All the official positions he had held were the kind of "extra income" that as long as he was willing and raised his finger, he could easily receive ten times or even dozens of times the original salary.

However, Qingdeng's simple sense of justice did not allow him to do evil.

All his money is his legitimate income.

No matter how developed the commodity economy was in the Edo period, there was nothing to spend a lot of money on.

The only place where you can spend a lot of money... I'm afraid the only place is Yoshiwara - does Aomori dare to go to Yoshiwara?

If Qingden dares to go to Yoshiwara, he will be doomed!

His ambition of "sleeping with the big quilt" is still like a castle made of sand, which will collapse if he fails.

Except for the chief director, the other two are still the same, unable to accept the strange family of "one husband and three head wives".

Under such circumstances, if Aoden dares to go to Yoshiwara...

Souji, who has a gentle personality, and Mai Kinoshita, who has a soft ear, may have a chance to save their lives if they can be persuaded.

But Sanako, who has a strong personality, will definitely break off the relationship with Qingneng on the spot! She will never have any contact with Qingneng for the rest of her life!

Sanako definitely has such courage and decisiveness.

In order not to lose Sanako, Qingto would obediently walk around the high walls of Yoshihara whenever he saw them.

However, he did keep in touch with Gua Shengxiu, an old lady he met when he was tracing Huandu Lake. The two of them often exchanged letters.

I never go to the gold-selling caves represented by Yoshihara, nor do I buy luxury goods.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation don't cost much money - especially "accommodation". Qingdeng has been living in the imperial examination hall and doesn't even have to pay rent.

With a family fortune and salary of several thousand dan, a huge reward for severely injuring the barbarian group and pacifying the Qingshui clan, and a simple life, Qingdeng accumulated wealth in these three years that was worth nothing to a wealthy businessman.

However, for ordinary people, the wealth is quite considerable, about 3,500 taels of gold.

After purchasing weapons for the General Secretary and others, Qingteng's savings were directly reduced by more than half. Such a large loss cannot be called "more than enough."

However, the money was not wasted.

The weapons he bought are all good guns and swords worth the money!

At this time, Toudo Heisuke, who was the youngest and respected Aoden the most, shivered and whispered:

"Mr. Orange, how dare we accept such an expensive gift...?"

When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but put on an angry tone and said quickly, pretending to be annoyed:

"We have already bought everything. If you don't accept it, will it be stored in the warehouse and gather dust?"

Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

If it's a bargain that's not worth mentioning, then that's it.

But this kind of valuable item, with an average price of hundreds of taels of gold, finally made everyone hesitate.

Just when the scene was at a stalemate...that girl was indeed Qingdeng's "little cotton-padded jacket", she was always so worry-free.

There was only a "pop" sound - the general manager clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention:

"Ji Jun is right! These weapons were specially prepared by him for us."

"Who are we?"

"We are Tachibana-kun's best friends, brothers, right?"

"Since we are partners who treat each other sincerely, there is no need to be so humble. It will make you look unfamiliar!"

"It would be rude of us if we don't accept Mr. Tachibana's kindness with peace of mind."

As soon as the General Secretary finished speaking, everyone looked at each other again - this time, they were no longer at a loss.

"..."

Hijikata Toshizo pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a moment, he stretched out his hands and took the Izumi Mamoru Kanesada from Aomori.

Looking at the tea scabbard in the palm of his hand, his eyes flashed brightly.

It can be seen that he likes this knife very much.

"...Tachibana, thank you."

After saying that, Hijikata Tosei bent down and bowed solemnly to Aoden.

"You're welcome."

Qingdeng returned the favor with a smile.

With Hijikata Toshizo taking the lead, the others completely let go of their reserve.

"Okay, everyone line up! I'm going to distribute the weapons to your hands one by one!"

Among everyone, only Harada Sanosuke, Sanako and Kinoshita Mai are good at using special weapons.

One of them is a spear wielder, another is a naginata wielder, and the third is a fist dancer.

Therefore, the spear, the naginata, and the wakizashi in the cloth bag were tailor-made for the three of them.

The spear is named "Narukan".

It is a sickle gun with sickle blades on both sides of the gun head. One side is long and the other is short. The total length is 2.3 meters.

The so-called "naraku" is transliterated from the Sanskrit "naraka" in the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures describe the endless hell that can never be liberated.

Pierce Naraku - just by hearing the name, you can feel the extraordinary nature of this spear.

The name of the naginata is "Moon in the Pond".

It's a beautiful name, and its shape is worthy of such a beautiful name.

2 meters in length, light blue handle.

To prevent slipping, the handle is painted light white.

The long, slender blade that was like a willow leaf and shone with cold light silently announced to the outside world that it was not a flashy thing!

The name of the wakizashi is "Echizen Yasatsuki".

Mai Kinoshita does not know how to swordsmanship, she is a female ninja who specializes in bodywork and unarmed combat.

Therefore, instead of giving her a knife, it is better to give her a wakizashi that is small in size, can be used for self-defense, and does not affect her movement when worn on the body.

As for the remaining 8 swords, they were delivered to the swordsmen headed by Souji.

Although they come from different factions, they are all excellent knives.

Kondo Isamu - Noshu Sekikane.

Hijikata No. 3 - Izumi Mori Kanesada.

Shannan Jingzhu——Yunzhou Zhujiazhen.

Nagakura Shinpachi - Banshu resident Yamaji Shige.

Saito Ichi——Photographed by Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunishige.

Genzaburo Inoue——Kanejo, a resident of Shirakawa, Oshu.

Toudo Heisuke——Kami Sosuke Kaneshige.

The person standing at the end of the queue is the general manager.

Qingden held up the last knife in the cloth bag with both hands.

This is a very beautiful looking knife.

The blade is two feet four inches long (approximately 72cm). The handle, tandem and scabbard are all as white as moonlight. The scabbard has patterns of peony, arabesque and phoenix.

"This is a famous sword forged by the Sixth Generation Kaga Kiyomitsu. Souji, you must treat this sword well."

The director-general opened his eyes wide, his eyes sparkling, and he murmured involuntarily:

"Kaga Kiyomitsu..."

Except for Sanako's "Ikezakatsuki" and Harada Sanosuke's "Narukan" which are original works by the author, the weapons of the others in this chapter are all historical facts.

In history, there was a swordsmith named "Genryusai Shunaga" who specialized in repairing swords for the Shinsengumi. The swordsmanship notes he left behind detailedly recorded the swords of each member of the Shinsengumi. According to records,

Every time the Shinsengumi fought a tough battle, their swords had to be overhauled.
