduce jobs came into being.

Most of the job-related offices in the Edo period were run by private offices. In Edo, there were more than twenty job-related offices, large or small.

"Nine Bingwei, what I'm looking for is the Sword Hall, not a job."

"Young Master, listen to me." Jiubingwei shook his head, "That Thousand Story House can not only introduce work, but also introduce sword hall. This is one of the important signs of others."

"Oh?" A light of interest flashed in Qingdeng's eyes immediately, and his body subconsciously leaned towards Kyuubi.

"I don't know much about it. I only know that Chishiya can not only help people who are looking for jobs to introduce jobs, but also help those who want to learn swords in Edo to introduce swords suitable for them."

"Hey... Is Qianshiwu..." Qingdeng Mosuo took his chin, "Can you introduce the sword hall to someone... It sounds good."

"Okay, it's decided!"

Qingdeng clenched his right hand into a fist and gently hammered his left palm.

"It's just one day off tomorrow! I'll go to that Qianshi House tomorrow morning to ask."

Don’t procrastinate in doing things, do whatever you think of - this is one of Qingdeng’s most complacent advantages.

As a reward for successfully attacking the "benevolent and righteous people", we will allow all those who participate in this action to have a day off tomorrow, which will be able to make effective use of this holiday.

"Kyuubi, do you know where that Qianshi House is?"

Jiubingwei nodded: "It's quite close to us."

...

...

The next day (January 13), early morning—

After eating the breakfast cooked by Kyuubi, Aoden put on his clothes and wore a knife and flank between his left waist, which symbolized the identity of a samurai, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.

Qingdeng's doorstep was facing a dirt road that was neither narrow nor wide.

It is about 7 o'clock in the morning. After turning on the dirt road facing the doorstep of his house, Qingdeng saw a warrior in groups of three or three, just like him, or in a hurry to go to "work".

In Japan during the Edo period, in order to show that there is a difference in identity and to avoid causing disputes, samurai and civilians generally do not stay together.

Samurai live in the "samurai settlement area", while civilians live in the "civilian settlement area".

Hatchobori where Aoden lives is one of the samurai settlement areas. Therefore, samurai wearing swords can be seen everywhere in Hatchobori.

In terms of number, Edo has far fewer samurai than civilians, but the samurai's residences occupy most of Edo, and the land occupied by the samurai is the best in Edo, which makes the majority of civilians crowded in those areas with the worst geographical locations.

The allocation of resources is so unfair that people just want to sigh "the evil ruling class" with a sad mood.

I had no time to enjoy the street scenery of ancient Japan. At the doorstep, Aoden rushed to the Thousand Story House without stopping following the address mentioned by Kyuubi last night.

What Jiubingwei said is not false - that Qianshi House is indeed not far from Qingdeng's house.

Qingdeng trotted all the way, and in just over 10 minutes, he saw a wooden house with a very simple appearance at the end of his field of view.

There is a door plaque with three large Chinese characters "Qianshiwu" written on it at the top of the door of this wooden house.

In ancient Japan, like in ancient China, houses were basically made of wood.

Since Japan launched the Dahua reform in 645 AD, fully learning the advanced culture of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After Japan has brought Chinese characters directly to use them. Before that, Japan has not had its own characters.

After the Dahua reform, the usage rate of Chinese characters in ancient Japan has always been very high. A formal document from the government may have written all the contents of Chinese characters...

"Is this the Qianshi House..." Qingdeng stood in front of the shop, looking at the office with a simple appearance.

“Is it open now…”

Qingdeng muttered like this, and walked quickly towards the door.

When you put your hand on the door handle and prepare to pull the door open-

"Oh~ Mr. Kiryu Ichima, you can even repair Wu's server?"

"Well, because I have studied the production and repair of Wufu in Muromachi before."

"Mr. Kiryu Ichimachi! You really know everything! That's amazing!"

"You're acclaim, these are just some small strengths that are not worth mentioning."

Two simple conversations came from behind the door to Qingdeng's ears.

Crazy-

Qingdeng pushed open the wooden paving door.

The first thing that caught Qing Deng’s eyes was an old lady with some thick lips.

The old lady was kneeling in front of a low counter.

Behind the counter, there was an old man who looked 8 or 90 years old, wearing glasses on his nose, smiling warmly, and looking quite gentle.
