Aoden's answer naturally disappointed Echigoya Funsaburo and others.

But everyone present is worthy of being an elite who has been struggling in the cruel business world for many years. Even if they are unhappy, they will not hurt the surface kindness.

I saw that they all looked normal and did not reveal any negative emotions.

"Ah...that times!"

Someone sighed.

The other man held up the tea bowl, smiled on his face, and said respectfully to Qingdeng:

"Mr. Ju, at this critical moment of survival, we have to rely on capable people like you and Master Sheng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people shouted "quackly" like toads after the rain.

"That's right! Lord Omiya is right!"

"It's a blessing for us to be able to have a superb talent like Lord Juju come out in a time of chaos!"

"With Lord Ju, the national situation will definitely turn the crisis into safety!"

...

All kinds of flattery sounds rushed to Qingdeng.

The "Sashima" in this person refers to Aoden's old friend, and it also originated from the slightest and is trusted by Tokugawa Ishima.

At the beginning of the second year of Fumiko (1862), Katsura Taro took off his post as a professor of artillery in the Boshu Speaker and Martial Arts. With the reform of the Shogunate, he returned to the navy and served as the head of the Tsukiji warship training station (the principal of the Naval Officer School of the Shogunate).

On August 17 of the same year, he was promoted to a warship and began to be active as a senior bureaucrat in the administrative department of Muge.

Tokugawa Ieshima entrusted the full responsibility of forming the shogunate navy to Katsurain Taro.

Katsurain Taro did not disappoint Tokugawa Ishimatsu. With his day and night hard work, the establishment of the shogunate navy finally improved a little.

"Juin" and "Jiang" - one is "Military Minister of the Military Affairs Department", and the other is in charge of the shogunate navy. The two are called "Double Walls" under Tokugawa Ieshima.

There was even a saying in the Edo city: "The talent of the squad is one stone, and the jujube and the squad share nine dou, and the rest share one dou."

Faced with the flattery of the people in front of him, Qingdeng smiled slightly, neither showing any benefit nor impatience.

By raising the bowl to drink tea, Qing Deng sighed without a trace when his face was blocked by his palms and tea bowls.

A look of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

...

...

The next day, early morning—

The second year of Wenjiu (1862), December 2—

Edo, Koishikawa Kohigaricho, Test Hospital -

"Carrots, let's go."

"Moo~~"

Aoden, dressed in the formal suit of the martial family, rode his pet cow radish and drove to the avenue leading to Edo Castle with ease.

[Note·Wujia official clothing: that is, "元". The literal and practical meaning are the same, which is a suit. The upper body cover has a very straight "shoulder clothes" and the lower body is wearing "元". The materials of "元" and "元" are the same, and there are family patterns on both shoulders and the back of the neck.]

Although he was already an important shogunate official with great power, Aoden still lives in the Examination Hall.

With his current financial resources and status, let alone moving out of the test hall, it is more than enough to build a luxury house several times larger than the test hall in the city center.

However, no matter how luxurious the house or how many servants are, they lack the same crucial thing - the laughter and joy of their friends.

Kondo Yuki's generousness.

The elegance of the earth and the three years old is.

Inoue Genzaburo's simplicity.

Shannan Jingsu's elegance.

Nagakura Shinhara's unrestrainedness.

Saito Ichi's steadyness.

Fujido Heisuke's sincerity.

Harada Zuosuke's honesty.

The cheerfulness of Okina Headmaster.

Qingdeng couldn't bear these beautiful things.

Compared to living the so-called aristocratic life in a luxurious but lacking warm mansion, Qingdeng prefers the current bustle and noisy.

So he stayed in the test hall and was always a diner in the test hall.

Fortunately, his choice did not arouse everyone's displeasure.

Master Zhou Shuai, Yu Kondo and others all warmly welcomed Aoden's behavior of "staying on his back".

It is not because Qing Deng is here that it can greatly enhance the reputation of the Trial and Health Hall.

But because they really like this excellent and approachable young man.

The distance from the Seiya Temple to Edo Castle is not short.

If Qingdeng commutes on two legs like before, he will spend at least one hour of his day on the road.

There is no way, you can only ride a sedan chair or ride a horse.

However, Qingdeng really doesn't like sitting in a sedan chair.

The Chinese sedan chair is placed on the bar.

The Japanese sedan chair is placed under the bar - just like dragging a coffin.

In addition, Chinese sedans are usually carried by two bars and four people.

In contrast, there is basically only one bar in Japan, and two people are mostly carried.

One of the major consequences of this design is that the seat pocket is very unstable and very shaking.

Although Qingdeng doesn't "disturb" in sedan chair, it's really uncomfortable to feel like he's in an egg shaker.

Since taking the sedan chair once on his first day as a member of the Oriental and Otaku, Qingdeng has stayed away from this means of transportation.

Therefore, the only commuting choice in front of him is left to ride a horse.

Qingdeng doesn't hate riding horses.

However, when it comes to horses... he already has an excellent mount - a big black cow with a round head and a brain: a carrot!

Previously, Radish had been fostered in the Kochiba Sword Hall, mainly fed by Sanako.

I have to say that Zuo Nazi really raised the carrots very well.

Compared to the time when I bought it, it grew stronger, with black and shiny hair. It was also very cute because its head was very big and round, so it looked very honest and cute... It could be dragged directly to the "Animal Husbandry Exhibition" to participate in the exhibition.

In terms of the highest speed, a radish that is just a cow is naturally not as good as a horse.

But in terms of riding comfort, durability of long-term running and destructive power of charge, carrots are far stronger than ordinary war horses.

What’s even more rare is that Radish is very smart and humane, and is very compatible with Qingdeng.

The cow itself is a very human animal, and the radish is even more "the best among the cows".

It can understand human words and act faithfully on the order.

Qingdeng doesn't even need to hold the reins when riding a carrot.

As long as he says "radish, turn left", it will turn left with a "mooth" sound.

He said, "Radish, let's go", and it would "moo" again, and then hesitate to advance without hesitation.

He said "radish, rush", and it would "moosh!" and enter the "man bull collision" mode with a "moosh!"

Of course, it is not everyone's command.

According to Qingdeng's observation, Radish only obeys him and Zonazi.

As for the others... it all means to ignore it.

Qing Deng occasionally thinks this: With the current extremely chaotic national situation, when he really wants to go to the battlefield one day, he doesn't need to find a war horse, just riding a carrot on the battlefield is enough.

The key to mounts is to "unity between man and riding", rather than running fast or rushing fiercely.

Only when the rider and the mount have a very high tacit understanding can the greatest strength be burst out.

In order to facilitate commuting, Qingdeng took Radish back from the Chiba Sword Hall, then bought a small house next to the Trial Warehouse, transformed it into a cowshed and used it as a home for Radish. He also hired a farmer who was good at raising cattle, and asked him to take care of Radish's diet and daily life.

With Qingdeng's careful arrangement, Radish's life was so pleasant.

Eat or sleep, and work every day is just to send Qing to get off work.

After a while, one man and one cow came to a bustling street.

He was particularly tall, with three swords on his waist and riding a big black cow. After seeing such an iconic image, in a blink of an eye, the passers-by on the street separated from the left and right sides, giving way out a straight and spacious avenue.
