I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 7: The use of katana

   Ogata no longer struggles with whether he is now traveling back to ancient Japan, or traveling to the parallel world of ancient Japan.

   Anyway, no matter where you travel, there is no difference, you have to eat and sleep every day, and live well.

   So, Ogata began to think about the next question-how he would live afterwards.

  噌.

   Ogata pulled out the sword in his arms again.

   Looking at Xue Liang's blade, Ogata sighed.

   "The knife...what's the use in this age..."

   Although the Edo period was an era where samurai was honored, the samurai had the privilege of being known as the samurai.

   But-since the opening of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan has been at peace for more than 100 years and nearly 200 years.

   The whole country is at peace.

   To say something awkward-the katana now has no use at all.

   The system in Ogata's mind is obviously a plug-in that allows Ogata to quickly improve his martial arts in a very short period of time.

   Defeat and kill opponents to gain experience points.

   With experience points, you have skill points.

   With skill points, you can give yourself a powerful body and superb martial arts in an instant.

   However-what is the use of having a strong body and superb martial arts?

   There is no need for samurai swords in this era. What use is it to become a great swordsman?

  In such a peaceful era, the best way out after becoming a great swordsman is to open a sword hall.

   If you can successfully open a sword hall in the future and attract a large number of disciples, you will be able to live a good life without having to rely on gruel every day.

   But...

   When I think of my best way out in the future, after opening a sword hall, I feel...somewhat lost.

   He is not interested in opening a sword hall. He doesn't want to open a sword hall.

   But if you want to ask Ogata himself-what do you want to do. Ogata couldn't answer by himself...

   Ogata doesn’t know what he wants to do, what he can do...

   Various thoughts tugged back and forth in Ogata's mind.

   How did time pass bit by bit.

   Gradually, Ogata felt sleepy gradually pouring out of his body.

"what time is it now......"

   There is no clock for Ogata to see the time.

   Although the weather can be used to estimate the current time, Ogata is too lazy to know.

  Since I felt sleepy, Xu Jian simply decided to go to bed directly.

   After all-he still has to go to work tomorrow.

  ......

  ......

   Ordinary samurai like Ogata without a fief, if you use vivid vocabulary to compare them, you can actually treat them as civil servants.

   The samurai who belonged to the shogunate helped the shogunate deal with various political affairs.

  The same goes for the samurai who belonged to the monarchs, helping their lord to deal with all kinds of political affairs.

   Except for the ronin who lost their lord or was expelled from the domain, the samurai basically had jobs.

   And Ogata’s job is the Treasurer.

   Its function is a bit like accounting on the modern earth.

   is responsible for the management and inventory of various materials in the clan government.

The official position of    Treasury Officer is also divided into quite a few levels.

   Ogata happens to be the lower level among the treasury officials.

   It is also because Ogata is at the lower level among the treasury officials, his salary will only be a miserable 50 stone...

  ……

  ……

   Just as it was light, Okinawa woke up.

  Today is the second day that Ogata came to the Edo period.

   is also the first morning that Ogata experienced after arriving in the Edo period.

   After simply washing up and putting on his clothes, Okinawa inserted his two sabers back to his left waist, ready to go to the city to work.

   Work as a warehouse officer during the day, go to Sakura Sword Museum to practice swords after work, and go to sleep after dinner at night-this is Ogata's daily life.

   is regular but also a bit boring.

   Ogata lives in a remote place, so he has to get up very early every day to arrive at his work place before he is late.

  ......

  ......

   "Ogata-kun, good morning."

   "Ogata-kun, you look good today."

   "Good morning, Ogata."

  ......

   To these greetings from colleagues, Ogata smiled and responded one by one.

   These people who greet Ogata are all treasury officials—all Ogata’s colleagues.

   Ogata is currently located in a room that is neither spacious nor narrow.

   This room is full of desks.

   Ogata and his colleagues work in this room every day before these cases.

   Some of the people who arrived earlier have already bowed their heads before the case and have started today's work.

   After smiling and responding to these colleagues who greeted him, Ogata knelt and sat down at his desk.

   Ogata’s desks are exactly the same as those of his colleagues-they are all arranged with pens and papers, abacus, and piles of various books.

   The relationship between Ogata and these colleagues who are also the treasury officer is actually not very close.

  The main reason may be related to age.

   Ogata is the only young man in this room.

  The rest are middle-aged and elderly people who have grown white hair.

   Because of the large age gap, Ogata and these middle-aged and elderly people have no common topics to talk about, so the relationship with these colleagues is naturally not very good.

   In addition, Ogata hardly participates in any social entertainment on weekdays.

  These colleagues of his go out to drink and listen to music together.

   And they naturally invited Ogata to participate in it many times.

   But for their invitation, Ogata has always refused.

   The reason why he didn't go to socializing and drink with them was because Ogata was poor and didn't have much money.

   On the other hand, it is because instead of drinking and socializing, Ogata wants to practice swords with his senior brothers in the Sakura Sword Museum.

   Those headed by Makino are Ogata’s friends.

   Compared with these colleagues who are not very familiar with, go to socializing that he is not interested in~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ogata wants to practice his favorite sword in the sword hall with his friends.

   Ogata and these colleagues who are also treasury officers are just ordinary colleagues and nodding acquaintances.

   Do not exchange too much greetings with colleagues, Ogata directly opened the account book in front of the table and started to work.

  ......

  ......

   Ogata inherited everything except the character of "Ogata Hara".

   Memory, swordsmanship, and work ability.

   Counting the changes in the in and out of the various materials that he is responsible for, he is beating his abacus with ease, and the work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

   The room is not too big or too small, covered by the sound of turning paper and the beating of abacus beads.

   But-no matter where you are or what kind of occupation, there are always people who paddle at work.

   Just like now-some people started a errand and started chatting while working there.

   "Do you know what happened yesterday?"

   "'That thing'? Which thing?"

   "Ah, I know. I've heard of it from others."

   "What the **** is going on?"

  "...The lord went hunting again yesterday. On the way back from hunting, a little girl accidentally ran into the lord’s car while playing ball..."

   "...and then? What happened to that little girl...?"

"I don't know... I heard that I was killed by the lord, and I heard that the little girl was not dead... Anyway, the little girl should not end well. Up..."
