"Nishino-kun, long time no see~~"

As my grandson said this, he calmly sat down directly opposite Nishino.

Nishino looked at my grandson with careful eyes.

"...My grandson, what a coincidence. I never expected to meet you here."

The name of the famous "Katsu no Ryū", my grandson Chutaro who has secured the top spot among fire thieves just by his brains, is there anyone in Edo who doesn't know it?

There are often ignorant fanatics there who make nonsense: Why is my grandson Chutaro, who has no good martial arts skills, named "Dragon"? Why is he named before the highly skilled Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo?

Regarding this, the following old saying is really appropriate to explain: A layman can see the excitement, an expert can see the door.

A knowledgeable person like Nishino knows clearly in his heart: My grandson is undoubtedly the number one general among thieves and thieves!

Fire to thieves is changed to the army, the army is an organization, and organizations need to be managed.

And management ability...my grandson happens to be the leader among them!

On weekdays, my grandson is not only responsible for leading a team under his command to detect cases, but is also responsible for overall coordinating all paperwork and logistical transportation of the gangsters.

The recent battle against the Kaibi Bandits profoundly demonstrated my grandson's superb organizational and management abilities.

In management science, every time the number of people under management increases by an order of magnitude, the difficulty of management increases exponentially.

Some people only take dozens of people out for outings, but accidents happen frequently, and some even fail to hold a gathering for just a few people.

However, my grandson was able to drag hundreds of rough samurai from Edo to Kai. Not only did they arrive on time without any non-combat attrition, but he also maintained very strong morale and strong combat effectiveness.

After arriving at the front line to suppress the bandits, the entire army did not even need to rest at all. They could fight immediately after being pulled out.

From the time of departure to the return of the troops, the entire army was fully clothed, well fed, and well supplied with ammunition.

Be it food, clothing, swords, guns, arrows and bullets, all materials are continuously supplied to the front line without interruption - these are all the credit of my grandson.

Logistics and transportation is a complex university subject.

It's not as simple as just writing a letter to the rear, and then the people in the rear will immediately follow your order and deliver all the supplies you want to the designated location.

The Edo shogunate is no longer the "war machine" that wiped out all the unconquered people three hundred years ago.

The current Edo Shogunate exudes the smell of decay from top to bottom.

Officials are unable to do anything, and they are the first to blame others.

The officialdom under the Edo shogunate was even more like this.

In order to maintain their dominance, the Tokugawa family deliberately created a serious phenomenon of redundant officials.

From Lao Zhong at the top to Tong Xin at the grassroots level, there are a large number of people who hold concurrent posts.

The Tokugawa family's intention is obvious: to disperse power so that the people under their command cannot form a joint force.

The daily governance of Edo is one of the typical works.

The entire Edo was divided into three areas: the samurai area where samurai lived, the temple area where temples and shrines were dedicated, and the town area where residents lived.

The governance structure of each region is different.

The temple area is under the jurisdiction of the temple shrine, and the town area is under the jurisdiction of the shrine.

The execution office has no right to intervene in all affairs of the temple grounds. If a criminal escapes from the town to the temple grounds, the official officers of the execution office are not qualified to chase the person into the temple grounds and arrest the person. They must obtain permission from the temple administration.

Entering the boundaries of the temple grounds.

Power has been dispersed to this extent, and the Tokugawa family still feels it is not enough.

The Edo Administrative Office was split into the Northern Administrative Office and the Southern Administrative Office, and the two administrative offices took turns to serve on a monthly basis.

The maximum number of temple priests is 4, which means that at any time, there are at least 4 temple priests in the shogunate, and they take turns to work on a monthly basis. Each temple priest only needs to work for 3 months of the year, and the other 9

I have been resting for months.

Most of the official positions in the Edo shogunate were like this, and everyone took turns taking turns on a monthly basis.

Although redundancy has many benefits, its side effects are also severe.

The biggest disadvantage of redundant officials is the appallingly low administrative efficiency.

If you tell the bureaucrats at the rear, "Send the rice here at noon tomorrow," they will drag their feet until half a quarter before noon tomorrow, and the rice delivered will either be out of date or not enough.

.

If you approach them aggressively to settle the score, they can come up with a thousand reasonable and legitimate reasons to explain to you that they have no choice but to do so.

After a lot of effort, you finally succeeded in persuading the other party to help raise military rations, but within a few days, it was time for the changing of the guard once a month! The other party went home to rest, and another person came to contact you, and then the new one came up

People don’t agree with your food-raising plan... Well! All the matters discussed in advance are cancelled, and negotiations have to start from scratch again!

Without any means or ability, it is impossible to let these decadent bureaucrats who spend all their skill points to fish in troubled waters work hard for you.

The donkey who can only take half a step forward with a whip is much better than them. At least the donkey will really move forward after being whipped and will not go back.

After sending troops to Kai, my grandson faced such a suffocating situation - yet he was able to overcome all these difficulties.

After discovering that the snow would arrive earlier this year, he immediately started to collect cotton-padded clothes. Within a few days, all the soldiers in the army were wearing warm cotton-padded clothes. Ordinary people may not be aware of this, but people like Nishino

For an active official who has seen too much darkness in the officialdom, my grandson's ability to "reach out for food and you will get food, and reach out for clothes and you will get clothes" is simply unbelievable.

Compared with the logistics coordination ability of "whatever you want, you will get it", my grandson's organizational management ability, which can organize hundreds of wolf-like warriors into organized transportation, does not seem so dazzling.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements - my grandson is such a "good at fighting".

It is precisely because my grandson is behind the scenes that Aoto, Kanazawa and others on the front line can fight the enemy without any worries.

This is why throughout the ages, when discussing merit and rewards, people who don't show much face and seem to have no sense of existence are always ranked first in the credit book.

Xiao He of the Han Dynasty was like this, Sun Wuji of the Tang Dynasty was like this, and Li Shanchang of the Ming Dynasty was like this.

Ordinary people don't understand the true power of my grandson.

Therefore, the public often only regards my grandson as a "famous detective" who is very good at solving serious cases.

Of course, my grandson’s criminal investigation skills are also very sharp.

According to legend, except for getting up to eat and go to the toilet, my grandson was able to work continuously for three days and three nights without stopping - of course, this is just a "legend". Whether this is true or not, Nishino doesn't know clearly.

"Ms. Teshiro~Ms. Teshiro~"

My grandson's signature drawl attracted Nishino's attention.

"Coming, coming!"

The sound of light footsteps pattering, from far to near.

"Please have a cup of black tea."

"Okay! Do you need refreshments?"

"No need. I don't like eating while drinking tea."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, the tea will be here soon!"

"Remember to add more tea leaves to make the flavor stronger."

As my grandson said this, he reached into his arms and prepared to take out his wallet to pay.

However, he had just had time to take out half of his wallet when a strong arm suddenly handed Miss Teshiro several copper coins.

"I paid for his tea."

Nishino said.

The Teshiro girl doesn't care who pays the money, as long as she has the money, she can take it.

"Okay! Thank you for your patronage!"

Miss Teshiro took the copper coins, smiled sweetly at Nishino and my grandson, and then walked away with cheerful steps.

My grandson watched Miss Teshiro leave and stuffed his wallet into his arms.

"Oh~ Mr. Nishino, why are you embarrassing me like this?"

"Don't worry."

Nishino said calmly.

"This tea money can be regarded as my gratitude to you."

"Thank you?"

"My grandson, thank you for your help a while ago."

"Huh? A while ago? Help? When have I helped you?"

My grandson tilted his head in confusion.

"Thank you for the information you provided on the day the bodies of the Kanazawa brothers and sisters were discovered."

Although I have heard my grandson's name for a long time, Nishino has never established a personal relationship with him because of the different departments he belongs to.

It wasn't until a while ago, when he went to the place where the Kanazawa brothers and sisters were killed and was ordered to supervise the case, that the two had their first communication.
