48 Hours a Day

After the blackboat incident, Shogun Edo concluded the Kanagawa treaty with the United States, forcing the opening of two trading ports in Shimoda and the Correspondence Hall. By the end of the five years of Xiao 'an's reign tomorrow, both sides signed the Japanese-U.S. Friendly Trade Treaty on the Bovatan, adding Kanagawa, Nagasaki, Niigata, Hyogo and other ports, and allowing foreigners to stay in business around Edo and Osaka.

Although Kyoto is not among them, it is itself very close to Osaka, only a day away. Compared to the Treaty of Friendship and Trade between Japan and the United States, nearly a decade has passed. After the change in the door, the Wang Yayi sect reconsidered its strategy. Now, only the Wang Yai sect has been raised, the target has been set backwards, no more mention of the ravages, and it has begun to cooperate actively with the West. Therefore, the scope of activities of the Westerners is also greater.

As one of the most important rivers in the Kansai region, Yodogawa originated from Biwako, connecting the Kyoto basin with the Osaka plain. In the Edo period, it was an important transportation channel for Kyoto. Most of Osaka's foreigners also came to Kyoto along the river. Zhang Heng searched for the nearest pier and arrived there before sunset.

It is not less lively than Fang Shi, there are townhouses all along the bank of the river, one word is neatly arranged on the roof, the sign and warm curtains move with the wind, the first floor is fine convex, the second floor is bug cage windows, this is a very traditional Japanese architecture, with a wooden structure, the entrance is small but extremely long, in general the adjacent part of the street is used as a shop, the back room is used to live, the advantage is that the shop is more dense, one room is next to the other.

There is a boatman unloading on the pier and a lady who is ready to sail the river. There is also a shrine not far away, and a number of believers gather outside the door to pray for blessings or defend themselves.

Zhang Heng did not spend much time finding a Western businessman who wanted to hire a translator, named Gabrielle, a Frenchman who came to Kyoto with the business group and talked to local businessmen about a cotton yarn sale, but he was obviously not satisfied with the cotton yarn business and seemed to have some other plans. However, what he wanted to do was not easy to tell others in the business group, so he could not use a business group translator.

Where to find the Japanese who understand French, Zhang Heng came to the door, Gabriel Daxi, waved his hand, directly opened a small daily salary, the so-called small judgment is a kind of gold coin commonly used during the Edo period, a small judgment is about one or two gold, and one or two gold equals about sixty yuan of silver or four coins, at this time Kyoto a craftsman's daily income is about seventy languages, in other words, Zhang Heng can now earn almost two months to catch up with the craftsmen.

Zhang Hengfa did not know anything about the translation market. He consulted with people at the pier before his arrival. There is now a huge gap in professional translators in Japan, but there are not as few people who can communicate with foreign businessmen as before the Black Ship incident. In fact, even when the Shogun closed the country, Samoa, Changzhou and other clans have been secretly doing some business with outside countries.

The Japanese iron cannon (actually a fireline gun) originated in the Samoan clan when a Portuguese merchant ship was blown by a typhoon to Seed Island south of Samoa, hence the Japanese iron cannon was also known as Seed Island Iron Cannon.

Now that the Shogun has been open to business for more than a decade, there are many Japanese traveling to Europe to study, and translation is not so valuable anymore.

Gabrielle's offer had doubled the market price, despite the fact that the parties were not familiar with it, and Zhang Heng had asked for an additional advance on a small judgment. Even so, Gabrielle had not hesitated to agree for long, and Zhang Heng knew that what the French businessmen were going to do in Kyoto would not be easy.

However, with Zhang Heng lv3's knife method and the experience accumulated in previous copies, he was not too worried about the danger, not to mention that now that the sun had set, he might not be able to find the next employer, so the two sides eventually reached an employment agreement.

After paying Zhang Heng a small judgment, Gabriel asked the latter to meet him at the teahouse next to the pier tomorrow morning, and when Zhang Heng left the pier, the sky was completely dark.

Zhang Heng was not very hungry because he had added a meal before approaching the copy, but now he must quickly find a place to stay.

In order to control the famous lords everywhere, the shogun of the Edo period has set up a system of attendance statements, which requires the clan lords to run to Edo every other time to carry out the affairs for the Shogun General. Of course, this is the starting point, mainly to facilitate the shogun to walk around the famous people, reduce their time in the territory, and also make them dare not fool around while in the territory, otherwise they may be directly taken down the next time they go to work.

However, Tokugawa was quite generous. Accommodation along the way was also built a lot. Later, it developed a cage house, a bit like a future hotel. Not only did it manage one or two meals, but many cage houses also had a special maid to take care of the passenger's living, but at the end of the scene, more people traveled, and the cage house began to become a mix of fish dragons. Not only were there rogues to provide gambling tools, help with tricks, but there were also cage houses that simply let the maids sell their colors.

After that, Osaka merchants first organized a wave, which was probably equivalent to a chain of hotels, unifying the service standards, so travelers can safely stay in hotels with guild signs outside the door.

However, whether it is a brigade cage house or a wave talk, it is only an excessive choice for Zhang Heng. Considering the short time of this copy, Zhang Heng is still more inclined to rent his own house. Looking at the time left, he was not in a hurry to go to the hotel. Instead, he found a tooth nearby to show him the house.

The tooth is a 14-year-old teenager, looks very clever, and he himself is a town in this area. The news is well informed, he is well aware of the affairs of all households. Zhang Heng paid him a hundred literary dollars first, and promised to give him a hundred literature after the completion of the work. He immediately came to the spirit, and he couldn't help but eat dinner. He immediately took Zhang Heng down the alley with him.

However, he highly recommended several houses in the golden area. The wanderer's customer around him didn't seem very satisfied. The two of them walked further and further away and had to fight the lantern. Zhang Heng had already planned to give up. He wanted to wait for tomorrow to continue looking, but the last place they came was to let Zhang Heng's eyes shine.

The entrance is a small courtyard, with a cherry blossom tree in the center of the courtyard, the water well under the tree is clear and crystal clear, the whole small courtyard is square, simple and beautiful, the seating area of the barrier door is also very spacious, there is also a tea room, at the same time the furniture is complete, in the words of future generations belongs to the standard of baggage.
